Chapter 0: Starting Information

Basic Information About These Rules

DMs, be sure to explore the Dungeons and Devil Fruits Dungeon Master's Guide for this project! It offers a wealth of information beneficial for planning your campaign. Also be sure to check out the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, which includes much more information on Devil Fruit powers and details to include in your game!

This rulebook aims to be a One Piece-themed adaptation of the Wizards of the Coast D&D 5e rule books. Familiarizing yourself with the basics of these rules before engaging with this system is essential. Once you've grasped the basic rules and terminology, you're good to go. Read this to get started if you are new to 5e!

Furthermore, you'll need a solid understanding of the One Piece Universe. As a Dungeon Master, it's recommended that you watch or read a substantial portion of the series to effectively run this type of game. While it's less critical for players to be familiar with aspects outside of this rulebook, it is still beneficial. Below is a list of considerations and preparations needed before running a game with these rules.

Things you'll want to understand before playing

If You're New to D&D or One Piece

• Have a way to run the campaign. If playing online, use a platform such as Roll20 or something similar. If playing in person, make sure to have many of the required dice and character sheets set up prior to running a game.
• Come up with a story and world! You can either set up a sandbox world or make a clear path for your players to take if they are less adventurous. Make sure to discuss this with them prior so that everyone is on the same page about what they find fun.
• As stated above, familiaize yourself with One Piece lore and the D&D rules for playes and Dungeon Masters. Below are some more resources to check out!

Useful Links

• Devil Fruits - These are magical fruits that have the ability to grant the eater super-human powers. There are some downsides to this, however. Read this to learn about Devil Fruits!
• World of One Piece - Most of the One Piece world is full of a variety of wacky large and small islands. There are very few large continents in this world. There is also the grand lind, the red line, the calm belt, and different sections of the ocean. Read this to learn more about the World of One Piece!
• Fighting Styles - There are many unique and powerful ways of fighting, even if you are a non-devil fruit user! Read this to learn more about these fighting styles in detail!

Da Rules! (5e)

If you are running a campaign with these rules, it is important to understand the rules of 5th Edition. I would highly recommend using the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide in conjunction with the rules in this book. Most of the rules from 5e will apply to this campaign setting in this rulebook, only because they are the easiest to understand for most people. The only things that will be different are the races, classes, some spells, items, and a few other rules. Take what you want from the 5e rules and add them to your own game if a rule isn't covered in this book!

Many of the standard rules will apply from the 5e rulebooks such as:

• Spells, class mechanics, leveling, ability scores, character sheets, and skills work similarly with some modifications.
• Combat mechanics will function pretty much the same.
• Classes and races have been changed or overhauled to fit the One Piece theme.
• New player feats will be added and some will be slightly changed.
• Mages and magic are treated a bit different in this world and can be explained through science, spiritual skills, and elemental powers people naturally use.
• Most supernatural phenomenon are explained by devil fruits and haki, which serve as a potential supplement for magic items.

Important Side Note

Understand that when reading this, it is only used as a guide to help you run or play in a game of your own. It is entirely fanmade homebrew. In other words, the Dungeon Master has the final say about what the rules are. You could use 100% of these rules or only 10% , it is up to how you want to run your world! There may be a few typos or grammatical errors, and I will try to spot and fix them. Otherwise, thank you for reading this!

The World of One Piece

The map below gives a basic outline and potential roadmap for you to use for your own adventure. This section will also brief players who are new to the geography or nature of the One Piece world. You can either use the islands, factions, kingdoms, and objectives established in the main series. Or you could opt to make an entirely separate alternate universe with new factions, islands, and kingdoms custom tailored for your group's adventure.

Alternatively, you could use a mix of both types of settings, giving homage to certain locations, groups, and characters with your own spin while creating several new islands, allies, and villains for the group to meet. However you choose to run your campaign, using this world map will give you and your players an idea of a path to take to move forward toward adventure and the One Piece.

The Four Blue Seas

There are several different seas in the One Piece world.

North Blue. A sea in which many legendary pirates and factions were birthed. The North Blue contains many great kingdoms, as well as once being ruled by the Vinsmoke family, and mostly ocean with smaller islands and some continents.

East Blue. Considered the weakest of all the seas. The East Blue contains mostly ocean with many small islands and some continents.

South Blue. A sea that, similar to the North Blue, was the home of many famous pirates. The South Blue contains many great kingdoms and mostly ocean with smaller islands and some continents.

West Blue. A sea riddled with crime, being ruled by various mafia organizations that run a strong Underworld. The West blue contains mostly ocean with smaller islands.

The Grand Line

The Grand Line attracts an unsurmountable number of pirates and adventurers, both powerful and weak, to its seas. Many fail to even reach this sea, struggling to navigate its treacherous waters, extreme weather conditions, and powerful rival pirate crews or Marine forces. This sea also requires special tools to navigate. "Log Pose" compasses, for example, must be used to properly navigate and point ships to the next island since the sea's abnormal magnetic fields do not allow for ordinary compasses to be used. Moreover, Log Poses only allow for a limited and linear path to be taken because it will only point to one location at a time once it adjusts to the magnetic field of a nearby island.

Reverse Mountain and Red Line

Reaching the grand line from the four blue seas requires travel by ship up through the Reverse mountain, which will carry any ship up with its powerful current and down into a single steep river into the Grand Line. This is a one-way trip, however, and a ship cannot pass back up through the reverse mountain once they've arrived in the Grand Line due to the powerful currents.

Alternatively, one could reach the grand line by traveling across the calm belt. However, the calm belt is incredibly difficult to traverse due to reasons specified below, and is primarily crossed only by the Marines. One last way one could theoretically reach the Grand Line is by traveling across the Red Line itself, which is a massive land formation that is virtually impossible to cross for an ordinary person by foot, to loop around the calm belt and into central portion.

Calm Belt

This calm strip of sea that rests on both outer borders on each side of the Grand Line, contains many islands and creatures within it. However, despite its name, crossing the Calm Belt can prove to be instantly fatal to even the most powerful of pirate crews. Due to the complete absence of ocean currents and winds throughout the Calm Belt, there are very few ships that can effectively move through it. Additionally, a near-infinite number of Sea Kings and other sea monsters make the Calm Belt their home and will immediately destroy any suspecting ship or creature attempting to move over it.

Only a select few ships manufactured by the Marines or special Kingdoms will dare to cross the Calm Belt using seastone technology or sea monster guides to bypass the dangers it presents.

Paradise

The first half of the Grand Line, often referred to as "paradise" when compared to the latter half of the Grand Line. Despite its name, this sea is notably dangerous and will eliminate most newbie pirates that attempt to explore it. Paradise contains many small continents and islands with extreme weather conditions, many of which never change in season, temperature, or climate. Each piece of land may contain villages, cities, kingdoms, or countries. Weather conditions all across Paradise are often lethal to crews without gifted navigators and sturdy ships.

The Marines, warlords, armies, and established pirate crews will all defend their territories here or attack anyone unfamiliar on sight. Additionally, Sea Monsters and legendary beasts can be found commonly in the oceans or on islands within paradise that can easily threaten to annihilate any unsuspecting ship or traveler.

New World

Both the latter half of the Grand Line and the final frontier, this is the place where the strongest of the strong reside. It is also the deadliest sea, forcing even the most experienced of crews and ships into submission with its ruthless and completely unpredictable weather, hostile climates on many islands, and other supernatural threats that may randomly appear at a moments notice. Much like Paradise, there are many small continents and islands that are spread out across the sea.

Legendary pirate crews rule over their own massive territories, earning their captains the title "Emperor" or "Yonko". Each compete for territory and resources, with some even aiming for the title of "Pirate King". Territory of the Emperor crews may encompass a massive range of kingdoms, countries, or large sections of ocean. It is often said to survive here, one must align with a Yonko crew or inevitably war against them. There are typically four of these emperors, though that number may change depending on the circumstances and balance of power in the New World. Even the Navy is often afraid of exploring these seas or challenging the mighty Yonko, as more than one Yonko alliance or fleet forming an alliance against them could threaten the entire World Government.

Final Island

To avoid massive spoilers, this section will intentionally be left vague.

This legendary place rests at the very end of the Grand Line, within the final stretch of the New World. Within this mysterious location exists a colossal treasure that has had most pirates searching for decades to find. It also contains all the mysteries of the past, which will be useful to those searching for the truth of the world. The nature or exact contents of this location are still left open to interpretation, though any DM running their game can allow their players to reach this place by special means specific to their own adventure and world. The name of this island itself can be changed to fit a different plot or storyline for each world.

However one chooses to run this location, it will most likely be reached at the very end of a campaign and will allow players to access the One Piece in some way. Perhaps it can act as a gateway to the treasure. It could be an underwater city which rises to the sky to carry the players to the treasure. It could even itself be a weapon of some sort that has the capacity to destroy the planet. Because the mystery of the One Piece and Raftel has not been revealed yet (as of 2022), it is fair to insert your own spin on what it could be that players find here.

List of Changes

This written guide serves as a means to more easily run a One Piece tabletop RPG using Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition as a framework. Much of this guide will include near-identical rules and mechanics to the base D&D books. However, many changes, small or large, had to occur to fit in newer mechanics such as Devil Fruits, Haki, new items, etc. For example, Druids were practically deleted to make room for Zoan-type Devil Fruit users.

More detailed explanations on changes and additions made in this guide are listed below:

Version 1.0.0 Changes

• Many buffs were applied to player races, classes, and advancement features. These buffs were made to compensate for newer mechanics such as devil fruits, special items, and magic items potentially throwing off the balance of combat and resources. Players who managed to access these new resources early on will be much stronger than they would be in base 5e.

• Challenge Rating rules for monsters and enemies may need to be adjusted to match player buffs. Monsters written in the Dungeons and Devil Fruits Dungeon Master's guide will hopefully provide enough insight and design ideas to further help compensate for these player buffs. I think this is a positive as well DMs will be able to swarm their players with low-strength enemies more easily without risking killing them, which much better suits a One Piece campaign. Very high CR enemies should still serve as an adequate threat to players if they get too cocky.

• Character creation has been left largely the same in Chapter 1, with the option to allow players to start with a Devil Fruit, Haki, or a Character Feat to give them a strength boost early on. Standard 5th Edition character sheets can still be used, although additional pages or handouts detailing Haki or Devil Fruit powers and advancements may be needed.

• Level & Adventure Tiers give a bit more description for how to run longer camapigns in this One Piece-themed world.

• Every race aside from humans has been swapped out for One Piece races, each detailed in Chapter 2. Because some races in One Piece are naturally powerful or mechanically "different" from most balanced races in 5e, certain races have been listed as "optional". This means the DM needs to give players permission in order to use those races. I knew people might be unhappy if I left out these more powerful races, so that is why I included them in spite of their difficult-to-balance nature.

• Certain classes in Chapter 3 have been altered or sort of re-skinned to fit the theme of One Piece better.

• Barbarians have been completely swapped out for "Bruisers", which better represents the abundance of brawler types in One Piece who either don't use weapons or hold basic club-like weapons (e.g. Luffy, Garp, Kaido, etc.) This was heavily inspired by the Pugilist Class by Benjamin Huffman, which more or less combines monks with barbarians. Hopefully after initial testing, this class will feel fun and balanced to use.

• Martial Artists are Monks with Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (TCoE) changes applied. Subclasses for this class were inspired by original monk subclasses, but combined together to better match the various forms of martial arts in the One Piece world.

• Warriors are basically just fighters. Much like Martial Artists, minor buffs and additional changes were applied from various official books. Subclasses here include a Haki focus, cursed sword styles, and a number of One Piece-themed fighting styles.

• Marksmen are also just rogues with changes made to proficiencies, flavor, and replacing perception-based class features with Observation Haki features. The subclasses here resemble rogue subclasses, but place an emphasis on proficiency with different varieties of weapons and powers added to fit one One Piece world.

• Tinkerers are a technology-based casters that replace wizards. Because "magic" in One Piece is instead explained as technology, devil fruit powers, haki, spiritual powers, paranormal phenomenon, or simply random wacky occurences, casters as a whole have been changed to meet this theme. Tinkerers are wizards who replace "magic" with fictional science and technology which better suits the One Piece world.

• Skalds are sea-themed bards with largely the same toolset and abilities. Most of the class-based changes made were very minor and really just made for flavor.

• Same as skalds, priests are virtually the exact same as clerics. Because clerics are best at dealing with undead, I originally wanted to repurpose their Channel Divinity to be more universal, perhaps turning "spirits" instead of undead. But I figured I would leave it up to the DM to explain how undead can be incorporated in the world via Devil Fruits and science in the One Piece world to make priests still feel useful as a class.

• In chapter 4, character backgrounds have been changed a bit and new backgrounds have been added. Pirate Prestige and Crew Roles are optional mechanics which give players a wider variety of tools they can use to provide utility to their crew. A table for character dreams was also provided.

• In chapter 5, metal coin currency was replaced with Belly (฿), except on some islands where exceptions are made, and conversion rules were included.

• Certain weapons and armor have been replaced with One Piece-themed gear. Additional guns and melee weapons have also been included.
• Standard equipment and special equipment tables now include One Piece themed gear that players can find and use throughout the campaign to strengthen their characters and abilities. Players can also create or upgrade certain equipment using crafting rules or class and races features.
• Multiclassing rules and features in chapter 6 are still similar to base 5e, but have been altered to match the changes made to classes. New One Piece-themed character features are also provided.
• In chapter 7, which is practically brand new, there are now rules on using Haki and Devil Fruits. To allow for more DM control over how players acquire these abilities, they are largely treated as rare magic items characters have to work hard to get their hands on. Even then, with items such as devil fruits, there is significant risk in trying to find a strong devil fruit power. Because these mechanics aren't tied to character level for the most part, the DM can decide at what points in the story to hand out advancement features or devil fruits to avoid balance nightmares. Alternatively, using random tables and generation can be used if balance isn't a huge concern.

• King's infusion no longer has "except permanent infusion" included in its description. It now instead requires that the one using king's infusion must be holding the weapon for the effects of king's infusion to be active.
• Several haki abilities have been adjusted.
• Several spelling and grammatical errors have been corrected.
• Martial Artist Six Power's Shave has been limited to being used a number of times equal to proficiency bonus, unless a ki point is expended.
• Sky Islander can now use Air Glide once per Short or Long Rest, instead of just a Long Rest.
• Changed "duel of death" name to "Lock-On" for marksmen.
• Specified only female merfolk grow legs at age 30.

Version 3.0.0 Changes

• Added the new Devilforged Class in Chapter 3.
• Added the Heavy Thrower feat to Chapter 6, which allows player characters to throw cannon balls.
• Added Chapter 8: Spell Lists, which includes a spell list for each class in the book as well as some custom spells for a One Piece campaign setting. The Mysterious Power feat has been changed to match this.
• Changed the Awakening abilities of the example Doku Doku no Mi, Gura Gura no Mi, Hie Hie no Mi, and Mera Mera no Mi, to instead use the custom spells provided in Chapter 8.
• Many water-based spells have been removed or replaced by new custom spells to fix potential issues with devil fruits getting hard countered by instant water summoning. Merfolk have also been adjusted to reflect these changes.
• Fixed Bruiser's Focused frenzy redundancy.
• Changed Sky Islander's Air Glide ability name to Protection of the Clouds.
• Additional proficiencies have been given to each fish-man subclass. A new fish-man subclass has been added, named the Smelt-Whiting Fish-man.
• Added specification that Chemists cannot use devil fruit powers while in their monster mutation form. Also made changes to monster mutation, making it so that genetics chemists cannot swim or fly until specified levels.
• Removed Concentration requirement for Marksman Lock-On feature. Many additional buffs to marksman ability, and Sniper's Scoping range increased.
• Added Understanding and Appraising Devil Fruits as well as Training Surges and Tutors to Chapter 7.

• Linked the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
• Fixed typos, grammar, and other inconsistencies.

Chapter 1: Making a Character

Setting Up a Character

This is typically the first step in any tabletop RPG or D&D-styled game. Use your imagination to think up what type of character you want to be in this world. Make sure it remains mostly thematic in regards to the setting, as this isn't a standard D&D campaign.

Think about what race you would like your character to be, their personality, goals, back story, specialties, career, appearance, traits, and relationships. Once you have all of these qualities decided, start following these steps below and writing everything down.

Using a "Character Sheet" provided by Wizards of the Coast for 5th Edition, you can track much of this. You may need to make a few modifications for certain things, like tracking Devil Fruit powers.

1. Choosing Your Race

Races in the One Piece world are very unique and each exhibit many different abilities and defining traits. Deciding your race can be pretty important to describing your character's appearance and abilities, as well as occasionally defining their goals. Humans are easily the most common race to find when exploring the planet, although you may sometimes find individuals or communities of non-humans living in different areas, typically away from humans.

If you are unsure of which race to go with, Human can be an easy choice. However, races such as Fishmen, Merfolk, Minks, Sky Tribesman, Kuja, Dwarves, and others are all possible races to choose from. More information on these races are listed in Chapter 2.

2. Choosing Your Class

Each character should specialize in a field while sailing the seas with their crew. A class will determine your prominent talents and skills, allowing your character to hone and grow their abilities throughout the adventure. For example, a Warrior may focus mainly on fighting while tinkerers can be useful in performing specifics tasks outside of combat that may benefit the group, such as navigating. While having an all-around useful character is important, sometimes it doesn't hurt to have a character that tends to be extremely good at only one thing, so long as they benefit the group and feel fun to play. A well-rounded party can make the journey far more enjoyable in the long-run.

Put some time into deciding what you want your character's role to be in the crew. Maybe discuss it with others in the group to see what would work best for everyone. However, make sure to choose something you will have fun with and appreciate. Once you have a general idea for what your class will be, pick from the classes listed in Chapter 3.

3. Determining Your Ability Scores

The six abilities that are prevalent in every D&D campaign and determine your character's skills are: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. When you calculate the number of each ability score, you will need to list them on your character sheet.

The Dungeons and Dragons 5th Editions rules should list how you can determine your Ability Scores. However, I will also explain this process here. Using the Standard Array method, you can take the numbers 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 and assign each number to a different Ability Score.

You may also choose to Roll for your Ability Scores by rolling a d6 dice four times and recording the sum of the three highest rolls. Repeat this process five more times until you have written down six total sums. Then, allocate each of these six numbers to individual Ability Scores of your choice. As an example, you may end up with the six numbers 17, 11, 13, 9, 12, 14 after rolling. You might decide you want strength to be your highest Ability Score, so you would put 17 for your Strength Score. Then you would fill in your other Ability Scores accordingly.

Lastly, one other way you can decide Ability Scores is through using Point Buy. You can easily find a free Point Buy Caculator online. It is of course always up to the DM to decide what method is used to determine Ability Scores for the party. Once you have calculated your ability scores, you will make changes to them according to your racial feats.

Ability Scores and Modifiers

Ability Score	Modifier
1	-5
2 - 3	-4
4 - 5	-3
6 - 7	-2
8 - 9	-1
10 - 11	0
12 - 13	+1
14 - 15	+2
16 - 17	+3
18 - 19	+4
20 - 21	+5
22 - 23	+6
24 - 25	+7
26 - 27	+8
28 - 29	+9
30	+10

3.5. Beginning With a Devil Fruit, Haki, or Character Feat (Optional)

If your DM allows for it, your character might've already learned how to use basic haki, learned a character feat, or eaten a Devil Fruit prior to the start of their journey in this campaign. This would mean you gain a Haki ability or random Devil Fruit power at the very beginning of the adventure and cannot consume another Devil Fruit ever again. Of course, this also means you will never be able to swim again. This may make the start of the adventure far easier than normal, but things should even out in difficulty later on.

If you are able to use this rule and start with a Devil Fruit or Haki, you may roll on the "Uncommon" Devil Fruit Table in Chapter 7. Once you have rolled your power, you are stuck with it, good or bad. If you instead start with Haki, you gain an "Uncommon" Haki Advancement feat of your choice in Chapter 7. If you are starting at later levels or right on the grand line, your DM may allow you to roll on the "Rare" Devil Fruit table instead and choose up to a "Rare" Haki Advancement feat. Lastly, if neither Haki or a Devil Fruit fits your taste, you may start with a Character Feat in Chapter 6. This can technically be done at any point in character creation, but make sure you meet any prerequisites needed for advancements and feats. Make sure to write down the name and abilities of your Devil Fruit as well as your Haki abilities somewhere on your character sheet or use separate handout provided by your DM.

4. Describing Your Character

First, hopefully you've already decided on a name for your character. If not, try to think of something you like the sound of. If you can't think of anything, feel free to look up D&D name generators online. Then, start to really develop their personality and appearance in your head.

After you have a concept in mind, you want to start writing and organizing these ideas onto your character sheet. Try to find what Alignment best fits them and their morals. Then, start to think up some defining Personality Traits. Once your mark those down on your character sheet, start getting into their Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws. These will provide a guideline on how you plan on roleplaying and making decisions with your character.

Now you want to decide on your characters Background. Your background will provide you with tools and knowledge gained from how you've lived your life prior to the start of the campaign. This will affect how those who recognize you interact with you, how you're treated by the general public, and what your occupation is or was. A DM may provide you with custom backgrounds for this adventure, but feel free to choose from the ones listed in Chapter 4.

Race, Devil Fruit, and Ability Scores

It is important to take into consideration how your race and Ability Scores can impact your character's appearance and personality. Some One Piece races may be noticeably taller than others, some may be tinier on average, and some may have very distinguishable traits.

Additionally, if you are a Devil Fruit user, you may have certain physical features or personality traits that match the nature or properties of your power. For example, a user of the Moku Moku no mi (Smoke Logia) might be a huge chain smoker who tends to dress in white or gray colored clothing. A user of the Neko Neko no mi, Model: Lion (Zoan) could dress up in flashy golden clothing and consider themselves royalty. If your character ate a Devil Fruit before being introduced to the party, consider incorporating how you got the power and how it impacts your daily life into your background. It is up to you how you want to incorporate the theme of your Devil Fruit into your character.

Furthermore, your final ability scores may also factor into your appearance and attitude. Here are some examples:

A character with high strength may appear physically intimidating and bulky, with defined muscles and a towering figure. With low strength, they might appear scrawny or flabby.

A character with high dexterity may appear incredibly quick and versatile when moving around, with a potentially more lean appearance. With low dexterity, they may be heavier or move a bit slower than others.

A character with high constitution may appear noticeably healthy and sturdy. With low constitution, they may look a tad bit sickly or pale.

A character with high intelligence may appear more structured or knowledgeable when talking to others, perhaps having several books or scrolls in their possession. With low intelligence, they may speak noticeably slow, sometimes having a dumbfounded look on their face when hearing complicated explanations.

A character with high wisdom may appear more aware of their surroundings and have a grasp on the deeper meaning of interactions in their daily lives. With low wisdom, a character may seem aloof or carefree to others.

A character with high charisma will most likely stand out in public and most social situations, having the ability to influence the attitudes and thoughts of others through interacting with them. With low charisma, a character may be more easily ignored or feel slightly more difficult to agree with in conversations.

5. Getting Equipped

Class and background will typically decide what equipment your character starts with. Your equipment includes weapons, armor, tools, trinkets, clothing, and other gear. Look at Chapter 5 to record this information on your character sheet.

Alternatively, you may choose to purchase your starting equipment instead. You will start with a set number of Belly (฿) to spend on equipment, based on the value given to you by your class.

Further information on starting gold based on class is detailed in Chapter 5. Weapons in the One Piece world include various types of firearms such as pistols, rifles, and occasionally very high-tech weaponry such as laser beams. The most common weapons you will find are guns like flintlocks, and swords such as cutlasses and sabers. Much higher firepower weapons such as cannons are common, but are typically only used on ships or in fortresses.

Melee Weapons require that you roll a 1d20 and add your strength or dexterity modifier as well as your Proficiency Bonus to the roll to hit. This modifier is also usually added on top of the damage roll. Melee weapons tend to use strength modifiers, but occasionally allow you to use other modifiers depending on your weapon or class.

Ranged Weapons require that you roll a 1d20 and add your strength or dexterity modifier as well as your Proficiency Bonus to the roll to hit. This modifier is also usually added on top of the damage roll. Ranged weapons tend to use dexterity modifiers, but occasionally allow you to use other modifiers depending on your weapon or class.

Traditional armor is used far less in the One Piece world often due to how inconvenient it can be for mobility, but it can still be rarely utilized by very tanky pirates. For this reason, it might be wise to reflavor these items for certain characters by instead using durable clothing or body armor that can be used underneath clothing as a substitute. Shields are not used quite as often either, but can still be found and used by very defensive-style duelists.

Armor Class without armor is normally equal to 10 + Dexterity Modifier. Certain classes might change how this is calculated. Additionally, wearing armor or using shields will alter the Base or Modifier value of your AC.

Be sure to write down all of these values on your character sheet for easy access and to remember them for combat encounters.

6. Wrapping Up Session 0

If you are playing with a large group, it is sometimes a good idea to get everyone together a week or so before the first official campaign session to discuss character setup. This is usually called Session 0. With the help of your Dungeon Master and fellow players, try to decide how you want your characters to mesh together. Does everyone in the party/crew know each other before the campaign starts? Does your backstory include any of the other player characters or NPCs? How will your character's background and current occupation fit into the crew's goals and the story? These are all important questions to ask yourselves and especially the DM.

1st level and beyond

By exploring the One Piece World and fighting your way through various forces, your characters will start to develop new strategies and grow stronger over time. Each time a major advancement occurs, either due to reaching a specific number of Experience Points or reaching a Milestone in the story, you will gain a Character Level.

For example, if you start at level 1 with 0 Experience Points and gain enough experience over the course of a session to make your way to Level 2, you will mark this on your character sheet and upgrade your stats accordingly during your next Long Rest. Additionally, your DM may decide to use a Milestone system by granting you a level up upon reaching a new area or island, completing an important objective, or obtaining a key item or treasure.

Character Advancement

Experience Points	Level	Proficiency Bonus
0	1	+2
300	2	+2
900	3	+2
2,700	4	+2
6,500	5	+3
14,000	6	+3
23,000	7	+3

level tiers during the adventure

During the journey, the DM may decide to structure the pacing and level advancement throughout the adventure to give the feeling of progression to players. By deciding level tiers for certain areas in the world, it will be easy to balance enemies and NPCs in ways that align with player progression.

The first tier (levels 1-4) will be for very early exploration throughout the seas outside of the Grand Line, including the North Blue, East Blue, South Blue, and West Blue. It would be wise to start in one of these seas, preferably a fair distance away from Reverse Mountain and the Grand Line. Player characters will be fairly weak at this tier, and will only encounter minor enemies and challenges until they reach the Grand Line.

The second tier (levels 5-10) will be where most of the first half of the campaign takes place, in a portion of the Grand Line called "Paradise". This will be where many mid-tier pirates and powerful members of the navy reside. The sea and various islands will be difficult to traverse, with sea monsters and extreme weather conditions constantly bombarding your travel at random. Surviving to the end of Paradise should prove to be a challenge and feel like an amazing accomplishment upon completing the end. However, the next two stages should feel far more threatening.

The third tier (levels 11-15) is where players will start facing extremely overwhelming challenges. Making your way into the second half of the Grand Line, called the New World, the party should be facing unimaginably powerful pirate crews called the Yonko (or Four Emperors). The weather and islands here are even more threatening than the first half of the grand line, enough for a majority of crews to perish upon initially reaching this area. This will be the stage where characters start training, conducting espionage on the Yonko, and collecting Road Poneglyphs.

The final tier (levels 16-20) is the last stretch of the journey. At this legendary tier, characters should be able to stand up to Yonko pirate crews and marine admirals. Most fights will be overwhelmingly large-scale and epic, involving hundreds or thousands of pirates in huge wars and battles across the end of the New World. Once several Yonko have fallen and Road Poneglyphs are copied down, the crew can make their way to the One Piece to become pirate kings/queens and complete the adventure.

Chapter 2: Races

The races in One Piece all have a variety of distinct traits that set them apart from one-another. While humans are the most common and reside on most islands, other demihuman races have their own islands and territories that they reside in around the world. These demihuman races also have a wide variety sizes, characteristics, abilities, and cultures. In many cases, non-human races can be seen as much stronger by default than ordinary humans. However, many humans may opt to regularly train to be on par with these races as well.

Typically, non-human races don't mingle well with human civilzation and culture due to the severe level of racism and oppression often being brought non-humans by the Navy and World Government, which further fuels anti-human sentiments among the human populace. When a non-human is introduced into a human society, it will most likely be treated more harshly than their human counterpart, oftentimes alienating them completely. Likewise, Humans may also be treated differently when entering a non-human tribe or country due to the resentment they hold. It is up to the DM to decide how to run these encounters during roleplay.

Remember, the One Piece world is very divided and has many themes of slavery and extreme hatred toward non-humans. If these themes are too extreme or uncomfortable to run, feel free to remove most of the racial tension for a more relaxed experience for non-human player characters.

Player Races

When choosing a player character's race, it is important to choose an option that suits the character's personality, background, appearance, and perhaps even class and abilities. For example, a characer that loves to swim and interact with aquatic creatures may be best suited by picking the Fishman or Merfolk race. In order to properly make this choice, read each race option and consult with your DM for any questions or advice you may need.

For the purposes of game balance, many races from the One Piece world will be restricted from players. While some may technically be listed below for more lenient DMs to allow, they are by no means on the same level as the rest of the included races in this section. Races that may break game balance or prove to be far too strong will be marked with the "Optional" tag.

Universal Language

You may notice the complete absence of spoken or written language traits available as you read through the below races.

Due to the One Piece world having few, if any, diverse languages spoken, even among other non-human races, it can be assumed that each humanoid creature shares a "Common" language in which they can all speak with individual literacy depending on the creature's intelligence.

Human

In the world of One Piece, humans can be considered highly invasive and territorial to most other races and creatures. While there are many good-spirited humans out there, the World Government and Navy often tarnish the reputation of humans among non-humans. Due to this fact, most non-human races don't get along well with humans on average. However, there can very well be brotherhood among these races in certain circumstances, so long as compassion and friendship is shown.

Conquerors. Humans will settle in and take control of just about anywhere they can reach. The exception to this rule may be places like Fish-man Island or Zou, which are too inconvenient and out-of-reach to settle on for most human civilizations. Most of the world is conquered and ruled by humans under the World Government.

Great Kingdoms. As humans have expanded over the centuries, they have established many large cities, kingdoms, and fortresses across various islands and continents. Human culture can also be very different depending on where you look. While some human settlements can be more open-minded and accepting, other places may be far less tolerant toward outsiders and different ideas or cultures.

Human Traits

While many humans vary in shape and size, your human character will have these traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your ability scores each increase by 1.

Age. Humans reach adulthood in their teens and live for around a century.

Alignment. There is no clear alignment that is consistent among all humans. Just about any alignment can be justified.

Size. Humans in the One Piece World are typically 5-6 feet tall. Some can rest far outside this range, but your size will count as medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Human Variant Traits

Some humans can be noticeably different in their abilities and skills. For this reason, you may choose to instead replace the standard Human Ability Score Increase with these traits instead:

Ability Score Increase. Two different ability scores of your choice increase by 1.

Skills. You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.

Feat. You gain one Character Feat of your choice that you meet the prerequisite for in Chapter 6. You may only choose a Haki-related feat if you receive DM permission.

Human Giant Traits

Very rarely, some humans may grow to be astonishingly larger than most others in the One Piece world, sometimes even doubling the average human height and weight. If your human character happens to fall under this category, you may choose to replace the standard Human Ability Score Increase with these traits instead:

Ability Score Increase. You increase your Strength score by 2.

Size. Human giants are between 7 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 280 and 340 pounds. Your size is Medium.

Natural Athlete. You have proficiency in the Athletics skill.

Warrior Training. You have proficiency with the Battleaxe, Handaxe, Light Hammer, Longsword, Club, and Spear.

Giant's Endurance. You can focus yourself to occasionally shrug off injury. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to roll a d12. Add your Constitution modifier to the number rolled, and reduce the damage by that total. After you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

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

Kuja Traits

If your human character is female, you may choose to take this Kuja variant subrace. If you do so, you may choose to replace the standard Human Ability Score Increase with these traits instead:

Ability Score Increase. You increase your constitution, wisdom, or charisma score by 2.

Skills. You gain proficiency with longbows, shortbows, shortswords, and spears.

Beginner Haki. You can choose to take the Color of Armament Training feat if you meet the prerequisite.

Fishman

Fishmen, along with Merfolk, are one of the two races of humanoids that inhabit the sea. Fishmen are a roughly equal mix of Human and Fish, with human-like appendages and faces crossed with sea creatures such as sharks, blowfish, and other fish. They also have gills between their shoulders and necks, as well as often having webbed hands. Some species of fish-men may have extra appendages depending what on what species of fish they represent.

Fishmen have both lungs and gills, which allow them to breathe underwater and on land. Their webbed fingers and agile bodies allow them to move quickly in water for as long as they want. Some fishmen use their naturally strong bodies and unique features as a reason to believe they are superior to Humans. Despite these beliefs, fish-men often end up being the ones to become enslaved and oppressed by Humans, which drives their hatred for them even further. However, not all fish-men think this way and can actually get along well with humans as equals.

Hybrids. Fishmen have the ability to interbreed with other races, much like other humanoid races. It is not impossible to find half-humna or half-giant fishmen in places such as the grand line. Furthermore, fishmen can have children with merfolk, resulting in either a fishman or merfolk child being born.

Oppressed. Like other non-human races, fish-men are the victims of world-wide oppression by humans. Due to this, many fish-men stay within the confines of fish-man island and only occasionally leave. Some evil fish-men have opted to be pirates to seek revenge against humanity. Unfortunately, several also end up as slaves under the world government. Even on islands not directly under world government jurisdiction, humans still treat fish-men very unfairly. For this reason, playing a fish-man can prove very different when visiting various human-inhabited islands around the sea.

Domination. Though they are often misunderstood, many fish-men do hold the belief that they should rule over all other fish in the sea. And due to the cruel treatment they receive from humans, some grow to also want to conquer and rule over humanity as a whole. This isn't true of all fish-men though, as many do exhibit the desire to co-exist with other races and species.

Extraordinary Strength. As well as being born with bodies that provide natural weapons in battles, such as razor-sharp teeth, fish-men have incredibly strong bodies compared to average people. From birth, fish-men are ten times stronger than humans. Additionally, fish-men can be even more troublesome in underwater combat. Being even stronger underwater, they can easily devastate a human who isn't proficient at swimming. Unfortunately, this strength can be negated if a fish-man happens to be a Devil Fruit user.

Fish-Man Traits

Your fish-man character will have these traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your consitution score increases by 1.

Age. Fish-men reach adulthood in their teens and live for around a century.

Alignment. Most fish-men are lawful and many stay true to their values, though some lean toward being neutral. Fish-men can live in harmony with other sea creatures, but may turn violent against humans. For this reason, a fish-man can range from being good to evil.

Size. Fish-men are between 7 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 280 and 340 pounds on average. Your size is medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet, and you have a Swimming speed of 35 feet.

Amphibious. You can breathe air and water.

Underwater Athlete. You have proficiency in the Athletics skill. While underwater, you face no penalties or disadvantage as a result of underwater combat rules.

Adapted to the Sea. With the ability to adapt to extreme underwater depths, you have Resistance to cold damage.

Fish-Man Subraces

Subrace. Breeding among fish-people resulted in three main subraces: Shark, Manta Ray, Octopus, or Smelt-Whiting variants. Choose one of these Subraces and add its traits to your racial features alongside the ones listed above.

Shark Traits

These fish-men are known to have sharp shark-like teeth, light blue-tinted skin, large back fins, and extreme strength.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2.

Apex Predtaor You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Manta Ray Traits

These fish-men are known to have wide side-fins and light-blue skin, moving at high speeds underwater.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

Underwater Acrobatics You gain proficiency in the Acrobatics skill. You have advantage on acrobatics check made while underwater.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength and Dexterity scores both increase by 1.

Deadly Precision You gain proficiency in one of the following: sleight of hand or an Artisan's tool of your choice.

Multi-Armed. You have four additional arms, six in total. While you cannot efficiently wield weapons with these arms, you may use them to hold smaller items such as potions and trinkets. Additionally, you have advantage on grapple checks with your arms.

Smelt-Whiting Traits

Smelt-whiting fish-men are known to have more dominant fish-like characteristics compared to other fish-men, and can spit water at their enemies.

Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2.

Big-Mouthed. You gain proficiency in the Deception or Persuasion skill (your choice).

Hydro Cannon You have the natural ability to shoot concentrated blasts of water out of your mouth. You can cast ray of frost with this trait. Starting at 3rd Level, you can cast Ice Knife with it. Once you Cast a Spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a Long Rest. Charisma is your Spellcasting Ability for these Spells.

Merfolk

Merfolk, along with fish-men, are one of the two races of humanoids that inhabit the sea. Merfolk have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish. Both races are ruled by the undersea king, King Neptune.

Merfolk have access to various skills while underwater, such as extremely fast swimming speeds, weapon proficiency, and the ability to communicate with many sea creatures. Very rarely, a mermaid can be born with the ability to speak with Sea Kings. Only a mermaid princess possesses this power, however.

Peaceful. Unlike fish-men, merfolk are far more peaceful and prefer to live in secret away from most other races. Despite their differences, merfolk and fish-men get along very well.

Sea to Land. Due to their lack of legs, they move very slowly on land. This makes sea travel their primary method of getting around, and they're very proficient at it. However, upon reaching the age of 30, their tails will split and allow them to walk on land much easier.

Victims of Slavery. Despite their efforts to stay away from the surface, some merfolk still end up captured and sold into slavery. Because of their rarity, many can sell for incredibly high prices if they are under 30.

Beauty and Grace. Merfolk are all considered incredibly beautiful by the standards of humans. This beauty is mostly lost when they reach the age of 30 when their tail splits. They are also far less brutish than fish-men, making them a bit less likely to be involved in physical altercations. Merfolk are more commonly involved in activities or occupations that involve their speed or intelligence. Though, many are stilled trained in the military and can use a fighting style known as Merman Combat.

Merfolk Traits

Your merfolk character will have these traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity, Wisdom, and Charisma scores each increase by 1.

Age. Merfolk reach adulthood in their teens, mature considerably in their 30s, and live for around a century.

Alignment. Most merfolk are neutral or lawful good. However, few may turn violent against humans and become evil. They are rarely chaotic in nature.

Size. Merfolk are between 6 and 7 feet long and weigh between 160 and 240 pounds on average. Your size is medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 10 feet, and you have a Swimming speed of 50 feet. Once you reach age 30 as a female, your walking speed becomes 30 feet.

Amphibious. You can breathe air and water.

Merfolk Training⁠. You have proficiency with the spear, Trident, and net.

Merfolk Combat. Being trained in underwater combat, you can control the flow of water to attack your enemies (ice and cold damage is treated as water). You can cast Ray of Frost with this trait. Starting at 3rd Level, you can cast Ice Knife with it, and starting at 5th Level, you can also cast Rime's Binding Ice with it. Once you Cast a Spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a Long Rest. Charisma is your Spellcasting Ability for these Spells.

Adapted to the Sea. With the ability to adapt to extreme underwater depths, you have Resistance to cold damage.

Languages. Merfolk can all speak and understand the universal spoken language of this world. Additionally, using gestures and sounds, you can communicate simple ideas with any beast that has an innate Swimming speed.

Sky Islander

Those who live up in the Sky Islands have adapted and adjusted to live in such an environment. There are three main factions that exist up here: Shandians, Birkans, and Skypieans. All three of these groups descended from a moon, sometimes referred to as "Fairy Vearth". On this moon, a great civilization existed named Shandoria. These three groups were a part of this civilization and were believed to have worked in unison.

Centuries after leaving the moon, these races have split apart and can be considered mostly divided into different tribes. These tribes now live mostly on Sky Islands and form civilizations in the clouds with their own cultures and technology. Some use a seemingly magical power called Mantra, which is actually Observation Haki.

Some sky islanders descent from the skies down to land, known as "Vearth" to them, and can interact with the various other races.

These three tribes can be described in the following ways:

Shandians

Once Shandians descended from the moon, they lived on a land-based island named Jaya. However, this island was blasted into the sky by a knockup stream, leaving the Shandians stranded in the sky for many centuries. Like the others that live on these sky islands, Shandians are known to grow wings on their backs. However, unlike the other groups, their clothing is similar to real-world native Americans. Additionally, they can often be seen with large tattoos decorating their bodies. Shandians fight as fierce and skilled warriors, surviving for many long centuries with these skills.

In ancient times, Shandians fought in a great war against the twenty kingdoms on land. At the end of this war, they were defeated. However, they held on to the ruins of the golden city of Shandora and the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell, which they now protect with their lives even after it was blasted into the sky long ago. They also protect a Poneglyph left to them by an ancient Great Kingdom they were allies with during the great war.

Birkans

Although not much is known about this civilization, it does share some similarities with other Sky Island groups. Much like the other two groups, Birkans all grow wings on their backs. However, Birkans do have a unique appearance compared to the others. Birkans can sometimes appear to have goat-like features such as long goat-like ears growing alongside their regular human ears, and small horns.

Additionally, many Birkans dress in long white robes and gowns, often resembling priests. Many birkans consider themselves divine in nature, and dress accordingly. Unfortunately, the island of Birka was destroyed many years ago, though many survivors still remain. Many Birkan survivors are gifted with strong mantra in combat.

Skypieans

Many Skypieans reside on the sky island known as Skypiea. This island is massive and contains various technologies that make use of Dials, which are found naturally around it. Many Skypieans have angel-like appearances and grow wings on their backs, similar to Birkans and Shandians. Additionally, their hair often resembles the antenna of an insect, their skin is far lighter than the other groups, and their clothes are far more basic.

Skypiea is a grand island that has come to slowly resent outsiders due to the damage dealt to them from non-skypieans. They use a currency known as Extol in place of Belly (฿). Skypieans all fully obey their great leader, known as "God".

Sky Islander Traits

Your sky islander will have these traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Age. Sky islanders reach adulthood in their teens and live for around a century.

Alignment. Sky islanders vary in alignment, ranging from good to evil, lawful to chaotic, but are typically neutral in some way.

Size. Sky islanders in the One Piece World are typically 5-6 feet tall. Some can rest far outside this range, but your size will count as medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Protection of the Clouds. You are able to form fluffy floating clouds around you to reduce the speed of your fall. You gain the ability to cast Feather Fall. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a Short or Long rest.

Dial Proficiency. You innately understand dials that have came from sky islands and can carry one with you. Roll once on the Simple Dial Table in Chapter 5 to determine which one you start with.

Languages. Sky islanders can all speak and understand the universal spoken language of this world.

Sky Islander Subraces

Subrace. The separation of groups living on the "Fairy Vearth" resulted in three main subraces splitting off: Shandian, Birkan, or Skypiean variants. Choose one of these Subraces and add its traits to your racial features alongside the ones listed above.

Shandians

Your Shandian heritage has gifted you with great strength and combat expertise.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2.

Shandian Weapon Training. You have proficiency with the quarterstaff, halberd, pike, glaive, spear, and heavy firearms.

Birkans

Your Birkan heritage has gifted you with powerful observation and foresight through mantra.

Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 2.

Mantra Specialist. You can choose to take the Color of Observation Training feat if you meet the prerequisite.

Skypieans

Your Skypiean heritage has gifted you with great knowledge of dials.

Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 2.

Advanced Dial Proficiency. You start with an additional Dial, allowing you to roll once more on the Simple Dial Table to determine what other Dial you start with. Additionally, you gain advantage on all checks made to find a dial.

Mink

Much like fish-men and merfolk, minks appear to have a mixture of animal-like and human features. Each mink resembles a certain type of furry mammalian animal. Their features and appendages are very human-like, but often have paws and padded paws. Male minks look much more bestial and hairy, while female minks appear more human-like.

Strength of the Animal Kingdom. They are considered fearsome and powerful by many, and rightfully so. Minks are born with immense power, speed, stealth, and instincts. Their abilities are far superior to ordinary humans, even at a young age. Every mink, regardless of if they are young or old, is a powerful warrior in battle. This power is greatly elevated when their Sulong Form is activated under a full moon.

Victims of Slavery. Much like many other non-human races, Minks are sometimes victims of slavery and are valued for their exotic appearance and strength. Additionally, many humans may treat minks with similar amounts of hatred to how they treat other non-humans. This can lead to some degree of resentment between both races, though likely not quite as extreme as certain fish-men. Many minks have the ability to get along with humans if there is some level of understanding and respect.

Residents of Zou. Most minks reside on a city atop an ancient island-sized elephant named Zunesha. This city is referred to as Zou, which exists somewhere in the New World. This city is incredibly difficult to locate, allowing minks to live away from pirates and the reaches of the World Government. However, some minks do venture outside of Zou, sometimes as pirates, or decide to live in Totto Land.

Mink Traits

Your mink will have these traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength, Dexterity, and Wisdom scores each increase by 1.

Age. Minks reach adulthood in their teens and live for around a century.

Alignment. Most minks are neutral or lawful good. However, few may turn chaotic and give into their primal urges if exposed to the full moon for long enough.

Size. Minks in the One Piece World are typically 5-6 feet tall. Some can rest far outside this range, but your size will count as medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision. You have an animal’s keen Senses, especially in the dark. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you 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.

Beast’s Slash. Because of your beast-like features, you have a climbing speed of 20 feet. In addition, your body is a natural Weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. You can choose to deal slashing for your unarmed strikes, and your unarmed strike damage dice becomes a minimum of 1d6.

Animal Instinct. You have proficiency in the Perception and Stealth Skills.

Electro. You know the Shocking Grasp cantrip. Wisdom is your Spellcasting Ability for this Spell. Additionally, you are Resistant to lightning damage.

Sulong Transformation. Starting at 3rd Level, you can use your action to channel moonlight energy into your body and transform into a powerful bright white primal form with longer hair and enhanced size, bolstering your strength, speed, and electro.

Your transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a Bonus Action. During it, your speed increases by 10 feet, you have advantage on strength checks, and once on each of your turns, you can deal extra electric damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an Attack or a spell. The extra electric damage equals your level.

Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Yokai Tribesman

There are several races of human-like tribes that have greatly moderated or exaggerated features that set them apart from regular people. These races are called the yokai tribes (though not officially), due to their resemblance to certain yokai in Japanese folklore. Only so much is known about these tribes in the One Piece world.

There are three main types of yokai tribes to choose from: the longleg tribe, the longarm tribe, and the three-eye tribe.

Yokai Tribesman Traits

Your yokai tribesman will have these traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 1.

Third Eye (Optional). Three-eyed tribesmen can all speak and understand the universal spoken language of this world. Additionally, some can awaken their third eye to be able to read and understand the language of the Poneglyphs (up to DM discretion).

Cyborg

As the name would imply, this race includes any human or life form that has had their body altered using metal or robotic parts. Typically, this might only include surface-level alterations, such as steel skin or a robotic hand. However, cyborgs may vary in how much of their body has been modified. Regardless of the degree of modification, they will always still have several parts of them that remain organic.

Cyborg Traits

Your cyborg will have these traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2, and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1.

Age. Depending on how much of their body has been modified, cyborgs may have longer lifespans compared to other races. In theory, they are should still remain mortal so long as parts of them still remain organic.

Alignment. It can be assumed that many cyborgs act Lawfully, but they can technically fall under any alignment.

Size. Cyborgs in the One Piece World are typically 5-6 feet tall. Some can rest far outside this range, but your size will count as medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Steel Skin. Your body has a layer of defensive metal beneath or replacing your skin, which can be enhanced with armor:

• You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
• To reinforce your metal skin, first you must disassemble a piece of mundane or magical armor. After doing so, you must spend an hour consistently incorporating these parts into your skin. Once you are finished, you gain the AC and bonuses of your chosen armor as if you were wearing it, as well as all of the side-effects of that armor. To remove this armor, you must spend an hour replacing it with artificial skin.
• This metal skin cannot be removed from your body against your will.

Robotic Resistance. You have advantage on Saving Throws against being Poisoned, and you have Resistance to poison damage.

Refueling. In place of eating food and drinking water each day, you must instead consume an equivalent amount of fuel to what a normal creature of your size would eat. The type of fuel you use can range from cola to gasoline (your choice), which costs roughly ฿5,000. Starvation rules apply to consuming fuel as they would with food for another race.

Maintenance. Instead of sleeping each day, you instead conduct maintenance on your body during a Long Rest. This includes oiling your joints, repairing any dents or broken parts, or fixing anything else you'd need to maintain. This takes at least six hours to complete. You are able to see and hear normally while you complete these tasks.

Optional Races

These optional races are intended to be used for games where the Dungeon Master approves of the use of races that might interfere with the game balance in a way that might feel unfair to some.

If these races don't fit into the way you want to run your game, feel free to leave them out or repurpose them for use as NPCs.

Dwarf [Optional]

Dwarves are a race of smaller humanoids, some small enough to fit into the palms of many medium-sized races' hands. Many can be considered gullible and are often convinced or tricked into work for others.

Work as Slaves. Despite how cute and innocent they appear, many are still abused and preyed on by humans and other races. Dwarves can often be sold as slaves, as they are seen on a list of slave prices. For this reason, many of them try to live in secret away from outside societies.

Strength and Speed. Dwarves possess immense strength that allows them to shatter stone with ease. Additionally, they are incredibly slippery and hard to spot, allowing them to evade just about any attempt to catch them. For these reasons, they are often considered to be akin to the stories of fairies.

Age. Dwarves reach adulthood in their teens and live for around a century.

Lunarian [Optional]

Lunarians are a nearly extinct race of humanoids with feathered wings and the ability to control and produce fire to use as a weapon. Very few, if any, exist in the world as most of them suddenly disappeared and were thought to be eradicated.

Race of Gods. Lunarians were once revered as a tribe of "gods" living on the planet. Living on the Red Line long before the Celestial Dragons, they had a kingdom built on it referred to as "Kami no Kuni" or "Land of the Gods". However, at some point the tribe was thought to have went extinct. Though there are thought to be a few survivors to this day, the World Government viciously hunts any Lunarians and will place large bounties on any they can't locate themselves.

Physical Features. Lunarians are large humanoids with feathered black wings. Their wings have no real limitations, and allow them to fly at blinding speeds. The ones that exist today have dark skin with silver-white hair. They also have a large fire plume emanating from their upper back which ignites and burns out occasionally. Their height and physique is typically massive, although it may vary accross individuals. These incredible features grant them superhuman powers, durability, and the ability to travel and live in just about any location above land.

Burning Bodies. Producing red flames from their bodies using their ability to "hakka" or ignite, they can also manipulate these flames in a variety of ways. The flame on the back of a lunarian reflects the speed and durability of its body, with its flame appearing larger when its fighting defensively or appearing smaller when its prioritizing agility. A Lunarian's flame can also be used to coat its limbs or weapons so that it can be used effectively in combat.

Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Elbaf Giant [Optional]

Elbaf giants are a race of massive humanoids that possess otherworldly strength and abilities. Many are dozens of feet tall and can be more than ten times the size of a regular sized person. Regular humans and non-humans are nowhere near as strong as them, making most giants some of the fiercest and deadliest warriors on the planet.

Residents of Elbaf. Elbaf is a large kingdom inhabited by giants, often famed for its unmatched strength when compared to other countries around the world. Many brave and nearly invincible warriors hail from here, leading many other races to either greatly fear or respect Elbaf as a whole. Having the warriors of elbaf as an ally is a surefire way to win almost any war. Even the marines often show fear of Elbaf's army, which shows how truly unmatched their warriors are.

Super Giants. While giants are already nearly unbeatable, the much larger Ancient Giants have also been rumored to have existed in the past. Due to their sheer size and strength, they are capable of sizing up battleships or even fortresses. Allegedly, some ancient giants could move entire islands or continents. These giants often stand many times taller than even the tallest ordinary giant, sometimes up to 200 feet tall. Their appearance alone has the power to send fear through any solider or pirate, often resembling a colossal ogre or oni. Very few of these giants still exist today, as many have gone extinct.

Elbaf Giant Traits

Your giant will have these traits.

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24. Your Dexterity score decreases by 2, and your Intelligence score decreases by 3.

Age. Giants can live for up to 300+ years.

Warrior Training. You have proficiency with the Battleaxe, Handaxe, Light Hammer, Longsword, Club, and Spear.

Sheer Size. You have proficiency in the Athletics and Intimidation skills.

Overwhelming Charisma. Tales of you and your race's pride have spread throughout the world. Not only are you constantly oozing confidence in these things, but you can use your words to inspire and raise the spirits of your allies. Whenever you complete a Long Rest with your party, you can choose to spend 5 minutes making an inspiring speech, granting up to 5 allied creatures of your choice gain temporary HP equal to your proficiency bonus.

(Note: Once again, this race is incredibly overpowered so I wouldn't recommend using it in a balanced campaign. However, you may still choose to include this player race in your game if you so desire. Or you can decide to use it for NPC or enemy stat sheets.)

Chapter 3: Classes

Pirates and explorers, driven by a desire for gold, power, and influence, aspire to reach new heights in their adventures. The morality of pirates can vary depending on the nature of your campaign, with many willing to face and overcome challenges that would deter ordinary individuals. While many powerful pirates may be primarily motivated by the pursuit of the One Piece, their fundamental driving force should be exploration and experiencing the world.

Classes shape a character's strengths, occupations, and talents as they navigate and overcome new challenges throughout their journey. They define a character's role within a crew and their relationship with the world and its inhabitants. Different classes leverage different Ability Scores, so it's wise to choose a class that aligns with your character's particular strengths and weaknesses. While many of these classes and subclasses draw heavily from those existing within the One Piece world, players are not limited to these choices. Feel free to incorporate any classes or features from the official D&D 5th Edition rules that you prefer, with DM oversight.

Class Skill and Ability Terminology

The major distinction between a medium like D&D and One Piece is that instead of creatures utilizing magic, runes, and spellcasting, most "supernatural" or "otherworldly" powers manifest as spiritual energy or high-tech phenomena throughout the world. Consequently, you might view magic as a byproduct of scientific innovation or natural phenomena.

For instance, when considering how certain spells, like "counterspell" or "dispel magic," might function in this setting, you could interpret anyone possessing these abilities as having the capacity to drain "energy or power" from adversaries or objects.

However, to avert confusion in some sections, either set of terminology provided below may be used interchangeably. You also have the liberty to swap certain terms around in your campaign when engaging with players and the DM. The term equivalents are as follows:

Bruiser

Class Features

As a Bruiser, you gain the following class features.

Hit Points

Hit Dice: 1d12 per bruiser level

Hit Points at 1st Level: 12 + your Constitution modifier

Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d12 (or 7) + your Constitution modifier per bruiser level after 1st

Proficiencies

Armor: None

Weapons: Simple weapons, improvised weapons, cutlasses

Tools: None

Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution

Skills: Choose two skills from Acrobatics, Athletics, Persuasion, Intimidation, Perception, Animal Handling, and Survival.

Equipment

• (a) a cutlass or (b) any simple weapon
• (a) a pirate’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack
• (a) a set of artisan’s tools or (b) a gaming set

Scrapper

At 1st level, your life of scrapping and battling with beasts, humans, or other tough creatures has given you mastery of Combat styles that use unarmed strikes and bruiser weapons, which are simple melee weapons without the two-handed property, cutlasses, and improvised weapons. You can not use the finesse property of a weapon while using it as a bruiser weapon.

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

• You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or bruiser weapon. This die changes as you gain bruiser levels, as shown in the scrapper column on the bruiser table.
• When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a bruiser weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike or grapple as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and Attack with a Club, you can also make an Unarmed Strike or grapple as a Bonus Action, assuming you haven’t already taken a Bonus Action this turn.

Unarmored Defense

While you are not wearing any armor and not using a shield, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.

Fury

Starting at 2nd Level, your Training allows you to harness Fury, raw power and energy that stems from your spirit. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of Fury points. Your bruiser level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Fury Points column of the Bruiser table.

You can spend these points to fuel various Fury features. You start knowing three such features: Machine Gun Blows, Brute Force, and Brace for Impact. You learn more Fury features as you gain levels in this class.

When you spend a Fury point, it is unavailable until you finish a Short or Long Rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended Fury back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest training to regain your Fury points.

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

Fury save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Constitution modifier

Machine Gun Blows

Immediately after you take the Attack action on Your Turn, you can spend 1 fury point to make two unarmed strikes or bruiser weapon attacks as a Bonus Action.

Brute Force

You can use a bonus action and expend 1 fury point to make a shove attack or take the Dash action.

Brace for Impact

You can use your Fury to grit your teeth and withstand physical injuries. You can use a bonus action and spend 1 fury point to prepare for any incoming attack. You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your scrapper die + your bruiser level.

Charge Right Through

At 2nd level, your spirit has grown to be able to resist harmful effects or hazards.

So long as you have at least 1 Fury point remaining, you have advantage on constitution saving throws against traps, spells, poison, disease, or breath attacks. To gain this benefit, you can’t be Incapacitated.

Brawling Style

At 3rd Level, you choose and develop a way of brawling that best defines your fighting style: Black Fist Style, Dragon Style, or Beast Style. all detailed at the end of the class description. Your brawling style grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 11th, and 17th level.

Blood for Brawn

Starting at 3rd level, when you are reduced to half your hit point maximum or less, you can use your reaction to gain temporary hit points equal to a roll of your scrapper die + Bruiser level and you regain all expended fury points. You cannot use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

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. Alternatively, you can take a feat listed in Chapter 6. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Thrill of the Fight

At 4th level, you are filled with an overwhelming sense of reckless excitement or rage during battle. As a bonus action, you enter a bloodthirsty frenzy.

While frenzied, you gain the following benefits and downsides as long as you aren't using a shield or wearing heavy armor:

• You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
• When a creature you can see within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to make an unarmed strike or bruiser weapon attack against the creature.
• Attack rolls against you have advantage.

If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while in your frenzy.

Your frenzy 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 frenzy on your turn as a bonus action.

Once you have used your frenzy a number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus, you must finish a long rest before you can enter it again.

Extra Attack

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

Rampage

Starting at 5th level, you can make reckless attacks against enemies, making your fighting style a double-edged sword. When you hit a target with an unarmed strike or bruiser weapon, you can choose to deal additional damage to it equal to your scrapper die. If you do so, you must roll another scrapper die and deal the result in force damage to yourself as a part of the attack.

Fast Movement

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

Spirit Assault

Starting at 6th level, you've instinctively learned how to incorporate a little bit of haki into your attacks. Your unarmed strikes and bruiser weapon count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage.

Frenzied Rush

At 7th level, as part of the bonus action you take to enter your frenzy, you can move up to half your speed.

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 frenzy before doing anything else on that turn.

Undying Frenzy

Starting at 13th level, your frenzy keeps you fighting despite lethal injuries. If you drop to 0 hit points while you're in a frenzy 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.

Focused Fury

Beginning at 14th level, you regain 1 expended fury point whenever you enter your frenzy.

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

Tireless Training

Starting at 15th level, your carrying capacity is doubled. Your standard jumping distance is the same as your running start jump distance.

Additionally, when you gain a level of exhaustion from a forced march, you can choose to ignore it. You cannot use this feature this way again until you complete a long rest.

The King

At 20th level, you are truly the strongest. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 2. Your maximum for those scores is now 22. Additionally, when you complete a long rest you regain all expended hit dice instead of half your expended hit dice.

Brawling Styles

Despite how easy it may be to generalize the brutish ways of a bruiser, each have a fairly distinct way of fighting. It may depend on their spirit, special attacks, or the way fury fuels their power. This comes in the form of using different fighting styles, typically representing how they were raised and taught to fight, and how they continue to train.

Black Fist Style

Similar to how the "Black Leg Style" utilizes kicks, this style is used by those who primarily use their fists as weapons. Many who utilize this style are often feared for their display of otherworldly strength, speed, defense, and use of haki in battle. The spirit of those who use this style is often heroic, with a hint of bloodlust. Black fist style is named after the way its users coat their limbs in extremely dark and thick layers of haki.

Bonus Proficiency

You have trained to unlock the upper limits of your strength. You gain proficiency with the Athletics Skill. If you are already proficient, you gain proficiency in the Acrobatics or Insight skill instead.

Demon Stance

At 6th level, you may unlock any one "Uncommon" Color of Armament Haki Advancement feat from Chapter 7 of this book. If you have already taken all the uncommon armament haki feats, you may take an uncommon haki advancement feat under a different color of haki, assuming you meet the prerequisites.

Bone Crusher

At 11th level, you can perform a variety of combat maneuvers while you are grappling an opponent within 5 feet of you:

• You can perform a mighty headbutt on a creature you are grappling. If you deal damage with an unarmed strike against a creature you are grappling, their attacks will have disadvantage until the start of your next turn. You can only use this once per turn.
• You can perform a backbreaker on a creature you are grappling. If you deal damage with an unarmed strike against a creature you are grappling, you can spend 1 fury point to attempt to stun them. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be Stunned until the end of your next turn. You can only use this once per turn.
• When you take the attack action, you may spend 1 or more fury points to perform a suplex on a creature your size or larger you are grappling. They must make a Constitution saving throw against your Fury Save DC. On a failed save, the target takes the number of fury points spent + 3 scrapper die in bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone, or only takes half as much damage on a successful one. After this effect is used, the grapple ends.

Black Fist Master

At 17th level, you may unlock any one "Very Rare" or lower Color of Armament Haki Advancement feat from Chapter 7. If you have already taken all the very rare and lower armament haki feats, you may take a very rare or lower haki advancement feat under a different color of haki, assuming you meet the prerequisites.

Dragon Style

This brawling style can be best described as a fierce style that emulates the pride and might of a dragon. This style uses a mixture of Unarmed Strikes and Weapon Attacks. Users of the dragon style are fierce fighters that crush and pulverize their enemies with raw strength, guided by the wrath of a dragon spirit surrounding them. Very few have ever lived to see this style used at its full potential.

Dragon Stance

Starting at 3rd level, your limbs are surrounding by the aura of a mighty dragon. when you damage a target with an unarmed strike or bruiser weapon attack, you can change the damage type to fire, cold, or lightning.

Choose a damage type: fire, cold, or lightning. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Fury save DC, taking damage of the chosen type equal to two rolls of your Scrapper die on a failure, or half as much damage on a success.

At 11th level, the damage of your breath increases to three rolls of your Scrapper die.

Thunderous Leap

At 6th level, you gain the blinding speed of a dragon. When you use Brute Force, instead of taking the shove attack or Dash action, you can teleport up to 30 feet toward a point you can see and gain advantage on your next attack.

Conqueror of Three Worlds

At 11th level, you are able to emit a larger blast of draconic energy.

As an action, you can expend 2 Fury points to hit the ground, where it erupts everything around you with energy for a brief but deadly instant.

Any creature of your choice within 20 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Fury save DC. A creature takes fire, thunder, or lightning damage equal to two scrapper die + your Constitution modiifer on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one.

Dragon Emperor

At 17th level, when you enter into your frenzy using Thrill of the Fight, you surround yourself with an aura of draconic spirit energy for 1 minute. You shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet from this aura. You can extinguish or restore the light as a Bonus Action. You gain the following abilities while this effect is active:

• If an enemy you can see hits you with an attack within 30 feet, you can use your reaction to deal a Scrapper die in fire, cold, or lightning damage to them.

• When you damage a creature with your Dragon's breath, the energy clings to the target if they failed the save. At the start of each of the creature’s turns, it takes damage of the type dealt equal to one roll of your Scrapper die. At the end of its turn, the creature can repeat the save, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Beast Style

Certain great fighters desire a powerful companion in battle. Bruiser that utilize the beast style have developed a special bond with nature, allowing them to tame the fearsome beasts they might find along their journey. Through mutual respect and coordination, these bruisers and their companions make for a deadly duo.

Bonus Proficiency

When you choose this style at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the Animal Handling skill. If you are already proficient, you gain proficiency with the Nature or Survival skill instead.

Beast Companion

Starting at 3rd level when you learn this style, you begin to use your strength and skills to create a powerful bond with a creature of the natural world.

With 8 hours of work and the expenditure of ฿250,000 worth of rare herbs or fine food, you discover an animal to serve as your faithful companion. You normally select you companion from among the following animals: an ape, a black bear, a boar, a giant badger, a giant weasel, a mule, a panther, or a wolf. However, your DM might also pick one of these animals for you, based on the surrounding terrain and on what types of creatures would logically be present in the area.

At the end of the 8 hours, your beast companion appears and gains all the benefits of your Companion’s Bond ability. You can have only one animal companion at a time.

If your beast companion is ever slain, the bond you share allows you to return it to life by reincarnating it. With 8 hours of work and the expenditure of ฿250,000 worth of rare herbs or fine food, you call forth your companion’s spirit to find a new body for it. You can return a beast companion to life in this manner in any location, even without having its body with you.

If you use this ability to return a former animal companion to life while you have a current beast companion, your current companion leaves you and is replaced by the restored companion.

Companion’s Bond

Your animal companion gains a variety of benefits while it is linked to you.

The animal companion loses its Multiattack action, if it has one.

The companion obeys your commands as best it can. You can use a bonus action on each of your turns to verbally command your companion to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, or Help action that turn. It can also use its movement at any point during your turn. It does not have its own turn unless you are incapacitated or absent, in which case your companion acts on its own and rolls initiative. Your companion never requires your command to use its reaction, such as when making an opportunity attack.

Your animal companion has abilities and game statistics determined in part by your level. Your companion uses your proficiency bonus rather than its own. You add your proficiency bonus to your companion’s AC, saving throws, attack rolls, and damage rolls

Your animal companion gains proficiency in two skills of your choice. It also becomes proficient with all saving throws. For each level you gain after 3rd, your animal companion gains an additional hit die determined by the creature's hit dice and increases its hit points and maximum by rolling its hit die and adding its constitution modifier to the total, then increasing its maximum hit points by that amount.

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

Your companion shares your interests and alignment, and has personality traits and a design of your choice (with DM assistance if required.)

Beast Stance

At 3rd level, you share your food, water, shelter, and training sessions with your beast companion. Additionally, you both learn to coordinate in battle using your brawling techniques. You share the following Fury abilities:

Machine Gun Blows. When you use this fury ability, your companion can make one or both attacks instead of you.

Brute Force. When you use this fury ability, your companion can take the Dash action.

Brace for Impact. When you gain temporary hit points from this fury ability, your companion also gains the same amount of temporary hit points.

Bestial Spirit Assault

At 6th level, your companion's attacks also count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage.

Primal Coordination

Also at 6th level, you and your beast companion begin to flawlessly coordinate attacks. When you use the Attack action on your turn, if your companion can see you, it can use its reaction to make a melee attack.

Vicious Mauling

At 11th level, you can spend 1 Fury point as a bonus action to have your beast companion make a melee attack against each creature of its choice within 5 feet of it, with a separate attack roll for each target.

Chain Frenzy

Beginning at 17th level, when you enter your frenzy using Thrill of the Fight, your beast companion also gains certain benefits. It gains resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage and deals an extra amount of damage on each of its attacks equal to half of your Proficiency bonus (rounded up) for 1 minute unless it falls unconscious or your frenzy ends early.

Chemist

Class Features

As a chemist, you gain the following class features.

Hit Points

Hit Dice: 1d8 per chemist level

Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier

Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 6) + your Constitution modifier per chemist level after 1st

Proficiencies

Armor: Light armor, medium armor, shields

Weapons: Clubs, daggers, darts, javelins, maces, quarterstaffs, scimitars, sickles, slings, spears

Tools: Herbalism kit, Alchemist's Supplies

Saving Throws: Intelligence, Wisdom

Skills: Choose two from Arcana, Animal Handling, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Perception, Religion, and Survival

Equipment

You start with the following equip⁠ment, in addition to the equipment⁠ granted by your background:

• (a) a shield or (b) any simple weapon
• (a) a scimitar or (b) any simple melee weapon
• Thick shirt, an explorer's pack, and alchemist's supplies

Alchemical Symbols

You understand how to read alchemical symbols written in ancient blueprints or advanced technology. These symbols are a secret code thought up by the brightest alchemists in the past, and you can quickly and intuitively understand their secret meaning. You and others who know this language automatically spot such a message. Others spot the message's presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but can't decipher it without special powers.

Invention Power (Spellcasting)

Drawing on the divine essence of chemical composition and alchemy, you can use various invention powers (spells) to shape that essence to your will. Invention Powers are the equivalent of "Spells" in 5th edition, and invention power slots are the same as "Spell Slots". Make sure to view the "Casting a Spell" section in the Player's Handbook for understanding Spellcasting in 5th Edition D&D. Chemist creation powers count as Chemist Spells in chapter 8.

Natural Abilities (Cantrips)

At 1st level, you know two natural abilities (cantrips) of your choice from the chemist spell list in chapter 8. You learn additional chemist cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the natural abilities (Cantrips) Known column of the Chemist table.

Preparing and Casting Invention Powers (Spells)

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

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

For example, if you are a 3rd-level chemist, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level invention power slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared invention powers can include six invention powers of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level invention power (spell) Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the invention power doesn't remove it from your list of prepared invention powers. You can also change your list of prepared invention powers (spells) when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of chemist invention powers requires time spent in deep study: at least 1 minute per invention power level for each invention power on your list.

Invention (Spellcasting) Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your chemist invention powers (spells), since your power draws upon your devotion and attunement to chemistry and science. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a chemist invention power you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Invention save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Invention attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast a chimest invention power (spell) as a ritual if that invention power (spell) has the ritual tag and you have the invention power prepared.

Invention (Spellcasting) Focus

You can use a alchemist's supplies as a spellcasting focus for your chemist Invention powers.

Monster Mutation

Starting at 2nd level, using a chemical concoction to alter your lineage factor, you can use your action to transform yourself into the form of an abomination. You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Your chemist level determines the abomination you can transform into, as shown in the Abominations table. Stat blocks for Chemist abominations are available at the end of the class features.

You can stay in your abomination form for a number of hours equal to half your chemist level (rounded down). You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the abomination, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
• When you transform, you assume the abomination's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form, For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
• You can't cast special powers (spells), and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your abomination form. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a special power (spell) you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a special power (spell), such as Call Lightning, that you've already cast.
• If you have Devil Fruit powers, you cannot use them while in this form, as your lineage factor is temporarily disrupted.
• You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
• You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

Chemist Study

At 2nd level, you choose to study an additional field of science alongside chemistry, incorporating the two together. Choose Botany, Medicine, or Genetics, 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. Alternatively, you can take a feat listed in Chapter 6. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Additionally, whenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can replace one natural ability (cantrip) you learned from this class's Invention Power (Spellcasting) feature with another cantrip from the chemist spell list.

Immortality Research

Starting at 18th level, the chemical knowledge that you possess allows you to develop medicine that makes you to age more slowly. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year. This medicine only works on you.

Abomination Powers

Beginning at 18th level, you can cast many of your invention powers (spells) in any shape you assume using your Monster Mutation. You can perform the somatic and verbal components of a invention power while in an abomination form, but you aren't able to provide material components.

Perfected Mutation

At 20th level, you can use your Monster Mutation an unlimited number of times.

Additionally, you can ignore the verbal and somatic components of your chemist invention powers (spells), as well as any material components that lack a cost and aren't consumed by a invention power (spell). You gain this benefit in both your normal shape and your abomination form.

Chemist Studies

All chemists spend a majority of their time studying various fields of science to incorporate into their own research. Which other field you decide to specialize in may depend on if you prefer more monstrous transformations, greater invention powers, or the ability to support your allies with chemical conconctions.

Botany

Botanists will often focus on the landscape and plantlife in foreign lands, enabling greater innovations and herbal remedies or concotions.

Bonus Natural Ability (Cantrip)

When you choose this study at 2nd level, you learn one additional chemist cantrip of your choice. This cantrip doesn’t count against the number of chemist natural abilities (cantrips) you know.

Herbal Remedy

Starting at 2nd level, you can regain some of your creative energy by consuming herbal concotions you've prepared from gathering special local plants. During a short rest, you choose expended invention power slots to recover. The invention power slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your chemist level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

For example, when you are a 4th-level chemist, you can recover up to two levels worth of invention power slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level slot or two 1st-level slots.

Field Invention Powers (Spells)

Your deep connection and understading of nature and plantlife enables you to advance your research far beyond ordinary levels. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to special invention powers depending on the plantlife in the region you primarily study. Choose that land – arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or underground – and consult the associated list of invention powers.

Once you gain access to a field invention power, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a invention power (spell) that doesn't appear on the chemist spell list, the spell is nonetheless a chemist invention power for you.

Nature's Step

Starting at 6th level, moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard.

In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such as those created by the Entangle spell.

Botanist's Antidote

When you reach 10th level, you can't be charmed or frightened by elementals or fey, and you are immune to poison and disease.

Natural Repellent

When you reach 14th level, you develop plant-based fragrances that make wild creatures hesitant to attack you. When a beast or plant creature attacks you, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your chemist invention save DC. On a failed save, the creature must choose a different target, or the attack automatically misses. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours.

The creature is aware of this effect before it makes its attack against you.

Medicine

The field of medicine allows scientists to develop a wide variety of synthetic and natural remedies alike to treat and heal those in need.

Healing Balm

At 2nd level, you develop a healing spray that works on allies even from a distance. You have a supply of this medicine represented by a number of d6s equal to your chemist level.

As a bonus action, you can choose an ally you can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of those dice equal to half your chemist level or less. Roll the spent dice and add them together. The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total. The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.

You regain the expended dice when you finish a long rest.

Medical Tent

At 6th level, through your study of field medics, you've learned how to set up advanced tents that guard your comrades while they rest inside. During a short or long rest, you can set up a sensor that detects intruders up to a 30-foot-radius around the tent where your allies rest.

While in the sensor's radius, you and your allies gain a +5 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) and Wisdom (Perception) checks, and any light from open flames in the radius (a campfire, torches, or the like) isn't visible outside the radius

The sensor vanishes at the end of the rest or when you leave the radius.

Instant Rescue

Starting at 10th level, you develop technology that allows you to blink over to a different point in space. As a bonus action on your turn, you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Alternatively, you can use your action to teleport one willing creature you touch up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.

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

Brain Imaging

At 14th level, you develop a brain imaging device that allows you to be able to enter dreams and use special powers.

When you finish a short rest, you can cast one of the following invention powers (spells), without expending a invention power slot or requiring material components: Dream (with you as the messenger) and Scrying

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

Genetics

This field of science allows those who study it to heavily modify lineage factors and the genetics of living creatures. Geneticists are capable of creating a new level of mutations in their subjects.

Combat Mutation

When you choose this study at 2nd level, you gain the ability to use Monster Mutation on your turn as a bonus action, rather than as an action.

Additionally, while you are transformed by your Monster Mutation, you can use a bonus action to expend one invention power (spell) slot to regain 1d8 hit points per level of the invention power slot expended.

Special Monster Mutations

The study of your field grants you the ability to transform into more dangerous abominations. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Monster Mutation to transform into the Claw or Beast Abomination.

Starting at 6th level, you also gain the ability to transform into special abominations listed in the below advanced table, determined by your Chemist level.

Monsterous Strikes

Starting at 6th level, your attacks in abomination form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Elemental Mutation

At 10th level, you can expend two uses of Monster Mutation at the same time to transform into an air elemental, an earth elemental, a fire elemental, or a water elemental instead of an abomination.

Thousand Mutations

By 14th level, you have learned to use your studies to alter your physical form in more subtle ways. You can cast the Alter Self invention power (spell) at will.

Devil Fruit Infusion (Spellcasting)

You have mastered the art of infusing items with Devil Fruit powers through the use of "Green Blood", which you have acquired by some means. Green Blood is made up of the synthesized lineage factors of Devil Fruits, which allows you to replicate the magical powers of Devil Fruits through your equipment. Through the use of these artificially infused items, which serve as your spellcasting focus, you can use a variety of powers (spells) to aid you in battle or adventure. Devil powers are the equivalent of "Spells" in 5th edition, and devil power slots are the same as "Spell Slots". Make sure to view the "Casting a Spell" section in the Player's Handbook for understanding Spellcasting in 5th Edition D&D. Devilforged powers count as Devilforged Spells in chapter 8.

Natural Abilities (Cantrips)

At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the devilforged spell list in Chapter 8, and can use them as natural abilities. You learn additional devilforged cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Natural Abilities (Cantrips) Known column of the Devilforged table.

Devil Power (Spell) Slots

The Devilforged table shows how many Devil Power (Spell) slots you have to cast your devil powers of 1st through 5th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your slots are the same level. To cast one of your Devil Powers of 1st level or higher, you must expend a Power (spell) slot. You regain all expended power (spell) slots when you finish a short or long rest.

For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level power (spell) slots. To cast the 1st-level power (spell) witch bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.

Devil Powers (Spells) Known of 1st Level and Higher

At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the devilforged spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Devilforged table shows when you learn more devilforged spells of your choice of 1st level or higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new devilforged spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.

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

Devil Power (Spellcasting) Ability

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

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

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Infused Item (Spellcasting Focus)

You produce your devilforged powers (spells) and effects through a special devil fruit-infused item you possess. You must have a power (spellcasting) focus - specifically some kind of weapon, armor, tool, or other item that is infused with devil fruit powers - in hand when you cast any power (spell) with this (spellcasting) feature. You must be proficient with the item to use it this way. See Chapter 5 in this book for descriptions of these items.

Once you have chosen one item or piece of equipment you wish to have infused, it becomes your power (spellcasting) focus. You cannot have more than one item infused with devil fruit powers in this way. If you wish to move the essence stored within your current infused item of choice into a new item or create a new infused item after losing your old one, you must spend 1 hour during a long rest to move the Green Blood from your old weapon into the new item and removing them from the old item. You must be proficient with this new item. In addition, you may choose to infuse items that are connected to your body, but not made of flesh. For example, a cyborg's iron fists may have devil fruit powers infused into them through green blood, without the cyborg itself having consumed a devil fruit, because they are technically not a part of the cyborg's natural body.

Due to the infusion of multiple devil fruits' essence into your item through the use of Green Blood, the exact devil fruit power it possesses may not be clear. Instead, your item has an infusion of many different powers you have collected through researching, hunting, and foraging for devil fruits. It should not be treated as a creature that has consumed a devil fruit power, but instead as a tool that grows in power with it's user over time. In addition, the item has the weaknesses of a devil fruit user in that it cannot be used as a power (spellcasting) focus while it is more than half-submerged in water or touching seastone.

Devilsmith

At 1st level, you have developed a particular style of devilsmithing which determines the types of equipment or items you specialize at infusing with. You can choose between Gear Smithing, Blade Smithing, and Firearm Smithing, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

Sea Devil's Emanations

In your exploration of the origins of Devil Fruit powers through synthesizing their lineage factors, you have uncovered the true nature of the Sea Devil's energies that imbue these powers, now capable of being released from your infused item.

At 2nd level, you gain two sea devil emanations of your choice. When you gain certain devilforged levels, you gain additional emanations of your choice, as shown in the Emanations Known column of the Devilfoged table. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the emanations you know and replace it with another emanation that you could learn at that level.

Infused Devil Fruit Category

At 3rd level, you are able to further develop the abilities of your devil fruit-infused item to closer match the abilities of a specific devil fruit category, which are paramecia, zoan, or logia. You gain one of the following features of your choice.

• Paramecia Infusion

  • Your infused item develops special enhanced properties, similar to that of a paramecia-type devil fruit user. You can use your action to activate an item's paramecia powers, transforming it into a weapon (unless it is already a weapon). While activated, you can choose the form that this weapon takes each time you activate it, allowing it to become any type of weapon listed in Chapter 5. You are proficient with it while you wield it. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

  • Your infused weapon returns to your hand if it is more than 5 feet away from your for 1 minute or more. Additionally, you can return it back to its original form by deactivating its paramecia powers (no action required). Its powers disappear if you die, or if it becomes partially submerged in water or touches seastone.

• Zoan Infusion

  • Your infused item is capable of breaking a piece of itself off or stretching out, and transforms into a specific type of creature, similar to a zoan-type devil fruit user. You learn the find familiar spell and cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn't count against your number of spells known. The familiar dissipates and returns to its original form when it becomes more than half-submerged in water or touches seastone. When the familiar disappears, the disconnected piece of your infused item returns to its original place.

  • When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of the following special forms to better fit your item's zoan type: imp, pseudodragon, quasit, or sprite. Your DM may allow you to choose another form not listed here, using a custom stat block or another known creature.

  • Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to make one attack with its reaction.

• Logia Infusion

  • Your infused item is now capable of transforming itself into a specific type of element, similar to a logia-type devil fruit user. Using its powers, you are able to choose three cantrips from any class's spell list (the three needn't be from the same list). While you are holding this infused item, you can cast those cantrips at will. They don't count against your number of cantrips known. If they don't appear on the devilforged spell list, they are nonetheless Devilforged spells for you.

  • Choose one of the following damage types: fire, cold, lightning, radiant, necrotic, acid, poison, slashing, bludgeoning, or piercing. When you cast a cantrip using your infused item, you may choose to replace any of the cantrip's original damage types with your selected damage type, reflecting the logia element it represents. After selecting a damage type using this feature, it becomes fixed; you cannot subsequently choose a different damage type from this list to replace the damage type in your infused weapon's cantrips.

  • If you lose your infused item, you can telepathically will it to dematerialize into an elemental form and return to you within 1 hour. If the infused item is more than half-submerged in water or touching seastone, it cannot return to you this way. The infused item loses its elemental energy and it returns to its normal form when you die.

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. Alternatively, you can take a feat listed in Chapter 6. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Additionally, when you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can do one of the following, representing the increased power of your infused item:

• Replace one cantrip you learned from this class's Devil Fruit Infusion feature with another cantrip from the devilforged spell list.
• Replace the option you chose for the Infused Devil Fruit Category feature with one of that feature's other options.

If this change makes you ineligible for any of your Sea Devil's Emanations, you must also replace them now, choosing emanations for which you qualify.

Fiendish Assimilation

At 11th level, your devil fruit item develops immense newfound powers. Choose one 6th-level power (spell) from the devilforged spell list as this new power.

You can cast your Fiendish Assimilation power (spell) once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

At higher levels, you gain more devilforged spells of your choice that can be cast in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th level, one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Fiendish Assimilation when you finish a long rest.

Alternatively, you can choose to incorporate or "steal" the essence of other great Devil Fruit powers into your infused item. When you see a Devil Fruit spell or spell effect within 30 feet of you, you may use your reaction to "store" a portion of the energy of that spell into your infused item, making it your new Fiendish Assimilation spell. The maximum level of the spell stolen must be equal to your current Fiendish Assimilation spell level. For example, if you are 13th level, you can only steal up to 7th-level spells created by a Devil Fruit power and store them into your infused item.

If you wish to remove the stolen Devil Fruit spell and return to using your original Fiendish Assimilation spell, you must spend 1 hour during a Short or Long rest removing the essence of the stolen spell and return the power of your original chosen Fiendish Assimilation spell. You cannot use the stolen spell again once it is removed from your infused item, unless you steal it again using this feature.

Devil's Bounty

At 20th level, you can release a surge of energy from within your Devil Fruit-infused item, allowing you to regain expended power (spell) slots. To do so, you must spend 1 minute focusing on your infused item in order to regain all your expended spell slots from your Devil Fruit Infusion (Spellcasting) feature. Once you regain spell slots with this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

Devilsmith Style

Devilforged have a variety of methods of infusing Devil Fruit powers into their equipment and items. However, whichever type of items you tend to infuse the most will determine your Devilsmith style.

Gear Smithing

Devilforged who prioritize infusing their equipment, armor, tools, or worn items are known as "Gear Smiths". This grants you enhanced protection, proficiency, and physical ability.

Expanded Power (Spell) List

The Gear Smithing subclass lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a devilforged spell. The following spells are added to the devilforged spell list for you.

When you make an ability check or a saving throw, you can use this feature to add a d10 to your roll. You can do so after seeing the initial roll but before any of the roll's effects occur.

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

Resilient Equipment

Starting at 10th level, you can choose one damage type when you finish a short or long rest. You gain resistance to that damage type until you choose a different one with this feautre. Damage from magical weapons, haki-coated weapons, or silver weapons ignores this resistance.

Devilish Reconstruction

When you reach 14th level, you are able to use your equipment to quickly and efficiently mend your injuries. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your devilforged level. Additionally, if you put a severed body part of yours back in place when you use this feature, the part reattaches.

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

Blade Smithing

Devilforged who prioritize infusing their weapons for dueling and close-combat. This grants you enhanced damage, weapon proficiency, and fighting potential.

Expanded Power (Spell) List

The Blade Smithing subclass lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a devilforged spell. The following spells are added to the devilforged spell list for you.

Devil's Branding

Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to burn a special brand or mark onto someone. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed by the devil's brand for 1 minute. The curse ends and the brand disappears early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:

• You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the branded target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
• Any attack roll you make against the branded target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
• If the branded target dies, you regain hit points equal to your devilforged level + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).

You can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

Hell's Duelist

At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial melee weapons.

The experience you have gained in working with infusing various devil fruit powers into weapons has allowed you to become proficient with various weapons. When you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. If you later gain the Paramecia Infusion feature, this benefit extends to every infused weapon you enhance with that feature, no matter the weapon's type.

Echoing Strike

At 6th level, you gain the ability to unleash a destructive wave of energy from your infused weapon. When you make a weapon attack on your turn against a creature, you may use a bonus action to extend its normal range by 10 ft. If the attack hits the target, any other creature of your choice within 5 feet of the target takes force damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Demonic Deflection

At 10th level, you are able to parry attacks made by your branded target in combat. If the target cursed by your Devil's Branding hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll a d6. On a 4 or higher, the attack misses you, regardless of its roll.

Archdevil's Branding

Starting at 14th level, you can spread your Devil's Branding curse from a slain creature to another creature. When the creature cursed by your Devil's Branding dies, you can apply the branding to a different creature you can see within 30 feet of you, provided you aren't incapacitated, cursing it instead. When you apply the branding in this way, you don't regain hit points from the death of the previously branded creature.

Firearm Smithing

Devilforged who prioritize infusing their weapons for ranged attacking and casting. This grants you enhanced ranged attacks, ranged weapon proficiency, and spell power.

On a hit, the target takes 1d8 + your Charisma modifier in fire, cold, or lightning damage (your choice).

Exploding Shrapnel Shot

Beginning at 10th level, your Hellfire Artillery cannon can produce burning sharpnel and embers when fired. While your Hellfire Artillery cannon is active, you may use this feature to cause one of the attacks you make with your cannon to explode by spending an action on the same turn as a part of firing the cannon. Whether the cannon hits the target or not, the shot detonates as a 5th-level fireball spell (using your spell save DC) centered on the target of your attack. Any creature that fails their save against this fireball also has their movement reduced by 10 feet until the end of their turns. Additionally, you may choose to make half of the damage any creature takes from this fireball piercing or slashing instead of fire.

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

Hellstorm Artillery

• You can now create two cannons on your infused item with Hellfire Artillery as a bonus action, instead of just one, by expending an additional use of Hellfire Artillery.

Hybrid Powers (Spellcasting)

At some point in your family tree, some interbreeding between ancient races and your own took place or an advanced team of scientists modified you from birth in a lab, integrating various lineage factors into your blood. These rare genetic qualities grant you an unknown source of energy, allowing you to use various hybrid powers (spells) to shape that energy to your will. Hybrid Powers are the equivalent of "Spells" in 5th edition, and hybrid power slots are the same as "Spell Slots". Make sure to view the "Casting a Spell" section in the Player's Handbook for understanding Spellcasting in 5th Edition D&D. Hybrid powers count as hybrid Spells in chapter 8.

Natural Abilities (Cantrips)

At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the hybrid spell list in Chapter 8, and can use them as natural abilities. You learn additional hybrid cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Natural Abilities (Cantrips) Known column of the Hybrid table.

Hybrid Power (Spell) Slots

The Hybrid table shows how many Hybrid Power (Spell) slots you have to cast your hybrid powers of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these hybrid powers, you must expend a slot of the power's level or higher. You regain all expended hybrid power slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level hybrid power (spell) burning hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level hybrid power slot available, you can cast burning hands using either slot.

Hybrid Powers (Spells) Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know two 1st-level hybrid powers of your choice from the hybrid spell list.

The Hybrid Powers (Spells) Known column of the Hybrid table shows when you learn more hybrid spells of your choice. Each of these hybrid powers must be of a level for which you have hybrid power slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new hybrid power of 1st or 2nd level.

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

Hybrid Power (Spellcasting) Ability

Charisma is your hybrid (spellcasting) ability for your hybrid powers, since the power of your power relies on your ability to project your inner strength into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a hybrid power (spell) you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

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

Hybrid attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Hybrid Power (Spellcasting) Focus

You can use a hybridized part of your body as a spellcasting focus for your hybrid powers (spells).

Hybrid Lineage

Choose a hybrid lineage, which describes the source of your innate power. Choose the Seraphim, Germa, or Beast Lineage, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and again at 6th, 14th, and 18th level.

Hybrid Enchantments

At 2nd level, you tap into a deep wellspring of power within yourself, formed from advanced lineage factors. This wellspring is represented by Hybrid Points, which allow you to create a variety of special effects.

• Hybrid Points. You have 2 hybrid points, and you gain more as you reach higher levels, as shown in the Hybrid Points column of the Hybrid table. You can never have more hybrid points than shown on the table for your level. You regain all spent hybrid points when you finish a long rest.
• Flexible Powers. You can use your hybrid points to gain additional hybrid power (spell) slots, or sacrifice hybrid power slots to gain additional hybrid points. You learn other ways to use your hybrid points as you reach higher levels.
  • Creating Hybrid Power (Spell) Slots. You can transform unexpended hybrid points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Hybrid Power Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of a given level. You can create hybrid power slots no higher in level than 5th. Any spell slot you create with this feature vanishes when you finish a long rest.
  • Converting a Hybrid Power (Spell) Slot to Hybrid Points. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one spell slot and gain a number of hybrid points equal to the slot's level.

Power Enhancements

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to twist your hybrid powers (spells) to suit your needs. You gain two of the following Enhancements options of your choice. You gain another one at 10th and 17th level.

You can use only one Enhancement option on a hybrid power (spell) when you cast it, unless otherwise noted.

• Careful Enhancement. When you cast a hybrid power that forces other creatures to make a saving throw, you can protect some of those creatures from the hybrid's full force. To do so, you spend 1 hybrid point and choose a number of those creatures up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature). A chosen creature automatically succeeds on its saving throw against the hybrid power.
• Distant Enhancement. When you cast a hybrid power that has a range of 5 feet or greater, you can spend 1 hybrid point to double the range of the hybrid power.
  • When you cast a hybrid power that has a range of touch, you can spend 1 hybrid point to make the range of the hybrid power 30 feet.
• Empowered Enhancement. When you roll damage for a hybrid power, you can spend 1 hybrid point to reroll a number of the damage dice up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). You must use the new rolls.
  • You can use Empowered Enhancement even if you have already used a different Enhancement option during the casting of the hybrid power.
• Extended Enhancement. When you cast a hybrid power that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can spend 1 hybrid point to double its duration, to a maximum duration of 24 hours.
• Heightened Enhancement. When you cast a hybrid power that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, you can spend 3 hybrid points to give one target of the hybrid power disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the hybrid power.
• Quickened Enhancement. When you cast a hybrid power that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 2 hybrid points to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting.
• Seeking Enhancement. If you make an attack roll for a hybrid power and miss, you can spend 2 hybrid points to reroll the d20, and you must use the new roll.
  • You can use Seeking Enhancement even if you have already used a different Enhancement option during the casting of the hybrid power.
• Seeking Enhancement. When you cast a hybrid power that requires you to make a hybrid attack roll or that forces a target to make a Dexterity saving throw, you can spend 1 hybrid point to ignore the effects of half- and three-quarters cover against targets of the hybrid power.
• Subtle Enhancement. When you cast a hybrid power, you can spend 1 hybrid point to cast it without any somatic or verbal components.
• Transmuted Enhancement. When you cast a hybrid power that deals a type of damage from the following list, you can spend 1 hybrid point to change that damage type to one of the other listed types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, thunder.
• Twinned Enhancement. When you cast a hybrid power that targets only one creature and doesn't have a range of self, you can spend a number of hybrid points equal to the hybrid power's level to target a second creature in range with the same hybrid power (1 hybrid point if the hybrid power is a cantrip). To be eligible, a hyrbid power must be incapable of targeting more than one creature at the hybrid power's current level. For example, magic missile and scorching ray aren't eligible, but ray of frost and chromatic orb are.

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. Alternatively, you can take a feat listed in Chapter 6. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Additionally, when you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can do one of the following, representing the power within you flowing in new ways:

• Replace one of the options you chose for the Enhancement feature with a different Enhancement option available to you.
• Replace one natural ability (cantrip) you learned from this class' spellcasting feature with another cantrip from the hybrid spell list.

Hybrid Resilience

When you reach 5th level, you can tap into your special genetic traits to try and conjure success from failure. When you make an ability check that fails, you can spend 1 hybrid point to reroll the d20, and you must use the new roll, potentially turning the failure into a success.

Hybrid Restoration

At 20th level, you regain 4 expended hybrid points whenever you finish a short rest.

Hybrid Lineage

Hybrids may have any number of lineage factors packed into them. However, whichever lineage is dominant in your gene pool will determine your Hybrid Lineage.

Seraphim Lineage

Hybrids infused with Seraphim lineage have genetic traits inherited primarily from Lunarians. These lineage factors make them incredible durable and proficient with fire-based abilities.

Lunarian Blessing

At 1st level, divine power guards your destiny. If you fail a saving throw or miss with an attack roll, you can roll 2d4 and add it to the total, possibly changing the outcome.

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

Angelic Resilience

As ancient blood flows through your body, it causes physical traits of your lunarian ancestors to emerge. At 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

Additionally, you gain glowing yellow eyes, black feathers and small flickers of fire sprouting from your back, and darkened skin. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

Flame Affinity

Starting at 6th level, when you cast a Hybrid Power (Spell) that deals fire damage, add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that hybrid power. At the same time, you can spend 1 hybrid point to gain resistance to fire damage for 1 hour.

Celestial Wings

At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of black feathered wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.

You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

Heavenly Presence

Beginning at 18th level, you can channel the overwhelming presence of your Seraphim blood, causing those around you to become awestruck or frightened. As an action, you can spend 5 hybrid points to draw on this power and exude an aura of awe or fear (your choice) to a distance of 60 feet. For 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were casting a concentration spell), each hostile creature that starts its turn in this aura must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed (if you chose awe) or frightened (if you chose fear) until the aura ends. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to your aura for 24 hours.

Germa Lineage

Your lineage factors have been modified by the Germa Kingdom and their top scientists. As a result, you have been granted increased strength, durability, and speed since birth to serve their militaristic empire.

Bonus Proficiencies

At 1st level, you gain proficiency with shields, simple weapons, and martial weapons.

Elemental Powers

Your affinity for elemental powers grants you the option to learn some non-hybrid spells that focus on weapon attacks. When your Hybrid Power (Spellcasting) feature lets you learn a hybrid spell of 1st level or higher, you can select the spell from the following list of germa powers (spells), in addition to the hybrid spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a Hybrid Power (spell) for you.

Soldier's Durability

At 1st level, your germa lineage gives you extra fortitude. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

As an action, you can gain a base AC of 13 + your Constitution modifier if you aren’t wearing armor, and your skin and bones have the consistency of steel and appears dented when damaged. This effect lasts until you end it as a bonus action, you are incapacitated, or you don armor other than a shield.

Elemental Absorption

At 6th-level, you have learned to absorb certain elemental effects. Choose between fire, lightning, thunder, and poison. You know have resistance to the chosen damage type. Additionally, whenever you are damaged by the chosen damage type, the next hybrid power (spell) you cast against an enemy deals additional damage equal to 1d6 of the chosen damage type.

This damage die increases to a d8 at the 14th level and a d10 at the 18th level.

Modified Flesh

Beginning at 14th level, you can unleash the germa 66 lineage factors that lie dormant in your body. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 or more hybrid points to transform your body for 10 minutes. For each hybrid point you spend, you can gain one of the following benefits of your choice, the effects of which last until the transformation ends:

• You can see any invisible creature within 60 feet of you, provided it isn't behind total cover. Your eyes also turn red and form a crosshair around your pupils.
• You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed and can hover. As you fly, your feet or shoes emit short bursts of air.
• You gain a swimming speed equal to twice your walking speed, and you can breathe underwater.
• Your body, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, becomes slick and pliable. You can move through any space as narrow as 1 inch without squeezing, and you can spend 5 feet of movement to escape from nonmagical restraints or being grappled.

Warping Implosion

At 18th level, you can unleash your hidden germa abilities, granting you the ability to use a space-warping dash. As an action, you can teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 120 feet of you. Immediately after you disappear, each creature within 30 feet of the space you left must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d10 force damage and is pulled straight toward the space you left, ending in an unoccupied space as close to your former space as possible. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pulled.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 5 hybrid points to use it again.

Beast Lineage

Your body has been modified or influenced by beast-like lineage factors since birth. You may have a number of altered appendages resembling that of a beast. Additionally, your skin may slowly grow scales, feathers, or fur, depending on what beast traits you inherited.

Animalistic Traits

At 1st level, choose one of the following mutations you inherit:

• You have the ability to breathe underwater, and you have a swim speed equal to your walking speed. You also grow gills from the back of your neck or behind your ears, your fingers become webbed, and you grow lasting cilia that extend through your clothing.
• You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. Also, your arms become feathered and wing-like, and your legs harden and contort to become talon-like.
• Your walking speed permanently increases to 35 feet. Additionally, you can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena. You also grow a patchy fur coat or another mammalian feature.

Sharpened Vision

From 1st level, as you develop animal-like vision, you gain darkvision with a range of 120 feet.

When you reach 3rd level in this class, you learn the See Invisibility spell, which doesn't count against your number of hybrid spells known. In addition, you can cast it by spending 2 hybrid points or by expending a spell slot.

Bestial Defense

At 6th level, you gain resistance to psychic damage, as your instincts make your mind too sturdy to influence.

You also gain the ability to defend yourself by making a sudden escape away from danger. As a reaction when you are hit by an attack and take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from it, you can reduce that damage by an amount equal to your hybrid level plus your Charisma score, and then you can move up to 30 feet without provoking opportunity attacks. Once you use this special reaction, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Flexible Body

Starting at 14th level, when you move on your turn, you take only half damage from opportunity attacks, and you can move through any enemy’s space but can’t willingly end your move there.

On your turn, you can move through any space that is at least 3 inches in diameter and do so without squeezing. When you stop moving, the regular squeezing rules apply if you’re in a space one size smaller than you. You can’t willingly stop in a space smaller than that, and if you’re forced to do so, you immediately flow to the nearest space that can fit you, back along the path of your movement.

Final Evolution

Starting at 18th level, your being is fully altered by the power of the wild, making your body far more resilient than an ordinary creature. You gain the following benefits:

• You no longer need to eat, drink, or sleep.
• A critical hit against you becomes a normal hit.
• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

If your proficiency bonus is already doubled for the perception skill, you may choose another skill that uses your Wisdom modifier. Your proficiency bonus is now doubled for any ability check that uses the chosen proficiency instead

Lock-On

Beginning at 1st level, you focus your aim and killing intent onto one creature to target their weak points. When you hit a creature with an attack roll using a firearm or sling, you can mark the target for 1 minute.

The first time on each of your turns that you hit the marked enemy and deal damage to it, including when you mark it, you increase that damage by 1d4.

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

This feature's extra damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d6 at 6th level and to 1d8 at 14th level.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty: choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Close Quarters Shooter

When making a ranged attack with a firearm or sling while you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature, you do not have disadvantage on the attack roll. Your ranged attacks with a firearm or sling ignore half cover and three-quarters cover against targets within 30 feet of you. You have a +1 bonus to attack rolls on ranged attacks with a firearm or sling.

Deadeye

You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with firearm or sling weapons. This effect does not stack with the Archery fighting style.

Sharpened Shot

You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls you make using firearms or slings.

Two-Weapon Fighting

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

Special Tactics (Spellcasting)

By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use special tactics and abilities to better deal with your targets. Special tactics are the equivalent of "Spells" in 5th edition, and tactic slots are the same as "Spell Slots". Make sure to view the "Casting a Spell" section in the Player's Handbook for understanding Spellcasting in 5th Edition D&D. Marksman tactics count as Marksman Spells in chapter 8.

Tactic Slots (Spell Slots)

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

For example, if you know the 1st-level tactic Snare and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level tactic slot available, you can cast Snare using either slot.

Tactics Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know two 1st-level tactics of your choice, taken from from the marksman spell list.

The Tactics Known column of the Marksman table shows when you learn more marksman tactics of your choice. The term "tactic level" is equivalent to "spell level". Each of these tactics must be of a level for which you have tactic slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new tactic of 1st or 2nd level.

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

Special Tactic Ability (Spellcasting Ability)

Wisdom is your special tactic ability for your marksman tactics, since your skills come from your attunement to your surroundings. You use your Wisdom whenever a tactic (spell) refers to your special tactic (spellcasting) ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a marksman tactic you use and when making an attack roll with one.

Tactic save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Tactic attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Gunsmith

Beginning at 2nd level, you can use your Tinker's Tools to craft any type of nonmagical firearm or sling and ammunition for a weapon you possess by spending half of the standard cost listed in Chapter 5. During a successful long rest, you must have spent at least 1 hour during it to completely build one firearm or up to five pieces of ammunition. You cannot repeat this process until the next time you complete a long rest.

Marksman Archetypes

At 3rd level, you choose the archetype that best suits your own style and profession. Choose the Gunslinger, Sniper, or Bounty Hunter, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you a unique feature when you choose it at 3rd level. It also grants you additional benefits at 7th, 11th, and 15th level.

Prey Awareness

Beginning at 3rd level, you can use your action to expend 1 Tactic Slot to focus your awareness on the region around you. For 1 minute per Tactic Slot you expend, you can sense whether the following types of creatures are present within 1 mile of you: aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. This feature doesn't reveal the creatures' location or number.

Additionally, you may select one creature you have seen before when you activate this feature. While this feature is active, you know if the target creature is within 1 mile of you, but not its exact location.

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. Alternatively, you can take a feat listed in Chapter 6. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Expert Reload

At 4th level, choose one type of firearm you possess. You ignore the loading properties of only that firearm type (such as bazooka). You can choose a different firearm type when you gain an extra level in this class.

Extra Attack

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

Greater Lock-On

At 6th level, you can add your wisdom modifier to the damage dealt by Lock-On.

Additionally, you have advantage on saving throws against the spells and abilities used by a creature with lock-on applied to it.

Fleet of Foot

Beginning at 8th level, you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn.

Trick Shot

Starting at 10th level, once per turn you can target a specific location on a foe's body, so long as the foe's body has the location you want to target. When you hit with with a firearm or sling attack, you may add an additional effect based on the targeted location. A target creature hit by must make a saving throw against your Tactic save DC.

Armshot. On a hit, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or drop a single held item of your choice.

Bodyshot. On a hit, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or has disadvantage on all Dexterity saving throws and cannot speak until the start of your next turn.

Headshot. On a hit, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become disoriented, as if affected by the Confusion spell, until the start of your next turn.

Legshot. On a hit, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or fall prone.

Wingshot. On a hit, the target must make a Constitution saving throw or have its flying speed reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn.

You may add a trick shot effect a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all uses when you finish a long rest. At the 20th level, you may a trickshot an unlimited amount of times, but only once per turn.

Silencer Shot

Starting at 14th level, you can use the Hide action as a bonus action on your turn. Also, you can't be tracked by nonmagical means, unless you choose to leave a trail, and the sound of your firearms do not immediately give away your exact location.

Ascended Awareness

Starting at 18th level, you may unlock any one "Very Rare" or lower Color of Observation Haki Advancement feat from Chapter 7. If you have already taken all the very rare and lower observation haki feats, you may take a very rare or lower haki advancement feat under a different color of haki, assuming you meet the prerequisites.

One Shot One Kill

At 20th level, you become an unparalleled marksman. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature marked by your Lock-On feature with a firearm or sling, you can choose to attempt to execute the creature instead of dealing extra damage to it. If the creature has 30 or less hit points after your attack's initial damage has already been dealt, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your Tactic save DC or it dies instantly.

Marksman Archetypes

Marksmen are renowned for their steady aim and impressive gun or sling training. What separates them is their ability to fire quickly, snipe at a distance, or effectively hunt their targets.

Gunslinger

Gunslingers are noted for their speed and skill in handling and shooting their weapons. They shoot to kill, and rarely miss.

Quick-draw

At 3rd level, you master the art of quickly drawing your weapon at the start of battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier.

At the start of your first turn of each combat, your walking speed increases by 10 feet, which lasts until the end of that turn. If you take the Attack action with a sling or firearm on that turn, you can make one additional weapon with a sling or firearm attack as part of that action. If that attack hits, the target takes an extra 1d8 damage of the weapon's damage type.

Gunslinger Tactics

From 3rd level, you have darkvision with a range of 90 feet. You also gain access to additional tactics at 3rd, 5th, 9th, 13th, and 15th level. You are always able to use these tactics, and they do not count against your number of Marksman tactics known.

Iron Mind

At 7th level, you gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.

High Noon

Starting at 11th level, you have the ability to ensure that your attacks count. If you miss with a firearm or sling attack during your turn, you can immediately make an additional ranged attack with that weapon. You can gain one additional attack during your turn with this ability

Quick-Step

At 15th level, you master the ability to disrupt and maneuver around an opponent's attacks. If a creature attacks you and does not have advantage on the attack roll, you can use your reaction to grant it disadvantage on the attack roll. You must use this ability before you know the result of the attack.

Sniper

Snipers are marksmen that try to maximize their range and stealth when hunting a target using camoflauge and distance. They will rarely ever be spotted or caught out when gunning down their prey from a safe location. These marksmen are horrifying to deal with from far away.

Scoping

At 3rd level, your range with firearms and slings becomes 150/600 feet unless its already a greater amount.

Empowered Bullet

Starting at 3rd level, you learn to craft special bullets using your gunsmithing abilities.

When you hit with a firearm or sling attack, you can expend a Tactic Slot to deal additional damage to a target. The extra damage is equal to 1d6 for a 1st-level Tactic Slot, plus 1d6 for each Tactic Slot higher than 1st, up to a maximum of 5d6.

Vantage Point

Starting at 7th level, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn.

Sniper's Support

At 11th level, you can support and draw attention away from your allies while they are fighting your target up close. When a creature is marked by your Lock-On, allied creatures have advantage on attack rolls against it until the mark ends. Additionally, the marked creature sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius, becoming clearly outlined.

Counter-Snipe

At 15th level, you gain the ability to counterattack when your prey tries to sabotage you. If a creature marked with Lock-On forces you to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against the quarry. You make this attack immediately before making the saving throw. If the attack hits, your save automatically succeeds, in addition to the attack’s normal effects.

Bounty Hunter

Bounty hunters excel at hunting a single target for the purposes of cashing in their bounty.

Bounty Hunter Tactics

Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional tactic when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Bounty Hunter Tactics table. The tactic counts as a marksman tactic for you, but it doesn't count against the number of marksman tactics you know.

Hunter's Sense

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to peer at a creature and magically discern how best to hurt it. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are. If the creature is hidden from divination magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities.

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

Bounty's Brand

Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your ire on one foe, increasing the harm you inflict on it. As a bonus action, you designate one creature you can see within 60 feet of you as the target of this feature. The first time each turn that you hit that target with a weapon attack, it takes an extra 1d6 damage from the weapon.

This benefit lasts until you finish a short or long rest. It ends early if you designate a different creature. When you defeat or kill a creature with a Bounty's Brand on its head, you gain an additional 10% reward from collecting its bounty.

Stalker's Caution

At 7th level, you gain extra resilience against your prey’s assaults on your mind and body. Whenever a creature marked by your Bounty's Brand forces you to make a saving throw and whenever you make an ability check to escape that target's grapple, add 1d6 to your roll.

Tactical Counter

At 11th level, you gain the ability to thwart someone else's tactics (magic). When you see a creature using a tactic (casting a spell) or teleporting within 60 feet of you, you can use your reaction to try to foil it. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your Tactic save DC, or its tactic (spell) or teleport fails and is wasted.

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

Professional Hunter

At 15th level, you gain the ability to counterattack when your target tries to sabotage you. If the target of your Bounty's Brand forces you to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against the quarry. You make this attack immediately before making the saving throw. If the attack hits, your save automatically succeeds, in addition to the attack’s normal effects.

As a martial artist, you gain the following class features.

Proficiencies

Armor: None

Weapons: Simple weapons, shortswords

Tools: Choose one type of artisan’s tools or one musical Instrument

Saving Throws: Strength, Dexterity

You start with the following equip⁠ment, in addition to the equipment⁠ granted by your background:

• (a) a shortsword or (b) any simple weapon
• (a) a pirate’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack
• (a) 10 darts or (b) two daggers

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.

Martial Arts

At 1st level, your practice of Martial Arts gives you mastery of Combat styles that use unarmed strikes and martial artist Weapons, which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons⁠ that don’t have the Two-Handed or heavy property.

You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only martial artist 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 martial artist Weapons.
• You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strike or martial artist weapon. This die changes as you gain martial artist levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Martial Artist table.
• When you use the Attack action with an Unarmed Strike or a martial artist 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.

Certain martial arts schools use specialized forms of the martial artist Weapons. For example, you might use a club that is two lengths of wood connected by a short chain (called a nunchaku) or a Sickle with a shorter, straighter blade (called a kama). Whatever name you use for a martial artist weapon, you can use the game statistics provided for the weapon.

Unarmored Movement⁠

Starting at 2nd Level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a Shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain martial artist levels, as shown in the Martial Artist table.

Ki

Starting at 2nd Level, your training allows you to harness The Spiritual energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. Your martial artist level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ki Points column of the Martial Artist table.

You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Swift Barrage, Shifting Body, and Whirlwind Step. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class.

When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or Long Rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points.

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

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

Swift Barrage

Immediately after you take the Attack action on Your Turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a Bonus Action.

Shifting Body

You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a Bonus Action on Your Turn.

Whirlwind Step

You can spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage and Dash action as a Bonus Action on Your Turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.

Soul Weapon

Also at 2nd level, you train yourself to use a variety of weapons as martial artist weapons, not just simple melee weapons and shortswords. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can touch one weapon, focus your ki on it, and then count that weapon as a martial artist weapon until you use this feature again.

The chosen weapon must meet these criteria:

• The weapon must be a simple or martial weapon.
• You must be proficient with it.
• It must lack the heavy and special properties.

Martial Arts School

When you reach 3rd Level, you commit yourself to a school of martial arts: Six Powers, Fish-Man Karate, or New Kama Kenpo, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your school grants you features at 3rd Level and again at 6th, 11th, and 17th level.

Deflect Projectile

Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect ranged attacks that deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your martial artist level.

If you reduce the damage to 0, you can spend 1 ki point to redirect the attack toward another creature. If you do so, choose a creature within 60 feet of yourself that isn't behind Total Cover. That creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die. The damage is the same type dealt by the attack.

Ki-Fueled Attack

Also at 3rd level, if you spend 1 ki point or more as part of your action on your turn, you can make one attack with an unarmed strike or a martial artist weapon as a bonus action before the end of the turn.

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. Alternatively, you can take a feat listed in Chapter 6. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Slow Fall

Beginning at 4th level, you can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to five times your martial artist level.

Heart Chakra

At 4th level, you have complete control over your heart chakra. As an action, you can spend 2 ki points and roll a Martial Arts die. You regain a number of hit points equal to the number rolled plus your proficiency bonus.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th Level, you can Attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on Your Turn.

Stunning Strike

Starting at 5th Level, you can interfere with the flow of ki in an opponent’s body. When you hit another creature with a melee weapon Attack, you can spend 1 ki point to attempt a Stunning Strike. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be Stunned until the start of your next turn.

Focused Aim

Beginning at 5th level, when you miss with an attack roll, you can spend 1 to 3 ki points to increase your attack roll by 2 for each of these ki points you spend, potentially turning the miss into a hit.

Solar Plexus Chakra

Starting at 6th level, through control over your solar plexus chakra, your Unarmed Strikes can deal Force damage or its normal damage type (your choice).

Evasion

At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area Effects, such as an exploding missile. 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.

Stomach Chakra

Starting at 7th level, through control over your stomach chakra, if you spend at least 1 minute resting, you can give yourself all the benefits of a Short Rest. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Acrobatic Movement

At 9th level, while you aren't wearing armor or wielding a Shield, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the movement.

Root Chakra

At 10th level, through control over your root chakra, you can use a Bonus Action to remove one of the following conditions from yourself: Charmed, Frightened, or Poisoned.

In addition, forgoing food and drink doesn't give you levels of exhaustion.

Throat Chakra

Starting at 13th level, through control over your throat chakra, you gain the ability to communicate using your mind and spirit to connect with others and understand their intent. You gain telepathy up to 30 feet.

Deflect Energy

At 13th level, you can now use your Deflect Missiles feature against a ranged attack that deals any type of damage.

Crown Chakra

Beginning at 14th level, through control over your crown chakra, you gain proficiency in all Saving Throws.

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

Sacral Chakra

At 15th level, through control over your sacral chakra, when you roll Initiative and have 3 Ki Points or fewer, you regain expended Ki Points until you have 4.

Third Eye Chakra

Beginning at 18th level, through control over your third eye chakra, you can use your action to spend 3 ki points to perfectly brace yourself against harm for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated. During that time, you have resistance to all damage except force damage.

Death Chakra

At 20th level, if you drop to 0 hit points, you can spend 4 ki points, roll four Martial Arts dice, and add the dice together. Your number of Hit Points instead changes to the total rolled.

Each time you use this feature after the first, the ki point cost increases by 2. When you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest, the Ki Point cost resets to 4.

Martial Arts Schools

There are several different schools that teach martial arts. Although anyone strong enough can learn from these schools in theory, only a select group can successfully enter and learn these ways of fighting. Six Powers, Fish-Man Karate, or New Kama Kenpo are your choices.

Six Powers

Six Powers is a special, superhuman martial arts style utilized by many trained government assassins and agents. Those that master this style can have the strength of up to a hundred men. Though this style often requires intense training from a young age, some can learn certain parts of the six powers with enough intense training at a later age. Most users of the six powers belong to the World Government and Navy, though rarely some pirates and other factions have been shown to know it.

Finger Pistol

Starting at 3rd Level, your fingers become as sharp as daggers. When you make an unarmed strike, you can choose to use piercing damage for the damage type.

Tempest Kick

Also at 3rd level, you can make ranged air slices with your legs or other available limbs. This special attack is a sharp compressed air slice used as a ranged spell Attack with a range of 30 feet, in place of your unarmed strike or martial artist weapon attack. 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 d6. This die changes as you gain martial artist levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Martial Artist table.

You can only replace one melee attack with this special attack per turn. When you gain the Extra Attack feature, you can replace two attacks with this special attack per turn instead. When you take the attack action, you can expend 1 ki point to be able to replace all of your melee attacks with this special attack during your turn.

At 6th level, you can deal force damage with Tempest Kick instead of slashing.

Iron Body and Paper Art

Starting at 6th level, your muscles become stronger than steel. Your Deflect Bullets feature can now work against melee attacks that deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage.

You can use this feature this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. While you have no uses available, you can spend 1 additional ki point to use this feature again.

Additionally, if you reduce the damage of a melee attack to 0 with this feature, you can completely shift your body to redirect the attack toward another enemy by spending 1 ki point as part of the same reaction. By redirecting the attack, you can force it to hit a creature of your choice, other than the attacker, within 5 feet of you.

Shave

Starting at 11th level, you gain the ability to move or fly at extremely high speeds, appearing to teleport. You can use a Bonus Action to teleport⁠ up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see⁠. You then have advantage on the first melee Attack you make before the end of the turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. After you've expended all these uses, you can only use Shave again by spending 1 ki point to activate it. You regain all uses of this feature after you complete a long rest.

Moon Walk

Also at 11th level, when you use your Whirlwind Step, you can now kick the air with such force that you begin to propel yourself. While you do this, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed until the end of your next turn.

Additionally, using the Slow Fall feature now reduces any Falling damage you take to 0.

Six King Gun

At 17th level, you learn the secret seventh technique of the Six Powers. When you hit a creature with an Unarmed strike within 5 feet of you, you can spend 3 ki points to force it to make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, it is reduced to 0 Hit Points. If it succeeds, it takes 10d10 force damage. Until the end of your next turn, you can't take an Action on your turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over you.

Fish-Man Karate

Through mastery of fish-man karate, which is often used alongside fish-man jujutsu, you begin to learn how to control the water around you and within your opponent's body. Water can be drawn and manipulated anywhere, even the atmosphere, to emit devastating shockwaves of energy that can even affect devil fruit users. This martial arts is learned primarily by fish-men, but can also be learned by humans or other races occasionally. It would be unthinkable to learn this style of martial arts as a devil fruit user.

Water Adept

Starting at 3rd level, your strikes, whether you're on land or in seawater, are now infused with the water around you. When you make a melee weapon attack, you can choose to use cold damage for the damage type.

Arabesque Tile True Punch

Starting at 3rd Level, you can manipulate and control the direction of water in and around your enemy's body. Whenever you hit a creature with one of the attacks granted by your Swift Barrage, you can impose one of the following Effects on that target:

• It must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
• It must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, you can push it up to 15 feet away from you.
• It can’t take Reactions until the end of your next turn.

Five Thousand Tile True Punch

At 6th level, you gain the ability to channel your ki into devastating waves of water-infused energy. Immediately after you take the Attack action on Your Turn, as a bonus action, you can spend 2 ki points to force each creature in a 15-foot cone to make a Dexterity saving throw against your Ki Save DC. A creature takes three Martial Arts dice in cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

You can spend additional ki points to add an additional one Martial Arts die to the damage.

Wrath of the Sea

Also at 6th level, your attacks made with your unarmed strikes, martial artist weapon, or martial artist spells deal additional cold damage equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded up).

Sharkskin Palm Block

At 11th level, the power of your water-infused ki now radiates from you, protecting your allies from harm and punishing any who raise arms against them. As a bonus action, you can take a defensive stance to create a protective aura of water that emerges 30 feet from you for 1 minute. Choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage, and for the duration, you gain the following effects:

• You and your allies within your aura gain resistance to the chosen damage type.
• Waves of water-infused aura flow out from you and your allies when any of you are attacked. When you or one of your allies in the aura is hit by an attack made by another creature within the aura, the target of the attack can use their reaction to deal an amount of cold damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die to the attacker.

Once you use this bonus action, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend 4 ki points to use it again.

Shark Pack Attack

At 17th level, you can release a pack of watery sharks that tear apart any creatures they catch. As an action, you can spend up to any number of ki points and conjure a number of shark projectiles equal to ki points spent to hurl at targets within 120 feet of you. You can hurl them at one target or several. Make a ranged spell attack for each shark using your proficiency bonus + Wisdom modiifer for the attack modifier. On a hit, the target takes 2 Martial Arts die in cold damage and is restrained until the start of your next turn, when the sharks evaporate.

New Kama Kenpo

New Kama Kenpo is the ultimate form of fighting used by the 99 masters of New Kama Kenpo and their Queen from Kamabakka Kingdom. This style has inspired other similar forms and schools of martial arts, but is considered the strongest of its kind. It is largely used by those who consider themselves "Okamas", but it can be learned by anyone who dedicates themselves to the teachings of this martial arts.

Okama Way

When you choose this school at 3rd Level, you gain proficiency in the Performance skill and disguise kits if you don’t already have it as your Martial Arts technique mixes Combat Training with the precision of a dancer and the flashy abilities of the Okama.

In addition, your performances become more and more fabulous along with your appearance. When you make a Charisma check while dressed up as an okama, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the result.

Spinning Spa

Starting at 3rd level, you learn how to spin and dance gracefully as part of your Swift Barrage. Whenever you use Swift Barrage, you gain the benefit of the Disengage action, and your walking speed increases by 20 feet until the end of your turn.

Kick Claw First Pointe

Beginning at 6th level, you can leap to intercept the movement of an enemy during battle. When a creature moves within 15 feet of you for the first time during its turn, you can use your reaction to spin or flip and leap up to 15 feet toward a space adjacent to it. If you do, you make an unarmed attack against the creature immediately at the end of the movement. If you hit, the creature's speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn. If the creature is in the air, it also falls to the ground.

Awakening of the Maiden

Starting at 11th level, you can always spin in and out of danger at the right moment. When you make an ability check, an Attack roll, or a saving throw and have disadvantage on the roll, you can spend 2 ki points to cancel the disadvantage for that roll.

Additionally, when you’re prone, you can choose to stand up on your turn without spending half your movement.

Galaxy Spin

Starting at 17th level, whenever you use your Swift Barrage, you create a number of spinning afterimages that make you more difficult to hit and allow you make an extra attack. When you use your Swift Barrage, you can make an additional attack with it (up to a total of three Swift Barrage attacks). Also, whenever you hit an enemy with your Swift Barrage, they have disadvantage on attacks against you until the end of their next turn.

Priest

Class Features

As a Priest, you gain the following Class Features.

Hit Points

Hit Dice: 1d8 per Priest level

Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier

• (a) Scale Mail, (b) Thick Shirt, or (c) Chain Mail (if proficient)
• (a) a Musket and 20 gun bullets or (b) any simple weapon

Holy Power (Spellcasting⁠)

As a conduit for divine energy, you can cast Priest Holy Powers (Spells). Priest holy powers count as Priest Spells in chapter 8.

Natural Abilities (Cant⁠rips)

At 1st Level, you know three Cantrips of your choice from the Priest spell list. You learn additional Priest cant⁠rips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Natural Abilities Known (Can⁠trips Known) column of the Priest table.

Preparing and Casting Holy Powers (Spells)

The Priest table shows how many Holy Power Slots (Spell Slots) you have to cast your Priest Holy Powers of 1st Level and higher. To cast one of these holy powers⁠, you must expend a slot of the holy power’s level or higher. You regain all expended Spell Slots when you finish a Long Rest.

You prepare the list of Holy Powers (Spells) that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Priest spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Priest holy powers⁠ equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Priest level (minimum of one holy power). The holy power⁠ must be of a level for which you have Holy Power Slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level Priest, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level Holy Power Slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared Holy Powers can include six holy powers⁠ of 1st or 2nd Level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level holy power (spell) Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the holy power doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared holy powers.

You can change your list of prepared holy powers when you finish a Long Rest. Preparing a new list of Priest holy powers⁠ requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per Holy Power Level for each holy power on your list.

Special Power⁠ Ability (Spellcasting)

Wisdom is your Special Power (Spellcasting) ability for your Priest Holy Powers (Spells). The strength of your holy powers⁠ comes from your devotion to your God. You use your Wisdom whenever a Priest holy power (spell) refers to your spellcasting⁠ ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting⁠ the saving throw DC for a Priest holy power you cast and when making an Attack roll with one.

Holy Power save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Holy Power Attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast a Priest holy power as a ritual if that holy power has the ritual tag and you have the holy power prepared.

Special Power Focus (Spellcasting Focus)

You can use a holy symbol⁠ as a special power focus for your Priest Holy Powers.

Divine Domain

Choose one domain related to your teachings: Sky, Desert, or Death. Your choice grants you domain Spells and other features when you choose it at 1st Level. It also grants you additional ways to use Channel Divinity when you gain that feature at 2nd Level, and additional benefits at 6th, 8th, and 17th levels.

Domain Holy Powers (Spells)

Each domain has a list of holy powers (spells)—its domain holy powers—that you gain at the Priest levels noted in the domain description. Once you gain a domain holy power, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of Holy Powers you can prepare each day.

If you have a domain holy power (spell) that doesn’t appear on the Priest spell list, the holy power is nonetheless a Priest holy power for you.

Channel Divinity

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel special powers. You start with two such effects: Turn Undead 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 Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again.

Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your priest holy power save DC.

Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity 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.

Channel Divinity: Turn Undead

As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead 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. Alternatively, you can take a feat listed in Chapter 6. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Additionally, whenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can replace one natural ability (cantrip) you learned from this class's Special Ability feature with another cantrip from the priest spell list.

Destroy Undead

Starting at 5th level, when an undead fails its saving throw against your Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the Destroy Undead table.

Blessed Strikes

When you reach 8th level, you are blessed with divine might in battle. When a creature takes damage from one of your cantrips or weapon attacks, you can also deal 1d8 radiant damage to that creature. Once you deal this damage, you can't use this feature again until the start of your next turn.

A Call Beyond

Beginning at 10th level, you can channel your God's spirit directly through you to summon it and wish for greater power.

Channeling this divine energy to make a wish requires an action. Describe the effect you want, and roll percentile dice. If you roll a number equal to or lower than your Priest level, your wish comes true. The DM chooses the Nature of the wish; the Effect of any Priest spell or Priest domain spell would be appropriate.

If this effect succeeds, you can’t use this feature again for 7 days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a Long Rest.

At 20th level, your Call Beyond succeeds automatically, no roll required.

Divine Domains

Divine domains are used to define your god, religion, and spiritual beliefs. These are important to how your spirit shapes your powers and abilities by channeling divine energy from the beyond.

Sky Domain

Many priests under the Sky Domain hail from the sky islands and the various holy lands that can be found around them. Priests here primarily derive their power from Mantra and Dials to become powerful fighters.

Bonus Proficiencies

At 1st level, you gain proficiency with Dials, Martial Weapons, and Heavy Armor.

Thunderous Dial Strike

Also at 1st level, you can thunderously rebuke attackers with dials built into your clothing or gear. When a creature within 5 feet of you that you can see hits you with an Attack, you can use your Reaction to cause the creature to make a Dexterity saving throw. The creature takes 2d8 lightning or thunder damage (your choice) on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Channel Divinity: Destructive Wrath

Starting at 2nd Level, you can use your Channel Divinity to wield the power of your dials with unchecked ferocity.

When you roll lightning or thunder damage, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal maximum damage, instead of rolling.

Dial Ritual

At 6th level, you may occasionally manufacture Dials of your own. You may spend 24 hours touching and altering a normal shell as a ritual to turn it into a powerful Dial. When the 24 hours are over, roll on the Rare Dial Table in Chapter 5. The shell you are holding becomes that Dial.

You cannot perform this ritual again until you reach the 8th, 11th, 14th, or 17th levels. You can only perform this ritual once during each of those levels, and it must be used to transform your current ritually created dial into a new dial by rolling on the Rare Dial Table to change its effects into something different.

Dial Infusion

At 8th level, you gain the ability to combine your weapon strikes with dial-infused power. 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 thunder damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Dial Glide

At 17th level, you can use dials to give you a flying speed equal to your current walking speed whenever you are not Underground or indoors.

Desert Domain

Fierce holy warriors of the desert, defenders of sacred land, priests of the desert domain often reside in various kingdoms of the desert. These priests utilize the harsh elements present in the dry, scorching lands they were born in. Divine energy radiates from these lands, giving each warrior of this domain holy powers.

Bonus Natural Ability (Cantrip)

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain the light natural ability (cantrip) if you don’t already know it.

Blinding Sands

Also at 1st level, you can whirl up a sandstorm between yourself and an attacking enemy. When you are attacked by a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see, you can use your Reaction to impose disadvantage on the Attack roll, causing sand to momentarily blind the attacker before it hits or misses. An attacker that can’t be Blinded is immune to this feature.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Channel Divinity: Scorching Sun

Starting at 2nd Level, you can use your Channel Divinity to harness scorching sunlight, banishing darkness⁠ and dealing radiant damage to your foes.

As an action, you present your holy symbol⁠, and any magical darkness⁠ within 30 feet of you is dispelled. Additionally, each Hostile creature within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes radiant damage equal to 2d10 + your Priest level on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that has total cover from you is not affected.

Crippling Sands

When the Priest chooses this domain at 1st level, he or she gains proficiency with Martial Weapons.

Reap

At 1st level, the Priest learns one Necromancy natural ability (cantrip) of his or her choice from any spell list. When the Priest casts a Necromancy cantrip that normally Targets only one creature, the spell can instead target two creatures within range and within 5 feet of each other.

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: Swashbuckler, Thief, or Elemental Trickster, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your archetype choice grants you features at 3rd Level and then again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.

Steady Aim

At 3rd level, as a bonus action, you give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this bonus action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.

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. Alternatively, you can take a feat listed in Chapter 6. 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, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area Effects, such as a devil fruit user's fireball ability or an Ice Storm attack. 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.

Power of Observation

Starting at 14th level, you may unlock any one "Rare" or lower Color of Observation Haki Advancement feat from Chapter 7. If you have already taken all the rare and lower observation haki feats, you may take a rare or lower haki advancement feat under a different color of haki, assuming you meet the prerequisites.

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

There are various types of rogues that utilize a number of different tools to steal from their targets in the shadows, attack with elemental tricks, or duel in close range using fancy maneuvers. Through developing these methods of combat, several archetypes have emerged.

Swashbuckler

You focus your training on the art of the blade, relying on speed, elegance, and charm in equal parts. While some warriors are brutes clad in heavy armor, your method of fighting looks almost like a performance. Duelists and pirates typically belong to this archetype.

Fancy Footwork

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal. During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can't make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn.

Rakish Audacity

Starting at 3rd level, your confidence propels you into battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Charisma modifier.

You also gain an additional way to use your Sneak Attack; you don't need advantage on the attack roll to use your Sneak Attack against a creature if you are within 5 feet of it, no other creatures are within 5 feet of you, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. All the other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you.

Panache

At 9th level, your charm becomes extraordinarily beguiling. As an action, you can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by a creature's Wisdom (Insight) check. The creature must be able to hear you, and the two of you must share a language.

If you succeed on the check and the creature is hostile to you, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you and can't make opportunity attacks against targets other than you. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until one of your companions attacks the target or affects it with a spell, or until you and the target are more than 60 feet apart.

If you succeed on the check and the creature isn't hostile to you, it is charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed, it regards you as a friendly acquaintance. This effect ends immediately if you or your companions do anything harmful to it.

Elegant Maneuver

Starting at 13th level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to gain advantage on the next Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) check you make during the same turn.

Master Duelist

Beginning at 17th level, your mastery of the blade lets you turn failure into success in combat. If you miss with an attack roll, you can roll it again with advantage. Once you do so, you can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

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 seekers, explorers, delvers, and investigators. In addition to improving your agility and stealth, you learn skills useful for delving into ancient ruins, reading unfamiliar languages, and using magic items you normally couldn't employ.

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 the ability to climb faster than normal; climbing no longer costs you extra movement.

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.

Use Special Gadgets

By 13th level, you have learned enough about the workings of technology that you can improvise the use of items even when they are not intended for you. You ignore all class, race, and level requirements on the use of special gadgets (magic items).

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.

Elemental Trickster

Elemental Tricksters have mastered the science of many complex traps, tools, and plants. They may use these tools to aid in combat or simply create a number of illusory effects to distract your opponent.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this archetype at 3rd Level, you gain proficiency with darts, blowguns, and giant slings.

Nature Powers (Spellcsating)

When you reach 3rd Level, you gain the ability to cast Nature Powers (Spells). See the general rules of Spellcasting and the Tinkerer spell list in chapter 8.

Natural Abilities (Cantrips). You learn three natural abilities (cantrips): Druidcraft and two other Cantrips of your choice from the Tinkerer spell list. You learn another tinkerer cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Nature Power Slots (Spell Slots). The Elemental Trickster Nature Powers table shows how many Nature Power Slots you have to cast Tinkerer Spells of 1st Level and higher as Nature Powers. To cast one of these Nature Powers (spells)⁠, you must expend a slot of the nature power’s level or higher. You regain all expended Nature Power Slots when you finish a Long Rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level nature power Charm Person and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level slot available, you can use charm person⁠ using either slot.

Nature Powers (Spells) Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level Tinkerer Spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the Enchantment and Illusion spells⁠ on the tinkerer spell list.

The Natural Powers Known (Spells Known) column of the Elemental Trickster Natural Powers table shows when you learn more Tinkerer spells⁠ of 1st Level or higher. Each of these spells⁠ must be an Enchantment or Illusion spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd Level.

The Nature Powers (Spells) you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the Tinkerer Spells you know with another nature power (spell) of your choice from the tinkerer⁠ spell list. The new nature power must be of a level for which you have Nature Power Slots, and it must be an Enchantment or Illusion nature power (spell), unless you're replacing the nature power you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level from any school of magic.

Special Power Ability. Intelligence is your Special Power ability for your Tinkerer spells⁠, since you learn your Nature Powers (Spells) through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a nature power (spell) refers to your Special Power (spellcasting⁠) ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting⁠ the saving throw DC for a tinkerer spell you cast and when making an Attack roll with one.

Special Power save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Special Power Attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Nature's Invention

Starting at 3rd Level, when you cast Druidcraft, you can perform the following additional tasks with it:

• You can make your next Ranged Weapon attack deal fire, cold, or lightning damage instead. You can use this feature a number of times equal to twice your Intelligence modifier. You regain all uses of this feature again once you complete a short or long rest.
• You can enhance any natural shell and turn it into a Simple Dial of your choice. You can't use this feature again until you complete a long rest. You can have a number of Dials created this way equal to your Intelligence Modifier. You can cast this spell again to remove the properties from a Simple Dial you created and revert it back to a normal shell.
• You create a natural trap of your choice. This works the same as a Hunting Trap or Caltrops (pick one). You can use this feature a number of times equal to twice your Intelligence modifier. You regain all uses of this feature again once you complete a short or long rest.

Gift of the Wild

At 9th level, you may also learn Druid Spells using your Nature Power (Spellcasting) feature, using the same limitations.

Additionally, you may use Druidcraft as a bonus action.

Ingenious Ambush

Starting at 13th level, if you are hidden from a creature when you Cast a Nature Power (Spell) on it, the creature has disadvantage on any saving throw it makes against the nature power (spell) this turn.

Lord of Nature

At 17th level, you gain the ability to sap the power from a special power (spell) and use it by channeling it through your plants.

Immediately after a creature casts a special power (spell) that Targets you or includes you in its area of Effect, you can use your Reaction to attempt to absorb the effect into a seed and force the creature to make a saving throw with its Special Power (Spellcasting) ability modifier. The DC equals your spell save DC. On a failed save, you negate the special power’s Effect against you, and you steal the knowledge of the special power (spell) if it is at least 1st Level and of a level you can cast (it doesn’t need to be a Tinkerer spell). For the next 8 hours, you know the special power (spell) through your attunement with nature and can cast it using your Nature Power Slots.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Skaldic Verse

You can inspire powerful emotions in others through your tales or music to greatly increase their willpower. To do so, you use a Bonus Action on Your Turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Skaldic Verse die, a d6.

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 Skaldic Verse die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Skaldic Verse die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Skaldic Verse 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.

Skald Schools

Skalds have many different methods of utilizing their mystical powers, primarily through the school in which teaches them. Since skaldic tales and abilities stem from their music, stories, or other performances, the type of performance can often impact what effect it has on on the people around them. More strict schools might involve a heavily disciplined and militaristic way of telling tales and playing music, while more liberal and expressive schools will allow for more beautiful and inspiring music.

School of Hypnotism

Hypnotists specialize in using their performances to put all that experience it into a mind-altering trance. This can be used to aid their allies or manipulate their enemies in any situation. These verses and songs are known to be tranquil and soothing, but can prove harmful to enemies nonetheless.

Any creature Charmed by you automatically fails its saving throw against the Command you cast with this feature.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Complete Hypnosis

At 14th level, you gain the ability to completely hypnotize others with your words and tap into a creature’s psyche.

As an action, you hypnotically Whisper a phrase that only one creature of your choice within 30 feet of you can hear. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. It automatically succeeds if it doesn’t share a language with you or if it can’t hear you. On a successful saving throw, your Whisper Sounds like unintelligible mumbling and has no Effect.

On a failed saving throw, the target is Charmed by you for the next 8 hours or until you or your allies Attack it, damage it, or force it to make a saving throw. It is hypnotized and will listen to anything you say with an open mind.

The Charmed creature obeys your commands as if you were a close friend. It won’t risk its life for you or fight for you, unless it was already inclined to do so. It grants you favors and gifts it would offer to a close friend.

When the Effect ends, the creature has no understanding of what happened during its trance and will remember it all as a foggy dream.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

School of Battlehymn

Any Skald who enters or learns from the school of battlehymn becomes a powerful warrior that uses phrases, words, and song to amplify their power in battle along with their allies.

Bonus Proficiencies

It is said that reciting these verses will leave all who hear it doomed to an eternity in the underworld after death.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the School of the Underworld at 3rd Level, you gain proficiency with three Skills of your choice.

Haunting Verse

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 Skaldic Verse, rolling a Skaldic Verse 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 Tale of Legends

At 6th level, you have heard the whispers of the underworld which tell of forbidden abilities and secrets used by ancient legends.

You start with the following Equipment, in addition to the equipment⁠ granted by your background:

• (a) a Quarterstaff or (b) a Dagger
• a gadget of choice and blueprints
• thieves’ tools and a dungeoneer’s pack

Creation Power (Spellcasting)

As a Student of robotics and advanced technology⁠, you have Gadget of choice along with blueprints containing Creations (spells) that show the first glimmerings of your true abilities. This class uses the Tinkerer Spell List in Chapter 8.

Gadget & Blueprints (Spellbook)

At 1st Level, you have a Gadget and blueprints (similar to a spellbook in standard 5e) containing six 1st-level Tinkerer Spells of your choice. Your Blueprints⁠ are instructions which tell you how to build your gadget, as well as a Repository of the spells and abilities⁠ you discover, except your natural abilities (Cantrips), which can be used with or without your blueprints and gadget using materials or separate devices and methods. Your gadget is a form of Power Source (in Chapter 5 under "Adventuring Gear"), and is used as a spellcasting focus.

Tools Required

To build, add to, and use your gadget, which allows you to cast your tinkerer Creation Power (spell) Effects, you must use special tools—specifically thieves’ tools or some kind of artisan’s tool. You must be proficient with the tool to use it in this way.

Natural Abilities (Cantrips)

At 1st Level, you know three Natural Abilities (Cantrips) of your choice from the Tinkerer spell list. You learn additional Tinkerer Cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Natural Abilities (Cantrips) Known column of the Tinkerer table.

Preparing and Using Creations (Casting Spells)

The Tinkerer table shows how many Creation Power (Spell) Slots you have to cast your Spells of 1st Level and higher. To cast one of these spells⁠, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended Spell Slots when you finish a Long Rest.

You prepare and install the list of Tinkerer Creation Powers (Spells) onto your gadget that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of spells⁠ from your Blueprints equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Tinkerer level (minimum of one spell). The spells⁠ must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.

For example, if you’re a 3rd-level Tinkerer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level Creation Power (Spell) Slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared Spells can include six spells⁠ of 1st or 2nd Level, in any combination, chosen from your Blueprints. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Magic Missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells⁠.

You can change your list of prepared Creation Powers (Spells) installed on your gadget when you finish a Long Rest. Preparing a new list of Creation Powers⁠ requires time spent studying your Blueprints and adding them to parts of your gadget using your tools: at least 1 minute per Creation Power (Spell) Level for each creation power (spell) on your list.

Creation Power Ability (Spellcasting Ability)

Intelligence is your Creation (Spellcasting) ability for your Tinkerer Creation Powers (Spells), since you learn your spells⁠ through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting⁠ ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting⁠ the saving throw DC for a Tinkerer Creation Power (spell) 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

Your Blueprints

The Creation Powers (Spells) and abilities that you add to your Gadget from Blueprints as you gain levels reflect the advanced Research you conduct on your own, as well as scientific breakthroughs you have had about the nature of the world and technological innovation. You might find other spells⁠ during your Adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on blueprints in an abandoned factory, for example, or in dusty records in an ancient library⁠.

Copying a Creation Power (Spell) into your Blueprints⁠. When you find a Tinkerer Creation Power (Tinkerer spell) of 1st Level or higher, you can add it to your Blueprints if it is of a Creation Power (Spell) Level you can prepare and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.

Copying that creation into your Blueprints involves reproducing the basic form of the creation, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the Inventor who designed it. You must practice the creation power until you understand the technology, methods, and parts required, then transcribe it into your Blueprints⁠ using your own notation.

For each level of the creation power (spell), the process takes 2 hours and costs ฿500,000. The cost represents material Components you expend with the writing utensils you need to record it, as well as the tools and supplies used as you experiment with the creation power (spell) and add new parts to your gadget to power the ability.

Replacing your Blueprints or Gadget⁠. You can copy a creation power (spell) from your own blueprints to another blueprint—for example, if you want to make a backup copy of your blueprints to craft another device⁠. This is just like copying a creation (spell) into your blueprints⁠, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and ฿100,000 for each level of the copied creation (spell) to copy the blueprints.

If you lose your blueprints, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the Creation Powers (Spells) that you have prepared into new blueprints⁠. Drawing out the remainder of your blueprints requires you to find new creations (spells)⁠ to do so, as normal. For this reason, many tinkerers keep backup blueprints in a safe place.

Rebuilding your gadget requires having your tools. You must spend at least 1 hour rebuilding your gadget using your tools during a Short or Long Rest in order to use it again. If you are missing your tools, you can choose to pay for a new Power Source instead, which will serve as your new gadget.

The Gadget's Appearance. Your specialized Gadget is a unique device that you build and add to over time, with its own decorative features and designs. It might be a plain metallic staff that can be disassembled, an attached segment of a weapon you are proficient with, or a complex contraption with interconnecting parts and robotic protrusions.

Ritual Casting

You can cast a Tinkerer creation power (spell) as a ritual if that creation power has the ritual tag and you have the creation power in your Blueprints. You don’t need to have the creation power prepared.

Learning Creation Powers (Spells) of 1st Level and Higher

Each time you gain a Tinkerer level, you can add two Tinkerer Spells of your choice to your Blueprint (Spellbook) for free. Each of these spells⁠ must be of a level for which you have Creation Power (Spell) Slots, as shown on the Tinkerer table. On your Adventures, you might find other Creation Powers (Spells) that you can add to your Blueprints and Gadget.

Recharging

You have learned how to restore bits of power to your Gadget by recharging it during a rest. Once per day when you finish a Short Rest, you can choose expended Creation Power (Spell) Slots to recover. The Creation Power Slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your Tinkerer level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.

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

Tinkerer Study

When you reach 2nd Level, you choose your study, shaping your knowledge and practice of inventing through various schools: Military Science, Meteorology, and Robotics.

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

Adaptive Cantrip Technology

At 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace one tinkerer cantrip you know with another cantrip from the tinkerer spell list.

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. Alternatively, you can take a feat listed in Chapter 6. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Master of Innovation

At 18th level, you have achieved such mastery over certain Creation Powers (Spells) that you can cast them at will. Choose a 1st-level Tinkerer Creation Power (spell) and a 2nd-level Tinkerer spell that are in your Spellbook. You can cast those spells⁠ at their lowest level without expending a spell slot when you have them prepared. If you want to cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend a spell slot as normal.

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

Ultimate Technology

When you reach 20th level, you gain mastery over two powerful Creation Powers (Spells) and can cast them with little effort. Choose two 3rd-level Tinkerer creation powers in your spellbook⁠ as your signature creation powers⁠. You always have these creation powers⁠ prepared, they don’t count against the number of creation powers you have prepared, and you can cast each of them once at 3rd Level without expending a creation power (spell) slot. When you do so, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or Long Rest.

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

Tinkerer Studies

Tinkerers all love to pursue scientific innovation and developing new inventions, but many specialize in different fields depending on their profession. Different types of studies will produce different results for the technology created. The personality, profession, and goals of your tinkerer may affect what studies they utilize.

Military Science

Those who study military science are heavily trained in using their knowledge and abilities for war or battle. It enhances a tinkerer's offensive and defensive capabilities in battle, making them primarily versatile in fights.

Deflector Shield

At 2nd Level, you have learned to create technology that fortifies yourself against harm. When you are hit by an Attack or you fail a saving throw, you can use your Reaction to gain a +2 bonus to your AC against that Attack or a +4 bonus to that saving throw.

When you use this feature, you can’t cast Creation Powers (Spells) other than Natural Abilities (Cantrips) until the end of your next turn.

Tactical Mind

Starting at 2nd Level, your quick wit and tactical thinking allows you to react fast in battle. You gain a bonus to your Initiative rolls equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Power Surge

Starting at 6th level, you can store power and energy within your gadgets to later empower your damaging Creation Powers (Spells). In its stored form, this energy is called a Power Surge.

You can store a maximum number of Power Surges equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). Whenever you finish a Long Rest, your number of Power Surges resets to one. Whenever you successfully end a creation power (spell) with Dispel Magic or Counterspell, you gain one Power Surge, as you steal energy from the special power (spell) you foiled. If you end a Short Rest with no Power Surges, you gain one Power Surge.

Once per turn when you deal damage to a creature or object with a Tinkerer creation power (spell), you can spend one Power Surge to deal extra force damage to that target. The extra damage equals your Tinkerer level.

Durable Tech

Beginning at 10th level, your technology is made to be incredibly tough and difficult to disrupt. While you maintain Concentration on a spell, you have a +2 bonus to AC and all Saving Throws.

Deflecting Shroud

At 14th level, your Deflector Shield becomes infused with deadly energy. When you use your Deflector Shield feature, you can cause power to arc from you. Up to three creatures of your choice that you can see within 60 feet of you each take force damage equal to half your Tinkerer level.

Meteorology

Those who study meteorology and weather science are often known for designing a numerous machines and tools that allow them to manipulate weather and storms. Some hail from places such as Weatheria, and some may simply develop these technologies on their own.

Cloud Surfing

Starting at 2nd level, you can use a Bonus Action on Your Turn to create a floating cloud beneath you that that pulls you in any direction using an air current, immediately before or after you Cast a Creation Power (Spell) of 1st level or higher. Doing so allows you to fly up to 10 feet without provoking Opportunity Attacks.

Storm Forecasting

At 6th level, you gain Resistance to lightning and thunder damage while holding your gadget. In addition, whenever you start Casting a Creation Power (Spell) of 1st level or higher that deals lightning or thunder damage, storm clouds emerge from your gadget. This eruption causes creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you to take lightning or thunder damage (choose each time this ability activates) equal to half your Tinkerer level.

At 18th level, you become immune to lightning and thunder damage while holding your gadget.

Weather Control

At 10th level, you gain the ability to create and control weather around you.

If it is raining, you can use an action to cause the rain to stop Falling or wind to change direction in a 20-foot-radius Sphere centered on you. You can end this Effect as a Bonus Action.

As an action, you can cause clouds to form in a 20-foot-radius Sphere around you and create rain and wind in that area for 1 minute. Up to 10 gallons of water will fall from this rain altogether onto whatever surface is beneath it, extinguishing any small flames, and reducing all fire damage dealt in the area by an amount equal to your intelligence modifier. The wind will disperse any fog within 20 feet of you while this Effect is active. You can also end this Effect as a Bonus Action. You can use this effect a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus until you complete a Long Rest. If you are out of uses of this feature, you may expend a creation power (spell) slot to use it again.

Thunder Counter

Starting at 14th level, when you are hit by a melee Attack, you can use your Reaction to deal thunder damage to the attacker. The damage equals your Tinkerer level. The attacker must also make a Strength saving throw against your Tinkerer creation (spell) save DC. On a failed save, the attacker is pushed in a straight line up to 20 feet away from you.

Robotics

Those who study robotics love to design automatons and robotic constructs or devices. These types of tinkerers can craft robots and mobile devices that aid them in simples tasks or combat.

Machine Summoning

Starting at 2nd Level, whenever you summon a creature using a Conjuration Creation Power (spell), it will appear as a machine or robot that you crafted. It will also be considered a Construct, but retain all other properties. The money and time you must spend to copy a Conjuration creation power into Your Gadget is halved.

Simple Robots

At 2nd Level, you can use your action to quickly craft a short robot in your hand or on the ground in an unoccupied space that you can see within 5 feet of you. This robot counts as a tiny or small Construct and weighs no more than 10 pounds, and it can only be made of simple materials and metals. Its AC is equal to 8 + your Intelligence Modifier, and its HP is 1. It can function and move within 30 feet of you while you hold your Gadget. Once it leaves this radius, it will power down and become useless. It can walk, swim, or fly (pick one) at a speed of 30 feet while it is active, and carry up to half of its weight. As an action on your turn, you can tell it to perform a simple task such as retrieving an object nearby, opening a small door, or fitting through a tight space.

Additionally, you can instead create an inanimate contraption in your hand or on the ground in an unoccupied space that you can see within 5 feet of you. This object can be no larger than 3 feet on a side and weigh no more than 10 pounds, and its shape must be that of a simple object that you have seen. The object is electrically powered, radiating bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet if you use a bonus action to turn it on.

This robot or contraption falls apart and gets destroyed after 1 hour unless you spend an action to maintain it at the end of the hour. It will also be destroyed if it takes at least a point of damage, or if you make another robot or contraption.

Quantum Teleportation

Starting at 6th level, you can use your action to teleport⁠ up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see. Alternatively, you can choose a space within range that is occupied by a robot, contraption, or Construct that you have created or summoned. You both teleport, swapping places.

Reinforced Exterior

Starting at 14th level, any creature that you summon or create with a Conjuration creation power (spell) has 30 Temporary Hit Points.

Warrior

Warriors are fighters that have been trained in the use of armed combat. Many have been trained as soldiers, samurai, or bounty hunters. Some have simply become proficient at using weapons through intense training and combat experience.

Creating a Warrior

Depending on your background and weapon preference, you might want to be a fighter that relies on strength or dexterity. You may want to use melee weapons or stick to being ranged. Strength fighters may opt to use a sword and shield or a heavier weapon, with decent armor equipped. Other fighters may want to use finesse weapons that rely on dexterity. If you want to rely more on incorporating guns or other ranged weapons into your build, dexterity would also be your priority.

Quick Build

You can make a Warrior quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength or Dexterity your highest ability score, depending on whether you want to focus on Melee Weapons or on guns (or Finesse weapons). Your next-highest score should be Constitution, or Intelligence if you plan to adopt the Elemental Weapon Warrior Archetype. Second, choose the Soldier Background.

Warrior Types

Fighters can vary by the types of weapons they use, what style of fighting they want to utilize, and what they want to provide for their allies. Once you have chosen the type of warrior you are, follow the subclass features listed below.

Cursed Soul

Somehow, along the lines you have become the host to one or more evil presences caged within you. This may either be due to wielding a cursed weapon, being hexed, or perhaps simply having a tainted spirit yourself. Regardless of how you became this way, you have slowly developed a craving for blood and violence. Will you follow the path of destruction? Or will you simply crumble from the curse brought upon you? Only your own strength and willpower can determine your fate.

Champion of Malice

When you reach 3rd Level, you harbor evil energy within yourself. This energy is represented by your Cursed Spirit dice, which are each a d6. You have a number of these dice equal to twice your Proficiency Bonus, and they fuel various cursed powers you have, which are detailed below.

Some of your powers expend the Cursed Spirit die they use, as specified in a power's description, and you can't use a power if it requires you to use a die when your dice are all expended. You regain all your expended Cursed Spirit dice when you finish a Long Rest. In addition, as a Bonus Action, you can regain one expended Cursed Spirit die, but you can't do so again until you finish a short or Long Rest.

When you reach certain levels in this class, the size of your Cursed Spirit dice increases: at 5th Level (d8), 11th level (d10), and 17th level (d12).

Saving Throws. Some of your cursed abilities require your target to make a saving throw to resist the curse’s Effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Curse save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier

The powers below use your Cursed Spirit dice:

Demon Strike

You can enhance your Weapons with demonic energy. Once on each of your turns, immediately after you hit a target within 30 feet of you with an Attack and deal damage to it with a weapon, you can expend one Cursed Spirit die, rolling it and dealing necrotic, psychic or radiant damage (your choice) to the target equal to the number rolled plus your Intelligence modifier.

Hellish Glare

By channeling your curse through your appearance, you can cripple a creature that can see you within 30 feet with fear. As a bonus action on your turn, you can force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw against your Curse save DC. If the save fails, the creature is frightened of you until the end of your next turn. Once you take this action, you can't do so again until you finish a short or Long Rest, unless you expend a Cursed Spirit die to take it again.

Arms of Asura

You begin to grow illusory cursed arms, allowing you to make additional attacks on your turn.

When you hit a creature with an Attack, you can expend one Cursed Spirit die to attempt to damage another creature with a mirrored version of the same Attack. Choose another creature within 5 feet of the original target and within 30 feet of you. If the original Attack roll would hit the second creature, it takes necrotic, psychic or radiant damage (your choice) equal to the number you roll on your Cursed Spirit die.

Evil's Embrace

Starting at 7th level, you gain new ways to utilize your cursed spirit:

Fallen Angel Wings

As a Bonus Action, you grow spiritual black wings. You gain a flying speed equal to twice your walking speed until the end of the current turn. Once you take this Bonus Action, you can't do so again until you finish a short or Long Rest, unless you expend a Cursed Spirit die to take it again.

Purgatory Strike

When you deal damage to a target with your Demon Strike, you can force the target to make a Strength saving throw. If the save fails, you can knock the target prone or move it up to 10 feet in any direction horizontally.

Shepard of Spirits

Beginning at 10th level, your ability to host and contain spirits has allowed your mind to grow stronger. You have Resistance to psychic damage. Moreover, if you start Your Turn Charmed or Frightened, you can expend a Cursed Spirit die and end every Effect on yourself subjecting you to those Conditions.

Silver Mist

Starting at 15th level, you can enhance yourself with an intense demonic aura which allows you to manifest spirital arms and weapons for a period of time. As a Bonus Action, you grow extra arms that give you advantage on one of your attacks made each turn and gain a bonus of +2 to Armor Class. This lasts for 1 minute or until you're Incapacitated.

Once you take this Bonus Action, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend 2 Cursed Spirit die to take it again.

Jest of the Dead

Beginning at 18th level, your Silver Mist feature is now enhanced even further. While using Silver Mist, you grow even more extra appendages and heads that give you these additional bonuses:

• When you hit a creature with an Attack, you can use your Reaction to force that creature to make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone, as if struck by several attacks at once.
• Additionally, your extra heads give you advantage on saving throws against being blinded, deafened, stunned or knocked unconcious.
• You can use your Demon Strike feature on any attack you make against a creature within 30 feet, instead of once per turn, by expending a Cursed Spirit die.

Black Weapon

Black weapon users are born with incredibly powerful spirits and willpower, which they channel into their weapons. By utilizing armament haki, their weapons become darkened over time until they turn pitch black.

Sharpened Spirit

Beginning when you choose this style at 3rd Level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Haki Weapon

At 7th level, you may unlock any one "Uncommon" Color of Armament Haki Advancement feat from Chapter 7 of this book. If you have already taken all the uncommon armament haki feats, you may take an uncommon haki advancement feat under a different color of haki, assuming you meet the prerequisites.

Improved Style

At 10th level, you can choose a second option from the Fighting Style class feature.

Superior Sharpened Spirit

Starting at 15th level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18-20.

Haki Weapon Master

At 18th level, you may unlock any one "Very Rare" or lower Color of Armament Haki Advancement feat from Chapter 7. If you have already taken all the very rare and lower armament haki feats, you may take a very rare or lower haki advancement feat under a different color of haki, assuming you meet the prerequisites.

Elemental Weapon

Through learning how to channel elemental energy through your weapon, you can coat your attacks in an element of your choice. Many Wano Kuni samurai have mastered this style.

Elementalist (Spellcasting)

When you reach 3rd Level, you augment your martial Prowess with the ability to use Elemental Powers (Cast Spells). See "Casting a Spell" for the general rules of Spellcasting in the Standard D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook. You use the Tinkerer spell list in Chapter 8.

Natural Abilities (Cantrips). You learn two Natural Abilities (Cantrips) of your choice from the Tinkerer spell list. You learn an additional tinkerer⁠ cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Elemental Power (Spell) Slots. The Elemental Weapon Powers (Spellcasting) table shows how many Spell Slots you have to cast your tinkerer Spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells⁠, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended Spell Slots when you finish a Long Rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield⁠ using either slot.

Elemental Powers (Spells)⁠ Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level Tinkerer Spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the Abjuration and Evocation spells⁠ on the Tinkerer spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Elemental Weapon Spellcasting table shows when you learn more Tinkerer spells⁠ of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells⁠ must be an Abjuration or Evocation spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd Level.

The Spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the Tinkerer spells⁠ you know with another spell of your choice from the Tinkerer spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots, and it must be an Abjuration or Evocation spell, unless you’re replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level from any school of magic.

Special Power (Spellcasting) Ability. Intelligence is your Spellcasting Ability for your Tinkerer spells⁠, since you learn your spells⁠ through study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting⁠ ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting⁠ the saving throw DC for a Tinkerer spell you cast and when Making an Attack roll with one.

Special Power save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Special Power Attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Elemental Style

At 3rd Level, you learn a ritual that creates a spiritual bond between yourself and one weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a Short Rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and forge the bond.

Once you have bonded a weapon to yourself, you can use any bonded weapon as a Spellcasting Focus for your Tinkerer Spells. Any spells you cast will emanate from your weapon as if channeling your spirit through your weapon and releasing the spell from it. For example, if you cast Fire Bolt, imagine a fire slash or wave being released from your weapon toward your target.

Additionally, when you attack and hit with a bonded weapon, you can expend one spell slot to deal fire, cold, or lightning damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 2d6 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d6 for each Spell Level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d6.

You can have up to three bonded Weapons. If you attempt to bond with a fourth weapon, you must break the bond with one of the other three.

Dance of Elements

Beginning at 7th level, when you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can make one weapon Attack as a Bonus Action.

Water Siphon

At 10th level, you learn how to make your weapon strikes undercut a creature’s Resistance to your Spells. When you hit a creature with a weapon Attack, that creature has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes against a spell you cast before the end of your next turn.

Lightning Dash

At 15th level, you gain the ability to teleport⁠ up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see when you use your Action Surge. You can teleport⁠ before or after the additional action.

Improved Dance of Elements

Starting at 18th level, when you use your action to Cast a Spell, you can make one weapon Attack as a Bonus Action.

Chapter 4: Crew & Background

The personality, characteristics, roles, and background of your character should have a great deal of thought and consideration put into them. How you develop these depends on how you want to play your character and how you want to fit into the world your DM is designing. Additionally, you should consider how your character will impact the roles and relationships between the other player characters and you. Although you should prioritize making a character that satisfies what you want out of a game, make sure you are allowing others to have fun alongside you when you design your character's personality and goals.

For the most part, you want to look at Chapter 4: Personality and Background in the D&D 5th Edition Players Handbook for more information on developing your character's personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws. It will also provide a great number of character personality traits, alignment, and other useful info for designing your One Piece character for you to use. In addition to these, I will be providing new backgrounds and crew roles that are more utile for a One Piece setting and campaign.

Name and Physical Characteristics

While One Piece has a wide variety of names and designs it borrows from various real people, places, and languages.

Name

It is difficult to categorize or simplify the naming process of One Piece in any significant way. If you wish to name your characters in the traditional One Piece manner, feel free to use the Japanese naming format with slight alterations and inspiration from other regions for your characters.

For example, if you are a Fish-man Martial Artist Cook, you might name yourself Judan (which is Japanese for 10th Dan in Karate) or something similar. And your family name might be Maguro (Japanese for Bluefin Tuna). So your full name might be Maguro Judan. Alternatively, you could implement more western style names into your character's name or nickname. Since this example character is also a cook, you could consider swapping the first or last name with Marzipan, a western confection. This method will help you give your character a more One Piece inspired name for any campaign. However, it is ultimately up to how you want to come up with your character's name.

Physical Appearance

One Piece displays a wide variety of character designs and styles throughout its story. Many character designs appear cartoonish, while others may appear to resemble real life leaders or historical figures.

If you want to emulate the style of traditional One Piece characters, especially those found on the Grand Line, be sure to exaggerate a lot of your character's features and habits. If you want to design a character that is a baseball player, you might give him large hands and a huge baseball cap. Or if you want to design a tall and slender marksman, you could make her roughly 8 feet tall and carry an extremely long rifle on her back.

Most player characters should be around small or medium in size, meaning they will be anywhere from 2 to 8 feet tall (unless altered by a special effect or devil fruit). Any character shorter or taller than this would be a different character size, such as Large or Tiny. Most humans will be somewhere around 5 to 6 feet tall, while other races will vary greatly in size.

If you are unsure, you can randomize your height and weight using the D&D 5e Players Handbook method by using [4'8" + 2d10] to determine your character's height, and use [110 lb. x (2d4) lb.] to determine your character's weight.

Alignment

Alignment, as described in D&D, is used to describe your character's moral and personal attitude. According to the alignment system, your character's morality can be defined as good, evil, or neutral, and your character's personal attitude toward society and order can be identified as lawful, chaotic, or neutral. You combine your character's morality and personal attitude together to form your alignment. There are a total of 9 possible alignments, as follows:

• Lawful Good (LG) characters typically follow any laws and expectations, such as those laid out by society or any government system, while also trying their best to do the right thing. Many upstanding Marines and citizens may fall under this category. (e.g. Koby)
• Neutral Good (NG) creatures do their best to help others, but only while following their own path and satisfying their own desires. Independent Marines, citizens, and certain kind-hearted adventurers may fall under this category. (e.g. Smoker)
• Chaotic Good (CG) individuals act on impulse and a more instinctual desire to help others, while rarely following the status quo and common expectations. Certain pirates and explorers with hearts of gold will fall under this alignment. (e.g. Luffy)
• Lawful Neutral (LN) characters will follow all laws and personal codes they believe in, but are far less concerned about how positively or negatively they impact others. Most marines fall under this category. (e.g. Kizaru)
• Neutral (N) is an alignment of folk who avoid taking any side or moral stance on issues, doing whatever seems naturally best for them in each situation. Many independent pirates and lone wolf figures fall under this alignment. (e.g. Mihawk)

• Chaotic Neutral (CN) individuals prioritize absolute freedom, and do whatever their gut tells them to do, even if it isnt beneficial for others. Many pirates and revolutionaries may fall under this alignment. (e.g. Ace)

• Lawful Evil (LE) creatures are willing to take from others and commit horrible deeds, so long as they follow a set of rules, traditions, and order. Very cruel marines may fall under this alignment. (e.g. Akainu)
• Neutral Evil (NE) characters are selfish, often twisted, and frequently prioritize their own interests and goals over the happiness of anyone else. Evil pirates seeking fortune and power may fall under this alignment. (e.g. Blackbeard)

• Chaotic Evil (CE) creatures are cruel, greedy, hateful, and bloodthirsty, always seeking out prey and creatures to harm. The most despicable pirates and criminals fall under this alignment. (e.g. Doflamingo)

Personal Characteristics

Your character's characteristics make up their personality and relationships with others and the world around them. These characteristics include personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws.

Each background will include a number of examples of each personal characteristic for you to use or roll up.

Personality Traits

Your character should have about two personality traits that are often acted out. These personality traits should be fun and interesting to act out for you while roleplaying as your character. They will also set apart your character from others, and could make you a memorable part of the group.

These traits might include something your character appreciates, funny quirks, mannerisms, past accomplishments, strange ways of laughing or talking, or a reflection of his or her ability scores.

Ideals

Choose one ideal for your character. Ideals are powerful motivators that brings your character a great deal of joy or satisfaction through exploring or progressing through the campaign. These may include the dreams, morals, ethics, beliefs, and goals of your character. These ideals should be expressed by your character whenever necessary, through action or words. For example, if your character believes him or herself to be a hero that saves others across the sea, you might always try to respond to cries for help and convince your allies to assist you.

Consider using elements of your race, class, role, and background to decide what ideals will drive you throughout the adventure.

Bonds

Create one bond for your character. Bonds can be described as a connection your character has with a person, place, group, or thing. This bond can impact parts of your personality traits, ideal, and flaws in various ways.

Some examples of bonds can be a deep connection to a person who once existed in your life that you learned a lot from. Or perhaps a place you grew up in was taken over by marines, and you wish to return there some day. Maybe you carry a ring or bracelet that holds a ton of sentimental value. No matter what your bond may be, it should be a powerful factor in how your character makes decisions or develops his or her goals.

Consider using elements of your race, class, role, and background to decide what bonds you may have with other people, places, or things.

Flaws

Lastly, choose a flaw for your character. A flaw is something that is normally considered a weakness or negative trait your character might have. It could be a quality that is fun to act out, or it could serve to balance your character's overwhelmingly positive traits. This could be an irrational fear, weakness, embarrassing secret, compulsion, or negative bias against something most regard as positive.

Consider using elements of your race, class, role, and background to determine what might be a weakness or fear of your character.

Inspiration Dice Alternative: Pirate Prestige

In order to understand how crew roles work, it is important to understand a new system of reward points I am introducing called "Pirate Prestige". This is intended to reward players for playing their roles to the best of their ability, while also promoting proper teamwork. A crew that works together will succeed, and this system is designed to make that process feel very fulfilling. While you can use Inspiration Dice in favor of this system if you don't like it, it is another easy way to balance crew roles by rewarding points to players, which can be used for strengthening their role's abilities and different roleplay elements.

The way this works is fairly simple. Whenever players overcome a difficult challenge, like winning a fight against a mighty enemy pirate, battling a deadly storm on the seas, or simply saving a town from danger, everyone who did well in that situation will gain a point of pirate prestige. However, characters that were absent, didn't want to help the group, or simply complained and caused issues for others shouldn't receive any points. Fighting pointless battles, intentionally running into dangerous situations which have no reward, or simply trying to farm these points will not net the crew any points. At higher levels, you can also choose to elect an MVP character during an event. Players may decide someone in the crew went above and beyond in overcoming a challenge, and give them a large surge of pirate prestige points at the end of the encounter. An MVP may roll a 1d4 at the end of such an event, and gain a number of pirate prestige points equal to the number rolled. A character can have a maximum number of Pirate Prestige points equal to half their character level, rounded up.

Methods of Spending Pirate Prestige

While pirate prestige should be primarily used to benefit the crew as a whole and should heavily reward teamwork, it can also be spent in a few other ways. Stockpiling these points can be rewarding and beneficial to overcoming future challenges. Other uses for pirate prestige is described under "Crew Roles" up next, but these points can be used for anything that the DM deems to be fun or appropriate for roleplay, investigating, or exploration, such as the following abilities:

Pirate Prestige Ability: Locate Quests

When exploring a populated town, city, or village, a character may expend 1 pirate prestige point to locate a random NPC or troubled creature that will provide them with a task to complete (up to the DM to decide the difficulty and reward), without needing to make any skill checks. To use this ability again, a character must complete a long rest.

Pirate Prestige Ability: Find Minor Clue

If a group is stuck on a mission or quest that they need to complete, a character may expend 1 pirate prestige point to ask the DM for a minor hint or clue that may lead them on the right track. This can only be used once per character during any single mission or quest.

Pirate Prestige Ability: Gain Reputation

If a group wants to gain recognition or respect in a single kingdom, village or town, or simply undo their negative reputation, characters may spend 24 hours and 1 pirate prestige point to spread rumors and tales of their deeds and gain 1 point of reputation in that location (explained further in the One Piece D&D 5E DM's guide). A character can only use this ability this way once per location, and a crew can only spend a total of 5 pirate prestige points altogether to gain reputation in a location. A crew cannot use this ability when they only have 1 reputation point in that location.

Crew Roles

Your crew role is an additional feature that can be used alongside your character's background and class. It essentially gives you the ability to specialize in a field or duty and succeed where others may fail. While it may not provide a wide variety of bonuses and stats, it will be crucial to developing a stable crew and allocating jobs on a functioning ship. Your role should be something you enjoy doing when playing as your character. For example, if you are a cyborg tinkerer, you may take pride in being the crew's shipwright. This may also tie into your character's ideals and background.

Deciding your role can depend on your class and background, but can ultimately be anything that would fit your character's interests. Work with other players to decide what would make for a balanced team, and try to give everyone a unique position and function. Without proper coordination and cohesion, as well as leadership, a ship and its crew could easily fall apart. While your role may not provide any proficiencies, equipment, or languages, it will provide features that will make you a very useful and unique addition to your crew.

Crew role can be decided at any point early in the campaign or during character introductions. But it should make sense and align with everyone character's strengths and abilities.

Allocating or Swapping Roles

While a crew role can be decided at any point when designing or playing your character early on, it may prove difficult to suddenly change roles on a whim. While you can officially swap to a different role and perform its basic functions, you cannot have the pirate prestige abilities of a new role until you actively work and study that role for at least [3d6 x 10] days to adjust to it. Until then, can only perform basic tasks for that role and use the regular features.

Captain

Your role is very simple: you motivate, guide, and command your ship and crew. It is possible for the captain of a ship to have a number of complex roles, but they should typically be the strongest and most charismatic individual in a crew. Some captains may differ or have unique personalities, but their goal should be to unite their allies in troubling times to tackle any obstacle, in order to accomplish their dreams and goals.

The captain should always have the last say during any group decision or plan. While some crews may not entirely center around their captain, it is important to still give them a high degree of authority over the decision process.

Feature: Captain's Charisma

A captain is the head of the ship, but should never act like a tyrant when operating a healthy crew. When they lead a charge, your allies should follow. When they call a shot, others should respect it. When they are speaking, the crew should listen. This shouldn't be a power that is abused, but rather a quality that your comrades revere. If you tell a member of your crew to perform an action, they will feel naturally compelled to complete it. However, if a duty directly goes against their alignment, ideals, personality traits, class, background, or race (or is simply too ridiculous to consider), they are allowed to refrain.

Pirate Prestige Ability: Crew Recruitment

*To understand how to run crew recruitment, make sure the DM has read information on "Hirelings" under the Ships and Sailing section in the Dungeons and Devil Fruits Dungeon Master's Guide.

A character that has the captain role can easily recruit other pirates by spending their pirate prestige points at various locations. A captain can spend a pirate prestige point to recruit a regular hireling or specialist for a week without needing to pay them. The hireling will still need to have their basic needs met, and will demand pay a week after the initial week is over unless another prestige point is spent.

You cannot recruit in locations where your crew has a reputation of 5 or less.

Navigator

The role of a navigator involves charting, mapping, and understanding the weather and conditions that they may encounter on their crew's journey. The navigator is crucial to the ship effectively progressing to the next island or continent throughout the adventure. Without a decent navigator on board, the crew may end up lost for several days or weeks in dangerous waters.

Being a navigator means you must take responsibility for charting the crew's course, making rolls to stay on course, and avoiding getting lost or stuck in storms and bad weather.

Feature: Charting and Mapping

A player that chooses the navigator role will actively aid in helping the crew along both in and out of character. With the DM's assistance, you have the ability to physically map out and chart the course of the ship and nearby islands. Sometimes, you will be required to make various Wisdom or Intelligence skill checks to properly map out territories in more treacherous waters. Otherwise, this process should be effortless for your character under ordinary circumstances.

Additionally, you can assist in directing the ship on the right path. If the helmsman or captain is attempting to stay on course in the proper direction, you may assist them in rolling skill checks if you have properly analyzed the weather and map of the surrounding region.

Pirate Prestige Ability: Storm Tracking

In places like the grand line, fully understanding the weather and climate conditions is often incredibly difficult. However, that doesn't mean it's impossible for a talented navigator. In most situations, if you are about to run into dangerous weather or climates, the DM may warn the navigator in advance if they succeed on their skill checks. This may be done through subtle hints or simply describing what kind of weather is seen up ahead.

In some instances, the weather may appear so dangerous that it would cause a great deal of damage to the ship and crew if sailed through. If the navigator is unable to find a way around this, they may choose to expend 1 pirate prestige point to completely steer clear and avoid the storm or danger. It is possible that the storm may be exceptionally dangerous, so much so that 1 pirate prestige point won't be enough to satisfy the condition and completely avoiding it. In this case, the DM may demand that you spend additional points to navigate around such a situation in the more extreme regions of the world.
