Foreword

I like martials—I feel this is a requirement to write a whole document about them over the course of two or more years. However, something that has always bugged me about the martials of the game are that I feel a majority of the nonmagical subclasses in the game either don't exist or are very outshined by their magical counterparts. Even though magic is meant to be intrinsically tied to basically everything in the game, the fantasy of someone just being skilled or strong enough to match the might of magic is something I love and wanted. As such, I wrote this document to tweak the existing classes, add plenty of nonmagical options to martial classes, and add plenty of martial options for classes that get spellcasting. I am by no means perfect and I am heavily biased towards certain design philosophies, but I hope these options are well liked enough for you to use in your own games that allow for homebrew to be used. ## Notable Aspects ### System Reference Document Only All additions given in this document were limited to to only referencing the D&D 5e SRD. However, many of the items, features, spells, and other additions should work in tandem with options not present within the SRD. As an aside, this design philosophy just makes it easier for me to use these options in online virtual tabletops without even more copying and pasting—I'm a bit lazy. ### Concise Each option should only requires one page to run but may grant customization options over the span of multiple pages. The only notable expection to this rule is the Duelist Martial Archetype from the Fighter class. ### "Second Page" Designer Notes For each subclass, I added an additional page dedicated to making the option integrate into whatever world or game its used for in an as smooth of a way as I could think up. For players, I added a quick build section for those not sure how they should create a character with the subclass as well as a gameplay loop the subclass generally follows, allowing the player to not worry about trying to figure out what they're supposed to do. There is also a part of the page dedicated to optional features and rulings that the game master (GM) can allow for you to use (their discretion). For GMs, I added an implementation section to each subclass, allowing you to easily know where you can find people with these subclasses as well as what kind of jobs or work these kinds of people would be doing. I have also added a list of sample quest ideas revolving around the associated subclass.

On the spot versatility and adaptability paired with a high potential for growth has allowed certain humans to thrive and overtake those that threaten them. Being generic is a blessing to those knowledgeable enough to use it and wise enough to let another take the lead. ### Racial Traits Human uses the following features and traits. **Creature Type.** You are a Humanoid. You are also considered a human for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be a human. **Size.** You are Medium or Small.

***Generalized Alternatives.*** When you gain the Generalized trait: - You can forgo gaining a bonus to attack rolls to instead gain a bonus to saving throw DCs you impose. - You can forgo gaining a bonus to damage rolls to instead gain a bonus to rolls that restore hit points.

\page

Living Memory

Those that die unfulfilled may be reignited by intense desire and emotions. These ghostly living memories wander the world to enact their will and finally find peace. Should this passion die out, so would the living memory and their soul, damning them to nonexistence. ### Racial Traits A Living Memory uses the following features and traits. ***Ability Score Increase.*** When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. You can't raise any of your scores above 20. Wisdom and Charisma are recommended. ***Creature Type.*** You are an Undead. You are also considered another race for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be it (choose when you select this race). Human is recommended. ***Size.*** You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this race. ***Speed.*** Your walking speed is 30 feet. ***Incorporeal Movement.*** When you take the Dash, Disengage, or Dodge action, you can expend one hit die to become incorporeal until the end of the current turn. While incorporeal, you can move through creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. You take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside a creature or object and are then moved to the nearest unoccupied space. You can also use this trait as an action or bonus action, but must gain one level of exhaustion at the end of the current turn instead of expending a hit die immediately upon using it. ***Lineage Legacy.*** You gain any skill proficiencies and unique speeds—i.e. climbing, flying, or swimming speeds—from the race you chose in your creature type. If the chosen race does not provide any of those elements, you instead gain proficency in two skills of your choice. ***No Body.*** You don't need to eat, drink, sleep, or breathe. To gain the benefits of a long rest, you can spend all 8 hours doing light activity, such as keeping watch. ***Possession.*** You can cast the *Suggestion* spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Once you cast the spell with this trait, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of 2nd level or higher. - Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race). - When you cast *Suggestion* this way against a target within 5 feet of you, you can possess the target for the spell's duration. While you possess a target: - You dissapear into its body to occupy the same space as it. When the spell ends, you reappear in the nearest unoccupied space to the target. - You cannot take actions or reactions. - You can benefit from instantaneous effects that target the creature you're possessing and can ignore you being undead for the purposes of the effect. For example, if the creature regains 5 hit points from the effects of the spell *Healing Word*, then you can choose to also regain 5 hit points. ***Languages.*** Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character.

Pontifus

These people were alchemically transformed to defend against magic and monsters alike. Officially, these alterations have been outlawed for centuries as the process takes years and has a high mortality rate. However, advancements in both arcana and technology may bring these people back from near extinction, barring any questions in morality and legality. The most distinctive traits of a Pontifus are their stark white hair contrasting their glowing colored eyes. ### Racial Traits Pontifus uses the following features and traits. ***Ability Score Increase.*** When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. You can't raise any of your scores above 20. Wisdom and Charisma are recommended. ***Creature Type.*** You are a Monstrosity. You are also considered another race for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be it (choose when you select this race). Human is recommended. ***Size.*** You are Medium. ***Speed.*** Your walking speed is 30 feet. ***Blade Magic.*** You know the *True Strike* cantrip. - Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the *Divine Favor* spell with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you can also cast the *Branding Smite* spell with this trait. Once you cast *Divine Favor* or *Branding Smite* with this trait, you can’t cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast either of those spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. - Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race). - Any weapon attack you make that benefit from a spell can use your spellcasting ability modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. ***Immutable.*** You can't age or be aged, both magically and nonmagically, and have advantage on saving throws to avoid or end being altered in form. ***Lineage Legacy.*** You gain any skill proficiencies and unique speeds—i.e. climbing, flying, or swimming speeds—from the race you chose in your creature type. If the chosen race does not provide any of those elements, you instead gain proficency in two skills of your choice. ***Languages.*** Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character.

***Spell Swap.*** When you gain the Blade Magic trait, you can forgo learning *True Strike* to instead learn a cantrip that requires you to make an attack roll. At 5th level, you can also forgo learning *Branding Smite* to instead learn the *Blur*, *Magic Weapon*, or *Warding Bond* spell.

Psion

Mind over matter is a mantra that allows any creature ascend to a new tier of evolution by attaining psycho-chromatic abilities. Psions are able to hone their emotions to bend the reality without tools, magic, or gods. It is theorized that, to become a god, one must first become a psion as only wishes and magic directly from a divine source are able to overcome psionics. ### Racial Traits Astra uses the following features and traits. ***Ability Score Increase.*** When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. You can't raise any of your scores above 20. It is recommended to increase Constitution and Intelligence. ***Creature Type.*** You are an Aberration. You are also considered another race for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be it (choose when you select this race). Human is recommended. ***Size.*** You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this race. ***Speed.*** Your walking speed is 30 feet. ***Lineage Legacy.*** You gain any skill proficiencies and unique speeds—i.e. climbing, flying, or swimming speeds—from the race you chose in your creature type. If the chosen race does not grant any of those traits, you instead gain proficency in two skills of your choice. ***Sixth Sense.*** While conscious, you emanate an aura psionic energy in a 30-foot radius around you known as your sphere of influence. It grants you the following: - ***Brain Blast.*** As an action, you can force a creature you can see within your sphere of influence to take a number of d4s of psychic damage equal to your proficiency bonus. If any damage die results in a 4, you reroll the die and add both results to the total damage dealt. Additionally, you can use this feature as a bonus action by spending one of your hit dice. - ***Manipulate.*** You can move and interact with any object you can see within your sphere of influence as if using an open hand. You can only carry objects that weigh 10 lbs or less and can only make attacks this way on your turns. - ***Telepathy.*** You can telepathically speak to any creature within your sphere of influence and it can respond back to you telepathically. You don't need to share a language with the creature for you both to understand each other's telepathic utterances, but must both be able to understand at least one language. If you already have Telepathy, you instead increase its range by an amount equal to the radius of your sphere of influence. ***Languages.*** Your character can speak, read, and write Common and either Deep Speech or one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character.

Spiritsworn

As simple familiars extensively taught to be more, the spiritsworn come in many different shapes and sizes depending on what kind of animal form they favored. In appearance, these people often have the body of a their masters mix with their favored form or may be fully embracing a more anthropomorphic figure. There have been no records or specialized of unique familiar animal forms such as sprites turning into spiritsworn. The familiars of those on grand journeys or those tangled with conflict can quickly learn to be spiritsworn with or without a guiding hand. If a bond is strong enough, the death of a spirit's master can anchor the familiar on the plane until it gets over the death or becomes a new spiritsworn. ### Racial Traits Spiritsworn uses the following features and traits. ***Ability Score Increase.*** When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. You can't raise any of your scores above 20. Intelligence and Charisma are recommended. ***Creature Type.*** You are a Celestial, Fey, or Fiend. You choose the creature type when you select this race. ***Size.*** You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this race. ***Speed.*** Your walking speed is 30 feet. ***Academic Origin.*** You gain proficiency in one skill or tool of your choice. ***Conjured Conduit.*** Spellcasters can treat your body as a spellcasting focus (which can include yourself). ***Familiar Form.*** When you select this race, choose one animal form from the *Find Familiar* spell. You gain one of that creature's traits of your choice that does not involve attacks, dealing damage, or gaining hit points that aren't temporary. ***Sacred Linked.*** When a creature within 5 feet of you casts the spell *Find Familiar*, it can choose you as its familiar if you are willing. While a familiar, the actions you can take are not limited, and you can't be dismissed or summoned by the spell. As an action or when you fall to 0 hit points, you can end your service as a familar and do not disappear. Nothing can prevent you from taking this action including being ordered to do otherwise. ***Spellsight.*** While blinded and conscious, you can choose to be under the effects of a *Detect Magic* spell. ***Languages.*** Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character.

***Variant Familiars.*** When choosing an animal form from the *Find Familiar* spell, all creatures with the "familiar" tag are added to the list of available options. A list of additional options can be found under the Creature Statistics section (**[pg. 154](#p154)**) The DM can grant the following creatures the "familiar" tag: awakened shrub, homonculus, and stirge. This book provides the following creatures with the "familiar" tag: cockroach, moth, rabbit, snail, and wasp.

\page ### Rage ***1st-level Barbarian feature***
On your turn, you can enter a rage for 10 minutes as a bonus action. Your rage ends early if you are knocked unconscious, you don't use a bonus action to extend it, or you end your turn without attacking a creature on the same turn. While raging, you gain the following effects if you aren't wearing heavy armor: - You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. - When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll, known as your Rage Damage bonus. This bonus increases to +3 at 9th level and to +4 at 17th level. - You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. - You can't cast spells or concentrate on them. You can rage a number of times shown for your barbarian level in the Rages column of the Barbarian table. You regain all uses of this feature when you finish a short or long rest. ### Unarmored Defense ***1st-level Barbarian feature***
While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit. ### Danger Sense ***2nd-level Barbarian feature***
You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws while you aren't blinded, deafened, or incapacitated. ### Reckless Attack ***2nd-level Barbarian feature***
Before you make an attack, you can choose to do so recklessly. You gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls using Strength until the start of your next turn, but all attack rolls against you have advantage until then. ### Primal Path ***3rd-level Barbarian feature***
At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels. ### Ability Score Improvement ***4th-level Barbarian feature***
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. ``` ``` ### Extra Attack ***5th-level Barbarian feature***
You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Moreover, in place of any of those attacks, you can move up to half your speed and add 1d12 to the next damage roll you make before the current turn ends. ### Fast Movement ***5th-level Barbarian feature***
Your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing heavy armor. Additionally, as part of the bonus action you take to enter your rage, you can move up to half your speed.

\page ### Feral Instincts ***7th-level Barbarian feature***
You have advantage on initiative rolls. In addition, if you are surprised at the beginning of combat and aren't incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else on that turn. ### Mindless Rage ***7th-level Barbarian feature***
You can't be charmed or frightened while raging. If you are charmed or frightened when you enter a rage, the effect ends. ``` ``` ### Indomitable Might ***9th-level Barbarian feature***
If your total for a Strength check is less than your Strength score, you can use that score in place of the total. ### Persistent Rage ***9th-level Barbarian feature***
Your rage ends early only if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it. ### Brutal ***11th-level Barbarian feature***
When you score a critical hit with a weapon attack, you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to your level in this class. Additionally, when you make a weapon attack roll with advantage and hit, you treat the weapon’s damage dice as rolling their maximum result. ### Endless Stamina ***13th-level Barbarian feature***
You don't gain the effects of exhaustion so long as you have 4 or less levels of the condtion. Whenever you finish a short rest, your exhaustion level, if any, is also decreased by 1. Further, your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift is multipled by 5. ### Relentless Rage ***15th-level Barbarian feature***
While raging, you do not fall unconscious by being at 0 hit points.

Blacksmith Martial Archetype

For some, one's ability to create a weapon should be matched by their ability to wield it as it allows a full insight of what must be considered in the weapon's creation.

A creature wielding or wearing the item benefits from the blueprint—even if it already knows the same fighting style—but can't gain the same benefits from more than one blueprint. ### Armory ***7th-level Fighter feature***

As a bonus action or in place of any attack you make with the Attack action, you can take the Use an Object action, use your Arms Dealer to replace a fighting style, or touch an item with a modification made using your Forgewright and replace its modification with another of your choice. Further, you can attune to up to four magic items at once. ### Enchanted Blueprints ***15th-level Fighter feature***
If you have a weapon or piece of armor that is a magic item of common or uncommon rarity, you can treat its magical effects as a blueprint you know for the purposes of modifying items using your Forgewright. The item is magical while modified this way, if it isn't already. ### Forgemaster ***18th-level Fighter feature***
You can use Made to Order to immediately modify an unmodified item you touch using your Forgewright. In addition, creatures that take damage while wearing an item modified by your Forgewright can reduce the damage it takes by your proficiency bonus.

## Quick Builds - **Action:** Attack action - **Bonus Action:** Second Wind, Made to Order - **Reaction:** Opportunity Attack - **Movement:** Keep the enemy within your reach ### Metallurgist You can make a Blacksmith Fighter quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the guild artisan background. - **Equipment:** Heavy armor, Shield, Warhammer - **Fighting Style:** Dueling - **Blueprints:** Archery, Defense, Great Weapon Fighting, Protection, Two-Weapon Fighting - **Feats:** Adaptable Fighter, Arms Adept, Combat Initiate, Fighting Adept, Tool Adept ## Subclass Options & Rules If you need help building a character or you wish to have more character options for the Subclass, you can find it here. ### "Sage Advice" Rulings that should be enforced to properly play the subclass. **Raw Standard.** You can treat coins as raw materials for items you craft with smith's tools. ### Optional Features Rulings that dungeon masters may choose to allow or ignore. **Custom Designer.** At 3rd level, the time and money you must spend to buy or craft a custom weapon is halved. **Martial Spellbook.** A blacksmith can record a fighting style into a spellbook as a blueprint similar to how a wizard can copy a spell into a spellbook. A fighting style can be copied from a creature that knows a fighting style that you spend at least 1 hour training with, from weapons with a specialized modification, and from weapons wielded by creatures you've killed that knew a fighting style. Creating a blueprint takes 2 hours and costs 150gp. While you carry this spellbook, you can treat any blueprints recorded into it as blueprints you know. **Modified Permanence.** When you use Forgewright to modify an item, you can permanently apply the modification to it by also expending 500gp worth of raw materials. You no longer consider this modification when determining your maximum number of modifications. **Reforge Weapon.** You can use a weapon as raw materials for the purposes of creating a new weapon with Smithy. Its total worth is treated as halved when doing so and any modifications made to the item using the Forgewright feature are transfered to the new weapon. You cannot place more than one modification on the new weapon. ``` ``` ## Subclass Implementation If you are unsure on how to implement the Subclass into your game world, here are some suggestions on how to do so. ### Creating Blacksmiths So long as metalworking is required, a blacksmith would exist to shape metals into whatever form is needed such as nails, armor, and weapons. Blacksmith fighters are often found working at forges or personally delivering a product directly to a customer. This frequently brings them to soldier barracks, adventuring guilds, carpenters workshops, and any other locations that require metal in any form. Some blacksmiths may also gather their raw materials by hand, bringing them to mines and other places full of precious ores. ### Quests For The Subclass A collection or quests to become the subclass. **Diamond in the Rough.** A blacksmith has noticed your weapon is of fine make and quality. They believe it's their duty to make sure you're able to maintain it, even if they have to teach you the art of blacksmithing to do so. **Steel Hope.** A town populated almost entirely by women and children are in desperate need of weaponry due to an incoming raid. ### Quests From Or About The Subclass A collection of quests related to the subclass. **Ore Seeker.** Due to the mines being recently infested with monsters, a blacksmith is looking for a group to protect them as they gather materials from within the area.

Duelist Martial Archetype

Duelists are able to quickly subdue their foes by adapting to whatever tactics are used against them. This constant dance between various stances gives them the upperhand in any combat they face, so long as they manage to maintain focus. ## Subclass Features ### Duelist Training ***3rd-level Duelist feature***
You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice from the list of skills available to fighters at 1st level and can choose to willingly miss any attack you make. Further, when you roll for initative, you have advantage on all attack rolls you make before the end of your next turn. ### Free-Form ***3rd-level Duelist feature***
You learn three stances from the List of Stances. You can enter a stance by forgoing advantage on an attack roll you make or forgoing an attack made using the Attack action. The stance lasts until the start of your next turn or, if you choose to concenrate on it when you enter the stance, until you lose concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). If a stance would call for a saving throw, its DC equals 8 + your attack bonus with unarmed strikes or a held weapon. You learn another stance at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level. ### Dynamic Combat ***7th-level Duelist feature***
When you enter a stance or miss an attack, you can add your proficiency bonus to the next damage roll you make before the end of the current turn. ### Lithe ***10th-level Duelist feature***
If you miss an attack, you can forgo benefitting from Dynamic Combat to instead take the Dodge action as a bonus action. ### Mixed Martial Arts ***15th-level Duelist feature***
You can concentrate on two effects at the same time, provided neither effect is a spell of 1st-level or higher. If you make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration while doing so, you have disadvantage on the roll but only lose concentration on one effect of your choice on a failure. Further, when you make a saving throw, you can swap a stance you're concentrating on for another stance you know. ### Focused ***18th-level Duelist feature***
While you concentrate, your weapon attack rolls have advantage.

Further, once per turn, you can knock a creature prone when it misses a melee attack against you. **Fortify.** You and allies in your reach gain a +1 bonus to saving throws. **Gap Breaker.** Attacks of your choice against targets in your reach score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. **Haunstreich.** When you damage a target with an unarmed strike or weapon attack, you can change the damage type to slashing. Further, when you deal slashing damage to a target, you can sunder it for the duration of the stance. While sundered, all damage it takes is increased by half your proficiency bonus. **Healing Surge.** When you gain hit points or temporary hit points, you can redistribute any number of them to creatures in your reach instead of gaining them yourself. Further, you can expend a hit die as a bonus action to regain a number of hit points equal to a roll of the hit die. **Hiebstreich.** When you damage a target with an unarmed strike or weapon attack, you can change the damage type to piercing. Further, when you deal piercing damage to a target, you can skewer it for the duration of the stance. While skewered, the minimum d20 roll an attack needs to score a critical hit against it lowers by 1. **Leaping Lizard.** You're under the effects of the Disengage action and the distance you can cover in a jump increases by a number of feet equal to five times your proficiency bonus. **Lunger.** Your reach is 5 feet greater than normal. **Mordstreich.** When you damage a target with an unarmed strike or weapon attack, you can change the damage type to bludgeoning. Further, when you deal bludgeoning damage to a target, you can reduce its AC by half your proficiency bonus for the duration of the stance. ``` ```

When you see a target within 5 feet of you about to take damage, you can use a reaction to redirect it to yourself and become the only target for either all the damage dealt to it, all other effects accompanying the damage, or both. In addition, you have resistance to damage dealt by allies, damage dealt by creatures under the effects of your Eyes on Me, and damage you take originally meant for another target. ### Intervene ***10th-level Fighter feature***

The squadron will be sent first into battle and expected to die. **Greenhorn's Preparation.** A skald is escorted by the party so that they can enlist into the local military force. They chose to get an escort so that they can learn from combat veterans and will pay well if the party caters to this interest. **Past Relics.** A veteran in a local tavern asks you to collect his old war equipment from a safe space.

Also, choose one of the following options to benefit from: - **Sage.** Your concentration on a cantrip or an effect that's not a spell can't be broken as a result of taking damage. - **Scholar.** You can use your Mage Loadout to replace one cantrip you know as a bonus action. - **Spellblade.** You can treat any weapon as an arcane focus that grants a +1 bonus to any attack rolls made with it.

### Arcane Resistance ***10th-level Fighter feature***
While holding a spellcasting focus, you gain a bonus to saving throws you make against spells equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). Moreover, cantrips you cast ignore effects similar to the spell *Antimagic Field* or *Dispel Magic*. ### Polymerization ***15th-level Fighter feature***
Once per turn when you cast a spell on a target, you can impose the nondamaging effects of a cantrip you know onto it that is different from the triggering spell. Effects requiring a willing target are ignored unless the target is also willing. ### Toolcaster ***18th-level Fighter feature***
If you use a magic item to cast a 1st-level spell, the item can ignore any changes it gains upon use—such as crumbling to dust or having its charges reduced. Hit points restored by the effects of a spell cast in this way can only raise a creature's current hit points to a maximum of 1.

\page # Additional Notes For The Subclass

This page is not required to play the subclass. It provides bonus content and suggestions for implementing it in the world.

## Quick Builds - **Action:** Attack action (Cast cantrips), Piercing Incantation - **Bonus Action:** Second Wind - **Reaction:** Opportunity Attack (Cast cantrips) - **Movement:** Keep enemies within your reach ### Arcane Artillery You can make a Spellslinger Fighter quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Dexterity your highest ability score, followed by Constitution, then Intelligence. - **Equipment:** Light armor, Spellcasting focus - **Fighting Style:** Archery - **Mage Loadout:** *Chill Touch, Fire Bolt, Mage Hand, Message, Minor Illusion, Prestidigitation, Ray of Frost* - **Esoteric Implements:** Scholar - **Feats:** Combat Initiate, Elemental Mimicry, Fighting Adept, Iron Will, Supernatural Mimicry ## Subclass Options & Rules If you need help building a character or you wish to have more character options for the Subclass, you can find it here. ### "Sage Advice" Rulings that should be enforced to properly play the subclass. **Spellcaster Fighter.** A spellslinger fighter counts as a spellcaster with the Spellcasting and Pact Magic features for the purpose of any rules, features, and items. **Esoteric Magic Weapons.** A creature with the Esoteric Implements feature and has picked the Spellblade option can ignore class requirements of magic weapons. ### Optional Rules & Features Rulings that dungeon masters may choose to allow or ignore. **Dual Wands.** Wands have the light property. **Hedge Warrior.** A Spellslinger Fighter can consider any fighting style option that grants cantrips as a fighting style option from the fighter class. With your DM’s approval, a fighter may also pick either option at character creation. **Muscle Magic.** When you gain the Spellslinging feature, you can choose to use Strength instead of Dexterity for the spellcasting ability. **Rage Caster.** You can use Spellslinging to cast cantrips while raging as they're also considered weapon attacks. **Saving Throw Attacks (not recommended).** Features relying on attack rolls—such as the sneak attack feature or the archery fighting style—affect spells that require a saving throw when casted using your Spellslinging by having the attack bonuses and penalties applied to the spell save DC. ``` ``` ## Subclass Implementation If you are unsure on how to implement the Subclass into your game world, here are some suggestions on how to do so. ### Creating Hedge Mages When higher magic is outlawed by those in power or when a person's constitution cracks at the mere sight of a fabled "spell slot," training with the most basic tools often becomes the most common way to bridge the gap. ### Quests For The Subclass A collection or quests to gains the skills of a Spellslinger. **Knowledge Deal.** An otherworldly power—a Knowledge Demon, a Witch, an Archfey, et cetera—has offered you quick and easy knowledge so long as you do something for them in return. The next time you wake up from a long rest, you obtain an irrevocable skill and an engraving is branded onto your head. The brand only disappears once the bargain has been fulfilled. **Marksmage Weapon.** A specific weapon built for cantrip slinging can bond to a user the moment it's touched and prevents the wielder from using any other weapon. **Proving Theories.** To prove professor Spellslinger's theory presented to a magical council, they will have a volunteer learn spellslinging within a week using a mix of potions, magical exposure therapy, and teaching. ### Quests From Or About The Subclass A collection of quests that involve a Spellslinger. **Elementary Library.** A Spellslinger wishes set up a school where the common people can learn basic magic. The party is asked to gather as many cantrip spell scrolls and possible teachers as they can. **Grand Theft Arcanum.** A Spellslinger asks the party to help steal a powerful nobleman's heirloom known as the Ring of Spell Storing before their child can use it for their own purposes. On a successful heist, the Spellslinger may ask for one last favor; the Spellslinger would want someone to cast a 1st-level spell into the ring such as *Command*, *Healing Word*, *Goodberry*, or *Mage Armor*. **Rot Removal.** After a Spellslinger has lived 50 years of their life with mage rot— a magical disease causing them to gain exhaustion whenever they casts a spell of 1st-level or higher— they're calling the party to help them finally cure it. Upon completion, kingdoms, nations, and corporations may attempt to buy the knowledge from you in order to secure their own interests. **Wild Chainspell.** Despite being a simple experiment to empower spellslingers, a mage-seeking conglomeration of thousands of cantrips has been unleashed on the world and is razing village after village through enacting every effect on whatever it passes through. The party has been tasked with being one of the groups dealing with this situation with the help of the mage that incited the whole incident.

\page ### Martial Arts ***1st-level Monk feature***
You can treat both your unarmed strikes and weapons lacking the heavy and two-handed properties as if they have the finesse property. Attacks you make with a finesse weapon—such as an unarmed strike for the purposes of this class—can use your Strength, Dexterity, or Wisdom modifier for the attack and damage rolls and can roll a d6, also known as your Martial Arts die, in place of rolling the weapon's damage die. The size of your Martial Arts die increases by 1 at 5th (d8), 9th (d10), and 13th level (d12). Further, once on each of your turns when you take the Attack action, you can make one additional unarmed strike as a part of the same action. You cannot perform two-weapon fighting on the same turn you make this additional attack. ### Unarmored Stance ***1st-level Monk feature***
While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, you gain the following benefits: - Your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Strength or Wisdom modifier (your choice). - Your walking speed increases by 10 feet and you can move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move. ### Focus ***2nd-level Monk feature***
A wellspring of mystic energies flowing through you is represented by a pool of focus points equal to your monk level + your proficiency bonus, which allows you to create a variety of extraordinary effects. You regain all expended focus points when you finish a short or long rest. You learn the Flurry of Blows and Patient Defense focus features and learn more as you gain levels in this class. - **Flurry of Blows.** When you use your Martial Arts to make one additional attack, you can spend 1 focus point to instead make two additional attacks. - **Patient Defense.** You can spend 1 focus point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action. Some of your focus features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

**Focus save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Constitution or Wisdom modifier (your choice)

### Fight or Flight ***2nd-level Monk feature***
Choose two options from the following list: you take the Dash action, you take the Disengage action, or you gain temporary hit points equal to half your monk level + your proficiency bonus until the end of your next turn. Once per turn, you can take one of your chosen options as a bonus action or as a part of spending at least 1 focus point. ``` ``` ### Dedicated Weapon ***3rd-level Monk feature***
You can attune to magical and nonmagical weapons. If an attuned weapon lacks the heavy and special properties, you can consider yourself proficient with it. Further, you can apply the additional effects of an attuned weapon onto an unarmed strike you make. Each attack can only benefit from one attuned weapon's effects at a time. For example, you can have your unarmed strikes gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls while attuned to a +1 club or an extra 2d6 fire damage while attuned to a flame tongue, but not both at the same time.

\page ### Monastic Tradition ***3rd-level Monk feature***

Your attacks using finesse weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. Further, when you hit a creature with a finesse weapon, you can spend 1 focus point to do one of the following: - **Open Hand Strike.** The target is automatically grappled or shoved by you. Your Focus save DC is both the escape DC for a target grappled this way and the maximum number of feet you can push a shoved target up to. - **Staggering Strike.** The target is dazed until the end of your next turn; it can't take reactions and can only do one of the following on each of its turns: take an action, use a bonus action, or move. A target that can't be stunned also can't be dazed this way. ### Evasion ***7th-level Monk feature***
Your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon's lightning breath or a *Fireball* spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. ### Refined Physique ***9th-level Monk feature***
You gain one of the following options of your choice: - **Herculean.** You count as huge when determining your carrying capacity; the creatures you can grapple or shove; and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

If you already have blindsight or tremorsense, you can instead increase the range of one of those senses by 30 feet. - You gain the effects of the spell *Detect Magic* or *Detect Poison and Disease*. - You have truesight, notice secret doors hidden by magic, and can see into the Ethereal Plane, all out to a range of 30 feet. ### Diamond Soul ***14th-level Monk feature***
Your mastery of ki grants you proficiency in all saving throws. Further, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 focus point to reroll it and take the second result. ### Rapid Strike ***15th-level Monk feature***
When you have advantage on an attack roll against a target made as a part of the Attack action, you can forgo the roll's advantage to make an extra weapon attack against the same target as part of the same action. You can't use this feature on exta attacks gained by this feature. If you use this feature, you can't use it again until the start of your next turn, unless you spend 1 focus point to do so. ### Cross-counter ***18th-level Monk feature***
When you are hit by an attack or take damage, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage taken by five times your monk level. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can also immediately move up to your speed towards the attacker or source of the damage without provoking opportunity attacks and make one attack against it using a finesse weapon. ### Perfect Self ***20th-level Monk feature***
Choose two from Strength, Dexterity, and Wisdom. Each of the chosen ability scores increase by 4 and your maximum for them is now 24. Further, once per turn, can use Flurry of Blows or Patient Defense without spending focus points.

This is considered an unarmed strike that you make for the purposes of your features and deals no more damage than twice your monk level with this feature, unless you spend 1 focus point as a part of using this reaction. ### Stupor ***6th-level Monk feature***
As a part of taking the Dodge action, you can stand up from
prone without expending movement or can attempt to escape a grapple. Further, your Lucky Break gains the following options: - You take the Dodge action. - You move up to your speed without provoking opportunity attacks. ### Drunken Master ***11th-level Monk feature***

If you can't find a flowing liquor monk partaking in alcohol, you may find them serving the drinks or wandering the streets. ### Creating A Beggars Sect A beggars sect cares for both the average person and more specialized warriors that mask their skill. Their visible services of goodwill and charity help to keep any other good work they do hidden, such as trading information or smuggling artifacts. Although there's no strict code for the sect, the various elders keep those in check. ### Quests To Be The Subclass A collection or quests to become the subclass. **Master's Gift.** You're challenged to a drinking contest by a wandering vagabond. Upon impressing them—whether that be by "winning" the contest or by showing off master over your own body—they will reward you with a special decanter of endless water that pours out any alcoholic beverage of your choice instead of water. ### Quests Involving The Subclass A collection of quests related to the subclass. **Elder's Correction.** A member of the beggars sect reveals themselves to you and enlists the party into helping them track down a flowing liquor monk that's killing sect members. While tracking down the monk, the party finds out that the monk was an elder of the sect that believed the group has gone down the wrong path. While the sect offers a large amount of money for completing the tast, the monk offers their support should they be left to their own devices. **Wine And Dine.** A flowing liquor monk is willing to spill information in exchange for a specific alcoholic mix found in a nearby high end restaurant. Should the party take or recreate it, the informant may also give their seal of approval which puts the party in the good graces of the beggars sect.

Once you return a creature to life this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. At 17th level, you can restore a creature to life that has been dead no longer than 10 days. ### Let's Get Physical ***11th-level Monk feature***

\page # Way of Spirits The primal elements speak to your soul and act in ways that guide you and in ways that are guided by you. This spritual mastery attained by those taught the way of spirits understand how they and others are connected to a wider world made of extrodinary forces. ## Subclass Features ### Wiseman ***3rd-level Spirits feature***

While attuned to it this way, it becomes your familiar even in addition to any others you have, it is no longer affected by the spell that conjured it, and you can forgo one of your unarmed strikes to have it make one weapon attack using its reaction. Your attunement to it ends if the creature is reduced to 0 hit points. ### Living Ley Line ***11th-level Spirits feature***
When a spell of 5th-level or lower is cast by you or an ally within 30 feet of you, it can consider the spell as one level lower than normal (minimum of 1st-level) for the purposes of reducing resources expended—such as spell slots or focus points. You must not be incapacitated to grant this benefit. ### Energy Bender ***17th-level Spirits feature***
When a creature other than you benefits from your Living Ley Line, you gain 1 focus point that disappears at the end of your next turn and can use your reaction to make one unarmed strike as if it were your turn. You also can attune to up to four magic items at once.

Such places for shamans may be religious institutions, the forest wilds, and traveling guide guilds just to name a few. ### Quests To Be The Subclass A collection or quests to become the subclass. **Friendly Introduction.** A spirit has taken a liking to you and wants to bring you to their home to meet their family. If the spirit's family likes you, you may learn an additional cantrip or more upon joining the way of spirits. **Fugitive.** A spirit attempts to hide within you, infusing your body with mystical spells. Once infused, you can see their invisible pursuers that may or may not be hostile to you depending on how you act. ### Quests Involving The Subclass A collection of quests related to the subclass. **Friend Finder.** A spirits monk wishes to join the party to finding a specific spirit or conjuration spell scroll.

The monk attacks any person they see on sight, granting them a bounty on their head. **Spirit Guide.** To get through a dangerous location, a spirits monk has offered their services to guide you. This offer may be a genuine show of sincerity, a deal allowing them to gain copious amounts of wealth, or a ploy to get you entangled with spirits they serve.

\page ### Divine Aura ***1st-level Paladin feature***
While you are not incapacitated, you emanate a 10-foot radius aura that grants the following effects: - You and friendly creatures within the aura are immune to disease and have advantage on rolls to avoid or end being cursed or poisoned. - You know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within the aura that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity (the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich, for instance). - You detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the *Hallow* spell. Further, you can use an action to increase the range of your aura by 30 feet until the start of your next turn. At 18th level, this aura's normal range increases to 30 feet. ### Lay on Hands ***1st-level Paladin feature***
Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level x 5. As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool. Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one. This feature has no effect on undead and constructs. ### Fighting Style ***2nd-level Paladin feature***
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one [**Fighting Style option**](#p123). You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once. Additionally, you can replace a fighting style you know with another fighting style whenever you gain a level in this class. ### Sacred Shot ***2nd-level Paladin feature***
*This 2nd-level feature replaces the Fighting Style feature. You gain no benefit from the replaced feature and don't qualify for anything in the game that requires it.* When a paladin feature or spell either affects or requires your melee weapon attack, each damage die granted by the feature or spell becomes a d6 if it is not already a d4. While you're not wearing heavy armor, you can also have the feature or spell instead affect or require your ranged weapon attack. Further, if you take the Attack action on your turn and have advantage on an attack roll against one of the targets, you can forgo the advantage for that roll. On a hit, you can treat the target as a fiend for the purposes of your Divine Smite. ``` ``` ### Spellcasting ***2nd-level Paladin feature***
You have learned to draw on divine magic through meditation and prayer to cast spells as a cleric does. #### Preparing and Casting Spells The Paladin table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your paladin spells. To cast one of your paladin spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of paladin spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the paladin spell list. When you do so, choose a number of paladin spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your paladin level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 5th-level paladin, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of paladin spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. #### Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your paladin spells, as their power derives from the strength of your convictions. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a paladin spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

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

#### Spellcasting Focus You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your paladin spells. ### Divine Smite ***2nd-level Paladin feature***
When you hit a target with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to have your attack deal extra radiant damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend, to a maximum of 6d8.

\page

### Sacred Oath ***3rd-level Paladin feature***
You swear the oath that binds you as a paladin forever. Up to this time you have been in a preparatory stage, committed to the path but not yet sworn to it. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 7th, 15th, and 20th level. Those features include oath spells and the Channel Divinity feature. #### Channel Divinity Your oath allows you to channel divine energy to fuel magical effects. Each Channel Divinity option provided by your oath explains how to use it. When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which option to use. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again. Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your paladin spell save DC. #### Oath Spells Each oath has a list of associated spells. You gain access to these spells at the levels specified in the oath description. Once you gain access to an oath spell, you always have it prepared. Oath spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain an oath spell that doesn't appear on the paladin spell list, the spell is nonetheless a paladin spell for you. ### Ability Score Improvement ***4th-level Paladin feature***
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. ``` ```

### Extra Attack ***5th-level Paladin feature***
You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. ### Aura of Protection ***6th-level Paladin feature***
Whenever you or a friendly creatures within your Divine Aura must make a saving throw, the creature gains a bonus to the saving throw equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum bonus of +1). ### Aura of Courage ***10th-level Paladin feature***
You and friendly creatures within your Divine Aura can't be frightened. ### Improved Divine Smite ***11th-level Paladin feature***
Whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon, the creature takes an extra 1d8 radiant damage. ### Cleansing Touch ***14th-level Paladin feature***
You can use your action to end one spell on yourself or on one willing creature that you touch. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Oath of Devotion

The Oath of Devotion binds a paladin to the loftiest ideals of justice, virtue, and order. Sometimes called cavaliers, white knights, or holy warriors, these paladins meet the ideal of the knight in shining armor, acting with honor in pursuit of justice and the greater good. They hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct, and some, for better or worse, hold the rest of the world to the same standards. Many who swear this oath are devoted to gods of law and good and use their gods' tenets as the measure of their devotion. They hold angels--the perfect servants of good--as their ideals, and incorporate images of angelic wings into their helmets or coats of arms. ### Tenets of Devotion Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of Devotion vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets. **Honesty.** Don't lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise. **Courage.** Never fear to act, though caution is wise. **Compassion.** Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom. **Honor.** Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm. **Duty.** Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you. ## Subclass Features ### Oath Spells ***3rd-level Paladin feature***
|Paladin Level|Oath Spells| |:---:|:------------------| | 3rd |*Protection from Evil and Good, Sanctuary* | | 5th |*Lesser Restoration, Zone of Truth* | | 9th |*Beacon of Hope, Disepl Magic* | | 13th|*Freedom of Movement, Guardian of Faith* | | 17th|*Commune, Flame Strike* | ### Channel Divinity ***3rd-level Paladin feature***
You gain the following two Channel Divinity options. - **Sacred Weapon.** As a bonus action, you can imbue one weapon that you are holding with positive energy, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration. You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

- **Turn the Unholy.** As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring fiends and undead, using your Channel Divinity. Each fiend or undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action. ### Aura of Devotion ***7th-level Paladin feature***
You and friendly creatures within your Divine Aura can't be charmed. ### Purity of Spirit ***15th-level Paladin feature***
You are always under the effects of a *Protection from Evil and Good* spell. ### Holy Nimbus ***20th-level Paladin feature***
As a bonus action, you can emanate an aura of sunlight. For 1 minute, bright light shines from you in a 30-foot radius, and dim light shines 30 feet beyond that. Whenever an enemy creature starts its turn in the bright light, the creature takes 10 radiant damage. In addition, for the duration, you have advantage on saving throws against spells cast by fiends or undead. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level spell slot to use it again.

Oath of Judgment

For under the oath of judgment, actions speak louder than words. These paladins play judge, jury, and executioner through omniscient aid and the promises they keep. ## Subclass Features ### Tenets of Judgment Those under the oath of judgment rarely work alone to temper their views and tenets they may or may not share with those they keep company with. **Fair.** Impartiality is key to making a just decision. Don't let emotions cloud your true verdict. **Factual.** Gather the truth when a situation tests you. Deceit driven answers builds bases of bias. **Personal Vow.** When you take this oath, choose one tenet from any other sacred oath and pledge to it as your own. ### Oath Spells ***3rd-level Paladin feature***
|Paladin Level|Oath Spells| |:--:|:-------------------| | 3rd|*Command, Comprehend Languages* | | 5th|*Detect Thoughts, Zone of Truth*| | 9th|*Clairvoyance, Spirit Guardians*| |13th|*Banishment, Guardian of Faith* | |17th|*Commune, Dominate Person* | ``` ``` ### Channel Divinity: Divine Trial ***3rd-level Paladin feature***
As a bonus action, you can use your Channel Divinity to put yourself and a creature you can see within 30 feet of you on trial using one tenet of your choice. The DM then decides for each creature if it is judged as a tenet follower or not. The creature is judged for 1 minute; it gains the effects of the *Bless* spell if it's a follower or the *Bane* spell if it's not. ### Eyes of the Jury ***3rd-level Paladin feature***
You know the location of any judged creature within your Divine Aura that's not behind full cover or hidden from you. You can also use your action to mark one judged creature of your choice within this area for 1 hour; you always know the location of a creature marked this way. ### Aura of Pledges ***7th-level Paladin feature***
When you or a creature within your Divine Aura takes damage, you can reduce it by the number of tenets that you have pledged to. Moreover, whenever you finish a long rest, you can pledge yourself to a number of additional tenets up to your Charisma modifier. These pledges lasts until you use this feature again and the additional tenets can be from any sacred oath, an ideal from a background, or made with the help of your DM. ### Aura of Judgment ***15th-level Paladin feature***
When a creature other than you enters your Divine Aura for the first time on a turn or starts its turn within that area, you can use your Channel Divinity: Divine Trial as a reaction to judge it and yourself. When used this way, you don't expend a use of your Channel Divinity and the duration lasts only until the start of its next turn. ### Sentencing ***20th-level Paladin feature***
You gain one of the following options of your choice: - **Channel Edict.** When you use Channel Divinity: Divine Trial, you can cast one paladin spell only targeting one judged creature as part of that same action. This spell doesn't need to be prepared, it doesn't expend a spell slot, it doesn't require any components, and it can have any casting time. If you cast a spell of 2nd level or lower, you can also have the target automatically fail the first saving throw that spell has it make. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you regain at least one expended use of your Channel Divinity. - **Divine Wrath.** When you expend a spell slot of 2nd-level or higher to use your Divine Smite on a judged creature, you regain one expended spell slot if the target is not a follower. The slot you regain must be of a level lower than the spell slot expended and can't be higher than 5th level.

\page # Additional Notes For The Subclass

This page is not required to play the subclass. It offers bonus content and suggestions for implementing it in a world.

## Quick Builds - **Action:** Attack action (Divine Smite) - **Bonus Action:** Cast a Spell action, Divine Trial - **Reaction:** Aura of Judgment - **Movement:** Keep enemies within reach ### Magistrate You can make a Judgment Paladin quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength your highest ability score, followed by Constitution or Charisma. Second, choose the acolyte background. - **Equipment:** Heavy armor, Shield, Battleaxe - **Fighting Style:** Defense - **Spells:** *Cure Wounds, Divine Favor, Heroism, Protection from Evil and Good* - **Feats:** Curative Will, Assistive, Vicious Attacker ## Subclass Options & Rules If you need help building a character or you wish to have more character options for the Subclass, you can find it here. ### "Sage Advice" Rulings that should be enforced to properly play the subclass. **Formatting.** It was intentional that the Tenets of Judgment were placed under Subclass Features as it's key for playing. **Concentrationless Channeling.** Your Channel Divinity: Divine Trial does not require concentration. **Innocent Until Proven Guilt.** A paladin that uses Channel Divinity: Divine Trial is assumed to be a tenet follower unless circumstances after gaining the subclass prove otherwise. ### Optional Features Optional and Replacement features available to the subclass. **Oath Of Judgment Lite.** When you choose any sacred oath, you can replace one of the Channel Divinity options with Channel Divinity: Divine Trial as a simple way to make a paladin with a secondary job or subclass. **Custom Judgments.** For customizability, the DM can have each tenet impose a different effect when used by your Channel Divinity: Divine Trial feature. When used through your Aura of Judgment, the imposed effect can't directly deal more damage than your paladin level. ``` ``` ## Subclass Implementation If you are unsure on how to implement the Subclass into your game world, here are some suggestions on how to do so. ### Creating God Specific Judges Because of the nature of their oath, these paladins are often found working under gods not specifically tied to justice or judgment as they pledge to various tenets. Even if two paladins worship the same god, only one under the oath of judgment is explicitly meant to watch the actions of those in their faith. ### Quests To Be The Subclass A collection or quests for pledging to the oath. **Oathbreaker's Punishment.** After being betrayed by a member of your faith, the gods have asked you to deliver punishment on the oathbreaker either to strengthen their faith, to stop you from pledging to vengeance, or to enact a plan you are not yet privy to. **Witch Trial.** A village has asked you to sentence a woman they believe to be a witch. Whether she is a real hag, a normal villager, or a god in disguise, you are being watched and judged by those above you. ### Quests Involving The Subclass A collection of quests related to those under the oath. **Death's Judgment.** Your party has been tasked with investigating a rumor about death manifesting as a paladin to hunt down a particular roguish character. If the paladin is an imposter, the party may be rewarded extra for killing or capturing them. If the paladin is the real deal, death may ask the party to help with their quest in exchange for something only the gods can give. **Fact Checkers.** After being assigned to a court case, a judge has asked the party to collect evidence from the place of the crime which just so happens to be the home of someone they know. Depending on the case and how the investigation goes, the NPC may be accused of a crime, may be framed, or may be the victim. **Grave Reality.** The party is being hunted down by a team headed by a judgment paladin as a bounty has been placed on them. A party full of immoral misdeeds may fight to the death while a party aligned with the morals of the paladin may instead investigate who set up the bounty.

\page ## Custom Judgments The following are a list of custom judgments one could use: * **Be A Role Model.** For 1 minute, a judged creature grants all allies within a 5-foot radius of it a +1 bonus to ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws if it is a follower or grants all allies within a 5-foot radius of it a -1 penalty to ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws to if it is not. * **Shelter Others.** For 1 minute, a judged creature gains the effects of the *Sanctuary* spell (it can end early as normal) if it is a follower or gains disadvantage on attacks rolls made against one creature of your choice that you can see if it is not. * **Preserve Hope.** For 10 minutes, a judged creature reduces any damage it takes by your proficiency bonus if it is a follower or, whenever it takes damage, takes extra radiant damage equal to your proficiency bonus if it is not. * **Light In The Dark.** For 1 hour, a judged creature has their allies always know its location if it is a follower or has disadvantage on any Dexterity (stealth) checks it makes if it is not. ###
* **Honesty.** For 10 minutes, a judged creature gains advantage on Charisma (persuasion) checks it makes if it is a follower or gains the effects of the *Zone of Truth* spell if it is not. * **Courage.** For 1 minute, a judged creature gains the effects of the *Heroism* spell if it is a follower or gains disadvantage whenever it makes a roll to avoid or end being frightened if it is not. * **Compassion.** For 10 minutes, a judged creature can take the Help action as a bonus action if it is a follower or, once per turn, takes 1d4 psychic damage when it damages a creature if it is not. * **Honor.** For 10 minutes, a judged creature grants the effects of the *bless* spell to one creature of their choice within 30 feet if it is a follower or, as a reaction you can take whenever it makes an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, gains a penalty to the roll equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) if it is not. * **Duty.** For 10 minutes, a judged creature ignores the effects of being charmed if it is a follower or gains disadvantage whenever it makes a roll to avoid or end being charmed if it is not. ``` ``` ###
* **Quell Evil.** For 10 minutes, a judged creature gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls if it is a follower or gains a -1 penalty to attack and damage rolls if it is not. * **Merciless.** For 10 minutes, a judged creature gains the effects of the *Divine Favor* spell if it is a follower or, whenever it ends its turn without reducing a creature to 0 hit points, takes 1d4 psychic damage if it is not. * **Relentless.** For 10 minutes, a judged creature can create one dart from the *Magic Missile* spell as an action if it is a follower or must spend 1 extra foot of movement for every foot it moves away from you using its Speed if it is not. * **Restitution.** For 10 minutes, a judged creature can cast *hellish rebuke* once for the duration at 1st-level without expending a spell slot if it is a follower or, whenever it deals damage to a creature, grants you a +1 bonus to the next damage roll you make if it is not. You can benefit from multiple bonuses at once.

Oath of Unity

While a god may grant you power, it is your vow to those that you stand beside that matters. Those devoted to bringing people together—whether it be as friends, as a nation, or as a banner of mortalkind—rally under the oath of unity to achieve such a hard to reach dream. ### Tenets of Unity Those dedicated to unity show their shared interests through these tenets. **Community.** Never forget your brethren, for they are not only your greatest support, greatest sword, and greatest shield, but they are also your purpose and your drive to fight. **Equity.** If a chain is as strong as its weakest link, it's the strong's duty to raise each individual enough to never falter. **Respect.** Everyone—no matter their ability or disposition—should be treated as you would treat yourself. ## Subclass Features ### Oath Spells ***3rd-level Paladin feature***
|Paladin Level|Oath Spells| |:--:|:-------------------| | 3rd|*Guiding Bolt, Sanctuary* | | 5th|*Enhance Ability, Mirror Image* | | 9th|*Mass Healing Word, Tiny Hut* | |13th|*Freedom of Movement, Resilient Sphere*| |17th|*Greater Restoration, Passwall* | ### Helpful ***3rd-level Paladin feature***
Your Help action has a range of 30 feet for the purposes of granting advantage on attack rolls and can be taken as a bonus action or as a reaction to seeing a creature within range make an attack, potentially turning a miss into a hit. ``` ``` ### Channel Divinity: Aura of Aid ***3rd-level Paladin feature***
As a bonus action, you can emanate an aura of solidarity for 1 hour. While you are not incapacitated, friendly creatures within your Divine Aura also gain the benefits of your Helpful feature and gain a special reaction they can take on each of your turns. This reaction can only be used to take the Help action and can't be used the same turn the creature's normal reaction is used. ### Aura of Selflessness ***7th-level Paladin feature***
When you or a friendly creature within your Divine Aura casts a spell with a range of self that doesn't have a prerequisite trigger, it can treat any willing creature within the aura as the caster for the purposes of imposing the spell's effects. If the spell requires concentration, either caster can choose to maintain concentration on the spell. ### Aura of Equality ***15th-level Paladin feature***
When you or a creature within your Divine Aura takes damage, you and any other creatures of your choice within the same range can choose to split the damage evenly between the original target and all willing participants. Moreover, when you regain hit points or gain temporary hit points, you can split the amount gained evenly between any creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you (rounded up). ### Aura of True Strength ***20th-level Paladin feature***
When you use your Divine Smite, you can choose a number of friendly creatures within your Divine Aura equal to half the level of the spell slot expended (rounded up). If a chosen creature can see you, it can move up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks and can use its reaction to make one weapon attack or cast one cantrip. It can use the reaction granted by your Channel Divinity: Aura of Aid to make the attack or cast the cantrip.

\page # Additional Notes For The Subclass

This page is not required to play the subclass. It offers bonus content and suggestions for implementing it in a world.

## Quick Builds - **Action:** Attack action (Divine Smite), Cast a Spell action - **Bonus Action:** Aura of Aid, Help action (Helpful) - **Reaction:** Help action (Helpful), Opportunity Attack - **Movement:** Keep allies within your aura ### Everyman You can make a Unity Paladin quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength your highest ability score, followed by Charisma. - **Equipment:** Heavy armor, Light hammer, Sickle - **Fighting Style:** Defense - **Spells:** *Bless, Cure Wounds, Divine Favor, Shield of Faith* - **Feats:** Collaborative, Encourager, Tandem Combatant ### "Sage Advice" Rulings that should be enforced to properly play the subclass. **Rounded Equality.** Damage divided by your Aura of Equality is rounded down like all other fractional or decimal numbers in the game. ### Optional Rules & Features Rulings that dungeon masters may choose to allow or ignore. **Magical Girl Aura Farming.** When you gain this feature at 3rd level, choose an appearance that you can transform into with the *Disguise Self* spell. While under the effects of your Channel Divinity: Aura of Aid, you fall under the effects of the *Disguise Self* spell and take the appearance chosen when you gained this feature. In addition, whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace your chosen appearance with a new appearance of your choice. **Altruism.** *This 20th-level feature replaces the Aura of True Strength feature. You gain no benefit from the replaced feature and don't qualify for anything in the game that requires it.* When you cast a paladin spell of 2nd-level or higher using a spell slot and have the spell only target your allies, you regain one expended spell slot. The slot you regain must be of a level lower than the spell you cast. **Endless Aura.** *This 20th-level feature replaces the Aura of True Strength feature. You gain no benefit from the replaced feature and don't qualify for anything in the game that requires it.* When you expend a spell slot, you can choose a number of willing creatures within your Divine Aura equal to the level of the spell slot. For 1 minute or until you are incapacitated (whichever comes first), each creature gains the benefits of your Divine Aura and any features you're currently under the effects of that use your Divine Aura, such as your Aura of Aid or your Aura of Equality. ``` ``` ## Subclass Implementation If you are unsure on how to implement the Subclass into your game world, here are some suggestions on how to do so. ### Creating Leaders & Emissaries Those under the banner of unity can frequently found in two specific positions: those that lead a community that they have devoted themselves to protect and those that wish to bridge multiple groups together. Leaders under the oath of unity are found in communities of every size from nation rulers to village heads. These folks either stand back and watch those around them from their far away safe haven or get their hands directly dirty with any type of work. Emissaries, on the other hand, are more likely to be found discussing subjects with said leaders to smooth things over with other communities and build long lasting relationships. ### Quests To Be The Subclass A collection or quests to become the subclass. **Elder's Test.** A village elder wishes to converse with you and your party over tea. Should you impress the elder keen on teamwork and community, they will ask to have a private conversation with you after said meeting. If you impress them once again, the elder teaches you something that grants you proficiency in one skill of your choice upon gaining this subclass. ### Quests Involving The Subclass A collection of quests related to the subclass. **Born to Make History.** A revolutionary is preparing for their moment of truth: an attack on the royal castle tomorrow night. They entrust the party with securing armor and weapons for the revolution and joining their raid thereafter. The quality and quantity of equipment determines whether the party enters the revolution raid with commoners, guards, or knights as companions.

\page # The Ranger Far from the bustle of cities and towns, past the hedges that shelter the most distant farms from the terrors of the wild, amid the dense-packed trees of trackless forests and across wide and empty plains, rangers keep their unending watch by adapting to nature's chaotic whims. ## Class Features ### Hit Points **Hit Dice:** 1d10 per ranger level

\page ### Favored Enemy ***1st-level Ranger feature***
As a bonus action, you can mark a creature if you hit it or if it's within 15 feet of you. The mark lasts until it dies, you die, you're incapacitated, you use this feature again, or you end this effect as bonus action. While a target is marked this way: - You always know its location. - You have advantage on ability checks you make attempting to decypher what it's communicating or feeling. - Your attacks against it, including any triggering attack made to use your mark on it, deal extra damage equal to your proficiency bonus. - At 2nd level, it also scores a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. You can also score a critical hit on a roll of 18 at 10th level, and on a roll of 17 at 18th level. ### Roving ***1st-level Ranger feature***
Your walking speed increases by 10 feet and you gain both a climbing and swimming speed equal to your walking speed. ``` ``` ### Fighting Style ***2nd-level Ranger feature***
You adopt a variety of styles for fighting. Choose one [**Fighting Style option**](#p123). You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once. Additionally, as a reaction you can take to rolling for initiative and whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can replace a fighting style you know from this feature with another fighting style option. ### Spellcasting ***2nd-level Ranger feature***
You have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid does. #### Preparing and Casting Spells The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your ranger spells. To cast one of your ranger spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of ranger spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the ranger spell list. When you do so, choose a number of ranger spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your ranger level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 5th-level ranger, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell *Animal Friendship*, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a short or long rest. Preparing a new list of ranger spells requires time spent foraging and crafting: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. In addition, as a reaction you can take to rolling for initiative, you can immediately replace one ranger spell you have prepared with another spell from the ranger spell list. #### Spellcasting Ability Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells, since your magic draws on your attunement to nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a ranger spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

**Spell save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier
**Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier

#### Ritual Casting You can cast a ranger spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use a druidic focus, a simple weapon, or a martial weapon as a spellcasting focus for your ranger spells.

\page ### Ranger Conclave ***3rd-level Ranger feature***
You choose to emulate the ideals and training of a ranger conclave. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th level. #### Conclave Spells Each conclave has a list of associated spells. You gain access to these spells at the levels specified in the conclave description. Once you gain access to a conclave spell, you always have it prepared. Conclave spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain a conclave spell that doesn't appear on the ranger spell list, the spell is nonetheless a ranger spell for you. ### Ability Score Improvement ***4th-level Ranger feature***
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. ### Extra Attack ***5th-level Ranger feature***
You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. ### Expertise ***6th-level Ranger feature***
Choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. At 14th level, you can choose another two skill proficiencies to gain this benefit. ### Jack of All Trades ***6th-level Ranger feature***
You can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn't already include your proficiency bonus. ``` ``` ### Tireless ***10th-level Ranger feature***
When you take a short rest, you and each creature you rest with can finish the short rest in 10 minutes. Further, whenever you finish a short or long rest that lasts at least 1 hour, you and each creature you rest with can choose to benefit from one of the following: - It gains temporary hit points equal to your ranger level. - Its exhaustion level, if any, is decreased by 1. ### Land Strider ***14th-level Ranger feature***
You have resistance to damage from a source not directly caused by a creature, such as the terrain or a trap, as well as advantage on saving throws against it. Further, moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. ### Feral Senses ***18th-level Ranger feature***
When you attack a creature you can't see, your inability to see it doesn't impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it. You are also aware of the location of any invisible creature within 30 feet of you, provided that the creature isn't hidden from you and you aren't both blinded and deafened. ### Lair Action ***20th-level Fable Slayer feature***
The areas in a 30-foot radius around you and creatures you have marked with your Favored Enemy become your lair. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), you can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects: - **Change Tactics.** You replace a fighting style you know with another option of your choice. - **Mark.** You mark a creature of your choice that you can see within your lair using your Favored Enemy. - **Search.** You take the Search action on your entire lair.

Further, you can grant a +1d4 bonus to one of the following rolls you make against the marked target, potentially turning a failure into a success: a Wisdom check, an attack roll, a damage roll, or a roll attempting to reduce its speed—such as being grappled, paralyzed, or restrained. You can grant the bonus once per turn, unless you expend a 1st-level spell slot or higher to use it again on the same roll or on a different one. ### Grit ***7th-level Ranger feature***

The bonus granted by your Bullseye on a d20 roll you make can be treated as you directly increasing the d20 die result (maximum of 20), potentially turning an attack that hits into a an attack that scores a critical hit.

Warden Conclave

Protectors from the warden conclave find themselves using their focus on a single creature to defend their quarry rather than to combat it like most other rangers. They are able to react to any bad situation and are able to interpose themselves between any imminent danger and their allies. ## Subclass Features ### Conclave Spells ***3rd-level Ranger feature***
|Ranger Level|Conclave Spells| |:---:|:---------------------| | 3rd |*Sanctuary, Shield of Faith* | | 5th |*Misty Step, Warding Bond* | | 9th |*Beacon of Hope, Dispel Magic* | | 13th|*Death Ward, Guardian of Faith* | | 17th|*Telepathic Bond, Wall of Force* | ### Bonus Proficiency ***3rd-level Ranger feature***
You gain proficiency with heavy armor and gain proficiency with your choice of either the Insight, Intimidation, or Perception skill. ### Favored Ward ***3rd-level Ranger feature***
When you mark a willing creature with your Favored Enemy, you can do so as a ward. The special mark also imposes the following effects for the mark's duration: - If a creature is within 5 feet of your ward or has attacked it within the last minute, it is considered marked by your Favored Enemy, but doesn't count as a ward. - When you see a marked target attack or deal damage to your ward, you can use your reaction to make a weapon attack against the attacker or source of damage. You can do so before the results of the attack or damage are determined, potentially preventing the attack or damage from taking effect. Further, if you hit and the ward would take damage from the triggering attack or damage, you can forgo dealing damage to instead reduce the damage your ward take by your weapon attack's damage roll + your ranger level. ### Bulwark ***7th-level Ranger feature***
While conscious, you and a creature marked using your Favored Ward each gain temporary hit points at the start of each of your respective turns equal to the AC granted by the armor and shields you have donned. For example, if you have a Dexterity of 12 and are wearing scale mail, you and your ward gain 15 temporary hit points at the start of each of your respective turns. ### Reactive ***11th-level Ranger feature***
When you use your Favored Ward to make an attack, you can move up to 15 feet without provoking opportunity attacks and can reduce the damage dealt by the triggering attack or damage regardless of whether or not your attack hits. The damage reduced is equal to your ranger level. In addition, you have a second reaction you can take each round, but only one reaction per trigger. The number of reactions you can take each round increases to three when you reach 20th level in this class. ### Guardian Angel ***15th-level Ranger feature***
While you have temporary hit points, you can have any effects imposed on a creature you can see—such as an attack's normal effects or the effects of a spell—instead be imposed on yourself. When you do, you have resistance to all damage dealt by the effect and have advantage on any saving throw made against it. ### Extra Lair Action Option: Move ***20th-level Fable Slayer feature***
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), you can move up to half your speed without provoking opportunity attacks. ### Painted Target ***20th-level Ranger feature***
A creature marked using your Favored Ward gains the same benefits from your mark as you do and can use its bonus action to have you treat a creature it can see of its choice as a marked target for 1 minute.

A simple way to make a Sawbones Rogue NPC is by adding Hasty Transplant to the Spy statblock, treating its rogue level as 6. ### Quests For The Subclass A collection or quests to become a Sawbones Rogue. **Apprenticeship Knowledge.** After seeking out a teacher, you're tasked with learning the difference between each type of creature in order to perform your medical procedures. Some choose to learn through combat while others choose to learn through intensive study. **Crude Butcher.** As an expert dismantler, someone desparate has come to you to try and identity the problem with their friend's failing organs. Upon closer inspection, the failure was deliberate as similar cases have been heard around the area recently. ### Quests Involving The Subclass A collection of quests that involve a Sawbones Rogue. **Frankenstein's Friend.** An undead abomination has been spotted roaming the streets of a town. However, an amateur rogue has come up to the party and have asked them to save them instead as the "abomination" is actually their heavily scarred friend. **Royal Revival.** Due to an anti-magic curse, the only way to resurrect the royal that has been dead for 9 days is by getting a well known elusive hermit to perform treatment using the skills they garnered as a young rogue. **Serial Surgeon.** A rogue doctor has been murdering people they deemed "evil" in order to cure an mafia boss from the same "infection" like some twisted version of exposure therapy. The party has been hired to put a stop to this by either the kingdom guard, a mafia member seeking power, a competitor to the mafia, or someone else entirely.

You then remove the recorded result. ### Premeditated ***17th-level Rogue feature***

Often, a creature's dismantled corpse is worth a number of gp equal to twice the XP worth of the corpse. However, each individual piece may vary in worth as an eye of a beholder may be worth more than its teeth. A monster researcher may pay double for anything rare or brand new.

A member of the organization asks the party to return the leader back to their normal kind self or to capture them until a cure can be made. **Ultimatum.** For the Archdruid to spare the lives of either the party or the people they care about, the archdruid tasks them with bringing back the corpse of a CR5 creature they need to unlock certain secrets of the world.

When you use Extended Family’s bonus action, you can also expend a use of Wild Shape to transform yourself, your familiar, or both into a beast. The beast form uses the rules of your Wild Shape, as normal. Further, when you finish a short or long rest with your familiar, your familiar can provide a creature it chooses additional downtime from your Recuperation.

At 14th level, the number of days increases to equal your druid level + your proficiency bonus. ### Homebound ***10th-level Druid feature***

At the end of a short or long rest, you can imbue up to two weapons you touch with magic. An imbued weapon gains the following benefits until you use this feature again or you die: - It becomes magical, if it isn't already. - The wielder is treated as proficient with it. - Spellcasters can use it as a spellcasting focus. ### Quickened Strike ***6th-level Sorcerer feature***

## Quick Builds - **Action:** Attack action, Cast a Spell action - **Bonus Action:** Cast a Spell action, Recall Wielder - **Reaction:** Quickened Strike - **Movement:** Keep enemies within your reach ### Bladeborn You can make a War Spirit Sorcerer quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Charisma your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity. - **Equipment:** Greatsword - **Cantrips Known:** *Mage Hand, Mending, Prestidigitation, Shocking Grasp* - **Spells:** *False Life, Shield* - **Metamagic Options:** Quickened Spell, Subtle Spell - **Feats:** Combat Initiate, Cantrip Adept, Supernatural Mimicry ## Subclass Options & Rules If you need help building a character or you wish to have more character options for the Subclass, you can find it here. ### Optional Features Optional and Replacement features available to the subclass. **Accursed Bond.** Weapons you imbue with War Weapon are considered cursed weapons. **Quickened Extra Attack.** If you target yourself with Quickened Strike, you do not need to use a bonus action, use your reaction, or expend 1 sorcery point. **Bluwark Blade.** *At 10th level, a War Spirit Sorcerer can forgo gaining another Metamagic option to instead gain this feature.* While a creature wields your imbued weapon, it gains the effects of the *Mage Armor* spell while not wearing armor and, at the start of each of its turns, gains temporary hit points equal to your sorcerer level. It loses these temporary hit points if it ends a turn without wielding the weapon. **Hurling Warp.** A creature can throw your imbued weapon as a part of using Recall Wielder. The throw occurs before before the creature teleports and deals no damage on a hit. **Martial Mage.** *This 20th-level feature replaces the Sorcerous Restoration feature.

Further, you regain 1 sorcery point whenever a creature uses your war weapon to score a critical hit against a hostile enemy. ``` ``` ## Subclass Implementation If you are unsure on how to implement the War Spirit Sorcerous Origin into your game world, here are a couple of suggestions on how to do so. ### Creating Gods & Patrons Only the most powerful War Spirit Sorcerers can ascend into godhood or to the status of patron. Weapons they've imbued for far longer than a year may ignite its own desire to be used, becoming sentient. By adding levels of Fighter to a 20th level War Spirit Sorcerer, you can create these characters of power. I suggest using the Paragon archetype from the fighter class ([**pg. 37**](#p37)) to do so as it's a simple enhancement of the core fighter abilities. ### Quests For The Subclass A collection or quests to become a War Spirit Sorcerer. **Affliction Survival.** To conquer a curse inflicted on you (such as bloodthirst), you must completely transmute the curse by gathering ingredients and processing them. **Battlefield Vengance.** On a cursed battlefield, the only way to release all trapped spirits from the grounds is by defeating each and every one of them. **Inheritance Ceremony.** In order to gain the favor of your predecessors, you must defeat a creature and bring back its corpse as tribute. **Possessed Will.** After a War Spirit Sorcerer's spirit is allowed to enter your body, you must fulfill its goal or wish using its statistics instead of your own. Once it leaves, part of its power is left with you. ### Quests From Or About The Subclass A collection of quests that involve a War Spirit Sorcerer. **Imbued Ascendance.** The Sorcerer wants to create a sentient weapon and has asked the party to collect a barrel of aetherian ectoplasm—a component made to bind intangible things. If a character wishes to become a warlock, the Sorcerer may grant the weapon to them as a pact upon completion. **Student Studies.** Although the Sorcerer is a well-liked prodigy in practical battle magic, they need help keeping up with their studies in war history so they don't fail their next exam. If they succeed, they might be able to give the party access to the academy through their good faith. **War Flashbacks.** After the Sorcerer was put to sleep, several of the monsters they've faced in their life begin to terrorize the nearby surroundings. In order to stop these memories from destroying the area, the party must figure out how to wake up the Sorcerer. If the party figures out why this happened in the first place, they might be rewarded extra and asked to solve the problem at its roots.

\page # Metamagic Options ### Aimed Spell When you cast a spell that requires a single target you can see to make a saving throw, you can spend 1 sorcery point to instead make a melee or ranged spell attack against a target within range. On a hit, the target is affected by the spell as if it failed the saving throw. ### Assisted Spell When a willing creature you can touch casts a spell, you can expend 2 sorcery points to alter the spell with one of your other Metamagic options. You expend additional sorcery points to impose the second Metamagic option. ### Controlled Spell When a spell you cast requires you to roll any number of dice to determine a random effect from the spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to choose the die result of any dice used for rolling the effect. You can use Controlled Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell. ### Forceful Spell When you cast a spell that requires you to target a single willing creature—such as *Dimension Door* or *Haste*—you can spend 2 sorcery points to instead force an unwilling creature within range to succeed a Charisma saving throw or be affected by the spell. ### Frugal Spell When you cast a spell with a gold cost, you can expend any number of sorcery points to reduce the cost of one material component by 10 gp for each sorcery point you expend. If you reduce a component’s cost to 0, you no longer need it to cast the spell. You can use Frugal Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell. ### Gifting Spell When you cast a spell with a range of self, you can spend a number of sorcery points equal to 1 + the spell's level to target a willing creature you touch instead (1 sorcery point if the spell is a cantrip). Any choices the spell would need you to make are instead made by the target. ``` ``` ### Morphing Spell When you cast a spell that summons at least one creature, you can change one summoned creature's type to another of your choice by spending 1 sorcery point per creature. Alternatively, you can spend 1 sorcery point per summoned creature to change it into another creature with a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower. ### Reshaped Spell When you cast a spell with a range of self (cone, cube, line, or radius), you can spend 1 sorcery point to change it to self (15-foot cone, 15-foot cube, 30-foot line, or 10-foot radius). You can use Reshaped Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell. ### Simplified Spell When you cast a spell with the ritual tag, you can spend 1 sorcery point to do so as an action. If the spell originally has a casting time of 1 action or 1 bonus action, casting it also doesn't expend a spell slot. ### Syphoning Spell When you cast a spell that deals damage, you can spend a number of sorcery points equal the spell's level to gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage dealt to one target of the spell (1 sorcery point if the spell is a cantrip). The chosen target must be a creature that is not an undead or a construct. ### Weaponized Spell When a weapon attack that benefits from a spell you cast is made, you can spend 1 sorcery point to let the attacker to use your Charisma modifier, instead of its Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage roll of the weapon attack. You can use Weaponized Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell.

Maleficent Patron

For those looking to make the lives of others harder, otherworldly beings adept in the art of curses, hexes, and jinxes extend a deceptively welcoming hand. Examples of maleficent patrons include hag covens, sentient weapons, and overthrown gods. ## Subclass Features ### Expanded Spell List ***1st-level Warlock feature***
|Spell Level|Spells| |:---:|:--------------------| | 1st |*Detect Evil and Good*, *Hideous Laughter*| | 2nd |*Blindness/Deafness*, *Silence* | | 3rd |*Bestow Curse*, *Slow* | | 4th |*Phantasmal Killer*, *Polymorph* | | 5th |*Dominate Person*, *Geas* | ### Bonus Cantrip ***1st-level Warlock feature***
You learn the cantrip *Chill Touch*. This cantrip counts as a warlock spell for you, but doesn’t count against the number of warlock cantrips you know. ### Accursed Magic ***1st-level Warlock feature***
While a creature is under the effects of a spell you cast, you gain a +1 bonus to your attack rolls made against it and it gains a –1 penalty to saving throws it makes to end or avoid a spell you cast. At 10th level, the bonus and penalty each increase by 1 (a +2 bonus and a –2 penalty). ### Lingering Malice ***6th-level Warlock feature***
When you cast a warlock spell that requires concentration and affect only a single creature when you cast it, you can ignore its concentration requirements for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 round). Once this feature's effects end, you must concentrate on the spell to maintain it, as normal. This feature's effects end early if you use this feature again or if the affected creature is targeted by the spell *Remove Curse.* When this feature's effects are ended with the spell *Remove Curse*, the spell affected by this feature also immediately ends early. ### Spite ***10th-level Warlock feature***
You can ignore the consequences of any curses affecting you. Further, when a creature falls under the effects of a spell you cast with Lingering Malice, you can choose one curse currently affecting you. The target also falls under the effects of that curse until your spell affecting it ends or the curse affecting you ends, whichever's first. ### Eternal Damnation ***14th-level Warlock feature***
When you cast a warlock spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can double its duration. Further, when you use Lingering Malice, you can ignore the spell's concentration requirements for its full duration instead of for a number of rounds. Once you do, you can't use this feature this way again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend spell slot of 5th-level or higher to do so again.

\page # Additional Notes For The Subclass

At 10th level, you can grant a +2 bonus instead. ``` ``` ## Subclass Implementation If you are unsure on how to implement the Subclass into your game world, here are some suggestions on how to do so. ### Creating Witchlings People empowered by a witch's dark magic—whether that'd be acquired at birth or by deal—are known as witchlings. The manifestation of these powers often bring them towards the dredges of society and bring them to either be hermits found isolated from the rest of a settlement, suspicious merchants making their own living in irreputable back alleys, or in the vicinity of whomever lives they choose to influence. ### Quests To Be The Subclass A collection or quests to become the subclass. **Blood Bound.** An enchanted weapon splattered in the blood of a monster attempts to communicate with you. The only way to figure out what it's saying requires either help from someone more powerful or putting rare materials to particular use. Should you make a pact with the weapon after properly communicating with it, you learn one spell related to the monster whose blood triggered the communication (DM's discretion). **Faustian Bargain.** A hag offers you a deal to get out of a difficult situation: either deal with their challenge tailor made for your group, or accept them as your patron. ### Quests Involving The Subclass A collection of quests related to the subclass. **Accursed Hunter.** A man with a sword embedded in their right arm uses it to hunt and attack the party. They seem to be under the influence of something else as their body is covered in curses.

School of Alchemy

Those indoctrinated into the school of alchemy use the meeting place between the natural and the supernatural to create a melting pot of effects and remedies. These potioneers create suspicious stews and magical brews that grant whatever power or poison they wish. ## Subclass Features ### Cauldron Bubble ***2nd-level Wizard feature***
You gain proficiency with alchemist's supplies. You can use it, a bottle, a vial, or a cauldron as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells. Further, when you attack with a vial, you can be considered proficient with it and use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. ### Toil and Trouble ***2nd-level Wizard feature***
When you use the Ready action to ready a wizard spell of 5th-level or lower, you can imbue it into a vial to create a special potion. This potion can be drunk or thrown up to 30 feet with the Use an Object action. To hit an unwilling target with a vial you throw this way, you must hit with a ranged attack made with an improvised weapon. While imbued this way: - You don't need to concentrate on the spell and can have it readied indefinitely. Once released, the spell ends after a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence modifier if its original duration was longer (minimum of 1 round). - The spell can only be released when a creature drinks or is hit by the potion, and the spell only targets the drinker or hit target, even if it is no longer within range. You don't use your reaction to release the spell this way and a creature hit by the potion is also considered hit by the first attack roll imposed by casting the spell, if any. Once you cast a spell this way again, the potion loses its effect and no long readies the spell, unless you expend raw materials when you ready the spell. The amount of raw materials you must expend to do so is worth 50 times the spell's level in gp (cantrips requires 10 gp worth of materials). ``` ``` ### Jinxed Ingredients ***6th-level Wizard feature***
You can perform the following options (no action required): - **Eye of Newt.** When a creature you can see falls under the effects of a potion—such as a potion of healing or a your Toil and Trouble's special potion—you can have the target also be subjected to the effects of one of the following items of your choice: acid, alchemist fire, antitoxin, basic poison, oil, or potion of healing. - **Toe of Frog.** When a creature falls under the effects of a potion created using your Toil and Trouble, you can have it subjected to the spell's full duration as a curse, provided the spell did not require concentration. The spell can still be ended early, such as by conditions outlined in the spell or by targeting the creature with the spell *Remove Curse*. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest. ### Suspicious Stew ***10th-level Wizard feature***

Marksmanship

Delivering a spell is just as important as know-ing how the cast it. By using the deadly tools of man, wizards studing the school of marks-manship learn to lace projectiles in arcane magic all to immediately confirm whether or not their target bends to their will. ## Subclass Features ### Arcane Arms ***2nd-level Wizard feature***

Moreover, you can use your Intelligence modifier instead of Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls made with these weapons. ### Marksmage ***2nd-level Wizard feature***
You can roll a ranged weapon attack in place of a spell attack. Further, if you see a creature make a Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution saving throw to avoid or end a spell you cast, you can make a ranged weapon attack against it as if it were part of the saving throw. On a hit, you have the target either make the saving throw at disadvantage or—even if it succeeds the saving throw—take all damage failing the roll would impose. On a critical hit, the target automatically fails the saving throw. On a miss, the target automatically succeeds it. ### Reliable Spellfire ***6th-level Wizard feature***
Once per turn, when you hit with a ranged weapon attack as a part of a spell, you can have the target also suffer the weapon attack's normal effects if it didn't already. ### Covering Fire ***10th-level Wizard feature***
You can have your base AC be treated as equal to your Spell save DC while you benefit from cover. Further, if you're holding a ranged weapon and can take reactions when you see a critical hit scored against you or a target within 60 feet of you, you can expend a spell slot (no action required) to have the triggering attack not double its damage dice. If you expend a spell slot of 5th-level or higher to use this feature, the attack also misses instead. ### Headshot ***14th-level Wizard feature***
You can use your Marksmage feature on a target making an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw to avoid or end a spell you cast. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Those who wish to horde such techniques may take out those seeking it or become specialty hires for tasks that are far dirtier and behind the scenes. If you use my [**Spellslinger Martial Archetype**](#p48) in your world, you can have those under the Marksmanship Arcane Tradition act as their rival counterpart as they contrast both in the number of attacks each make and in the level disparity between their individual spell lists. ### Quests To Be The Subclass A collection or quests for training in the Wizard School. **One's Own Medicine.** To beat a certain hunter Wizard aiming at you, the best options is to use their own skills against them. Before they get the chance to take you out, you need to overcome their magical resistance by using a specific spell scroll along with marksmanship. **Lovecraftian Mystery.** After a creature has affected your mind, you begin to see strange visions about nonexistent tools and esoteric enigmas. To figure out what it means, you need to find literature about the creature which just so happens to include teachings of the Arcane Tradition. **Teacher's Thesis.** Your master's parting gift was a pile of notes and documents on how to bind spells onto ammunition. Unfortunately, the complex writings and formulae requires you to seek out another wizard to help decipher it. ### Quests Involving The Subclass A collection of quests that involve a Marksman Wizard. **Loving Masterwork.** A Magic Craftsman asks the party to deliver their newest weapon to their Wizard lover in their place. If the anniversary gift is delivered, the party could recieve esoteric knowledge on various magic locations. If the gift is stolen, the party is hunted down by both the Craftsman and Wizard. **Tower Of Execution.** A group of Wizards holed up in a tower are suspected of killing the royal family. The party is tasked with getting into the fortress and finding out who hired them for the execution. On a success, the party may take the tower for themselves or gain the backing of a whole faction.

\page # Fighting Styles To make fighting styles easier to choose and understand, the list of options available to all classes has been split into two categories known as core and advanced fighting style options. Although the options are split, the categorizations do not impact the mechanics of the game (i.e. they're somewhat arbitrary).

However, you can allow the target to expend one of its hit dice to instead regain hit points equal to the roll. ### Delayed Fighting Whenever you make an initiative roll, your attack rolls have advantage against creatures with a higher initiative than you until the end of your next turn. - When you use a reaction, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC until the end of the current turn. If the reaction is made in response to getting hit, you can potentially cause the attack to miss. ### Dirty Fighting Once per turn when you hit with a weapon attack, you can forgo adding your weapon's damage die to the damage roll to have the target blinded, deafened, poisoned, or silenced until the end of its next turn or it takes damage. - You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls against creatures that cannot see, cannot move, cannot speak, cannot hear, are poisoned, or you hit with advantage on the attack roll. ### Diverse Fighting When you hit with a weapon attack and deal more than one type of damage, you can either change all the damage types to one of the types dealt or you have one of the damage types affect another target within 5 feet of the original instead. Each target also takes 2 extra damage of one type dealt to it. ### Evasive Fighting When you're attacked while you can move, you can use a reaction to move up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.

For each die reduced, your attack deals an extra 1d6 damage. You can do this once per turn. ### Feral Fighting When an unarmed strike or natural weapon hits as a part of an action, bonus action, or reaction you take, this attack and all others against the target made on the same turn gain a cumulative +1 bonus to their damage rolls (maximum of +5). ### Flurry Fighting When you attack with a light weapon, you can treat it as a light melee weapon in your off-hand for the purposes of performing Two-Weapon Fighting with it. - When you score a critical hit with a light weapon, you can forgo doubling the damage dice to instead immediately make one additional attack with the weapon; you cannot forgo doubling the dice if this attack is also a critical hit. ### Focused Fighting When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can focus on it until the start of your next turn (no action required). Your concentration on an effect can't be broken as a result of taking damage dealt by the target no higher than your AC. ### Getaway Driver When you take the Disengage or Dodge action, you can forgo the benefits of the action to instead grant it to a creature or vehicle of your choice within 5 feet of you until the start of your next turn. * You can take the Disengage action in place of one attack you make with the Attack action. ### Hands-On Fighting When you grapple a creature, you can choose to concentrate (as if you were concentrating on a spell). While it's grappled this way, it's also restrained. Once the target is no longer restrained, you can't target it again with this fighting style until you finish a short or long rest. ``` ``` ### Improvised Fighting Before you determine if you hit or miss on an attack made with an improvised weapon, you can add any number of the weapon's damage dice to the attack roll. On a hit, each damage die used in the attack roll automatically rolls a 2 for its damage roll. ### Interpose When you see a creature attack a target within 5 feet of you, other than you, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your level. You must wield a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction. - When you reduce the damage another creature takes, you can suffer any of the excess damage it takes in its place. ### Munitions Expert When an attack you make with a weapon that uses ammunition misses by 2 or less, you can use a bonus action to change the attack's target to another within range and get a +2 bonus to the attack roll, potentially hitting the new target. - You ignore the loading property and you can load a weapon with a hand you’re wielding the weapon with. ### Natural Fighting When a creature you can see or hear within your reach takes damage from a source not directly caused by a creature such as the terrain or a trap, you can use a reaction to increase the damage dealt to it by half your level + your proficiency bonus. ### Pacifist While conscious, you subtract your proficiency bonus from damage dealt by you and creatures of your choice that are within 5 feet of you or damaging a target within 5 feet of you. - When a creature other than you is within 5 feet of you and is reduced to 0 hit points or reduces another creature to 0 hit points, you can have the damage dealt be nonlethal. ### Point-Blank Shooter When you make a ranged attack roll against a target within 5 feet of you, the roll ignores disadvantage imposed by hostile creatures within 5 feet of you and gains a +1 bonus. - When you make an opportunity attack, you can make one ranged attack in place of the one melee attack. ### Precision When you roll two or more d20s on a weapon attack roll and hit, you can treat a number of the attack's damage dice as a result of your choice that you can roll on the die. The number of dice you can affect is equal to the number of d20s rolled for the attack roll that, if used, would cause the attack to hit.

\page ### Protector When a creature you can see other than you is within 5 feet of you and is about to be hit or fail a Dexterity saving throw, you can use your reaction to grant it the benefits of half cover until the end of the current turn, potentially causing the attack to miss or the saving throw to succeed. You must wield a shield to use this reaction. ### Provoker When you take the Help action to grant advantage against a creature, you can target all creatures within 5 feet of you instead. Each creature targeted this way grants the advantage to the next ally that attacks it instead of one ally you choose. - When you use the Help action to grant advantage against a creature, that creature has disadvantage on attack rolls that don’t target you until the start of your next turn. ### Quickdraw When you make an initiative roll, you can replace any weapon attack rolls you make before the end of your next turn with your initiative roll. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you cannot score a critical hit by doing so. - You gain a +2 bonus to your initiative roll. ### Reckless Fighting Before or after you make a weapon attack, you can add the AC bonus of a shield you wield to its attack or damage roll by forgoing the AC bonus until the start of your next turn or until you’re attacked (whichever comes first). - You weapon attacks gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls. ### Resisted Fighting When you hit a creature only with a damage type it has resistance to, you impose disadvantage on the first saving throw it makes before the end of its next turn. - Once per turn, you can treat a target you hit as if it has resistance to your attack's damage. ### Restful Fighting When you finish a short or long rest, you and each creature you rest with can grant advantage to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes of its choice before it finishes a short or long rest. - The time it takes to finish a short or long rest is halved for you and one creature of your choice that you rest with. ### Ruinous Wrestler When you push a target away from you, you can have the ground beneath where the target traveled become difficult terrain for 1 minute. This terrain has no effect on you. - When you avoid being shoved or pushed away by a target, you can use your reaction to have the target pushed up to 5 feet away from you instead. ``` ``` ### Silvered Fighting When you deal damage with a silvered weapon or a piece of silvered ammunition, you gain a +1 bonus to the damage roll and can change the damage type dealt by it to radiant. - Before you make a weapon attack, you can spend 1sp to temporarily silver a weapon or up to 5 pieces of ammunition until the end of your next turn. ### Skill Tactics You can forgo any attacks made with the Attack action to instead take an action that is not from a feature—such as the Search action or an action improvised by the DM—and that requires you to make an ability check using a skill you have proficiency with. - You gain a +2 bonus to ability checks made against hostile creatures. ### Spellblade You learn two cantrips of your choice from any spell list that require you to make an attack roll. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for them (choose when you gain this fighting style). Whenever you gain a level, you can replace one of these cantrips with another that meets the same requirements. ### Tandem Fighting When you use a reaction in response to an ally within 5 feet of you taking an action or reaction, that ally can add a +2 bonus to one roll of its choice made as a part of that action until the end of the current turn. ### Terrain Fighting When you hit a target on difficult terrain, the target can’t be moved out of the difficult terrain until the end of its next turn or until the terrain disappears. ### Tracker Fighting When you hit a creature, it creates a trail wherever it moves that disappears at the end of your next turn. As a bonus action, you and your allies can see the trail until the end of the current turn. While on the trail, you and allies spend 1 foot of movement for every 2 feet moved and gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls made against the creature making the trail. ### Trailblazer While you aren't wearing heavy armor, you can use a bonus action to create a trail wherever you move on the current turn that disappears at the start of your next turn. Your allies can see the trail and, while on it, spend 1 foot of movement for every 2 feet they move.

\page ### Tunnel Fighting If you haven't moved during the turn, you can choose an area in a 15-foot cone originating from you as a bonus action. Until the start of your next turn, your speed becomes 0 and you can make opportunity attacks against creatures that moves 5 feet or more within the area, so long as it's also within your reach. ### Turtler You can treat a shield as a martial melee weapon you are proficient with that deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage on a hit. You add your Strength modifier to the attack and damage rolls when you attack with it, as normal. - When an attack misses you by rolling a die result of 10 or lower, you can make an opportunity attack against the attacker using a shield. ### Unarmored Fighting When you are hit by an attack, you can reduce the damage you take by half your level + your proficiency bonus as a reaction. You must not be wearing armor to use this reaction. - In addition, while you are not wearing any armor, your AC equals 12 + your Dexterity or Constitution modifier (your choice). You can use a shield and still gain this benefit. ``` ``` ### Vengeful Fighting When a creature you can see scores a critical hit on an ally or reduces an ally to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to make a weapon attack against that attacker. - When a creature hits an ally you can see, any d20 attack roll you make before the end of your next turn that is against the attacker can be rerolled if the d20 rolled a 1. ### Weak Pointer Once per turn when you hit a creature, you can mark the place you hit the target until the end of your next turn. Any attack made against the mark gains a –2 penalty to the attack roll, but deals an extra 4 damage to the target on a hit. ### Weave Warrior Whenever you deal damage with a weapon attack that isn't bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing, you can roll for damage twice and choose either total. - When a spell is cast at a creature within 5 feet of you or by it, you can change the damage type of any weapon attacks you make before the end of your next turn to force damage or one type dealt by the spell. ### Whirling Dervish When your turn ends, you can use your reaction to whirl. Until your next turn starts, you can force creatures that enter your reach or end their turn there to succeed a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 damage of a type dealt by a held weapon (DC equals 8 + your attack bonus with that weapon).

Weapon Properties

Many weapons have special properties related to their use, as shown in the Weapons table. **Ammunition.** You cannot attack with the weapon unless you expend a piece of ammunition as a part of doing so. You can draw a piece of ammunition from a container as part of the attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon). **Finesse.** When making an attack with the weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls. **Heavy.** You have disadvantage on attack rolls made with the weapon if either the weapon is a melee weapon and your Strength score is 12 or lower, or the weapon is a ranged weapon and your Dexterity score is 12 or lower. **Light.** You can use the weapon to perform two-weapon fighting. Once on each of your turns when you use the Attack action to attack with the weapon, you can perform two-weapon fighting to make an additional attack as a part of the same action. This attack must use a different light weapon that you're holding in the other hand. You don't add your ability modifier to the damage of the additional attack, unless that modifier is negative. **Loading.** After you make an attack with the weapon, you cannot make another on the same turn using the same action, unless you forgo an attack you can make with the Attack action or you load it again using either your action or bonus action. **Range.** A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range in parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon's normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon's long range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can't attack a target beyond the weapon's long range. **Reach.** The weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it, as well as when determining your reach for opportunity attacks with it. **Special.** A weapon with the special property has unusual rules governing its use, explained in the weapon's description. **Thrown.** You can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack with it and can draw the weapon as a part of making the ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. **Two-Handed.** This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it. **Versatile.** This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property—the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack.

##### Two-Weapon Fighting, Revised The mechanics of the revised Light property and the mechanics of two-weapon fighting are one in the same.

##### Replace Weapon Damage Type When you buy a weapon, you can choose to have the weapon deal your choice of Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage instead of the weapon's original damage type. The description of the new weapon changes accordingly (no other benefits).

## Special Weapon Types ### Mounted Weapons You can mount a weapon on a vehicle or piece of barding by spending half the weapon's original price (minimum of 1 cp). A creature wearing the barding, a creature riding the vehicle, or a creature riding a mount wearing the barding can use the weapon.

\page ## Custom Weapons Because some may wish to expand onto the list of weapons available in dungeons and dragons, the following rules for creating custom weapons can be used to do so. These rules are meant to emulate possible rules used when creating the official list of weapons for the game. ### Standard Design Process #### Step 1: Weapon Category Choose whether you are creating a simple or martial weapon. Simple weapons start with a 1d6 damage die, while martial weapons start with a 1d8 damage die. #### Step 2: Weapon Properties Choose what properties the weapon you're creating has from the Customize Weapon Table. You can only proceed to step 3 if the weapon meets all the prerequisites required by your chosen properties. You can choose to skip this step by not adding any properties to the weapon. Each weapon has a die size modifier, which affects the weapon's damage die based on the dice chain shown below:

**Dice Chain:** 1 — 1d4 — 1d6 — 1d8 — 1d10 — 1d12

A positive modifier (d+) changes the weapon's damage die to the die size one step right of the original die size on the dice chain. A negative modifier (d–) changes the weapon's damage die to the die size one step left of the original die size on the dice chain. ``` ``` ##### Customize Weapon Table | Property | Prerequisites | Die Size
Modifier | |:------------------------|:--|:-:| | Ammunition^*1*| Has the Range property. | — | | Heavy | Has the Two-Handed property. | d+ | | Finesse^*2* | Lacks the Heavy property. | d– | | Light | Lacks the Versatile and
Two-Handed properties.| d– | | Loading | Has the Ammunition property. | d+ | | Range (30/120) | Lacks the Thrown property. | d– | | Reach | Lacks the Range property. | d– | | Thrown
(Range 20/60)| Lacks the Range property. | — | | Two-Handed | Lacks the Light and Versatile properties. | d+ | | Versatile (d+) | Lacks the Heavy and Light properties. | — |

^*1**If the ammunition property is chosen, you must also choose what type of ammunition is required to use the weapon.*
^*2**The finesse property doesn't modify the weapon's damage die size if the weapon also has the Light property.*

##### Designing Custom Weapon Properties Should you choose to add a weapon property with unique effects—such as through the Special property—you must determine its Die Size Modifier before applying it to a weapon. Beneficial effects typically grant a d– while a deterimental effect typically grants a d+.

#### Step 3: Melee or Ranged Weapon If the weapon has the Range property, it is a ranged weapon. If it has the Thrown property, choose whether the weapon is a melee or ranged weapon. If it has neither property, the weapon is a melee weapon. #### Step 4: Damage Type Choose whether the weapon deals Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage on a hit. #### Step 5: Additional Information A custom weapon has a total market value of 50gp and weighs an amount of your choice (typically 2–10 lbs). ### Overtuned Weapons A weapon is overtuned if its damage die is larger than the what would be expected from the standard design process. Custom overtuned weapons typically cost an additional 250gp per die size larger than what is expected.

Alchemical Items

## Crafting Alchemical Items Alchemical items can be crafted with alchemist's supplies. When you craft an item using the tools, you can choose to replace any DC set by the item with 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. In addition, if you have proficiency with alchemist's supplies, you can use the tools to craft one alchemical item worth 50gp or less. Crafting an item this way takes 1 hour and can be done as a light activity during a long rest. If your proficiency bonus is doubled for ability checks you make with the set of tools, you can craft an item this way by taking the Use an Object action with a set of alchemist's supplies. ## List of Alchemical Items ### Basic Antidote, Vial *adventuring gear (consumable), worth 50 gp* As an action, you can drink the potion to neutralize one effect afflicting only the poisoned condition on you.

Additionally, the attack ignores half cover. When you wear a polished set of armor, you ignore any penalties to movement it grants you. ### Garden Bomb *adventuring gear (consumable), worth 100 gp* As an action, you can throw this seed up to 20 feet, bursting into plant matter on impact.

While scented this way for 1 hour, you have advantage on Charisma checks made against creatures within 10 feet of you that can also smell you.

Make a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the sun bomb as an improvised weapon.

Once you use this property, you can't do so again until the next dawn. **Curse.** This item is cursed. Attuning to it curses you until you are targeted by the *Remove Curse* spell or similar magic. If a spell, such as *Revivify*, only has the effect of restoring you to life, the spell's effects are cancelled and the armor animates instead. This curse ignores the number of time you have used the armor's properties and only occurs if both the armor is unanimated and you are dead. ***Story of Greed.*** *Karnast pursued immortality without questioning any of the bodies they stepped over to get there.

Whenever the target rolls an ability check, saving throw, damage roll, or roll that restores hit points, it can expend the vengeance, roll it, and add it to the result, potentially turning a failed d20 roll into a success. A creature can only have one vengeance die at a time. Once a creature gains this vengeance die, it can't gain this die again until it finishes a long rest. |Rarity|Vengeance Die| Price (gp) | |:-----|:-------:|-----------:| | Uncommon | d6 | 1,000.00 | | Rare | d12| 4,000.00 | | Very Rare | d20| 16,000.00 | **Curse.** This item is cursed.
