Everything is Important!
Please read this document in its entirety (but not in one sitting) There are a lot of nuanced rules, special notes, and sidebars for clarity that can perhaps be easily missed if you skim this brew.
JoesToes' Guide to the Arena
Playing 5th edition D&D in a player versus player format has taken lots of minor tweaks and changes to make enjoyable for everyone involved.
I appreciate that there is lots of stuff to read up on. But please read carefully! If you just skim it, chances are you will miss important details!
How It works
We play D&D5e as a series of interconnected come-when-you-can sessions: you are welcome to show up to the games you can make and skip the ones you can't with no repercussions, gaining levels as you go
Please learn the basics first. Before doing anything else, you should make a moderate effort on your own to get a grasp on the basics of how combat works. This isn't a roleplay campaign, this is purely combat focused.
No, we don't expect you to know all the rules for cover and concealment off the top of your head right away, but it will help everyone immensely if you know a little bit: the more work you can do on your own, the more time our DMs can dedicate to running sessions! That being said, if you are confused, feel free to ask questions in Discord channels.
Getting ready
Make your character!
Before you can play, you have to make a player character (PC).
Work through the New Character Checklist in the next section, which will guide you through getting your character ready and checked by our DMs
If you need a little help with building your character or writing your macros, feel free to ask in the appropriate Discord chat.
Getting into a game
DMs will list when they want to run games in the Schedule channel of the Discord and will create a signup channel for that date so that you may get a space.
A day before the session the people with highest priority are locked in and guaranteed a slot in the game. Additionally the tier for the session will also be chosen, so if you don't have a character of that tier you have ample time to work on one.
If there are still spaces for players then a second chance to get into the session up to half an hour before hand will be open and assigned again based on priority.
Priority is simple, after you play a game you are bumped to the bottom of the list. Ensuring people who played less recently can get a game.
Sessions
Each session lasts around 3-4 hours and will consist of 2 rounds of combat. A later section will go into detail into specifics but this is how it will play out:
Downtime |
Teams created |
1st round |
Short rest and 10 min IRL break |
2nd round |
Long Rest |
Teams
Usually the arena is played with 6 players in a 3v3 fight. But rules for other player counts also exist.
You must play with a character of the tier that has played the most games. If you have multiple characters in the tier with the same number of games you must use your highest ranked character of the possible options the game is being played at.
Advancement
After playing 2 matches your character will advance a tier. (we use tiers instead of referring to levels.)
Death
Dont worry you will likely die multiple times. At the arena you are restored to life at the end of the round, so you will only use 1 character each match.
Open Information
We play this game with an open hand, there are no secrets. If a player asks you what spells you have at a specific level, or if you have a special reaction that could be triggered. You must answer honestly.
You can of course make secret plans with your team. But anything else is laid bare.
Code of Conduct
- Cheating may result in a permanent ban! Note that honest mistakes don't count, and we don't foresee this being a problem, but nonetheless, it should be said.
- Be a good sport - This is PVP. People will smack each other around, thats the game. If you cant be a good sport and get all salty you’ll just kick you from roll20 and discord. No warning
- Hate speech/being an asshole to other players will not be tolerated: For most things, you get one warning, a "Hey, man, that's not ok. Don't do it again." If it is particularly offensive (you decide to go on some Hitler-esque rant), you will be banned with no warning. Again, not an expected issue, but our goal is to keep this place as open and welcoming as possible.
- The active GM can also play in the match if they desire, they'll be following exactly the same rules. This game is more akin to a fantasy skirmish match than a traditional D&D game.
Please be respectful of others' time.
If you plan to play, you should plan to take part in each session for the full listed duration (on average expect 3-4 hours) l. If you cannot stay for the maximum posted game time (if you have class or work in an hour and a half), do not signup to get into the game.
You are making a commitment to other players when you play that you will be there to back them up until the job is done. If you leave in the middle of a session without just cause, it may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the arena. Sorry for getting all in-your-face, everyone, but other similar come-when-you-can games have had issues with people pulling this and leaving their teammates to die while the DM flounders to adjust the rest of the session. The flexibility of this game should allow you to play full sessions no matter what your schedule, so you don't need to resort to playing half of one.
If you have not posted a character sheet and/or had your macros for a character checked by a DM yet, you may not play. If you join a game and don't actually have your macros ready, you are not only wasting your own time, but the time of 5 other players.
The DMs are happy to help you out with macros and understanding your powers at any time other than game time. There is almost always someone in-game or on the Discord chat who can help you out.
Before the Game:
Check your macros:
Make sure your macros are correct. Really. Double-check, then check again. Use "/talktomyself" to test each of your macros. Make sure your attack rolls use the right modifiers, that Effects and Hit and Miss effects are accurate, are perfectly clear to someone who may not have seen your character before, AND that the macros do not take up the whole chat bar. Double check to make sure that all your Attributes (AC, HP, etc.) are up-to-date and accurate as well! Really. Check before every game.
Look over your sheet:
Re-familiarize yourself with your powers and abilities. Think about what situations each power could be useful in. Look for any racial or class features or item powers that you often forget about. Look at what skills your character(s) excel in. Be ready to play that character.
Open any programs you might need:
This includes opening an UPDATED DISCORD. Make sure that your microphone works and that you have headphones so you don't echo into your microphone. Make sure that you are able to get into the game chat and that you can hear and be heard by others. If you like to have the compendium open during games, do that too.
During the Game:
Don't talk over other players or the DM!:
Wait until they are done speaking before saying what you have to say. Mute yourself when you are not actively talking: nobody wants to hear your friends, your mom, your little brother, or the TV in the background. We especially do not want to hear your eating or typing. Mute your microphone. Unmute when you have something to say, then mute when you're done.
Don't talk when it's someone else's turn:
unless you are reminding someone of a bonus or status effect or taking a reaction, you should NOT be talking out of turn.
Coordinate with other players in the chat:
you can send whispers to individual players with something like "/w Bryan hey can you move into flanking" or just type in a message to the whole group with a suggestion for tactics. This is not always necessary, but occasionally helpful to coordinate your efforts.
Pay attention!:
If you decide to play D&D, then you should be ready to play D&D. You should not be distracted by playing video games or watching TV or reading a book. Obviously we understand that people will get up to get snacks or drinks or go to the bathroom, and that's fine. But if you are going to commit to being in the game, you need to actually BE IN THE GAME.
Think about what you are going to do ahead of time:
The situation is constantly changing, but you should always have a rough idea of what you want to do on your turn well before it is your turn. Within five seconds of the DM saying your character's name, you should be ready to act. Use other people's turns to pay attention to what is happening and think about what you want to do.
If you follow these rules for courtesy and strategy, you'll find that games will run much more smoothly.
Character Creation
So you want to play? Excellent! If you are new to Roll20 I highly recommend watching this Video Even if you are a 5e veteran, read through this checklist carefully, as we have some Arena-specific instructions that may be different from what you're used to doing in other campaigns. You are very welcome to ask questions in the Discord chat throughout this process. Note that we will ask you to attempt to finish your sheet completely before having it checked (for the sanity of our DMs).
Step 1: Resources
Do not use the official Books! Everything you need has been included in this document.
Changes to much of the base classes in PHB are included in this Arena PHB .
You should at minimum read the entry on the class, race and feats that you plan to use. Assume it will be different from the usual PHB rulings.
There is a lot of content, but don't be overwhelmed! You can just stick to the options listed in this document and be completely fine. Each class has been changed to make sure it's viable for PVP.
Step 2: Class
Pick one. Request a copy of that classes character sheet template from a GM.
Step 3: Multiclass (optional)
You wish to multiclass, however the multiclass rules are different from the regular PHB rules. Make sure you read up on them, you will find them here .
Step 4: Stat Array
Assign these numbers to your ability scores:
15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8
Step 5: Race
Pick one. Typically you want your Racial bonuses to match up with your class's Key Abilities. List your race features in the Features&Traits section on the sheet.
Step 6: HP and hit dice
Health will be determined by class as a flat amount but adding the full Constitution and a 2nd ability (class dependend) score at 1st tier resulting in a more evenly spread health pool. You gain 3 hit dice, and hit dice value is determined by you constitution modifier
Modifier | Hit Dice |
---|---|
+0 | d4 |
+1 | d6 |
+2 | d8 |
+3 | d10 |
+4 | d12 |
+5 | 2d6 |
Step 7: Proficiencies
Don't worry about skills, they aren't used. Your class choice will also tell you what weapon and armour proficiencies you gain. At Tier 1 you will have a +2 proficiency bonus.
Step 8: Feat
You get a free feat at Tier 1. However you cannot select a feat that grants an attribute bonus. And you must have been able to meet the prerequisites at tier 1 to take it.
Step 9: Bio & info
This part is where you show your working out, as well as what other players will see when they look at your sheet. The template will be fairly self explanatory but the end result should look something like the image below. Please write your attribute scores as their base stat array and include brackets outlining any increases from race or level ups.
Step 10: Equipment
Read through the Rules on Items if you haven't. You do not get the starting items you would normally in the PHB.
The bio&info template includes a section to record what your character has equipped. You may have 1 main weapon set and 1 secondary weapon set, in the arena it takes a bonus action to switch between these.
Lastly you gain 1 enchantment point to gain a lesser enchantment.
Consumables are gained at match start not pre-game.
It should look something like this when filled out:
Step 11: Spellcasting
If you have spellcasting ability then you will need to pick spells allowed by your class. Additionally note that all classes except Warlocks use the alternative mana system instead of spell slots. Find it here
After selecting your spells go back to the Bio&info and fill out your choices.
Remember if you have 2 classes with this ability that use different ability modifiers then the spell DC’s or attack rolls may be different.
Step 12: Conditional Modifiers
Fill out any conditional modifiers. If you gain +1 to hit because of some reason or the other then make sure to add it as a togglable modifier in the sheet.
Step 13: Macros
Macros should be clear and concise. They should be long enough that they are easy to understand but short enough that they do not clog the whole chat. They should allow the DM and other players to quickly and easily identify the important parts of your powers.
We encourage you to edit what is included in the macro instead of simply copy pasting from the PHB. If your character requires fancy combos of feats and shit, I expect your macro's to explain how you are dealing a load more damage or doing a special thing.
Step 14 Token
You will need a picture to represent your character on the battlefield. Please use this website to make your token scale properly.
Step 15: Post your character
You need to post your character in the character approval channel. A DM will then come and look at it and let you know if anything needs changing or if everything seems cool.
Advancing your Character
Re-spec
There is the chance that you will want to assign things differently after using a character and realising they aren't doing quite what you wanted.
If your class had features such as Fighter Battlemaster maneuvers or chosen spells. Then you may freely reassign them however you wish.
Additionally you may choose to do one of the following options each time after you play in a match:
Change how your stat array is assigned | |
Re-assign how you used your ability score increase / feat | |
Change to a different archetype of your class | |
Change your Race | |
Swap an enchantment for a different one of the same value |
If you change something you must log it in your Bio & info
Progression
After your character has fought in 2 full matches they will advance 1 tier.
Tier 2
You gain anything listed in your classes section in addition:
- Gain 4 more hit dice (Total 7)
- Gain +2 to one attribute or +1 to two attributes up to a maximum of 20. Alternatively you may gain a feat.
- Gain 3 enchantment points
- Increase your proficiency level in 1 weapon, focus or shield (only if you already had proficiency)
Tier 3
You gain anything listed in your classes section in addition:
- Gain 4 more hit dice (Total 11)
- Gain +2 to one attribute or +1 to two attributes up to a maximum of 20. Alternatively you may gain a feat.
- Gain 3 enchantment points
- Increase your proficiency level in 1 weapon, focus or shield (only if you already had proficiency)
Joining at Higher Tiers
If you join a session that you have no character for the current Tier you may still join in by making a new character of the sessions Tier or by using an NPC.
Debt
There is however a cost to skipping to these tiers. Your character will have debts to pay the hero academy that must be paid off.
Tier 2 - Gain 2 Debt
Tier 3 - Gain 4 Debt
If your character has any debt points; any matches fought do not count towards advancement to the next level tier. Instead remove one debt point each match untill the character has none remaining. Then the character may begin to advance in tier.
This way all characters will have played an equal amount of matches before reaching Retirement.
Advancing up quickly
Instead of making a new character you may with to advance one you already have up to a new tier.
This is fine just check with me and I will tell you how many debt points you will accrue from doing this
Glory
When calculating glory and you have debt, you count as having either your current glory or the average (whichever is higher)
- Tier 2 - 3 Ranking
- Tier 3 - 6 Ranking
Combat
Order of combat.
After initiative is rolled all players begin the “Prep round” this is a special round of combat and has the following rules.
- No taking the "dodge" action
- No actions may be readied
- You may not end your move any closer than 15ft of any opponent
- No aggressive action may be made
- You cannot hide
During this round all effects/ spells do not "use up" their duration. It's essentially a free round.
Additionally each player must press the ready up macro and declare any weapon they have readied.
"First round"
A number of class features trigger on the first round of combat.
For the purpose of the arena the "First round" is considered to be the round after the prep round
Starting position
Your character may begin their turn in the prep round on any space of their teams spawn location. Meaning multiple characters may if they wish move out from the same space
Turn structure
Start phase:
- Regain reaction
- Resolve negative effects
- Resolve positive effects
- Roll death saving throw if required
- Resolve remaining required rules
Main phase:
- Gain action, bonus action and movement
- Movement may be used to move or to activate abilities instead of any movement for the turn
End phase:
- Resolve negative effects
- Resolve positive effects
- Roll any required saving throws
- Resolve any further required rules
- All durations advance by a turn possibly ending their effect.
Possible Actions
Attack
With this action, you make one melee or ranged Attack.
Certain features, such as the Extra Attack feature of the Fighter, allow you to make more than one Attack with this action.
Shove
Using the Attack action, you can make a Special melee Attack to shove a creature, either to knock it prone or push it away from you. If you’re able to make multiple attacks with the Attack action, this Attack replaces one of them. The target must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach. Make an Attack roll, it must be made using Strength. It is then contested by the target’s Strength save or Dexterity save (the target chooses the ability to use). If you win the contest, you either knock the target prone or push it 5 feet away from you.
Grapple
When you want to grab a creature or wrestle with it, you can use the Attack action to make a Special melee Attack, a grapple. If you’re able to make multiple attacks with the Attack action, this Attack replaces one of them.
Using at least one free hand, you try to seize the target. Make an unarmed Attack roll, it must be made using Strength. It is then contested by the target’s Strength save or Dexterity save (the target chooses the ability to use). If you succeed, you subject the target to the Grappled condition (see Conditions ). The condition specifies the things that end it.
Dropping a grappled creature is a object interaction, this may be taken as a reaction, bonus, attack, action (in order of efficiency).
In addition you have disadvantage to grapple a creature you drop until the end of your current turn.
You cannot grapple a creature you already have grappled
Escaping a Grapple: A Grappled creature can use its action to escape. To do so, it must succeed on a Strength save or Dexterity save (the target chooses the ability to use) contested by your Strength save.
Moving a Grappled Creature: To move a grappled creature you must make a successful shove attempt, however instead of pushing the target 5ft you can move up to half your speed and pull the target with you. The creature's movement doesn't provoke an opportunity attack from the grabbed target, but the movement otherwise provokes opportunity attacks as normal.
Ties In a contested roll the defender wins any tied rolls
Cast a Spell
Spellcasters such as wizards and clerics, have access to Spells and can use them to great Effect in combat. Each spell has a Casting Time, which specifies whether the caster must use an action, a Reaction, minutes, or even hours to cast the spell. Casting a Spell is, therefore, not necessarily an action. Most Spells do have a Casting Time of 1 action, so a spellcaster often uses his or her action in combat to cast such a spell.
Multiple Spells: There is no restriction on casting multiple spells on your turn in the arena, so long as you have the mana and actions
Dash
When you take the dash action you may move an additional 30ft this turn. This is unaffected by positive modifiers to speed, however this amount is reduced by the same amount of reduction if your base speed is affected.
For example a player with 40ft has their speed reduced by 10ft by a spell, they take the dash action that lets them dash an extra 20ft because of the speed reduction; meaning they will be able to move 50ft this round.
Disengage
If you take the Disengage action, your Movement doesn’t provoke Opportunity Attacks for the rest of the turn.
Dodge
When you take the Dodge action, you focus entirely on avoiding attacks. Until the start of your next turn, any Attack roll made against you has disadvantage if you can see the attacker, and you make Dexterity Saving Throws with advantage. You lose this benefit if you are Incapacitated (as explained in Conditions ) or if your speed drops to 0.
Help
You can aid a friendly creature in attacking a creature within 5 feet of you. You feint, distract the target, or in some other way team up to make your ally’s Attack more effective. If your ally attacks the target before your next turn, the first Attack roll is made with advantage.
Hide
When you take the Hide action, you must be out of line of sight for all opponents. You then gain the hidden boon.
Medicine Check
If you spend an action whilst adjacent to an dying ally you give them a +4 to their next death saving throw
Ready
Sometimes you want to get the jump on a foe or wait for a particular circumstance before you act. To do so, you can take the Ready action on Your Turn, which lets you act using your Reaction before the start of your next turn. First, you decide what perceivable circumstance will trigger your Reaction. Then, you choose the action you will take in response to that trigger, or you choose to move up to your speed in response to it. Examples include “When an opponent becomes visible,” and “When my ally moves away.”
When the trigger occurs, you can either take your Reaction right after the trigger finishes or ignore the trigger. Remember that you can take only one Reaction per round.
When you ready a spell, you cast it as normal expending mana but hold its energy, which you release with your Reaction when the trigger occurs. To be readied, a spell must have a Casting Time of 1 action, and holding onto the spell’s magic requires Concentration. If your Concentration is broken, the spell dissipates without taking Effect. For example, if you are concentrating on the web spell and ready Magic Missile, your web spell ends, and if you take damage before you release Magic Missile with your Reaction, your Concentration might be broken.
Bonus actions
Weapon swapping
It requires a bonus action to swap 1 weapon for another. It normally requires a full action to ready a shield however. (This can be dependent on shield type)
However, if you have a shield equipped then any equipment swapping requires the use of an action. This is regardless of if you are changing the shield or the item in your other hand. You may drop equipment to bypass this if you want to free up a hand, but picking up an object while you have a shield is still a full action.
To make things clear as to what you have equipped I have made a macro in roll20 that players should used to log any changes in weapons or readying an item/potion
Two-weapon fighting
When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee weapon that you're holding in one hand or if you are wielding a weapon with the double property, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you're holding in the other hand or use the double property of your weapon.
You don't add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative. If either weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of making a melee attack with it.
Overrun
When a creature tries to move through a hostile creature's space, the mover can try to force its way through by overrunning the hostile creature. As an action or a bonus action, the mover makes a Strength save contested by the hostile creature's Strength save. The creature attempting the overrun has advantage on this check if it is larger than the hostile creature, or disadvantage if it is smaller. If the mover wins the contest, it can move through the hostile creature's space once this turn.
Potion Charges
Activating a potion charge costs a bonus action. You do not need to ready a consumable item, they are always considered equipped.
Moving
On Your Turn, you can move a distance up to your speed. You can break up your Movement on Your Turn, using some of your speed before and after your action. For example, if you have a speed of 30 feet, you can move 10 feet, take your action, and then move 20 feet.
Large size
The arena is designed for medium sized creatures. Being size large can be tricky to move effectively.
When determining movement for large creatures, the player chooses one of the spaces that the creature occupies and counts movement from the chosen space as if the creature occupied one space. The creature is only considered to have entered the one space in which it ended its movement. In other words, large creatures “shrink” to move as if they were medium-sized creatures, then “expand” again when they are done moving. When large creatures enter a space containing terrain, they are affected just like any single-spaced creature.
When large monsters end their movement and their bases are placed on terrain that they did not move through, if the space is ice, hazardous terrain or a magical effect; resolve the rules for these spaces normally.
If the creature stops its movement in a space that does not have available squares to fit then it is “Squeezing”. A squeezing creature suffers disadvantage on all rolls and opponents have advantage against them.
Jumping
To keep things simple, you may only jump over pits, ice, water and lava. Depending on your strength score you may jump forwards the following increments if you move at least 10ft before jumping
0-9 Str | 0 squares |
10-14Str | 1 square |
15-19Str | 2 squares |
20+Str | 3 squares |
If you do not get a run up you may not jump.
Additionally you may only attempt 1 jump per turn.
Taking a Breather
If you have not moved, you may expend your normal movement to instead expend one hit dice per tier you have to regain HP.
Grounded stance
If you have not moved, you may expend your normal movement to instead gain aegis and reduce all forced movement by 5ft until the start of your next turn.
Reactions
You also have a reaction that you may use. Once you use a reaction you cannot do so again until the start of you next turn.
Don't die on me you son of a bitch
When an adjacent ally fails a death saving throw you may as a reaction expend a hit dice but gain no benefits. If you do the save is instead counted as a natural 20.
Object interaction
You also have one free object interaction per turn that is sometimes used to reload crossbows. It is also used to drop weapons on the ground and to release grabs you are sustaining.
Special action
Oh shit!
When an opponent deals damage (except as a result of a natural 20 or you rolling a natural 1) that exceeds 25/40/55 before damage mitigation you may expend a hit dice (without gaining any benefits) to instead take 25/40/55 damage and become weakened until the end of your next turn (you cannot be immune to this weakened)
After using this ability you do not count towards power calculation for capture points this round, and you do not prevent flags from being taken / captured until the end of the triggering players next turn.
Lastly if you are holding a flag, it is dropped.
Conditions
Blinded
If you can see a blinded creature you have advantage on your attack rolls, and they have disadvantage vs a dexterity saving throw you cause them to make.
When a blinded creature attempts to make an attack, first roll a d3. On a result of a 1 the attack automatically fails along with any other effects.
Burned
When a burned creature takes fire damage it takes damage again equal to Tier x 3.
When a creature receives healing the burn condition is also removed.
Charmed
A charmed creature can’t Attack the charmer or target the charmer with harmful Abilities or magical Effects.
Frightened
A frightened creature has disadvantage on Attack rolls and Mental saving throws while the source of its fear is within line of sight.
The creature can’t willingly move closer to the source of its fear.
Incapacitated
An incapacitated creature can’t take Actions or Reactions.
Weakened
When you roll for damage you must roll d8🡅 and reduce your damage by that amount
Paralyzed
A paralyzed creature is incapacitated (see the condition).
The creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity Saving Throws.
Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.
Any Attack that hits the creature is a critical hit if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature.
Poisoned
A creature may gain this condition multiple times in stacks.
When a creature end their turn it takes 1d6 poison damage per poison stack they have, they then loose 1 stack.
If the afflicted creature removes a condition then all stacks of poison are lost as one condition.
Pestilence
A creature with pestilence may not regain hp
Stunned
A stunned creature can’t take any type of Actions or Reactions or move.
The creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity Saving Throws.
Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.
Unconscious
An unconscious creature can’t take any type of Actions or Reactions.
The creature drops a tower shield if it is holding one and falls prone.
The creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity Saving Throws.
Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.
Any Attack that hits the creature is a critical hit if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature.
Restrained
A restrained creature’s speed becomes 0, and it can’t benefit from any bonus to its speed.
The creature has disadvantage on Dexterity Saving Throws.
Status
Grappled
A grappled creature’s speed becomes 0, and it can’t benefit from any bonus to its speed. The status ends if the Grappler is incapacitated (see the condition). The status also ends if an Effect removes the grappled creature from the reach of the Grappler or Grappling Effect.
Prone
A prone creature takes 10ft of movement to move 5ft.
The creature has disadvantage on Attack Rolls and dexterity saving throws.
Melee Attack rolls against the creature has advantage. Ranged Attack rolls have disadvantage.
Boons
Aegis
When a creature with Aegis takes damage they may choose to use Aegis, the amount of damage is halved and this boon is lost.
Ethereal
An ethereal creature ignores difficult terrain and can move through obstacles/ walls and other creatures, but it must end its movement in an unoccupied space.
When a creature is ethereal, it takes half damage from any damage source that is not also Ethereal or from force damage. However they only deal half damage to other non ethereal creatures.
Hidden
When a hidden creature is selected as the target, first the target may make a dexterity saving throw (with disadvantage if it is an area of effect attack) before anything is resolved.
If the target passes a DC Tierx2+12 the attack is a failure; do not resolve any effects or damage on the target.
If the target fails the save, resolve the attack normally and the target loses the hidden boon.
If a hidden creature does anything or activates any effect other than movement the hidden boon is lost.
When making an attack, it is made at advantage if that creature started this turn already hidden.
Whilst hidden you do not count towards the power calculation as to what team holds a capture point. And you can't can stop a flag from being taken whilst adjacent, or being captured at the opponents spawn.
Invisible
If you end your turn and no opponent can see you, you gain the hidden boon.
Creatures who cannot see you have disadvantage on Attack rolls against you.
Purity
The next time a creature with purity would gain a condition, the condition is not gained and the purity boon is lost.
Truesight
You can see in darkness and invisible creatures and bypass certain spells.
You also ignore the blinded condition and your attacks cause opponents to auto fail the hidden boon save.
Rules Changes
This part is important so listen up. The rulings listed here are things that have been changed mor dramaticaly than anything else from base 5e for the arena.
If you only read one section (I'd advise you read everything anyway) then make sure to read this one so you don't get caught out.
Attack
Many rules refer to you making an attack or successful attack. In the arena an attack is defined as an attack roll that or when you force an opponent to make a saving throw.
Dropping to 0
If you go below 0 HP you gain a level of exhaustion. If you are healed then drop again you gain another level, this repeats until you die.
As such it is perfectly fine to coup de grace a fallen opponent making death saves to prevent them from being revived.
Death!
In the arena if you die you are not permanently dead!
Additionally death saves are handled differently in the arena to make things much more deadly.
- A result of a 2-18 is a failed death save
- A result of 19+ brings sets your HP to 1/4 of its total and you may then take your turn but are weakened until the start of your next turn (starting from prone)
- A result of 1 kills you
Its not the end!
If you die its not necessarily the end for you! If before your turn starts you are dead, you may respawn at your teams starting zone at full HP and remove any and all effects. All features and mana you expended stay expended.
Line of effect
You must have line of sight of your target to be able to effect them unless specifically stated.
In addition spells have the tag "Projectile" in the range section if then require a line to be drawn between them and the target.
Always a chance of failure
Any natural roll of a 1 is always a failure. Additionally an natural roll of a 20 is always a success.
Critical attacks
If the result of a critical hit is too low to hit the defense, the attack still hits the target automatically, but without scoring a critical hit.
3 Round rule
The duration of any effects, spells, features are 3 rounds only. Unless specifically stated.
Mounts
Are considered Equipment and have their own longer section dedicated to them here
Flanking
When two creatures that are able to take actions Flank an enemy they gain a +1d4🡅 to their attack roll vs the target. Other allies may also gain a +1d4🡅 bonus is they also come adjacent to the same flanked enemy.
Stay on the ground
Being able to fly, burrow and move through walls can very easily be abused. As a result you must always end your turn on solid ground. (Aka must be targtable)
Ceiling
The arena has an either a roof or invisible force field at 25ft high. All walls are assumed to reach this height.
Prone
It is not possible to teleport yourself to standing from prone. The only way to stand is by expending half your movement or a specific rule that allows you to.
Class bonus, Power bonus and Shield bonus
The type of bonus is important. There are class bonuses, power bonuses and shield bonuses. Any bonus that isn't specifically given a type is an untyped bonus.
Why does this matter? Because bonuses of the same type do not stack! The only exception to this is untyped bonuses, which always stack (even with each other). If you have multiple bonuses of the same type, you only get to use the highest one.
Stacking effects
The effects of a source don't combine, however. Instead, the most potent effect--such as the highest bonus--from these applies while their durations overlap, or the most recent effect applies if they are equally potent and their durations overlap.
Re-rolls
You cannot re-roll a re-rolled dice. This applies to all rolls including damage.
Boost Dice 🡅
Each roll (damage, attack, saving) may only benefit from 1 boost dice. Any abilities that grant boost dice to any rolls are noted with this symbol:🡅
Note that a few abilities give a negative boost die to an opponents roll. This is negative boost dice must be used instead of a positive boost die.
Damage Roll
Extra damage is only added to damage rolls that are the result of a successful attack roll or an opponents failed save.
Other damage rolls do not recive any modifiers.
Damage types
The arena classifies the damage types as Normal or energy. If a rule refers to either type then use this as reference:
- Normal: Bludgeon, slashing, piercing
- Energy: acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, and thunder.
Class dice
All classes will have an ability that uses a class dice shown with this symbol 🎲
There are ways to improve your class dice and the symbol makes it easier to identify.
Damage Dice Increase
Several features of the game increase the size of the damage die. Dice progression is as follows:
- 1d4 -> 1d6 -> 1d8 -> 1d10 -> 1d12 -> 2d6 -> 2d8 -> 2d10 -> 2d12 -> 4d6
Damage Reduction
You can gain damage reduction from multiple sources, however you may only use one instance of damage reduction from each category:
- Oh Shit! rule
- Rolled reduction (this includes a modifier to the roll. E.g deflection adds STR mod)
- Flat reduction
- Any rule that halves damage
Apply each reduction in the order given above.
Creature types
- Combatant: The 6 player characters
- Hierling: A NPC used in certain Player counts
- Minion: Any NPC created by class features
- Summon: Any NPC created in game by a spell or ability with a duration
Dont push me over the fucking edge
When you are forcibly moved 10ft or more and would enter a piece of hazardous terrain or a pit you may use your reaction. Make a DC Tierx3+7 strength or dexterity save, on success you end the forced movement before entering that square and instead fall prone. On failure you are pushed as normal.
Get me the fuck outta here
If you find yourself down a pit it can be a ball ache to actually get out. You may as an action climb up to the closest available unoccupied space.
Mana
One of the main reasons for the change to spellcasting is the open hand rule.
It makes it much easier for other players to be aware of the spellcasting potential of other characters if they can see their remaining mana on the token, instead of asking hey can you list to me what spell slots you have available.
If you do the math you’ll see that overall it will mean you’ll be able to cast less spells at a higher level. But at the same time you will have much more flexibility in your casting.
You’ll find all you need to know about the mana system here. However Warlocks pact magic has stayed the same and these changes do not apply to them.
Tracking mana
Using mana is easy and feels natural, you don't need to track Spell Slots, just the maximum and actual mana. Just like Hit Points.
You can never use more mana than your maximum.
You don't need to look through a table to know how much a spell points a spell costs. The mana cost is simply the level of the spell.
Learning spells
Each class will tell you how many spells you learn on each tier. Note that this number also includes cantrips. So you could theoretically use all your spells learned allowance on just learning cantrips or learning no cantrips (I wouldn’t advise it though)
Multiple spells per turn
There is no hard limit to the number of spells you can cast unlike base 5e. So long as you have the mana you can cast multiple times on your turn.
Spellcasting Requirements
All spells require you to at a minimum have a free hand to cast with.
Holding items
- Versatile/ Bow
You may cast a spell whilst you are wielding a versatile weapon or bow and be counted as having a free hand.
- Two-Handed
If you have a two handed weapon you may cast the spell as long as you have not made an attack with the weapon this turn, additionally the weapon may not be used until the start of your next turn.
- 2 weapons / Shield
If you have 2 weapons or 1 weapon and shield you must sheath one before casting
Focus
If you are holding a focus, you may cast without needing a free hand.
Charges
If you are casting a spell using charges, you don't need to follow any of these restrictions.
Casting limit
Even with the flexibility of the system you must still adhere to your class’s tier casting limit.
6th level
It is possible to boost certain spells to be cast at higher levels thorugh features and enchantments. However no spell may ever excede 6th level in its casting.
Terrain
The arena itself has many obstacles to overcome. It's worth taking a moment to look over the possible terrain we use so that everything is as clear as possible. As well as a few rules to deal with them.
Pathing movement
To make things clear. When you move your token if you press the “Q” button on your keyboard it will make a measure tool for you. By pressing “Q” again you can plot out turning points. Please utilise this when moving.
Difficult terrain
I have tried to include only maps that have very clear to read terrain. To make it easier to spot; any squares have a white triangle inside them then they are difficult terrain
In addition water is included in many maps, it is not treated as regular difficult terrain but will still cost double movement unless you have a swim speed.
Hazardous terrain
Like difficult terrain, hazardous terrain is marked with a triangle, but these ones will be red. Hazardous terrain acts as difficult terrain but also can potentially harm or hamper your character.
Crossing such squares will involve a DC Tierx2+8 Dexterity save per 1 or 2 squares walked along. (meaning you can move across 2 squares with 1 check but on the 3rd square you must test again.)
On failure you will take 3d6 piercing damage. If you are forced into the square you must also make a save using the same DC, but on success you still take half the damage.
A creature may only take damage by forcibly moving through hazardous terrain once per turn
Ice
Some terrain is slippery ice. It requires a DC Tierx2+8 Dexterity save for every 1 or 2 squares walked along.
On failure you instead fall prone and slide d2 squares in a random direction.
If you are forced into the square you instead must make a dexterity save using the same DC, on failure you are slid and prone.
In addition to ice on the floor, some walls are made of ice. These walls block Line of effect as usual but not line of sight. Meaning some spells such as misty step can be used to teleport past them, but things such as arrows are blocked.
Any climbing speeds cannot be used on an ice wall as the character slides off.
Protective walls
Some maps have a special type of wall, akin to a castle's arrow slits. If a character is adjacent to them they may shoot through this wall with no penalty. If another character tries to target them then they receive three-quarter cover. Additionally although a character can be targeted as normal they are not considered to have line of sight to the square. Meaning they can't pop a sneaky fireball through the arrow slit.
Pit drops
Some maps have pits. These are shown as dark squares, and are given a slim orange outline. The damage for falling will be 3d6 and it takes 30ft to get out of them (remember half speed if you have no climb)
Darkness
Most maps have areas that have a few squares of darkness. slightly lighter squares near them count as dim light.
If you lack darkvision or truesight then you suffer disadvantage vs a target in the darkness.
Capture point
These squares do nothing to your character but they are important as they provide one of the ways for your team to score points in the arena.
Your team is considered in control of a capture point if it has more creature power on the area.
Each creature give the following power towards determining if your team has control:
- Player characters give 1 Power
- A flag placed on the center gives 1 Power
- A non-mount NPC gives 1/2 power
Web
Similar to hazardous terrain; it is difficult terrain and requires a DC Tierx2+8 Strength save for every square entered. On failure you are restrained, the escape DC is the same and requires an action.
Rounded edges
Some terrain that is blocking have a rounded corner. Like this pillar in the picture. These do not make hard corners and can be moved past with diagonal movement.
Hard corners
Most corners are considered a hard corner. This means no diagonal movement across it.
So move like this
Not this!
As you can see this has a large impact on how you plan out your movement,
Cover
A character has Line of Sight to a target if you can draw an unobstructed straight line from one corner of their space to, at least, one corner of the target’s space. This line is obstructed by spaces occupied by blocked terrain. There are four possible Line of Sight conditions:
- Clear Line of Sight: You can draw unobstructed straight lines from one of the corners of your space to every corner of the Target’s space.
- Blocked Line of Sight: You cannot draw unobstructed straight lines to any corners of the target space.
- Three quarters cover: You can draw unobstructed straight lines from the center of your space to one corner of the Target’s space, but not to all
- Half Cover: You can draw unobstructed straight lines from the center of your space to two or three corners of the Target’s space, but not to all.
Notice how Black's top right and bottom left is now drawn as green.
When drawing to a token that past a piece of LoS blocking terrain at a 45° angle from your center. You may ignore 1 corner.
Mellaniphe is behind 1 corner for black, but it is ignored as it is at a 45° angle from Black's center. Mellaniphe gets half cover as 1 corner is obstructed.
In this image Mellaphine is behind 2 LOS blocking corners so she will gain 3/4 cover.
Peeking around corners
Drawing from the center of your token all the time would result in people standing near walls suddenly unable to see much at all.
This rule allows you to break the usual targeting rules if you are stood at the edge of a piece of LOS blocking terrain. Instead of using the center you may use the corner of your token for targets in a 90° angle from you position.
In this example Mellaniphe cannot use this rule to target Black as the LOS continues further to the left, making her not on the edge. She could however use the rule to target anyone to her bottom right as the LOS blocking wall ends there.
Fight!
This section will take you through what to expect and details how the structure of a session will play out.
Life of the fucking Champion !
First thing to do at the start of the match is to see how well your character has done for themselves. Roll a number of d20’s equal to your ranking score (rounded down). For each natural 20 you roll you gain a benefit from the table below. All benefits are cumulative, so you gain each effect below the number of 20’s you roll as well.
Number of 20’s | Effect |
---|---|
1 | Small dealings on the side have gone well for you you gain 1 consumable for this fight |
2 | You have used your influence to get the judges to make one opponent of your choice with +1point for reducing to 0hp for the first time |
3 | The gods smile on you, for this match you gain the effect of Bless |
4 | An admirer of yours has sent you a gift. You gain a 1 enchantment point |
5 | You've really been practicing lately and learned some new tricks. You may select a feat for free |
6 | These filthy casuals haven't got anything on you; your much stronger! An ability score of your choice increases by 2 and so does your maximum |
7 | You've been at this game for longer than the others, a permanent +30 HP |
8 | You're basically the chosen one of the gods, choose an Epic Boon of your choice |
Downtime
Before the match each player may take 1 downtime activity.
The list of options available are on a later page.
Team up
This is no solo affair. Otherwise certain builds would simply not work, D&D is a team game after all. Each fight consists of 2 teams fighting over the capture points. A team normally consists of 3 players.
To select who will be in what team we follow the formula: Red team with highest, 4th and 6th ranked. Blue team is then 2nd, 3rd and 5th ranked.
Other player counts
Sometimes getting a full 6 players is not possible, but this doesn't mean we can't play. When a different player count exists, use the following rules
5 Players
One team will gain a NPC combatant, the team has full control of the NPC and they count as a full player character.
The NPC counts as having some ranking depending on the tier:
- Tier 1 - 0 Ranking
- Tier 2 - 3 Ranking
- Tier 3 - 6 Ranking
4 Players
Each team will be 2 combatants for a 2v2 fight. Red team will be the highest ranked player and the lowest ranked player. Blue team is the 2nd and 3rd ranked.
However each player may also select a hierling each to join the team. Making it a 4v4 fight. Rules and choices for hirelings are detailed later.
3 Players
Probably the trickiest player count. The game becomes a 1v1v1 as each player fights the others alongside 1 hierling of their choice, on a smaller arena map.
Points for flag captures are reduced to 3 points, and holding of capture areas awards points difference agaisnt the player who holds the least capture areas.
2 Players
Each player controls 1 team. The team will consist of the players character plus 2 hirelings.
Underdog points
At the start of each match the total glory for each team is added up. The team with the lowest total glory gains underdog points equal to the difference in the opposing team.
E.g Red team have 7.3 Glory total and Blue team have 5.8 The difference of 1.5 (always rounded down) give each member of the Blue team 1 underdog point to spend.
After underdog points have been given you must decide on how to spend them. Below is a list of how you can spend them.
- Up to 3 can be stored as “re-rolls” - These are spent later to re-roll 1 d20 You have rolled
- 1 can be spent to give yourself a gladiator dice (no limit).
- 1 can be spent to gain a consumable
Bounty
On the flip side the current highest scoring player will have a bounty placed on their head. If the opposing team successfully reduces this player to 0 HP for the first time they earn an additional glory point.
Before the 2nd fight begins, the winning players of the previous round instead have a bounty placed on their head, not the current ranking leader. However this bounty is removed from all members of the team, the first time it is claimed.
Arena Effect
Each fight the arena will feature one of special effects that will trigger at the end of the 1st round. Be aware of what effect is taking place. A breakdown of how they work is included later.
If the same arena rule is rolled twice in a round, the effect it re-rolled until a new one is rolled.
Game Length
Each fight will last for 6 rounds, or until one team has reached 10 glory points. Any points in excess of 10 ar still awarded.
At the end of the 6 rounds any players at 0HP making death saves are considered dead and award the opposing team 3 glory as usual.
Tap out
If your team is doing terribly it may be a better choice to cut your losses and admit defeat. At the start of a new round a team may “Tap out”.
Doing this ends the match and awards the enemy team the maximum glory for the fight.
Timer
Each team has their own individual timer that functions as a chess clock. Each team has a time limit of 90 mins for the entire match (setting a soft limit of 3 hours per game). When a teams timer reaches 90 mins and the game is still going the following things happen;
The opposing team is awarded 2 points
If the game is still running after points are gained the team gains another 5 minutes on their clock. Again if this 5 minutes expires points are awarded to the other team. Rinse and repeat.
The timer will be paused for rules clarifications, reactions, opposed rolls and saving throws.
After the fight
At the end of each fight each character is returned to life if dead. Then everyone gains the benefit of a short rest, recharging abilities as appropriate.
During this short rest each character is restored to full hit points.
How to score points
It isn't quite as simple as being the last man standing. To win a match you must score the most points. Scoring works as follows:
When an enemy player is killed your team gains 3 glory
At the end of each round after the prep round. Your team gains gains points equal to the positive difference in capture points you hold. E.g if Red holds 2 points and Blue hold 1, then Red will score 1 point
If your team destroys an enemy flag your team gains 5 glory
Each enemy player character with a bounty on their head reduced to 0 HP earns your team 1 glory
Flags
Flags are used to help retain control of points however there are risks to using them.
Placing
As an action you may place a flag on the center of a capture point you are adjacent to, so long as there are no enemies on the capture point or within 5 foot of you. You may take down a flag of your own teams as a bonus action as long as you are adjacent, and no enemies are adjacent to you or the flag.
Capturing
You may take down an adjacent flag of an opposing team as an action, so long as there are no enemies within 5 foot of yourself or the flag. You may choose to keep it or let it disappear. when holding a flag the following effects apply to you:
- You must have a free hand to hold the flag
- You grant advantage to enemies and have disadvantage on saves
- You may never be disarmed or forced to drop the flag. You can only do so as a free action on your turn.
- You speed becomes 30ft (unless it was lower) and you may only teleport a maximum of 30ft
With the movement reduction remember that any distance moved before the flag is picked up counts towards your 30ft speed. So for example if you had 50ft movement and moved 20ft to the flag then picked it up, you then only have 10ft of move remaining.
Always deduct distance from your movement speed first before accounting for extra movement granted by dash or similar abilities.
Destroying
If you reach your team's spawn point with an enemy flag and there are no enemy team creatures in this area you may spend an action to destroy a flag you hold.
Ranking
After a match your glory points will be converted into a ranking and added to the Arena leaderboard.
Downtime
At the start of each session you may choose one of the options for your character to complete to see what they have been doing in between Matches.
Gladiator Training
Gain a number of Training Die (d6) equal to your tier. You can spend one die at any time in this match to add to an attack roll, damage roll or saving throw. Or to subtract from your opponents Saving throw vs an effect you cause. (This may stack with other dice)
Mix a brew
You gain 1 consumable per tier
Work the stable
Expend 1xtier hit dice, you then gain a level 1 mount to use this fight
Chat shit
Select one opponent. If You reduce that opponent to 0 HP during the fight your team gains an additional point. (This may only happen once)
Pay the heralds
For each fight your team wins this match you individually gain +0.1 ranking on the leaderboard
Arena effects
Rowdy Crowd
Each time this triggers, each player must make a saving throw (randomly determined each time)
The DC is 9 / 11 / 13
On failure they take a random negative effect. The duration if required is until the start of the next hazard roll
Darkness
At the end of the first round an area of darkness 25ft in radius will appear in a randomly determined location. The corresponding area is considered in total darkness for the next round. Any characters lacking a light or darkvision will be unable to see in the zone. At the end of each round a new location is randomly determined.
Whirlwind
Each time this triggers each player must make a saving throw (randomly determined each time). On a fail they are slid D4 squares in a random direction
Portals
At the end of the first round 2 portals will appear in randomly determined locations. These portals are linked to each other and a player may move from one to another as if they are adjacent squares.
At the end of each round a new location is randomly determined for each portal.
Chaos
At the end of the first round a random damage type area of chaos 25ft in radius will appear in a randomly determined location.
If any creatures are in this zone at the end of the following round they must make a random saving throw. The DC is DC is 9 / 11 / 13
On fail they take their tier x 3d6 of that random damage type or half as much on success
At the end of each round a new location is randomly determined.
Ugly Bastard
A monster assigned to each team starts on the furthest capture point from their spawn in the arena. If the monster assigned to your team is killed you earn an additional 4 glory.
How it acts
The monster acts on initiative 0 but not in the prep round.
When the monster acts a random direction is determined. It will attempt to attack the closest member of the opposing team that it can reach prioritising the opponent within that compass direction. If it cannot make an attack it will, simply move towards the opponent in that direction but will never dash.
When measuring who is closest obstacles are taken into account. So the monster will choose the closest path. It will target PC or npc's but will ignore the other ugly bastard |
The monster will not attempt to make any reaction attacks against the team it is not assigned to. If the closest PC is not within line of sight the monster is still aware of your position unless you have succeeded on a stealth check vs its passive perception.
Powerups
Each time this triggers a new random powerup is available. The location of the powerup is randomly determined.
Any player who expends a bonus action whilst adjacent claims its benefits.
Hierlings
If the number of players in the game means that hirelings are used, then any of the following 4 hirelings may be taken into the team.
Almost a player
Hirelings all count as 1 power for the purposes of holding a capture point, and unlike other npc’s they may interact with flags; Placing, destroying and capturing just like a player character.
Hirelings make death saves just like a player character, but killing them will only net the opposing team 1 point. This death does not trigger abilities that would trigger on player death however.

Races
I don’t like the way that races in D&D get numerical bonuses to their ability scores. I think it’s unnecessarily limiting. There are over 1,000 unique race/class combinations in fifth edition D&D, but only a small handful of them are worth playing from a character optimization standpoint.
Halfling rogues are a classic class combination, for example, because they’re an optimal combo for all three pillars of D&D. Ever since The Hobbit, the idea of halflings being small and sneaky has been a staple of fantasy, giving us prime examples of how one might explore, fight, or interact with people as a halfling rogue. And D&D lets you do all that because of supremely synergistic racial ability score increases, racial traits, and the somewhat more ephemeral idea of being fun to roleplay. On the other hand, class combinations like a half-orc wizard have always been a harder sell. In previous additions, a half-orc’s penalty to Intelligence made being a wizard incredibly hard—and even in fifth edition D&D, the fact that the half-orc race doesn’t get a bonus to Intelligence makes it hard to excel as a wizard because you’ll always have a subpar spell attack bonus and saving throw DC.
Therefore almost all races grant +2 in one attribute and +1 in a different one. Some have a few variations on this as well. In addition you’ll notice many races have been streamlined and only combat relevant features have been kept, or have been adapted for the arena. Darkvision is also limited to very few races, this is intentional.

You use transmutation magic to give your arrow an ethereal quality. When you use this option, you don’t make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, the arrow fires forward in a line, which is 1 foot wide and 30 feet long, before disappearing. The arrow passes harmlessly through objects, ignoring cover. Each creature in that line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow.
Seeking Arrow.
Using divination magic, you grant your arrow the ability to seek out your target, allowing the arrow to curve and twist its path in search of its prey. When you use this option, you don’t make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, choose one creature within the bows normal range. The arrow flies toward that creature, moving around corners if necessary and ignoring three-quarters cover and half cover. If the target is within the weapon’s range and there is a path large enough for the arrow to travel to the target, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow.
The creature has advantage or disadvantage on this Dexterity saving throw, depending on whether or not a normal attack would have.
You may use this on hidden enemies, bypassing the hidden boon.
Shadow Arrow.
You weave illusion magic into your arrow, causing it to occlude your foe’s vision with shadows. The creature hit by the arrow must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be unable to see anything farther than 5 feet away until the start of your next turn.

Trying your essence to an arrow with conjuration magic, you may fire this arrow at a point on a surface within range attacking AC 10 On hit you teleport yourself from your current location to the chosen location. You arrive at exactly the spot desired. This arrow can never deal damage.
Disrupting Arrow.
You weave abjuration magic into an arrow in an attempt to interrupt a spell.
Instead of an attack roll make an intelligence saving throw.
The DC equals 14 + the spell’s level. On a success, the creature’s spell ends as if a successful dispel had been cast on it.
This arrow can never deal damage.

At tier 3, you add your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) to the damage of your melee weapon attacks while your Bladesong is active. Additionally when you cast a cantrip as a melee weapon attack you may double your weapons damage dice. These dice are added as 🡅.
Equipment
Mundane items that are available to are listed in the following pages, only these items are available.
Buying
Gold is not used in the Arena as it helps reduce the required accounting. The arena will provide characters with any mundane equipment they require. Some armour and shields are limited by tier and this is listed in the category description.
For magical enchantments you must allocate enchantment points that you gain as you advance. This is explained in its own section.
General rule: if it's not in this documents, it's not available in this campaign
Limitations
Weapons
We do not track encumbrance however we draw the line at taking a mass armoury into the arena.
Therefore you may have one main set of weapons, and 1 alternate weapon set. (everyone also has their unarmed strike)
A set is defined as:
- Weapon and off-hand
- Weapon and shield
- Two handed weapon
Ammunition
We do not track ammunition for ranged weapons.
Throwing weapons
Throwing weapons are considered an unlimited amount of that type unless specified.
Additionally whilst equipped you are considered to have that weapon equipped and do not need to expend a bonus action each time to pull out a new one.
Consumables
Consumables are gained through downtime actions, rolling on life of the champion and through underdog points.
Any consumable not used during a match is lost, they cannot be hoarded.
Repair
Just like your character not dying for good in the arena. Your gear also enjoys the same benefit, any items broken or lost are restored to you at the end of a fight
On that note
This seems a good time to remind you nothing can be permanently stolen from other characters. In addition consumable items can never be taken from another character without their permission.
Realistic Equipment with a Fantasy Flair
Equipment in this system is no longer categorized as "simple" and "martial," rather, all equipment has been divided into groups, such as axes, combat blades, or polearms. All weapons from the core rules are included, with some degree of change. In general, some effort was made for the equipment here to reflect those in historical use while also blending fantasy concepts such as warhammers sending creatures flying, or boomerangs returning to the thrower.
Armor has been divided evenly into three categories of Light, Medium, Heavy, and Shields. Shields have been given a variance of training as well.
Finally, the weapons and shields of this system have been given properties which set them apart. Axes cleave through soft targets, flails reach around shields, etc. In addition, a master with any of this equipment gets an additional ability with that equipment. Greataxes roll critical hit damage twice and take the best result, or quarterstaves make two attacks during an opportunity attack.
All equipment in this system has three levels of training: simple, martial, and master. Simple training often gives a basic use and few properties, and many weapons don't add proficiency bonus to attack unless used with martial training. Martial training offers more properties out of a weapon or shield, as well as using with full proficiency bonus. Finally, master training gets the most out of a piece of equipment, as well as a unique perk.
Translating your proficiencies
This system requires a bit of translation from base 5e, but don't worry, it's easy! Look at your class, and note any proficiencies with weapons, armor, and shields.
If your class gives martial weapon proficiency, you use all weapons in this system with martial training. If any specific weapon is mentioned, such as monk with Quarterstaff, you use them with martial training. Anything not mentioned to you as proficiency becomes simple training, for example, a sorcerer would use a greatsword with simple training.
Proficiency level
When you advance in tier you get to increase your proficiency level with a weapon.
- Simple > Martial > Master
In our monk example, if they chose to increased proficiency with quarterstaff they would be a master with the weapon.
Weapon Style Feats and Master Perks
All Weapon style feats apply to that group only. For example, if you have taken Combat Blade Style, which grants you advantage on opportunity attacks, you only have this advantage when using a Combat Blade to make the opportunity attack.
All weapon perks apply to that weapon only. For example, if you have mastery of shortswords, which grants you advantage on damage rolls with a shortsword, you cannot wield a shortsword in one hand and have advantage on all damage rolls from other weapons or effects. The advantage on damage applies to the shortsword and its modifiers only.
Finally, any perk which gives you +1 AC for wielding a certain weapon or combination of weapons is usualy listed as a shield bonus. For example, a master with a rapier wielding another light weapon gains +1 shield bonus to AC, and while wielding a sai in the off hand gains +1 shield bonus to AC. These do not stack to +2 AC if the master wields a rapier and sai together.
Feats
The PvP arena uses its own feat system. All of the feats available are listed later But for easy reference weapon group feats are included in the weapon groups they belong to.

Shields
Whether a target or tower, shields come in all shapes and sizes from kites to circles to teardrops to coffins.
Ambush Weapons
These weapons are not designed for combat, rather for ambush. They are easily hidden or mundane, and in the right hands can end a fight before it's even started.
Axes
Axes are weapons which easily chop through targets using weight instead of a sharp blade. An axe’s beard, or the underside of the head between the shaft, is just as effective as a weapon in the hands of an expert as the edge is.
Bludgeons
Bludgeons are more simple weapons that rely on pure weight over anything else. However, they have additional bonuses, as getting smacked in the head isn't a simple matter of how much bruising you will have to show for it.
Bows and Slings
Humanity's first invention, and likely the weapon the brought humans out of the caves and trees to the top of the food chain, the bow is as ancient as civilization itself. Bows require more training than crossbows, but reload faster, making them still hold relevance in the age of mechanical winding and gunpowder.
Combat Blades
Combat blades are military weapons designed for war. Most of these weapons are long, powerful swords.
Crossbows
Crossbows require less training to operate than a bow and are often more powerful, but their reload time keeps them from making the former obsolete.
Dueling Blades
Dueling blades are smaller, lighter weapons designed for civilian defense. These weapons deal less damage but have more specialized uses, often used with finesse.
Flails and Whips
These are weapons of misdirection, rather than straightforward attacks. The weapon design may not always be optimal, but the reach and flexibility of it gives additional options in battle.
Hammers and Picks
These weapons share an anti-armor design with concentrated force, either on the point of a pick or face of a hammer. Differing from bludgeons with specialization against armor and more refined technique, these weapons are staples for any warrior needing to open some cans.
Polearms
These are weapons of reach, usually a weapon mounted on a lengthy pole. These weapons are often designed for use in standard infantries, and have natural capabilities against charging cavalry or massive targets.
Spears
If a bow is as old as civilization, a spear is as old as the species. A feature in almost every military in history, and an efficiency unmatched in terms of production, training, and application.
Throwing Weapons
These weapons allow snap precision in combat at medium range. Often paired with special abilities, throwing has a very unique combat style.
Weapon Properties
Passive Weapon DC
When your enemy must make a save against your passive weapon DC, it is calculated with the following equation:
Weapon DC = 8 + your proficiency + your strength modifier + any non rolled attack modifiers
You can substitute dexterity for strength if the weapon has the finesse or ranged property.
Awkward
This weapon requires additional training to use properly, though you can get some use out of it. If you only have simple training, you do not add your proficiency bonus while rolling an attack with this weapon.
Conceal
Used as a keyword for Rogues proficiencies.
Brace
You choose to hold your action to brace. On your turn, choose any targets you can see that is at least 20 feet away from you. If any target moves within your weapon’s reach before your next turn, you can make a melee attack against it with your weapon as a reaction. If the attack hits, treat the attack as a critical hit, plus double your strength modifier.
While bracing, if you move or are moved against your will, or you instead spend your reaction to do something else before the target moves into range, you forfeit the brace until your next turn. A Brace attack is not an Opportunity Attack.
Deflect
If struck by a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to roll your weapon’s damage plus your strength modifier or dexterity if the weapon is finess, then subtract that total from the damage dealt to you for one attack.
Disarm
Before rolling the attack declare a disarm and take a -5 to your attack roll, you deal no damage and force your enemy to roll a strength or dexterity Saving Throw, against your attack roll. On a failure, it drops one held object of your choice. If the enemy is larger than you or is using a two-handed weapon, it gains advantage on this save. If it is smaller than you, it suffers disadvantage.
Double
You make one additional attack as a bonus action using the damage listed (You may only add your ability modifier to the damage if you could normally for two-weapon fighting), if you are within 5 ft of your target and wielding your weapon with two hands. Double Ended attacks do not benefit from any other weapon property, nor can they make special attacks such as Disarm, Entangle, or Trip. A Double Ended attack is strictly damage.
This attack counts as two weapon fighting for rules purposes.
Entangle
If your attack is successful, you can choose to deal no damage and instead apply the grappled status to your target. To escape, the entangled enemy must escape against your passive weapon DC, gaining advantage if it is larger than you. Creatures two size categories larger than you are immune to being entangled.
You can not use the weapon entangling an opponent to make an attack, but if you are holding the weapon entangling your target, on your turn, as a bonus action you can choose to deal damage equal to your strength modifier. You can release a foe from being entangled at any time. If you drop the weapon, the foe is automatically freed.
Finesse
Instead of Strength, you can add Dexterity bonus to your attack and damage. This weapon can also be used for sneak attack.
Heavy
Category size Small creatures always suffer disadvantage when wielding a heavy weapon. Tiny and smaller cannot wield a heavy weapon.
Light
This weapon is small or light enough that it allows the user to wield it in the off hand. While dual wielding, you can make a single attack with your off-hand weapon as a Bonus Action (counts as part of the Attack Action). If the attack is successful, you do not add your ability modifier to damage unless you have an ability that allows you too.
Lunge
If you use an attack action, you attack a foe up to 5ft further than normal with all attacks for that turn, which can be combined with Reach. This ends with your turn and cannot be used as part of an Opportunity Attack. Performing a lunge uses your reaction.
Melee
Melee Weapons make a melee weapon attack to another creature up to 5ft away, and add strength modifier to Attack Roll and damage. A Melee weapon cannot be thrown as an attack unless it has the Thrown weapon property.
Disarm Mechanics
When you disarm something it can land in an unoccupied space 5 ft in any direction, so if there is a nearby pit or pool of lava, you should disarm the weapon into it to prevent your enemy from retrieving it on their turn!
One Handed
A one-handed weapon requires only one hand to wield, leaving the off-hand open to wield another weapon, shield, grapple, or be used for the somatic component of a spell.
Ranged
Ranged weapons make a ranged weapon attack using dexterity for attack and damage. Your ranged weapon must be loaded with ammunition to use with that weapon to roll an Attack Roll. Range always lists two numbers. The first is the weapon's normal range, and the second indicates its maximum range. When attacking enemies beyond the normal range or with an enemy within 5ft of you, you suffer disadvantage for that attack.
Reach
This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you make a melee weapon attack, as well as for determining your reach for Opportunity Attacks with it. Note that if there is a creature between you and your enemy within reach, your enemy has half cover. Reach cannot be used to extend the range of a Double attack.
Penetrate
Damage from a weapon with penetrate cannot be reduced by enchantments, feats, subclass features, or resistance.
Stagger
When you miss a creature with this weapon without rolling a 1, the next attack against this same creature gains advantage.
Giving yourself disadvantage
Some master perks allow you to give yourself disadvantage to activate certain effects. You cannot give yourself disadvantage if you already have disadvantage.
Reload
Some ranged weapons take time to reload, which is reflected as using a certain type of action to do so. More trained users can reload faster. Reload times in order from fastest to slowest are; part of attack, free object interaction, reaction, bonus, attack, action.
All weapons with the reload property require two hands to load unless otherwise stated.
Reload as a free object interaction means you spend your free interaction reloading. This feels like a free reload, and in most cases it is, but in rare cases, like for example, you are attempting to reload and open a door, you will only be able to do one.
Reloading with an attack means you take an attack action, and during the attack, one of your attacks is used to instead reload. If you have 3 attacks, you attack once, use an attack to reload, then attack again.
You must always reload your weapon before using it for a ranged weapon attack again. If your weapon was empty at the end of your turn, it must be reloaded at the start of your next turn.
You have the choice of reloading your weapon any of the options that are slower. For example, a crossbow master using a light crossbow is able to reload using a bonus action, a reaction, or a free object interaction.
Thrown
Thrown weapons are melee weapons which can be used to make a ranged attack by throwing the weapon at the enemy, dealing their melee damage at range. They use Strength for attack and damage, unless the weapon has finesse, in which case you may use Dexterity for the attack and damage. Thrown always lists two numbers. The first is the weapon's normal range, and the second indicates its maximum range. When attacking enemies beyond the normal range or with an enemy within 5ft of you, you suffer disadvantage for that attack.
Trip
Before rolling the attack, declare a trip, you deal no damage and your enemy must succeed on a strength or dexterity saving throw against your attack roll or be knocked prone. Enemies 1 size category larger than you gain advantage on this save. Enemies two size categories larger than you are immune to being tripped in this way.
Two Handed
This weapon requires two hands to wield, meaning your off hand cannot be used to wield another weapon, shield, or grapple. However, you may still use your off hand for the somatic components of spells. You cannot make an Attack Roll with a two handed weapon if you have only one hand to wield it.
Versatile
This weapon may be used with one or two hands. When used with two hands, the weapon will have a higher damage potential, as well as any other benefit from wielding a weapon with two hands. You may switch from two hands to one hand wielding the weapon at any time, and for any reason.
Armour
If you are not proficient with a type of armor and wear it, you suffer disadvantage to all Strength and Dexterity rolls, and you can't cast spells with somatic components.
Light Armour
Type | Base AC | Stealth | Tier |
---|---|---|---|
Leather | 11 | None | 1 |
Studded | 12 | None | 2 |
Lacquered | 13 | None | 3 |

Banded Mail | 16 | Disadvantage | 3 |
Heavy Armour
Type | Base AC | Stealth | Str Req | Tier |

Scale Mail | 16 | Disadvantage | 13 | 2 |
Splint | 17 | Disadvantage | 15 | 2 |
Plate | 18 | Disadvantage | 15 | 3 |
Light Armour
Light armor is made from cloth, leather, or other animal products, and is usually lighter, thinner, and less protective than the other armors, but also provides the most mobility and least weight. You add your Dexterity modifier to AC when you wear Light Armor.
Leather This form of leather is usually clothing or utility thickness that is unhardened and offers only slightly better protection than raw skin. Because it is thinner than Padded, it is less restrictive and allows more mobility, but its material is usually more expensive.
Studded Leather This leather is unhardened as well but has been studded with metal rivets or brackets to offer some resistance to metal blades. Its increased time taken to stud the leather and keep the same integrity adds to its manufacturing cost.
Lacquered Leather This leather has been soaked in molten wax, boiled in water, or painted with lacquer to harden it as hard as modern plastics. It offers superior protection to other light armors without increasing weight, but the required technique to boil or otherwise harden leather without ruining it to burning it or over hardening to brittle adds to the cost.
Light Armour Master
Requires proficiency in Light armor
You are able to nimbly duck and dodge, and use your armor's light protection to cover your mistakes, deflecting blows that would have only barely hit you.
Increase Dexterity score by 1 to a maximum of 20
You gain resistance to bludgeoning damage
While you are wearing Light Armor, if you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you take no damage if you succeed on the save. You still take full damage if you fail.
If you are hit by an attack you may expend your reaction to make a dexterity saving throw and replace your AC with the result for this attack
Medium armour
This armor is a combination of leather or animal products and metal. It covers less than Heavy armor using the same materials and usually costs less due to a lighter manufacturing process and less material. You add up to +2 from your Dexterity modifier to AC when you wear medium armor.
Hide his crude armor consists of thick furs and pelts.
Chain Shirt This is a shirt of butted mail. It is easy to produce, but offers less protection than the hauberk but is lighter and more affordable.
Ring Mail A series of closed rings stitched to a thick leather backing.
Breastplate Wearing just the breastplate of a suit of plate armor, this armor provides the easiest mobility of the medium armors and more protection than the chain shirt or ring mail. However, plate is expensive to make and thus has a greatly increased cost.
Banded Mail The quintessential half-plate, also known as lorica, this armor is a series of metal ribbons banded together to form more complete protection. Banded mail is cheaper to produce than full plate, but is still quite a process, involving many steel plates and precise shaping.
Medium Armour Master
Requires proficiency in Medium armour
Combining the mobility of light armor, and the protection of heavy armor, you master movement and maintain toughness while wearing medium armor.
Increase Dexterity or Strength score by 1 to a maximum of 20
You gain resistance to Piercing damage
Wearing medium armor doesn't impose disadvantage on your hidden triggered dexterity saves
In response to a critical hit, you use your reaction to attempt a Dexterity saving throw against a DC of 10 or half the attack roll, whichever is higher. On success, the attack is not a critical hit.
Heavy Armour
Heavy armor weighs and costs the most, but is the most protective, and most restrictive armor available. All heavy armor requires a Strength score of to wear, if you wear heavy armour and don't have enough strength your speed is reduced by 10ft. You do not add your Dexterity modifier to AC when wearing heavy armor.
Chain Hauberk Requires strength 13. This is a full suit of chain armor made with riveted or welded rings, making the suit incredibly durable. The Hauberk covers both sleeves and stops at the knee, offering near complete coverage.
Scale Requires strength 13. Taking chainmail and adding a scale to each ring gives a substantial increase to protection without much increase in the manufacturing process but adds quite a bit of weight. Scale armor is just as noisy to move around in as the Hauberk.
Splint Requires strength 15. Splint armor can be described as the poor man’s Banded Mail. Instead of bands shaped to fit the wearer, a series of small, palm-sized plates and finger sized “splints” of metal are tied together to form a coat.
Plate Requires strength 15. The essential Knight’s armor. Plate is extremely difficult and costly to produce, is the heaviest and most restrictive of all armor. However, no other armor is more protective. All parts of the body are covered, even the wearer's joints.
Heavy Armour Master
Requires proficiency in Heavy armour
You are so adept at using the thick padding and stopping power of your armor that you absorb damage that would kill a more lightly armored combatant.
Increase Strength score by 1 to a maximum of 20
You gain resistance to Slashing damage
All bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage you receive is reduced by an amount equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
When an attacker that you can see deals bludgeoning, piercing or slashing to you, you can use your reaction to halve that damage against you.
Shields
Type | AC Bonus | Strength Required | Stealth Restriction | Donning/ Swap Time | Tier |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Buckler | 1 | N/A | None | Bonus Action | 1 |
Skirmish | 2 | N/A | None | Action | 1 |
Tower | 3 | 13 | Disadvantage | Action + Move | 2 |
Simple Training If you are not proficient with shields, you instead have simple training with shields and gain a flat +1 shield bonus to AC, suffer disadvantage to all Strength and Dexterity saves.
Shield Style
If you take an attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to perform a shove action with your shield.
If you aren't incapacitated, you can add your shield AC bonus to any dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or other harmful effect.
If you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you take no damage if you succeed on the save.
You may swap other items whilst holding a shield as a bonus action.
Buckler A buckler, or target shield, is a smaller shield that is strapped passively to the arm or carried in one hand. The Master can use the shield's dueling ability to deflect with ease.
Martial | If you are wielding the buckler, it has Deflect (1d8) |
Master | You may add the deflect roll from the buckler to any deflect roll you make with your main hand and if you reduce incoming damage to 0, you may immediately make an attack against your attacker as part of the same reaction. |
Skirmish Skirmish shields come in a variety of shapes but are about the size of the user's torso. You strap the shield to your forearm and grip it with your hand, or grasp it with a center grip, occupying your off hand. A Skirmish shield is large enough to provide better passive protection than the buckler, while still providing the agility missing with a tower shield. The Master can extend this agility to even spell attacks.
Martial | You reduce all ranged weapon damage dealt to you by d12/2d6/2d8 |
Master | You may also apply your reduction against spell damage, additionally a successful shove deals d4 + Strength modifier in bludgeoning damage. |
Tower This massive shield is as tall as you and just as wide; you fight more around it like a door than moving it with your body. It is essentially carrying a piece of mobile cover. Unlike other shields your drop the tower shield if you fall unconscious
The master shieldman can take cover with his shield as quickly as a ranger uses trees, effectively giving the enemy no target.
Martial | You may use your reaction to gain three-quarter cover against ranged attacks and granting you a bonus to your dexterity saving throw before you roll. This lasts until the triggering enemies end of turn |
Master | While using the shield as cover, if you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a dexterity saving throw, and you fail that save, you take only half damage. |
Ambush Weapons
Weapon | Damage Types | Simple Damage | Martial Damage | Master Damage |
---|---|---|---|---|
Punch Dagger | Piercing or Slashing | d4 | d4 | d4 |
Whip Dagger | Piercing | d4 | d4 | d4 |

Ambush Weapons Style
- On your turn, when you make an attack with advantage gained from the hidden boon. If both attack results successfully hit your target the attack is a critical hit.
- You may use your reaction to make a single attack against a creature that has missed you with a melee attack.
Punch Dagger
A punching blade is usually a small knife attached to a horizontal handle that projects out from the fist when held; but also describes wrist or fist mounted blades such as claws or daggers which extend out over the knuckles when equipped. A master with the punch dagger can find weaknesses when the enemy is distracted or moving. With martial or master proficiency you may treat these attacks as unarmed for any rule purposes.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d4, Conceal, Finesse, Light. |
Martial | One Handed, Melee d4, Conceal, Finesse, Light |
Master | One Handed, Melee d4, Conceal, Finesse, Light |
Master Perk | You have advantage on opportunity attacks made with this weapon. Additionally, if this weapon is in your off hand, you may make an opportunity attack with your main hand and this weapon. |
Whip Dagger
A dagger with a ring pommel at the end of a silk ribbon. The weapon can be used like a dagger in hand to attack creatures up to 5ft away, or swung about the end of the ribbon to attack creatures up to 10ft away. A master has learned the scorpion pull, able to impale up to 15ft away, then pull them with the attached ribbon.
Simple | Two Handed, Melee d4, Conceal, Awkward, Finesse, Reach |
Martial | Two Handed, Melee d4, Conceal, Entangle, Finesse, Reach |
Master | One Handed, Melee d4, Conceal, Entangle, Finesse, Lunge, Reach |
Master Perk | On hit, your entangle deals damage, and you can choose to force the enemy to succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 10ft toward you. If your enemy succeeds on the save, it is no longer grappled. |
Gauntlet
Any spiked or weighted glove, brass knuckles, or even clawed gauntlet. Gauntlets of heavy armor are not weighted enough to count as this weapon. Putting on or taking off your gauntlets is an action, and they cannot be disarmed. A master can catch the enemy’s weapon on a miss, and attempt to hold onto the weapon for a counterstrike. Your damage scales like Unarmed Strike, according to the table below. Additionally you may treat these attacks as unarmed for any rule purposes.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d2 |
Martial | One Handed, Melee d4 |
Master | One Handed, Melee Table, Light |
Master Perk | As a reaction to a melee attack, if their attack misses, you can attempt a grapple, unless they let go of their weapon. |
Hidden Blade
The infamous hidden blade is a mechanical means to deploy a piercing dagger from under your wrist as part of an attack. The hand this weapon is equipped to is open allowing it to wield a weapon, shield, grapple, or perform somatic components for a spell. However, you can’t deploy the blade whilst holding anything. This weapon cannot be disarmed but takes an action to equip or remove. A hidden blade master has mastered the surprise attack with this assassin's weapon.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d4, Awkward, Conceal, Finesse, Light |
Martial | One Handed, Melee d4, Conceal, Finesse, Light |
Master | One Handed, Melee d4, Conceal, Finesse, Light |
Master Perk | Any critical hit deals maximum damage for the original damage roll, critical damage is still rolled. |
Interceptor
Interceptor is a generic term for any cloth or hide article of clothing which is used to deflect or intercept attacks, such as a thick wool cloak, silk scarf, war fan or umbrella. These are not weapons in the traditional sense, just durable articles of clothing, but can be just as effective in a duel as steel.
Wielding an interceptor gives you +1 Shield bonus to AC in addition to the effects below. The master can use an interceptor to catch missile weapons in flight before they strike, even for an ally.
Simple | You cannot wield an interceptor with simple training. |
Martial | One Handed, Conceal, Deflect(d6), Finesse, Light |
Master | One Handed, Conceal, Deflect(d8), Disarm, Entangle, Finesse, Light, Trip |
Master Perk | You may use the Deflect property against ranged weapons. When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. |
Knuckle Axe
Designed much like brass knuckles, but with a blade that sweeps back toward the forearm, either over the knuckles or over the side of the fist. The knuckle axe resembles an axe head with no handle, and either 4 finger holes or a curved handle to rest inside a closed fist. Masters with knuckle axes learn to slash through soft targets much like a real axe, attacking two targets at once. With martial or master proficiency you may treat these attacks as unarmed for any rule purposes.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d4, Awkward, Light |
Martial | One Handed, Melee d6, Deflect, Light |
Master | One Handed, Melee d6, Deflect, Light |
Master Perk | Once per turn when you beat the target AC by 5 or more you may make an additional melee attack to another creature adjacent to you. |
Side Baton
Often called a Tonfa, Riot Baton, or Arm Club, the Side Baton is a defensive weapon designed for deflecting attacks with one's own forearm. It consists of a stout club with a perpendicular handle attached a third of the way down the length. In use, the Side Baton can swing out to the grip for a strike or thrust. A master may also flip the side baton and grab it by the shaft to use the handle as a hook in combat.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d4, Light |
Martial | One Handed, Melee d6, Deflect, Light |
Master | One Handed, Melee d8, Deflect, Light, Trip |
Master Perk | Your deflect roll is d10, rather than d8, and you may add your proficiency to this roll. |
Unarmed Strikes
A creature with simple training can throw basic punches that are largely ineffective, while a creature with martial training can properly land punches and kicks, doing small amounts of damage. A master of unarmed strikes is as well trained as a traditional monk, though lacking the ki focus and mysticism the monk possesses. Your damage scales much like a monk's Martial Arts, according to the table below. You must have a free hand to use unarmed strikes
Your unarmed strikes do not count as weapon attacks until you have master training with them.
Simple | One handed, Melee d1, Awkward |
Martial | One handed, Melee d4, Finesse |
Master | One handed, Melee Table, Deflect, Disarm, Finesse, Light, Trip |
Master Perk | You may use your bonus action to perform a shove or disarm attack. |
Proficiency | Damage Die |
---|---|
+2 | d4 |
+3 | d6 |

Axe Style
- When dealing damage with an axe to a prone target deal an additional d8/d10/d12🡅 damage
- On your turn, when you roll a critical hit or reduce a target to 0 hit points with an axe, you can make another attack as part of the same action. This effect can happen multiple times per turn equal to your tier.
- Before you make a melee attack, you can choose to take a -3+Tier penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you add +5xTier to the attack's damage as a power bonus.
- You count as one size category larger for the purpose of weapon properties, such as trip or disarm.
Battle Axe
This is an axe about 2ft-3ft in length, with a longer beard designed for a wider slashing wound. This weapon is large enough to use with two hands for more powerful strikes, yet nimble enough to be used in one hand. Masters with the battle axe get more reliable damage out of the weapon.

Master Perk | You may reroll a damage dice result of 1 or 2 for both weapon damage and any attachers once |
Greataxe
The greataxe is the classic barbarian axe but also includes more historical versions such as the bardiche, voulge, or Dane axe. The greataxe has incredible potential for damage, and the master greataxe wielder can fell even the stoutest of foes with reliability not seen in many other weapon styles.

Master Perk | When you roll a critical hit, you can roll all damage and any modifiers twice and take the better result. |
Halberd
The halberd consists of an axe blade topped with a spike mounted on an 8ft long shaft. It always has a hook on the back side of the axe blade for grappling mounted combatants. With at least martial proficiency, a halberd can be used to perform a trip against mounted foes to pull them from the saddle to a prone position, and the master has advantage on this maneuver. .

Master Perk | Advantage on trip attacks made to mounted enemies and Large creatures. If you succeed on a trip against a mounted foe, both rider and its mount go to a prone position no save allowed. |
Handaxe
An incredibly versatile weapon and tool, the hand axe can be thrown, or used in melee, and can be used to trip your foe. The master learns the ability to bind and disarm.

Master Perk | You have advantage on attempts made to disarm enemies. |
Hook Sword
The hook sword is an exotic weapon made famous by the northern Chinese master. It is a shortsword length weapon in which the tip forms a prominent hook, and which the knuckle guard features a crescent shaped blade. A hook sword can easily catch weapons and limbs, giving it superior control over an enemy's movements.
The master can also hook with another hook sword for a unique means of trapping and binding enemies, as well as striking further by forming a makeshift flail by letting go of one hook sword and swinging it by the hook of the other sword you are currently holding.

Master Perk | Once per turn when you hit with a melee weapon attack, you can make an additional roll to Entangle or Disarm against that enemy. |
Khopesh
This axe sword hybrid was made famous by ancient egyptians. It is a sword built with a large crescent shaped protrusion about one third from the tip, and a hooked tip, forming a sort of question mark shape. It acts in every way similarly to a battle axe, but is lighter and can more reliably cut with a larger surface area. A Master with the Khopesh has learned to use the hooked point to drag or trip enemies to the ground with ease.

Master Perk | If you hit with a trip attack, your enemy's speed is reduced by half until the end of your next turn. While they have this penalty, they suffer disadvantage to Strength saving throws. |
Poleaxe
A Poleaxe is an infantry weapon designed for use against armored foes. It is characterized by an axe on one side with a hammer on the other, while tipped with a dagger-like spike from the top. It is typically on a 6ft shaft shod with iron to protect it from damage. Though not long enough for a reach weapon, its style resembles that of a quarterstaff. A master learns to use the weapon's iron shodding more actively, blocking attacks that would normally chop through the wood shaft.

Master Perk | While wielding a poleaxe, you gain +1 Shield bonus to AC and you may add your proficiency bonus to deflect rolls |
Tomahawk
The Tomahawk was invented and made famous by Native Americans, and featured a slimmer blade more balanced for throwing, and an opposing spike or small hammer so that even if the axe head missed, there was still a chance the weapon itself could deal some damage.
Tomahawks are balanced for throwing further distances than any other axe, and the master has learned to throw them with great force, using the hammer or spike's weight to drive the thinner axe head deeper into a target.

Bludgeon Style
- Once per turn when you damage a creature, their speed is reduced by 5 feet until they regain hit points or spend an action to remove this effect. The effect of this feature is cumulative with itself.
- When you score a critical hit, your enemy must succeed on a Constitution Saving Throw or be stunned until the end of your next round
- Once per turn, if you deal more damage in a single attack than the enemy's AC, the enemy must succeed on a constitution saving throw or be weakened until the end of your next turn.
Greatclub
The greatclub is simply a heavy, two-handed club,
though it can be refined like the Japanese Tetsubo.
A master of the greatclub can render a weapon nearly useless.

Martial | Two Handed, Melee d10, Disarm, Heavy |
Master | Two Handed, Melee d12, Disarm, Heavy, Stagger |
Master Perk | If you are successful in a disarm attempt, the enemy can no longer add proficiency to attacks with that weapon. |
Heavy Club
A heavy club is a one-handed mass weapon,
much like a bat or ball mace. A master can
target the head more easily, giving stuns that the
opponent can't shake off quite as easily.

Master Perk | When you score a critical hit, your stun will last d4 rounds. The enemy can repeat the save at the end of each round |
Light Club
A light club might be a simple sap or a metal bar, and many clubs designed for combat are designed to be thrown. A master learns to be extremely accurate to target a foe's head and knock them off balance.

Master Perk | On hit, you can choose to deal only your Strength modifier in damage but your foe must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or suffer disadvantage to its Saving Throws and all attacks against it have advantage until the end of your next turn |
Bar Mace
A bar mace is a stout iron bar that can be lined with spikes, or itself flanged to increase its damage and threat. Typically designed for low skilled military soldiers, a master with the bar mace has learned to use the weight and odd angles to pry weapons from his enemy's hands, and ruins the hands in the process.
Simple | Two Handed, Melee d6, Disarm |
Martial | One Handed, Melee d8, Disarm |
Master | One Handed, Melee d8, Deflect, Disarm |
Master Perk | If your disarm attempt succedes it also deals damage |
Flanged Mace
A mace is made up of a metal head with small bladed protrusions, attached to a simple wooden or metal shaft, designed specifically to hammer and shred armored enemies. This weapon deals slashing and bludgeoning damage at the same time, for the purpose of overcoming resistances or immunities. Masters with maces learn to punch through armor to damage those foes with ease.

Martial | One Handed, Melee d6 |
Master | One Handed, Melee d8 |
Master Perk | Against enemies wearing heavy or medium armor, you may roll damage twice and take the most favorable result, and also add your strength modifier to damage twice |
Mallet
A mallet is typically a crafter's tool, but can be repurposed for war. It consists of a wood haft inset within a large wooden cylinder. The wood construction means the mallet can be wide and soft, allowing for creative attacks in combat. A master can use the lightness of a mallet for a quick strike that sends the enemy reeling.

Master | One Handed, Melee d8, Thrown (30/90), Disarm |
Master Perk | You may attempt a shove as a bonus action. Any successful shove attempt also deals damage equal to your strength modifier. |
Maul
The maul is a massive weapon; a great hammer able to move the stoutest of foes. The weapon’s weight adds to its damage, and the master finds he can use the weapon’s mass to smash foes to the ground or send them flying.
Simple | Two Handed, Melee d12, Awkward, Heavy |
Martial | Two Handed, Melee 2d6, Heavy, Trip |
Master | Two Handed, Melee 2d8, Heavy, Trip |
Master Perk | When you score a critical hit, you deal damage and also trip. When the enemy fails a save against your trip, you can instead push them 10ft in any direction of your choosing. When you have advantage and both dice hit, you knock the target 10 ft. |
Quarterstaff
The simple staff is a useful double ended bludgeoning weapon, whether shod and weighted like the English quarterstaff, or simply made of strong bamboo, like the Japanese bo. A master learns to to strike with both ends so quickly and efficiently that they appear to be one strike.
Simple | Two Handed, Melee d6 |
Martial | Two Handed, Melee d8, Double d6 |
Master | Two Handed, Melee d8, Double d8 |
Master Perk | While using the Double property, you may add your ability modifier to damage, and you may use the Double property when you make an Opportunity Attack. |

Bow and Sling Style
- At the start of your turn, you can reduce your speed to zero and deal an additional d6🡅 damage with your ranged weapon attacks made before the start of your next turn.
- If an enemy misses you with an attack, as a reaction, you can either move up to half your movement which does not provoke Opportunity Attacks from them, OR roll a melee Trip attack against that enemy, provided you can see it.
- You can overdraw your shot, making the shot less accurate, but more powerful. Before you make a ranged attack with a ranged weapon with which you are proficient, you can choose to take a -3+Tier penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you add +5xTier to the attack's damage as a power bonus.
Bladed Bow
A bladed bow has two curved blades affixed to its limbs. Though not nearly as stout as a quarterstaff due to the flexibility of the bow itself, it is nonetheless an easy way to protect yourself when the enemy closes. The bladed bow is very specialized and requires dedicated training to be anything but clumsy. In the hands of a master, the bladed bow is as dangerous as a dual wielder.

Master Perk | When you attack an enemy with the melee property of this weapon you do not provoke opportunity attacks from them until the end of this current turn |
Compound Bow
A compound bow is about the size of a shortbow, but consists of two pulleys on its steel limbs which allow the user to load exponentially more force. Its stopping power punches with Longbows. A master with the Compound can overdraw the impressive power of the Compound for devastating effect.

Master | Two Handed, Ranged d10 (100/140) |
Master Perk | When you overdraw you deal an additional d8🡅 damage. |
Greatbow
A greatbow is a bow much taller and stouter than the longbow, and fires specialized great arrows that are similar in size to a javelin. Greatbow masters have learned to overdraw the stout poundage, sending enemies flying back. You must have a Strength score of at least 13 to wield a Greatbow.
Simple | Two Handed, Ranged d10 (100/400), Awkward, Heavy |
Martial | Two Handed, Ranged d12 (200/400), Heavy |
Master | Two Handed, Ranged 2d6 (200/400), Heavy |
Master Perk | When you score a hit, your enemy must succeed on a strength saving throw or be shoved 5ft in a straight line away from you, on a critical you may also knock them prone on failed save. Larger creatures have advantage on this save. |
Longbow
A longbow has a larger power stroke than a shortbow, meaning the arrow is drawn further and has a higher draw weight. This, combined with the larger size, usually 5ft-6ft long, mean the bow is much more powerful, but perhaps a bit more cumbersome in close combat and atop a mount. A master with a longbow has learned to steady his aim and ignore all distractions impeding accuracy.

Martial | Two Handed, Ranged d10 (120/300), Heavy |
Master | Two Handed, Ranged d10 (120/300), Heavy |
Master Perk | If you suffer disadvantage for any reason, you can use your reaction to attempt a concentration check against DC10 or half your target's AC, whichever is higher. If you succeed, your disadvantage is negated for this current turn. |
Recurve
A recurve bow is usually shorter, in the 3ft-4ft range, but has a greater power stroke than a bow of its size. Due to the shorter overall size but higher draw, the master can quickly target close enemies without detriment.
Simple | Two Handed, Ranged d8 (60/80) |
Martial | Two Handed, Ranged 2d4 (80/100) |
Master | Two Handed, Ranged 2d4 (80/100) |
Master Perk | You do not have disadvantage when shooting at enemies who are within 5ft of you. Note you still have disadvantage when shooting at any other target while an enemy is adjacent to you. |
Shortbow
A short bow is about 3 feet in length and usually very portable. It is more suited to close combat, as its smaller size lends itself to agile movement and quick targeting on either side of the body.
Simple | Two Handed, Ranged d6 (50/80) |

Master | Two Handed, Ranged d8 (60/90) |
Master Perk | Before or after each attack made with the bow you may move 5ft for free, this moment does not provoke opportunity |
Sling
A sling is a simple leather cup with cords that allow the user to launch rounded bullets with circular momentum. One of the oldest range weapons known, it is both simple and effective at delivering a crushing blow at medium range. You can use rounded stones or small bits of anything that can fit into the leather cup.

Martial | One Handed, Conceal, Ranged d4 (30/60) |
Master | One Handed, Conceal, Melee d6, Ranged d6 (30/60), Light |
Master Perk | When you overdraw the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage to attacks until the end of its next turn |
Wrist Shot
Using stretchable or spring loaded materials, the wrist shot shoots rounded bullets much like a sling, though uses the power of elasticity of the material rather than gathered circular momentum. Masters with wrist shots can bounce shots around corners and off hard surfaces to attack enemies in even total cover.

Combat Blade Style
- While wielding a sword, when you take the dodge action, you can make a single melee attack at disadvantage.
- You have advantage on opportunity attacks
Bastard Sword
The Bastard Sword is the child of the Longsword and the Greatsword, a weapon in length between the two that uses techniques from either parent. A master of the bastard sword learns to deal greater damage against larger targets, using the weapon’s leverage to create more powerful strikes.
Simple | Two Handed, Melee d10, Awkward, Heavy |
Martial | Two Handed, Melee d12, Heavy |
Master | One Handed, Melee d12, Heavy, Versatile 2d6 |
Master Perk | You gain a +1 power bonus to your critical hit range. You may deal an additional d8🡅 to Large and larger enemies. |
Broadsword
True broadswords have a wider, thicker blade to add power to the blow, and often have a single edge to give more weight to the blade, like the Falchion, Messer, Seax, or Chinese Dadao. Because of this the weapon performs much like an axe in the strike. A master learns to strike truer, and gain more damage dealt to soft targets.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d8, Awkward |
Martial | One Handed, Melee 2d4 |
Master | One Handed, Melee 3d4 |
Master Perk | When you hit a target wearing no armour or light armour you may roll damage twice and take the most favorable result, and also add your strength modifier to damage twice |
Greatsword
The greatsword is often as tall as its wielder, spanning in the 5ft-6ft range with a 2ft handle. The long blade, wide handle, and added weight make the greatsword one of the most damaging melee weapons in use, and can easily dispatch opponents with ease.
Simple | Two Handed, Melee 2d6, Awkward, Heavy |

Master | Two Handed, Melee 2d8, Heavy |
Master Perk | When you roll a 1 on the weapon damage dice and any attachers, you may re-roll the result once |
Katana
The Katana, made famous by the Japanese, is a single edged, slightly curved sword with a minimal guard called a tsuba and a longer handle than western or middle eastern swords. the longer handle and curved edge provides different leverage and lends to more effective deflections. A master can dual wield with a Katana deflecting two attacks, or with two hands to single katana, deflect even powerful blows with ease.

Master Perk | Your deflect dice is 2d10 if you use this weapon with two hands. With one hand, you may add your proficiency bonus to your deflect rolls. |
Longsword
The longsword is a multipurpose cutting and thrusting weapon, with a wide guard for dueling, and includes the cruciform fencing sword, along with similar western european weapons. Generally, the blade is between 3ft-4ft, with a 10"-12" handle. Masters learn to become more rapier-like with more finesse overall.

Master Perk | You gain a +1 to all attack rolls |
Montante
The Montante was a type of greatsword made famous by western Europeans, prized for its reach and seen as the perfect weapon against multiple assailants. It is similar in length to a polearm, has similar reach and can even use similar techniques thanks to a smaller handle above the crossguard called a Ricasso, just without the ability to brace as many polearms do. The Master has learned to use the parrying hooks to great effect, keeping herself safe from attacks with clever use of the guard.

Master Perk | You have +1 Shield bonus to AC while wielding this weapon, you negate any bonus any enemy might have on you from having an ally/opponent near you, including bonuses such as Pack Tactics or Sneak Attack. |
Scimitar
A single-handed, curved sword, similar in dimension to the longsword. Unfortunately, unlike the longsword, the scimitar is usually fitted with a handle too small to allow two-handed wielding, but the master learns to use the curve as a means to deflect and is an expert at using the curve while mounted.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d6, Awkward |
Martial | One Handed, Melee d6, Finesse, Light |
Master | One Handed, Melee d8, Deflect, Finesse, Light |
Master Perk | When you choose to deflect, you may roll twice and take the better result. Additionally, if you travel at least 15ft before you make an attack, your weapon deals an additional d8🡅 slashing damage for the next attack. To deal this extra damage again, you must travel an additional 20 feet, choosing the same or different target. |
Short Glaive
A short glaive is a glaive weapon with a shorter handle, usually in the range of length of a greatsword, but much lighter as the metal blade is smaller and most of the weapon is wooden haft. A short glaive is favored among elven armies as an effective long weapon that is both heavy hitting and light enough to use with finesse. Masters of the short glaive find the weapon can swing through soft targets, converting the momentum into another attack if they’re lucky.

Crossbow Style
- If a target is within 10ft of you, you can choose another target within your crossbow's normal range in a straight line from you through your first target, and to the second. If you hit the closer target, you can also roll to attack the further target for free, hitting both targets with the same piece of ammunition.
- Once per turn you may target a hostile creature within 5ft of yourself without disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack.
- When you have advantage on an attack, you may roll 3d20, instead of 2, and take the most favorable result.
Reload Times
Remember that from fastest to slowest, reload times are: Part of Attack, Free Object, Reaction, Bonus, Attack, Action.
Blowgun
Blowguns are used to deliver poison from a distance,
as the needle-like dart is often too small to cause
serious damage. They are nearly silent when shot, and
do not reveal your location if you attack from stealth
and miss. A blowgun can be shot with one hand but
requires two to reload. A master uses the art of the
flying viper, shooting two shots at once, and
reloading with a single hand.
Simple | One Handed, Ranged d1 (25/40), Awkward. Reload Free Object |
Martial | One Handed, Ranged d2 (25/50), Reload Part of Attack. |
Master | One Handed, Ranged d4 (25/50), Light, Reload Part of Attack. |
Master Perk | The blowgun can be loaded with two darts. You must choose two targets within your normal range that are within 5 ft of one another but may attack each target separately with the same attack. |
Hand Crossbow
A hand crossbow is a hand drawn bow released with a pistol trigger. The limbs are weaker than most other crossbows, and can only launch the bolt a short distance, but being able to pull the drawstring back without mechanical assistance means it can be reloaded very quickly. A master can reload one-handed using hook points on the bolt case.
Simple | One Handed, Ranged d6 (20/60), Light, Reload Reaction |
Martial | One Handed, Ranged d6 (30/60) Light, Reload Free Object |

Master Perk | Can be reloaded with one hand. If wielded in your off-hand you may make an attack with this weapon as a bonus action, regardless of if you've taken the attack action. |
Heavy Crossbow
Heavy crossbows load a thousand pounds of force, allowing it to punch targets like a barbarian's axe. Because of this power, you must draw a heavy crossbow by turning a winch to pull the drawstring back. A master arbalist uses the crossbow stability to make the weapon more reliable
Simple | Two Handed, Ranged d10+3 (60/100), Heavy, Reload Attack |

Hidden Crossbow
This is a mechanical, wrist-mounted crossbow, similar to a hidden blade. The hand this weapon is equipped to is open, allowing it to wield a weapon, shield, grapple, or perform somatic components for a spell. However, you can’t wield a weapon or shield and also use the hidden crossbow from the same hand. This weapon cannot be disarmed, but takes 1 action to equip or remove. The master can launch a bolt in melee with the slightest distraction.

Master Perk | If an enemy misses you with an attack, you can use your reaction to make a ranged attack against it. If you hit you may move 10ft without provoking opportunity attacks. |
Light Crossbow
You draw a light crossbow back by pulling a lever. A master learns to move and shoot with the light crossbow so efficiently he can reactively shoot moving targets at melee range, threatening all squares near him as if he had a melee weapon.

Master Perk | You threaten 10ft around you as if you had a melee weapon. Other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter this reach |
Mauler
A crossbow with two bows mounted in an X shape, the drawstring is attached to a triangle mechanism that holds 3 bolts at once. The complicated loading means this weapon takes longer to reload than other weapons. Even with 4 limbs, the 3 bolts leave with less power than a hand crossbow and don’t have good grouping at distance. Still, the mauler creates deadly wounds and is renowned for reliability. Masters can group the bolts at weak points, creating wounds few recover from.
Due to the spread of the bolts over a distance, if the mauler is used on medium or smaller targets outside the normal range it only does d4 damage; only the top bolt hits. Targets Large and larger are big enough to take all bolts at any range.

Portable Ballista
Portable Ballista is a hand held siege weapon. Though it takes quite a while to reload, siege damage is well worth the wait. You reload by turning a crank, providing several thousand pounds of force to a javelin. A Master can use flanking surfaces to pin a target. This weapon begins the fight unloaded

Master Perk | The crossbow mastery two-target range is 50ft. Additionally, you may start with the weapon loaded |
Spinner
Spinner looks a modern pistol, but instead of limbs, it has internal mechanisms to launch a coin blade. Masters can ricochet the blade off one target's weak spot into another nearby. It holds 20 blades and reloading is part of the attack, though when depleted, it takes an Action to reload with 20 more.

Dueling Blade Style
- On your turn, you can spend your reaction to choose a single target. Until the start of your next turn, your weapon gains the deflect property, and can deflect all weapon attacks the chosen target makes against you.
- If a creature within 5ft of you takes an attack action against another creature other than you, you may use your reaction to attack that creature.
- You may as a bonus action, prepare your weapon to pierce your target's defenses with an exceptionally forceful strike. Once before the end of your next turn, when you Attack you can make a special melee attack. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw against your weapon. The creature has advantage or disadvantage on this Dexterity saving throw, depending on whether or not a normal attack would have. If it fails, it takes damage as if you had hit it with a normal melee attack.
Dagger
Any blade about forearm length and smaller can be called a dagger, and there are as many styles of daggers as there are cultures in existence. The master can make blinding fast attacks even while she focuses her attention elsewhere.

Kukri
A large, curved blade, with the cutting edge on
the inside of the curve. Performing much like
a handaxe, the weapon has the potential for
serious wounds in the hands of a master.

Rapier
The rapier is a long, thin sword, designed with minimum weight for maximum accuracy with the tip. Prized as the pinnacle of finesse, masters learn how to properly strike forth in a lunge, learn expert parries, and use a rapier in the off hand.
Simple | One Handed d8, Melee, Awkward |
Martial | One Handed d8, Melee, Finesse |

Master Perk | If you are wielding a rapier and nothing in your off hand, you can add d4🡅 to your damage and deflect roll. If you are wielding a light weapon, instead add +1 Shield bonus to AC. |
Saber
A saber describes a wide variety of weapons that all share a few properties in common; one-handed, single-edged, slight curve, and little or no counterweight to add cutting power to the blades. Examples are the cavalry saber, shamshir, and officer’s sword. The master finds the saber’s curve and hand protection give incredible defense.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d6, Awkward |
Martial | One Handed, Melee d8, Finesse |
Master | One Handed, Melee 2d4, Deflect, Finesse, Light |
Master Perk | If an enemy hits you with a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to add your proficiency to your AC, possibly negating a successful hit. This added bonus to AC lasts for that enemy's turn only. |
Sai
A sai is a dagger sized weapon made famous in Okinawa, which consists of a sharpened metal rod with two forward swept, elongated prongs for a hand guard, making it easy to block and trap enemy weapons, but this template can be used for any parrying dagger designed primarily to block. Since only the tip is sharpened, the sai suffers from damage capability and versatility, but easily the best light weapon for the duelist looking for a bit of protection. The master uses the parrying prongs to disarm blindingly fast, and even gains a passive protection from her stance.

Master Perk | You gain +1 Shield bonus to AC if you are wielding a Sai in your off hand and you can perform a disarm attack with advantage as a reaction when an enemy misses you with a melee weapon attack. |
Shortsword
This category consists of any thrusting or chopping blade longer than a dagger, but shorter than a full-sized sword. Examples include a cutlass, wakizashi, or machete. The master learns to gain every bit of damage out of the shortsword.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d6, Finesse, Light |
Martial | One Handed, Melee d6, Finesse, Light |
Master | One Handed, Melee d8, Finesse, Light |
Master Perk | When you have advantage on the attack, you can roll damage twice and take the better result, including any attachers. |
Sickle
A wooden handle with a short, crescent-shaped blade with the cutting edge on the inside of the curve, derived from the farming tool. The crescent can be used to trip a target, and a master learns to use the curve of the weapon to grapple and bind enemies when the point sinks into a target.

Smallsword
The smallsword is a light weapon designed for thrusting which evolved out of the longer and heavier rapier. It has a triangular profile and a pistol grip, giving the fullest control over the tip over any other weapon design. The master has such control over her thrusting tip, she can negate a detriment to her attack with focus.

Flail and Whip Style
- You ignore any shield bonus your target would gain to their AC
- When you hit with an opportunity attack, the foe must succeed on a strength saving throw or be knocked prone
- You gain advantage on any attack made to attempt a Trip, Disarm, or Entangle.
Double Flail
This flail has two flail heads, each with a separate chain attached to a single handle, whether they are attached at opposing ends, or attached at the same end. The double flail is a difficult weapon to use effectively, and only the master really gets use out of individual heads, turning a potential miss into a new opportunity.

Master | One Handed, Melee 2d4, Heavy, Trip, Versatile 2d8 |
Master Perk | When you suffer disadvantage but one dice would have hit, you deal 1 of the weapon's damage dice plus your strength modifier, but this still counts as a miss. If you have advantage and both dice hit, add your ability modifier twice. |
Light Flail
The familiar handle with a spiked ball at the end of a chain, or two clubs linked by a rope like a nunchaku, which deals both bludgeoning and piercing damage at the same time, for the purposes of overcoming resistances or immunities. Masters with the light flail learns to carry the weapons speed and momentum into another attack if they miss.

Martial | One Handed, Melee d6, Disarm, Trip |
Master | One Handed, Melee d6, Disarm, Light, Trip |
Master Perk | If you miss with an attack, you may use your reaction to make one extra attack |
Heavy Flail
A heavy flail consists of a long handle with a spiked metal ball like the end of a morningstar, which is attached by means of chain or swivel. The heavy flail is an immense weapon, but the master learns to wield it one-handed, and can turn a failed trip or disarm attempt into a strike that still damages.

Whip
The whip is treated as a melee weapon with 15ft reach. You can use a whip to grasp unattended small objects, or any reasonable handhold within range with a melee attack vs AC10 and if possible, you can pull the object to you. A whip master has such control over his grasping whip, he can manipulate objects at will.

Master | One Handed, Melee d6, Disarm, Entangle, Finesse, Light, Reach (15ft), Trip |
Master Perk | When you disarm any creature, you choose to place the item anywhere in your reach, or catch it as a reaction. |
Meteor Hammer
This weapon is a spherical or conical weight attached to a 15-foot rope. Used as a more brutal form of a rope dart, the meteor hammer is capable of using both circular movement as a weapon and as a bind and can be slung forward at great reach. A master with the meteor hammer finds great utility in the weapon, despite its difficulty of use and low damage.

Master Perk | As a bonus action, you begin twirling the hammer around you in a 10ft radius. Until the start of your next turn, any creature of your choice which starts its turn or which enters this space must succeed on a dexterity save on failure it counts as being hit by your melee attack. |
Nunchaku
Made famous in Okinawa, the nunchaku are two rods bound by a rope or chain. By whipping around the body, it can make dizzyingly fast attacks, and use the chain to bind or trip. Nunchaku perform much like a Double ended weapon. The master can build such speed and momentum he can strike three times in the normal span of two.

Master Perk | You may use the double property whilst using one hand and if you are wielding a single Nunchaku and have a free hand, you may make a 2 attacks with your Double attack. |
Pole Flail
A weapon of hafted reach, though instead of an axe or blade, there is the spiked bar of the heavy flail, which deals bludgeoning and piercing damage at the same time. The pole flail is primarily designed for field warfare, for reaching over enemy lines, and thus the master learns to use its sweeping attack for getting around any guard, not just around shields.

Chain Sword
Perhaps the most exotic weapon on this list, the chain sword can be both a sword or a whip-like weapon made of bladed links. As a bonus action, you can change between the two forms of your weapon. As a sword, it functions similarly to a longsword. As a whip, it becomes much like a normal whip, but unable to grasp items or handholds. However, while entangling an enemy, it takes your weapon's damage at the start of its turn. A master can quickly change between forms as needed.

Hammer and Pick Style
- Whenever you have advantage on attacks and both dice would hit, you knock the target prone or shove them 5ft
- When an opponent stands up from prone whilst within your reach, you may make an opportunity attack against them.
- If you miss with a melee attack and you wouldn't otherwise still deal damage on the miss, you deal damage to your original target equal to your Strength modifier. This damage receives no modifiers or other benefits you normally gain to weapon damage.
Light Hammer
The light hammer is a short-handled, blunt warhammer balanced for throwing. While a flanged mace may shred armor, a hammer is able to more precisely deliver blows that weaken the bearer of that armor, and a master can even weaken a user enough that movement seems impossible.

Master Perk | If your attack is at least 5 higher than the AC, your enemy's speed is reduced by half until the start of your next turn. |
War Hammer
The historical warhammer was a lightweight,
long-handled weapon designed to damage
armored enemies. The small, pronged hammer
head is often backed with a military pick or different
style of face. A master of the warhammer cares little
for armor, blasting through it with ease

Master Perk | You may as a bonus action gain the pierce property with this weapon until the start of your next turn. |
Morningstar
This is an infantry weapon in the form of a thick wooden shaft up to 8 feet in length, slightly fluted toward the top, with a spiked head and topped with a stout iron spike. This weapon deals piercing and bludgeoning damage at the same time, for the purpose of overcoming resistances or immunities. A master with a morning star can absolutely ruin armor, rendering it less effective for its wearer.

Master Perk | When you score a critical hit against an enemy, you reduce the enemy armor's AC by an amount equal to your Strength modifier until the end of your next turn. |
Lucerne
This polearm has both a pronged hammer head for crushing blows and a spiked head for piercing and peeling armor. The long shaft allows the wielder to put devastating force behind the head of this weapon. Lucerne masters learn to destroy shields and armor with relative ease.

Master Perk | As an attack, you can destroy the shield worn by the enemy. Make an attack roll verses a Dexterity saving throw made with advantage on failed save the shield is lost |
Light Pick
Though not as stout and easily able to puncture armor like the war pick, the light pick allows more agile maneuvers, as well as balanced throwing. A master has learned to look for the perfect opening, placing the pick into soft targets in armor.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d4, Thrown (10/40) Finesse, Light |

Master Perk | You may as a bonus action gain a d6🡅 to your attack rolls agaisnt a chosen target for this turn |
Wall Pick
A wall pick is also called a climbing pick, and has been repurposed for combat. It is similar in size to the light pick, though has a longer spike at a more hooked angle to aid in climbing. In combat, this can be used to great effect to grapple an opponent or disarm them quite easily. While using a wall pick, you have a climb speed equal to your speed. The master can swing and spike in the same motion, causing all his attacks to snag an enemy, and can even bind up her foe

Master Perk | You have advantage on Entangle attacks, and if both dice would have hit, your target takes the weapon dice in damage. |
War Pick
The War Pick comes in many forms but is usually a battle axe sized weapon with a reinforced spike on one end, and a widened, sharpened scoop or hammer opposite the spike. Often the shaft is made with iron banding to reinforce.
Simple | One Handed, Melee d8, Awkward |
Martial | One Handed, Melee d8, Trip |

Master Perk | You can choose to attack at disadvantage, If successful your target loses hp equal to your strength modifier at the end of their turn. If the creature receives any healing, this ends the effect. This ability is cumulative with itself. |
Stiletto
The stiletto is a long, thin dagger-like weapon made for puncturing armor with ease. It's thin, needle-like point and narrow cross section make it perfect for fitting between armor plates, or outright puncturing through them, and so deeply it allows the user to stab and hold an enemy. A stiletto allows a user to find a weakness in even the most heavily armored foes, but a master has learned to use the needle-point with such accuracy that his foes may as well not even be wearing armor.

Polearm Style
- All Polearm weapons are treated as having the Double property. Your normal attacks are made with the weapon's damage die, while your attack with Double is made with [d4].
- While you are wielding the polearm, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter the reach of your weapon.
Glaive
Perhaps the simplest of the polearms, a glaive is a sword blade, usually about 36-40 inches mounted on a 4-6 foot pole, creating a 6-8 foot weapon. A Glaive can be used like a spear or like a greatsword. And a master can make wide sweeping slashes to all nearby opponents. Sometimes referred to as a horse killer, the Glaive was originally designed to be used by infantry against cavalry, but in the hands of a master adventurer.

Master Perk | As part of your attack action you may replace one attack with a special attack to make a melee weapon attack against any number of creatures within 10 feet of you, with a separate attack roll for each target. |
Guisarme
A guisarme is a modified pruning hook, developed as a peasant weapon from modifying a farm tool. The curved hook of the blade allows the guisarme to be used as a tripping weapon. With at least martial proficiency, a Guisarme can be used to perform a trip against mounted foes to pull them from the saddle to a prone position. Guisarme masters get advantage on trip maneuvers
Simple | Two Handed, Melee d8, Brace, Reach, Trip, Heavy |
Martial | Two Handed, Melee d10, Brace, Reach, Trip, Heavy |
Master | Two handed, Melee d10, Brace, Reach, Trip, Heavy |
Master Perk | You have advantage on trip attacks made to targets at 10ft away from you, and if you succeed against a mounted foe, it is automatically pulled from its mount to a prone position and takes your damage as if you had hit them |
Lajatang
A lajatang is a rare and unusual double weapon. It consists of a three to five foot shaft with a crescent blade fitted at each end with the points away from the center of the weapon. The rare masters of the Lajatang are a whirling dervish of blade and crescent points and are dangerous from all sides.

Martial | Two Handed, Melee d8, Double d8, Brace, Finesse, Reach |
Master | Two Handed, Melee d10, Double d10, Brace, Finesse, Reach |
Master Perk | So dangerous at front and back with your weapon, you negate any bonus any enemy might have on you from having an ally/opponent near you, including bonuses such as Pack Tactics or Sneak Attack. |
Partisan
A partisan is much like a Glaive in that the design is essentially a sword blade mounted to a long shaft. However, the partisan retains the crossguard, and is very effective at protection from range, though the guard prevents it from making sweeping, cleaving cuts like the glaive. The Master Partisan uses the crossguard of his weapon with great effect at a distance.

Martial | Two Handed, Melee 2d6, Brace, Reach, Heavy |
Master | Two Handed, Melee 2d6, Brace, Reach, Lunge, Heavy |
Master Perk | Enemies that are 10ft or more away from you have disadvantage on melee attacks against you. When an enemy targets an ally within 5ft of you with a melee attack, they have disadvantage on that attack. |
War Scythe
Whether mounted horizontally like a traditional farming implement, or mounted vertically like a glaive, a war scythe has its roots in a peasant militia looking to arm itself in times of war. A scythe in the right hands can be useful in combat, though it takes a practiced user to be truly effective. The master uses the scythe's reaping motion to deal horrible slashing wounds to the foes he trips in combat.
Simple | Two Handed, Melee 2d6, Heavy, Reach, Trip |
Martial | Two Handed, Melee 2d6, Heavy, Entangle, Reach, Trip |
Master | Two handed, Melee 2d8, Heavy, Entangle, Reach, Trip |
Master Perk | When you successfully trip an enemy, that enemy takes the weapon dice in damage, and has its speed reduced to just 10ft until the end of its next turn. |
Mounted Combat Reminder
Remember the following while fighting mounted combatants!
- If an effect moves a mount against its will, the rider must succeed on a DC10 Dexterity saving throw, or fall off the mount, landing prone within 5ft of it
- If the rider is knocked prone while in the saddle, it must also make this save
- If the mount is knocked prone, the rider can use its reaction to land safely on its feet within 5ft of the prone mount, otherwise it too falls prone.
Therefore, when you attempt a trip attack against a mounted foe and succeed, the foe can still succeed on a different save and stay in the saddle while the mount whisks them away to safety!

Spear Style
- Your attacks against a mount cannot be redirected
- You may lunge with any spear, which does
not use your reaction - Once per turn, if you have advantage on an attack
roll, you can forgo the advantage for that roll to make an additional weapon attack against that target, as part of the same action. Any remaining attacks still have advantage.
Godendag
A godendag is a spear from western europe with a thick socket holding the point, heavy enough to use as a bludgeon. The style of fighting with a godendag involves swinging and thrusting, both utilizing the spear's weighted head and pointed tip in combat. A master can stun his foe, and even uses the weapon's weight to trip or disarm.

You can also target the shield by taking disadvantage on your attack. The shield targeting attack still damages if it hits |
Harpoon
The harpoon is a heavy, barbed throwing spear with a socketed head which has a shaped hook that embeds itself into the target of the attack. It is attached to a length of rope as long as the user wishes so that it can be retrieved on a miss with a bonus action.

War Spear
A war spear is different from a simple spear in that it is designed to resist cutting its shaft, and has weight in the pommel, making it more balanced for martial techniques. A war spear can be used as a throwing weapon, but not as effectively as a javelin.

Ravenbeak
A ravenbeak is a spear that looks similar to a warspear but has a crescent shaped hook on one side of the tip, which can be used to hook or slash. The hook is often sharpened and can be devastating if used properly. A master is an expert at manipulating the enemy with the hook and tip.

Throwing Weapon Style
- When you throw a weapon, you draw another weapon freely. Additionally, when you throw with your off hand add your ability modifier to the damage roll.
- Throwing a weapon ignores half cover.
- You threaten 10ft around you and can make an Opportunity Attack if an enemy leaves this area.
Bolas
A bolas is a pair of weights, connected by a thin rope
or cord reinforced with metal links to prevent the
prey from simply biting or tearing the bolas to escape.
The master bolo learns to accurately target his prey,
bringing them down by binding the legs.
A bolas has an AC of 15 and 2HP and is immune to bludgeoning damage. When your enemy succeeds at a
save to escape or reduces the bolas to 0hp, it is destroyed.

Chakram
The chakram is an elegant and highly portable thrown weapon. It is a flat, open-centered metal discus with a sharpened edge.

Throwing Knife
These small pocket knives are much smaller than any dagger, and resemble more utility knives or paring knives than real weapons. However, they offer more range when thrown due to slightly more weight in their handles.

Orc Throwing Shot
An Orc Throwing Shot is a weighty, round ball used offensively as a thrown weapon. A creature must take time to wind up and throw the shot. A master is deadly accurate with the shot and is able to target an enemy's head to smash them stunned. A creature with Strength less than 13 cannot wield a shot at all, regardless of his level of training.

Net
A net is used to entangle enemies. A large or smaller creature hit by a net is restrained until freed. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net. A net cannot be used against Huge or larger enemies.

Spellcasting Focuses
Proficiency
When using a spellcasting focus you may ignore any free hand requirements that a spell may have, as you instead channel your spells through the focus.
You may only use one focus at a time when spellcasting. For example whilst possible to hold both a Wand and a Rod you may only cast your spell through one of them gaining either the extra damage or the chance to increase the attack roll. You must make it clear which focus you are using before casting.
You may however gain the benefit of a focus after the cast has been made. For example you can cast hold person using crystals in case you need to reduce the enemies saving throw, then later use an orb in your other hand to force a re-roll of a successful save against the ongoing effect of the spell.
Orb
The orb is a precious stone polished and rounded into a sphere. Mastering the orb allows the cater to maintain a greater hold on their victims.

Instrument
The musical instrument when played correctly can provide the necessary components of a spell. Mastering it gives the user higher mobility.
Tags | Two-Handed |
Master Perk | Before or after each spell you cast you may move 5ft for free, this movement doesn't provoke opportunity. In addition any ally you cast a spell on may also move 5ft for free without provoking |
Preserved Creature
Often mistaken for a familiar, the mummified remains of some small creature, often a newt or rat can aid the spellcaster in timing their spells perfectly as the necromantic energy in the creature's preserved brain improves reaction time.
Tags | One-Handed, Light |
Master Perk | When you ready an action to cast a spell you do not need to hold concentration on it and the mana/spell slot is only expended on the spell triggering. |
Crystals
A cluster of crystals held in the hand allows those who master them to better focus their spell energy to harm their opponents

Rules for the Mount and Rider
Rules for mounted combat in 5e are slightly problematic to balance in the arena. Therefore the arena uses rules for mounted combat that originated from 4e.
A mount and rider follow these rules while the rider is mounted.
Space
The rider and mount both occupy the mount's space and are considered adjacent to each other. However, the origin square of any of the rider's powers and other effects does not change to the mount's size. Whenever the rider uses an effect that has an origin square (such as a melee, a ranged, a close, or an area power), the rider first picks where that square is located in the mount's space, and the effect uses that origin square (the rider still shares the mount's space for the purpose of triggering effects, such as opportunity attacks).
For instance, if a Medium rider uses a spell that extends 10 foot from themselves, the rider chooses a single square within the mount's space, and the burst emanates from that square.
Initiative
The mount and rider act on the rider's initiative count, even if the mount had a different initiative before the rider mounted it. The two continue to act on the same initiative count after the rider dismounts.
Actions
An adventurer and his or her mount have a shared set of actions: a standard action, a move action, and a bonus action. The player chooses how the two creatures divide up the set of actions on the adventurer's turn. Most commonly, the mount takes a move action to move, and the adventurer takes an action to attack.
The adventurer and the mount also share a single reaction each round. If one of the creatures can't take actions, the shared set of actions is still available to the other creature.
If the adventurer dismounts, the two still share one set of actions on that turn, but have separate sets of actions on subsequent turns.
Attacks
While not being ridden, a mount will not attack on its own. Whilst unmounted you may choose to have your mount disengage and move using its own actions after your turn. Otherwise it stays in place.
If the rider uses an action to allow the mount to attack or it attacks through any means the rider may add their proficiency bonus to the attack roll.
Squeezing
When the mount squeezes, the rider is also considered to be squeezing.
Targeting the Mount and Rider
Even though the mount and rider occupy the same space, they are still separate creatures and are targeted separately. For instance, an attack that targets only one creature can target either the mount or the rider, not both. In contrast, area attacks can affect both mount and rider, since the two are in the same space.
Provoking Opportunity Attacks
If the mount's movement provokes an opportunity attack, the attacker chooses to target either the mount or the rider, since the two of them move together.
Forced Movement
If an effect moves your mount against its will while you're on it, you must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall off the mount, landing prone in a space within 5 feet of it. If you're knocked prone while mounted, you must make the same saving throw.
If your mount is knocked prone, you can use your reaction to dismount it as it falls and land on your feet. Otherwise, you are dismounted and fall prone in a space within 5 feet it.
Teleportation
If either the mount or the rider is teleported, the other does not teleport with it. If the mount is teleported without the rider, the rider is dismounted and falls prone.
Health
All mount health will scale with your character level, as listed on the stat blocks below.
Armour
You may add your proficiency bonus to your mounts AC unless you calculate their AC a different way.
Death
Mounts are treated like equipment, so any mount you have purchased that dies during a fight will be repaired (Revived) at the end of the fight and ready to join in the 2nd round.
Levels
A Riding horse is level 1, higher level mounts ar avaialable through features and the saddle enchantment.

- Tier advancement is now the only way to gain mastery in weapons (and magic focuses)
Rules
- Boost dice 🡅 This change is one of the larger ones, make sure to check it
- Conditions have been changed and now are joined with Boons. Some new conditions have also been included and many conditions have changed somewhat.
- Hidden gets a big change
- Jumping nerfed
- Moving as a large creature changed
- 3 round rule, not 5 rounds. But matches are now only 6 rounds total
- Flanking grants a boost dice now, not a flat bonus
- No re rolling re-rolls
- Spellcasting focus / free hand has more emphasis
- Rules for different player counts exist, so any count should be viable. (most games I play are 2 or 3 player so it irked me that it wasn't really a thing)

This is the largest overhaul of the season. Everything has changed with spell options. All spells are now divided into schools. I expect balance of these will be an ongoing thing, with damage tweaks and modifications being required throughout the season.

Huge thankyou too reddit user Veritoss43 who made the "Revised Martial Equipment" homebrew. I used this heavily for the martial classes in the Arena.
Many subclass ideas are inspired by "The middle finger of Vecna" blog
Thanks to all the roll20 users who helps and are still helping playtest this.
