Barbarian

Path of the Primalist

Some barbarians are able to be so overcome with rage, that connection to magic beyond the physical world is made. This is the way of the Primalist. Through raw emotion and rage, these barbarians are able to call forth powerful magic to aid them and bolster their abilities in battle.

These barbarians learn very few spells, but are able to cast them at full power.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you can channel your emotions to cast spells. See chapter 10 for general rules of spellcasting.

Cantrips. You know two cantrips of your choice from the druid spell list. When you reach 10th level, you learn an additional cantrip of your choice.

Spell Slots The Path of the Primalist table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows that the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your barbarian spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher At 3rd level, you know one 1st-level spell druid spell of your choice. You must choose from transmutation or evocation spells on the druid list.

The Spells Known column of the Primalist Table shows when you learn more spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new spell, which can be 1st or 2nd level.

Spellcasting Ability

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

Mindfrenzy

Also at 3rd level, while raging, you have resistance to psychic damage. Your rage blocks out all other emotions and thoughts, shielding your mind granting you advantage to saving throws against spells like Detect Thoughts, Command, Dominate Person, and other mind affecting magic.

Rageheart

Beginning at 6th level, you can cast a spell while in rage. Whenever a spell is cast using this feature, you can add your Strength modifier instead of your Constition modifier when determining saving throw DC or spell attack for the spell you cast in this way. You also roll 1 additional die for any spell that requires it. This ends your rage.

Iresight

When you reach 10th level, you can spend one of your daily uses of rage to turn your focus inward, vanish from your current plane of existence, and for 1 minute you appear in the Ethereal plane.

While on the Ethereal Plane, you can see and hear the plane you originated from, which is cast in shades of gray, and you can’t see anything there more than 60 feet away. You can only affect and be affected by other creatures on the Ethereal Plane. Creatures that aren’t there can’t perceive you or interact with you, unless they have the ability to do so.

Stormfury

Starting at 14th level, you can release all your pent up raw fury at once to unleash a terrifying storm of massive energy on your foes. When you end your rage early as an action, all creatures within 20 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 8d6 force damage and is knocked prone, or half as much damage on a successful save.

At the end of your turn, you gain one level of exhaustion.

Barbarian

Path of the Warboss

The half-orc that chooses the Path of the Warboss is the strongest, and the meanest of his tribe. More than just an exceedingly powerful warrior fueled by a thirst for battle, the Warboss exudes control over the battlefield through sheer might. A Warboss will usually rise to power in his tribe through sheer brute force. Once in position as the leader of a tribe, he holds dominion over all he surveys, and will use a heavy hand against anyone who says or thinks different.

Restriction: Half-Orcs Only

Only half-orcs can follow the Path of the Warboss. The warboss is a rare title among a unique few orc clans.

Your DM can lift this restriction to better suit the campaign.

Biggest and Baddest

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, your rage surges through your muscles causing you to grow to an immensely terrifying sight. While you are raging, you begin to grow in size and gain the following benefits:

• Double in all dimensions, and weight is multiplied by four.
• Increase size catagory by one - from Medium to Large.
• Your weapons also grow in size to match. While these weapons are enlarged, attacks with them deal 1d4 extra damage.

When your rage ends, you return to normal size.

Warlord's Favor

At 6th level, your allies are bolstered by your strength. Whenever an ally you can see within 30 feet makes a Strength saving throw or Strength check, you can use your reaction to give them advantage on the roll.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier. You regain all expended uses of this feature when you complete a long rest.

Toughest and Meanest

When you reach 10th level, while raging, if a magical effect would force you to make a saving throw, you automatically succeed. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Unbridled Savagery

Starting at 14th level, The sight of turmoil and destruction on the battlefield fills you with glee. Whenever you reduces a creature to 0 hit points, or score a critical hit, each enemy within 20 feet that can see you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equals 8 + your proficency bonus + your Strength bonus) or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

This effect ends if the creature ends its turn out of line of sight or more than 60 feet away from you.

Path of the Dervish

Dervish are dangerously fierce and lightning fast warriors who hail from the deserts of the Western Wastelands or the harsh rocky plains of the Silver Steppes. They move across the battlefield cutting down their enemies like a searing wind.

Death Grip

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you treat weapons that don't have the heavy property as light weapons.

Additionally, if you are wielding two weapons while raging, whenever you take the Attack action you may make one single additional attack. You do not add your ability modifier to the damage roll of this attack. You receive your bonus Rage Damage even when you make a melee weapon attack using Dexterity.

Cutting Wind

At 6th level, whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points or score a critical hit, you can make another attack against a creature you can reach.

Desert Gale

When you reach 10th level, you learn to use the power of the wind in a number of different ways. As an action, you can cast warding wind. You can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

Blood Sirocco

Starting at 14th level, you engage in a dance of death, lashing out at all enemies in an area around you. When you take the attack action, you can make melee weapon attacks against any creature within 10 feet of you. Until the beginning of your next turn, opportunity attacks against you are made with disadvantage.

Bard

Bard: College of Faith

Bards who follow the College of Divinity usually head the choirs of their universities and churches, or take up the power of hymnals to help inspire their fellow man down a path of righteousness.

Mysteries of Faith

When you join the College of Divinity at 3rd level, your healing spells and abilities are infused with divine power. Whenever you would roll a 1 or a 2 for a spell or ability to restore hit points, you reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2.

Hymn of Soothing

Also at 3rd level, your bardic inspiration begins to soothe the soul. Whenever you or a friendly creature uses your bardic inspiration die, they gain temporary hit points equal to the number rolled on the die + your Charisma modifier.

Psalm of Renewal

Beginning at 6th level, whenever you use your Song of Rest feature, you can end either one disease or one condition afflicting you or a single friendly creature who can hear your performance. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned.

Conviction of Peace

Starting at 14th level, you call to end violence in the name of a higher power, and preach love instead. Whenever an enemy creature within 30 feet targets you or an ally with an attack or harmful spell, you can use your reaction to intervene. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw, or lose the attack or spell. This spell doesn’t protect the warded creature from area effects, such as the explosion of a fireball.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.

Bard: College of the Phoenix

Bards who follow the College of the Phoenix all share similar qualities: courageous, chivalrous, and determination. They travel the world telling tales of the Phoenix, and patterning their lives after their namesake. Always the first to fight, and the last to give up, College of the Phoenix bards will never let their allies down, and are always a welcome addition on the battlefield.

Fire Dancer

When you join the College of the Phoenix at 3rd level, while not wearing armor or wielding a shield you gain the following benefits:

• You gain proficiency with martial weapons

• Your movement speed is increased by 10 feet.

• Your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifer + your Charisma modifier.

Blaze of Glory

Beginning at 6th level, whenever a friendly creature hits an enemy with a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to have that creature roll an additional weapon die. The damage from the additional die is treated as fire damage.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain all uses of this feature when you finish a short or long rest.

Heat of Battle

Starting at 14th level, you and friendly creatures can expend your Bardic Inspiration die to make a single weapon attack as a bonus action.

Cleric

Chaos Domain

Clerics that choose Chaos as their domain worship gods of different walks. Some worship Mystra, but believe that a mortal understanding of magic is incomplete. Some worship gods of trickery and deceit, believing that fully trusting in the divine can be a mistake. Regardless of who they worship, they share a belief that magic is all-powerful, and to handle it carelessly comes with many repercussions.

Channel Divinity: Fate's Gambit

Beginning at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to alter fate itself. Whenever any creature within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check, roll a D20 and use your result instead. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails.

Channel Divinity: Invoke Chaos

Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to tap into the raw power of Chaos, trusting your relationship with the Weave.

As an action, roll twice on the Wild Magic Surge Table (PHB, Page 104) and choose one of the results to create a random magical effect centered on a point you can see within 60 feet. If the effect would target the caster, it targets whoever is standing in that space. If there is no target, it targets you.

Chaotic Shift

At 8th level, you gain the ability to modify magic with the power of chaos. Once on each of your turns when you make an attack, you deal an extra 1d8 damage of a random type. Roll on the Chaotic Surge table to determine what damage type the additional damage is. When you reach 14th level, deal an extra 1d8 damage of a random type.

Druid

Circle of the Fey

The Circle of the Fey druids walk both the material plane, and the twilight world of the Feywild. Druids of this circle have spent any amount of time in the Plane of Faerie, and as such have developed a deep connection to its realm, and its magic.

Heart of the Fey

Fighter

Fighter: Dragoon

Fighters who take the Dragoon archetype model themselves after the greatest creatures in the land, the almighty dragon.

Flight of the Dragons

When you take this archetype at 3rd level, you can use your action to gain a fly speed of 15 feet until the beginning of your next turn. This increases to 30 feet at 10th level, and 60 feet at 18th level. When you use this feature, you can use your bonus action to make a single attack.

Frightening Gaze

At 7th level, you can use your action to frighten someone with your terrifying power. When you do so, choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you.

Way of the Wukong

Monks who choose the way of the Wukong are usually a little more chaotic than their peers, using their powers to serve more personal goals. They understand their strength, and use it in ways to make sure others recognize their power as well.

Ranger

Dreadstalker

From the dark underbrush of the the jungles to the muck and mire of the Sorrowmoor Swamps, there are tales of hunters who not only use superior tactics and intimate knowledge of the terrain to track down their targets, but specialize in fear to take down their prey.

Maverick

Some rangers focus on training their skills in marksmanship to hunt so they can feed their families, while others do it to defend their own tribes. Others though, do it for the attention.

Or they fly on the backs of their giant eagles, protecting the floating chain of vistas known as the Lambent Isles from wyvern-riders and demons that would seek to steal ancient powers hidden there.

Revolutionary

The revolutionary fights for the people against forces of tyranny. Most are selfless, and will dedicate their lives to the cause they deem righteous at any cost. Because of this, they tend to garner fanatical devotion from followers.

Born leaders, and masters at overthrowing corrupt governments with guerilla tactics, the revolutionary is as comfortable planning every step of a revolution in a secret meeting room with fellow freedom fighters, as he is on the frontlines of protests or executing unsavory deeds and acts of sedition under the cover of night.

Voice of the People

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, your words and the conviction in your voice motivates and ignites the passion of your allies. As an action, you can designate a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see. Doing so gives any friendly creature that can hear you within 5 feet of the target advantage on attack rolls against that creature until the end of your next turn.

Words of the Revolution

Starting at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in History, and Performance, and you learn two additional languages of your choice.

Additionally, you can spend 10 minutes talking to your companions, exploring new ideas and new ways of thinking. When you do so, choose up to six friendly creatures (which can include yourself) within 30 feet of you who can see or hear you and who can understand you. Each creature gains advantage on their next Wisdom or Intelligence saving throw. A creature can't gain the benefit of this feat again until it has finished a short or long rest.

Freedom Fighters

Starting at 9th level, you can recruit members of your cause to help you on any mission you embark on. You must spend 1 hour reaching out through your network to find someone loyal to your cause. When you complete the hour, you recruit a freedom fighter to your cause who is loyal to you and will do whatever you say (use the Thug monster stat block).

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to verbally command any creature recruited with this feature if the creature is within 60 feet of you and can hear you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is done.

You can recruit an additional freedom fighter at 13th level, and two more (maximum 4) at 17th level.

One For All

Beginning at 13th level, whenever a friendly creature within 5 feet of you is hit by a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to halve the damage. Every man who fights for freedom, is worth a thousand who would enslave others.

Call to Action

Starting at 17th level, you recognize there is a time for words, and there is a time for violence as you call your allies to action.

As an action, a number of allies equal to your Charisma modifier within 60 feet of you that can hear you gain an additional +10 movement speed until the end of their next turn, and gain advantage on their next attack.

You cannot use this ability again until you finish a long rest.

Ruffian

Rogues who choose the ruffian lifestyle are a little rougher around the edges than their counterparts. Brutes and bullies, thugs and troublemakers, the ruffian uses his strength and rowdiness to achieve his goals.

Heavy Hands

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Athletics if you don't already have it and you can use your Sneak Attack with any weapon as long as it doesn't have the two-handed or heavy property.

Bullying Tactics

Starting at 3rd level, you learn a number of techniques to overpower and rough up your enemies. Whenever you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can make an attempt to grapple.

Additionally, whenever you successfully shove a creature, you can push them up to 10 feet away or force them to drop an item they are holding that you choose. The object lands at its feet.

Aggressive Negotiation

Full Nelson

Beginning at 13th level, whenever you have an enemy creature grappled, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on any melee attack roll the creature makes until the beginning of your next turn.

Additionally, any friendly creatures within 5 ft of you have advantage on attacks against the grappled creature until the beginning of your next turn.

Fighting Dirty

Starting at 17th level, you learn dirty fighting techniques against surprised enemies. Whenever you deal Sneak Attack damage to an enemy creature, you can choose to cause one of the following effects to the target:

• Enemy creature must make a Constitution saving throw or becomes blinded or deafened for 1 round.
• Enemy creature must make a Wisdom saving throw or becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. This condition ends if they take damage, or move more than 30 feet away from you.
• Enemy creature must make a Strength saving throw or is pushed up to 5 feet away and knocked prone.

The saving throw for this ability is calculated as follows:

Saving Throw DC: 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier.

Also at 3rd level, you can use your bonus action to teleport to a spot you can see that is no further than up to half your movement speed. Also, at the end of each of your turns, you can move yourself ahead in the initiative order by 1 if you are not first.

Post Recollection

Starting at 9th level, by touching and examining an object or person for 1 minute, you remember all the details about it that you learned in the future, and reflect about the object or creature’s past.

Object. If it is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them, whether it requires attunement to use, and how many charges it has, if any. You learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are. If the item was created by a spell, you learn which spell created it.

Creature. If you instead touch a creature, you learn what spells, if any, are currently affecting it. In addition, you learn the following traits of the creature:

• Name
• AC
• HP
• True nature if they are currently under the effects of an illusion spell or polymorph spell.

Future Presence

Beginning at 13th level, you remember to plan for the past accordingly, and prepare any objects you would need for a given situation. As an action, you can create an inanimate, nonmagical object such as a rope, a key, or a chair - it must be no larger than a 5ft cube.

If you use this feature more than once before completing a long rest, you must make a DC13 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, you take 6d6 psychic damage, and gain 1 level of exhaustion. Each subsequent use of this feature before completing a long rest increases the DC by 1.

Temporal Recall

At 17th level, you are able to jump back into your own past at your leisure. As an action, you teleport to the space you were at the beginning of your previous turn. Any conditions you are currently afflicted by are removed, and your hit point total is returned to what it was at the beginning of your previous turn. You can touch a willing creature when you use this feature, and they appear within 5 ft of you at the end of your turn.

If you touch an unwilling creature while using this feature, that creature must make a Constitution saving throw (DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). On a failed save, they appear within 5 ft of you at the end of your turn, and take 6d6 psychic damage, otherwise they are unaffected.

A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a DC 10 Dexterity check to extinguish the flames.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Class: Invoker

Bare-foot and covered in dirt and calluses, a dwarf continues an intricate dance in a circle of fire finishing the last steps of an hour long ritual. Tired to the point of exhaustion, the incantation is complete as horned beast covered in flames emerges from the fire, kneeling before its new master.

Countless tomes open and stacked before her, a half-elf frantically flips back and forth between pages trying to figure out the last part to her newest invocation. All around her in her study, wisps of air tend to a million different chores ina controlled chaos of frantic study.

Standing before a castle, its ramparts lined with soldiers ready to defend their home to the death, a lone dragonborn stands before them with nothing but a handful of mud contrasting his bright and silvery robes. With a whisper, his eyes flare with a bright light and each soldier looks on in horror as the very ground they stand upon begins to tremble and quake. The elements of the earth itself have seemed to be turned against them, and all hope of living to see the next day vanishes right before their eyes.

Invokers are powerful wizards who have become masters in the arts of conjuration and summoning.

An uncontrolled elemental can't be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it.

Dominion of Power

Manual of Augury

Beginning at 3rd level, you receive a spellbook with classic magical rituals. Choose one spell for which you have a spell slot for that has the ritual tag from any class's spell list. This spell, and any other you add to this book don't count against the number of spells you know. With your spellbook in hand, you can cast the chosen spells as rituals. You can't cast the spells except as rituals, unless you've learned themy by some other means. You can also cast an invoker spell you know as a ritual if it has the ritual tag.

Half-Orc Variant: Pigmen

Not all Half-Orcs are of the same tribe, and some have physical traits that highlight how far removed half-orc tribes have been from each other since the beginning of time. The Dungeon Master may permit the following variant for your half-orc.

Appearance. Pigmen have a slightly different appearance than traditional half-orcs. Their color ranges anywhere from light green to pale pink or even sometimes dark grey. These are just a few of the differences: slightly shorter and stockier; higher stub-like noses; more pronounced tusks; light fur; ears that point slightly downward.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.

Age. Pigmen mature a little faster than humans, reaching adulthood around age 14. They age noticeably faster and rarely live longer than 75 years.

Alignment. Pigmen inherit a tendency toward chaos from their orc parents and are not strongly inclined toward good. Pigmen raised among orcs and willing to live out their lives among them are usually evil.

Size. Pigmen are somewhat shorter and even bulkier than traditional half-orcs, and they range from 4 to 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Menacing. You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Savage Endurance. Whenever you roll a death saving throw and succeed, you regain consciousness and a number of hit points equal 1 Hit Die plus your Constitution bonus (minimum 1). You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Relentless Charge. If you move at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then it with a weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon's damage dice one additional time and add that to the total.

Languages. You can speak, Common and Orc. Orc is a harsh, grating language with hard consonants. It has no script of its own but is written in the Dwarvish script.

Halfling Variant: Riverfolk

As a riverfolk halfling, your life was most likely spent primarily as a fisher, and you're accustomed to the rigorous daily labor of life on the water. Riverfolk have a reputation amongst other halflings as being a little more standoffish or even rude by some measures. Although they don't spend as much time enjoying life's pleasures, they can be just as friendly and inviting as any lightfoot or stout.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.

Age. A halfling reaches adulthood at the age of 20 and generally lives into the middle of his or her second century.

Alignment. Although most halflings fall on the good side of morality, riverfolk tend to stay neutral when it comes to matters that don't directly affect them. They are usually very independent and self-sufficient.

Size. On average riverfolk average about 3 to 4 feet tall and weigh about 60 pounds. Your size is Small.

Speed. Your base waling speed is 25 feet.

Hard Work. Once per day, when you fail an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die and use the new roll. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Surefooted You gain advantage on saving throws to avoid being knocked prone.

Halfling Nimbleness You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours.

Expert Diver. You can hold your breath three times longer than normal.

Languages.You can speak, read, and write Common and Halfling. The Halfling language isn't secret, but halflings are loath to share it with others. They write very little, so they don't have a rich body of literature. Their oral tradition, however, is very strong. Almost all halflings speak Common to converse with the people in whose lands they dwell or through which they are travelling.
