One Piece 5e

Preface

This began as a simple passion project by one guy who thought to himself "hey, it'd be kinda cool to play dungeons and dragons in the world of One Piece. I wonder if that's possible?" and then just went along with it. What started out as a simple rework of a few classes and some rewording of features and feats to better fit in the designated setting eventually turned into almost a hundred pages of homebrew.

Why dungeons and dragons, of all systems? Accessibility more so than anything, 5th edition is a system that is ever so easy to pick up and enjoy, while still having enough room for creative veterans to play around for years. This document provides all the necessary additions and revisions to the base system to seamlessly tie it into the world of Eiichiro Oda's brainchild, and dungeon masters should find everything they need in order to run games in the setting of One Piece.

Naturally, a lot of work and passion has been put into this project, but it's most likely always going to remain a work in progress as ideas form and changes are to be made. Whoever's reading this, hope you enjoy the contents as much as the author did enjoy writing this document, and let it urge you to set sail for the Grand Line!

Chapter 1: Races

The world of One Piece is home to a myriad of unique humanoid races that make their home on the four seas and beyond. Life thrives from the bottom of the ocean beneath the Red Line to far above the clouds in the flying lands of Skypiea, each housing a civilization with a rich history and and uncertain futures.

With a world consisting of scattered islands dotting an endless ocean, it is no strange occurrence that many are drawn to a life of adventure, setting sail into the horizon as pirates and freedom-seekers. Though very different in shape and story, one thing all races of the world have in common is the call to adventure that rings within the hearts of the select few, regardless of their origins.

Walking the streets of a port town in the Grand Line, one could sometimes find more than humans in the crowd if one just knows where to look for them. The blue-tinted skin of a stout fishman as he hauls a massive chest of goods to the market; the skulking shadow of a cat mink as she curiously explores the alleys and corners of this strange world; the sharp, intimidating tattoos of a shandian sky islander that cast wary glances at the crowd around him.

Languages

The world of One Piece is unique in that all creatures and races share the same language.

Languages are thus not taken into consideration in this system, with the exception of poneglyphs, which is a written language of which knowledge has long since been lost, save for very few dedicated individuals.

Performing in the town square is a band of entertainers, all part of the long-arm tribe, using their elongated limbs to perform acts of acrobatics and dexterity to the cheer of a crowd. A group of long-leg humans push their way to the front of the crowd, already towering over it, intent on starting some trouble. And in the harbor, a curious mermaid peeks her head above the water for but a moment, starry eyes gazing upon the moored ships and colourful flags, before she dives back beneath the waves before anyone spots her.

Choosing a Race

While humans are the most common by a long shot to be found in the world, they still live side-by-side with other races even if they aren't always aware of it. Even then, human tribes are so diverse that distinctions between them are more than simply cultural. Whatever choice you make, your character remains a part of the living breathing, world.

The call to adventure can ring true in the heart of any creature in the world, however some races produce more adventurers than others. Humans and fishmen are more likely to go to sea as pirates in search of dreams, treasure or ambition but your choice of race should not be hindered by conventions. Minks and merfolk are curious by nature, and sky islanders are not faint of heart either, so even if they typically do not fly a jolly roger there's nothing stopping them from doing so.

Human

By far the most numerous of all races are the humans. Inhabiting the entire world from the a hundred and seventy kingdoms to the halls of Marie Geoise upon the Red Line, the humans have spread all across the four seas.

Few humans are defined by their race, however. A varied kind from every echelon of society, one would find it difficult to place a blanket terms on humans as a whole. They can be fearless heroes, intrepid adventurers, craven villains despicable tyrants, pirates seeking freedom or marine soldiers seeking order. The only surefire way to know where a human's heart lies is to look at the flag she flies, which can be as manifold as the stars upon the night sky.

Restless Hearts

Among all the races, humans are the most likely to set off on the sea in search of adventure, riches, purpose or power. Even considering their vast majority in the world, there is still something within their hearts that calls them to the sea.

Because of this, many different tribes of humans have appeared all over the world, each with their own distinct culture and quirks. Each single island is more like a country in its own right with customs and history unique to the people living there since centuries back.

History of Conflict

Among the one hundred and seventy kingdoms that make up the world government, all but one is a human kingdom giving the human race an indiscriminate claim to being the dominant race in the world. Adding to that, they are also the most technologically advanced and organized race, giving them a massive geopolitical edge in the state of the world.

However, human history is one of strife and conflict, both amongst themselves and against other races. Their society is heavily fractured by deep-seated socioeconomical inequalities; the world nobles can make any demands with the world government's full support, while countries who cannot pay the taxes are left at the mercy of pirates and marauders. While life on the sea is a harsh one, it is at the very least an equal existence for all who travel upon it.

Fishman

Ten times stronger than the common man and undisputed monarchs of the sea, the fishmen of the world oceans were for the longest time the boogeymen of sailors everywhere. Tall and proud warriors of the deep, the fishmen share a troubled history of racial discrimination and slavery at the hands of humans, scars that even centuries of peace with the surface world has yet to completely mend.

A lot of the prejudice against them stem from how they differ from humans, looking monstrous to the common man because of their half-fish, half-human physiology, but also because of their renowned physical superiority and ability to fight as well on land as in water.

Despite their fearsome reputation as pirates and marauders, the fishmen are not a simple or militaristic race of savages that many humans believe them to be. A fishman dedicated to a crew or a cause tends to be loyal to a fault, willing to fight to the bitter end for what they believe in.

A history of strife

For centuries, the fishmen were considered little more than any other monster in the oceans by the humans and were treated accordingly, only welcome on the surface world as slaves if they weren't killed on sight. Eventually, the world government realized the benefits of peace between the races and made several attempts to mend the relationship between humans, fishmen and merfolk. Thanks in part to the actions of the fishman pirate Fisher Tiger and the merfolk queen Otohime, a peaceful coexistance was finally reached after decades of negotiations.

However, the old ways still rings loudly in the ears of both humans and fishmen alike, who have had a hard time leaving the past behind. Many humans, especially nobles, still consider fishmen to be nothing but monsters and fish. Conversely, many fishmen subscribe to the notion that their superior strength and adaptability means they should be ruling over humans, who they consider weak and cowardly.

Even so, a strained peace still aided in softening the animosity between the races, and more fishmen and humans alike are beginning to wake up to the idea of co-existance, slowly beginning to see eachother as kin rather than enemies.

Champions of the Sea

In water, fishmen are second to none. Already on land a fishman can boast the strength of ten common humans, and this strength is only amplified by their amphibious nature. A fishman possesses both the gills of a fish and the respiratory system of a human, allowing them to breath air and water without issue, while dorsal fins and webbed hands and feet allow them to move unhindered in water.

In addition to these boons, fishmen have a unique form of martial arts known as Fishman Karate, which emphasizes the use of water to their advantage. It's a martial art that grows even more potent while near or submerged in water. This unique fighting style is only taught at certain dojos on fishman island and has a near mythical reputation that reaches even the surface world above.

Fishman Traits

As a fishman, you have the following traits.

Ability Score Increase. One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and another one increases by 1. Alternatively, three ability scores of your choice increase by 1.

Age. Fishmen reach adulthood in their late teens and live as long as humans.

Alignment. Fishmen display extremes on the moral scales, with good-aligned fishmen typically being chaotic good with a great emphasis on personal freedom, while evil-aligned fishmen tend towards lawful evil with the ideals that their superior physique means they should rule over other races.

Size. Fishmen vary greatly in size and typically stand taller than humans at 7-8 feet up to 15 feet. Your size is medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet, and you have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.

Aquatic Adaption. You can breathe air and water. You have advantage on all Strength (Athletic) ability checks made while in water.

Darkvision. Accustomed to the dark ocean floors where light is scarce, you have darkvision out to 60 feet and can see in dim light as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Speech of the Sea. You can communicate simple ideas and words to creatures with a natural swimming speed that are of large size or smaller. Most sealife lack the ability to form or understand complicated messages, but can communicate simple expressions such as fear, hunger or joy.

Subraces. Choose between sharptooth, stronghide or multipod.

Sharptooth

Sharptooth fishmen typically have the physiological traits of a predator, such as a shark or killer whale. They use their sharp teeth or spines to tear enemies asunder if provoked.

Frightening. You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Natural Weapons. You have sharp claws, teeth or spines that can be used as weapons. Your unarmed strikes deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier instead of the normal damage.

Stronghide

Stronghide fishmen develop powerful bodies that further amplify their innate strength and endurance, allowing them to become remarkable martial artists and fighters.

Natural Athlete. You have proficiency in the Athletics skill.

Strong Body. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

Multipod

Multipod fishmen are recognizable by their extra arms, possessing as many as eight functioning limbs.

Manual Agility. You have proficiency in the Sleight of Hand skill.

Extra Arms. You have up to four additional arms. Each arm can hold a single item that can fit in one hand. When engaged in two-weapon fighting, you can still only make one attack as a bonus action. You cannot engage in two-weapon fighting while wielding a weapon with the two-handed property. Additionally, you can only benefit from one equipped shield even if you are wielding multiple shields.

Merfolk

Merfolk are humanoid creatures with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a marine creature, typically a fish or an octopus. Unlike fishmen, the human side of merfolk does not necessarily bear any piscine features, though it is not unheard of for some merfolk to have more marine traits such as fins or webbed fingers.

Related to the fishmen, merfolk make their home beneath the Red Line on fishman island. The two races exist in harmony, sharing a similar difficult history with the surface world and the races that inhabit it. But whereas fishmen are feared and infamous for being savages, merfolk have a much more favorable reputation among humans as beings of extreme beauty. Sadly, this reputation only serves to make them more desirable as slaves on the underworld markets, leading to many cases of abductions at the hands of pirates.

Despite these unfortunate circumstances, merfolk have remained firmly open-minded towards all other races, including humans. Kind-hearted and gregarious to a fault, merfolk have a reputation for saving drowning sailors from the depths only to disappear moments afterwards.

Deep Sea Monarchs

While not as physically imposing or martially bent as fishmen, merfolk have a keen eye for politics and diplomacy, being the current rulers of Fishman Island under King Neptune. While the common fishman has the advantage in a one on one fight, the merfolk's ability to organize and manage a standing army makes them the obvious figureheads in politics with the surface world.

Merfolk are very hospitable and welcoming to travelers that reach Fishman Island, which is a common occurance as it's the only way to travel from Paradise to the New World. As long as visitors come in peace and with no ill intent, the merfolk will graciously host any traveler during their stay whether they are pirates or marine soldiers.

While peaceful, merfolk are not naive however. If provoked, merfolk will respond in kind if their hands are forced, many of their soldiers and warriors having mastered a unique form of Fishman Karate unique to their kind. Being the fastest swimmers of all intelligent races, coupled with their organized military, make merfolk a force to be reckoned with even when battle is at hand.

Gregarious Helpers

Merfolk delight in song, music and all forms of community-based entertainment. Their's is a tight-knit community that lacks social stigma or class differences, each individual treated as a cherished part of the community as long as they are honest and kind-hearted in turn.

Merfolk and fishmen typically consider themselves kin of eachother and rarely make a difference between the two. Interbreeding between the two races has an equal chance of producing either a merfolk or fishman child, and most carry genes from both species with them resulting in a sense of unity and equality between the two races.

Merfolk may still have some reservations about humans, but these prejudices typically stem from fear or ignorance, which can usually be remedied through nothing but a few minutes of pleasant conversation. Most merfolk would much rather make a new friend rather than an enemy, and typically treat strangers as potential friends or allies with more open-mindedness than most other species.

Merfolk's friendly and approachable nature isn't limited only to other sapient beings. All mermaids can communicate and speak with fish, having a much easier time doing so than even fishmen. They can use this ability to call fish to their aid, which can be used for scouting or to gather information on the surrounding waters.

Mink

The mysterious mink tribe is a race of fur-covered, anthropomorphic humanoids from the "phantom island" of Zou in the New World, a moving island situated atop the back of an ancient, millenium old elephant known as Zunesha. Because of its unique location, Zou is impossible to find with a logpose, hiding the minks away from the eyes of the world as a result. While most humans go their entire lives without ever seeing a mink, the rumours of Zou's formidable sentinels carry far and wide across the new world, telling tales of the minks' mythical ability to generate electricity and transform into vicious beasts beneath the light of the full moon.

Close-knit Community

The island of Zou rests on the back of a giant, millenia-old elephant known as Zunesha. Reaching the island atop this giant is a difficult task, leading to rumours and hearsay telling that minks are isolationist and reclusive. Truthfully however, despite having been hunted for slaves by human pirates in the past, minks are exceptionally welcoming and hospitable to all manners of visitors that come in good faith to their island.

Minks have a tight-knit community on their island, making no difference between themselves regardless of a mink's features. They show affection to eachother through physical contact or acts of generosity, having next to no concept of personal space even between relative strangers. "Garchu", a common practice among minks, consists of rubbing their temple or cheek against eachother, signifying a greeting or act of gratitude.

Each individual mink takes after a specific fur-covered mammalian creature, and recognize differences in their own kin by referring to canine minks as such, for example. However, mink do not differentiate between eachother, and carnivorous minks live side by side with herbivorous minks. Mink society places a stigma on eating animals with fur, and as such their diet primarily consists of reptlies, fish and greens found on the island of Zou.

Moonlit Warriors

All minks tend to be stronger than normal humans, possessing formidable physical abilities typical to their animalistic side, such as strong legs that can scale trees in a single leap, or powerful muscles for physical labor. Their abilities do not remarkably detoriate with age, and this combined with an effective metabolism and recovery rate makes them formidable fighters in battle.

Adding to that, minks have two additional abilities that serve to differentiate them from humans: Electro, the ability to generate powerful electrical charges through their fur, and Sulong, the ability to transform into an even more powerful form while under the light of the full moon.

Sulong is the most feared ability of the minks, known to transform them into unstoppable, rampaging beasts. Only a few minks master this ability, as loss of control can result in the death of not just their enemies, but their allies and even themselves as well. While transformed, a mink grows increasingly ferocious as their fur grows out, their muscles tense and their claws extend, becoming a frightful sight to behold by their enemies.

Mink Traits

As a mink, you have the following traits.

Ability Score Increase. One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and another one increases by 1. Alternatively, three ability scores of your choice increase by 1.

Age. Minks reach adulthood in their late teens and live as long as humans.

Size. Minks vary greatly in size due to their animal heritage, but typically are comparable to humans. Your size is medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

Darkvision. You are accustomed to the dark forests of Zou. You have darkvision out to 60 feet and can see in dim light as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Electro. All minks can generate electricity through their fur. Once per turn when you hit with a melee weapon attack, you can choose to deal lightning damage instead of the weapon's normal damage. When you do so, the target then cannot take reactions until the start of your next turn.

Inner Beast. You can draw upon your bestial blood to greatly boost your speed and strength for a short time. As a bonus action, you can grant yourself advantage on all Strength and Dexterity-based ability checks for 1 minute. During this time, your speed increases by 10 and when you use your Electro trait, you deal additional lightning damage equal to your level. You must finish a long rest before you can use this trait again.

If the full moon is visible when you make this transformation, you enter Sulong form for the duration, increasing both your Strength and Dexterity scores by 3. This increase can exceed an ability score of 20, but not 30. When this sulong form ends, you suffer one level of exhaustion.

Sky Islander

Far removed from the seas of blue and shores of sand lies a collection of islands resting in the balmy embrace of the clouds above, known to all as the mythical sky islands. Here, the "water" is white and made of strange, buoyant clouds that flow just like seawater, while the "earth" is made from springy, firm yet soft clouds that can support entire cities and forests.

To most residents of the "blue" sea, as the world below the clouds is known to the inhabitants of sky islands, the idea of there existing a world above in the clouds is one of fantasy and myth. Anyone who would claim otherwise is often met with ridicule and possibly even scorn, for the idea of another sea existing above them is ludicrous to most humans.

Yet anything a man can imagine is a possible reality. Hailing from these mythical islands are a tribe of humanoids known collectively as sky islanders, though they rarely refer to themselves as such. Atop the clouds lies an endless stretch of islands, kingdoms and tribes with their own unique history. The largest known society being that of Skypiea, situated ten thousand meters above the waters of Paradise in the Grand Line. Home to the skypieans and shandia, distinguishable by the small wings upon their back, it is the largest settlement found upon the clouds of the world. Only reachable through one of two ways, the long and arduous "High West" or the extremely dangerous "Geyser Stream", it is a land that see few visitors.

Dials and Cloudscapes

Daily life on the sky islands revolve around the use of dials, a type of shells left by a species of shellfish unique to the sky islands. These dials have the unique ability to store different forms of energy and matter, such as the breath dial which can store air currents or the flame dial which can store open, living fire. As long as the shell is intact, a dial can be recharged indefinitely as long as it is subjected to the energy or matter that it can store, as each dial can only handle one specific element.

Dials are more than simple tools to sky islanders. With the lack of naturally occuring earth in their world, their entire society has been shaped around the use of dials. It is used to power what is known as "wavers", unique dial-driven vehicles that can easily traverse the cloud sky; as weapons used by fighters and warriors to produce force, fire or even cutting winds; to shape clouds like wood and stone to make foundations for buildings and roads; and as simple household items such as heat dials to cook, or light dials to illuminate rooms.

Holy Vearth

Earth does not appear naturally on sky islands. Though plants can grow on the clouds they shape, they cannot germinate through them like they can in earth. As a result, sky islanders consider earth to be the most precious substance of all and has exalted it to holy status, referring to it as "vearth".

The largest mass of earth can be found in Skypiea, known as Upper Yard among the locals. For the longest time since it arrived on the sky island 400 years ago, it was the seat of the Skypiean political and religious leader known as "god". Skypieans and the original inhabitants of the island, the shandia, fought a long and tolling war over the island, which was only settled recently with the banishment of the old god Enel and his followers, the last of the birkan sky islanders.

Starting at 5th level, you can also use levitate with this trait. Once you use fog cloud or levitate with this trait, you cannot use the same creation again until you finish a long rest.

Augmented

Across the four seas and the Grand Line, scientists of every mindset and morality seek to push humankind to the next level, oftentimes at the cost of their own humanity as much as that of their subjects. To this end exist the augmented: A race of humanoids empowered with technological or biological enhancements that stand at the apex of evolution. The augmented exist as something beyond that of mere men and beasts, regardless of whether they originally wanted to or not.

Scientific Menagerie

The existence of augmented humanoids is a very recent thing, appearing as the result of scientific progress. Doctors, scientists and madmen alike have always sought to overcome the limits of the human body, and to this end they created the augmented from already living, or sometimes even dead, creatures. Augmented vary greatly in appearence, however they can typically be categorized into groups determined on their design. If an augmented had body parts replaced with machinery, they are considered a cyborg; if an augmented had body parts replaced with those of wild animals, they are considered a chimera; if the augmented was given no visual modifications and instead only returned to life from a dead state, they are considered a revived; and finally, if an augmented were only given internal or genetical modifications with no visible changes, they are considered to be an artificial human.

Made to Order

Most augmented were created for a singular purpose, such as the pacifistas created by the world government or the zombies raised by Dr. Hogback. Most augmented were normal people at first, and many had no say in their transformation into augmented. Unscrupulous scientists have no qualms about using slaves or kidnapped civilians for their experiments, and many augmented are either in service of these people or on the run from their forces. True freedom is a luxury that many augmented have never tasted in their life.

Augmented Traits

As an augmented, you have the following traits.

Ability Score Increase. One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and another one increases by 1. Alternatively, three ability scores of your choice increase by 1.

Age. Augmented are typically created from already living humanoids, and inherit the lifespan of their former life.

Alignment. Subservient augmented are almost always lawful neutral, while those that have broken free of their bonds and old masters usually gravitate towards chaotic alignments.

Size. Augmented vary greatly in size depending on the mold from which they were created. Your size is your choice of small or medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Subraces. Choose between cyborg, artifical human, chimera or revived.

Cyborg

Your body has been augmented with mechanical parts.

Fuel. You do not require food or water to sustain yourself. Instead, you require a specific kind of fuel that you designate upon creation. This fuel can be any commonly occuring substance, such as lamp oil, coal or soda, and you require half a gallon (if liquid) or half a pound (if solid) to gain enough nourishment to sustain you for one day.

Integrated Armor. The metallic parts of your body act as natural armor for you. While you're not wearing armor, your armor class is calculated as 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC.

Integrated Toolbox. You can integrate a weapon, item or a set of tools into, or remove such an item from, your body with 10 minutes of uninterrupted work, which can be done as part of short or long rest. Once integrated into your body, you can draw or stow the item as part of any action that involves its use, and you cannot be disarmed of it against your will. You can have a number of integrated weapons or tools equal to 1 + your proficiency bonus, and if you try to integrate a new item while at your maximum limit, the attempt fails.

You are the result of genetic experimentation, granting you remarkable fortitude and the ability to heal from wounds faster than others.

Accelerated Healing. When you regain hit points for any reason, including using hit dice, you regain a number of additional hit points equal to your proficiency bonus.

Natural Armor. Your skin alone is tough enough to block sword and bullets. While you're not wearing armor, your armor class is calculated as 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC.

Warborn. You are proficient with two weapons of your choice.

Chimera

Your body has been augmented with the features of a wild beast, granting you enhanced strength and senses.

Speed. You have either a flying speed of 30 feet, a swim speed of 30 feet, or a climbing speed of 30 feet. You choose which when you select this race.

Natural Weapons. You have natural weapons in the shape of sharp talons, claws, fangs, or all of the above. You can use these natural weapons to make unarmed strikes, and they deal 1d4 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier piercing damage on hit. You can choose whether to use Strength or Dexterity when attacking with these natural weapons, but must use the same ability score for both the attack and damage roll.

Revived

You have died before, but by some miraculous or accursed means you have returned to life as an undead.

Darkvision. You have darkvision out to 60 feet and can see in dim light as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Chapter 2: Classes

People who take to the seas are all individuals with the potential for greatness in their hearts. They are the wills with which history will be shaped, standing out from the crowd as heroes, villains and simple seekers of freedom. Classes as they exist in this setting represents a character's primary skillset and the abilities they rely on in order to make their dream a reality.

Arcana = Engineering

The Intelligence (Arcana) skill is replaced in this setting with the Intelligence (Engineering) skill. When the DM calls for a skill ability check involving technology, inventions or clockworks, Intelligence (Engineering) is used to determine how well they perform.

Spells = Creations

In the world of One Piece, spellcasting is nonexistent. However, in order to maintain the mechanical diversity of the playstyles presented in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, spellcasting is thematically rebranded in this system as Creativity. This is, for the most part, a simple change in terminology for the sake of immersive roleplay, however a few classes are changed as a result of this and others still are unfortunately removed completely.

Creativity (Spellcasting). The world of One Piece is full of gifted creators who can create spell-like effects through the use of gadgets and items. Spellcasting is referred to as Creativity, however its functionality is virtually the same as in standard Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

Creation (Spell). Spells and Spell Slots are referred to as Creations and Creation Slots, however their functionality are virtually the same as in standard Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

Trick (Cantrip). Cantrips are referred to as Tricks, however their functionality is virtually the same as in standard Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

Devil Fruits (Innate Spellcasting). The fantastical power of devil fruits manifest in those who consume it. These individuals gain the ability to create fantastical effects and powers, which fill a similar function to innate spellcasting found in standard Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

Creative Ability (Spellcasting Ability). Spellcasting Ability is referred to as Creative Ability, however its functionality is virtually the same in both instances and as in standard Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

Routine Usage (Ritual Casting). Ritual Casting is referred to as Routine Usage, however its functionality is virtually the same as in standard Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

• When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a bonus to the damage roll that increases as you gain levels as a barbarian, as shown in the Rage Damage column of the Barbarian table.
• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

If you are able to use creations, you can’t use them or concentrate on them while raging.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven’t attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.

Once you have raged the number of times shown for your barbarian level in the Rages column of the Barbarian table, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again.

Unarmored Defense

While you are not wearing any armor, your armor⁠ class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Reckless Attack

Starting at 2nd Level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to a⁠ttack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon a⁠ttack rolls using Strength during this turn, but atta⁠ck rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.

Danger Sense

At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren’t as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger.

You have advantage on Dexterity Saving Throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and creations. To gain this benefit, you can’t be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

Primal Path

At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage. Path of the Berserker, Path of the Blade Master, Path of the Cannoneer and Path of the Challenger are detailed at the end of the class description. Path of the Totem Warrior can be found in chapter 3 of the player's handbook, while Path of the Storm Herald can be found in chapter 1 of Xanathar's Guide to Everything.

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.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Fast Movement

Starting at 5th level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren’t wearing heavy armor.

Feral Instinct

By 7th level, your instincts are so honed that you have advantage on initiative rolls.

Additionally, if you are surprised at the beginning of combat and aren’t Incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else on that turn.

Brutal Critical

Beginning at 9th level, you can roll one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a melee attack.

This increases to two additional dice at 13th level and three additional dice at 17th level.

Relentless Rage

Starting at 11th level, your rage can keep you fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 hit points while you’re raging and don’t die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.

Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the DC resets to 10.

Persistent Rage

Beginning at 15th level, your rage is so fierce that it ends early only if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it.

Indomitable Might

Beginning at 18th level, if your total for a Strength check is less than your Strength score, you can use that score in place of the total.

Primal Champion

At 20th level, you embody the power of the wilds. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24.

Primal Paths

Rage burns in every barbarian’s heart, a furnace that drives him or her toward greatness. Different barbarians attribute their rage to different sources, however. For some, it is an internal reservoir where pain, grief, and anger are forged into a fury hard as steel. Others see it as a spiritual blessing, a gift of a totem animal. To a few, rage is a weakness unless controlled, honed like the blade they wield to cut only when they wish for it do so.

Path of the Berserker

For some barbarians, rage is a means to an end—that end being violence. The path of the berserker is a path of untrammeled fury, slick with blood. As you enter the berserker’s rage, you thrill in the chaos of battle, heedless of your own health or well-being.

Frenzied Attack

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can go into a frenzy when you rage. As a bonus action while raging, you can make one weapon attack with a weapon you are currently wielding. When you do so, you lose the damage resistances granted by your rage until the start of your next turn.

Mindless Rage

Beginning at 6th level, you can’t be charmed or frightened while raging. If you are charmed or frightened when you enter your rage, the effect is suspended for the duration of the rage.

Intimidating Glare

Beginning at 10th level, you can use your action to frighten someone with your menacing presence. When you do so, choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Strength modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. On subsequent turns, you can use a bonus action to extend the duration of this effect on the frightened creature 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.

If the creature succeeds on its saving throw, you can’t use this feature on that creature again for 24 hours.

Retaliation

Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.

Path of the Blade Master

The rage of a blade master is not the mad screams of a berserker or the primal howls of a totem warrior, but a silent, merciless and deadly intent that suffuses their blades like an aura. Blade masters draw on their rage like other barbarians, but they wield it like another blade rather than give in to it, unleashing the full power of their fury without losing sight of their goal.

While swords are the most popular weapon for these barbarians, they are not restricted to such weapons alone. The philosophy behind their power can be applied to any weapon of their choice.

Fighting Style

Starting when you chose this path at 3rd level, you learn how to properly wield your weapon of choice. Choose a fighting style from the list below. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Dueling

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.

Great Weapons Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Two-weapon Fighting

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

Masterful Hew

Also at 3rd level, you learn special techniques that leverage your mastery of martial combat mixed with your primal strength. Once on each of your turns when you hit with a weapon attack, you can perform a special attack called a hew, chosing from the list below.

Cleaving Hew

Each other creature other than yourself within 5 feet of the target creature suffer damage equal to your Strength modifier. The damage is the same type as the weapon used for the attack. If you are raging when you perform this hew, you add your rage damage bonus to this damage.

Crushing Hew

You can additionally make a grapple or shove attack against the target creature as part of the same attack. If you are raging when you perform this hew, you count as one size larger for the purpose of this grapple or shove.

Savage Hew

You can roll damage for the attack twice and choose the higher number. If you were raging when you perform this hew, you add double your rage damage bonus to this attack.

Sprinting Hew

You can move up to half your speed, either before or after making the attack. If you were raging when you perform this hew, your movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.

Steel Rending

Also at 6th level, your focused fury is honed like an edge, allowing you cut through stone and steel as if it was paper.

Your weapon attacks ignore any resistance to bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damage that isn't Haki-based, and all weapons are considered to have the siege property to you.

Tempered Rage

Beginning at 6th level, constant wrestling with your rage and fury has made you fully in control of your emotions. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. If you're already proficient, you gain proficiency in your choice of Intelligence or Charisma saving throws.

Proof of Mettle

Beginning at 10th level, you can make a statement when you deal a killing blow to a creature. While raging and you score a critical hit or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a weapon attack, you can release a surge of fear around you. Each creature of your choice within 20 feet must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) or be frightened of you for 1 minute or until it can no longer see you. A creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of its turn, ending the effect on itself on a successful save.

You can use this feature only once per rage, and must expend another use of rage to use it again.

Inexorable Prowess

Beginning at 14th level, you never have disadvantage on weapon attacks against creatures you can see while you are raging.

Path of the Cannoneer

Every ship needs someone to man the cannons, but barbarians who follow the path of the cannoneer won't settle for leaving their boomstick behind on the ship. Part genius and part madness compels them to sling the massive gun over their shoulder and bring it with them into battle.

Boomstick

At 3rd level, you've trained your body to withstand the recoil of smaller cannons. You gain proficiency with cannons and improvised weapons, and can now wield the swivel gun (Chapter 4) as a weapon, treating it as a ranged improvised weapon with the loading, heavy and two-handed properties. While wielded in your hands, a swivel gun has a misfire score of 3, reload 1 and range 60/240. You are proficient with swivel guns and add your Strength modifier to the attack and damage rolls. Additionally, you benefit from Reckless Attack when making ranged attacks with swivel guns, and can add your bonus Rage damage to these attack. Later when you gain your Brutal Critical feature, it applies to ranged attacks with swivel guns as well. When you use Reckless Attack, the misfire score of any swivel gun you're wielding triples until the start of your next turn.

You can also use the bulk of the cannon to strike at enemies in melee range. In this instance, the swivel gun acts as an improvised weapon that deals 2d6 bludgeoning damage on hit and has the heavy and two-handed properties.

The massive bulk of the cannon makes it unwieldy to use. You have disadvantage on all ranged attack rolls with the swivel gun while you're not raging.

Crazed Bravado

Beginning at 6th level, you've grown used to the burning of hot iron and thunderous boom of cannons. You gain resistance to fire damage and thunder damage, and immunity to the deafened condition.

Additionally, you maintain your rage even if you don't make an attack or take damage on your turn if you use your action to fix a swivel gun that has misfired.

Pack Mule

At 10th level, lugging a cannon around has granted you immense physical strength. You gain the following benefits.

• Your carrying capacity (including maximum load and maximum lift) is doubled, and you have advantage on Strength Checks made to push, pull, lift, or break objects⁠.
• When pushed or moved against your will, you can use your reaction to reduce the distance moved by a number of feet equal to your Strength score.
• You have advantage on Constitution saving throws against exhaustion.

Blastback

At 14th level, your aim has gotten good enough that you can send enemies flying with your cannon.

Once per turn while raging and when you hit a creature with a weapon attack using a weapon with the heavy property, you can force the creature to make a Strength saving throw. The DC for the saving throw is calculated as 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier. On a failed save, a creature is pushed up to 15 feet away from you.

Path of the Challenger

Most barbarians seek out the most brutal weapon they can find to wield in battle. Those that follow the path of the challenger has come to the conclusion that their own muscles are the deadliest weapon of all. Perhaps the craziest of all barbarians, these pugilists rush into battle with neither weapon nor armor, their rage more like a euphoric laughter than a roaring howl as they revel in the battle ahead.

Fists of Fury

At 3rd level, the strike of your fists grow more potent, and each punch resounds a challenge to the creature you strike.

You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strikes. If you aren't wielding a weapon or a shield, you can roll a d8 instead.

Additionally when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike while raging, that creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you until the start of your next turn.

Challenger's Response

Beginning at 6th level, your response to fear is not to run away, but to punch harder. While frightened, you can still move towards the source of the frightened effect if you are raging.

Intercepting Strike

At 6th level, your quick reflexes allow you to intercept enemies aiming for your allies.

While raging, when a creature targets an ally within 30 feet with an attack, you can immediately use your reaction to move up to half your speed and make a single unarmed strike against the attacking creature if you're within range. You can take this reaction before the creature rolls to attack.

Psyche Up

At 10th level, you can release a loud bellow that inspires nearby allies.

As a bonus action, you can release a fierce cry that fills allies with courage. Up to ten creatures of your choice gains advantage on attack rolls and immunity to the frightened condition until the start of your next turn. If a chosen creature is frightened when it hears this war cry, the frightened effect is temporarily suspended for the duration of this effect and the creature makes its next saving throw to remove the frightened effect at advantage.

Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Death Defying

Beginning at 14th level, you refuse to fall while battle is still at hand.

While you’re raging, having 0 Hit Points doesn’t knock you unconscious. You still must make death saving throws, and you suffer the normal effects of taking damage while at 0 hit points. However, if you would die due to failing death saving throws, you don’t die until your rage ends, and you die then only if you still have 0 hit points.

Path of the Totem Warrior

The Path of the Totem Warrior is a viable choice that appears in the player's handbook. It is a suitable choice for tribal warriors from the fringes of the civilized world, where animal spirits guide the people. With this subclass, you become a ferocious warrior that draws upon the power of bear, eagle or wolf with abilities like the following:

• A choice between three major spirits: Bear, eagle and wolf, each with their own strengths. Focus on one, or build a totem with aspects of all three beasts.
• Bear grants you incredible fortitude to stand tall against any attack, strength to lift weights far heavier than the common person, and the ability to intimidate enemies into focusing their attention on you.
• Eagle grants you boundless speed and agility, the eyesight of an apex predator, and even the ability to take to the skies while raging.
• Wolf makes you a leader of your pack, able to grant advantage to allies, hunt and track enemies with ease, and knock down enemies you strike.

Path of the Storm Herald

The Path of the Storm Herald is a viable choice that appears in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. It is a suitable choice for warriors with hidden inner strength, able to draw power from the very elements themselves. With this subclass, you become a whirlwind of elemental powers, be they heat, cold or storm, harnessing the natural world with abilities like the following:

• The ability to summon a storming aura around yourself when you rage. As you grow stronger, this aura not only harms and hinders enemies but aids your allies as well.
• The desert aura is one of heat, burning enemies around you every round, lighting the surroundings on fire and sheltering you from fire damage.
• The sea aura harnesses the storms of the oceans, causing lightning bolts to strike down enemies, allowing you to breathe water as if it was air, and allowing you to strike enemies with the force of a tidal wave.
• The tundra aura surrounds you with the bitter chill of winter, numbing allies to suffering and reducing the damage they take, freezing water around you and halting enemies that try to escape.

See "Casting a Spell" in the Player's Handbook for the general rules of Spellcasting in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition).

Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls The D20 before deciding to use the Bardic Insp⁠iration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiratio⁠n die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspir⁠ation die at a time.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

During that time, you and any friendly creatures within 30 feet of you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed. A creature must be able to hear you to gain this benefit. The performance ends early if you are incapacitated or silenced or if you voluntarily end it (no action required).

Musical Secrets

At 10th level, you've gathered inspiration from creations of a wide spectrum of disciplines.

Choose two creations from any class creation list found in this document, including this one. The creation must be of a level you can use, as shown on the Bard table, or a trick.

The chosen creations count as bard creations for you and are included in the Creations Known column on the Bard table.

You learn two additional creations from any classes at 14th and again at 18th level.

Superior Inspiration

At 20th level, when you roll initiative and have no uses of Bardic Inspiration left, you regain one use.

Bard College

The way of a bard is gregarious. Bards seek each other out to swap songs and stories, boast of their accomplishments, and share their knowledge. Bards form loose associations, which they call colleges, to facilitate their gatherings and preserve their traditions. A bard college is rarely a physical place, though such institutions do exist, but more often than not they are simply a collective term for bards that share similar philosophies and walks of life.

College of Legends

Bards belonging to the college of legends are drawn to powerful personalities, intent on recording the life of extraordinary individuals and immortalizing them through song and music. These daring bards believe that a single powerful will can change the course of history and dedicate themselves to seeing their muse's ambition come true.

While some of these bards have themselves as their own muse, it is far more common for one to find a person or a group sometime in their life that they choose to follow. A musician aboard a pirate ship typically looks upon their captain or their whole crew in this fashion. These bards arm themselves for battle, intent on seeing the legends be made with their own eyes. Even if they don't have eyes.

Bonus Proficiencies

Beginning when you join this college at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons.

Brave Charge

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to weave music into melodic battle cries, imbuing allies with strength and endurance.

As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to sound a call to arms for your allies. Choose a number of creatures that can hear you within 60 feet, up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each of them gain 5 temporary hit points. Additionally, the next attack an affected creatures makes deals additional damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one additional damage).

The number of temporary hit points increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 8 at 5th level, 11 at 10th level, and 14 at 15th level.

Battle Musician

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. You can replace one of these attacks with a trick, or a Countercharm performance.

Rallying Encore

At 14th level, your music can inspire allies to fight on even as death encroaches upon them.

When you see a friendly creature be reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to sound a majestic melody that resonates with their spirit. The target instead falls to 1 hit point before it regains a number of hit points equal to your bard level, even if it normally would have died. Any negative effects caused by falling to 0 hit points are negated.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

College of Lore

Bards of the college of lore know something about most things, collecting bits of knowledge from sources as diverse as scholarly tomes and peasant tales. Whether singing folk ballads in taverns or elaborate compositions in royal courts, these bards use their gifts to hold audiences spellbound. When the applause dies down, the audience members might find themselves questioning everything they held to be true, from their faith in the priesthood of the local temple to their loyalty to the king.

The college’s members gather in libraries and sometimes in actual colleges, complete with classrooms and dormitories, to share their lore with one another. They also meet at festivals or affairs of state, where they can expose corruption, unravel lies, and poke fun at self-important nobles.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Lore at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with three skills of your choice.

Cutting Words

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to use your wit to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you can use your reaction to expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration, rolling a Bardic Inspiration die and subtracting the number rolled from the creature’s roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack roll or ability check succeeds or fails, or before the creature deals its damage. The creature is immune if it can’t hear you or if it’s immune to being charmed.

Additional Musical Secrets

At 6th level, you learn two creations of your choice from any class. A creation you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table, or a trick. The chosen creations count as bard creations for you but don’t count against the number of bard creations you know.

Peerless Skill

Starting at 14th level, when you make an ability check, you can expend one use of Bardic Inspiration. Roll a Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to your ability check. You can choose to do so after you roll the die for the ability check, but before the DM tells you whether you succeed or fail.

College of Valor

The College of Valor is a viable choice that appears in the Player's Handbook. It is a suitable choice for battle skaalds singing of glory and upbeat adventurers who bring a smile to the people they meet. With this subclass, you become a warrior poet equally skilled at battle and entertainment with abilities like the following:

• Mastery of armor and weapons, allowing you to wade into battle alongside allies with confidence.
• The ability to boost your allies' damage and armor rating with inspiring words.
• A choice of attacking multiple times during your turn, or weave magic and steel together into an elegant dance.

College of Swords

The College of Swords is a viable choice that appears in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. It is a suitable choice for swashbucklers and fencers with a more elegant and musical flair. With this subclass, you become a skilled swordsman that can rival any fighter in a straight-up fight with special techniques and abilities like the following:

• Mastery over all forms of blades and medium armor, making you a durable and skilled duelist.
• A choice of a fighting style, using either a single blade or one in each hand.
• Several flashy flourishes that improve your battle skills by expending Bardic Inspiration die.
• An additional attack per turn, letting you slice and dice with the best of them.

College of Eloquence

The College of Eloquence is a viable choice that appears in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. It is a suitable choice for politicians, poets and writers seeking inspiration and adventure upon the high seas using the power of their words, with abilities like the following:

• A silver tongue unparallelled even by other bards, able to sway or dupe just about anyone they speak to.
• The ability to know exactly what to say to undermine an enemy's defenses, making them less likely to succeed on their saving throws.
• An unfailing inspiration that remains in effect if it's not enough to aid an ally in succeeding a task, and eventually allowing them to inspire several creatures at once.

• A simple weapon of your choice and 10 darts

Brawling

At 1st Level, your experience in street fighting gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and brawler weapons, which are improvised weapons and any simple melee weapons⁠ that lacks the two-handed or heavy property.

You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only brawler weapons and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield:

• You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and brawler weapons.
• You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or brawler weapon. This die changes as you gain brawler levels, as shown in the Brawling column of the Monk table.
• When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a brawler weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn.

Unarmored Defense

Beginning at 1st Level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Spirit

Starting at 2nd Level, your training allows you to draw upon an inner energy of willpower and grit. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of spirit points. Your brawler level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Spirit Points column of the Brawler table.

You can spend these points to fuel various spirit features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more spirit features as you gain levels in this class.

When you spend a spirit point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you psyche your spirit back to full energy. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest doing light exercise to regain your spirit points.

Some of your spirit features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature’s Effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Spirit save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Flurry of Blows

Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 spirit point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action.

Patient Defense

You can spend 1 spirit point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.

Brawling Style

At 3rd level, you settle on a specific brawling style to define your brawling: Daredevil, Fishman Karate, Ninja, Rokushiki Master or Okama Kenpo, all detailed at the end of the class description.

Your fighting style grants you features at 3rd level and then again at 6th, 11th and 17th level.

Deflect Missiles

Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the att⁠ack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your brawler level. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 spirit point to make a ranged att⁠ack with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this atta⁠ck with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a brawler weapon for the att⁠ack, which has a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 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.

Evasion

At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a fireball creation. 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.

Shake it Off

At 7th level, you can use your action to end one effect on yourself that is causing you to be charmed or frightened.

Animal Spirit

Starting at 13th level, your inner spirit burns with passion that even wild animals can understand. You can speak with all beasts and monstrosities, and understand what they say as well. Additionally, you have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) ability checks you make towards beasts and monstrosities.

Diamond Soul

Beginning at 14th level, your hardened spirit grants you proficiency in all saving throws.

Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 spirit point to reroll it and take the second result.

Timeless Body

Perfect Self

At 20th level, when you roll for initiative and have no spirit points remaining, you regain 4 spirit points.

Brawling Style

Anyone can throw a punch if they try hard enough, but overtime specific brawling styles arose around the world. Each brawling style has a unique origin and philosophy behind it depending on the purpose for which it was developed.

Daredevil

Daredevils are brawlers who fight with complete abandon. However, while they may look unprofessional and unrefined from an outside perspective, a daredevil is defined by the purpose for which they fight, be it personal glory, a greater calling or their friends. Few enemies make for scarier opponents than a daredevil with everything to lose.

Power Strike

Starting at 3rd level, when you make an an unarmed strike as part of the Attack action, you can choose to not add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to twice your proficiency bonus.

Insurmountable Spirit

At 11th level, you cannot be brought down while your spirit is still burning bright. When you are brought to 0 hit points, you can expend 2 spirit points to remain conscious and take actions as normal. You do not need to make death saving throws in this state. Each time you take damage while in this state, or if you start your turn with 0 hit points, you must expend 2 spirit points or immediately fall unconscious. This state ends when you regain any hit points, and once it ends you cannot enter it again until you finish a long rest.

Finishing Blow

At 17th level, you can wager all your might and willpower into a single, devastating strike. When you hit with an unarmed strike, you can expend a number of spirit points up to half your brawler level (rounded up). For each spirit point you spend, you add one additional brawler die to the damage. If you spend five or more spirit points, you additionally add your brawler level to the amount of damage done.

Fishman Karate

Fishman karate is the signature fighting style of the fishmen. It's a skillful and powerful martial art that becomes even deadlier while underwater. Typically practiced only by fishmen, though there's nothing prohibiting other races from learning this martial art.

Aquatic Brawler

Starting at 3rd level, you gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed if you don't already have one. Additionally, you can hold your breath for up to 1 hour.

Brick Fist

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to launch a powerful strike that vibrates the water within a creature's body.

As an action, you can touch a creature and force it to make a Constitution saving throw. The creature takes bludgeoning damage equal to one roll of your brawler die + your Wisdom modifier on a failed save, and half as much on a successful one. On a failed save, it is additionally pushed up to 10 feet away from you. This damage cannot be resisted or reduced in any way except with certain Haki feats. When you use this feature, you can spend a number of spirit points up to your proficiency bonus, adding one additional brawler die to the damage for each spirit point spent.

While underwater, a creature without a swimming speed has disadvantage on its saving throw. After using Brick Fist, you can additionally make one unarmed strike as a bonus action, or use Flurry of Blows.

Water Shot

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to harness the moisture in the air, collecting it and hurling it as deadly projectiles.

You gain a new attack option that you can use with the Attack action. This special attack is a ranged attack with a range of 60 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your Dexterity or Wisdom modifier (your choice) to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is bludgeoning, and its damage die is a d4. This die changes as you gain brawler levels, as shown in the Brawling column of the Brawler table.

When you take the Attack action on your turn and use this special attack as part of it, you can spend 1 spirit point to make the special attack twice as a bonus action.

Weaving Rapids

Beginning at 6th level, you learn how to weave between enemies like a rapid current. When you use Step of the Wind, you can move through squares occupied by hostile creatures as if they were difficult terrain. If you end this movement in an already occupied space, you take 1d10 bludgeoning damage and are pushed to the nearest unoccupied square.

Water Heart

At 11th level, you learn a powerful technique to turn the ocean's tide upon your enemies. As an action, you can gather water and hurl it at a point you can see within 120 feet.

Each creature in a 20-foot radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save and half as much on a success. On a failed save, a creature additionally falls prone.

As part of this action, you can spend up to 3 spirit points, adding an additional 2d6 damage for each spirit point spent.

Additionally, if you spent at least 1 spirit point, a tube of water connects your position and the center of the sphere, which lasts until the start of your next turn. At your position is the entrance, and at the center of the sphere is the exit. A creature can enter the tube at its entrance and use a bonus action to ride the currents, appearing at an empty square of its choice within 20 feet of the tube's exit.

Vagabond Drill

At 17th level, you've learned the ultimate techniques of fishman karate. When you use Brick Fist, you can target each creature of your choice within a 30 foot cone instead of only a creature you touch. Additionally, if you spend 4 or more spirit points on Brick Fist, each affected creature becomes fatigued on a failed save, forcing it to subtract a d6 from any attack roll or ability check it makes for 1 minute.

A fatigued creature can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turn, ending the fatigue effect on itself on a successful save.

Ninja

Ninja are the legendary shadow warriors of Wano. Officially known as the Oniwabanshu, they are the eyes and ears of Wano's shogun. Reknowned for their ability to teleport, disappear in puffs of smoke or appear in several places at once, a true ninja will have vanquished his foes before they knew he was there.

Bonus Proficiency

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency with katana, and they count as brawler weapons for you.

Ninjutsu

Beginning at 3rd level, you learn to wield the legendary techniques of ninjutsu: Equal parts mysticism and trickery to beguile and confuse enemies. A ninjutsu technique requires that you expend spirit points when you use it.

You know the Ninpo technique and two other ninjutsu techniques of your choice, listed at the end of the class description. You learn two additional ninjutsu techniques at 6th, 11th and 17th level.

Whenever you learn a new ninjutsu techniques, you can also replace one ninjutsu techniques that you already know with a different technique.

Using Creations. Some ninjutsu techniques allow you to use creations. To use a creation, you use its casting time and follow the rules for using creations, and do not require material components.

Once you reach 5th level in this class, you can spend additional spirit points to increase the level of a ninjutsu technique creation that you use, provided that the creation has an enhanced effect at a higher level, as fog cloud does. The creation’s level increases by 1 for each additional spirit point you spend. For example, if you are a 5th-level brawler and use Smoke Bomb to use fog cloud, you can spend 2 spirit points to use it as a 2nd-level creation (the discipline’s base cost of 1 spirit point plus 1).

The maximum number of spirit points you can spend to use a creation in this way (including its base spirit point cost and any additional spirit points you spend to increase its level) is determined by your monk level, as shown in the Creations and Spirit Points table.

Creations and Spirit Points

Brawler Level	Maximum Spirit Points for a Creation
5th-8th	2
9th-12th	3
13th-16th	4
17th-20th	5

Ninjutsu Techniques

The ninjutsu techniques are presented in alphabetical order. If a technique requires a level, you must be that level in this class to learn the discipline.

• You create a harmless sound, and its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else’s voice, a lion’s roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.
• You can create an image of an object — such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest — it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can’t create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory Effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an i⁠llusion, because things can pass through it.
• You immediately put out all open, nonmagical flames within range that are attached to a tiny object, such as a torch, a candle or a sconce.
• You create a harmless sensory effect, such as a flurry of leaves, a puff of smoke, or a billowing wind.

If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an i⁠llusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spirit save DC. If a creature discerns the i⁠llusion for what it is, the il⁠lusion becomes faint to the creature.

Shadow Clones. As an action, you can create a number of shadow clones in empty squares within 5 feet of yourself. The number of shadow clones you can create and have active at any time equals your proficiency bonus, and you must spend 1 spirit point for each clone you create above one. Each clone has the exact same appearence and statistics as you, except it only has 1 hit point, no spirit points, cannot take any actions or reactions, and deals no damage with any attacks it makes.

When you move, you can move each of your clones up to your speed in a direction you choose, however a clone can't move further than 30 feet away from you.

When you use Brawling to make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, you can choose to have one of your clones make the attack instead of you. On hit, the target takes no damage from the clone, instead the next attack roll against the target has advantage. When you use Flurry of Blows, you can replace one or both of the attacks with attacks from your clones, targeting the same or a different creature.

A clone lasts for 1 minute, until destroyed, until you start your turn more than 30 feet away from it, or you dismiss it (no action required). The clones look identical to you, but a creature can make an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spirit save DC. On a successful check, it figures out who the real you are until you use an action to summon more clones.

Shuriken Storm (11th level required). You can spend 3 spirit points to use conjure barrage.

Smoke Bomb. You can spend 1 spirit point to use fog cloud.

Windborne Speed. You can spend 1 spirit point to use zephyr strike.

Yokai's Sight (6th level required). You can spend 2 spirit points to use darkvision.

Rokushiki Master

Rokushiki is a classified martial art practiced by the Navy. It allows the practitioner to move and strike at superhuman levels, having six primary techniques revolving around offense, defense and mobility in combat.

Six Techniques

Beginning at 3rd level, you've mastered a few of the signature techniques of Rokushiki.

Choose three of the following techniques. You gain the benefits of the chosen techniques immediately.

• Geppo. The distance you can cover with a high jump is tripled, and you only need to move 5 feet before making one. Additionally when you use your Step of the Wind, you can move horizontally through the air using your walking speed. You begin falling if you end your turn in the air.

• Tekkai. As a reaction when you suffer damage, you can spend 1 spirit point to reduce any damage you suffer by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one) until the end of your next turn. This effect ends early if you move, use a creation or make a weapon attack during this time.

• Shigan. As part of making an unarmed strike, you can move up to 10 feet in a straight line before the attack. If you do so, the attack deals piercing damage instead of the normal bludgeoning damage, and you can add one additional brawling die to the damage roll. You can only make this special attack once per turn.

• Rankyaku. You gain a new attack option that you can use with the Attack action. This special attack is a ranged attack with a range of 60 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your Dexterity modifier to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is slashing, and its damage die is a d4. This die changes as you gain brawler levels, as shown in the Brawling column of the Brawler table. When you take the Attack action on your turn and use this special attack as part of it, you can spend 1 spirit point to make the special attack twice as a bonus action. When you gain the Extra Attack feature, this special attack can be used for any of the attacks you make as part of the Attack action.

• Soru. As a bonus action on your turn, or as a reaction when a creature misses you with an attack, you can spend 1 spirit point to teleport up to 10 feet to an empty square you can see.

• Kami-e. As a reaction when a creature hits you with an attack, you can spend 1 spirit point to roll your brawling die and add the roll to your AC against the triggering attack, potentially causing the attack to miss.

When you reach 6th level in this class, you gain the remaining 3 techniques you didn't choose at 3rd level.

Enhanced Technique

At 11th level, you chose two of the six techniques you've mastered to make your specialties. The chosen technique grows stronger as shown below.

• Geppo. When you use your Step of the Wind, you now gain the effects of both a Dash and a Disengage action.

• Tekkai. This effect no longer ends early if you move, use a creation or make a weapon attack.

• Shigan. You now have advantage when you make this special attack, and score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the attack roll.

• Rankyaku. The range of your special attack increases to 120 and ignores any resistance to slashing damage. The attack now deals double damage to objects and structures, as well.

• Soru. The distance you can teleport with this technique increases to 20 feet, and you have advantage on the first attack roll you make after teleporting like this.

• Kami-e. The bonus to your AC granted by this technique now persists until the start of your next turn, not only against the triggering attack. It persists even if the triggering attack still hits.

When you reach 17th level in this class, you gain the remaining four enhanced techniques you didn't choose at 11th level.

Rokuogan

At 17th level, you learn the secret seventh technique of Rokushiki, available only to those who master the common six techniques.

As an action, you can touch a creature and expend up to 6 spirit points. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 2d10 necrotic damage per spirit point spent on a failed save, and half that on a successful one. If this damage reduces a creature to 0 hit points, it dies immediately.

Special Limitation: Navy Only

Rokushiki is a special martial art taught only to the navy's finest. It is recommended that only navy or navy-affiliated character are allowed to take this subclass. Naturally, Dungeon Masters are allowed to lift this restriction to better fit their idea of a campaign.

Okama Kenpo

Okama kenpo is a kick-focused martial art inspired by dance routines, such as ballet, developed by the inhabitants of the Kamabakka kingdom. While most of its practitioners are okama, that is not a requirement to master it.

Okama Way

Beginning at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit, and may double your proficiency bonus for any tool ability check you make with the kit. You also gain proficiency in the Performance skill.

Additionally, you may use your Charisma score in place of your Wisdom score for the calculations of your Unarmored Defense.

Swan Dance

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to conceal immeasurable strength beneeth the veneer of a distracting dance.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can force a creature to make a Wisdom (Insight) check contested by your Charisma (Performance) check. On a successful check, you have advantage on all weapon attacks against the target until the end of your turn, and can immediately make an unarmed strike against the creature as part of the same bonus action.

Hidden Weaponry

At 6th level, you learn how to hide weapons in your make-up, hair and outfit, where they appear as mundane objects. By taking 10 minutes, you can conceal a number of darts on your person equal to twice your proficiency bonus, incorporating them into your outfit or make-up as nails, earrings, hairpins or other accessories. Additionally, darts are now considered brawler weapons for you.

You can also attempt to disguise larger weapons as mundane items, such as turning a shortsword into a cane or a parasol. You need 1 hour of uninterrupted work per weapon to create a hidden weapon like this. Unlike the darts, these hidden weapons do not necessarily hold up to scrutiny, and a suspicious creature can make an Intelligence (Investigation) check contested by your Charisma (Performance). On a successful check, a creature realizes the object is a weapon.

When you make a weapon attack with a hidden weapon, you have advantage on the first attack roll you make with it against a creature, as long as the target doesn't know it's a weapon.

Elegant Combination

At 11th level, you learn a potent combination attack that ends with an explosive finish.

When you use your Flurry of Blows and hit with both attacks, you can make one additional unarmed strike as part of the same action. If this additional attack hits, the target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you decide whether the creature is knocked prone or pushed 15 feet away from you.

Grand Finale

At 17th level, you know that the final act must leave the audience awestruck and at a loss for words.

Your Elegant Combination special attack now always scores a critical hit on a successful hit.

Way of the Open Hand

The way of the open hand is a viable subclass choice for monks that appear in the player's handbook and can be easily translated to work with brawler. It is a fitting choice for classically trained monks and ascetics who focus on martial arts and inner harmony to best their enemies, with abilities like the following:

• The ability to harness their inner willpower to heal faster than the average man, gaining a burst of vitality to carry them through a fight.

• An aggravating fighting style that makes them increasingly frustrating to fight for enemies.
• The agility to leap from their back onto their feet with ease, run circles around their foes, and turn any bad situation into an advantageous one with nothing but sheer, dumb luck.
• The ability to fly through a group of enemies in a flurry of disorienting blows, without a single scratch on the brawler themselves.

Way of Mercy

The way of mercy is a viable subclass choice for monks that appear in Tasha's cauldron to everything and can be easily translated to work with brawler. It is a fitting choice for brawlers who are also masterful healers and doctors, able to use traditional medicine or pressure point striking to bring both healing and harm, with abilities like the following:

• The ability to use their spirit points to heal the wounded, either flavored as traditional medicine, acupuncture or similar practices.
• The ability to rend enemies from the inside out by striking pressure points.

Not all fighters are brutes who rely only on strength of arms to battle foes. Those known as gadget knights incorporate a genius creativity and handy craftsmanship in their fighting style, creating useful gadgets that give them an upper hand in any fight.

Creativity

When you reach 3rd level, you begin to incorporate creations into your fighting style. See chapter 2 for the notes on creativity and chapter 6 for the gadgeteer creations list.

Tricks. You learn two tricks of your choice from the gadgeteer creations list. You learn an additional gadgeteer trick of your choice at 10th level.

Creative Slots. The Gadget Knight Creativity table shows how many creation slots you have to use your gadgeteer creations of 1st level and higher. To use one of these creations⁠, you must expend a slot of the creation’s level or higher. You regain all expended creation slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level creation burning hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level creation slot available, you can use burning hands⁠ using either slot.

Creations⁠ Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level gadgeteer creations of your choice,.

The Creations Known column of the Gadget Knight Creativity table shows when you learn more gadgeteer creations⁠ of 1st level or higher.

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

Creation Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Also at 3rd level, you can leverage your creativity to enhance any weapons you are wielding or carrying. As an action, you can touch a weapon and modify it. The modification lasts until you undo it as a bonus action or you die, and you can have a number of modified weapons at once equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one modified weapon). A weapon can only have a single modification at any time, and if a new modification is given to it, the older one disappears. Only you have the necessary expertise to handle a modified weapon, and you can use a modified weapon as an apparatus for your gadgeteer creations.

When you modify a weapon, choose one of the following modifications to add to it:

• A melee weapon gains your choice of the light, finesse or reach property, as long as it lacks the heavy property.
• A melee weapon gains the thrown (30/120) property as long as it doesn't have the heavy property. The weapon returns to you after being thrown.

Battle Creativity

Beginning at 7th level, when you use your action to use a trick, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

When you spend a creation slot of 1st level or higher on your turn, you gain the benefits of half cover until the start of your next turn.

Improved Battle Creativity

Beginning at 18th level, when you use your action to use a creation of 1st level or higher, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

Battlemaster

The Battlemaster archetype is a viable choice that appears in the player's handbook. It is a suitable choice for swordsmen and seasoned warriors who do not rely on devil fruits. With this subclass, you become a tactical master of the battlefield, organizing allies and reigning superior over your enemies with abilities like the following:

• A wide plethora of maneuvers designed to control the flow of battle. Knock enemies prone, rally allies or frighten enemies with displays of superior martial skill.
• Additional dice called Superiority Dice that enhance your versatility and strength in combat, which only grow stronger as you gain levels in the class.
• A keen eye allow you to gauge the strengths of your enemies through simply conversing with them.

Cavalier

The Cavalier archetype is a viable choice that appears in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. It is a suitable choice for the noble marines who see themselves as protectors rather than judges and pirate hunters. With this subclass, you become a noble knight and protector of the innocent. Whether atop your trusty steed or facing your enemy on the ground, you remain a staunch defender with abilities like the following:

• The ability to mark enemies you strike, imposing disadvantage on them if they dare strike your allies.
• Honed reflexes to rush to allies' aid, using your shield or weapon to boost their AC against attacking enemies.

• (a) a scholar's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
• (a) a bag of inventions or (b) an apparatus
• a dagger and a notebook

Creativity (Spellcasting)

As an adept gadgeteer⁠, you have a notebook containing creations that show the first glimmerings of your true potential. See the gadgeteer creation list under "Gadgeteer Creations by Level". (Creativity is synonymous with 5th edition Spellcasting. See "Casting a Spell" in the Player's Handbook for the general rules of Spellcasting in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition).

Tricks (Cantrips)

At 1st Level, you know three tricks of your choice from the gadgeteer creations list. You learn additional gadgeteer tricks of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Tricks Known column of the Gadgeteer table.

Notebook (Spellbook)

At 1st Level, you have a notebook containing six 1st-level gadgeteer creations of your choice. Your notebook⁠ is the repository of the gadgeteer creations⁠ you know, except your tricks, which are fixed in your mind.

Preparing and Using Creations (Preparing and Casting Spells)

The Gadgeteer table shows how many creation slots you have to use your gadgeteer creations of 1st Level and higher. To use one of these creations⁠, you must expend a slot of the creation’s level or higher. You regain all expended creation slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of gadgeteer creations that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of gadgeteer creations⁠ from your notebook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your gadgeteer level (minimum of one creation). The creations⁠ must be of a level for which you have creation slots.

For example, if you’re a 3rd-level gadgeteer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level creation slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared creations can include six creations⁠ of 1st or 2nd Level, in any combination, chosen from your notebook. If you prepare the 1st-level creation burning hands, you can use it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Using the creation doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared creations⁠.

You can change your list of prepared creations when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of gadgeteer creations⁠ requires time spent studying your notebook and recalibrating the gadgets and gizmos you need to use the creation: at least 1 minute per creation level for each creation on your list.

Creative Ability (Spellcasting Ability)

Intelligence is your creative ability for your gadgeteer creations, as you learn through careful study and observation, trial and error. You use your Intelligence whenever a creation refers to your creative⁠ ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting⁠ the saving throw DC for a gadgeteer creations you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Creation save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Creation Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Routine Usage (Ritual Casting)

You can use a gadgeteer creation as a routine if that creation has the routine tag and you have the creation in your notebook. You don’t need to have the creation prepared.

Apparatus (Focus)

You can use any apparatus or tinker's tools as an apparatus for your gadgeteer creations.

Learning Gadgets of 1st Level and Higher (Learning Spells)

Each time you gain a gadgeteer level, you can add two gadgeteer creations of your choice to your notebook for free. Each of these creations⁠ must be of a level for which you have creation slots, as shown on the gadgeteer table. On your adventures, you might find other creations that you can add to your notebook (see the “Your notebook”).

Gadget Recharge

Also at 1st level, you have learned to recharge some of your creations by tinkering with them. Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended creation slots to recover. The creation slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your gadgeteer level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.

For example, if you’re a 4th-level gadgeteer, you can recover up to two levels worth of creation slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level creation slot or two 1st-level creation slots.

Your Notebook⁠ (Spellbook)

The creations that you add to your notebook as you gain levels reflect the research you conduct on your own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had in the fields of engineering. You might find other creations⁠ during your adventures. You could discover a creation recorded on a blueprint in a shipwright's desk, for example, or written in poneglyphs in an ancient library⁠.

Copying a Creation into the Book⁠. When you find a gadgeteer creation of 1st Level or higher, you can add it to your notebook if it is of a creation level you can prepare and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.

Copying that creation into your notebook involves reproducing the basic form of the creation, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the gadgeteer who wrote it. You must create prototypes of the creation until you understand what makes it tick, then transcribe it into your notebook⁠ using your own notation.

For each level of the creation, the process takes 2 hours and costs 500 000 beri. The cost represents material components you expend as you craft prototypes, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the creation just like your other creations.

Replacing the Book⁠. You can copy a creation from your own notebook into another book—for example, if you want to make a backup copy of your notebook⁠. This is just like copying a new creation into your notebook⁠, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to craft the creation. You need spend only 1 hour and 100 000 beri for each level of the copied creation.

If you lose your notebook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the creations that you have prepared into a new notebook⁠. Filling out the remainder of your notebook requires you to find new spells⁠ to do so, as normal. For this reason, many gadgeteers keep backup notebooks in a safe place.

The Book’s Appearance. Your notebook is a unique compilation of creations and blueprints, with its own standard of measurements and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume that you received as a gift from your master, meticulously drawn blueprints kept firmly rolled into a scroll case⁠, or even a loose collection of notes that only ever makes sense to you, stashed away equally haphazardly into an old backpack.

Scientific Pursuit

At 2nd level, you choose a specific scientific route that characterizes yourself and determines the functionality of your inventions. Choose between Specialist, Inventor or Scientist, all detailed at the end of the class description.

Your choice grants you features at 2nd Level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

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.

Gadget Mastery

At 18th level, you have achieved such mastery over certain creations that you can use them at will. Choose a 1st-level gadgeteer creation and a 2nd-level gadgeteer creation that are in your notebook. You can use those creations⁠ at their lowest level without expending a creation slot when you have them prepared. If you want to use either creation at a higher level, you must expend a creation slot as normal.

By spending 8 hours in study, you can exchange one or both of the creations you chose for different creations⁠ of the same levels.

Signature Creations

When you reach 20th level, you gain mastery over two powerful creations and can use them with little effort. Choose two 3rd-level gadgeteer creations⁠ in your notebook⁠ as your signature creations⁠. You always have these creations⁠ prepared, they don’t count against the number of creations⁠ you have prepared, and you can use each of them once at 3rd level without expending a creation slot. When you do so, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

If you want to use either creation at a higher level, you must expend a creation slot as normal.

Scentific Pursuits

Every inventor and gadgeteer around the world has its own unique approach to creations, whether they focus on creating a lot of external inventions and gadgets with a singular purpose each, or rely on a specific, custom-made apparatus that can shape any form of creation they know.

Specialist

Specialists are gadgeteers who stick to what they know, typically relying on a single modified weapon or tool for protection. Their creations and techniques usually center around this special device.

Specialist Weapon

At 2nd level, you create a gadgeteer weapon that acts as a container for your creations.

Over the course of 1 hour, you can use your tinker's tools to modify one simple or martial weapon that lacks the heavy property into a specialist weapon. You are proficient in the use of your gadgeteer weapon, and it gains the following benefits.

• The specialist weapon counts as an apparatus for your gadgeteer creations.
• When you attack with your specialist weapon, the damage type is your choice of acid, cold, fire, lightning or poison damage, or the weapon's original damage.
• If the weapon normally requires ammunition to be used, it now produces its own ammunition.
• If the weapon has the thrown property, it returns to your hand after being thrown.

You can only have one specialist weapon at any time. If you create a new specialist weapon, the old one immediately ceases to function and becomes a normal weapon again.

Unarmored Defense

Also at 2nd level, your smarts lets you see your enemy's plan of attack before it even strikes. While you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield, your armor class is calculated as 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Intelligence modifier.

Extra Attack

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, when you take the Attack action on your turn. You can use a trick in place of one of these attacks.

Dampening Field

Beginning at 10th level, you can leverage your specialist weapon to protect against elemental attacks.

When you or a creature you can see within 30 feet suffers acid, cold, fire, lightning or poison damage, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage taken by an amount equal to your gadgeteer level + your Intelligence modifier. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

While you have no more uses of this feature, you can use it anyways by expending a creation slot of 3rd level or higher.

Intellectual Warrior

Beginning at 14th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one) to the damage of your weapon attacks using your specialist weapon.

Inventor

Inventors aren't particularly concerned with the purpose of their creations as much as they simply love the art of creation. Their creations can at times be unpredictable but once they get an idea in their head, they will see it through until they reach perfection.

Bonus Proficiencies

At 2nd level, you gain proficiency in the Engineering skill if you don't already have it. You also gain proficiency with two sets of artisan's tools of your choice.

Failsafe

At 2nd level, you can sculpt your creations to make sure they don't harm your allies.

When you use a creation that deals damage and affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 + the spell's level. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the creation, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.

Power Charge

At 6th level, you've rigged your creations with enough explosive hardware that they're certain to always go out with a bang, and never a disappointing fizzle.

When you roll damage for a creation, you can reroll any 1s you roll and must use the new rolls. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all uses when you finish a long rest. You also regain one use of this feature when you use Gadget Recharge.

Up to Eleven

Beginning at 10th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of any gadgeteer creation you use.

Overcharge

At 14th level, you've come to the genius conclusion that safety switches are completely optional for your creations.

When you use a gadgeteer creation of 5th level or lower that deals damage, you can deal maximum damage with the creation instead of rolling.

The first time you do so, you suffer no adverse effects. If you use this feature again before you finish a long rest, you take 2d12 necrotic damage for each level of the creation, immediately after you use it. Each time you use this feature again before finishing a long rest, the necrotic damage per creation level increases by 1d12. This damage ignores resistance and immunity.

Scientist

Scientists take a very academical and analytical approach to their inventions. To them, theory and results are more important than the actual act of creation itself. Efficient and by the book, their creations can be counted on to be reliable, if not necessarily very flashy. The hallmark of their creations is the existence of their mechanical assistant, which is never found far from its master and carries out their ever command.

Keen Wit

Also at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in two of the following skills of your choice: Engineering, History, Nature or Investigation. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make with either of the two skills.

Mechanical Assistant

Also at 2nd level, you've constructed a small, mechanical assistant to aid you in your research. See the Mechanical Assistant stat block at the end of the class description for the creature's statistics. You determine the assistant's appearence. Some scientists prefer a mechanical animal, while others may prefer a toy-like design.

In combat, the assistant acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the assistant can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

If the assistant is reduced to 0 hit points, it is rendered unusable until you spend 1 hour working on it with your tinker's tools, after which it returns to life with all its hit points restored. If mending is cast on the assistant, it immediately regains 2d6 hit points.

When you use a creation with a range other than self, you can use it as if you were occupying your assistant's space.

Reserve Power

At 6th level, you never exhaust a gadget if you don't think it'll work. When a creature successfully saves against a creation you use, you can choose to regain the creation slot with which you used the creation. If the creation slot was 6th level or higher, the new creation slot is 5th level instead.

Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Analyze

At 10th level, your assistant can analyze your enemies and their weaknesses to give you an upper hand.

When you command the assistant to take its Search action, you can additionally expend a creation slot of any level to learn one of the following facts about one creature the assistant can see within 60 feet of it.

• The creature's type.
• The creature's armor class.
• One of the creature's ability scores of your choice.
• What damage resistances, immunities and vulnerabilities, if any, the creature has.
• What condition immunities, if any, the creature has.

Stored Creation

Beginning at 14th level, you can store a creation within your mechanical assistant.

When you finish a long rest, you can store a creation of 1st or 2nd level in your mechanical assistant. The creation must exist in your notebook, but you don't need to have it prepared to store it, and it must have a normal usage time of 1 action. You can only have one creation stored in the assistant at one time, and if you store another creation within it, the first creation is removed from the assistant.

Once a creation has been stored in the assistant, it can then use an action on its turn to use the creation, using your creation attack modifier and creation save DC. The assistant can take this action a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once) and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Marksmen are all defined by their improbable aim and massive resourcefulness that sets them apart from common gunmen. However, marksmen differ greatly between eachother, some being patient snipers that take down enemies from afar, while others tame beasts that aid them in taking out enemies, and others still learn how to wield melee weapons as skillfully as they wield their guns and bows.

Sniper

The quintessential marksman is the sniper, a skilled fighter that excells at fighting at long ranges utilizing the massive reach of their weapons. A sniper is remarkable for their skill more so than their weapon of choice, as even a humble slingshot can be deadly in the hands of a skilled sniper.

If you do so, the normal and maximum range of any ranged weapon you're wielding becomes 100 and 400 feet unless it's already more than that. Additionally, you ignore any disadvantage on ranged attacks imposed by weather-related effects, such as fog or strong winds.

Beastmasters are wardens of nature and skilled survivalists. They have an innate ability to communicate with animals and are always accompanied by a bestial companion that fights alongside them as an extension of the beastmaster's own body.

Bestial Companion

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you get access to an animal companion that will follow you on your adventures.

Choose either the Beast of the Air, Beast of the Earth or Beast of the Sea to be your companion, all listed at the end of the subclass description. Your bestial companion takes a form appropriate to its type, for instance a Beast of the Air might be a hawk or a seagull, while a Beast of the Land could be a wolf or a bear.

In combat, the beast acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the beast to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

If your bestial companion is reduced to 0 hit points, it falls unconscious and makes death saving throws as normal instead of dying outright. As an action, you can touch an unconscious or dead bestial companion and expend one creation slot of 1st level or higher. If your bestial companion was unconscious, it regains 1d8 hit points per creation slot level instantly. If your bestial companion was dead, it regains consciousness after 1 minute with all its maximum hit points restored.

While traveling alone with your bestial companion, you can move stealthily at a normal pace. Your bestial companion always knows the general direction of your position and will immediately seek you out to the best of its ability if the two of you are separated.

Natural Attunement

Also at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Animal Handling skill if you don't already have it and may double your proficiency bonus for any ability check made with the skill.

Additionally, you can speak and communicate with beasts and understand anything they are saying. This doesn't make them any friendlier towards you than normal, however you can combine this ability with food to curry favor with animals.

Exceptional Training

Beginning at 7th level, you've trained your companion well.

Your bestial companion can take the Dash, Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on its turn. In addition, if you know any Haki feats, your bestial companion gains those feats as well.

Enrage

At 15th level, you and your bestial companion become enraged with primal fury at the sight of injury to eachother.

When your bestial companion is reduced to 0 hit points, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute. If you are reduced to 0 hit points, your bestial companion gains these benefits instead.

• You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.
• You gain immunity to the charmed, frightened and paralyzed conditions, and your movement speed cannot be reduced.
• You can make one additional weapon attack on your turn as a bonus action.

• (a) a scholar's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
• a flintlock and 20 bullets, and a suit of leather armor

Creativity (Spellcasting)

You have learned to create medicines and poisons potent enough to pass for magic among common folk. See the medic creation list under "Medic Creations by Level". (Creativity is synonymous with 5th edition Spellcasting. See "Casting a Spell" in the Player's Handbook for the general rules of Spellcasting in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition).

Tricks (Cantrips)

At 1st level, you know three tricks of your choice from the medic creations list. You learn additional medic tricks of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Tricks Known column of the Medic table.

Preparing and Using Creations (Preparing and Casting Spells)

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

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

For example, if you are a 3rd-level medic, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level creation slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared creations can include six creations⁠ of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level creation cure wounds, you can use it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Using the creation doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared creations⁠.

You can also change your list of prepared creations when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of medic creations⁠ requires time spent working with your medicinal components: at least 1 minute per creation level for each creation on your list.

Creative⁠ Ability (Spellcasting Ability)

Wisdom is your creative ability for your medic creations. Your creations are medicinal restoratives and potent poisons that require a perceptive eye and hand to mix properly. You use your Wisdom whenever a creation refers to your creative⁠ ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting⁠ the saving throw DC for a medic creation you use and when making an attack roll with one.

Creation save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Creation Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Routine Usage (Ritual Casting)

You can use any medic creation you know as a routine if that creation has the routine tag.

Apparatus (Spellcasting Focus)

You can use alchemist's supplies or a herbalism kit as an apparatus for your medic creations.

Medical Expertise

You are particularly adept at healing the wounded. You have advantage on all Wisdom (Medicine) checks made to stabilize dying creatures, and if you roll a 20 on the d20, the creature regains consciousness with 1 hit point. A creature can only benefit from this effect once, and must finish a long rest before it can do so again.

Additionally, when you stabilize a creature, you can remove one poison or disease from it.

Experimental Medicine

Starting at 2nd level, you've developed a type of medicine that massively boosts your physical abilities for an extended period of time. The medicine is tailored to your physiology, and only you can benefit from it.

As an action on your turn, you can administer this special medicine to yourself, granting you temporary hit points equal to four times your level in this class. When you administer this medicine, additionally choose one of the following enhancements to gain:

• Hulking Strength. You gain an immense surge in Strength for the duration, causing your Strength score to be set to a number equal to your Wisdom score, unless it's already higher. Additionally, your unarmed strikes in this form deal 1d8 bludgeoning damage instead of the normal damage.
• Nimble Dexterity. You gain a sudden burst of agility and speed, causing your Dexterity score to be set to a number equal to your Wisdom score, unless it's already higher, and increasing your speed by 10 feet.
• Resilient Constitution. You're imbued with a strong and hearty vigor, causing your Constitution score to be set to a number equal to your Wisdom score, unless it's already higher, and granting advantage on Constitution saving throws.

The medicine's effects last for a number of hours equal to half your healer level (rounded down), but ends early if you lose all temporary hit points gained by this effect or if you willingly end it as a bonus action. While the medicine is active, you can change the enhancement you gained as an action on your turn, for instance changing from Hulking Strength to Nimble Dexterity or back. You lose the effects of the previous enhancement and replace them with the new one when you do this.

You can use this feature twice, and regain all uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Medical Specialization

At 2nd level, you choose a medical specialization for your focused studies. Choose between the field surgeon, physician, chemist or sawbones, all detailed at the end of the class description.

You choice grants you features at 2nd level, and again at 6th, 10th and 14th level.

Overheal

At 18th level, your healing becomes unparallelled. When you restore hit points to a creature with a creation of 1st level or higher, you restore the maximum amount of hit points possible instead of rolling.

Secrets of Medicine

Beginning at 18th level, you've unraveled the secrets of longevity with your medical expertise. For every 10 years that pass, you age only 1 year.

Miracle Worker

At 20th level, you've completely stabilized the formula for your Experimental Medicine, allowing you to use it an unlimited amount of times between rests.

Additionally, you no longer require verbal or somatic components for any medic creations you use, and only require material components if they have a listed cost or are consumed upon use.

Medical Specialization

Medics come from all walks of life, whether they are kindly village herbalists who forage for medicine in the nearby woods or well-renowned scientists working for the world government in pursuit of breakthroughs in medical science. Whether motivated by their morals or monetary flow, all medics know that their role is a vital one in any crew.

Field Surgeon

Field surgeons are the archetypical pirate crew doctors, who wade into the fray with their allies without fear. To this end, they're the most adept at using experimental medicine in combat, and have found ways to improve its potency manifold. However, this power comes at a cost of their humanity if they go too far with it, and most field surgeons hesitate to indulge in their most powerful medicine too often for this reason.

Combat Medicine

Beginning at 2nd level, you can now use Experimental Medicine as a bonus action rather than an action, and can swap between enhancements as a bonus action as well.

Additionally, the temporary hit points you gain from Experimental Medicine now includes your Wisdom modifier.

Enhanced Forms

Also at 2nd level, the enhancements provided by Experimental Medicine become stronger for you.

• Hulking Strength. The damage die of your unarmed strikes increases to a d10.
• Nimble Dexterity. Opportunity attacks against you now has disadvantage.
• Resilient Constitution. You gain resistance to non-imbued bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.

Extra Attack

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

Monstrous Transformation

Also at 6th level, you can cast aside common sense and use the full strength of your medicine to transform into a monster. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend both uses of Experimental Medicine to transform into a monstrous form of yourself for 1 hour or until you lose all temporary hit points gained by the transformation. During this transformation, you gain the following benefits:

• Your size becomes large, and your creature type becomes monstrosity.
• The temporary hit points you gain are doubled.
• You gain the benefits of all three enhancements available to Experimental Medicine simultaneously.

During this transformation, you cannot use creations. On your turn, you must move towards the closest creature within range and take the Attack action against it. If no creature is within range, you can take the Dash action to move towards the nearest creature. If you are unable to move or take actions and this is caused by an effect that can be ended with an action, you can then take an action to attempt to end the effect on yourself.

Once this transformation ends, you gain one level of exhaustion and cannot transform like this again until you finish a long rest.

Contained Rampage

Beginning at 10th level, you no longer lose control during Monstrous Transformation and can move and act normally, however you still cannot use creations in this state and still suffer a level of exhaustion once it ends.

Greater Enhancements

Starting at 14th level, you've mastered the formula for your Experimental Medicine, enhancing the effects of it even further.

• Hulking Strength. The damage die of your unarmed strikes increases to a d12, and you now have advantage on all Strength checks and saving throws.
• Nimble Dexterity. Your speed doubles, and creatures cannot make opportunity attacks against you.
• Resilient Constitution. You gain immunity to the paralyzed and poisoned conditions, and resistance to poison and necrotic damage.

Physician

Physicians focus primarily on their job as a the ship's doctor, and specialize in using their medicine to aid allies and heal their wounds over fighting on the frontlines themselves.

Healer's Touch

Beginning at 2nd level, you have a number of healing dice equal to your level, which are d6s. As a bonus action on your turn, you can touch a creature within 5 feet of you and spend a number of these healing dice up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one healer's die). Roll the dice, add them together, and restore hit points to the target equal to the total. You regain all spent healing dice when you finish a long rest.

Alternatively, when you restore hit points to a creature using a medic creation of 1st level or higher, you can expend a number of these healing dice up to the level of the creation and add them to the amount of hit points restored to one creature affected by the creation.

Physician Creations

Being always prepared for the worst, you make certain to always have specific creations ready at hand. At 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th level respectively, you gain access to specific creations, as shown in the Physician Creations table.

You always have these creations prepared, and they don't count towards the number of creations you can prepare. If you gain access to a creation that isn't in the medic spell list, it is nonetheless a medic spell for you.

Physician Creations

Medic Level	Creation
2nd	bless, cure wounds
3rd	enhance ability, lesser restoration
5th	aura of vitality, revivify
7th	aura of purity, death ward
9th	greater restoration, mass cure wounds

Experimental Application

Starting at 6th level, you've learned how to apply your Experimental Medicine as an unstable but highly effective regenerative medicine.

As an action on your turn, you can expend one use of your Experimental Medicine and create a cloud of medical fumes that can restore a number of hit ooints equal to five times your medic level. Choose any creatures within 30 feet of you, and divide those hit points among them. This feature can restore a creature to no more than half of its hit point maximum. You can’t use this feature on an Undead or a Construct.

Developed Immunity

Beginning at 10th level, you become immune to all poisons and diseases. Additionally, your hit point maximum can no longer be reduced.

Master Practitioner

Beginning at 14th level, you can use lesser restoration at will, and no longer require material components to use greater restoration.

Chemist

Chemists take the practice of medicine to its logical extremes, and often beyond that. They are boundless visionaries who push their craft to the breaking point, finding ways to cause harm with an art oftentimes meant to save lives, whether deliberately so or not.

Chemist Creations

Your constant experimentation has yielded some strange results. At 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th level respectively, you gain access to specific creations, as shown in the Chemist Creations table.

You always have these creations prepared, and they don't count towards the number of creations you can prepare. If you gain access to a creation that isn't in the medic spell list, it is nonetheless a medic spell for you.

Chemist Creations

Medic Level	Creation
2nd	ray of sickness, tasha's caustic brew^
3rd	alter self, melf's acid arrow
5th	fireball, stinking cloud
7th	vitriolic sphere^, wall of fire
9th	cloudkill, reincarnate (always creates augmented race)

Experimental Ooze

At 2nd level, you've redesigned the formula for your Experimental Medicine, allowing you to create a form of life from it instead of empowering yourself.

As an action, you expend one use of Experimental Medicine to summon an Experimental Ooze instead of gaining any enhancements. The ooze appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you. Each creature within 10 feet of the ooze (other than you) when it appears must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your creation save DC or take 2d6 acid damage.

The ooze is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Experimental Ooze stat block at the end of the class description, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the ooze's appearance. Some oozes look just like a featureless blob of colorful, viscous liquid, while others take on vaguely humanoid shapes.

In combat, the ooze shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the ooze can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The ooze manifests for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the ooze again, or until you die.

Chemical Reactions

Beginning at 6th level, when you use a creation that deals either acid, fire, necrotic or poison damage while your experimental ooze is summoned, you can roll a d8 and add it to one damage roll of the creation.

Additionally, when you use a creation with a range other than self, you can cause the creation to originate from you or your experimental ooze.

Chemical Detonation

Beginning at 10th level, you've rigged the chemical components of your experimental ooze to detonate violently when it perishes.

When your experimental ooze takes damage, it can use its reaction to instantly reduce its hit points to 0 and detonate in a blast of caustic sludge. Each creature within 10 feet of the ooze must make a Dexterity saving throw against your creation save DC, taking 2d10 + your Wisdom modifier acid damage on a failed save, and half as much on a success.

You can detonate an experimental ooze like this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Regenerating Ooze

Beginning at 14th level, your ooze instantly reforms after using Chemical Detonation, returning to life with a number of hit points equal to your medic level + your Wisdom modifier. After your ooze reforms itself, you must then summon a new ooze in order to use this feature again.

Sawbones

Good doctors are hard to come by. When you're a pirate, virtuous ones even more so. In academical circles, being labeled "sawbones" is definitely a mark of shame, however among pirates and marines it's a title that oftentimes carry some modicum of respect, and no small amount of fear.

Compared to other medics, sawbones are decidedly more capable and willing of holding their own in a fight, using their intricate knowledge of anatomy and surgical precision to cut their foes to ribbons.

Bonus Proficiencies

Beginning at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with cutlasses, katanas, longswords, shortswords, scimitars and rapiers. You can use any weapon you are proficient with as an apparatus for your medic creations.

Surgical Precision

Also at 2nd level, you can leverage your medical expertise to unveil a creature's weak spot to you and your allies. As an action on your turn, you can expend both uses of Experimental Medicine to target one creature you can see within 30 feet and expose it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the exposed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attack’s damage, and is then no longer exposed.

Beginning at 6th level, you can use this feature by expending only one use of Experimental Medicine, instead of both.

Extra Attack

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

Anatomical Study

Beginning at 10th level, you can study a creature's anatomy from afar in order to determine how to best heal or harm it.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can target one creature you can see within 60 feet and study it briefly, gaining one of the following bonuses until the start of your next turn:

• The next time you deal damage to the creature, you deal additional damage to it equal to your medic level.
• The next time you restore hit points to the creature with a creation of 1st level or higher, it regains an additional amount of hit points equal to your medic level.
• The next time the creature hits you with an attack, you can reduce the damage taken by an amount equal to your your medic level.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Doctor Death

Beginning at 14th level, constant interaction with the dying has given you a strangely intimate relationship with death. You gain immunity to the frightened condition, and can leverage your morbid connection to unnerve other creatures.

Once per turn when you target a creature with Surgical Precision or Anatomical Study, you can force it to make a Wisdom saving throw against your creation save DC. On a failed save, the creature becomes frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Paragon (Paladin)

As a paragon, you gain the following class features

Hit Points

---

---

• Armor: All armor, shields
• Weapons: Simple weapons, martial weapons

• (a) chainmail or (b) a heavy longcoat
• (a) a dungeoneer's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
• five javelins, a dagger and a memento

Ardent Soul

Your soul flares with a passion unlike the common man, which manifests occasionally as a disposition towards elemental forces: Burning Passion, Caustic Spite, Cold Indifference, Fulminating Glee, Mindful Insight, Necrotic Mania, Radiant Superiority, Thundering Resolve or Venomous Duality, all detailed at the end of the class description.

Your choice grants you features at 1st level, and then again at 3rd, 7th, 15th and 20th level.

Rallying Presence

At 1st level, your strong personality inspires allies on the battlefield, allowing them to catch their breath and have a second wind.

You have a pool of inspiring energy equal to five times your paragon level. As an action, you can touch a willing creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in that pool.

Alternatively, you can expend 5 of these hit points to help the ally snap out of a stupor. The ally can immediately make a saving throw to remove one effect that has it charmed or frightened. You can aid it in removing several of these effects at once, expending hit points for each effect.

Creativity

At 2nd level, your passionate soul finally stirs enough to awaken the power slumbering within. (Creativity is synonymous with 5th edition Spellcasting. See "Casting a Spell" in the Player's Handbook for the general rules of Spellcasting in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition).

Preparing and Using Creations (Spell Slots)

The Paragon table shows how many creation slots you have to play your paragon creations of 1st Level and higher. To play one of these creations⁠, you must expend a slot of the creation’s level or higher. You regain all expended creation slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of paragon creations that are available for you to use, choosing from the paragon creation list. When you do so, choose a number of paragon creations equal to your Charisma modifier + half your paragon level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The creations must be of a level for which you have creation slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level paragon, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level creation slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared creations can include four creations of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. For example, if you prepare the 1st-level creation longstrider and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level creation slot available, you can use longstrider with either slot.

You can change your list of prepared creations when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of paragon creations requires time spent in focus and creative pursuit: at least 1 minute per creation level for each creation on your list.

Creative⁠ Ability (Spellcasting Ability)

Charisma is your creative ability for your paragon creations. Your creations are not physical items, but rather manifestations of your own burning passion and innate talent. You use your Charisma whenever a creation refers to your creative⁠ ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting⁠ the saving throw DC for a paragon creation you play and when making an attack roll with one.

Creation save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Creation Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Apparatus (Spellcasting Focus)

You can use a memento as an apparatus for your paragon creations.

Fighting Style

At 2nd Level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options.

Defense

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

Dueling

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.

Great Weapons Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Protection

When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

Unarmed Fighting

Your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. If you aren't wielding any weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8.

At the start of each of your turns, you can deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to one creature grappled by you.

Ardent Smite

Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one creation slot to deal damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level creation slot, plus 1d8 for each creation level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8.

The damage type of this extra damage depends on your choice of Ardent Soul, as described in the Ardent Soul Element table below.

Ardent Soul Element

Ardent Soul	Damage Type
Burning Passion	Fire
Caustic Spite	Acid
Cold Indifference	Cold
Fulminating Glee	Lightning
Mindful Insight	Psychic
Necrotic Mania	Necrotic
Radiant Superiority	Radiant

Venomous Duality	Poison

Channel Conviction

At 3rd level, you also gain the Channel Conviction features of your subclass. Your powerful soul allow you to channel an inner power to fuel fantastic effects. Each Channel Conviction option provided by your code explains how to use it.

When you use your Channel Conviction, you choose which effect to use. You must finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Conviction again.

Some Channel Conviction effects require a saving throw. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your paragon creation save DC.

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.

Extra Attack

Aura of Protection

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Aura of Courage

Starting at 10th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you can’t be frightened while you are conscious.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Saviour in Need

At 14th level, you can draw upon your inner strength to help an ally escape from nefarious effects.

As an action, you can end one creative effect on yourself or a willing creature you touch.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once) and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Ardent Soul

A paragon is defined by their innate ability to draw upon a fantastical elemental force. Sometimes, it is a gift that they are born with, such as oracles that can scry the future. Other times, it is as a result of genetical tampering in an attempt to creature super soldiers. More rarely is it that a paragon awakens their ability on the seas, as a result of a strong conviction.

Paragons are typically colored by the type of gift that they've been granted, though this isn't necessarily good or bad. Fire and heat, for instance, tend to represent passion, so a valiant protector of the weak and an ambitious, ruthless conqueror could both end up drawing on this power.

Burning Passion

Paragons who hold a burning passion, love or ambition within their soul can manifest it as a blazing heat, scorching their enemies when they strike them. Typically, these paragons are born defenders who will protect their crews and ideals with their lives, fearless in their fight against those who would seek to harm their friends.

Fiery Soul

Beginning when you unlock this ardent soul at 1st level, you gain resistance to fire damage and can tolerate temperatures as high as 200 degrees without additional protection. Additionally, you gain the produce flame trick.

Ardent Creations

You gain the following ardent creations at specific paragon levels. They count as paragon creations for you, and you always have these creations prepared, though they do not count towards the number of creations you can prepare.

Ardent Creations

Paragon Level	Creation
2nd	burning hands, hellish rebuke
5th	flaming sphere, heat metal
9th	beacon of hope, fireball

Channel Conviction

At 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Conviction options.

Manifest Soul. As an action, you can manifest the element of your soul around a weapon. A limb used for unarmed strikes is a viable option. For 1 minute, your weapon attacks and creations ignore any resistance to fire damage.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Soul Burn. As an action, your flames burns bright to banish despair. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet gains 2d6 + your paragon level in temporary hit points, and while a creature has these temporary hit points, it has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Aura of Devotion

Starting at 7th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you can’t be charmed while you are conscious.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Heroic Rush

At 15th level, when an ally is forced to make a saving throw to avoid an area effect such as a fireball creation, you can use your reaction to move up to your speed towards the ally. If this movement brings you within 5 feet of the ally, you can touch the ally and teleport it a number of feet equal to your speed. The ally automatically succeeds on its saving throw and if it would normally take half damage on a successful save, it instead takes no damage. You must then make the saving throw against the effect as normal.

Dashing Saviour

At 20th level, you can clad yourself in flames, becoming a beacon of protection to your allies. As a bonus action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You are immune to fire damage.
• You shed bright light in a 30 feet radius, and dim light for another 30 feet.
• When a creature starts its turn in this bright light, you can choose to deal 10 points of fire damage to it.
• When you use Heroic Rush, you can target a number of creatures equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of two) instead of just one. This additional creature could be yourself.

Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level creation slot to use it again.

Caustic Spite

Paragons of prejudice, envy or malice can manifest their soul as corrosive acid that eats away at their enemy's defenses. Despite their caustic nature, some of these paragons develop a strong rapport with a few close friends nonetheless. These paragons typically treat their friends with adoring and doting affection, but turn around on a leaf to face their enemies with cruel and malignant glee.

Corrosive Soul

Beginning when you unlock this ardent soul at 1st level, you gain resistance to acid damage. You also learn the acid splash trick if you don't already know it.

Ardent Creations

You gain the following ardent creations at specific paragon levels. They count as paragon creations for you, and you always have these creations prepared, though they do not count towards the number of creations you can prepare.

Spiteful Corrosion. When you deal acid damage to a creature, you can use Channel Conviction to create a sticky substance that lingers and corrodes their defenses. For 1 minute, the creature's armor class is reduced by -2. The creature can use an action on its turn to make a Strength check against your creation DC, and on a successful check it manages to scrape off the acid and end this effect.

Aura of Spite

Starting at 7th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have advantage on opportunity attacks, and can make opportunity attacks when a creature moves out of your reach even if the creature has taken the Disengage action, while you are conscious.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Corrosive Defenses

Starting at 15th level, you are always coated in small amounts of acid. Whenever a creature hits you with a melee attack, it takes acid damage equal to your Charisma modifier.

Spiteful Destroyer

At 20th level, you can coat yourself in acid to become an avatar of destruction. As a bonus action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You are immune to acid damage.
• When you hit with a weapon attack, any non-imbued armor or shield the target is wearing suffers a permanent -1 reduction to its AC. The reduction is cumulative, and if the item's AC is reduced to 0, or by -5 or more, it is permanently destroyed.
• The damage from your Corrosive Defenses is doubled for the duration, and ignores resistance and immunity to acid damage.

Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level creation slot to use it again.

Cold Indifference

Paragons whose hearts are distant to the world, who keep their feelings shut away from others, may manifest the icy cold embrace of winter around them. Those who break past their icy shells will find stout allies who can approach any problem with a level head and cool rationality.

Channel Conviction

At 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Conviction options.

Manifest Soul. As an action, you can manifest the element of your soul around a weapon. A limb used for unarmed strikes is a viable option. For 1 minute, your weapon attacks and creations ignore any resistance to cold damage.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Touch of Winter. As an action, you can use your Channel Conviction to instantly freeze the surrounding area. The area within 20 feet of you becomes difficult terrain for creatures other than you as jagged ice spreads across it. If you touch a body of water, you instantly freeze the surface and as deep as 10 feet of the water. Any creature occupying this space is pushed to nearest unfrozen square. The ice remains for 1 minute until it thaws.

Aura of Winter

Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level creation slot to use it again.

Fulminating Glee

Paragons who have little care for anything but fun in the world tend to be sparking with energy, which appears as jolts of lightning shooting from their bodies. At their best, they are bundles of infectious joy. At their worst, they are arrogant bullies who care only for their own enjoyment.

Ardent Creations

You gain the following ardent creations at specific paragon levels. They count as paragon creations for you, and you always have these creations prepared, though they do not count towards the number of creations you can prepare.

Mocking Gadfly. As a bonus action, you can use your Channel Conviction to begin a mocking tirade at a creature. The creature then has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you for 1 minute. For 1 minute, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to target a different creature with this feature, and when you do so this effect ends on the original creature.

Aura of Freedom

Starting at 7th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have advantage on saving throws against being paralyzed or restrained, and ignore non-created difficult terrain, while you are conscious.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Lightning Reflexes

Mindful Insight

These paragons differ from others in that their emotional state doesn't manifest as vigorously as it does for others.

You can impose disadvantage on the attack roll, or grant the ally advantage on the saving throw. If you impose disadvantage, the target must additionally subtract your Charisma modifier (minimum of one) from its roll. If you grant advantage, the ally may add your Charisma modifier (minimum of one) to its roll.

Working Routine. You can use your Channel Conviction to grant yourself the ability to use any paragon creations you know as routines for 8 hours.

Aura of Warding

Starting at 7th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have resistance to the damage of creations while you are conscious.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Exposing Smite

Beginning at 15th level, when you deal damage to a creature with Ardent Smite, you scry its mind for weaknesses. The next attack made against the target by a creature other than you then has advantage.

Fateweaver

At 20th level, you can ascend to a higher state of mind. As a bonus action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You are immune to psychic damage.
• Attack rolls against you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on all saving throws.
• Immediately when you activate this feature, roll two d20, called fate dice, and record the rolls. At any point before the transformation ends, you can replace any d20 roll made by a creature you can see with one of these fate dice. You can only do this once per turn, and any unused fate dice disappear at the end of the transformation.

Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level creation slot to use it again.

Necrotic Mania

Paragons who go off the deep end; who lose themselves to negative emotions of obsession, despondency and hate, sometimes find their powers change with their mental state. A degenerative energy surrounds them, which destroys everything they touch. While not all these paragons are evil, it becomes all too easy for them to lose track of what they once cherished, replaced only by a relentless obsession with achieving their ambitions and destroying their enemies.

Scornful Soul

Beginning when you unlock this ardent soul at 1st level, you gain resistance to necrotic damage. You also learn the chill touch trick if you don't already know it.

Ardent Creations

You gain the following ardent creations at specific paragon levels. They count as paragon creations for you, and you always have these creations prepared, though they do not count towards the number of creations you can prepare.

Ardent Creations

Paragon Level	Creation
2nd	hex, inflict wounds
5th	darkness, ray of enfeeblement
9th	fear, vampiric touch
13th	blight, shadow of moil^
17th	enervation^, negative energy flood^

Channel Conviction

At 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Conviction options.

Consuming Gloom. As an action, you can manifest the element of your soul around a weapon. A limb used for unarmed strikes is a viable option. For 1 minute, all bright light within 20 feet of the weapon becomes dim light, and dim light becomes darkness, and you can add your Charisma modifier (minimum of one) to the attack rolls you make with the weapon. Additionally, you can see normally in all forms of darkness for the duration.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Feed on Despair. As an action, you can gorge yourself on the suffering and pain of your enemies. Each creature of your choice within 20 feet of you must make a Charisma saving throw, taking 2d6 + your exemplar level necrotic damage on a failed save and half as much on a success. You then gain temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt to one of these creatures.

Aura of Cruelty

Beginning at 7th level, you become surrounded by negative energy. While you are conscious, creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you cannot regain hit points, and when a creature dies within this aura, you regain hit points equal to its challenge rating. A creature with a CR lower than 1 counts as 0 for the purpose of this feature.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Merciless Display

Starting at 15th level, you can channel hate into dreadful displays of cruelty when you strike down your enemies.

When you score a critical hit against a creature or reduce it to 0 hit points, you can force each creature within 20 feet that can see you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your creation save DC. On a failed save, a creature is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once) and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Creature of Scorn

Starting at 20th level, you can completely give in to the darkness within your heart and transform into a fiendish creature of hate. As a bonus action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• Your attack rolls score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
• You have advantage on weapon attacks against creatures that are missing any of their hit points.
• Once per turn when you deal necrotic damage to a creature, you can choose to gain an equal number of temporary hit points, which last until the start of your next turn.

Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level creation slot to use it again.

Radiant Superiority

Paragons are a special breed, and this is something a few of them realize early. Fueled by their own pride and feelings of superiority, some paragons can harness a blazing light at their beck and call. Almost regal in their appearence, these paragons can be anything from noble defenders to vain tyrants.

Shining Soul

Beginning when you unlock this ardent soul at 1st level, you gain resistance to radiant damage. You also learn the light trick if you don't already know it.

Ardent Creations

You gain the following ardent creations at specific paragon levels. They count as paragon creations for you, and you always have these creations prepared, though they do not count towards the number of creations you can prepare.

Ardent Creations

Channel Conviction

At 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Conviction options.

Blazing Light. As an action, you can manifest the element of your soul around a weapon. A limb used for unarmed strikes is a viable option. For 1 minute, your weapon sheds bright light in a 20 feet radius and dim light for another 20 feet, and you can add your Charisma modifier (minimum of one) to the attack rolls you make with the weapon.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Commanding Presence. You can use your Channel Conviction to exude a presence of majesty. As an action, you force each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes charmed or frightened of you for 1 minute (your choice). You choose the same condition for each creature. A creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Aura of Elegance

Starting at 7th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you cannot be knocked prone or moved against your will while you are conscious.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Blinding Flare

Beginning at 15th level, you can blind enemies when you strike them with radiant energies.

When you deal radiant damage to a creature, you can force it to make a Constitution saving throw against your creation save DC. On a failed save, the creature is blinded until the end of its next turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once) and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Absolute Authority

At 20th level, you can wreathe yourself in light to become a being of perfection. As a bonus action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• Once when you miss with a weapon or creation attack on your turn, you can reroll the attack and must use the new roll.
• When a creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to rebuke it, pushing it up to 10 feet away from you.
• When a creature moves into or starts its turn within your Aura of Elegance, it must make a Wisdom saving throw or immediately fall prone, kneeling to your majesty, and cannot stand up from prone until the start of its next turn or until it is no longer in your Aura of Elegance. A creature charmed or frightened by you has disadvantage on this saving throw.

Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level creation slot to use it again.

Thundering Resolve

Paragons who stand tall in the face of any foe, and respond to the greatest threat with a defiant roar, channel a thundering resolve in their strikes. Echoing shockwaves color their attacks and send enemies flying. The good among them are stalwart protectors who put their foot between ally and enemy and draw a target on their own back, while the less reputable are ruthless conquerors who take what they want and crush anyone that stands in their way.

Echoing Soul

Beginning when you unlock this ardent soul at 1st level, you gain resistance to thunder damage. You also learn the thunderclap trick if you don't already know it.

Ardent Creations

You gain the following ardent creations at specific paragon levels. They count as paragon creations for you, and you always have these creations prepared, though they do not count towards the number of creations you can prepare.

Ardent Creations

Paragon Level	Creation
2nd	compelled duel, thunderwave
5th	shatter, warding bond
9th	erupting earth^, thunder step^
13th	staggering smite, stoneskin

Channel Conviction

At 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Conviction options.

Echoing Rebuke. As a reaction when a creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use Channel Conviction grant yourself resistance to all the damage dealt. The attacking creature must then succeed on a Constitution saving throw or suffer an equal amount of thunder damage (after calculating for resistance).

Reverberating Smite. When you hit with a melee attack and use your Ardent Smite, you can use your Channel Conviction to make the shockwave reverberate across an area. Each creature of your choice within 15 feet of your target must make a Strength saving throw, suffering the damage of your Ardent Smite on a failed save, and half as much on a success. On a failed save, a creature is additionally pulled up to 10 feet to an empty square within 5 feet of you.

Aura of Tenacity

Beginning at 7th level, you emit an aura of imposing strength. Creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you while you are conscious.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Tenacious Defenses

Starting at 15th level, your resilience rises to new heights. Any damage you suffer is reduced by an amount equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 0). This reduction can only happen once per instance of damage.

Icon of Strength

Starting at 20th level, you can transform into a behemoth of strength. As a bonus action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You are blessed with indomitable toughness, granting resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.
• You cannot be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, stunned, knocked prone or moved against your will.
• Your steps reverberate with crippling shockwaves, causing the ground within 15 feet of you to be difficult terrain for creatures of your choice.

Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level creation slot to use it again.

Venomous Duality

Paragons who are uncertain in their path, or doubtful of themselves, manifest their soul with the duality of medicine and poison. The difference between a life-saving remedy and a lethal dose of poison rests on a razor's edge, and like their powers these paragons exist on both sides of the blade. Some are insightful and calm, weighing all options they have before a decision. Others are volatile and uncertain, letting their guts decide on which path to take at all times.

Miasmic Soul

Beginning when you unlock this ardent soul at 1st level, you gain immunity to the poisoned condition, and resistance to poison damage. Additionally, you learn the poison spray trick if you don't already know it.

Ardent Creations

You gain the following ardent creations at specific paragon levels. They count as paragon creations for you, and you always have these creations prepared, though they do not count towards the number of creations you can prepare.

Ardent Creations

Paragon Level	Creation
2nd	cure wounds, ray of sickness
5th	lesser restoration, ray of enfeeblement
9th	aura of vitality, revivify
13th	aura of purity, blight
17th	cloudkill, mass cure wounds

Channel Conviction

At 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Conviction options.

Manifest Soul. As an action, you can manifest the element of your soul around a weapon. A limb used for unarmed strikes is a viable option. For 1 minute, your weapon attacks and creations ignore any resistance to poison damage.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Antivenom. As an action, you can touch a willing creature and use your Channel Conviction to absorb any poison or disease inflicting them from their body. Alternatively, you can use your Channel Conviction to inhale any airborne poison in a 20-foot sphere centered on you. The creature or air is cleared of any poison, and you gain temporary hit points equal to the DC of the poison or disease.

Toxic Aura

Starting at 7th level, an invisible, poisonous aura extends 10 feet out from you when you are not incapacitated, but not through full cover. At the start of your turn, creatures of your choice within this aura take poison damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one).

Transmutating Anodyne

Beginning at 15th level, you can control the potency of your poisons, turning lethal toxin into soothing medicant.

As an action on your turn, you invert the poison of your Toxic Aura. Creatures of your choice within the aura gain temporary hit points equal to 2d6 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). You then lose the benefits of your Toxic Aura until it reforms at the end of your next turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once) and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Cloak of Miasma

At 20th level, you can summon a cloud of potent poison to surround you. As a bonus action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You and friendly creatures within your Toxic Aura gain immunity to poison damage and the poisoned condition.
• When a creature moves into or starts its turn within your Toxic Aura, it must immediately succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until it leaves the aura.
• You don't lose access to your Toxic Aura after using Transmuting Anodyne, and you can use it as a bonus action on your turn instead of an action.

Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level creation slot to use it again.

• (a) a rapier or (b) a shortsword
• (a) a shortbow and quiver of 20 arrows or (b) a shortsword
• (a) a burglar's pack, (b) a dungeoneer's pack, or (c) an explorer's pack

At 1st Level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with thieves’ tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.

At 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with thieves’ tools) to gain this benefit.

Sneak Attack

Beginning at 1st Level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the atta⁠ck roll. The atta⁠ck must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.

You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attac⁠k roll.

The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.

Thieves' Cant

During your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a Secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message⁠ than it does to speak the same idea plainly.

In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

Cunning Action

Starting at 2nd Level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Roguish Archetype

At 3rd Level, you choose an archetype that you emulate in the exercise of your rogue abilities: Seeker, Sawbones and Thief are detailed at the end of the class description. Assassin can be found in chapter 3 of the player's handbook, while Inquisitive, Mastermind, Scout and Swashbuckler can be found in chapter 1 of Xanathar's Guide to Everything.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th Level, and again at 8th, 10th, 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 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 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a fireball creation. 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.

Reliable Talent

By 11th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

Blindsense

Starting at 14th level, if you are able to hear, you are aware of the location of any hidden or invisible creature within 10 feet of you.

Slippery Mind

By 15th level, you have acquired greater mental strength. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.

Elusive

Beginning at 18th level, you are so evasive that attackers rarely gain the upper hand against you. No attack roll has advantage against you while you aren’t incapacitated.

Stroke of Luck

At 20th level, you have an uncanny knack for succeeding when you need to. If your attack misses a target within range, you can turn the miss into a hit. Alternatively, if you fail an ability check, you can treat The D20 roll as a 20.

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

Roguish Archetypes

Rogues have many features in com⁠mon, including their emphasis on perfecting their skills, their precise and deadly approach to combat, and their increasingly quick reflexes. But different rogues steer those talents in varying directions, embodied by the rogue archetypes. Your choice of archetype is a reflection of your focus - not necessarily an indication of your chosen profession, but a description of your preferred techniques.

Seeker

Seekers are rogues who see little value in gold or power. Their treasure is that of knowledge, being pursuers of ancient secrets and knowledge hidden away in forgotten corners of the world, sometimes for centuries.

Daring adventurers, seekers brave the dangers of the world, not only from the ancient temples they explore but also from those who wish to keep the secrets of the past hidden. They excel at gathering information and have a vast array of knowledge at their disposal.

Well Read

When you choose this subclass at 3rd level, you become proficient in the History and Investigation skills if you aren't already, and can double you proficiency bonus for any ability check made with either of these skills.

Keen Strikes

Beginning at 3rd level, you can make calculated strikes with precise weapon, relying on your keen intellect over brute force or manual dexterity. You can use your Intelligence modifier, rather than Dexterity, when attacking with a ranged weapon or a melee weapon that has the finesse property.

Additionally, you can study different types of creatures or scry your memory for any pertinent information over the course of a long rest. At the end of the rest, choose a number of creature types equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). You do not require advantage on the attack roll to gain your sneak attack damage against the chosen creature types. You do not gain this benefit if you have disadvantage on the attack roll.

You can change the chosen creature types whenever you finish a long rest.

Rational Mind

Starting at 9th level, a rational thought process and the ability to keep a cool head grants you advantage on initiative rolls, and on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

Mindful Evasion

Starting at 13th level, your mental acuity allow you block out harmful effects affecting your mind and body. When you are subjected to an effect that forces you to make an Intelligence or Wisdom 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.

Unmatched Erudition

Beginning at 17th level, your intellect aids you in all endeavors, whether mental or physical. You can add your Intelligence modifier to any ability check or saving throw you make that doesn't already use your Intelligence modifier.

Thief

You hone your skills in the larcenous arts. Burglars, bandits, cutpurses, and other criminals typically follow this archetype, but so do rogues who prefer to think of themselves as professional treasure hunters, explorers, delvers, and investigators. In addition to improving your agility and stealth⁠, you learn skills useful for delving into ancient ruins and "securing" rare treasure.

Fast Hands

Starting at 3rd Level, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check, use your thieves’ tools to disarm a trap or open a lock, or take the Use an Object action.

Second-story Work

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed.

In addition, when you make a running jump, the distance you cover increases by a number of feet equal to your Dexterity modifier.

Supreme Sneak

Starting at 9th level, you have advantage on a Dexterity (Stealth) check if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn.

Uncatchable

Starting at 13th level, when you take the Disengage action, your speed increases by 15 feet until the end of the turn. Additionally, you can escape from any non-created restraints by using 5 feets of your movement on your turn.

Thief's Reflexes

When you reach 17th level, you have become adept at laying ambushes and quickly escaping danger. You can take two turns during the first round of any combat. You take your first turn at your normal initiative and your second turn at your initiative minus 10. You can’t use this feature when you are surprised.

Assassin

The Assassin archetype is a viable choice that appears in the player's handbook. It is a suitable choice for stealthy killers who work from the shadows, pirates that rely on subterfuge. With this subclass, you become a silent killer who can disappear in a crowd and strike down enemies before they even know what hit them, wielding deadly abilities like the following:

• Additional proficiencies, mastering the use of disguises and poisons.
• Extremely lethal first strikes against creatures, especially if you get the drop on them.
• The ability to craft an entire secondary identity to live a double life as someone completely else, even another person that may or may not be alive anymore.

Inquisitive

The Inquisitive archetype is a viable choice that appears in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. It is a suitable choice for marine investigators or bounty hunters that take a slower and calculated approach to their job. With this subclass, you become an expert at rooting out the truth, whether through careful observation or interaction with other creatures, reading them like open books with abilities like the following:

• The uncanny ability to see through deception and masquerade, unveiling hidden traps and enemy tricks with ease.
• An unerring eye that finds weaknesses in the enemy defenses, allowing you to use your sneak attack without the need for allies or advantage.
• The opportunity to take a slow and steady approach to take in the environment, gaining advantage on spotting traps and secrets.

Mastermind

The Mastermind archetype is a viable choice that appears in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. It is a suitable choice for spies and plotters, including cunning pirate captains who thrive on guile and scheming. With this subclass, you become a master at manipulating others to your own gain and gathering information on them. Outsmart and outmaneuver your foes with abilities like the following:

• The ability to aid allies with an extended use of your Cunning Action, granting them advantage instead of yourself.
• A plethora of versatile proficiencies in everything from disguises to gaming sets and mimicry to truly blend into a crowd.
• The ability to read a creature's mental aptitude and skillset from nothing but a few minutes of conversation.
• Complete mastery over lies and trickery, allowing you to turn fumbling foes into their own worst enemy while appearing completely innocent yourself.

Scout

The Scout archetype is a viable choice that appears in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. It is a suitable choice for outlanders and lookouts who aid their crew with keen eyes and quick feet. With this subclass, you become a mobile skirmisher that weaves through the battlefield like a greased lightning and cut an opening for the rest of the crew. Overwhelm your enemies and blaze the trail with abilities like the following:

• Additional expertise in skills meant for exploration and travel
• Unmatched mobility among all rogues, able to slink away from enemies without them having a sigh at stopping you.
• A higher chance to act first in combat, and the ability to spot enemies for your crew to focus on.
• A celerity that lets you sneak in two sneak attacks against two different enemies in the blink of an eye.

Swashbuckler

The Swashbuckler archetype is a viable choice that appears in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. It is nothing short of the archetypical pirate, who swings into battle with rakish audacity and no fear. With this subclass, you earn your sea legs properly and become a master at dueling, using fleet footwork and daring speed to dance circles around enemies with abilities like the following:

• The panache to challenge enemies to one on one duels, where your confidence lets you use your sneak attack without the need for allies or advantage. Eventually, you can throw the gauntlet and make sure your enemy steps up to the challenge properly.
• Fancy footwork and quick feet let you weave between blades without giving an opportunity to strike you as you single out your dance partner.
• Using your Cunning Action, you can now grant yourself advantage on any daring stunt you aim to undertake, swinging from the mast to the deck with complete confidence.
• The leading star never messes up as you turn a missed hit into nothing but a cinematic feint, weaving around for a second strike in a moment afterwards.

• (a) a heavy longcoat or (b) leather armor or (c) chain mail (if proficient)
• (a) a blunderbuss and 20 bullets or (b) any simple weapon
• (a) a priest's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
• a shield and a memento

Creativity (Spellcasting)

Your sagacious endeavours have granted you power such that your techniques and words alone can create effects that seem magical to the common man. See the medic creation list under "Sage Creations by Level". (Creativity is synonymous with 5th edition Spellcasting. See "Casting a Spell" in the Player's Handbook for the general rules of Spellcasting in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition).

Tricks (Cantrips)

At 1st level, you know two tricks of your choice from the sage creations list. You learn additional sage tricks of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Tricks Known column of the Sage table.

Preparing and Using Creations (Preparing and Casting Spells)

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

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

For example, if you are a 3rd-level sage, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level creation slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared creations can include six creations⁠ of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level creation bless, you can use it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Using the creation doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared creations⁠.

You can also change your list of prepared creations when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of sage creations⁠ requires time spent meditating: at least 1 minute per creation level for each creation on your list.

Creative⁠ Ability (Spellcasting Ability)

Wisdom is your creative ability for your sage creations. You draw your power from enlightened understanding of the world around you. You use your Wisdom whenever a creation refers to your creative⁠ ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting⁠ the saving throw DC for a sage creation you use and when making an attack roll with one.

Creation save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Creation Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Routine Usage (Ritual Casting)

You can use any sage creation you know as a routine if that creation has the routine tag.

Apparatus (Spellcasting Focus)

You can use a memento as an apparatus for your sage creations.

Philosophical Domain

Choose a domain related to your philosophical beliefs and conviction: Ocean, Battle, Land or Dawn. Your choice grants you additional domain creations and features at 1st level, additional ways to use your Channel Conviction at 2nd level, and more benefits at 6th, 8th and 17th level.

Domain Creations

Each domain has a list of creations — its domain creations — that you gain at the sage levels noted in the domain description. Once you gain a domain creation, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of creations you can prepare each day.

If you have a domain creation that doesn’t appear on the sage creation list, the creation is nonetheless a sage creation for you.

Channel Conviction

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to channel powerful energy directly from your philosophical beliefs and conviction, using that energy to fuel fantastic effects. You start with two such effects: Turn Beasts and an effect determined by your domain. Some domains grant you additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description.

When you use your channel conviction, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your channel conviction again.

Some channel conviction effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your sage creation save DC.

Beginning at 6th level, you can use your channel conviction twice between rests, and beginning at 18th level, you can use it three times between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses.

Turn Beasts

As an action, you take hold of your memento and radiate a primal presence that terrify beasts relying on instinct. Each beast that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge 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.

Defeat Beasts

Starting at 5th level, when a beast⁠ fails its saving throw against your Turn Beasts feature, the creature immediately falls unconscious and cannot be woken up for 8 hours if its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the Defeat Beasts table.

Defeat Beasts

Sage Level	Defeats Beasts of CR...
5th	1/2 or lower
8th	1 or lower
11th	2 or lower
14th	3 or lower
17th	4 or lower

Twist Fate

Beginning at 10th level, you can call on an inner power to change the tides of battle and perform heroic acts that defy all logic and sense.

Attempting to change the course of fate requires an action. Describe the results you seek, and roll percentile dice. If you roll equal to or lower than your sage level, you succeed at twisting fate. Your DM chooses the nature of the change; the effects of any sage creation or domain creation would be appropriate.

If you manage to twist fate, you then cannot do so again for 7 days. Otherwise, you can use this feature again after you finish a long rest.

At 20th level, your attempt to twist fate automatically succeeds, no roll required.

Philosophical Domain

Sages draw their power not only from physical strength and martial superiority, but also from philosophies that lie behind their chosen martial art. Their sagacious creativity is born from a burning desire to understand the reasons why they seek mastery, not merely how to. From the fishman karate masters of the ocean domain to the swordmasters of the battle domain, sages are defined by their mastery of their mental self as much as their physical self, which allow them to draw upon power that splits the land and wakes the heavens with their techniques.

Ocean Domain

The ocean domain is the domain of the sea, to which all pirates swear themselves in pursuit of their dreams. The ocean represents absolute freedom and the dreams of men and women from all walks of life. It is the place where boundaries are shattered and the only laws are the codes of those who sail upon it.

Most sages of the ocean domain practice some form of fishman or merfolk martial arts, and use water itself as a fuel for their creations. While naturally more popular among fishmen, it is not unheard of for humans and other races who travel upon the open sea to adhere to this domain as well.

Domain Creations

Sage Level	Creation
1st	create or destroy water, thunderwave
3rd	misty step, shatter

Channel Conviction: Tidebreaker

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Conviction to maximize the damage dealt by your martial creations.

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your attacks with surrounding moisture. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 cold damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Improved Ebb and Flow

Starting at 17th level, you have advantage on attack rolls against creatures you have grappled, and those creatures have disadvantage on Strength, Dexterity and Constitution saving throws against your creations.

Additionally, you can now attempt to grapple and shove creatures that are up to three sizes larger than you.

Battle Domain

The battle domain encompasses war in all its forms. Struggle and conflict are unavoidable in life, especially so for those who brave the seas. Whether fighting for freedom or for justice, one cannot hope to achieve victory from strength alone, but must learn to draw wisdom from each battle fought, and doubly so where one might fail.

Sages of the battle domain are martial artists who split their focus between martial prowess and superhuman feats and techniques. Their creations are rarely physical creations, but extensions of their martial ability and skill. Their steps can sunder stone, and their blades can send cutting waves reaving across the battlefield.

Domain Creations

Sage Level	Creation
1st	earth tremor^, zephyr strike^

This damage cannot be resisted or reduced in any way except with certain Haki feats.

Channel Conviction: Guided Strike

Starting at 6th level, you can use your Channel Conviction to guide an attack with supernatural accuracy. When you or another creature within 30 feet make an attack roll, you can use your Channel Conviction to grant the attacker a +10 bonus to the roll. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the attack hits or misses.

Imbued Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your attacks with the essence of warfare. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the same type as the weapon used to make the attack to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Enlightened Warrior

Beginning at 17th level, when you use your action to use a creation or Channel Conviction, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

Land Domain

The land represents history and the legacy left behind. Like the passage of time, it is inexorable and steadfast, with sages of this domain caught in endless debate over what history should be kept for future generations, and what is too dangerous to be allowed to remain.

The creations of these sages often come in the form of vast knowledge and words of wisdom. A sharp eye for detail and scathing criticism that cut like blades through enemies, and encouraging counsel for allies.

Starting at 2nd level, you can scry your brain for any pertinent information to ensure that you succeed when you need to.

When you make an Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma ability check, you can use Channel Conviction to grant yourself a +10 bonus to your roll. You can do this after seeing the roll, but before knowing the outcome of the check.

Unraveling Word

Beginning at 6th level, your quick wit can save allies in a pinch and hinder your enemies. When you or a creature within 30 feet of you is the target of an attack, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll.

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

Potent Creativity

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any sage trick.

Scathing Censure

Starting at 17th level, when you use Unraveling Word, the attacking creature now deals only half damage with its attack even if it hits. Additionally, you now regain all uses of Unraveling Word when you finish a short or long rest.

Dawn Domain

The dawn domain represents hope and dreams. It is the unfettered sky of endless possibilities, and sages of this domain seek freedom above all else. Not necessarily only for themselves, but for all people across the four seas.

The creations of these sages are typically brought on by their infectious personalities. Their earnest words carry weight that the normal man could never muster, and can inspire all kinds of adventurous souls to take up arms and fight for a brighter future.

Domain Creations

Sage Level	Creation
1st	bless, healing word
3rd	aid, lesser restoration

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Conviction to rally your allies with bursting vitality.

At 6th level, you can use your Channel Conviction to empower yourself and your allies in your darkest moments.

Potent Creativity

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any sage trick.

Dawnbringer

Beginning at 17th level, you gain immunity to the charmed and frightened conditions, and when you restore hit points to a creature with a creation of 1st level or higher, that creature can additionally remove any effect that causes it to be charmed, frightened or stunned. Additionally, if the creature's hit point maximum has been reduced, you restore a number of these missing hit points equal to your sage level.

Chapter 3: Characters, Roles and Dreams

Characters in the world of One Piece are not defined by their origins or past, but by their dreams and aspirations. It doesn't matter if a character is born among the privileged nobility, as the son of a great pirate or as the heir to a marine hero if their dream draws them towards a horizon away from where their blood would suggest they search for it.

When creating a character, consider what role on a ship that you imagine they would fill, and what they have done up to this point working towards that goal. Also consider why they are working towards; what ambition drives them out to sea? What dreams do they have that won't be fulfilled by staying put in their hometown? How do they interact when faced with the dreams of others, whether those align or clash with their own ideals?

Dreams

Everyone has dreams, wether they are humble and simple or grand and ambitious. A character's dream should be unique to them and act as the ultimate endgoal for their story.

A dream can be a simple desire to possess something, or a more diffuse ideal that a character is chasing. Whatever it may be, it goes beyond a simple ambition or goal; a dream is something that defines a character as a person, something they are willing to risk their life or even die for.

Each role have a few suggested dreams appropriate to the role, however work with your DM to determine exactly what motivates your character to seek adventure on the open seas of the world of One Piece.

Roles

A ship cannot brave the open sea and much less the Grand Line if it does not have a crew of diverse skills and abilities to maintain it. A character's role on the ship is as, if not even more important than their class.

By assembling a crew of different roles, a captain can bring a ship on grand adventures without worrying about the little details on the way. Each role fills a necessary role to survive the Grand Line, but the most important roles to cover are captain, navigator, doctor and shipwright. If the endgoal is to find the One Piece, a scholar will be required as well.

Captain

Perhaps the most important role to fill on a ship is the captain. As a captain, you set the course of the ship you're sailing and spearhead your crew into adventure ahead.

Your most valuable power isn't your strength in combat, though it's typically above average, but rather your ability to inspire and lead others. As a captain, the lives of your entire crew rest upon your shoulders and your duty towards them comes second to none.

Feature: Force of Personality

You have an unmistakable presence that is felt by all those around you.

People and creatures that you meet with are more likely to be ameniable and forthcoming, even if they don't understand why. Whether it is because of dread at your reputation or fascination because of your nature, common folk are more willing to lend you their ear and even aid as long as you do not show yourself openly hostile to them. Additionally, wild beasts and monsters are less likely to be directly hostile towards you, and if they are hostile they are more likely to avoid you than seek a confrontation, feeling that you are their superior.

Lastly, you have the potential to unlock the mythical power of Conqueror's Haki, and can pick Haki feats listed as Conqueror's Haki when you reach certain character levels.

4	The world government is a scourge on the free world and must be torn down from their thrones.
5	I want to create a better world for everyone, free from aristocracy and oppression.
6	I will create the greatest armada that the world has ever seen.

Cook

The cook of the ship is tasked with providing good food and drink to the crew, as well as look after their pantry and make sure what food they have will last them from island to island.

While anyone can throw together a basic meal, only a cook can create the kind of food that makes a pirate's heart sing with courage and vigor. They keep their crewmates content and happy with their food, allowing them to focus their effort on their own matters instead.

• Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from History, Nature, Persuasion, Performance, Sleight of Hand or Survival
• Tool Proficiencies: Cook's Utensils
• Equipment: A set of common clothes, cook's utensils, a knife kit consisting of 3 chef knives that can be used as daggers, and a pouch containing 50 000 beri

Feature: Kitchen Artisan

As a trained cook, you've learned to use every last bit and scrap of raw ingredients to create filling and satisfying meals. While on a ship, you and your crew require only half as many rations and half as much water as you normally would to gain enough nourishment for a day.

Additionally, knowing what constitutes for food also makes it easier for you to gather sustenance for allies. Given that game animals, vegetables or fruits are available, you can always find food for yourself and up to five people that will last the day if you're given the time to hunt or forage.

Additionally, you can learn "attack cuisine" recipies, a secret form of cuisine taught in the Kamabakka kingdom. Secrets of it occasionally drift onto sea, but only those dedicated to culinary arts can hope to master this cuisine.

Variant Feature: Bonus Feat

You gain one of the following feats of your choice:

• Elemental Attack (Pg. 97)
• Exemplar (Pg. 97)

d6	Dream
1	There's a mythical sea called the "All Blue" where fish from all oceans swim. I want to find it one day.
2	I want to create the perfect dish.
3	I wish to master all 99 recipies of the so called "Attack Cuisine".
4	There are so many strange, rare creatures in the world. I want to cook a meal with every ingredient possible.
5	I want to create my own restaurant that serves food that can't be found anywhere else.
6	There is a single, mythical ingredient somewhere in the world that noone has mastered. I will be the first.

Deckhand

A deckhand's role is much less defined than some of the others, however when push comes to shove they can prove to be the most valuable member of a crew.

Deckhands are jack-of-all-trades that add a great deal of versatility and utility to the crew by helping out with other roles. While the rarely excel in any particular area, they know a little bit about everything which makes them invaluable to any crewmember that needs a helping hand every so often.

---

• Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from Animal Handling, Deception, Engineering, Investigation, Perception or Sleight of Hand
• Tool Proficiencies: One artisan's tool kit of your choice
• Equipment: A set of common clothes, a hammer, a spyglass and a pouch containing 50 000 beri

Feature: All Hands on Deck

While you do not specialize in any particular role, specializing in performing menial tasks aboard the ship such as taking inventory, swabbing the deck, manning the cannons or acting lookout in the crow's nest.

You can always find your way around any ship you board and can move across the deck without having to make ability checks to figure out where specific rooms are.

Additionally, filling in on so many different roles makes it easy for you to pass yourself off as any of the roles. You can easily convince anyone who has no reason to distrust you that you are of a different role than your actual one, such as being the captain of a ship to gain audience with a local mayor, or claiming to be a doctor to gain access to a town's medical records.

Variant Feature: Bonus Feat

You gain one of the following feats of your choice:

• Alert (PHB)
• Creative Dilettante (Pg. 96)
• Mobile (PHB)

d6	Dream
1	I will do everything in my power to make sure my captain becomes the king/queen of the pirates.
2	One day, I want to be a legend sung about in songs of heroes.
3	I want to have the adventure of a lifetime!
4	I made a promise to a childhood friend to brave the seas, and I will keep that promise no matter what.
5	Noone believed me when I said I would sail around the world, and I aim to prove them all wrong.
6	There's a mythical island located somewhere in the New World that I want to see with my own eyes.

Doctor

At the end of the day, a pirate's life is a rough life filled with danger and hazards. Most crews cannot make it far without a doctor on deck for good reasons. A doctor's duties speak for themselves, as they're tasked with looking after their crewmates' health. A good deal of patience and kindness is oftentimes required for such a role, as pirates tend to be chaotic and free-spirited to the point of recklessness. Looking after people hellbent on putting themselves in danger can be a trying task, which is why any crew that has a good doctor tend to count themselves as lucky.

• Equipment: A set of common clothes, a herbalism kit, a stethoscope, encyclopedia on medicinal herbs and plants, and a pouch containing 50 000 beri

Feature: Routine Care

Your vigil is neverending and you're always willing and able to look after your crew to make sure they rest properly. The time and money you need to craft medicines and poisons are both halved. Additionally, while you are present on a ship, your medical professionalism prevents diseases from spreading among the crew if one of them is infected.

You can also immediately tell what common injuries and ailments a person is suffering from after a brief moment of study. If the injury or ailment is something you've never seen before, you then know where you could go to research it and find a cure, if one exists.

Variant Feature: Bonus Feat

You gain one of the following feats of your choice:

• Creative Dilettante (Pg. 96)
• Exemplar (Pg. 97)
• Healer (PHB)

Dream

A doctor's dream typically revolves around their attachment to the medical arts, whether it is to find a mythical panacea for all kinds of maladies, or a specific cure for a particularly deadly disease. Choose a dream from the table below or create your own with the help of your DM.

d6	Dream
1	An incurable disease is ravaging my homeland, and I aim to find a cure before it's too late.
2	I wish to create a miracle drug that can cure any illness or sickness.
3	I want to write my own encyclopedia on rare medical herbs and plants found all over the world.
4	A doctor once gave their life to save mine. I pursue my craft to be the best I can be, and to make them proud.
5	I want to create a hospital somewhere that can take care of any patient, no matter what illness they have come down with.
6	Honestly, I'm good if I can just keep my crew of idiots alive until we reach the next island.

First Mate

Typically the vice captain, a first mate is oftentimes an informal role on the ship, earned through merit rather than appointment. A true first mate is rarely, if ever, called as such by the crew itself.

A first mate does not always take an active managerial role on the ship, as that's not their purpose. A first mate's purpose is to give the crew direction when the captain isn't around, and to keep the captain grounded in reality. Lofty dreams and ambitions are part of a pirate's life, but if the captain falters the crew will fall apart, and the first mate's job is to prevent that from happening at any cost.

• Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from Athletics, History, Insight, Intimidation, Persuasion or Survival
• Tool Proficiencies: None
• Equipment: A set of common clothes, a simple or martial weapon of your choice and a pouch containing 100 000 beri

Feature: First Among Equals

Knowingly or not, you emit an aura of power and confidence that give others pause. As people hesitate to make enemies with you, you can usually get away with minor offenses in settlements that would normally have people shouting for the guards, such as drawing your weapon in public, refusing to pay for a service, or performing minor property damage such as breaking open a door or window. This additionally extends to your crew even if you are not physically with them, just as long as people know they are part of your crew.

Lastly, you have the potential to unlock the mythical power of Conqueror's Haki, and can pick Haki feats listed as Conqueror's Haki when you reach certain character levels.

Variant Feature: Bonus Feat

You gain one of the following feats of your choice:

Dream

d6	Dream
1	My captain's dream is my dream. I will make certain it comes true.
2	I will be the strongest fighter in the world, bar none!
3	I have a rival that I wasn't strong enough to defeat before. I must grow stronger to face them again one day.
4	I seek to master the art of fighting for the sake of someone else who cannot do so anymore.
5	I have learned of a secret technique noone has ever mastered. I will be the first one to do so.
6	Seeing my crew make it to the end of Grand Line is all I care about.

Helmsman

The helmsman of a ship is the one responsible of steering it through the storm. While the navigator charts the course and the shipwright keeps the vessel in good shape, the helmsman is the one braving the ocean waves from behind the wheel.

Helmsmen are steadfast crewmembers that typically possess great physical strength. They are tasked with keeping the ship steady through the storm and safely guide it through the sharp reefs. While anyone can attempt to steer a ship, only with a skilled helmsman can it reach its full potential and become a vessel worthy of the pirate king.

• Tool Proficiencies: Vehicles (Water)
• Equipment: A set of common clothes, a warm coat, a lucky charm and a pouch containing 100 000 beri

Ship's Guide

You have manned many ships in your time and have learned how to instantly recognize the strengths and weaknesses of a vessel under your command. When you commandeer a ship from the helm, you instantly learn all of the ship's statistics, including its current and maximum hit points, and whether its current hit point maximum has been reduced or not.

Furthermore, the many hours spent in alone at the helm has left you with an impressive fortitude. You can move across a ship's deck in any weather and under any conditions without making ability checks or saving throws as a result of moving.

Variant Feature: Bonus Feat

You gain one of the following feats of your choice:

• Alert (PHB)
• Elemental Attack (Pg. 97)
• Exemplar (Pg. 97)
• Signature Technique (Pg. 98)
• Tough (PHB)

Dream

A helmsman's dream oftentimes revolves around their own abilities. Sometimes it's as simple as wanting to pilot a ship to the ends of the world, but othertimes it appears as something more philosophical. Choose a dream from the table below or create your own with the help of your DM.

d6	Dream
1	One day, I will stand at the helm of a ship as it sails around the world.
2	I wish to master myself as I master the ship I command.
3	There is a legendary storm that noone has sailed through before. I will be the first to commandeer a ship through its waves.
4	I won't settle for a single ship, I want to sail all manners of ships in the world!
5	I've heard legends of a ship that can sail the skies to the moon and back. I want to sail it myself one day.
6	There's a ship known to revolt against its crews and refuse to be sailed. I will find it, and tame it with my own hands.

Musician

A role that is often understated and sometimes flat-out forgotten about is that of the musician. While some people would insist such a role is superfluous, any pirate worth their salt know you can't sail the open seas without laughter and music to blaze your trail.

Musicians keep their crew happy with performance, song and dance. They lift the tired spirits and weary bodies of their crewmates after gruesome fights or violent storms, revivifying them with joy and hope to carry on with their journey through any hardships they may face.

---

• Skill Proficiencies: Performance, choose one from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Deception, History or Persuasion
• Tool Proficiencies: One instrument of your choice
• Equipment: A set of common clothes, a costume, an instrument of your choice and a pouch containing 50 000 beri

Entertainer's Routine

Your musical talent lends itself well to currying favor. You can always find a place to perform in towns and settlements, such as taverns, and you and your crew can stay for free in such establishments as long as you perform there every night.

Additionally, you may eventually gain a reputation unrelated to your pirating activities, earning you fame as a skilled entertainer. When fans of your music recognize you in towns, they react favorably to seeing you and may help you in your endeavours, do not if doing so would endanger them somehow.

Variant Feature: Bonus Feat

You gain one of the following feats of your choice:

2	I wish to record the epic adventures of my crew and immortalize them through song.
3	Somewhere in the world, there is a beauty unlike any other. I wish to lay my own eyes upon it at least once.
4	Notes on a great performance are scattered around the world. I want to collect them all and recreate it in its full glory.
5	I wish to bring the joy of laughter and song to all corners of the world.
6	I fell in love with someone who set off to sea, and now I follow their trail in hopes of a reunion.

Navigator

After the captain, the navigator might be the most important role to fill on a ship. While the captain decides where to take the ship, the navigator's task is to figure out how to get there.

Being a navigator requires a level head and a quick wit, as understanding sea charts and weather conditions is entirely imperative to setting the course of a ship. The most skilled navigators can tell what the weather will be like just from a breeze in the wind or a drop of a few degrees in temperature.

Without a knowledgable navigator on board, most ships would be happy to find another harbor after setting sail, less so the one they were looking for.

• Equipment: A set of common clothes, cartographer's tools, navigator's tools, 5 blank sea charts, inkwell, quill and a pouch containing 50 000 beri

Feature: Weather Portent

As a navigator, you have an almost supernatural ability to read the weather and the sea, sometimes predicting what it will be like with uncanny accuracy.

You can always tell what the weather will be like within the next hour and always know which way is north as long as you can see the sky. Additionally, you and your crew cannot get lost as long as you have the stars or the sun to guide you.

Additionally, your expertise in charting unknown waters makes you able to tell a real map or seachart from a fake one at a glance. You also instantly know of how old a map or seachart is after studying it briefly, and whether the information it holds is still relevant or not.

Dream

A navigator's dream typically entails a desire to travel, blazing trails where noone has gone before. Choose a dream from the table below or create your own with the help of your DM.

d6	Dream
1	I wish to draw a map of the entire world.
2	There is a passage in the Grand Line said to be impossible to chart, and I aim to prove that wrong.
3	A legendary storm sweeps across the seas every 100 years. I aim to be the first one to conquer it.
4	A stranger gifted me a map of an ancient treasure, and I will not rest until I've found it.
5	I inherited an incomplete map of the New World, and promised to finish what my predecessor started.
6	I wish to chart a trade route that will span from the depths of Fishman Island to the most distant sky islands.

Scholar

Scholars are purveyor of knowledge and intrepid explorers of the forgotten past. While many are content staying in the safe confines of libraries and academies, others feel a longing call to adventure in their hearts and set sail for the Grand Line.

Scholars that board pirate ships typically do so because they're pursuing knowledge that the world government does not want them to find: The secrets of the mythical Void Century and the knowledge of how to read ancient poneglyphs found scattered around the world.

• Tool Proficiencies: Disguise kit, Forgery kit
• Equipment: A set of common clothes, a leatherbound journal, inkwell, quill and a pouch containing 100 000 beri

Feature: Pursuer of Secrets

You can read and write in poneglyphs. Scholars are close to the only people in the world that can do this, and are actively being hunted by the world government as a result. Knowing your enemy, you can immediately tell whether a town has a strong or weak marine force presence, and where in a settlement a marine base would be located, though you do not know any exact numbers stationed there.

Additionally, you are well-versed in the lore of the world. If you do not know a specific piece of information when you try to recall it, you instead know where you can learn this information if it can be found in places such as libraries, scriberies or held secret by known sages. Your DM might rule that certain information is near or completely inaccessible, or that it can only be found in one specific place that is extraordinarily difficult to reach.

3	The secrets of the past will unravel the world government, and that's exactly what I wish for.
4	I wish to find and control the ancient weapons of the world: Pluton, Poseidon and Uranus.
5	I am currently working on a chronicle of the world's history, and I need to learn everything to complete it.
6	The knowledge of the poneglyphs must be preserved, even if I have to run to the ends of the world to do so.

Shipwright

Sailing the Grand Line without a ship built by a skilled shipwright is to invite disaster and flirt with death. The waters of the Grand Line are as dangerous as the beasts that dwell beneath the surface, and only a monster of a ship could hope to conquer those waves.

Shipwrights are responsible for not only building, but also maintaining, the vessel upon which the crew sails from island to island. It is an artform that cannot be shorthanded, for shipwrights know that if their flagship does not hold water, their entire crew will go down with it.

• Tool Proficiencies: Carpenter's tools, 2 artisan's tool sets of your choice
• Equipment: A set of common clothes, a scroll case full of blueprints, carpenter's tools and a pouch containing 50 000 beri.

Feature: Craft Vessel

As a shipwright, naturally you know how to draw out the blueprints for and build a ship. Given the necessary materials, such as wood, steel and cloth, you can construct ships from scratch with enough time and the right tools at hand. Additionally, you can repair a ship that has a reduced hit point maximum, and when you repair a ship it regains twice as many hit points as it normally would (See building, maintaining and repairing your ship in Chapter 4).

Lastly, you immediately learn the quality of any raw materials you touch that are involved in ship-building, such as metals, wood and cloth, and how much any given amount of these raw materials are worth in beri.

d6	Dream
1	I wish to build a ship that can sail to the ends of the world and back again.
2	The ship of my dreams is one that can fight off 10 galleons without a scratch in the hull.
3	I dream of revolutionizing the history of shipwrighting by creating something noone has seen before.
4	Any ship can sail on water. I wish to build a ship that can sail the skies!
5	My mentor created a work of art but died before seeing it realized. I swore to make their dream a reality.
6	There exists a storm that no ship has conquered, and I intend to build the ship that could.

Chapter 4: Equipment and Items

Marketplaces exist on every island and in every city, carrying with them a wide variety of goods and sundries for the traveling adventurer. You will find fish mongers, farmers, clothes boutiques, weaponsmiths and shipwrights in just about every major port city, while smaller hamlets might only have a single general store or blacksmith available.

Merchants and traders are vital for every pirates that intends to take to the sea. Not only do they require their ship to be seaworthy and capable of holding up to the storms of the Grand Line, without a full larder and the necessary sea charts they'd be lucky to reach the next island. If they don't deal in trade, they still need there to be plentiful loot when they raid the towns.

Wealth

The main currency in the world of One Piece is known as Beri (sometimes spelled as Beli, Berry or Belly). It most commonly occurs in paper form, though coins do exist, and has no fractional unit. As such, Beli prices tend to be in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands for most adventuring gear, a low quality sword costing the aspiring swordsman around 50 000 beli.

The exchange rate between beri and regular Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition currency can be calculated from the idea that 1 beri = 1 copper coin. However, in order to have the prices check out as you scale up the coinage, the exchange rate between coins i made tenfold the standard value, as described below.

Beri Exchange Rate

Coin	Beri Equivalent
Copper (cp)	1 Beri
Silver (sp)	100 Beri
Gold (gp)	10 000 Beri

Treasure and Loot

Finding treasure and loot is, to many pirates, the very reason for their existence. Even those who seek freedom and adventure alone typically come upon some kind of treasure on their travel. Though luster of gemstones and the glitter of gold attracts the eye, it cannot fill one's belly. As such, trading in treasure for money is often as vital as finding it to begin with.

Weapons, Armor and other Equipment. Typically, weapons and armor you find as treasure or loot aren't in tip-top condition, and selling it typically only nets you half of the market value. Rare and unique finds can however be worth more than a chest full of gold, however, especially if it is a weapon with a history. Conversely, weapons and armor damaged by battle typically aren't worth much except as scrap metal.

Gems, Jewelry and Art Pieces. These types of items retain their full value when sold, making them the most valuable form of treasure in terms of monetary value. Exceptionally rare or unique pieces might be difficult to sell however, and not every merchant is scrupulous enough to offer a fair deal.

Trade Goods. While not as exciting as chests of gold and silver, sacks full of wheat and barrels of salt and freshwater are just as valuable if not more to traveling pirates, and oftentimes much easier to come upon. Most smaller towns trade in these wares more often than they use monetary transactions, and like gems and art pieces they retain their full market value when sold.

Treasure Maps and Sea Charts. Tales of buried treasure left behind by legendary pirates are abundant all across the four seas, and even a fake map can sometimes be treated like the treasure itself. Likewise, mundane maps and sea charts of distant islands or dangerous waters are invaluable to most seafarers, causing these items to maintain their full market value as well.

Expenses

Life on the seas is one of freedom from law and social classes, however it is not freedom from the need to eat and sleep. As long as you have the food, water and living space to suffice long trips, travel from island to island can be a pleasant cruise disregarding any unforseen setbacks.

Before you set off on the seas with a ship, it is important to note how much provisions you have stocked for the journey. These provisions entails more than simple rations, including cooked food, fresh water, comfortable living quarters and any utilities or specific consumables a crew might need on their trip, such as lemons to counteract scurvy. Simply calculate the number of days you aim to spend at sea and then multiply it by the amount of beri required to maintain a specific lifestyle for that time. It's generally a good idea to stock a little extra, as the seas are uncertain especially so in the Grand Line. Typically, this duty falls on the ship's cook.

For instance, if it will take 7 days to travel from one island to the next and you aim to maintain a modest lifestyle (10 000 beri per day) for a crew of 5 people, you will need 350 000 beri's worth of provisions to last you the entire trip.

Lifestyle Expenses

Lifestyle	Price/Day
Wretched	-
Squalid	500 beri
Poor	1 000 beri
Modest	10 000 beri
Comfortable	20 000 beri
Wealthy	40 000 beri
Aristocratic	100 000 beri minimum

Optional Rule: Poor Living

A Dungeon Master can choose to introduce a measure of hardship that represents the challenges of living a poor or worse lifestyle in order to add a sensation of realism and grit to their campaign.

While a crew is maintaining modest or better lifestyle conditions, they generally don't have to worry about food and water running out. Should something happen to worsen their conditions, such as losing half their provisions to a storm or lacking the money to properly stock up between voyages, then their situation gets a bit more perilous. See the table below for possible repercussions that may follow when leading a poor lifestyle or worse.

Lifestyle Repercussions

Lifestyle	Effects
Wretched	Disaster. The crew has no food or water, unless they find both elsewhere they suffer the effects of lacking food and water as described in chapter 7 of the player's handbook.
Squalid	Starvation. The crew has barely enough water to sustain themselves, but food has run out or spoiled. Unless they find food elsewhere they suffer the effects of starvation as described in chapter 7 of the player's handbook.
Poor	Rationing. Food and water is beginning to run out, forcing the crew to ration what's left. Living conditions have worsened, imposing disadvantage on all Constitution saving throws to resist disease, exhaustion or poison.

Optional Rule: Mutiny

If the party has any NPC crewmates, living for extended periods of time under poor or worse conditions can eventually cause a mutiny. When this happens, the NPC crew typically turns hostile and attempts to overthrow the current leadership, more often than not by force.

If a crew is approaching the stage of mutiny as described in the Days Before Mutiny Table below, roll a "Mutiny saving throw" which is a flat d20. The DC for the check equals 10 + 1 per number of days spent in squalid or worse conditions.

Days Before Mutiny

Lifestyle	Hirelings	Loyal Crew
Wretched	2	3
Squalid	4	5
Poor	5	7

Repeat this saving throw at the end of each day that the lifestyle conditions do not get better. The first time that the crew fails the saving throw, dissent begins to spread amongst it and one or more may choose to confront the ship's captain. When this happens, the captain or vice captain might attempt a Charisma (Intimidation) or Charisma (Persuasion) check to quell any dissent. The DC for this check equals the current Mutiny saving throw.

On a successful check, the mutiny is quelled and no further Mutiny saving throws need to be rolled for a number of days equal to the captain's or vice captain's Charisma modifier (minimum of one day). After these days have passed, if conditions haven't improved, resume rolling the Mutiny saving throws as normal. If the check fails, the crew turns hostile towards the players and might attack them.

Food, Drink and Lodging

Most pirates sleep on their ship, while many marines have a local headquarters that will provide food and lodging. However, ever so often it becomes necessary for the party to find a place to stay for the night, or simply somewhere to eat. These prices are included in your total lifestyle expenses.

Food, Drink and Lodging

Armor and Shields

In the world of One Piece, protection from all manners of harm is paramount for most adventurers. However, few pirates would consider taking to the seas in full plate armor, given the difficulty of swimming when clad in suits of steel and metal. The use of lighter armors is more widespread, not to mention more commonly available. Some additional forms of armor exist in this setting.

Navy Uniform. The navy standard uniform is made from durable cloth capable of surviving the harsh seas, though not directly designed for close-quarters combat.

Light Longcoat. Longcoats primarily made out of sturdy cloth and leather, made for comfort and ease of movement over protection. Favored by marines, each soldier earns a longcoat when they reach ensign rank or higher.

Heavy Longcoat. These longcoats are made out of thick hides or leather interlocked with pieces of metal or boiled leather for extra protection, often accompanied by ammunition belts and knife straps. Popular among pirates for the balance between protection and versatility, though the bulk can make it unwieldy to people with less physical strength.

Weapons

Weapons exist in a wide variety of forms in the world of One Piece. Firearms are commonly used, having replaced bows and crossbows as the most basic forms of ranged weaponry since the rise of gundpowder. This introduces a few additional properties on top of the ones presented in the player's handbook.

Misfire. All firearms have a specific misfire score. On attack rolls equal to or lower than a weapon's misfire score, the gun misfires and temporarily breaks. While broken, the gun cannot be fired until repaired, which can be done as an action by making a DC 12 Dexterity check, or a DC 10 Gunsmith's tool check. On a successful check, the gun is repaired and can be used again as normal.

Reload. All firearms have a specific reload score as well. This counts how many times the firearm can be used to attack with before requiring to be reloaded. Reloading a firearm typically takes an action.

Siege. These weapons are particularly suited for tearing down structure. Attacks with these weapons deal double damage to structures and buildings, and treat its damage threshold as 0.

Additional Ranged Weapons

The existence of firearms introduce a plethora of ranged weapon choices to use by players and NPCs alike, both martial and simple weapons from the crude blunderbuss to the marvel of engineering that is the revolver.

Blunderbuss. A simple, muzzle-loaded rifle typically made out of steel or brass that fires small lead balls in a hail, much like a predecessor to the shotgun. Its ammunition type and flared muzzle makes it relatively short range, but it can be deadly in close-quarters combat.

Flintlock. The most common gun found on the seas due to being relatively cheap and easy to mass produce, flintlock are single shot pistols with short effective range. Rain and weather have a severe effect on the weapon's reliability, meaning it is typically used only by those that can't afford better firearms.

Musket. Muskets in the world of One Piece are outfitted with a percussion cap rather than a flintlock mechanism, making them more reliable to use. The muskets presented her are outfitted with a revolving chamber, allowing repeating shots to be taken before needing to be reloaded. This weapon is typically used by marine soldiers.

Pistol. Pistols, much like muskets, use a percussion cap and typically have an extended chamber for ammunition as well, making them more versatile then flintlocks in return for being much more expensive to produce. It is the typical sidearm of most marine soldiers.

Revolver. The most modern weapon design, revolvers are repeating handguns equipped with a revolving chamber, making them very useful for firing multiple rounds in quick succession. The design includes rifled barrels and double action operation, making them superior to common pistols but much more expensive to develop.

Additional Melee Weapons

A few additional melee weapons ar also introduced in the setting, as they see prevalent use around the world, some boasting an almost mythical status.

Cutlass. Typically featuring a basket hilt and a curved, single-edged blade, these swords trade some of the lightness of a scimitar for more stopping power. A pirate favorite.

Katana. Originating from Wano, katana are popular weapons among swordsmen and marine officers. Less bulky than double-edged longswords but also less durable. The slender blade makes it possible to wield them with speed over power.

Odachi. Like katana, these two-handed blades originate from Wano. Long and slender blades, they sacrifice weight and stopping power for agility and flexibility.

Adventuring Gear

This section describes items unique to the setting, using their own mechanics and special rules.

Firearms Bullets. Iron or lead balls used as ammunition in the blunderbuss, flintlock, musket, rifle and revolver.

Apparatus. An apparatus is a mechanism or item of some sort that allow gadgeteers to create fantastic effects, such as dials from the sky islands or an experimental rod with sprockets and gyri attached to it.

Log pose. In the Grand Line, compasses do not work because of the strong magnetic fields surrounding each island. A log pose is required to make navigation rolls at all while in the Grand Line, otherwise you're sailing blindly.

Preservation Box. A massive iron box filled with ice or other coolants, and tightly insulated from the elements. Helps keep fresh produce or medicine from spoiling on long trips, allowing for crews to enjoy better and healthier food and medical treatment on their travels.

Sea Charts. Sea charts map the nearby island as well as water depth and land elevations. While a navigator has sea charts at hand, it makes all navigation checks at advantage while within the area.

Tools

A few additional tools appear in this setting, using their own mechanics and special rules as well.

Appraiser's Tools. A tool kit consisting of magnifying glass, reference material, a small hammer and scales with which to weigh small items. It's useful for establishing the proper value of bounty and loot you find on your travels.

Dial Kit. A set of tools containing everything a tinkerer needs in order to repair and prepare dials, described later in the chapter. With a dial kit, you can repair cracked dials or identify different types of dials and their uses. You also need this in order to repair broken skyborne vehicles.

Sky Vehicles. On sky islands, dials are used in place of common watercrafts. Typically crafted from wood with breath dials attached to them, skyborne vehicles can race across clouds and water at great speeds. These kinds of vehicles come in three distinct forms: Surfers, shooters and wavers.

Surfer. Surfers superficially resemble regular surfing boards, however they have a set of breath dials attached to the back end or sides which serve to propel the board without the need for wind or waves. It is the middle ground for sky vehicles, faster than the skates but more nimble and lighter than a waver.

Shooters. Shooters have a similar shape to ice skates that are attached to feet or foot-wear, however with a broader and dull blade. Breath dials attached to them allow the wearer to travel over water and clouds with practice. The most agile of all sky vehicles, the shooters are difficult to master but rewarding as they carry next to no bulk.

Waver. The largest of the sky vehicles, the waver resembles a water scooter and functions practically the same, using a larger breath dial (or, in the case of rare antiques, jet dial) as an engine. By far the fastest of the three sky vehicles, it can easily overwhelm the non-proficient user due to its fast accelerations.
