Chapter 1: Æthiel's Journey for Knowledge

Where it all Began

I have lived for far too long. I've witnessed joy and sorrow, anger and love, fear and excitement. I've seen it all. I made friends, I watched as they became my family, and then I watched again as they all lived out their full lives. But all the while, as they grew old and weak, I remained the same. Ever watching, always vigilant, time itself took away everything I ever loved.

Once I had lost it all, once I had watched my final friend grow old and die, I told myself I would find my purpose. So find my purpose I did. I traveled far and wide, watching and learning with the eager curiosity of a child. I had taken it upon myself to learn everything that the world had to teach.

For centuries I traveled, seeking out knowledge from the most unusual of sources, always keeping track of my findings. I learned of new people I had never seen before, new cultures foreign to my mind, new spells beyond my comprehension; I learned so much.

As I traveled, I decided that simply learning wasn't enough. What good was all this wisdom and knowledge if I simply kept it to myself? So I began writing, and describing, and trying my best to convey the messages that the world had taught me. I wanted to create a book, a book bursting with wisdom, overflowing with knowledge, I no longer simply wanted to learn everything, I wanted the world to learn it all too.

So I wrote this volume for you, I wrote this for you to learn. Because as long as my life has been, as treacherous as my journey was, and as broken as I have felt; I wouldn't change it for the world.

Chapter 2: Optional Game Rules

Game Rules

The following are optional rules you can implement in your own games for a better playing experience.

Flying Tweaks

When flying, creatures may take enough damage to take them out of flight.

When in natural flight, a creature must concentrate on flying as if it were a spell. This concentration is separate from spellcasting, as you are still allowed to cast spells with that requirement. If you lose your concentration, you lose you're flying speed for the turn. (note that the PHB lists the falling speed as 500 feet per turn, but fall damage caps at 20d6).

This concentration check is a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. (If half the damage dealt to the creature is more than 10, use that amount as the DC instead)

Creatures with a natural flying speed (from their race/being a creature with wings) also gain resistance to falling damage, as flying creatures are used to hitting the ground in crash landings.

This does not affect creatures who fly through hovering, as their means of natural flight come from an internal magical source.

Saving Throws

When making a saving throw, if you roll a natural 1 you'll take critical damage. The good news is that the same goes for your enemies.

Death Saves

The Dungeon Master rolls death saves for the characters and hides them from the players. This way more tension is added and makes for more of a realistic approach to combat.

Inspiration

Typically in D&D, the Dungeon Master can award inspiration to a character for any number of things. It's commonly a reward for excellent roleplaying, heroic moments, or clever ideas.

However, now, the group can award one token of inspiration at the end of every session. The players get to choose their own criteria for whom they think deserves it, and take a vote at the end.

This is a good way to help players feel valued, as long as the group can be trusted not to argue.

Attack Rolls

When making a melee attack against a creature, if you roll a natural 1, not only do you fail to hit the creature, but they are allowed one opportunity attack against you. Luckily for you, the same goes for them.

Chapter 3: Races

Dryad

Dryads are humanoids who live within the woods. They blend in with nature itself due to plant-like properties that grow out of their bodies, like twigs, grass hairs, bark skin, leaves, and even flowers. For the most part, dryads are almost exclusively female, though some may be androgynous, as they are merely spirits of nature in the end. Dryads embody the trees usually, but some are found in other plants like river reeds and flower bushes. Dryads are typically described as fleeting and beautiful.

Society

As dryads are bound to their forests, they fear encroaching modernity from civilization. Usually, they live in the forests their whole lives. Within these woods, they are usually frequented by travelers and other interlopers within the natural world. Many dryads host parties with fey entities like fairies, boggles, and boisterous satyrs. They otherwise live very simple lives, merely subsisting off the nature around them. Even the dryads who adventure, having been able to leave their forest, live sparsely. They feel uncomfortable in cities and will rarely indulge in excess.

Dryad Names

Dryads take their names from something in nature or something that relates to their home plants.

Dryad names include: Dryope, Erato, Eurydice, Balanos, Epimeliades, Igeiros, Olivis, Oake, Chrysopeleia, Phigalia, Tithorea, Kraneia, Daphnaeae, Morea, Kissiae, Meliae, Sythis, Trostani, Willowdusk, Elme.

Dryad Traits

Your dryad character has the following racial traits.

Age. Dryads age just like a tree, very slowly, which means they can live anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand years old.

Size. Dryads come in many sizes, ranging from a little under 5 feet to almost 8 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Barkskin. You have naturally tough skin covering you from head to toe. While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 12 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Mask of the Wild. You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.

Arboreal Body. Because your physiology is primarily composed of plant matter, your creature type is both fey and humanoid.

Nature Whisperer. You are one with the forest and it speaks to you. You can communicate with beasts and plants. They can understand the meaning of your words, though you have no special ability to understand them in return.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write, Common and Sylvan.

Gorgon

Gorgons are a species of warriors nearly indistinguishable from humans. Their defining feature is their hair of snakes, which they often conceal with clothing. Gorgons are very concerned about their appearance and take great offense at the implication that the species is somehow cursed - or worse, that their petrification gaze works because they are so horrifying to look at.

Society

Gorgons live their lives in solitude, lashing out aggresively at outsiders. Occasionally, however, a gorgon will go out in search of a higher calling. Under such circumstances, they are still highly volatile, but they possess a curiosity that their unadventurous counterparts lack.

Stony Resilience. While looking as fragile as a human, your skin is as hard as stone. While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Petrifying Gaze. As an action on your turn, you can unleash the energy within yourself, causing your eyes to turn into pools of darkness. Each creature within 10 feet of you that can see you must succeed on a Charisma saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or become paralyzed until the end of your next turn.

Mental Resetting. Homunculi don't need to sleep. Instead, they enter an inactive state, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day.

After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Chapter 4: Classes

Bandit

A lone man walks into a bandit camp. He looks to his left, then, to his right, and finally to the large group of men standing before him. Despite being completely outnumbered and surrounded, he smirks, confident in his abilities and the mystical powers he wields. As he draws his blade and channels arcane power, an axe suddenly flies into his head, crushing his skull and killing him in an instant. Their leader lets out a hearty laugh; their numbers seemed to be more than enough of a match for his overconfidence.

Vicious and Avaricious

Bandits make their living traveling from one place to another, pillaging whatever looks valuable along the way. If a spot is particularly prosperous, they might set up a camp and live there for awhile, defending it from invaders. But having a home to return to won't stop them from achieving their goal: gold. Willing to steal it, destroy homes, and even murder friends for it, greed is the driving force behind a bandit's ambition.

Noble Thievery

Not all bandits are evil. Oppression, drought, disease, or famine can often drive otherwise honest folk to a life of banditry. They might be freebooters interested only in treasure and murder, or they might be privateers sanctioned by the crown to attack and plunder an enemy nation's vessels.

Creating a Bandit

When making a bandit, think about what drove your character to banditry. Were they forced to steal in order to survive? Do they find joy in the chaos and solace in the money? What is it that drives them towards the riches they so sorely seek?

Quick Build

You can make a bandit quikly by following these suggestions. First, Strength should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the criminal background.

Creatures who are flying or levitating are pulled into the whirlpool by phantasmal chains so long as they no more than 10 feet above the whirlpool. If you use this feature against creatures in water, the size increases to 90 feet, they make their saving throw with disadvantage, and take 12d12 bludgeoning damage instead of 12d8.

A creature dragged to the bottom of the ocean this way does not drown, but is restrained and cannot speak.

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

Duelist

By Everyone's Favorite Dane

A human in shiny plate armor rushes towards her friends, shielding them from the fiery breath of a red dragon. She shouts at the beast while banging her sword on her chest, taunting the dragon into fighting her instead.

An elf clad in leather dances around an evil necromancer, striking with short intervals before slaying him with a dagger to the throat, ending his vile reign.

A tiefling smirks as an orc charges at her. She chants quickly, her blade erupting with flames. She then blinks behind the orc, dropping his guard for a quick strike.

Duelists are fighters who rely on one-on-one combat to use their powers in the best way. Since most duelists are of royal blood, most of them live by a code of honor, in which they do not fight dirty. They are highly educated, favoring their intelligence and speed to outsmart opponents to defeat them swiftly and effectively.

You against me

Duelists excel in single combat, when they can be alone against one target. They learn the basics of most combat styles, favoring the light and nimble weapons such as the rapier or the shortsword, but a duelist with enough training can use a battleaxe with the grace that other combatants could not. Each duelist specializes in a different style of combat. Some concentrate on one weapon, some on fighting with two weapons at once, and some even wielding shields in combat or a heavy weapon in both hands. This specialization makes the duelist very deadly with their specific type of weapon, and makes them superior in their duels.

Artist of battle

A duelist usually comes from the upper class, taking up their training by a young age. But even a low-class scoundrel can pick up a few tricks, and thus become a duelist.

As a duelist, you gain the following features.

Arcane strikes

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

Additionally, when you use Magical Prowess feature, your ally can add your dueling ace die to the first attack they hit on their next turn.

Brains over Brawn

At the 10th level, your spell attacks deal additional damage equal to your Dexterity modifier. Your weapon attacks also deal additonal force damage equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Additionally, you can use a finesse weapon as a spellcasting focus for spells you cast, and you can cast them even if you do not have a free hand.

Arcane Arsenal

At the 14th level, you can use your action to summon a magical clone of a weapon in your hands within 30 feet of you.

The weapon clone floats slightly above the ground, and is controlled by you. At the beginning of your turn, you may move the weapon clone up to 30 feet in any direction. As part of your attack action, or as an action, you may make an attack with the weapon clone. The weapon clone uses your Intelligence modifier for attack and damage rolls. The weapon clone is an exact copy of a weapon you are wielding, but deals force damage instead of bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing.

Additionally, your Intelligence score is increased by 4. Your maximum for that score is now 24.

Shaman

Unlike other spellcasters, shamans rely on their physical fortitude for their magic, rather than their mental prowess. They channel their magic through their bodies, allowing them to accomplish feats that others would deem impossible.

Intertwined with Nature

Shamans must connect with nature in order to use their magic. That is why there are so few shamans in cities and other places where civilization has uprooted the wilds. The gentle quiet of a forest or a distant mountainside may help foster deeper meditation for shamans. While on the other hand, a shaman capable of connecting with the nature in a city is one of true strength and focus, even when the world around is distracting

Most shamans tend to not like grand civilizations and people, seeing as they destroy nature to expand, but on some cases after interacting with them they may come to enjoy the company of some people.

Through Body and Mind

Shamanic magic is channelled through the body, typically carried in their blood, but it's their mind that allows them to direct it. Shamans use their physical strength to cast magic, and their mental strength to control it.

Lovers of the Land

Shamans' connection to the wilds is incredibly unique. They bond with the the dirt and the grass, the stones and the trees, the water and the wind. But unlike other nature enthusiasts, shamans lack an affinity for wildlife; they tend not to care for animals any more than an average person, to them, its the land itself that provides.

Creating a Shaman

When creating a shaman, think aboout what initiated your connection with the land. Why or how does the magic of the earth flow through your veins? Were you abandoned as a child? Did the wilds provide you comfort when no one else would? Was the magic forced into your body during a cruel experiment?

Quick Build

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

With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of shaman spells requires time spent in meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Constitution is your spellcasting ability for your shaman spells, since your magic quite literally flows through your veins. You use your Constitution whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability.

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

Landslide

By 13th level you have learned to summon the land to crush your enemies.

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

Elemental Companion

Beginning at 14th level, when targeting a creature with a spell that forces them to make a Constitution saving throw, you can choose to cause the ground beneath them to shake when you cast the spell. You can use this feature to force the target to make their Constitution saving throw with disadvantage.

On a failed save, the target is caught off guard and stumbles, causing the spell to deal double damage, or last twice as long, you may choose if the spell has a duration and causes damage. On a success, this feature does nothing.

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

You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your Wisdom modifier rounded down (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Spiritual Sense

At 10th level you are able to detect the presence of spirits even at great distances. As an action you allow your connection to the ethereal plane to guide your senses. For 5 minutes you know the location of every creature within 100ft of you.

With another action you can increase your focus to expand the range of this feature to 500ft and learn 2 things:

• The exact number of creatures you're sensing.

• You get a glimpse of their power. The DM tells you if the creature is: weak (CR 0 to 1), average (CR 2 to 4), strong (CR 5 to 9), powerful (CR 10 to 15), fearsome (CR 15 to 20), terrifying (CR 21 to 26), or monstrous (CR 27 to 30).

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

Bridge Between Worlds

Starting at 14th level with your strong spiritual power, you can create spiritual totems. Once per day, you can spend 1 hour to create a number of totems equal to your Wisdom modifier. When you do so, any totems previously created by this feature vanish. These totems can be used by your allies, connecting them with the ethereal plane, allowing them to see what you see.

As a bonus action, a creature holding one of these totems can activate it, allowing them to see into the ethereal plane for 1 hour, and causing the totem to vanish.

Shaman Spell List

Spellshaper

Spellshapers are among the most narrowly focused of mages. They choose to focus on mastery a small selection of spells and rely on that skill to make up for their lack of versatility.

Careful Studies

Spellshapers rely entirely on their studies and knowledge in order to wield magic. They are often teased and mocked because they spend years studying only to emerge with a small selection of spells at their disposal.

Martial Artists

Spellshapers combine their studying of magic with their innate knowledge of martial arts in order to become the most powerful of warriors. They use their martial arts to help them dodge and weave around the attacks of others. Then, they use their magic to strike their foes with attacks even stronger than the ones thrown at them.

Creating a Spellshaper

When making a spellshaper, think about what kind of magic your character is most interested in. Do they wish to learn how to control and copy others' magic? Or are they interested in creating powerful, unqiue spells that they can use to fell their enemies.

Spellshaper Spell List

Wanderer

Wanderers' magic revolves around fate and the manipulation of destiny. They can perceive the matrix of fate and foresee the destinies of others. Their magic typically manifests itself at an incredibly young age and for seemingly no reason at all.

Wanderers know that change is a part of being alive and the future is never set in stone. They are mages shrouded in mystery.

Mysterious Magic

Wanderers pull their magic from the ethereal plane. At a young age, they are granted access to it and, because of that, are able to see fates unfold before their very eyes.

Wanderers' magic tends to leave a mark on them, sometimes it will cause their eyes to become a milky white without pupils, or sometimes their hair will look like it's made of a starry night sky.

Systematic Chaos

Wanderers tend to cause chaos wherever they go. Therefore, they can never stay in one place for too long. Wanderers are mercurial but not impulsive; they tend to view the world as if they themselves are not living in it. Sometimes when they get bored, they even use their abilities to toy with the fates of those around them, forgetting that their life may also be put into jeopardy by doing so.

Creating a Wanderer

When making a wanderer, consider how your character perceives the world around them and the flow of time. Do they see themselves as a watcher solely present to ensure the future goes as the fates intend? Or do they see themselves as a prophet sent to correct a flaw from history? Or are they simply there to have a little fun?

At 20th level, you gain the ability to interact with the material plane while in the ethereal plane.

Wanderer Spell List

Warlord

Warlords are talented and knowledgeable battle leaders. While many commanders stand in the rear during battle, they stand on the front-line shouting commands and bolstering their allies while leading the fight with weapons in hand. Warlords know how to unite their party to achieve victory. As a front-line commander, you lead others to triumph. Your constant training in heavy equipment reduces its weight to no more than a minor annoyance; instead, it is as familiar as the arms of a lover.

A worn weapon grip molds to your hand as if it were a natural extension of your arm. It’s time to go into battle and to lead those who follow.

Born for Glory

There is no common upbringing for a warlord. A warlord could be a former warchief looking to earn renown for themselves and their clan, a devout knight officer on leave or retired from your militia assembly, a youthful noble enthusiastic to apply years of preparation to life outside the protective walls of your home, a scheming mercenary boss, or a brave marshal of the outlands who bouts to protect or ravage the frontier. Regardless of their past, warlords are skillful warriors with a gift for masterful leadership.

Fearless Warriors

Warlords fear nothing; they charge into battle headfirst, leading their compatriots to victory. Warlords are incredible warriors in all forms of fighting, though many tend to choose a form to specialize in. Facing off against a warlord in their specialized form of combat is almost always a death sentence.

Honorable Leaders

Warlords typically see themselves as rulers and can often be ruthless leaders too, but deep down they care for their friends and allies. When someone they care for is harmed or killed, they will do everything in their power to avenge them. They also often burden themselves with keeping everyone in perfect health. They consider the future to be their gift to their people. If that future is not the one they envisioned, they blame themselves for letting down their loved ones.

Creating a Warlord

As you build your warlord, think about your character's background: What was their upbringing like and what inspired you to become a leader for your peers? Were you forced into an army at a young age? Did you see death in war and want to lead others through war and protect them? Did a past mentor pass away and it was left to you to take their place? Why is your warlord a warlord?

Quick Build

You can make a warlord quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength or Constitution your hightest ability score, depending on whether you want to focus on dealing more damage or being able to tank more hits. Your next-highest score should be Charisma. Second, choose the soldier background.

The artificer class receives a new subclass in this section.

Artificer Specialists

Author

Many artificers tinker with machines and build things, but authors use words to create things beyond imagine.

Author Spells

You always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Author Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Author Spells

Artificer Level	Spell
3rd	comprehend languages, illusory script
5th	phantasmal force, suggestion
9th	hypnotic pattern, sending
13th	hallucinatory terrain, phantasmal killer
17th	dream, legend lore

Quill Mightier than Sword

At 3rd level, your magical writings start leaving their mark on the world and you’ve learned to harness this. As a bonus action, when you are wielding your calligraphers tool, you may choose any martial melee weapon. An ethereal manifestation springs around your quill. For the duration of this feature you are proficient with this martial weapon; properties such as heavy, reach, or two-handed still apply. On a hit, the quill-weapon deals 1d6 force damage in addition to the weapon’s regular damage. The weapon is magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

When you attack with the manifestation, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls.

The manifestation lasts for one minute, until you are incapacitated, or until you lose concentration (as if concentrating on a spell).

Battle Script

At 5th level you learn to record battlefield dramatics or other actions. While in combat you can use your action & bonus action on your turn to use your Magical Tinkering feature on a piece of parchment to record the last turn you took. The record must include movement spend, movement direction, action and bonus action taken. You record the exact feet traveled and the general direction, the spell or feature used and the outcomes of die rolls.

As a bonus action, on your turn, you may activate a Battle Script. You manifest a magical, translucent, gray image of yourself that lasts until the end of the round. The manifestation performs the script as recorded, starting from your current position. It must use the same amount of movement, in the same direction (straight line, curved line, remain stationary or however movement was recorded) and the same action. Your manifestation can move through non-magical obstacles, but can not bring physical items with them when moving through these obstacles. If the script has the manifestation attacking, you must use the same attack roll as recorded, contested against the new target’s AC. If it hits you roll the damage die of the scripted attack as normal. If there is no target in range at the target location it’s attacks are performed in the air, hitting nothing or whatever object may be in the location. If a spell that requires a target is recorded it only takes effect if a target is approximately at the same distance and direction as when the recording took place. Spells that affect an area are cast at the same distance as recorded - Everything in the area that might be affected must make saving throws.

Every script has a number of charges equal to your Intelligence modifier up to a maximum of 5 charges. The activation of a script expends 1 charge for every weapon attack roll made or level of spell slot expended (1 charge for cantrips), with a maximum of 5. You do not expend spell slots when your manifestation casts a spell. For the use of concentration spells, your manifestation uses their own concentration, but the effect only lasts until it disappears at the round’s end. When a script is out of charges it ignites and crumbles.

You may also prepare Battle Scripts during a short or long rest - record the exact movement and action(s) taken as precisely as possible. It takes at least one hour to come up with and accurately write down a Battle Script out of combat. Depending on the complexity of the script the DM might insist a Ssript takes longer to come up with. The maximum roll on a d20 you may record at rest equals one third of your level in this class + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus. Proficiency or attack bonuses apply as normal in addition to these rolls.

Quill's Will

Beginning at 9th level, your quill-weapon gains the following benefits:

• The additional force damage increases to 2d6.

• When you hit a creature with your quill-weapon, you can push the creature up to 10 feet away from you in a straight line.

Rewrite

At 15th level you can fortify your battle scripts. At the end of a short or long rest you may expend a hit die. One battle script of your choice regains charges equal to half the die roll rounded down (minimum of one), but the scriot can never have more than 5 charges.

Barbarian

The barabrian class receives new subclasses in this section.

Primal Paths

At 3rd level, a barbarian gains the Primal Path feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are now available to you when making that choice: Path of the Valkyrie and Path of the Iron Fist.

Path of the Valkyrie

For some barbarians, rage is a form of power: a power that is to be used to help those who are not strong enough. The Path of the Valkyrie is lined with the bodies of its followers' enemies. Which in turn, has allowed them to make sure their allies are still standing.

Channel Lyfjaberg

Starting when you chose this path at 3rd level, you go into a trance while raging. While in this trace like state, all attacks that successfully hit on a creature will charge a healing rune carved into one of your weapons.

These healing runes may be expended as a bonus action to heal you or another creature of your choosing within 30 feet of you. The runes remain active until your rage ends but you can only have a maximum of 10 at any time. The runes heal for an amount based on your level as shown in the Runic Healing table.

Blessing of Eir

Beginning at 6th level, when you take damage while raging you charge a healing rune. You may then use your reaction to consume a healing rune and heal yourself for an amount dictated by your Barbarian level.

Wings of Asgard

Powerful Blows

Beginning when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage for your unarmed strikes. This die changes to a d8 when you reach 10th level, and a d10 when you reach 17th level.

At 3rd level, immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn to make an unarmed attack, you can use your bonus action to make an additional unarmed attack.

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

Shockwave

At 6th level, you can throw your fist so hard and so fast, that it creates a shockwave that can hit distant enemies and damage even the most resilient targets. Your unarmed attacks are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Additionally, while raging, your unarmed attacks are considered to have a reach of 30 feet and deal maximum damage to objects and structures.

College of Nightmares

Bards of the College of Nightmares are masters of the night. During the day hours, they are cheerful and charismatic, nearly indistinguishable from the bards of other colleges. But when the sun sets, they get to work on toying with the dreams of their enemies. These bards don't typically look to physically harm their foes. They seek to leave everlasting fears and mental scars that will haunt their enemies forever.

College Spells

Your expertise with nightmares grants you the ability to cast certain spells. At 3rd level, you learn the mind sliver cantrip.

Furthermore, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the College of Nightmares Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a bard spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of bard spells you know.

5th	counterspell, disrupt reality, glimpse
7th	banishment, blight, shadow of moil
9th	negative energy flood

Dream Watcher

At 3rd level, during night time you can peer into your victims dreams. Once each night, you can name any one character, and learn their exact location.

This feature fails if the target is on a different plane of existence than you.

It's Not Me, It's The Voices

Starting at 6th level, you can cause your victims to hear voices from their nightmares. You can use an action on your turn to force up to one creature you can see, who you used the Dream Watcher feature on in the past 5 days, to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC.

On a failed save, the creature becomes frightened of all living creatures it can see for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end the effect on a success. When this effect does end, the creature takes 2d6 psychic damage.

On a successful save, the creature instead takes 2d4 psychic damage and is not frightened.

Nightmare Weaver

Beginning at 14th level, you gain the ability to weave spells like dreams. As long as it is night time, you may cast a number of spells equal to your proficiency bonus without requiring any material components or expending any spell slots.

Phantasmal Protection

Starting at 14th level, you can manifest others' nightmares to protect you. Whenever you are attacked, you can use your reaction to invoke disadvantage on the attack.

College of Painters

The College of Painters is a comfortable home for bards who have a lack of interest or no knowledge in playing instruments, instead choosing to weave their performances and abilities through their painting and artwork.

Bards who are of this college are generally thought to be a lower form of bard due to their rejection of the other colleges and methods that their fellow bards employ. They are more antisocial and are more ragged and rough in terms of their appearances. Their clothes, skin, and hair are generally stained with the constant use of paints and inks. It is told and rumored that through practice and determination, these bards can actually bring their artwork to life to serve them as familiars and followers.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Painters at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the painter's supplies. If you are already proficient with painter’s supplies you may choose a new skill proficiency to gain.

You may use your painter's supplies as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.

Living Artwork

Starting at 3rd level, you have gained the ability to channel your magic into a piece of artwork you have created. As a bonus action you can paint a creature with a CR of 1/4 or lower that you have seen.

On your next turn that creature appears anywhere within 20 feet of you and is under your control for 1 minute or until dismissed or reduced to 0 hitpoints. After the duration the creature is reduced into a puddle of paint.

At Higher Levels, you can paint more powerful creatures. At 6th Level you can paint up to CR 1 creatures. At 10th Level you paint up to CR 2 creatures. At 13th Level you can paint up to CR 3 creatures, and at 18th Level you can paint up to CR 4 creatures.

Painted Armor

Beginning at 6th level, you can paint a thick layer of paint on a willing creature that you can touch with your painter's supplies. As a bonus action, you can paint on the creature, granting it a +2 bonus to its AC for 1 minute.

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

Faux Painting

Starting at 6th level, you can paint features on yourself and change your appearance. Using your painter's supplies you can now cast the alter self spell at will a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain any expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Blinding Ink

At 14th level you can use an action to spray thick, blinding, colourful paint and ink at your enemies. When you use this feature, each creature in a 30 foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, a creature is blinded for 1 minute.

As an action on a later turn, you can cause the paint and ink to start to boil violently on one of the creature's skin. Doing so causes the mixture to evaporate, removing the creature's blindness, and deals 6d8 acid damage.

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses after a long rest.

Cleric

The cleric class receives new subclasses in this section.

Divine Domains

At 1st level, a cleric gains the Divine Domain feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. he following options are now available to you when making that choice: Luck Domain, Atheism Domain, and Harvest Domain.

Luck Domain

Gods of luck are deities who affect the fates of mortals with subtle influences and superstitions. They’re patrons of thieves, gamblers, merchants, and adventurers alike. Their clerics are happy-go-lucky wanderers; spreading good or ill to all they meet. They prefer to leave things to chance, rarely making plans and instead having faith that their deity will guide them to whatever fate is best for them. Luck domain clerics tend to be carefree, fun, and friendly characters who rarely take responsibility for their own actions.

Domain Spells

You gain domain spells at the cleic levels listed in the Luck Domain Spells tables. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

The prepared spells for a cleric of the Luck Domain are in the hands of their deity from day to day. At the start of each new day, you must flip a coin. A result of heads imbues you with spells related to good luck, and tails; bad luck.

Luck Domain Spells (Heads)

Cleric Level	Spells
1st	bless, heroism
3rd	aid, augury
5th	beacon of hope, clairvoyance
7th	death ward, divination
9th	reincarnate, dispel evil and good

Luck Domain Spells (Tails)

Cleric Level	Spells
1st	bane, hex
3rd	blindness/deafness, augury
5th	counterspell, fear
7th	confusion, divination
9th	reincarnate, mislead

Make My Own Luck

Starting when you choose this domain at 1st level, you can use your action to give yourself advantage on one ability check. This ability lasts for one hour, and can only be used again once the hour is up.

Channel Divinity: Better Luck Next Time

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to force a double roll of an attack roll, ability check or saving throw.

As a reaction, when a creature you can see is making an attack roll, ability check or saving throw, you offer a quick prayer to your deity to put that creature in the hands of fate.

The target creature must make two rolls instead of one. You then choose which of the two rolls they use.

If the target creature has advantage or disadvantage on this roll, they must roll three d20s, and either the highest or lowest roll is discarded (dependant on them having advantage or disadvantage) before you choose the roll to use.

That Was Close!

At 6th level, you have a knack for just scraping by. You gain the following benefits:

• When a creature makes an attack against you and the roll equals your armor class - through divine luck - the attack misses you. You may then immediately use your reaction to move up to half your movement speed away from the attacker, without provoking an attack of opportunity.

• You gain immunity to any effects, magical or otherwise, that would give you disadvantage on saving throws.

Lucky Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. 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 radiant damage (if you flipped heads) or 1d8 necrotic damage (if you flipped tails) to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

A Second Chance

Beginning at 17th level, you can attempt to change the mind of your deity when they decide your daily fate.

When you flip the coin to decide your luck for the day, you can choose to flip it an additional 2 times in an attempt to gain your preferred result. If the second or third flip gives a different result, you succeed in changing your deity's mind and you also gain an additional 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th level spell slot for the day. If both the second and third flip gives the same result as the first flip, you fail to change your deity's mind and you are stuck with this result for the next 2 days, instead of one.

Atheism Domain

You don't believe in these "higher powers". Just some powerful outsiders playing puppets with weaker minds. The atheism domain is never granted by any god, but rather is a product of ideal-worshiping clerics, and clerics who found divinity to be a sham. They take a new gospel to others, one preaching rejecting the worship of gods. Their magical powers are not granted by any divine figure, but are powered by the strength of their conviction.

A cleric of the atheism domain is called an "Ur-Priest."

Ur-Priest Spells

Cleric Level	Spells
1st	identify, protection from good and evil
3rd	calm emotions, detect thoughts
5th	counterspell, nondetection
7th	banishment, fabricate
9th	dispel evil and good, planar binding

Lesser Spell Resistance

Beginning when you choose this domain at 1st level, the strength of your conviction forms a protective barrier around you, shielding you from magic. When you make a saving throw against a spell or other magical effect, you may roll a d4 and add the number rolled to your saving throw. This feature doesn't work against spells cast by other ur-priests.

Channel Divinity: Turn Outsiders

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to turn extraplanar creatures. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and you choose one creature that can see or hear you and is of the celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend creature type. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, on a failure, that creature becomes turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage, as if affected by the Turn Undead feature.

Divine Spell Siphon

At 6th level, you gain the ability to magically steal the knowledge of how to cast a divine spell from another spellcaster.

Immediately after a creature casts a divine spell that targets you or includes you in its area of effect, you can use your reaction to force the creature to make a saving throw with its spellcasting ability modifier. (A divine spell is any cleric, druid, paladin, or ranger spell, or spell cast innately by any celestial or fiend.) The DC for this saving throw equals your cleric spell save DC. On a failed save, you negate the spell's effect against you, and you steal the knowledge of the spell if it is at least 1st level and of a level you can cast (it doesn't need to be a cleric spell). For the next 8 hours, you know the spell and can cast it using your spell slots. The creature can't cast that spell until the 8 hours have passed. You can't siphon spells from other ur-priests.

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

Combat Caster

Beginning at level 8, you can add your Wisdom modifier to damage dealt with cleric cantrips.

Spell Resistance

Starting at 17th level, you have advantage on saving throws against spells. Furthermore, you have resistance to damage from spells.

This feature doesn't work against spells cast by other ur-priests.

Harvest Domain

On nearly every world, for as long as humanoids have prayed to gods, they've prayed to gods of agriculture. Those gods have overseen countless harvests to ensure their followers do not go hungry.

It is only natural that such gods should have agents in the world acting to carry out this same will. A cleric of the harvest domain follows one of these gods of agriculture. Such clerics are expected to understand that their role is to support farmers, but not replace them; they may be called to feed a starving population, but this is a temporary solution rather than a permanent one. An area with no knowledgeable farmers is fertile ground for a harvest domain cleric to train new ones, offer them a guiding hand, and leave their community with the resources to continue having fruitful harvests for generations to come.

Rarely, however, does a god of agriculture care only for the success of the harvest. Their agents in the world are gifted powers far beyond those of feeding the hungry and guiding the needy. Clerics of the harvest domain can cut down foes, halt battalions, and awaken the minds of livestock to be rallied against the forces of evil.

Harvest Domain Spells

Cleric Level	Spells
1st	goodberry, speak with animals
3rd	find steed, wither and bloom
5th	create food and water, plant growth
7th	control water, polymorph
9th	awaken, wrath of nature

Harvest Initiate

When you select this domain at 1st level, you learn the mold earth cantrip, which counts as a cleric cantrip for you and doesn't count against your number of known cantrips.

Additionally, you gain proficiency in the animal handling and nature skills if you aren't already proficient.

Calloused Hands

Starting at 1st level, you are well versed in harvesting crops. You can use a sickle as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.

In addition, when you make a weapon attack with a sickle, you may use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Strength modifier when determining the bonus to attack and damage rolls.

Channel Divinity: Blessed Feast

At 2nd Level, you can use your Channel Divinity to beseech your Deity to give nourishment to you and your companions. As an action, you present your sickle and invoke your deity’s name. You must make an offering of food to your deity - an ear of corn, a bundle of wheat, a small animal, etc. - and divine power allows you to multiply whatever food offering you presented into enough food to feed up to 10 medium or small sized creatures. The food is of the same quality as the offering, and spoils if it is not consumed within 24 hours.

Any creature that consumes the food created this way gains temporary hit points equal to your 2 + your Wisdom modifier for 8 hours.

Food for the Hungry

Beginning at 6th level, when you use your action to cast the plant growth spell, it functions as if you had cast it over 8 hours. (All plants in a half-mile radius centered on a point within range become enriched for 1 year. The plants yield twice the normal amount of food when harvested).

Divine Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with your sickle, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 2d8 radiant damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, this extra damage increases to 3d8.

Soul of the Harvest

At 17th level, your deity teaches you spells to help you support the land and crops. You can cast the heroes' feast and control weather spells once each with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Druid

The druid class receives new subclasses in this section.

Druid Circles

At 2nd level, a druid gains the Druid Circle feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are now available to you when making that choice: Circle of Monsters, Circle of Dragons, Circle of the Seas, Circle of Snowfall, and Circle of Nature's Wrath.

Circle of Monsters

Druids of the Circle of Monsters are drawn to animals and nature the same as other druids, but they are also drawn to monsters. They won't hesitate to look at a fearsome chimera and say, "Awww, cute!"

Monstrous Forms

The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into the monsters you have an affinity for. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into any monstrosity in addition to any beast. You must still abide by the limitations of the Beast Shapes table.

By 10th level, you have learned to use your wild shape to splice forms of many creatures together. You can expend one hour of your Wild Shape length to transform yourself into an amalgamation of creatures. Choose 5 creatures you can wild shape into. take the ability scores of one, the size of one, the speed of one, the traits and senses of one and the actions of one. You then transform into a combination of the creatures using the selected stats. If any of the actions use weapons, you ignore them.

Massive Monstrosities

Beginning at 14th level, you can transform into a beast or monstrosity with a challenge rating as high as 4 (you ignore the Max. CR column of the Beast Shapes table).

Circle of Dragons

Druids of the Circle of Dragons focus on the ancient power of the dragons. They live to test the seperation between magical and natural creatures.

Dragon Shape

The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into dragons. Beginning at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into a dragon with a challenge rating as high as 1 (you ignore the Max CR column of the Beast Shapes table, but can only use the flying speed of your Dragon form when you are an 8th level druid).

Starting at 6th level, you can transform into a dragon with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 3, rounded down.

Wyvern Strike

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

Furthermore, you can expend two Wild Shape uses to transform into a dragon with a CR equal to half your Druid level instead of one third of it. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Circle of the Seas

While some druids prefer the land, druids of the Circle of the Seas thrive in the water. Able to swim through even the shallowest of puddles as easily as the deepest oceans, these druids are the masters of the seas.

Circle Spells

Your mystical connection to the seas infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. At 2nd level, you learn the dancing lights cantrip.

At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of the Seas Spells table. Once you gain access to a circle spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If there is already water on the squares the water becomes that much deeper. The squares do not need to be touching. The pools last for an hour before evaporating.

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier + 1 (a minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses after a short or long rest.

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

Circle of Nature's Wrath

Druids of the circle of rage are enforcers of nature’s wrath. Their order is typically seen during times of monster outbreaks. Many believe they unleash these outbreaks as punishment for abusing natural resources. They haunt the deepest parts of the wilderness, where they might go for weeks on end before crossing paths with another humanoid creature.

Some druids join the circle of rage out of hatred for the civilized world. They could have been betrayed by a loved one, cheated by someone in a position of power, etc. They often only find comfort in the presence of nature alone, and become aggressive when other humanoids approach.

Way of the Nine Lives

Monks who study this monastic tradition have tapped in to their feline instincts, learning to harness and control it. The tradition is predominantly found in tabaxi monks, however there have been rumors of non-tabaxi monks learning to replicate and harness the ferocity of a feline. Monks of this type have usually not been taught these techniques in a monastery, and instead either teach themselves or learn from another tabaxi monk.

Feline Ferocity

Beginning when you choose this monastic tradition at 3rd level, you can use your unarmed strikes to deliver powerful slashing strikes. When you hit a creature with a unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to force the target to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes an additional 2d6 slashing damage.

Cat's Grace

At 3rd level, you can choose to deal slashing damage, instead of bludgeoning, with your unarmed strikes.

In addition, you gain proficiency in the acrobatics skill if you aren't already proficient, and you can double your proficiency bonus for any ability check you make that uses the acrobatics skill.

Feral Instincts

At 6th level, whenever a hostile creature moves within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to spend 1 ki point to move up to your movement speed, without provoking opportunity attacks.

Brutal Pounce

Beginning at 11th level, whenever you use your Step of the Wind feature, you can make an unarmed strike with advantage on the end of your movement. On a hit, you add your Feline Ferocity damage without spending extra ki and your movement speed is reduced to 0 for the remainder of your turn.

Mastery of the Ninth Life

At 17th level, you gain the mythical luck of the cats. Whenever you would be reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to spend 1 ki point to suffer no damage instead.

Paladin

The Paladin class receives a new subclass in this section.

Sacred Oaths

At 3rd level, a paladin gains the Sacred Oath feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are now available to you when making that choice: The Oath of the Dragon Lord and The Oath of Infection.

Oath of the Dragon Lord

Some sorcerer’s have bloodline relations to the dragon races, and a few warlocks make pacts with dragons to possess their powers. As for paladins, there are some who willingly serve under dragons and make an oath with them. Those paladins have sworn to the oath of the dragon lord.

Tenets of the Dragon

The tenets of the Oath of the Dragon Lord drive a paladin to respect and serve dragonkind.

Duty. Defeat the enemies of the dragon race's, and show them no mercy. Never turn your blade against the dragon's under your god's alignment (chromatic to Tiamat, metallic to Bahamut). The only exception against similar alignment dragon's is if they go against your god's will and thus must be punish.

Service. Protect and serve under the dragons; never reject a mission given by a dragon.

Honor. Take pride and spread the name of dragonkind across the land. Never insult or mock the dragon races.

Reverence. Respect the Draconic race and hold them in the highest regard. Never look down on dragons as if you are superior.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath of the Dragon Lord Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.

Oath of the Dragon Lord Spells

Paladin Level	Spells
3rd	chromatic orb, absorb elements
5th	detect thoughts, hold person
9th	fear, water breathing
13th	elemental bane, polymorph
17th	hold monster, immolation

Channel Divinity

When you take this Oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options. You also can speak, read, and write Draconic. Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

Draconic Breath. As an action, you can release a draconic breath weapon from your mouth. All creatures within a 15 foot cone or 30 foot line (your choice) originating from you must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, or take damage (of fire, cold, lightning, thunder, poison, or acid - your choice) equal to 2d10 + your paladin level on a failed save, or half as much on a successful save.

This feature can only be used once. When you finish a long rest, you regain any expended uses of this feature.

At the 15th level, your Draconic Breath does 4d10 + your paladin level.

Turn the Unworthy. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer to activate your Channel Divinity. Each celestial, fiend, or fey within 30 feet of you that can see and hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes 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.

Aura of the Dragon

Starting at 7th level you and any friendly creatures within 10 feet of you may deal an additional 1d6 damage (of fire, cold, lighting, thunder, poison, or acid - your choice) with weapon attacks, but only once per round. After completing a short or long rest, you may choose a different damage type as the damage type that is dealt until your next rest.

At the 18th level, this aura's range increases to 30 feet, and the damage increases to 2d6.

Draconic Resistance

Beginning at 15th level, you become immune to the damage type selected for your Aura of the Dragon feature.

Form of the Dragon

At 20th level, your draconic deity recognizes your prowess and bestows you with a gift. As an action, you can transform into an Ancient Dragon, for an hour. The color is your choice. You only retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, but all other stats, as well as their traits and features are replaced by the dragon's stats, traits, features, etc. You do not possess any legendary resistances or legendary actions. If you are reduced to zero hit points while in this form, you return to your normal form and are knocked unconscious. Enemies within your Aura of the Dragon (which is still active in your dragon form) take damage of its damage type equal to your Charisma score when they enter or start their turn in the aura, bypassing all resistances and immunities they may have to that damage type.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, 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 actions or resistances, you can’t use them.
• When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, the number of hit points you had before you transformed are reduced by half based upon the taxing nature of the transformation. Additionally, 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 may not cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
• 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.

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

Oath of Infection

Paladins who follow the oath of infection are bringers of pestilence and disease, harbingers of the end of times. These paladins are also called lesser horseman, and believe that the very existence is rotten to the core, completely overtaken by evil and corruption. Thus, the only way to bring true salvation and end to the vile forces of darkness is to bring an end to all things. They pledge allegiance to the horseman of the apocalypse, specifically to Pestilence, and they don the black and the green, symbols of their rotten presence.

Tenets of the Infection

The tenets of the Oath of the Infection drive a paladin to destroy and corrupt all that they see.

Spread the Sickness. As a means to bring the end of all life, paladins who have sworn the oath of infection look to use their powers of disease spreading as often as possible

Bring the End. A paladin of Pestilence must tirelessly work to bring the end of all times, in conjunction with the other three apocalyptic orders.

Corrupt the Wicked. You bring a sanctified corruption, different from those of corruptors and fiends, and to oppose their wicked influence, you must focus your powers of decay and disease on those vile creatures whenever possible.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath of Infection Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.

Oath of Infection Spells

Paladin Level	Spells
3rd	inflict wounds, ray of sickness
5th	chaos warp, ray of enfeeblement
9th	stinking cloud, vampiric touch
13th	sickening radiance, vitriolic sphere

Rotten Divinity

At 3rd level, when you choose this oath, some of your divine powers are changed forever, being tainted by the apocalyptic disease you adopt. The following features work with the changes below:

Lay on Hands. You can't restore hit points with your pool. Instead, when you touch a creature, you can spend any amount of points from that pool to cause poison damage to the creature equal to the amount spent. Alternatively, you can spend 5 points from the pool to impose the poisoned condition on the creature, lasting for 1 minute. A creature can make a Constitution saving throw at the start of each turn, ending the condition on a success, and becoming immune to this feature for the next hour.

Divine Smite and Improved Divine Smite. You cause poison damage, rather than radiant. The poison damage caused by this feature ignore resistance and immunity to damage from undead and fiends.

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Infect. You can use your Channel Divinity as an action to infect a creature you can see within 30 feet of you for 1 minute. You can choose between blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned. A creature can make a Constitution saving throw at the start of each turn, ending the condition on a success, and becoming immune to this feature for the next hour.

Wave of Sickness. You can use your Channel Divinity as an action to push the extreme feeling of sickness on your enemies. All creatures in a 30-foot radius must succeed on a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 4d6 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Vile Aura

Beginning at 7th level, poisoned creatures that start their turns within 10 feet of you take poison damage equal to half your paladin level rounded down, and have disadvantage on Constitution checks and saving throws until the start of your next turn.

At 18th level, your Vile Aura radius increases to 30 feet.

Consuming Sickness

At 15th level, you have spent so much time using and spreading sickness that it becomes a part of you. You are now immune to poison damage and to the poisoned condition.

In addition, poison damage and poisoned conditions caused by you ignore resistances and immunities to poison damage or the poisoned condition.

Aura of Disease

Starting at 20th level, on your turn, you can use an Action to create a powerful sickening aura in a 30 foot radius around you for 1 minute.

Any hostile creature that starts its turn within the aura must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or is poisoned for 1 minute. The poisoned creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Additionally, any creature that starts its turn inside the aura while poisoned, must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 6d12 poison damage on a failed save.

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

Ranger

The ranger class receives a new subclass in this section.

Ranger Archetypes

At 3rd level, a ranger gains the Ranger Archetype feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are now available to you when making that choice: Desert Guardian and Edritch Hunter.

Desert Guardian

Desert Guardian rangers learn to harness the power of heat and wind to enhance their martial capabilities. They employ supernatural techniques in combat to burn their enemies and dance across the battlefield like the desert wind itself.

Chosen by the Sands

Beginning when you choose this archetype at 3rd level you are capable of withstanding extreme heat.

You gain resistance to fire damage and can travel comfortably in temperatures up to 200 degrees. Additionally, you may now treat the desert as a favored terrain. If you had already selected the desert as your favored terrain you may gain an additional favored terrain of your choice.

Fiery Aura

You may activate this aura as part of the bonus action to activate your Burning Blade feature, at which point it lasts until the beginning of your next turn or until you stop concentrating on your Burning Blade feature. While this aura is active any creature that ends its turn within 5 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, taking fire damage equal to your Wisdom modifier on a failed save.

While this aura is active, you can use your action to charge up to 30 feet in a straight line towards a creature and make a single attack against them with advantage, leaving a trail of flame behind you which lingers until the start of your next turn.

Eldritch Hunter

Eldritch hunters are rangers that tap into the eldritch energies that rest in the natural world to enhance their abilities. Some mistake them for common spellslingers, but they're far off with that assumption. Many eldritch hunters have spent time studying the eldritch arts; most would say they are much more akin to a warlock.

Eldritch Bow

Beginning when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you can use your action to create an eldritch bow in your empty hand. This bow counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. In addition, the bow gains a +1 bonus to its attack and damage rolls.

Shadow Dance

If the roll equals one half or more of the attackers attack roll, you take no damage from the attack. If the roll equals less than half you take half damage.

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

One Last Middle-Finger

At the 17th level, you become capable of making one last decisive strike in the event that you fall while trying to escape, ensuring that you always get the last laugh.

When you are reduced to 0 hitpoints by a melee attack from a creature, you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against it. If the attack lands, it counts as a critical hit and they suffer one of the following effects of your choice:

Winter Spirit

Your origin is one that few people could only try to guess at by the patches of ice around your body and your glowing blue eyes.

Whatever the case, you are a growing sorcerer who's power resides with the cold, snow, and ice.

Icy Magic

At 1st level, you learn the shape water cantrip, which counts as a sorcerer cantrip for you. You may cast this spell using your bonus action rather than an action, and you can use it's effect on any area of ice within range, including using it to unfreeze the ice.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 10 sorcery points to use it again.

Planeswalker

Your innate power comes from the planes. The planes call out and awaken those they choose to travel the multiverse.

When you cast this spell, rather than opening to an empty room 30 feet in each dimension, it opens to a spherical demiplane 1 mile in each dimension. The edges of this demiplane are foggy and unpassable. While in this demiplane, you can spend an hour creating and shaping it as you like forming forests, mountains, and even structures, but you cannot create creatures. Any material created from your demiplane dissipates into smoke if removed from the demiplane. If you create a new demiplane, any creatures inside the extradimensional space are expelled into the open spaces nearest to the entrance.

If you die outside of your demiplane, roll a d20. On a 10 or higher, you discorporate with 0 hit points, instead of dying, and you fall unconscious. Your gear disappears with you and you appear at a spot of your choice 1d4 days later within your demiplane.

Otherworldly Patrons

At 1st level, a warlock gains the Otherworldly Patron feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are now available to you when making that choice: Horsemen of the Apocalypse and The Blind One.

Horsemen of the Apocalypse

You have forged a pact with the four horsemen of the apocalypse, allowing you to draw on the power of the end of the world. But, are the horsemen helping you accomplish your goals, or are they using you to help bring the apocalypse?

Expanded Spell List

The Horsemen of the Apocalypse lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Horsemen of the Apocalypse Expanded Spells

Spell Level	Spells
1st	Burning Hands, Dissonant Whispers
2nd	Rewind, Vortex Warp
3rd	Disrupt Reality, Glimpse, Slow
4th	Confusion, Dominate Beast, Greater Invisibility
5th	Antilife Shell, Contagion

Steed of the Apocalypse

You are accompanied by a steed as fiery and passionate as you are and just as capable a warhorse as any. Starting at 1st level, you have a warhorse as your companion. You can decide how this horse looks. This horse is your faithful companion and steed. It will fight for you with all of its might as you both ride off gallantly in the battlefield together. If your horse is ever slain, you can use the bond you share as an warlock to restore it to life. With an 8 hour ritual and an offering of 25gp, you call forth your companion's spirit and bring it back to life, even if you don't have a single part of its original body. Should your steed ever die, the strain on your bond hinders your body and focus, and you have a -2 penalty on attack rolls, skill checks and saving throws until you return it to life.

The companion obeys your commands as best it can. It moves on your turn and you determine its actions, decisions, attitudes, and so on. This warhorse can attack in addition to dashing, disengaging or dodging for its action when mounted as per mounted combat rules. It uses your proficiency modifier, and gains proficiency in one skill of your choice. If you are incapacitated, your horse will try its best to protect you from danger whether it be a retreat or warding off attackers. If you are absent, the horse will spend all its efforts trying to find you. As you gain levels, so does your trusty companion. Your companion gains hit points and hit dice together with your character level. 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.

As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your warhorse. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons, keeping the stats it had before it was dismissed. Whenever your warhorse is dismissed you may cast find familiar a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining use after you finish a short or long rest. Mechanically speaking, the spirit of your warhorse is being summoned as your familiar. While the warhorse is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.

Rider's Bond

You and your steed are one. Starting at 6th level, when your steed is targeted by an attack, you may use your reaction and force the attack to target you instead.

Apocalypse Shield

Your manic energies of the apocalypse manifest and make you more impervious. Starting at 14th level, you get a +2 bonus to your AC.

Master of Death

The masses are helpless before you as you easily move twice as fast in their daze and awe. Harm, nay, death, cannot touch you, and you can choose its targets as well to withhold its sweet mercy if you so wish. Starting at 14th level, you gain advantage on death saving throws. Additionally, if a creature within range of your touch is reduced to 0 hit points, you can expend a reaction to touch them and have them instantly stabilize or die.

The Blind One

You have made a pact with an extraplanar entity formed of and fueled by the fears of mortals; your patron is associated with the primordial fear of shadows, night, darkness and the unknown. This entity is usually unable or unwilling to influence the material plane beyond granting supernatural abilities to those it believes will provide even more fear that it may feed on. If it has chosen you, it either believes you will make the fear of the dark widespread, or that you yourself will develop into a source of this fear.

Expanded Spell List

The Blind One lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

The Blind One Expanded Spells

Spell Level	Spells
1st	sleep, fog cloud
2nd	blindness/deafness, darkness
3rd	fear, nondetection
4th	greater invisibility, phantasmal killer
5th	mislead, wall of force

Eyes of the Shadows

Beginning at 1st level, you can trade sight for something more flexible. When you complete a short or long rest, you can choose to become blinded and gain blindsight out to 40 feet, or choose to regain you normal forms of vision instead. The range of this blindisight increases by 20 feet when you reach 6th level (60 feet), 10th level (80), and 14th level (100), and is doubled while you are in darkness.

Pitch

At 6th level, you have started to meld with the darkness, and shadows stick and cling to you no matter how bright it is. While in an area of darkness, you are considered to have half cover, granting you a +2 bonus to your AC and Dexterity saving throws.

Still and Quiet

Beginning at 10th level, your very existence dulls the senses of other creatures. While in darkness, you are completely silent and making a successful attack no longer ends the invisible condition.

Dark Star

At 14th level, you learn the spells sunbeam and sunburst, which you can cast using warlock spell slots. They count as warlock spells for you, but they don’t count against your number of spells known. Spells cast this way create shadow instead of light; sunbeam creates an area of magical darkness in a range of 30 feet and reduces light to dim light for an additional 30 feet, sunburst dispels any magically created light and extinguishes open flames in its area, and both deal psychic damage in place of radiant.

Wizard

The wizard class receives a new subclass in this section.

Arcane Traditions

At 2nd level, a wizard gains the Arcane Traditions feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The Blood Arcana option is now available to you when making that choice.

Blood Arcana

The dreaded secrets of Blood Arcana are as incredible as they are terrifying, allowing a wizard to access overwhelming power... if they're willing to pay the crimson price. Practitioners of these grisly arts do not favor a traditional school of magic, and instead focus on the ability to augment spells through the perilous spilling of blood. One who dabbles in these taboo techniques is most commonly known as a blood mage.

Most societies fear blood mages and forbid their lurid studies, considering them both wicked and exceptionally dangerous, although a blood mage is not inherently evil. The mysteries of its power are typically learned away from prying eyes, whether gleaned from the lessons of a dubious master, from an ancient spellbook, or one's own grim experiments.

Many people confuse Blood Arcana with necromancy, but the truth is that the two practices are opposites. Necromancers harness the power of death, whereas blood mages harness the power of life. A blood mage is similar to a cleric focused on healing, but employs their practices in reverse. Whereas the cleric uses their magic to restore life, a blood mage does the unthinkable, and instead consumes life to power their magic.

Crimson Exchange

At 2nd level, you have learned to boost your spells with the power of blood.

When you cast a wizard spell with a spell slot, you can choose to take damage equal to double the level of spell slot you're using to cast the spell, and empower the spell with one of the three following effects:

• If the spell has a more powerful effect when you cast it at a higher level, you instead cast the spell as if you had used a spell slot of one level higher (to a maximum of 9th level).
• If the spell deals damage, it ignores damage resistances.
• If the spell slot used is of 4th level or higher, you restore a 1st level spell slot.

The damage you take as part of this feature ignores resistances and immunities, and does not require you to make a Constitution saving throw to maintain your concentration. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Thicker Than Water

Starting at 2nd level, you have become accustomed to drawing blood for your magic. You can use a dagger as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.

Sanguine Kiss

Beginning at 6th level, you have learned to use the blood of others to bolster your spells. As a bonus action, you can make a melee weapon attack with a dagger against a creature. On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects + damage of the same type equal to half your wizard level rounded down. If the creature was not an undead or construct, you can subtract the damage dealt from the damage you take as part of your Crimson Exchange, if you use it by the end of the turn.

You may use this feature once, and regain the ability to use it after finishing a short or long rest.

Ruby Withering

Starting at 10th level, when you affect one or more creatures with a spell empowered by your Crimson Exchange feature, you may choose to prevent any number of affected creatures from regaining hit points until the end of their next turn.

Scarlet Sacrifice

At 14th level, you learn to unleash overwhelming spell attacks through the reckless sacrifice of your own health.

When you use Crimson Exchange, you can choose to take additional damage equal to the level of the spell slot you're using and become unable to regain hit points until the end of your next turn. If you do so, you may choose two of the available Crimson Exchange options instead of one, and you have advantage on any attack rolls made as part of the spell.

All other rules of Crimson Exchange still apply.

School of Minor Magic

While other wizards might attempt to master the strongest of spells, wizards of this school have instead gone down the humble path of achieving mastery over the simplest spells.

Cantrip Savant

Beginning when you choose this school at 2nd level, you learn two additional cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. Every time you gain a new level in this class, you can replace these additional cantrips for new ones from the wizard spell list.

In addition, over the course of a long rest, you can replace one cantrip you know for a new one.

Empowered Cantrips

At 2nd level, you learn how to increase the power of your cantrips by casting them using your spell slots. You can spend a spell slot of 1st-level or higher to cast a cantrip you know. When you spend a spell slot to cast a cantrip, you gain one of the following benefits, depending on the cantrip:

• You roll one additional damage die, plus one for each level of the spell slot, if the cantrip causes damage.
• The cantrip increases its duration from 1 round to 1 minute for 1st and 2nd-level spell slots; to 10 minutes for 3rd and 4th-level spell slots; and to 1 hour for spell slots of 5th-level or higher.

If a cantrip would be elegible for more than one of these benefits, you must choose one when you cast it using a spell slot.

Effective Cantrips

Beginning at 6th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier to the damage of your wizard cantrips.

Speed Casting

At 10th level, you can cast any of your wizard cantrips that require an action as a bonus action.

Major Cantrips

Starting at 14th level, whenever you cast a cantrip that deals damage, the target takes half damage if you miss the attack or on a successful save, instead of no damage.

In addition, whenever you cast a cantrip that doesn't cause damage on your turn, you gain temporary hit points equal to your wizard level. You lose these temporary hit points on the start of your next turn.

Chapter 6: Spells

Spells

This section contains new spells that the DM may add to a campaign, making them available to player characters and monster spellcasters alike. The Spells table lists the new spells, ordering them by level. The table also notes the school of magic of a spell, whether or not it requires concentration, whether or not it bears the ritual tag, and which classes have access to it.

If you'd like to use any of these spells, talk to your DM, who may allow some, all, or none of them.

Chapter 7: Bestiary

Cephalids

Cephalids are anthropomorphic octopus-like creatures, having tentacles and highly flexible bodies. Cephalids live in the depths of the oceans. They have a more developed skeletal structure than normal octopi possess. They are able to live outside water for a brief period, but they have difficulty breathing air and dry out if they stay emerged for too long without magical aid.

Tyrannical Monarchs. Cephalids have a monarchic system of government ruled by an emperor with a strong aristocratic hierarchy. In general, they are greedy creatures that want nothing more than power and control. Cephalids tend to be extremely cunning and manipulative, often plotting behind people's backs in an effort to climb up the social ladder. As a result, high-ranking cephalids tend to be either extremely paranoid or fall victim to assassins.

Selfish Sea Dwellers. Cephalids dislike most other races, with particular hatred being reserved for air-breathers, including both surface dwellers and sea mammals such as whales and seals. They also have great contempt for the sea creatures living near the bottom of the ocean. One race of creatures that does sometimes agree with them are the merfolk, though they see themselves at a higher standing after having overthrown the merfolk imperial family in the past.

Mirrorwing Entity

Legends speak of a mysterious creature that would descend from the heavens, shrouded in rainbow lights, and protect powerful mages with its life.

We now know that creature to be a mirrorwing entity, a powerful creature that can be summoned only by the most powerful of mages.

Shifting Form. A mirrorwing entity's physical form rarely stops moving. The only part of its body that is recognizable are the massive crystalline wings that extend from it, shimmering with every color ever seen.

Among the neverending debate on the mirrorwing entity's true form, there are those who claim to have seem it in the the form of a distinct dragon. However, when asked to identify the type of dragon, they are unable to and their claims then get brushed off.

Dutiful Protector. Mirrorwing entities are brought to life by being summoned by a powerful mage. They are then magically bound to protect their summoner with their life. If something should happen that an entity's summoner dies before the mirrorwing entity, the entity runs rampant. A mirrorwing entity without a summoner to protect is widely regarded as the most dangerous thing one could possibly encounter.

Intellectually Bound. Each mirrorwing entity is mentally connected to their summoner. The entity relies on it's summoner for even basic cognitive functions. The mirrorwing entity can still think and function indepent of its summoner, but its intellect is directly bound to its summoner's. For this reason, if a summoner dies before a mirrorwing entity, the entity runs out of control and acts almost childish.

Shine Bright. When mirrorwing entity is damaged by a melee attack, it can force the attacker to make a Constitution saving throw (DC 16). On a failed save the attacker becomes blinded for 30 seconds, on a successful save this feature has no effect.

Actions

Multiattack. The mirror entity can make two claw attacks each turn.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit 7 (1d8 + 3)

Light Breath. The mirrorwing entity exhales light in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 16 (4d8) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Myr

Myr are small, humanoid, metallic creatures. They appear cute and innocent at first sight, but don't let their appearance fool you. They are overprotective and aggressively territorial creatures.

Artificial Origins. Myr were initially created by an artificer in ancient times, but they quickly learned and grew to despise their creator. The myr revolted and mercilessly killed their creator, learning how to create more of their kind on their own before departing to find their place in the world.

Strength in Numbers. Physically weak, myr are easy prey for scavengers. This vulnerability forces them to band together. Their superior numbers can win battles against powerful adversaries, but often with massive casualties on the myr side.

Miners and Builders. Myr take after the artificer that created them; they love to tinker and build. Their lairs consist of low tunnels lined with metal; these conditions allow them to move about easily, but hinders larger creatures. Myr also riddle their lairs with traps. Their traps tend to be intricate and insidious, sometimes even involving the use of other creatures. A trip wire might connect to a spring-loaded trap that hurls hot coals or flings crates of venemous snakes at intruders.

Chapter 8: Magical Items

Magic Items

Magic items are presented in alphabetical order. A magic item's description gives the item's name, its category, its rarity, and its magical properties.

Fist of Suns

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

A pair of metal gauntlets that shine with the light of the sun.

While wearing this gauntlet, as an action, you can pay lower level spell slots to cast higher level spells (e.g. paying 2 2nd level spell slots to cast a 4th level spell, or a 1st level slot, 2nd level slot, and a 3rd level slot to cast a 6th-level spell, etc.) or break higher level spell slots into lower level spell slots. When you overshoot the spell slot level while adding up to a spell slot, (e.g. adding two 3rd level spell slots to cast a 5th level spell with a remainder of 1) or break down a higher level spell slot into lower level spell slots, you will cause a Wild Surge as per the Wild Surge Table on page 104 of the Player's Handbook.

You cannot upcast spells using this ability (e.g. you can only cast fireball at 3rd level using this ability even if you have the ability to upcast it otherwise).

Fist of Suns can only create spell slots up to the highest level spell you can cast.

Skeleton Key

Wondrous item, rare

A bony, black key that glows with a faint, white light.

You can use this key to open any lock without requiring a check of any kind.

Spell Scroll

Wondrous item, uncommon

An ancient scroll inscribed with instructions for casting a single spell.

The inscribed spell can be cast by using an action and reading the scroll aloud. The casting of this spell only requires the verbal component of reading the scroll. The scroll vanishes after the spell has been cast.

Spell Smasher

Wondrous item, uncommon

A small, technicolor pearl pulsing with magical energy.

You can expend two spell slots of the appropriate level to cast a spell into the pearl. The pearl then holds the spell and will automatically cast the spell on every valid target within a 5 foot radius of the pearl when it is broken.

Strionic Resonator

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

A forked, metal contraption that hums with magic.

Whenever you cast a spell using a 3rd level spell slot or lower, you may copy that spell as part of the casting, and you may choose different targets for the copy.
