Au ra

We Xaela are nomads who roam and live off the land. My tribe was no different. Yet though we did no harm to those whose lands we traversed, they treated us as vermin. in their ignorance, they feared us, and that fear manifested as spite and violence.

My loved ones and I were cursed at, spat upon, beaten, and worse. It was out of the desire to protect them that I began my research.

-Alaqa the Witch

The Au Ra are a misunderstood people due to their physical appearance. Their scaled bodies and horns led many to fear them, believing them to be descendants of dragons or demons. This fear led to hate, which gave way to violence, leaving these proud people few in number across the world. These conditions have led the Au Ra to value their families beyond all else.

Variable Size

Au Ra are characterized by their curved horns and intricate patterning of scales across their bodies. Sleek and powerful tails extend out from behind the Au Ra. There is a striking difference in height between the males and females of the race, the men ranging from just over 6 feet tall to 7 and a half feet tall, while the women are dwarfed, rarely coming close to 6 feet tall. Their faces contain sharp features and piercing eyes, alluding to their normally serious and sullen demeanor.

Au Ra tend to dress very modestly, wearing simple robes and lengths of cloth drapped over their bodies as cloaks, especially amongst the nomadic Xaela tribe.

Divided By Blood

The Auri creation myth tells the tale of two beings, the dawn father and the dusk mother. The two kinds of Au Ra have beliefs about their connection to these beings. The dark scaled Xaela are a nomadic people who believe that the blood of the dusk mother coarses through their veins. The Xaela view themselves as free spirit folk, who roam the lands hunting, gathering, and battling against other roaming tribes, in honour of their ancestors of the past. The light scaled Raen on the otherhand has moved on from the nomadic lifestyle, building a great city beneath the waves of the Ruby Sea to make their home. Here the Raen live a life of tranquility and solitude from the rest of the world.

Peaks, Valleys and Plains

The Au Ra's homeland is known as Othard, a region to the far east. A majority of their homeland is covered by sprawling plains known as the Azim Steppe which dominates their country. The Xaela clans travel across this sea of land in close knight tribes. The northern and western reaches of Othard are shieled with high mountain peaks and deep valleys shrouded in mist. To the East extends the Ruby Sea, beneath which the Raen have made their home, hidden from the world.

For my family

An Au Ra may set off on an adventure for any number of reasons. A thirst for adventure may awaken in them and draw them from their isolated clan lives, or an act agaisnt their clan or tribe has forced them to action.

This could go as far as searching for lost family members, or seeking revenge for a slight against their family. For the Au Ra, family is extremely important to them, and may serve a central purpose to drive them to explore the world.

Au Ra Names

The Au Ra approach names in two starkly different ways. The Xaela see many names shared across tribes, but there are as many spellings for the same name as there are tribes. Xaela take the name of their tribe as their surname. The Raen name themselves in their tongue in a way that their name carries meaning. Only those belonging to the ruling and warrior class of society legally have surnames, while commoners may take a surname, it is not legally recognized. Raen who are in power often take surnames related to their feats in battle, while commoners take names related to their profession.

Alignment. The Au Ra as a whole do not tend to neither good nor evil, or towards law or chaos. The Xaela tend strongly towards the chaotic lives of nomads outside of the laws of civilized city-states, while the Raen enjoy the order provided by the law. Often times an Au Ra finds themself to be the product of their upbringing.

You are more outgoing than your Raen counterparts and are much more willing to engage in battle to resolve a conflict.

They are a reserved people, living in isolation from the world, but have no animosity towards other city states.

Elezen

For centuries, our nation has been punished for the sins of our forefathers. If our punishment is to end, I believe we must right the wrongs of antiquity and move forward as a nation united. Needless to say, my father did not share this opinion.

-Ser Aymeric de Borel, Lord Commander of the Holy See

The Elezen are a race divided within themselves, and their often arrogant attitudes keep the other races at an arms reach. The Wildwood live off the lush forests, using their keen eyes to hunt and gather in the dense forests or live in the religious oligarchy of Ishgard, cut off from rest of the world. The Duskwights in contrast are notorious for thievery and pillaging. Spending much of their live in caves and caverns hidden in the forest.

Elegance and Pride

Long legs, slender bodies, pointed ears and sharp features are all marks of an elezen. Only rivaling their otherworld appearance is the poise with which they carry themselves. Their tall, thin frames only differ within the race by the colour of their skin. All Elezen try to clothe themselves whenever it is appropriate, valuing their appearance.

Difference of Opinion

The Elezen race is divided due to their pride. The Wildwood and Duskwights found they could not coexist and distanced themselves from one another. The Wildwood believing they are the true rulers of the forests in which they live and hold dominion. The largest population of Wildwood Elezen live in Ishgard, a massive religious city embroiled in a war against dragonkind, closed off from much of the world. The Duskwights, who made their homes in the cavern systems of the forests have since been driven to crime to survive due to the Wildwood's clutch on the boundaries of the forest.

The Woods and the North

The forest which the Elezen live is the Black Shroud, a massive forest brought to order by the Wildwood, who protect the forest from poachers and other threats which would encroach on it. Duskwights, who disregard the need to protect the forest and hunt to their content. Looking to the Northern city of Ishgard, towering spires, homes and a grand cathedral hide behind their giant gates. Living conditions in Ishgard are rough, as the poor go hungry in the lower levels of the city, while the wealth live in exuberance, looking down on the less fortunate citizens, ruled by the religious teachings of the Holy See.

Honour and Vengeance

An Elezen may set out on an adventure for many different reasons. An Ishgardian Wildwood hungry for revenge against the dragons may set out to seek greater strength, while another may take up arms to defend their forest home from an encroaching threat against the Black Shroud. Duskwights may set out to gain honour and riches to support their family or to prove to the world they are more than just a thief. Perhaps you seek glory in battle, and head out to find this fame.

Elezen Names

Both the Wildwood and Duskwight clans of Elezen spell their names very similarly. Men's names are longer and always in -loix, -aux, -mont, or -geant. A female's name will always end in -ne, -ette, -elle, or -ie.

Despite the similarity in their first names, the Elezen tribes over time claimed sur names for either side. These surnames will never cross clans, but only those who live within the race will know the difference.

Hyur

Thal's Balls...I'd forgotten what it was like to feel so alive! Not since leaving the bloodsands have I had the privilege. Not since the Bull of Ala Mhigo hung up his swords. Back then, the outcome might have been different. But I do not begrudge you your victory. I know how far you have come, how much you have endured. Our fight only confirmed it. We shall have to do this again one day, when time allows.

-Raubahn Aldynn, The Bull of Ala Mhigo

Around 1000 years ago, the Hyur spread across the land in a great migration from the north. They made their homes wherever they could set their footing. Some took to the mountains, while others found a foot hold in any city which would accept them. Today the Hyur are one of the most populous races in the world.

Of Average Build

The Hyur are a race of average sized humanoids whom one may view as an average group of people, lacking distinguishing features such as pointed ears, immense size or horns. Over time Hyur have diverged into two distinct groups, the Midlanders and Highlanders. Midlanders are widespread across the land and come in all shapes and colours, becoming prevelant in all cities. Highlanders in comparison are taller than their Midlander counterparts, boasting a more powerful, muscular build.

A Matter of Location

The differences between the Midlanders and Highlanders was born from their homes long ago. The Highlanders are named for living at a high elevation, mountains in particular.

These tough living conditions lead to a heartier, more physically powerful people. The Midlanders lived at sea level and across the world, which minimized changes due to life in extreme conditions.

People of the World

Hyur as a whole make up a large percentage of the population in the world. Over a thousand years ago the Hyur immigrated in massive waves from their homelands and made their homes wherever their feet hit the ground. Highlanders are a special case within the Hyur, famed for their mountainous city of Ala Mhigo. In recent years, the Ala Mighans were forced from their homes to immigrate across the world, mixing into the cities across the world themselves.

Glory and Prosperity

The Hyur are a hardworking and ambitious people, no matter what walk of life they come from. It is for this reason that for every Hyur in the world, there could be a different reason to seek adventure. Some may head out on the road for the value of the journey itself, while others may do so in search of riches. Some Hyur may be adventuring on another's behalf, perhaps their family sitting at home, or to defend their people from an imminent threat. In a world with so many possibilities, it does not take much convincing to bring a Hyur to action.

Hyur Names

The names of the Hyur are in the common tongue of the land. Midlander may take names which are appropriate for the culture in which they live while Highlanders take names which have a harshness in their pronunciation. As a surname, Midlanders will often take a descriptive name for their physical traits or profession. Highlanders prefer to earn their surnames in battle, using feats of martial prowess or names with violent imagery.

Lalafell

But I will see them suffer no longer. The victory feast shall provide the stage on which I declare the dissoultion of the sultanate. 'Tis mine intent that the ruling class of our golden city should take its place beside the common man in a fair and equitable republic. No more shall this nation bow to the whims of a privileged few.

-Nanamo Ul Namo, Sultana of Ul'Dah

The Lalafell are generally a cheery race of people. Long ago the Lalafells lived as masters of agriculture and spread across the land along trade routes, selling their produce becoming one of the most widespread races there is. In time the Dunesfolk went as far as establishing their own desert city-state known as Ul'Dah. These tiny folk are highly ambitious and are not afraid to take hold of opportunity when it appears before them.

Tiny Yet Mighty

Lalafell anotomy sees these kindly people rarely growing to be 3 feet tall. Their short bodies are rotund, with short feeble looking legs. But appearances can be deceiving as Lalafells bodies are highly efficient, allowing them to travel long distances on their short legs. The Plainsfolk have larger, pointed ears which greatly improved their hearing, while the Dunesfolk developed a film which covers their eyes, protecting them from the sun and sand of the desert. Additionally out of tradition, Dunesfolk will place gemstones associated with their zodiacal sign on their foreheads.

Products of the Land

The Lalafellin homelands produced two types of people, from which they take their names. The Plainsfolk started off as agriculturalists living their lives on their farms, eventually trading their goods across the land, leading for lalafells to spread across the world. The Dunesfolk began and remain as desert dwelling folk, their bodies adpating to the harsh conditions.

Rolling Planes and Towering Dunes

The Lalafell can trace their ancestery back to two key area. The Plainsfolk began as farmers on fertile islands in the south, farming the fertile lands of their namesake. The Dunesfolk were not so luck to have farmable land and instead turned to animal husbandry. Traditionally Dunesfolk built their homes on the backs of beasts of burden, travelling with their herds. Eventually the Dunesfolk founded a great city of wealth, where nearly all Dunesfolk live today.

Family and Fortune

Lalafells care deeply for their small families and would do anything for them. They may set out on an adventure to support their families or in their defense. Not all Lalafells have such pure goals though as many contain a great deal of ambition in their tiny bodies. Merchants travel all over the land, researchers seeking knowledge in secret places, sellswords bravely take on jobs to prove themselves. Lalafells may be small, but they take on the world in a big way.

Lalafell Names

Both the Plainsfolk and the Dunesfolk name themselves using set rhyming schemes, ruled by rhythm and repetition. Syllables are combining in various combinations to form playful sounding names. This means that Lalafells generally do not have surnames unless they come from royalty, which adds their family name in the middle. Each gender and subrace of Lalafell have their own ruleset detailed below. Each letter indicates a syllable or pair of syllables.

Miqo'te

The Nunh that I once fought also believed that his strrrength would save him. He was wrong, and I am now Nunh. Many years ago I joined the Company of Heroes to hone my skills instead of challenging my predecessor before I was ready. Even when I was young I understood that victorrrry goes to the patient, the cunning, the pragmatic."

-U'odh Nunh, leader of the Drake Tribe

The Miqo'te are an aloof people who value their independence from the world. Centuries ago the Miqo'te migrated, Seekers spreading across the world in low numbers while Keepers finding dense forests as a new home. Traditionally they avoid the other races, but over time more and more Miqo'te have integrated into society with pockets of die hard traditional Miqo'te tribes surviving out in the world.

Lithe Hunters

The Miqo'te are a feline race with large catlike ears, fanged teeth and long tails. They have a highly tuned sense of smell and powerful legs, which have allowed them to become natural hunters. The Seekers of the Sun's ears are wider with thicker fur, while the Keepers of the Moon's ears are longer and stylized, with shorter fur. Futhermore, the eyes of the Seekers has developed such that the pupils are slit light, to help guard their eyes from the exposure of the sun, while the Keepers' pupils have become large and rounded. Many more women are born into the tribes and clans of the Miqo'te people.

Of Suns and Moons

The Seekers or the Sun and Keepers of the Moon are two distinct ethnicities falling under the Miqo'te. Their cultures differ greatly down to the social structures of their groups. The Seekers live in male dominant societies centered around an alpha male known as the Nuhn, and worship the god Azeyma. In constrast the Keepers live in a matriarchical society and worship the goddess Menphina.

Arid Sands and Dense Woods

The hot, arid deserts of Southern Thanalan are home to one of the most famed tribes of the Seekers of the Sun. Seekers can be found anywhere across the world, barring cold regions with a harsh winter climate. Those who integrate into larger cities tend to discard their tribal ties and take up the social norms of the city in which they live. Keepers of the Moon have taken to the dense forests away from the heat of the sun.

Adventure Calls

The Miqo'te tend to differ on their approach to life depending on their ethnicity. The Seekers of the Sun are bold individuals who are quick to jump into action, but also become bored easily. This natural need for excitement may call a Miqo'te to action, leading them out into the world to explore. Those from traditional tribes may leave their tribe seeking to start their own clan of Seekers, becoming the alpha of their group.

Keepers are guarded and brooding, which may stall them from setting out on a journey, but when the need arises to protect family, friends or their home, a Keeper will stop at nothing to protect that which they cherish.

Miqo'te Names

Seekers of the sun use a simple naming convention. Male names are one or two syllables and preceded by a letter which is associated with the tribe. The extra aitches (H) we see in names such as represent a slight hissing/spitting sound that is made when the name is pronounced by the cat-like Miqo’te. Many of the other races in Eorzea cannot accurately reproduce this sound, so the aitches (H) end up going silent when read. They do not take a family name, but instead are given the name Tia at birth. A Tia may change their surname to Nunh by challenging the tribes breeding male and defeating him in battle. If successful the two trade titles. Female seekers' first names are given in the same way with three or more syllables, but the surname is the first name of the breeding male who sired her.

The tribal prefix often gets dropped in casual conversation and with close friends and family.

The female Keepers use one to two syllable first names without a tribal prefix due to their small communities. Additionally in their culture the mother's surname is passed on to the children. The males born into the Keepers' communities take both of their mother's names, adding a suffix to the end of their first name to indicate their birth order counting the males. It is rare that more than 3 suffixes are needed.

Roegadyn

They sought to secure a place to breed and multiply, that their kind might survive. Self-preservation, as you say. But we have as much right to live and thrive as they. If our own survival is threatened, are we to lay down our arms and welcome oblivion? Nay.

-Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn

The Roegadyn are a physically powerful race of people with a thirst for life which few can rival. They live loudly with boisterous voices, larger than life goals and an unflinching approach to danger. Roegadyns are fearless explorers who long ago were the greatest pirates to sail the seas. Adventure is in their blood.

Size Matters

Roegadyn are enormous humanoids with a hulking muscular build. Men and women alike grow to tower over the other races. Partly due to their size, Roegadyn as a whole love competitions of strength and courage, challenging one another to push themselves and their bravery. Their faces have fierce features and large flat noses. Due to their large size, Roegadyn tend to wear durable, flexible clothing which allows them to move easily.

Maritime Reavers, Volcanic Hermits

The Sea Wolves live up to their names through a storied history on the ocean. Most Sea Wolf communities can be found on the coast, as most make their living from the sea.

Be it sailing, naval service or mercenary work, the Sea Wolves continue to feel most at home when adventuring on board a ship. The Hellsguard in comparison live in land around the volcanic mountains of abalathia. Here they guard the material plane from undead spirits trying to return home.

The Great Seas and Abalathia

The Roegadyn as an entire race hail from the Northern seas , their name translating to people of the rain. These sea fairing people can be found living in coastal citites the world over living as sailors, mercenaries and pirates.

The Hellsguard live around the volcanoes of the Abalathia mountains, believing their home to be a sacred place related to the afterlife. Those Hellsguard who choose to leave their mountain homes can be found in large cities near these mountains, making a living as sellswords or chasing deeper knowledge of magic.

In Their Nature

The Roegadyn people are a boisterous race, seeking out challenges to test their power and bravery.

They rarely need much convincing to head into the heat of battle for a cause they believe in, though coin may help speed them along. Sea Wolves have a long history of pirating, looting and battle on ships of all sorts, giving them a deep seeded thirst for adventure. Hellsguard grow up in solitude away from society, having no city to call their own. They may decide to head off in search of a more engaging existence by heading down their mountain and seeing what else the world has to offer.

Roegadyn Names

Sea Wolves and Hellsguard follow very different rules when it comes to naming conventions. Sea Wolves all derive their names by combining two words from their ancient Roegadyn Language. Women of the Sea Wolves also derrive their names by combining two words, but the second word is always one of eight words. Sea Wolves form their surnames by taking their parent's name and adding a third word; syn for males and wyn for females, indicating they are a son or daughter respectively.

Hellsguard on the other hand avoid their ancient language and use the common tongue. Their names are formed using two words as well, often drawing inspiration from nature. Women of the Hellsguard tend to use plant imagery in their names as well, but are not restricted to do so. Nearly all Hellsguard abandon their family names, refusing to be defined by their ancestors in the past.

Male Sea Wolf Names. Klynnahct, Flazfolg, Roehahtyn, Broenstymm, Haergeiss, Nedyrsatz, Unsynfarr

Volcanic Children. You know the Firebolt cantrip. At 3rd level you learn the Burning Hands spell and may cast it at the 1st level once before requiring a long rest. Charisma is your spell casting ability for these spells.

Arcanist

A lightly armoured man maneuvers through the battlefield alongside his carbuncle companion. The carbuncle dashes ahead and lets out a burst of magical energy, dazing their foes, while their allies return to formation, swaying the battle in their favour.

A quiet woman carefully scratches notes into her research tome. After a long quiet hour passes, a shining avian figure bursts forth from another plane, ready to heed her every command.

A carefully launched arrow catches the the elven woman's ally. Invoking a few words and raising her grimoire to the sky, healing magics close the wound, allowing their friend to fight on.

These skillful magic users take on many roles on the battlefield, be it a commander of their allies, a medic or a destructive force. Through careful planning and preparation an Arcanist becomes an indomitable force to stand against.

Magic Through Research

Arcanists work hard to explore the secrets of magic, only through deep understanding of formulas and geometrical figures can they produce magical effects. Their tomes and grimoires are filled with fascinating formulas and diagrams, which when fed magical energy from the arcanist's body burst forth into powerful spells. Ever thirsty for greater knowledge, an Arcanist seeks knowledge and then tests that knowledge.

Borrowed Power

One thing which sets the Arcanist apart from other spell casters is their usage of summoning companions. Early in their studies an Arcanist learns to summon forth a magical servant. This is the first major task of an Arcanist and helps to sharpen their powers. The companion borrows some of the arcanist's power and in return gives the caster an unwavering ally on the field of battle.

Creating an Arcanist

An arcanist's path begins with a few formulas scrawled in a tome and a large amount of time practicing their craft, researching to unlock greater power to have at their disposal. You must consider what was your arcanist's call to action? Perhaps their thirst for knowledge couldn't be satisfied at their desk, or they saw that their abilities could help the world in another way. Perhaps they uncovered some information that they must investigate or acted upon.

Whatever the cause which brought the arcanist out into the world, they do so with their research in hand and companion by their side.

Your avid research has allowed you to produce magic spells through the use of geometrical figures and formulae within your grimoire. As you level up, you are able to write more powerful formulas leading to stronger spells. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Arcanist spell list.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know 3 cantrips of your choice from the Arcanist spell list. You learn additional Arcanist cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Arcanist table.

The Arcanist table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of arcanist spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the arcanist spell list. When you do so, choose a number of arcanist spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your arcanist level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level arcanist, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of arcanist spells requires time spent rewriting your formulas in your grimoire: at least 10 minutes for each spell you change.

Spellcasting Ability

The spellcasting ability for your arcanist spells changes depending upon the discipline you select. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a arcanist spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast any arcanist spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a grimoire, tome, research notebook or other similar equipment inlaid with magical energy as an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the player's handbook) for your arcanist spells.

Aetherflow

Beginning at the 1st level, you are able to gather and hold clusters of magical energy in your body temporarily. You are able to hold a number of aetherflow clusters equal to half your Intelligence modifier, rounded up, minimum of one cluster.

Additionally, you may expend one aetherflow cluster to reroll a spell's damage or healing die roll result, but must use the new number.

Arcanist Archetype

At 2nd level, you decide on your area of specialization and along with it, the type of companion you are capable of summoning. A Strategist focuses on using their magical abilities and carbuncle ally to dictate the flow of battle, a Summoner harnesses the raw power of beings from another plane along with augmentations to their spells to rain havoc on their enemies, and a Nymian Scholar has decided to focus on the healing arts, seeking to expand the healing magic available in the world alongside their fey allies.

Summoning

Beginning at the 2nd level, you are able to perform a ritual to summon an aetherial companion which is able to fight alongside you. If you select the Strategist archetype, you may summon a carbuncle, if you select the Summoner archetype you may summon an Egi, and if you select the Scholar archetype you may summon a Nymian Fey.

To summon your companion you must spend one hour performing a ritual for which your spell casting focus is required. You may only summon one companion once before requiring a long rest.

If your companion strays farther than one mile from you, their bond to you and the material plane are severed, causing them to disperse.

Companion's Bond

Your summoned companion gains a variety of benefits while it is under your control.

The companion loses its Multiattack action if it has one.

The companion obeys your commands as best it can. it rolls for initiative like any other creature, but you determine its actions, decisions, attitudes and so on. If you are incapacitated or absent, your companion acts on its own.

Your summoned companion has abilities and game statistics determined in part by your level. Your companion uses your proficiency bonus rather than its own. In addition to the areas where it normally uses its proficiency bonus, a summoned companion also adds its proficiency bonus to its AC, attack and damage rolls.

For each level you gain after 3rd, your summonned companion gains an additional hit die and increases its hit point accordingly.

Whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement class feature, your companion's abilities also improve. Your companion can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or it can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, your companion can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature unless its description specifies otherwise.

The Summoned Ally

The Arcanist's most prized companion is the one they bring forth into the world. Through the use of grimoires and magical fomulas, Acantists have learned how to bring forth a magical ally to fight alongside them. Depending on the area of study an Arcanist explores, they are able to summon different allies. A strategist has learned to bring forth a carbuncle, a summoner has learned to bring forth elemental egis, and a nymian scholar has learned to summon a special type of fey.

Strategist

Most arcanists go the route of the strategist, highly intelligent spell casters who assist their allies by organizing their forces and swaying battle with tactical maneuvers. In the tradition of arcanists, the strategist who brings forth a carbuncle, to help dictate the pace of battle.

Field Commander

The creature may not move more than 5ft away from the carbuncle for 1d4 rounds.

The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the follow characteristics of your choice:

Astrologian

A slender woman draped in fine robes sits in a dark room across from a man who feels he has lost his way. Smiling she releases her Planisphere and a flurry of arcana cards into the air. From the squall of cards she draws and divines the man’s fate, instilling in the lost soul a sense of peace and hope for the future.

A man stands behind his allies on the battlefield. He raises his Star Globe to the sky and begins to channel energy into this tool. Using the power of the stars above, soothing energy radiates outwards, enveloping his allies, turning the tide of battle from the prior dire circumstance they fought against.

A well versed Astrologian stands before a congregation of people. She has come to spread the word of her rare new art, offering understanding of the future through the power of the stars. It has become her sacred duty to bring the stars into view for the common people.

Whether they stand behind their allies granting them the blessing of the stars and moons of the universe, or standing alongside them on the front line, Astrologians manipulate the fates of both friends and foe to find success.

Wielders of Fate

The first task of all Astrologians is to gain a mastery over using the deck of sixty. To them, fortunetelling is a tool which allows them to interpret the stars themselves. Their deck is based on the constellations that they study. The Astrologians are gifted a divining deck when they begin their study from their master. They act as a conduit for the magic energy gathered by their star globes, passing the empowering magic from the stars to their allies.

An Elegant Tool

The Star Globe is a tool used by Astrologians which allows them to locate and draw in power from the stars. The globes are formed by large rings of precious metal and lenses. The rings are marked using a large spread of precise markings and which allows the user to find and map the stars in order to draw power without a view of the sky.

Creating an Astrologian

Astrologians hail from a faraway island where knowledge is viewed as the greatest virtue. Astrologians are usually scholars by trade, and specialized in the study of astromancy. Often they find themselves born into the scholar’s life or into highborn families. Sometimes low born apprentices find themselves working beneath a master of astromancy and learn how to tap into the magic of the stars. Astrologians are blessed with the ability to read the future. Through the use of the deck of sixty and the stars they are capable of tapping into the future, though the farther they look, the less clear things become. Some Astrologians travel the land to share this gift of foresight with everyone, while others seek out opportunities to spread their young order of magic around the realm. Others track down allies and adventure, as the stars had mandated that the Astrologian set out on a quest for a task which they cannot see the end of. Astrologians borrow power from the cosmos, and in return seeks to see that the will of the stars is done.

The Heavenly Paths

When an Astrologian is early on in their studies, they select a sect of stars from which they will draw their powers from. The stars were mapped using the positions of the sun and moon, and these two sects are reflective of their reference points. The Diurnal Sect uses the sun as their reference point, creating their star maps with the sun being the key to navigation, while the Nocturnal Sect uses the moon as the reference point. An Astrologian may choose to minimally study the stars and focus their efforts into their tarot deck, learning advanced techniques on how to manipulate fate.

College of the Wanderer - Bard Archetype

Bards of the College of the Wanderer are adventurers who travel the land sharing not only stories, music and merriment, but soothing the souls of those who have passed on.

Members of the college of wanderers have made it their goal to record history through poetry and verse, while at the same time travelling the world and seeking out wounded spirits from the lands of the living and dead.

The college of the wanderer was an idea started by a famous archer who caused the deaths of his comrades. To cope with his grief he turned to the poetic arts and traveled the world trying to atone for his sins by delivering restless spirits to a peaceful slumber. He hoped to one day return to the place where his friends were lost, and lay their souls to rest.

Bonus Proficiencies

Black Mage

A Lalafell stands before a horde of kobolds, blood thirsty they dash towards him. With a few skillful waves of his staff, a large fire ball erupts from the gem inlaid at the end of the staff, causing a massive fiery explosion, leaving nothing but ash.

A woman wearing dark robes grins as she waves her wand before a guard refusing her entry. With a few choice words and a spell, the guard happily steps aside, unlocking the passage before falling unconscious due to illness.

An Elezen laughs at his reflection as he inspects his body after tapping into the powers of the void. His eyes glow red and his teeth bare fangs, signs that his mastery of magic is growing.

A black mage is a powerful ally who wields forbidden magic stolen from the void. This raw energy manifests itself into devestation spells and effects. Their power is only rivaled by their thirst to increase that power.

A Dark Past

In days long past, there existed an evil clan and arcane art known as black magic—a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the path of ruin.

Adventurers who take the black will become agents of devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through little more than the force of their will.

Ties to the Void

In order for a mage to don the black, they must extensively research what they call the void. This is another plane of existence from which Black Mages draw knowledge from in order to unlock power within themselves. Most black mages are able to explore the knowledge gained from the void through tomes and texts now, but some who thirst for new power may attempt to tap into the void directly. Black Mages continue to grow within their craft through continuing their study of the dark arts.

Creating a Black Mage

Black Mages are earnest in their desires and reasons for taking the black. More often than not it is in the pursuit of power or out of sheer curiousity. You must know why you are pursuing this power, or why you are curious about the dark arts. You must also decide where you began to dip your toes into the world of black magic. Did you join a cult of mages who studied the art? Perhaps a proper school which provides the proper materials to explore black mage. Maybe you were taken under the wing of a mentor who has mastered the art.

Level requirement and general description. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Black Mage spell list.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know 4 cantrips of your choice from the Black Mage spell list. You learn additional Black Mage cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Mage table.

Spell Slots

The Black Mage table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know 2 1st-level spells of your choice from the Black Mage spell list. The Spells Known column of the Black Mage table shows when you learn more Black Mage spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st, 2nd or 3rd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Black Mage spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Mage spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

The spellcasting ability for your Black Mage spells changes depending upon the discipline you select. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Black Mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a rod, cane, wand or other similar equipment as an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the player's handbook) for your Black Mage spells.

Ritual Casting

You can cast any Black Mage spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

Magical Discipline

At 1st level, you choose the discipline you belong to as a Black Mage. Destroyer, Inflictor, or Void Soul, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your archetype choice grants you features at the 2nd, 6th, 10th and 14th level.

Beginning at the 20th level, you recover 3 augmentation points after completing a short rest.

Bringers of the end

Unabated use of black magic lead to the downfall of the society in which black mages find their roots alongside the white mage's overuse of white magic. Black Mages wield incredibly destructive powers which set their world on a path to destruction once before, and careless use of this power could do so again. An Annihildator specializes in explosive and powerful magic, causing massive destruction wherever they go. An Inflictor is a black mage who uses enchantments and poison to cause a myriad of maleffects for their enemies, spreading sickness to cripple their foes. A Void Soul black mage has sought desperate measures to continue their studies which has led to the allowance of power directly from the void to course through their body.

Annihilator

Destroyers are black mages who specialize in maximizing the effects of their magic. Fires which burn hotter and ice which freezes more deeply. The more powerful their spell effects, the happier they are. They adore casting magic, getting a thrill watching the effects of their destruction on their foes.

Void Soul

A void soul is a black mage who has gone to great lengths to increase their knowledge of destructive magic. Not unlike a warlock, a void soul has allowed energy from the void to pour into their body, rather than borrowing from a patron. This path allows their strength to grow quickly and grant them powerful spells, but at the same time suffer side effects few could anticipate.

Expanded Spell List

Dark Knight

A man clad in heavy armor cleaves his way through the battle field. An aura of darkness radiates out from him. His blows are swift and sunder the foes' armor. His enemies turn and run, claiming he is no man, but a demon.

Standing before a wounded citizen, a woman clad in ebony holds out her hand towards the group of guards. She alone stands between the corrupted enforcers and the innocent soul. She chants in a lost tongue and a blast of dark energy launches from her palm, striking a guard down.

Battered and bloodied, a man drags himself to his feet. Armor dark as night, accented by his own blood, he feels energy bursting forth from his body. Using his pain as a weapon he strikes down the great beast before him before falling to a knee.

It is a dark knight's freedom from the bounds of the law which make these dark avengers so effective. Unconcerned with what is lawful, a dark knight is concerned with what is ethical in their view. Those who spread tyranny and injustice best prepare for a visit from a dark knight who aims to set things right.

Protecting the Meek

A Dark Knight is a knight who has taken up arms to serve the downtrodden. They serve no lords or institutions, believing no one is exempt from justice, no matter what their position in society. They protect the commonfolk from not only banditry and wild beasts, but from corrupt men who seek to oppress them. In return, Dark Knights are often fed and housed by those they protect, or rely upon bounty hunting and raiding looters to support themselves.

Internal Darkness

When an adventurer chooses the path of a Dark Knight they understand that they are renouncing their rights to be a regular member of society. They belong to no society, acting as paragons of justice who see no allegiance. To assist them in their quest, Dark Knights are able to sacrifice their own life force to power a well of darkness within themselves. They cause themselves great pain and exhaustion in order to allow dark power to course through their body which they harness in a variety of ways.

Creating a Dark Knight

Dark Knights are natural adventurers, living outside the law to see their goals to fruition. They may live within a remote village protecting the inhabitants from bandits, while the land's knights turn a blind eye to their plight, or they may travel the world seeking out institutionalized injustice and smiting it with violence. Dark Knights act on behalf of the common folk, and do so not expecting praise nor admiration. They are aware that they will not be celebrated in the history books like Paladins would be. Instead they expect to be demonized by history and happily accept this fact. One seeking to become a Dark Knight must be introduced to it through some means, be it an ancient tome with their rituals recorded or a mentor to impart their knowledge.

Using this understanding you are able to commune with another willing creature, to gain an understanding of what causes them to suffer at will. You place your hands on either side of their head and focus, creating an empathetic link with the creature which lasts as long as you maintain contact with the creature. You feel the emotions the creature feels which are causing it distress, and something which looms large in its mind such as something it loves, hates or worries over.

You may expend two Well of Darkness points to attempt to force your way into a creature's mind by casting the Detect Thoughts spell.

If you do not receive any healing during this time, you fall to 0 hit points at the end of the duration. This effect only occurs once, requiring a long rest to use it again.

A Path Shrouded in Sorrow

A Dark Knight takes up their sword knowing full well that the path they select will have harsh effects on their body and mind. They know they will be viewed as villains and monsters, while fighting to do the right thing. This understanding helps a Dark Knight select the path which they walk. A fledging Dark Knight decides where to direct this unavoidable misery. An Ebony Champion walks the path of a warrior, who will see countless battles, hardening themselves in the flames of war to become a peerless combatant. An Abyssal Channeler looks inwards, taking note of the darkness welling within them and learning to manipulate the raw life force energy into powerful Dark Arts. A Hellbound Dark Knight allows the darkness to run wild throughout their body, causing pain to themselves to drag their enemies to hell with them.

A woman stands among the chaos of war. She rushes down an opponent, striking with the ferocity of a dragon. Those who stood against her that day claim to have seen a dragon sweep the area with its fiery breath, rather than simply a woman with a longarmed weapon.

Grinning excitedly a young man jumps high into the air laughing. He has left the path of war to perfect his mastery of the sky. When he reaches the peak of his jump, he sprouts spectral wings and flies off into the distance.

These fearless warriors stand against dragons, demons, fiends and any other threats who would raise a hand against their homelands. Dragoons use their command of both the sky and ground to strike down their foes with deadly strikes.

Dragon's Bane

The Dragoon was a soldier born out of need in a distant land. Their homeland has been locked in a war against dragonkind for hundreds of years, leading to their soldiers to specialize in battling back against dragons. Their most notable ability is the Dragoon jump, which is powered by a magical gem each Dragoon receives upon completing their basic training.

Scourge of the Sky

The Dragoons have been blessed with the ability to soar high into the air like those they have taken up arms to destroy. These warriors are able to crash down from the sky using their weapons and body weight to drive any skyborn into the ground, or cause great damage to those already on land. Wings will not grant you safety from a Dragoon.

Creating a Dragoon

When creating a Dragoon, consider what brought them down the path of a specialized knight. They may have shown a certain aptitude which allowed them to become a dragoon with ease, or perhaps were born into the role due to the history of their homeland. A dragoon may have decided upon this path due to the stories of famed dragoons of legends, hoping to become as powerful and respected as the knights they had heard about while they were growing up.

Consider why a Dragoon would choose to head out on an adventure. Are they seeking a specific dragon, hoping to slay an enemy of their nation? Could your dragoon have unfinished business with a dragon from their past? Sometimes a dragoon may set out for the sake of journeying around the land.

Red Mage

Like a lightning bolt streaking through the battlefield, she makes quick work of foe after foe. At the first sign of danger, the crimson beauty flips over the head of the foe behind her, letting loose a wave of energy as a parting gift.

A confident smrik spreads across the face of the veteran red mage. He unleashes spell after spell in quick succession, drawing on countless elements until his foe is annihilated.

As though a flower amonst a sea of weeds, the red mage leads their allies into battle. With a deep trust that they'll stay at their side, she turns her friends into the perfect dancing partners for this adventure, empowering them to match their grace.

Red Mages have drawn on a multitude of disciplines across the world, mixing black and white magic along with focused swordplay and style. All of these abilities have combined in this alluring mix of talent and flair, creating a hero worthy of becoming legendary.

Crimson Mage

Some fairy tales of Gyr Albania speak of the heroic deeds and daring adventures of mages clothed in crimson. These adventurers are known as Red Mages, and travel the world protecting the good in the world by drawing on both white and black magic, while mixing martial prowess into a flawless battle style.

Its Not About Fame

Their thirst for adventure, flashy style and renowned flair may lead many to believe that a Red Mage becomes an adventurer for the admiration of their fellow man, but that is not the case. Those who take the Red do so in order to take up arms to protect the good in the world and bring wrongdoers to justice. It is their heroic spirit which drives them to action, the garnered fame is just a perk.

Creating a Red Mage

When creating a Red Mage, you must consider why they may be heading out on their adventure. Did they become fed up with the oppressive nature of the world and seek the need to become a hero to the common man? They may have learned of a plot which endangers their home, perhaps the world as a whole and will stop at nothing to end it. Maybe it is simply a need to chase the thrill of adventure and become a hero of legend.

One key consideration to make as a Red Mage is where you came to learn your myriad of skills. Was it through the study of old tomes you discovered in an abandoned warehouse or library? Did you meet a mentor who saw great potential in you and introduced you to the art? Whatever the origin, you wield powerful skills with an artistic flair.

Quick Build

You can make a Red Mage quickly by following these suggestions. First make Charisma your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity. Second take the Folk Hero background.

The experienced veteran stands before a group of bandits. Their untrained strikes are easily dodged by the man, as he delivers blow after viscious blow, punishing each of their failed attempts on his life.

A young woman wanders into the city, her identity hidden beneath her shade. She hears of the oppression of the people in the village by the local lord. She nods to herself, knowing she has arrived at yet another town which would be better off without a master.

Far across the churning waves, beneath the rising sun, an island nation gave birth to a prolific style of swordplay. These noble warriors were sworn to their masters as their protectors, willing to give up their lives to see their duty complete. Honour or death was a common ideal for these disciplined soldiers.

Swordsmen of Legend

The Samurai are legendary swordsmen who lived by a code of honour. In service to the lords of their regions, they protected their lands with their lives and enforced their law without question.

The Power Within

The Samurai draw on inner energies and an unshakeable discipline. These are the tools which the Samurai built their reputation.

Creating a Samurai

When creating a Samurai, you have to decide how they became involved in the discipline. Were they born into the tradition, being the son of a samurai or lord? Perhaps they fight in a self-taught style which they continually hone through their travels.

Warrior

A Roegadyn woman stands locked in combat with a hobgoblin. With each swing of his blade, she meets with ferocity and powerful blows. The battle rages on, the woman feeding off the ecstasy of battle, receiving succor with each blow she lands.

A man dashes into the heat of battle, his battleax swinging wildly around him. He lets out an earth shaking battle cry as he crushes the ground and all those around him with explosive force.

A lightly armored figure stands at his ally's sides. His powerful voice echoes out across the field, empowering his allies as he leads his comrades into battle, axe drawn and swinging like a tempest of steel and iron.

Like a symbol crash in an orchestra, a warrior is an explosive force which stands out in any situation. Their booming voice, raw strength and powerful strikes are their tools for victory.

Indomitable Forces

The warrior finds their roots in ancient tribes akin to barbarians. These fearless fighters are peerless in their control of a force which they call the inner beast. Warriors often come from tribal backgrounds in which they learn to nurture and control this inner animal, which in turn grants them beast like strength and ferocity. Warrior bands once roamed unsettled lands as nomads, enjoying the boons which nature offers and defending the weak from those who would do them harm.

Unending Rage

Not unlike nature itself, a Warrior has the potential to become a relentless force of destruction. Like a raging forest fire, or an all consuming tidal wave, a warrior can unleash their inner beast to harness its rage. This state of being is known as berserking.

When creating a Warrior, one must consider their origins as a warrior. Are you a descendant of the ancient tribes from which warriors are able to draw their lineage?

Perhaps you had a natural attunement to the ways of the warrior and have developed your skills without guidance.

You must also consider why you have set out on your life of adventuring? As a warrior, have you decided to seek out dangerous challenges to sharpen your skills or sate the appetite of the hungry beast inside you? Perhaps you have taken up arms in defense of your tribe, a village or a loved one? Warriors set out for any number of reasons.

White Mage

A quiet and well groomed man waves his cane around himself, drawing in magical energy from the land and calling forth it's power. With a flick of his wrist the land parted and erupted sending his foe toppling to the ground.

A gentle young woman rushes to their ally's side. Through prayer and reverence for the land, it's power is shared with her, allowing her to close the wounds of her dying friend.

A stern heavily robed figure approached the abomination, raised from the dead. Calling for shining light, she banishes the undead back to the abyss.

Serene and elegant, the White Mages commune with the world around them, borrowing power from elementals present throughout the word. They are level headed, respectful spell casters who are aware that overstepping one's bounds in the world of magic can lead to calamity, and seek to keep order within the magic world while mending the wounds of those around them.

One with the land

White Mage's strength stems from an art they refer to as conjury. Conjury calls upon the elements of earth, wind, and water and concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved. Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation, conjurers draw forth and absorb magic from their immediate surroundings. A wand or cane made from unworked wood is then utilized to focus the magical energy until it manifests as the desired spell. Versed also in magicks that restore and strengthen, White Mages are regarded as accomplished healers.

Patrons of Light

White Mages find their roots in a society which revered nature as an ally, borrowing the power of the land and elementals to soothe wounds and protect from the wicked. Over time, the White Mages of the past overused this power causing the elementals to act out and smite the land, alongside the damage wrought by the opposing Black Mages, the world fell into a dark age. Today White Mages are few and far between, practicing the forbidden art to wield the powers of nature and light to drive off evil in protection of the world again.

Creating a White Mage

When creating a White Mage one must question how they came into the art of conjury and the profession of White Mage. Did a kindly mentor take you under their wing? Did your studies of magic from the past lead you to discovering how to draw power from the world you lived in? Perhaps the elementals which inhabit the land reached out to you and their whispers guided you to the path of a White Mage. Nonetheless a White Mage's role in the world is that of a protector, soothing the wounds of those who need it most, settling enraged elementals and driving the beings who bring destruction back from hence they came.

Ode to Monsters

Regardless of approach, Blue Mages are renowned for fighting like monsters, unsettling their enemies and at times even their allies.

The Azure Soul

The Blue Mage has taken part in sacred rites to open their very soul up to monstrous energies.

If you are playing without monster links, use the following feature:

• Monstrous Stamina

• Beginning at the 20th level, when your hit points are reduced to 0 and you are not killed outright, you instead are left with 1 hit point. Then you are healed for 2d10 + your Intelligence ability modifier. This effect may only activate once, refreshing after completing a long rest.

A Dangerous Business

A Blue Mage is an curious soul who wants to harness the powers that most people in the world fear. Be it the power of a dragon's fire breath, climbing ability of a spider or the nauseating power of a Morbol, the Blue Mage is able to make use of the strengths of beasts across the land and wield them as their own. A Lore Keeper is a researcher who is fascinated by the raw power of monsters and has learned to emulate their powers through observation and study. A Fell Guard is a Blue Mage who travels around combating monsters, using their talents to keep them at bay.

Lore Keeper

You have taken on the duty of becoming a Lore Keeper, researchers who seek out and chronicle the monsters of the world to the finest details possible. In doing so you've learned to create magical bonds which allow you to borrow their power or emulate their magical effects. Be it the fiery breath of a drake or the climbing ability of a spider, you know how to cast spells which pay homage to the beasts you've dedicated yourself to.

Research Tools

Starting at 1st level, you gain proficiency in the Investigation skill. When you make ability checks in regards to researching beasts and monsters you double your proficiency bonus for the roll.

Quick Assessment

Beginning at the 6th level, as an action you are able to use Libra during combat on a creature that is within 30ft. of you.

Deep Assessment

Beginning at the 10th level, when you use the Libra action you may learn up to 3 pieces of information about the target. You may learn additional types of information as well, including:

• Damage resistances
• Damage vulnerbilities
• Damage immunities.

Ace Tutor

Beginning at the 14th level, you are able to read the subtle movements of monsters and beasts from afar. As an action you can offer advice on how to approach a beast or monster within 30ft of you, that you have used Libra on. Until your next turn, your allies have advantage on attack rolls against that creature.

Fell Guard

Fell Guard Blue Mages are adventurers who travel the world battling monsters and beasts, bathing in their essence to absorb their power and use it to further defend the world from those same beasts. The exposure to this monstrous power, sometimes referred to as fell energy, comes at a risk. Fell Guard must balance the number of monsters whose energy they tap into or else they'll lose themselves to the power. Walking the line between monster and man, these magical warriors take major risks to protect the world.

Strategic Preparations

Beginning at 1st level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy.

Choose a type of favored enemy: Aberrations, Beasts, Celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, Fiends, Giants, Monstrosities, oozes, Plants, or Undead.

You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence Checks to recall information about them.

When you gain this feature, you also learn one Language of your choice that is spoken by your favored enemies, if they speak one at all.

You choose one additional favored enemy, as well as an associated Language, at 6th level. As you gain levels, your choices should reflect the types of Monsters you have encountered on your adventures.

Extra Attack

Beginning at the 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Azure Corruption

Beginning at the 10th level, your body's physiology has been effected by the monstrous energies you have absorbed. Your body has developed a natural resistance to two damage types from the following: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, or Thunder. Additionally you gain proficiency in either Strength or Dexterity saving throws to reflect the monstrous enhancements to your body. You may not change the saving throw you've gained advantage in it through this feature.

Fell Hunt

Beginning at the 14th level, you become an expert at defeating your favoured enemies. Once on each of your turns, you can add your Intelligence modifier to the Attack roll or the damage roll of an Attack you make against one of your favored enemies. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.

Bonus Class: Dancer

The light of the room dims, and the spotlights focus on the lightly dressed woman who makes her way across the stage. With a large smile, she moves effortless along with the music, filling everyone's hearts with joy and pushing them to stay determined in whatever challenges they have.

Amid the chaos of the battlefield a maiden expertly slides in and out of combat, soothing her allies' wounds and empowering their wills to continue fighting.

Dressed in fine clothing with their trusty blade at their side, the seemingly sweet woman dances through a group of would-be assailants behind her establishment, cutting them down with ease wielding her signature scimitar.

Dancers have harnessed magics and arts, combining them into a spectacle which turns the battlefield into a show, and it is by their graceful movements which which their allies are guided to a happy conclusion.

Of Silk and Steel

Dancers draw from many different sources and backgrounds, combining them into a single package which covers a wide variety of situations. Using small weapons to pick away at their unwitting foes as their dances debilitate their marks while filling their allies with power. Though a rarity on the battle field few forget the sight of a skilled dancer at work.

Ornaments of Power

Dancers perform their magical feats not through a stave or rod, but rather specially made jewelry worn on the wrists and ankles. As they dance around the battle field they move their bodies in specific patterns to manipulate the magical power within their bodies and to gather residual magic in the environment. Once they've gathered the required magic they must keep moving to keep their spell active, channeling the magic further.

Creating a Dancer

Dancers are passionate people dedicated to their craft. Spending years practicing has gifted them with the ability to weave spells and their passions together into a gorgeous display of skill. When creating a Dancer, you must consider where they have honed their craft. Did they pick up the profession naturally, teaching themselves over long hours, or did they study beneath some kind of mentor? One must consider their motivations, does your Dancer seek fame and fortune, or do they want to bring the gifts of joy to the masses. Perhaps they are going on their journey in an attempt to hone their craft even further.

The Dancer

Quick Build

You can make a Dancer quickly by following these suggestions. First make Charisma your highest ability score, following with Dexterity. Second take the Entertainer background. Third, take the Dancing Lights, Gust, Resistance and Truestrike cantrips and the first level spells Cure Wounds and Maximillian's Earthen Grasp.

• a set of bracelets and anklets for spell casting
• a set of clothes
• a (a) costume or (b) light armour
• (a) an explorer's pack or (b) a entertainer's pack

Dance Magic

Beginning at the 1st level, as a Dancer, when you cast a Dancer spell you do not have to fulfill the verbal component of the spell. You must spend 10ft. of movement alongside your spell slot to cast a spell or to maintain a spell. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Dancer spell list.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know 4 cantrips of your choice from the Dancer spell list. You learn additional Dancer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Dancer table.

Spell Slots

The Dancer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know 2 1st-level spells of your choice from the Dancer spell list. The Spells Known column of the Dancer table shows when you learn more Dancer spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st, 2nd or 3rd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Dancer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Dancer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Dancer spells. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Dancer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a specially made bracelets, bangles or other similar jewelry as an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the player's handbook) for your Dancer spells.

Ritual Casting

You can cast any Dancer spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

Dance Style

Beginning at the 1st level, you select one dance from the following as your core style. You gain the associated benefit at all times. You cannot change this style.

Samba

When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Jig

Your base movement speed is increased by 5ft.

Waltz

While you are unarmoured, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Flourish

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of lhe second attack.

Dancer Archetype

At 2nd level, you choose a style which dictates your growth as a dancer. The exoctic mixes bladework into their dance moves, mixing martial prowess with grace, the

Dazzling Dance

Also at 2nd level, as you fight you build towards empowering your movements further. You build 1 charge of dazzling dance within your body each time you attempt to make a melee weapon attack. You can not hold more than 4 charges of Dazzling Dance in your body at once and your charges dissipate after a short or long rest. Additionally, you may take the disengage action as a bonus action.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Uncanny Dodge

Starting at the 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's damage against you.

Evasion

Beginning at the 11th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Stage Presence

Beginning at the 18th level, you've become so accustomed to performing both for crowds and amongst the chaos of the battlefield, you are rarely caught unaware of your surroundings and can protect yourself from the tricks of assailants. Attackers cannot attack you with advantage unless you are under the conditions: grappled, incapcitated, paralyzed or petrified. Additionally when knocked prone, it only costs 5ft. of movement to get back up.

Rythmic Heart

Beginning at the 20th level, when you roll initiative you gain 2 Dazzling Dance charges.

The World Stage

A Dancer who has chosen a life of adventure is an ambitious master of their art. As they travel they will learn new and innovative ways to work their passion into their journey across the land. The paragon seeks overall mastery of dance, while the Peace Bringer hopes to relieve their allies. The Exotic Wonder seeks to mix their dances with martial expertise. No matter the role a Dancer finds themselves in, you can be certain they are pouring their heart into every action they take and choice they make.

Paragon

You've devoted your training to dancing as an art form itself, staying a purist of dance. Your singular focus will allow you to reach mastery few ever hope to achieve in your discipline.

Inspiring Salsa

Beginning at the 2nd level, as a bonus action you can spend up to 2 Dazzling Dance charges to inspire an ally within 5ft. of you. Your ally may add a bonus to any attack roll, saving throw or ability check they make equal to twice the number of charges used to inspire them one time. At 10th level you may spend any number of Dazzling Dance charges in the same way.

A Step Ahead

Beginning at the 6th level, when you are the target of a weapon roll attack, as a reaction you may spend up to all of your Dazzling Dance charges to increase your AC by a number equal to the charges spent. This will last until the start of your next turn.

Unshakable

Beginning at the 10th level, when you make a concentration check you may spend a Dazzling Dance charge to roll with advantage.

Forte Fusion

Beginning at the 14th level, you have learned how to mix known dances into new exciting combinations. You are able to cast a second spell which requires concentration without ending the first. To do so you use your action to spend 1 Dazzling Dance charge to cast the second spell alongside the required spell slot. Each turn you concentrate on the second spell, you must use your action to spend another Dazzling Dance charge and spend 10ft. of movement for each spell.

Peace Bringer

You've learned to effectively wield restorative spells while dancing across the battle field. Offering relief and joy in even the worst battle fields.

Succor Stepping

Starting at 2nd level, your healing spells are more effective. Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, if you spend 1 Dazzling Dance charge the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level.

Refreshing Round

Beginning at the 6th level, you may spend a Dazzling Dance charge to cause the healing spells you cast on others heal you as well. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points to a creature other than you, you regain hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level.

Safe Haven Hop

Beginning at the 10th level, you may select Aura of Life, Aura of Purity or Aura of Vitality and cast it without spending a spell slot. You may do so a number of times equal to half your spell casting modifier rounded down, these uses refresh after completing a long rest.

The Solace Swing

Beginning at the 14th level, you may spend a Dazzling Dance charge when you cast a healing spell. When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell, you instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a creature, you restore 12.

Exotic Wonder

You've trained in an exotic dancing style which incorporates weapons into your routines. You mix martial knowledge with graceful steps to create an awe inspiring dance which devestates your foes.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you take the Exotic archetype you gain proficiency with scimitars and light armour.

Lashing Swing

Beginning at the 2nd level, as a bonus action you may spend any number of Dazzling Dance charges and add that number as a bonus to your next melee weapon attack roll.

Double Step

Beginning at the 6th level, prior to making a melee weapon attack on your turn, you may spend 1 Dazzling Dance charge to make two melee weapon attacks when taking the attack action.

Flawless Flow

Beginning at the 10th level, you may make a melee weapon attack as a bonus action after casting a spell.

Lamia Bite

Beginning at the 14th level, you may spend 4 Dazzling Dance charges prior to making a weapon attack. Doing so increases the critical hit range of your attack rolls for the remainder of the turn, lowering the threshold by 4.

Appendix E: Monster Links

From here on is a collection of example monster links. The guidelines I intended for monster links are as follows:

• Common and Uncommon monsters and beasts in your world are associated with spells leveled 1 through 5.
• Rare and Legendary creatures, along with generally just powerful beasts would be associated with spells leveled 6 through 9.
• Links for Common and Uncommon monsters have two spells from their range associated with them while links for rare, legendary and powerful creatures have one spell from their suggested spell level range attached to them, and to the DM's discretion a second spell from the lower tier.
• Following these guidelines, the Blue Mage will know approximately 18 spells when they have all 10 monster links equipped.

I have provided a mix of monster links that are intended for use for the earlier levels of play, covering a few monster options for spell levels 1 through 5.
