184<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>RACES | CHANGELING</div>
185# Part 1: Races
186## Changeling
187
188Changelings are subtle shapeshifters capable of disguising their appearance. Their ability to adopt other creatures’ guises makes them consummate spies and criminals.
189
190### Personality
191Changelings are commonly harmless, passive people and are uninterested in politics and social affairs. Due to their capricious ways of life many people have come to distrust the changelings which has led to them becoming social recluses or more commonly has pushed them to create fake identities to escape persecution.
192
193Having no culture of their own the changeling slip into other's societies and blend in. Rather than creating their own art and achievements the Changeling are happy with claiming other societies' as their own. This nomadic lifestyle has led the changeling to become exceptionally adaptable people. Changeling will not simply shapeshift into a new person but rather create a new whole one. Most changeling will set up a handful of personas so if one is compromised they can disappear and switch to one of their others. Their personas that they create are incredibly realistic and have their own personality traits, backgrounds and network of friends. The changeling can be evasive and will often try to avoid confrontation or anything that will draw attention to themselves.
194
195### Description
196Changelings can look like anyone at any given time though they do have a true form. Their natural look can be scary to some due to their lack of detail and distinctive features. Their skin tone is always pale, the darkest tone some have is a light grey. They have large white eyes but have no pupils and are circled by thick black rings. Their noses are small and subtle with no detail.
197
198The changeling's body structures are slender, even more so than elves and border on being frail. Their hair colour is most commonly a light shade of silver followed by platinum and blonde. In rarer cases their hair can be pale shades of green, pink and blue. Also similar to elves the changeling lack body and facial hair.
199
200### Changeling Names
201Changeling names are usually monosyllabic and seem to other races more like nicknames than proper names. In fact, changelings collect names and may go by entirely different names in different social circles. They make no distinction between male and female names.
202
203**Male and Female Names:** Bin, Dox, Fie, Hars, Jin, Lam, Nit, Ot, Paik, Ruz, Sim, Toox, Yug.
204
205### Changeling Traits
206Changelings are subtle shapeshifters capable of disguising their appearance. Their ability to adopt other creatures’ guises makes them consummate spies and criminals.
207

209
210** *Ability Score Increase.* ** Your Dexterity and Charisma scores increase by 1.
211

229## Minotaur (Krynn)
230
231In the world of Krynn, the setting of the Dragonlance saga, minotaurs live in an honorâ€based society where strength determines power in both the gladiatorial arenas and in daily life. At home on both land and sea, the minotaurs of Krynn are ferocious sea raiders who rank as the ablest and most dangerous sailors in the world.
232

236
237```
238```
239
240### Arrogant Conquerors
241
242Minotaurs embrace the notion that the weak should perish and that the strong must rule—and that they themselves are the strongest and most powerful race on Krynn. They believe their destiny is to rule the world, and that their dominion will be one of conquest and military might. To that end, all minotaurs are trained in weapons, armor, and tactics from a young age.
243
244The minotaurs’ arrogance stems from a combination of strength, cunning, and intellect—three virtues they hold dear, and which they deem the foundation of their greatness. They believe that this combination of traits is what sets them apart from their rivals.
245
246### Trial by Combat
247
248Minotaur society is built on the principle that might makes right, and that considerations of justice are unnecessary. The minotaurs are led by an emperor served by a council of eight minotaurs called the Supreme Circle. All posts within the government, including the emperor’s, are won by the strongest and cleverest minotaurs, as proved by combat in the Circus.
249
250The Circus is the only means by which a minotaur can rise in society. It is a grand, annual display of single combat in which minotaurs battle each other for supremacy. Minotaur youths must prove themselves in the Circus to earn their passage to adulthood.
251
252Participation in the Circus is yet another reason why minotaurs look down on other folk. To the minotaurs, death and glory in battle are a natural process. Combat is the key to ensuring that the strong survive, and that the weak are set aside before they can undermine their superiors’ grand schemes of conquest.
253
254### Honor above All
255
256For all their cruelty, minotaurs are bound by a powerful sense of honor. Each victory brings greater honor to both individual minotaurs and their families. Defeat invokes a stain that only death can fully wash away.
257
258Honor demands that minotaurs keep their word once it is offered, and each minotaur remains faithful to friends and clan above all else. Minotaurs rarely befriend folk of other races, as they all too often encounter them only in battle. If a minotaur does strike up a friendship, it is typically with other creatures that display the minotaurs’ virtues and love of battle. To such friends, a minotaur becomes an ally whose support will never waver.
259
260### Sea Reavers
261In the world of Krynn, the minotaurs rule a chain of islands dominated by the isles of Mithas and Kothas. Bound by the sea on all sides, the minotaurs focused their tenacity, strength, and cunning to become some of the most skilled and ferocious mariners in the world. They range across the water in their ships, raiding and pillaging as they wish. Minotaurs sometimes engage in trade, but they much prefer to take what they want by force. After all, as the strongest of all folk, they deserve the treasures and goods that lesser creatures have gathered.
262

264<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>RACES | MINOTAUR</div>
265
266### Minotaur Names
267Minotaur clan names originate with a great hero whose descendants take on that name as their own, doing their best to live up to the ideals of their ancestor. On Krynn, clan names are always preceded by the prefix “esâ€â€ for minotaurs from lands controlled by the island of Mithas, or “deâ€â€ for minotaurs from areas under the sway of Kothas.
268
269**Male Names:** Beliminorgath, Cinmac, Dastrun, Edder, Galdar, Ganthirogani, Hecariverani, Kyris, Tosher, Zurgas
270
271**Female Names:** Ayasha, Calina, Fliara, Helati, Keeli, Kyri, Mogara, Sekra, Tariki, Telia
272
273**Clan Names:** Athak, Bregan, Entragath, Kaziganthi, Lagrangli, Mascun, Orilg, Sumarr, Teskos, Zhakan
274
275### Minotaur Traits
276Your minotaur character possesses a number of traits that reflect the power and superiority of your kind.
277
278** *Ability Score Increase.* ** Your Strength score increases `..` by 1.
279
280** *Conqueror’s Virtue.* ** From a young age, you focused on one of the three virtues of strength, cunning, or intellect. Your choice of your Strength, Intelligence, or Wisdom score increases by 1.
281
282** *Age.* ** Minotaurs enter adulthood at around the age of 17 and can live up to 150 years.
283
284** *Alignment.* ** Minotaurs believe in a strict code of honor, and thus tend toward law. They are loyal to the death and make implacable enemies, even as their brutal culture and disdain for weakness push them toward evil.
285
286** *Size.* ** Minotaurs typically stand well over 6 feet tall and weigh an average of 300 pounds. Your size is Medium.
287
288** *Speed.* ** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
289
290** *Horns.* ** You are never unarmed. You are proficient with your horns, which are a melee weapon that deals 1d10 piercing damage. Your horns grant you advantage on all checks made to shove a creature, but not to avoid being shoved yourself.

297
298** *Sea Reaver.* ** You gain proficiency with navigator’s tools and vehicles (water).
299
300** *Languages.* ** You can speak, read, and write Common.
301
302### Minotaur Bonds
303When creating a minotaur character rooted in Krynn (or in any campaign that draws on the backstory presented here), you can use the following table of bonds to help flesh out your character. Use this table in addition to or in place of your background’s bond or a bond of your creation.
304
305| d6 | Bond |
306|:----:|:-------------|
307| 1 | My opponent in the Circus for my trial of adulthood was chosen years ago. Though we sparred only once, I fell deeply in love. Rather than fight my beloved to the death, I fled from home and have been branded a coward. |
308| 2 | I’m the last of my clan. If I die without achieving great deeds, the hero who is my clan’s patron will be forgotten. |
309| 3 | I was part of a raiding party that was defeated and enslaved. I’ve escaped and sworn revenge. |
310| 4 | I never shared my people’s love of violence. I’m part of a conspiracy to topple the emperor’s violent regime. |
311| 5 | I claim that I am an exile from my people, but in truth I have been sent to serve as a spy. I’m expected to leave secret messages telling my folk of villages and towns that are ripe targets for conquest. |
312| 6 | I’m the last survivor of a ship wrecked in a storm. Occasionally, the spirits of my shipmates appear in my dreams and ask me to complete tasks they left unfinished in life. |
313

315##### Minotaurs in Your Campaign
316We chose the minotaurs of Krynn as the model for our depiction of this race for a very specific reason. Tying them to the sea and a distinct culture helps give minotaurs more flavor than serving as just another big, brutish monster race. After all, we already have half†orcs in the Player’s Handbook and the goliath in our Elemental Evil Player’s Companion. As an added bonus, these minotaurs are Medium (as opposed to Large for the monstrous version) and are thus much easier to balance against the Player’s Handbook races.
317
318Casting minotaurs as conquestâ€minded, honorable pirates gives them a distinct flavor while providing many roleplaying hooks for players. When adding a new race to your own campaign, it’s always a good idea to think about its culture, its relationship to other folk, and how the two can combine to give it a unique place in your world. Creating a table of bonds such as the one provided for minotaurs can be a good place to start.
319
320Casting minotaurs as mariners has some interesting implications for a setting. The Labyrinthine Recall ability makes minotaurs perfect sailors, as they can travel the seas with little fear of becoming lost or losing their way. A minotaur navigator is an unmatched master of the sea. When adapting races to your campaign, look for similar hooks that might be buried in special abilities or elements of a creature’s story that you might otherwise overlook.
321
322Remember that the story we provide is only a starting point. Modifying this minotaur to move it away from its roots in Krynn is as easy as swapping the proficiencies provided by Sea Reaver for some other option that better reflects your setting. As a guideline, consider swapping the tool proficiencies for proficiency in any one skill, for proficiency with thieves’ tools, or for proficiency with two tools other than thieves’ tools. </div>

325<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>RACES | SHIFTER</div>
326
327## Shifter
328
329Shifters, sometimes called “the weretouched,†are descended from humans and natural lycanthropes, now nearly extinct on Khorvaire. Shifters cannot fully change shape but can take on animalistic features—a state they call shifting. Shifters have evolved into a unique race that breeds true. They have a distinct culture with its own traditions and identity
330
331### Personality
332Shifters commonly have chaotic personalities and experience extremes in their emotions. They are often temperamental and are liable to change moods in swift and dramatic fashion. Shifters find it difficult to control their emotions, especially in stressful situations. Some have learnt to control their emotions however, it is obvious to others that they're finding it difficult to do so.
333
334The shifter mind-set is built up around the idea of being self-sufficient and being able to conjure inner strength in times of need rather than relying on one's allies. Shifters can seem overly cautious or constantly ready for future events. A common saying among shifters is "preparing for the journey yet to come" which reflects how they believe the world can change instantly and how important it is to be prepared to avoid the danger that those changes can bring.
335
336Shifters believe that the reward for independence is freedom and thus they feel uncomfortable around those who attempt to impose their will and beliefs upon others. It is also common for a shifter to feel restricted in a human settlement with its rules and law enforcement.
337
338Due to their predator instincts shifters can't help acting or thinking like animals and think in terms of hunting and prey. Like wolves longtooth shifters feel the urge to form packs with companions whether they be family or even a group consisting of no other shifters. They make useful companions as they work well in teams, capable of coordinating attacks and will come to the rescue of any of its pack members.
339
340Razorclaw shifters are more independent, self-reliant and adaptable than their longtooth cousins. They're just as loyal to their group as longtooth shifters however, they expect their companions to be just as self-reliant and capable as they are. Razorclaw shifters strive to carry their own weight within their groups.
341
342Shifters are accustomed to distrust and don't expect better treatment from the other races though, some try to earn trust with their companions through good deeds. Most shifters are neutral and are concerned more with their survival than ethics and morals.
343
344### Description
345Shifters resemble humans but with more animal like features. Their bodies are physically fit and lithe, they tend to move around in an animal like manner, crouching, springing and leaping. Like cats they have wide flat noses with large eyes, pointed ears and claw-like nails on both their toes and fingers. Their hair is thick and worn long and some have long sideburns to match. Longtooth shifters claim that werewolves are their ancestors and have canine features while the razorclaw shifters claim weretigers to be their ancestors and display feline features.

431<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>RACES | WARFORGED </div>
432
433## Warforged
434
435The warforged were made as the ideal soldiers to serve in the devastating Last War. Although they are constructs, they have much in common with living creatures, including emotions and social bonds, and perhaps even souls.
436
437### Personality
438Warforged can have unique personality traits though, being constructs, they are restricted in some ways. They experience anger, pain, fear and hatred like their human creators; not all warforged are incredibly reserved and pensive, hiding an array of emotions behind their metallic face. Their faces were not designed to display facial expressions and so it can seem like they are distant to the conversation. Despite their lack of physical facial expressions they're not completely without them as their eyes tend to brighten when experiencing strong or specific emotions.
439
440Some warforged are incredibly naive and lack introspection; however, many others are the opposite and question their existence, wonder if they have souls and ask what becomes of them in the after life. The more intelligent warforged create complex philosophies about what they perceive and learn. Though warforged can show loyalty to religions and organisations, typically they become loyal to a small group of comrades.
441
442Warforged often have little life experience as they spent most of their time assigned to one specific duty, usually soldiering. If there is one interest all warforged share it is the love of working and many create endless lists of goals and chores. They take pride in their work and work incredibly hard which makes them dislike idleness and failure. Warforged can excel at most tasks having a single-minded efficiency, especially in combat related roles.
443
444War and military conditioning create the foundation of warforged personalities, they understand duty, the chain of command and conflict. Due to their bodies more closely resembling males than females, most warforged prefer to be called "he" than "it". Some warforged adopt female names though most of their names are straightforward and are related to their job, abilities or rank. Many warforged simply accept the nicknames given to them by their comrades while others seek to earn more meaningful names that best describe them.
445
446### Description
447The warforged are made of stone, metal and wood fibres. The core of a warforged is a skeletal frame made of metal and stone with wood fibres acting as a muscular system. Covering the warforged is an outer shell of metal and stone plates. An internal network of tubes run through the warforged's body, these tubes are filled with a blood like fluid that is designed to lubricate and nourish their systems. Their hands have only two thick fingers and a thumb whilst their feet only have two broad toes.
448
449The warforged's face loosely resembles their human creators though they have a toothless jaw, heavy brow line and are lacking noses and hair. Each warforged has a ghulra engraved upon their foreheads. Each of these runes are unique to the warforged giving them a sense of individuality.
450
451The warforged have a sexless form and are considered to be mono-gender. The warforged are able to be repaired and modified by artificers or even themselves giving them an endless possibility to their appearances.
452
453### Warforged Names
454Warforged do not name themselves and only recently have begun to understand the need of other races to have names for everything. Many accept whatever names others see fit to give them, and warforged traveling with humans often are referred to by nicknames. Some warforged, however, have come to see having a name as a defining moment of their new existence, and thus search long and hard for the perfect name to attach to themselves.
455
456### Warforged Traits
457As a warforged, you have the following racial traits.
458
459** *Ability Score Increase.* ** Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 1.
460
461** *Size.* ** Warforged are generally broader and heavier than humans. Your size is Medium.
462
463** *Speed.* ** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
464
465** *Composite Plating.* ** Your construction incorporates wood and metal, granting you a +1 bonus to Armor Class.
466
467** *Living Construct.* ** Even though you were constructed, you are a living creature. You are immune to disease. You do not need to eat or breathe, but you can ingest food and drink if you wish.
468
469Instead of sleeping, you enter an inactive state for 4 hours each day. You do not dream in this state; you are fully aware of your surroundings and notice approaching enemies and other events as normal.
470
471** *Languages.* ** You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.

478<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>SUBRACES | REVENANT</div>
479
480## Subraces
481### Subrace: Revenant
482Having met a cruel and undeserved end, you have returned to the realm of the living. As a revenant, you thirst for revenge against those who wronged you in life, or seek to complete a final, critical task you left unfinished.
483
484The revenant subrace can be applied to any race that has a subrace, and replaces that race’s existing subrace options. Alternatively, you can apply this new subrace to a race without subrace options using the modification options provided below.
485
486Your DM might also allow you to take this subrace for a slain character. In that case, your character rises from the dead with its original subrace replaced (or with the necessary modifications made to its base traits), filled with a determination to seek vengeance or complete its mission.
487
488#### Racial Adjustments
489For races that don’t have subrace options, taking on the revenant subrace means making changes to your character’s base traits, as follows. (This playtest article provides options only for human and dragonborn characters. Because half-elves and half-orcs have no subrace options, they shouldn’t be used with these revenant subrace rules.)
490
491** *Human Revenant.* ** If you want to play a human revenant, modify the human’s Ability Score Increase trait to the following: Two different ability scores of your choice increase by 1. If you use the variant human traits, remove the Skills trait and the Feat trait.
492
493** *Dragonborn Revenant.* ** If you want to play a dragonborn revenant, modify the dragonborn’s Ability Score Increase trait to the following: Your Strength score increases by 1, and your Charisma score increases by 1. Additionally, your Draconic Ancestry trait uses necrotic damage as its damage type, replacing the damage type that applies to your breath weapon and your damage resistance.
494
495** *Tiefling Revenant.* ** If you use one of the two tiefling variants presented below, you can use any of those subraces to make a tiefling revenant, replacing the subrace options with the revenant subrace options.
496
497#### Ability Score Increase
498
499Your Constitution score increases by 1.
500
501#### Relentless Nature
502Your DM assigns a goal to you—typically, one related to your character’s death. The goal must be a specific task you can complete, such as slaying an enemy or liberating an area and its people. Until you fulfill that goal, you gain the following benefits:
503- If you are below half your hit point maximum at the start of your turn, you regain 1 hit point.
504- If you die, you return to life 24 hours after death. If your body is destroyed, you reform within 1 mile of the place of your death at a spot determined by the DM. If your equipment was also destroyed, you do not regain it.
505
506```
507```
508
509- You know the distance and direction between you and any creature involved in your goal, such as a person you seek vengeance against or someone you pledged to defend. This awareness fails if the creature is on another plane of existence.
510
511When your goal is complete, you finally find rest. You die and cannot be restored to life.

518<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>SUBRACES | TIEFLING VARIANTS </div>
519
520### Tiefling Variants
521As presented in the *Player’s Handbook*, all members of the tiefling race share some manner of diabolic origin. The following option allows you to instead create a tiefling with a demonic tie.
522
523All tieflings gain the following traits from the standard tiefling race of the *Player’s Handbook*:
524- Age
525- Alignment
526- Size
527- Speed
528- Darkvision
529
530Additionally, the following traits are modified from the Player’s Handbook:
531
532- ** *Ability Score Increase. *** Your Charisma score increases by 2.
533- ** *Languages.* ** You can speak, read, and write Common.
534
535#### Subraces
536
537This variant introduces new subraces for the tiefling. Each subrace offers traits in addition to the ones noted above. The race presented in the Player’s Handbook is the infernal tiefling, which is summarized here for ease of reference.
538
539#### Infernal Tiefling
540
541An infernal tiefling draws upon the power of the Nine Hells and its diabolic masters. These tieflings have the following additional features.
542
543- ** *Ability Score Increase.* ** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.
544- ** *Hellish Resistance.* ** As described in the *Player’s Handbook.*
545- ** *Infernal Legacy.* ** As described in the *Player’s Handbook.*
546- ** *Languages.* ** You can speak, read, and write Infernal.
547
548```
549```
550
551#### Abyssal Tiefling
552
553All abyssal tieflings trace their bloodline to the demons of the Abyss. These tieflings have the following additional features.
554- ** *Ability Score Increase.* ** Your Constitution score increases by 1.
555- ** *Abyssal Arcana.* ** Each time you finish a long rest, you gain the ability to cast cantrips and spells randomly determined from a short list. At 1st level, you can cast a cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can also cast a 1st-level spell. At 5th level, you can cast a 2nd-level spell.
556
557You can cast a spell gained from this trait only once until you complete your next long rest. You can cast a cantrip gained from this trait at will, as normal. For 1st-level spells whose effect changes if cast using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you cast the spell as if using a 2nd-level slot. Spells of 2nd level are cast as if using a 2nd-level slot.
558
559At the end of each long rest, you lose the cantrips and spells previously granted by this feature, even if you did not cast them. You replace those cantrips and spells by rolling for new ones on the Abyssal Arcana Spells table. Roll separately for each cantrip and spell. If you roll the same spell or cantrip you gained at the end of your previous long rest, roll again until you get a different result.

585
586# Part 2: Classes
587## Artificer
588
589A gnome sits hunched over a workbench, carefully using needle and thread to wave runes into a leather satchel. The bag shudders as she completes her work, and a sudden, loud pop echoes through the room as a portal to an extradimensional space springs to being in the bag’s interior. She beams with pride at her newly crafted bag of holding.
590
591A troll growls in hunger as it looms over a dwarf, who slides a long, metal tube from a holster at his belt. With a thunderous roar, a gout of flame erupts from the tube, and the troll’s growls turn into shrieks of panic as it turns to flee.
592
593An elf scrambles up the castle’s wall, Baron von Hendriks’ men close behind her. As she clambers over the battlements, she reaches into her satchel, pulls out three vials, mixes their contents into a small leather bag, and flings it at her pursuers. The bag bursts at their feet, trapping them in a thick, black glue as she makes her escape.
594
595Makers of magic-infused objects, artificers are defined by their inventive nature. Like wizards, they see magic as a complex system waiting to be decoded and controlled through a combination of thorough study and investigation. Artificers, though, focus on creating marvelous new magical objects. Spells are often too ephemeral and temporary for their tastes. Instead, they seek to craft durable, useful items.
596
597### Cunning Inventors
598Every artificer is defined by a specific craft. Artificers see mastering the basic methods of a craft as the first step to true progress, the invention of new methods and approaches. Some artificers are engineers, students of invention and warfare who craft deadly firearms that they can augment with magic. Other artificers are alchemists. Using their knowledge of magic and various exotic ingredients, they create potions and draughts to aid them on their adventures. Alchemy and engineering are the two most common areas of study for artificers, but others do exist.
599
600All artificers are united by their curiosity and inventive nature. To an artificer, magic is an evolving art with a leading edge of discovery and mastery that pushes further ahead with each passing year. Artificers value novelty and discovery. This penchant pushes them to seek a life of adventure. A hidden ruin might hold a forgotten magic item or a beautifully crafted mirror perfect for magical enhancement. Artificers win respect and renown among their kind by uncovering new lore or inventing new methods of creation.
601
602```
603```
604
605### Intense Rivalries
606The artificers’ drive to invent and expand their knowledge creates an intense drive to uncover new magic discoveries. An artificer who hears news of a newly discovered magic item must act fast to get it before any rivals do. Good-aligned artificers recover items on adventures or offer gold or wondrous items to those who possess items they are keen to own. Evil ones have no problem committing crimes to claim what they want.
607
608Almost every artificer has at least one rival, someone whom they seek to outdo at every turn. By the same token, artificers with similar philosophies and theories band together into loose guilds. They share their discoveries and work together to verify their theories and keep ahead of their rivals.

643### Creating an Artificer
644When creating an artificer character, think about your character’s background and drive for adventure. Does the character have a rival? What is the character’s relationship with the artisan or artificer who taught the basics of the craft? Talk to your DM about the role played by artificers in the campaign, and what sort of organizations and NPCs you might have ties to.
645
646#### Quick Build

711The Artificer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
712
713#### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
714You know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the artificer spell list (which appears at the end of this document).
715
716The Spells Known column of the Artificer table shows when you learn more artificer spells of your choice from this feature. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots on the Artificer table.
717
718Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the artificer spells you know from this feature and replace it with another spell from the artificer spell list. The new spell must also be of a level for which you have spell slots on the Artificer table.
719
720#### Spellcasting Ability
721Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your artificer spells; your understanding of the theory behind magic allows you to wield these spells with superior skill. You use your Intelligence whenever an artificer spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an artificer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
722___
723- **Spell save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
724- **Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
725
726#### Spellcasting Focus
727You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. See chapter 5, “Equipment,†in the Player’s Handbook for various arcane focus options.
728
729### Infuse Magic
730Starting at 4th level, you gain the ability to channel your artificer spells into objects for later use. When you cast an artificer spell with a casting time of 1 action, you can increase its casting time to 1 minute. If you do so and hold a nonmagical item throughout the casting, you expend a spell slot, but none of the spell’s effects occur. Instead, the spell transfers into that item for later use if the item doesn’t already contain a spell from this feature.
731
732Any creature holding the item thereafter can use an action to activate the spell if the creature has an Intelligence score of at least 6. The spell is cast using your spellcasting ability, targeting the creature that activates the item. If the spell targets more than one creature, the creature that activates the item selects the additional targets. If the spell has an area of effect, it is centered on the item. If the spell’s range is self, it targets the creature that activates the item.
733
734When you infuse a spell in this way, it must be used within 8 hours. After that time, its magic fades and is wasted.
735
736You can have a limited number of infused spells at the same time. The number equals your Intelligence modifier.
737
738### Ability Score Improvement
739When you reach 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 18th 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.
740
741### Superior Attunement
742At 5th level, your superior understanding of magic items allows you to master their use. You can now attune to up to four, rather than three, magic items at a time.
743
744At 15th level, this limit increases to five magic items.
745

748
749### Mechanical Servant
750At 6th level, your research and mastery of your craft allow you to produce a mechanical servant. The servant is a construct that obeys your commands without hesitation and functions in combat to protect you. Though magic fuels its creation, the servant is not magical itself. You are assumed to have been working on the servant for quite some time, finally finishing it during a short or long rest after you reach 6th level.
751
752Select a Large beast with a challenge rating of 2 or less. The servant uses that beast’s game statistics, but it can look however you like, as long as its form is appropriate for its statistics. It has the following modifications:
753- It is a construct instead of a beast.
754- It can’t be charmed.
755- It is immune to poison damage and the poisoned condition.
756- It gains darkvision with a range of 60 feet if it doesn’t have it already.
757- It understands the languages you can speak when you create it, but it can’t speak.
758- If you are the target of a melee attack and the servant is within 5 feet of the attacker, you can use your reaction to command the servant to respond, using its reaction to make a melee attack against the attacker
759
760The servant obeys your orders to the best of its ability. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own.
761
762If the servant is killed, it can be returned to life via normal means, such as with the revivify spell. In addition, over the course of a long rest, you can repair a slain servant if you have access to its body. It returns to life with 1 hit point at the end of the rest. If the servant is beyond recovery, you can build a new one with one week of work (eight hours each day) and 1,000 gp of raw materials.
763
764### Soul of Artifice
765At 20th level, your understanding of magic items is unmatched, allowing you to mingle your soul with items linked to you. You can attune to up to six magic items at once. In addition, you gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws per magic item you are currently attuned to.
766

770## Artificer Specialists
771Artificers pursue a variety of specializations. The two most common ones, alchemy and engineering, are presented here.
772
773### Alchemist
774An alchemist is an expert at combining exotic reagents to produce a variety of materials, from healing draughts that can mend a wound in moments to clinging goo that slows creatures down.
775
776#### Alchemist’s Satchel
777
778At 1st level, you craft an Alchemist’s Satchel, a bag of reagents that you use to create a variety of concoctions. The bag and its contents are both magical, and this magic allows you to pull out exactly the right materials you need for your Alchemical Formula options, described below. After you use one of those options, the bag reclaims the materials.
779
780If you lose this satchel, you can create a new one over the course of three days of work (eight hours each day) by expending 100 gp worth of leather, glass, and other raw materials.
781
782#### Alchemical Formula
783At 1st level, you learn three Alchemical Formula options: Alchemical Fire, Alchemical Acid, and one other option of your choice. You learn an additional formula of your choice at 3rd, 9th, 14th, and 17th levels.
784
785To use any of these options, your Alchemist’s Satchel must be within reach.
786
787If an Alchemical Formula option requires a saving throw, the DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.
788
789** *Alchemical Fire.* ** As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel, pull out a vial of volatile liquid, and hurl the vial at a creature, object, or surface within 30 feet of you (the vial and its contents disappear if you don’t hurl the vial by the end of the current turn). On impact, the vial detonates in a 5-foot radius. Any creature in that area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 fire damage.
790
791This formula’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 4th level (2d6), 7th level (3d6), 10th level (4d6), 13th level (5d6), 16th level (6d6), and 19th level (7d6).
792
793** *Alchemical Acid.* ** As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel, pull out a vial of acid, and hurl the vial at a creature or object within 30 feet of you (the vial and its contents disappear if you don’t hurl the vial by the end of the current turn). The vial shatters on impact. A creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 acid damage. An object automatically takes that damage, and the damage is maximized.
794
795This formula’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 3rd level (2d6), 5th level (3d6), 7th level (4d6), 9th level (5d6), 11th level (6d6), 13th level (7d6), 15th level (8d6), 17th level (9d6), and 19th level (10d6).

802<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>CLASSES | ARTIFICER</div>
803
804`...`** *Healing Draught.* ** As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel and pull out a vial of healing liquid. A creature can drink it as an action to regain 1d8 hit points. The vial then disappears. Once a creature regains hit points from this alchemical formula, the creature can’t do so again until it finishes a long rest. If not used, the vial and its contents disappear after 1 hour. While the vial exists, you can’t use this formula.
805
806This formula’s healing increases by 1d8 when you reach certain levels in this class: 3rd level (2d8), 5th level (3d8), 7th level (4d8), 9th level (5d8), 11th level (6d8), 13th level (7d8), 15th level (8d8), 17th level (9d8), and 19th level (10d8).
807
808** *Smoke Stick.* ** As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel and pull out a stick that produces a thick plume of smoke. You can hold on to the stick or throw it to a point up to 30 feet away as part of the action used to produce it. The area in a 10-foot radius around the stick is filled with thick smoke that blocks vision, including darkvision. The stick and smoke persist for 1 minute and then disappear. After using this formula, you can’t do so again for 1 minute.
809
810** *Swift Step Draught.* ** As a bonus action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel and pull out a vial filled with a bubbling, brown liquid. As an action, a creature can drink it. Doing so increases the creature’s speed by 20 feet for 1 minute, and the vial disappears. If not used, the vial and its contents disappear after 1 minute. After using this formula, you can’t do so again for 1 minute.
811
812```
813```
814
815`...`** *Tanglefoot Bag.* ** As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel and pull out a bag filled with writhing, sticky black tar and hurl it at a point on the ground within 30 feet of you (the bag and its contents disappear if you don’t hurl the bag by the end of the current turn). The bag bursts on impact and covers the ground in a 5-foot radius with sticky goo. That area becomes difficult terrain for 1 minute, and any creature that starts its turn on the ground in that area has its speed halved for that turn. After using this formula, you can’t do so again for 1 minute.
816
817** *Thunderstone.* ** As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel and pull out a crystalline shard and hurl it at a creature, object, or surface within 30 feet of you (the shard disappears if you don’t hurl it by the end of the current turn). The shard shatters on impact with a blast of concussive energy. Each creature within 10 feet of the point of impact must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be knocked prone and pushed 10 feet away from that point.
818
819### Gunsmith
820A master of engineering, you forge a firearm powered by a combination of science and magic.
821
822#### Master Smith
823When you choose this specialization at 1st level, you gain proficiency with smith’s tools, and you learn the mending cantrip.
824
825#### Thunder Cannon
826At 1st level, you forge a deadly firearm using a combination of arcane magic and your knowledge of engineering and metallurgy. This firearm is called a Thunder Cannon. It is a ferocious weapon that fires leaden bullets that can punch through armor with ease.
827
828You are proficient with the Thunder Cannon. The firearm is a two-handed ranged weapon that deals 2d6 piercing damage. Its normal range is 150 feet, and its maximum range if 500 feet. Once fired, it must be reloaded as a bonus action. If you lose your Thunder Cannon, you can create a new one over the course of three days of work (eight hours each day) by expending 100 gp worth of metal and other raw materials.
829
830#### Arcane Magazine
831At 1st level, you craft a leather bag used to carry your tools and ammunition for your Thunder Cannon. Your Arcane Magazine includes the powders, lead shot, and other materials needed to keep that weapon functioning.
832
833You can use the Arcane Magazine to produce ammunition for your gun. At the end of each long rest, you can magically produce 40 rounds of ammunition with this magazine. After each short rest, you can produce 10 rounds.
834
835If you lose your Arcane Magazine, you can create a new one as part of a long rest, using 25 gp of leather and other raw materials.

843
844#### Thunder Monger
845At 3rd level, you learn to channel thunder energy into your Thunder Cannon. As an action, you can make a special attack with your Thunder Cannon that deals an extra 1d6 thunder damage on a hit.
846
847This extra damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th level (2d6), 7th level (3d6), 9th level (4d6), 11th level (5d6), 13th level (6d6), 15th level (7d6), 17th level (8d6), and 19th level (9d6).
848
849#### Blast Wave
850Starting at 9th level, you can channel force energy into your Thunder Cannon. As an action, you can make a special attack with it. Rather than making an attack roll, you unleash force energy in a 15-foot cone from the gun. Each creature in that area must make a Strength saving throw with a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. On a failed saving throw, a target takes 2d6 force damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you.
851
852This damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 13th level (3d6) and 17th level (4d6).
853
854#### Piercing Round
855Starting at 14th level, you can shoot lightning energy through your Thunder Cannon. As an action, you can make a pecial attack with it. Rather than making an attack roll, you cause the gun to unleash a bolt of lightning, 5-feet wide and 30-feet long. Each creature in that area must make Dexterity saving throws with a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. On a failed saving throw, a target takes 4d6 lightning damage. This damage increases to 6d6 when you reach 19th level in this class.
856
857#### Explosive Round
858Starting at 17th level, you can channel fiery energy into your Thunder Cannon. As an action, you can make a special attack with it. Rather than making an attack roll, you launch an explosive round from the gun. The round detonates in a 30-foot radius sphere at a point within range. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw with a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. On a failed saving throw, a target takes 4d8 fire damage.

930## Mystic
931
932A human clad in simple robes walks along a forest path. A gang of goblins emerges from the brush, arrows trained on him, their smiles wide at their good fortune of finding such easy prey for the legion’s slave pens. Their smiles turn to shrieks of terror as the traveler grows to giant size and leaps at them, his staff now a deadly cudgel.
933
934The militia forms in ranks to prepare for the orcs’ charge. The growling brutes howl their battle cries and surge forward. To their surprise, the human rabble holds its ground and fights with surprising ferocity. Suddenly, mindless fear clings to the orcs’ minds and they, despite facing a far inferior foe, turn and run, never noticing the calm half-elf standing amid the militia and directing its efforts.
935
936Baron von Ludwig was always proud of his grand library. Little did he know that each evening, a gnome laden with blank scrolls slipped past his guards each night and dutifully copied his most heavily guarded archives. When the duke’s men arrived to arrest him for dealing with demons, he never guessed that the gnome scribe traveling with them had spent more time in his keep than he had over the past year.
937
938These heroes are all mystics, followers of a strange and mysterious form of power. Mystics shun the world to turn their eyes inward, mastering the full potential of their minds and exploring their psyches before turning to face the world. Mystics are incredibly rare, and most prefer to keep the nature of their abilities secret. Using their inner, psychic strength, they can read minds, fade into invisibility, transform their bodies into living iron, and seize control of the physical world and bend it to their will.
939
940### Hermits and Outcasts
941Mystics are loners. Most discover the secrets of their power through vague references in tomes of lore or by ingratiating themselves to a master of the power.
942
943In order to master their power, mystics must first master themselves. They spend months and years in quiet contemplation, exploring their minds and leaving nothing uncovered. During this time, they shun society and typically live as hermits at the edge of society. A mystic who studied under a master worked as a virtual slave, toiling away at mundane tasks in return for the occasional lesson or cryptic insight.
944
945When mystics finally master their power, they return to the world to broaden their horizons and practice their craft. Some mystics prefer to remain isolated, but those who become adventurers aren’t content to remain on the fringe of the world.
946
947### Eccentric Minds
948In order to maintain the strict discipline and intense self-knowledge needed to tap into their power, mystics develop a variety of practices to keep their focus sharp.
949
950These practices are reflected in taboos and quirks, strange little behaviors that govern a mystic’s actions. These quirks are oaths or behavioral tics that help keep mystics in the proper frame of mind while maintaining perfect control over their minds and bodies.
951
952While these taboos are harmless, they help cast mystics as outsiders. Few feel accepted by society, and fewer still care to become integrated with it. To mystics, the life of the mind is where they feel most at home.

960
961### Creating a Mystic
962When creating a mystic, consider your character’s background. How did you become a mystic? What first drew you to this practice? Are you self-taught, or did you have a master? If you had a master, what is that relationship like? Consider also why you returned to the world from your hermitage. Did you leave someone or something behind when you took up your studies? Are you driven by revenge or some other motivation?
963
964#### Quick Build
965You can make a mystic quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Intelligence your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity or Constitution. Second, choose the hermit background.
966
967## Class Features
968As a mystic, you gain the following class features.
969
970#### Hit Points
971___
972- **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per mystic level
973- **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier
974- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per mystic level after 1st
975
976#### Proficiencies
977___
978- **Armor:** Light armor
979- **Weapons:** All simple weapons
980- **Tools:** None
981___
982- **Saving Throws:** Intelligence, Wisdom
983- **Skills:** Choose two skills from Arcana, History, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Perception, and Religion
984
985#### Equipment
986You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
987
988- *(a)* a spear or *(b)* a mace
989- *(a)* leather armor or *(b)* studded leather armor
990- *(a)* a light crossbow and 20 bolts or *(b)* any simple weapon
991- *(a)* a scholar’s pack or *(b)* an explorer’s pack
992Alternatively, you can ignore the equipment here and in your background, and buy 5d4 × 10 gp worth of equipment from chapter 5 in the *Player’s Handbook*.
993
994```
995```
996
997#### Selecting Quirks
998To add some texture to your mystic, consider the quirks your character has acquired. These behaviors have no game effect, but your character might become irritated or upset if forced to break them. They’re a great roleplaying tool to add character to the game. You can roll on or pick from the table below, or create your own quirks. Aim to create two quirks, to give them more of a chance to come into play. Finally, consider why your character chose these behaviors. What do they say about your character’s personality or background? Are they based on a specific incident or a belief?
999

1057### Psionics
1058As a student of psionics, you can master and use psionic talents and disciplines, the rules for which appear at the end of this document. Psionics is a special form of magic use, distinct from spellcasting.
1059
1060#### Psionic Talents
1061A psionic talent is a minor psionic effect you have mastered. At 1st level, you know one psionic talent of your choice. You learn additional talents of your choice at higher levels. The Talents Known column of the Mystic table shows the total number of talents you know at each level; when that number goes up for you, choose a new talent.
1062
1063#### Psionic Disciplines
1064A psionic discipline is a rigid set of mental exercises that allows a mystic to manifest psionic power. A mystic masters only a few disciplines at a time.
1065
1066At 1st level, you know one psionic discipline of your choice. The Disciplines Known column of the Mystic table shows the total number of disciplines you know at each level; when that number goes up for you, choose a new discipline.
1067
1068In addition, whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one discipline you know with a different one of your choice.
1069
1070#### Psi Points
1071You have an internal reservoir of energy that can be devoted to psionic disciplines you know. This energy is represented by psi points. Each psionic discipline describes effects you can create with it by spending a certain number of psi points. A psionic talent requires no psi points. The number of psi points you have is based on your mystic level, as shown in the Psi Points column of the Mystic table.
1072
1073The number shown for your level is your psi point maximum. Your psi point total returns to its maximum when you finish a long rest. The number of psi points you have can’t go below 0 or over your maximum.

1082<div style='margin-top:380px'></div>
1083
1084#### Psi Limit
1085Though you have access to a potent amount of psionic energy, it takes training and practice to channel that energy. There is a limit on the number of psi points you can spend to activate a psionic discipline. The limit is based on your mystic level, as shown in the Psi Limit column of the Mystic table. For example, as a 3rd-level mystic, you can spend no more than 3 psi points on a discipline each time you use it, no matter how many psi points you have.
1086
1087#### Psychic Focus
1088You can focus psionic energy on one of your psionic disciplines to draw ongoing benefits from it. As a bonus action, you can choose one of your psionic disciplines and gain its psychic focus benefit, which is detailed in that discipline’s description. The benefit lasts until you are incapacitated or until you use another bonus action to choose a different focus benefit.
1089
1090You can have only one psychic focus benefit at a time, and using the psychic focus of one discipline doesn’t limit your ability to use other disciplines.
1091
1092#### Psionic Ability
1093Intelligence is your psionic ability for your psionic disciplines. You use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a psionic discipline or when making an attack roll with one.
1094___
1095- **Discipline save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
1096- **Discipline attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
1097
1098```
1099```
1100
1101<div style='margin-top:380px'></div>
1102### Mystic Order
1103At 1st level, you choose a Mystic Order: the Order of the Avatar, the Order of the Awakened, the Order of the Immortal, the Order of the Nomad, the Order of the Soul Knife, or the Order of the Wu Jen, each of which is detailed at the end of the class description. Each order specializes in a specific approach to psionics.
1104
1105Your order gives you features when you choose it at 1st level and additional features at 3rd, 6th, and 14th level.
1106
1107### Mystical Recovery
1108Starting at 2nd level, you can draw vigor from the psi energy you use to power your psionic disciplines.
1109
1110Immediately after you spend psi points on a psionic discipline, you can take a bonus action to regain hit points equal to the number of psi points you spent.
1111
1112### Telepathy
1113At 2nd level, your mind awakens to the ability to communicate via telepathy. You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 120 feet of you in this manner. You don’t need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic messages, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language or be telepathic itself.
1114
1115### Ability Score Improvement
1116When 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
1117using this feature.
1118
1119\page
1120<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>CLASSES | MYSTIC </div>
1121
1122### Strength of Mind
1123Even the simplest psionic technique requires a deep understanding of how psionic energy can augment mind and body. This understanding allows you to alter your defenses to better deal with threats.
1124
1125Starting at 4th level, you can replace your proficiency in Wisdom saving throws whenever you finish a short or long rest. To do so, choose Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, or Charisma. You gain proficiency in saves using that ability, instead of Wisdom. This change lasts until you finish your next short or long rest.
1126
1127### Potent Psionics
1128At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon attacks with psychic energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon, you can deal an extra 1d8 psychic damage to that target. When you reach 14th level, this extra damage increases to 2d8.
1129
1130In addition, you add your Intelligence modifier
1131to any damage roll you make for a psionic talent.
1132
1133### Consumptive Power
1134At 10th level, you gain the ability to sacrifice your physical durability in exchange for psionic power. When activating a psionic discipline, you can pay its psi point cost with your hit points, instead of using any psi points. Your current hit points and hit point maximum are both reduced by the number of hit points you spend. This reduction can’t be lessened in any way, and the reduction to your hit point maximum lasts until you finish a long rest.
1135
1136Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
1137
1138### Psionic Mastery
1139Beginning at 11th level, your mastery of psionic energy allows you to push your mind beyond its normal limits. As an action, you gain 9 special psi points that you can spend only on disciplines that require an action or a bonus action to use. You can use all 9 points on one discipline, or you can spread them across multiple disciplines. You can’t also spend your normal psi points on these disciplines; you can spend only the special points gained from this feature. When you finish a long rest, you lose any of these special points that you haven’t spent.
1140
1141If more than one of the disciplines you activate with these points require concentration, you can concentrate on all of them. Activating one of them ends any effect you were already concentrating on, and if you begin concentrating on an effect that doesn’t use these special points, the disciplines end that you’re concentrating on.
1142
1143At 15th level, the pool of psi points you gain from this feature increases to 11.
1144
1145You have one use of this feature, and you regain any expended use of it with a long rest.You gain one additional use of this feature at 13th, 15th, and 17th level.
1146
1147```
1148```
1149
1150### Psionic Body
1151At 20th level, your mastery of psionic power causes your mind to transcend the body. Your physical form is infused with psionic energy. You gain the following benefits:
1152* You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
1153* You no longer age.
1154* You are immune to disease, poison damage, and the poisoned condition.
1155* If you die, roll a d20. On a 10 or higher, you discorporate with 0 hit points, instead of dying, and you fall unconscious. You and your gear disappear. You appear at a spot of your choice 1d3 days later on the plane of existence where you died, having gained the benefits of one long rest.

1164## Mystic Orders
1165Psionics is a mysterious form of power within most D&D worlds. Secretive orders study its origins and applications, while pushing the boundaries of what psionic power can achieve.
1166
1167Each of these orders pursues a specific goal for psionic power. That goal shapes how the members of an order understand psionics.
1168
1169### Order of the Avatar
1170Mystics of the Order of the Avatar delve into the world of emotion, mastering their inner life to such an extent that they can manipulate and amplify the emotions of others with the same ease that an artist shapes clay. Known as Avatars, these mystics vary from tyrants to inspiring leaders who are loved by their followers.
1171
1172Avatars can bring out extreme emotions in the people around them. For their allies, they can lend hope, ferocity, and courage, transforming a fighting band into a deadly, unified force. For their enemies, they bring fear, disgust, and trepidation that can make even the most hardened veteran act like a shaky rookie.
1173
1174#### Bonus Disciplines
1175At 1st level, you learn two additional psionic disciplines of your choice. They must be chosen from among the Avatar disciplines.
1176

1178At 1st level, you gain proficiency with medium armor and shields.
1179

1182
1183#### Avatar of Healing
1184Beginning at 6th level, you project an aura of resilience. While you aren’t incapacitated, each ally within 30 feet of you who can see you regains additional hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 0) whenever they regain hit points from a psionic discipline.
1185
1186#### Avatar of Speed
1187Starting at 14th level, you project an aura of speed. While you aren’t incapacitated, any ally within 30 feet of you who can see you can take the Dash action as a bonus action.
1188
1189### Order of the Awakened
1190Mystics dedicated to the Order of the Awakened seek to unlock the full potential of the mind. By transcending the physical, the Awakened hope to attain a state of being focused on pure intellect and mental energy.
1191
1192The Awakened are skilled at bending minds and unleashing devastating psionic attacks, and they can read the secrets of the world through psionic energy. Awakened mystics who take to adventuring excel at unraveling mysteries, solving puzzles, and defeating monsters by turning them into unwilling pawns.
1193
1194#### Bonus Disciplines
1195At 1st level, you learn two additional psionic disciplines of your choice. They must be chosen from among the Awakened disciplines.

1199
1200#### Psionic Investigation
1201Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your mind to read the psionic imprint left on an object. If you hold an object and concentrate on it for 10 minutes (as if concentrating on a psionic discipline), you learn a few basic facts about it. You gain a mental image from the object’s point of view, showing the last creature to hold the object within the past 24 hours.
1202
1203You also learn of any events that have occurred within 20 feet of the object within the past hour. The events you perceive unfold from the object’s perspective. You see and hear such events as if you were there, but can’t use other senses.
1204
1205Additionally, you can embed an intangible psionic sensor within the object. For the next 24 hours, you can use an action to learn the object’s location relative to you (its distance and direction) and to look at the object’s surroundings from its point of view as if you were there. This perception lasts until the start of your next turn.
1206
1207Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
1208
1209#### Psionic Surge
1210Starting at 6th level, you can overload your psychic focus to batter down an opponent’s defenses. You can impose disadvantage on a target’s saving throw against a discipline or talent you use, but at the cost of using your psychic focus. Your psychic focus immediately ends if it’s active, and you can’t use it until you finish a short or long rest.
1211
1212You can’t use this feature if you can’t use your psychic focus.
1213
1214#### Spectral Form
1215At 14th level, you gain the ability to become a ghostly figure of psionic energy. As an action, you can transform into a transparent, ghostly version of yourself. While in this form, you have resistance to all damage, move at half speed, and can pass through objects and creatures while moving but can’t willingly end your movement in their spaces. The form lasts for 10 minutes or until you use an action to end it.
1216
1217Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
1218
1219### Order of the Immortal
1220The Order of the Immortal uses psionic energy to augment and modify the physical form. Followers of this order are known as Immortals. They use psionic energy to modify their bodies, strengthening them against attack and turning themselves into living weapons.
1221
1222Their mastery of the physical form grants them their name, for Immortals are notoriously difficult to kill.
1223

1229
1230#### Immortal Durability
1231Starting at 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 per mystic level.
1232

1234
1235#### Psionic Resilience
1236Starting at 3rd level, your psionic energy grants you extraordinary fortitude. At the start of each of your turns, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 0) if you have at least 1 hit point.
1237
1238#### Surge of Health
1239Starting at 6th level, you can draw on your psychic focus to escape death’s grasp. As a reaction when you take damage, you can halve that damage against you. Your psychic focus immediately ends if it’s active, and you can’t use it until you finish a short or long rest.
1240
1241You can’t use this feature if you can’t use your psychic focus.
1242
1243#### Immortal Will
1244Starting at 14th level, you can draw on your reserves of psionic power to survive beyond death. At the end of your turn while at 0 hit points, you can spend 5 psi points to immediately regain a number of hit points equal to your mystic level + your Constitution modifier.
1245
1246### Order of the Nomad
1247Mystics of the Order of the Nomad keep their minds in a strange, rarified state. They seek to accumulate as much knowledge as possible, as they quest to unravel the mysteries of the multiverse and seek the underlying structure of all things. At the same time, they perceive a bizarre, living web of knowledge they call the noosphere.
1248
1249Nomads, as their name indicates, delight in travel, exploration, and discovery. They desire to accumulate as much knowledge as possible, and the pursuit of secrets and hidden lore can become an obsession for them.
1250
1251#### Bonus Disciplines
1252At 1st level, you learn two additional psionic disciplines of your choice. They must be chosen from among the Nomad disciplines.
1253
1254#### Breadth of Knowledge
1255At 1st level, you gain the ability to extend your knowledge. When you finish a long rest, you gain two proficiencies of your choice: two tools, two skills, or one of each. You can replace one or both of these selections with languages. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest.
1256
1257```
1258```
1259
1260#### Memory of One Thousand Steps
1261At 3rd level, you gain the ability to use psionics to recall your steps. As a reaction when you are hit by an attack, you can teleport to an unoccupied space that you occupied since the start of your last turn, and the attack misses you.
1262
1263Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
1264
1265#### Superior Teleportation
1266At 6th level, you gain a superior talent for teleportation. When you use a psionic discipline to teleport any distance, you can increase that distance by up to 10 feet.
1267
1268#### Effortless Journey
1269Starting at 14th level, your mind can mystically move your body. Once on each of your turns, you can forfeit up to 30 feet of your movement to teleport the distance you forfeited. You must teleport to an unoccupied space you can see.
1270
1271### Order of the Soul Knife
1272The Order of the Soul Knife sacrifices the breadth of knowledge other mystics gain to focus on a specific psionic technique. These mystics learn to manifest a deadly weapon of pure psychic energy that they can use to cleave through foes.
1273
1274Soul knives vary widely in their approach to this path. Some follow it out of a desire to achieve martial perfection. Others are ruthless assassins who seek to become the perfect killer.
1275
1276#### Martial Training
1277At 1st level, you gain proficiency with medium armor and martial weapons.
1278
1279#### Soul Knife
1280Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to manifest a blade of psychic energy. As a bonus action, you create scintillating knives of energy that project from both of your fists. You can’t hold anything in your hands while manifesting these blades. You can dismiss them as a bonus action.
1281
1282For you, a soul knife is a martial melee weapon with the light and finesse properties. It deals 1d8 psychic damage on a hit. As a bonus action, you can prepare to use the blades to parry; you gain a +2 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn or until you are incapacitated.
1283
1284#### Hone the Blade
1285Starting at 3rd level, you can spend psi points to augment your soul knife’s attack rolls and damage. You gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls with your soul knives depending on the number of psi points spent, as shown on the table below. This bonus lasts for 10 minutes.
1286
1287| Psi Points | Attack and Damage Bonus |
1288|:-:|:-:|
1289| 2 | +1 |
1290| 5 | +2 |
1291| 7 | +4 |

1298
1299#### Phantom Knife
1300Starting at 14th level, you can make an attack that phases through most defenses. As an action, you can make one attack with your soul knife. Treat the target’s AC as 10 against this attack, regardless of the target’s actual AC.
1301
1302### Order of the Wu Jen
1303The Order of the Wu Jen features some of the most devoted mystics. These mystics seek to lock themselves away from the world, denying the limits of the physical world and replacing it with a reality that they create for themselves. Known as wu jens, these mystics cast their minds into the world, seize control of its fundamental principles, and rebuild it.
1304
1305In practical terms, wu jens excel at controlling the forces of the natural world. They can hurl objects with their minds, control the four elements, and alter reality to fit their desires.
1306
1307#### Bonus Disciplines
1308At 1st level, you learn two additional psionic disciplines of your choice. They must be chosen from among the Wu Jen disciplines.
1309
1310#### Hermit’s Study
1311At 1st level, you gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Arcana, History, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Perception, Religion, or Survival.
1312```
1313```
1314#### Elemental Attunement
1315Starting at 3rd level, when a creature’s resistance reduces the damage dealt by a psionic discipline of yours, you can spend 1 psi point to cause that use of the discipline to ignore the creature’s resistance. You can’t spend this point if doing so would increase the discipline’s cost above your psi limit.
1316
1317#### Arcane Dabbler
1318At 6th level, you learn three wizard spells of your choice and always have them prepared. The spells must be of 1st through 3rd level. As a bonus action, you can spend psi points to create spell slots that you can use to cast these spells, as well as other spells you are capable of casting. The psi-point cost of each spell slot is detailed on the table below.
1319
1320| Spell Slot Level | Psi Cost |
1321|:-:|:-:|
1322| 1st | 2 |
1323| 2nd | 3 |
1324| 3rd | 5 |
1325| 4th | 6 |
1326| 5th | 7 |
1327
1328The spell slot remains until you use it or finish a long rest. You must observe your psi limit when spending psi points to create a spell slot.
1329
1330Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the chosen wizard spells with a different wizard spell of 1st through 3rd level.
1331
1332#### Elemental Mastery
1333Starting at 14th level, if you have resistance to a type of damage, you can spend 2 psi points as a reaction when you take damage of that type to ignore that damage; you gain immunity to that damage type until the end of your next turn.

1342## Psionic Disciplines and Talents
1343Psionic talents and disciplines are the heart of a mystic’s craft. They are the mental exercises and psionic formulae used to forge will into tangible, magical effects.
1344
1345Psionic disciplines were each discovered by different orders and tend to reflect their creators’ specialties. However, a mystic can learn any discipline regardless of its associated order.
1346
1347### Using a Discipline
1348Each psionic discipline has several ways you can use it, all contained in its description. The discipline specifies the type of action and number of psi points it requires. It also details whether you must concentrate on its effects, how many targets it affects, what saving throws it requires, and so on.
1349
1350The following sections go into more detail on using a discipline. Psionic disciplines are magical and function similarly to spells.
1351
1352#### Psychic Focus
1353The Psychic Focus section of a discipline describes the benefit you gain when you choose that discipline for your psychic focus.
1354
1355#### Effect Options and Psi Points
1356A discipline provides different options for how to use it with your psi points. Each effect option has a name, and the psi point cost of that option appears in parentheses after its name. You must spend that number of psi points to use that option, while abiding by your psi limit. If you don’t have enough psi points left, or the cost is above your psi limit, you can’t use the option.
1357
1358Some options show a range of psi points, rather than a specific cost. To use that option, you must spend a number of points within that point range, still abiding by your psi limit. Some options let you spend additional psi points to increase a discipline’s potency. Again, you must abide by your psi limit, and you must spend all the points when you first use the discipline; you can’t decide to spend additional points once you see the discipline in action.
1359
1360Each option notes specific information about its effect, including any action required to use it and its range.
1361
1362#### Components
1363Disciplines don’t require the components that many spells require. Using a discipline requires no spoken words, gestures, or materials. The power of psionics comes from the mind.
1364
1365#### Duration
1366An option in a discipline specifies how long its effect lasts.
1367
1368**Instantaneous.** If no duration is specified, the effect of an option is instantaneous.
1369
1370**Concentration.** Some options require concentration to maintain their effects. This requirement is noted with “conc.†after the
1371option’s psi point cost. The “conc.†notation is followed by the maximum duration of the concentration. For example, if an option says “conc., 1 min.,†you can concentrate on its effect for up to 1 minute.
1372
1373Concentrating on a discipline follows the same rules as concentrating on a spell. This rule means you can’t concentrate on a spell and a discipline at the same time, nor can you concentrate on two disciplines at the same time. See chapter 10, “Spellcasting,†in the *Player’s Handbook* for how concentration works.
1374
1375#### Targets and Areas of Effect
1376Psionic disciplines use the same rules as spells for determining targets and areas of effect, as presented in chapter 10, “Spellcasting,†of the *Player’s Handbook*.

1378#### Saving Throws and Attack Rolls
1379If a discipline requires a saving throw, it specifies the type of save and the results of a successful or failed saving throw. The DC is determined by your psionic ability.
1380
1381Some disciplines require you to make an attack roll to determine whether the discipline’s effect hits its target. The attack roll uses your psionic ability.
1382
1383#### Combining Psionic Effects
1384The effects of different psionic disciplines add together while the durations of the disciplines overlap. Likewise, different options from a psionic discipline combine if they are active at the same time. However, a specific option from a psionic discipline doesn’t combine with itself if the option is used multiple times. Instead, the most potent effect—usually dependent on how many psi points were used to create the effect—applies while the durations of the effects overlap.
1385
1386Psionics and spells are separate effects, and therefore their benefits and drawbacks overlap. A psionic effect that reproduces a spell is an exception to this rule.

2188If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a creature's roar, a musical instrument, or any other sound you pick. It lasts for 1 minute.
2189
2190If you create an object, it must fit within a 5-foot cube and can’t move or be reflective. The image can't create any effect that influences a sense other than sight. The image lasts for 1 minute, and it disappears if the creature touches it.
2191
2192#### Energy Beam
2193*Psionic Talent*
2194___

2205As a bonus action, you alter your density and weight to improve your mobility. For the rest of your turn, your walking speed increases by 10 feet, and the first time you stand up this turn, you do so without expending any of your movement if your speed is greater than 0.

2211
2212This communication can occur until the end of the current turn. You don’t need to share a language with the target for it to understand your telepathic utterances, and it understands you even if it lacks a language. You also gain access to one memory of the target’s choice, gaining perfect recall of one thing it saw or did.
2213
2214#### Mind Slam
2215*Psionic Talent*

2232
2233#### Mystic Hand
2234*Psionic Talent*
2235___
2236You can use your action to manipulate or move one object within 30 feet of you. The object can’t weigh more than 10 pounds, and you can’t affect an object being worn or carried by another creature. If the object is loose, you can move it up to 30 feet in any direction.
2237
2238This talent allows you to open an unlocked door, pour out a beer stein, and so on.
2239
2240The object falls to the ground at the end of your turn if you leave it suspended in midair.
2241
2242```
2243```
2244
2245#### Psychic Hammer

2250The talent’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

2321
2322### Natural Explorer
2323
2324You are a master of navigating the natural world, and you react with swift and decisive action when attacked. This grants you the following benefits:
2325- You ignore difficult terrain.
2326- You have advantage on initiative rolls.
2327- On your first turn during combat, you have advantage on attack rolls against creatures that have not yet acted.
2328
2329In addition, you are skilled at navigating the wilderness. You gain the following benefits when traveling for an hour or more:
2330
2331- Difficult terrain doesn’t slow your group’s travel.
2332- Your group can’t become lost except by magical means.
2333- Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
2334- If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
2335- When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
2336- While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.
2337
2338### Fighting Style
2339At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
2340
2341#### Archery
2342You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.
2343
2344#### Defense
2345While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
2346
2347#### Dueling
2348When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
2349
2350#### Two-Weapon Fighting
2351When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
2352
2353### Spellcasting
2354By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid does. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the ranger spell list.
2355
2356#### Spell Slots
2357The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
2358
2359For example, if you know the 1st-level spell animal friendship and have a 1st-level and a 2nd level spell slot available, you can cast animal friendship using either slot.
2360
2361#### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
2362You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the ranger spell list.
2363
2364The Spells Known column of the Ranger table shows when you learn more ranger spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
2365
2366Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the ranger spells you know and replace it with another spell from the ranger spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

2371
2372\page
2373<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>CLASSES | REVISED RANGER</div>
2374
2375#### Spellcasting Ability
2376Wisdom 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.
2377
2378**Spell save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
2379
2380**Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
2381
2382### Primeval Awareness
2383Beginning at 3rd level, your mastery of ranger lore allows you to establish a powerful link to beasts and to the land around you.
2384
2385You have an innate ability to communicate with beasts, and they recognize you as a kindred spirit. Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas to a beast as an action, and can read its basic mood and intent. You learn its emotional state, whether it is affected by magic of any sort, its short-term needs (such as food or safety), and actions you can take (if any) to persuade it to not attack.
2386
2387You cannot use this ability against a creature that you have attacked within the past 10 minutes.
2388
2389Additionally, you can attune your senses to determine if any of your favored enemies lurk nearby. By spending 1 uninterrupted minute in concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you can sense whether any of your favored enemies are present within 5 miles of you. This feature reveals which of your favored enemies are present, their numbers, and the creatures’ general direction and distance (in miles) from you.
2390
2391If there are multiple groups of your favored enemies within range, you learn this information for each group.
2392
2393### Ranger Conclave
2394At 3rd level, you choose to emulate the ideals and training of a ranger conclave: the Beast Conclave, the Hunter Conclave, or the Stalker Conclave, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 5th, 7th, 11th, and 15th level.
2395
2396### Ability Score Improvement
2397When 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.
2398
2399### Greater Favored Enemy
2400At 6th level, you are ready to hunt even deadlier game. Choose a type of greater favored enemy: aberrations, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fiends, or giants. You gain all the benefits against this chosen enemy that you normally gain against your favored enemy, including an additional language. Your bonus to damage rolls against all your favored enemies increases to +4.
2401
2402Additionally, you have advantage on saving throws against the spells and abilities used by a greater favored enemy.
2403
2404### Fleet of Foot
2405Beginning at 8th level, you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn.
2406
2407### Hide in Plain Sight
2408Starting at 10th level, you can remain perfectly still for long periods of time to set up ambushes. When you attempt to hide on your turn, you can opt to not move on that turn. If you avoid moving, creatures that attempt to detect you take a −10 penalty to their Wisdom (Perception) checks until the start of your next turn. You lose this benefit if you move or fall prone, either voluntarily or because of some external effect. You are still automatically detected if any effect or action causes you to no longer be hidden.
2409
2410If you are still hidden on your next turn, you can continue to remain motionless and gain this benefit until you are detected.
2411
2412### Vanish
2413Starting at 14th level, you can use the Hide action as a bonus action on your turn. Also, you can’t be tracked by nonmagical means, unless you choose to leave a trail.
2414
2415### Feral Senses
2416At 18th level, you gain preternatural senses that help you fight creatures you can’t see. When you attack a creature you can’t see, your inability to see it doesn’t impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it.
2417
2418You 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 blinded or deafened.
2419
2420### Foe Slayer
2421At 20th level, you become an unparalleled hunter. Once on each of your turns, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.
2422
2423## Ranger Conclaves
2424Across the wilds, rangers come together to form conclaves—loose associations whose members share a similar outlook on how best to protect nature from those who would despoil it.
2425
2426### Beast Conclave
2427Many rangers are more at home in the wilds than in civilization, to the point where animals consider them kin. Rangers of the Beast Conclave develop a close bond with a beast, then further strengthen that bond through the use of magic.
2428
2429#### Animal Companion
2430At 3rd level, you learn to use your magic to create a powerful bond with a creature of the natural world.
2431

2440<div class='descriptive'>
2441
2442##### Keeping Track of Proficiency
2443When you gain your animal companion at 3rd level, its proficiency bonus matches yours at +2. As you gain levels and increase your proficiency bonus, remember that your companion’s proficiency bonus improves as well, and is applied to the following areas: Armor Class, skills, saving throws, attack bonus, and damage rolls.
2444
2445##### Why No Multiattack?
2446Multiattack is a useful design tool that keeps monsters simple for the DM. It provides a boost in offense, but that boost is meant to make a beast threatening for one battle—a notion that doesn’t mesh well with a beast intended to fight with the party, rather than against it. Project Multiattack across an entire adventure, and an animal companion runs the risk of outclassing the fighters and barbarians in the party.
2447
2448So in story terms, your animal companion has traded in some of its ferocity (in the form of Multiattack) for better awareness and the ability to fight more effectively in concert with you.
2449
2450##### Expanding Companion Options
2451Depending on the nature of your campaign, the DM might choose to expand the options for your animal companion. As a rule of thumb, a beast can serve as an animal companion if it is Medium or smaller, has 15 or fewer hit points, and cannot deal more than 8 damage with a single attack. In general, that applies to creatures with a challenge rating of 1/4 or less, but there are exceptions.
2452</div>
2453
2454<div style='height:25px'></div>
2455
2456With 8 hours of work and the expenditure of 50 gp worth of rare herbs and fine food, you call forth an animal from the wilderness to serve as your faithful companion. You normally select you companion from among the following animals: an **ape**, a **black bear**, a **boar**, a **giant badger**, a **giant weasel**, a **mule**, a **panther**, or a **wolf**. However, your DM might pick one of these animals for you, based on the surrounding terrain and on what types of creatures would logically be present in the area.
2457
2458At the end of the 8 hours, your animal companion appears and gains all the benefits of your Companion’s Bond ability. You can have only one animal companion at a time.
2459
2460If your animal companion is ever slain, the magical bond you share allows you to return it to life. With 8 hours of work and the expenditure of 25 gp worth of rare herbs and fine food, you call forth your companion’s spirit and use your magic to create a new body for it. You can return an animal companion to life in this manner even if you do not possess any part of its body.
2461
2462If you use this ability to return a former animal companion to life while you have a current animal companion, your current companion leaves you and is replaced by the restored companion.
2463
2464```
2465```
2466
2467<div style='height:450px'></div>
2468#### Companion’s Bond
2469Your animal companion gains a variety of benefits while it is linked to you.
2470
2471The animal companion loses its multiattack action, if it has one.
2472
2473The companion obeys your commands as best it can. It rolls for initiative like any other creature, but you determine its actions, decisions, attitudes, and so on. If you are incapacitated or absent, your companion acts on its own.
2474
2475When using your Natural Explorer feature, you and your animal companion can both move stealthily at a normal pace.
2476
2477Your animal companion has abilities and game statistics determined in part by your level. Your companion uses your proficiency bonus rather than its own. In addition to the areas where it normally uses its proficiency bonus, an animal companion also adds its proficiency bonus to its AC and to its damage rolls.
2478
2479Your animal companion gains proficiency in two skills of your choice. It also becomes proficient with all saving throws.
2480
2481For each level you gain after 3rd, your animal companion gains an additional hit die and increases its hit points accordingly.
2482
2483Whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement class feature, your companion’s abilities also improve. Your companion can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or it can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, your companion can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature unless its description specifies otherwise.
2484
2485Your companion shares your alignment, and has a personality trait and a flaw that you can roll for or select from the tables below. Your companion shares your ideal, and its bond is always, “The ranger who travels with me is a beloved companion for whom I would gladly give my life.â€
2486
2487\page
2488<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>CLASSES | REVISED RANGER</div>
2489
2490Your animal companion gains the benefits of your Favored Enemy feature, and of your Greater Favored Enemy feature when you gain that feature at 6th level. It uses the favored enemies you selected for those features.
2491
2492| d6 | Trait |
2493|:----:|:----|
2494| 1 | I’m dauntless in the face of adversity. |
2495| 2 | Threaten my friends, threaten me. |
2496| 3 | I stay on alert so others can rest. |
2497| 4 | People see an animal and underestimate me. I use that to my advantage. |
2498| 5 | I have a knack for showing up in the nick of time. |
2499| 6 | I put my friends’ needs before my own in all things. |
2500
2501| d6 | Flaw |
2502|:----:|:----|
2503| 1 | If there’s food left unattended, I’ll eat it. |
2504| 2 | I growl at strangers, and all people except my ranger are strangers to me. |
2505| 3 | Any time is a good time for a belly rub. |
2506| 4 | I’m deathly afraid of water. |
2507| 5 | My idea of hello is a flurry of licks to the face. |
2508| 6 | I jump on creatures to tell them how much I love them. |
2509
2510#### Coordinated Attack
2511Beginning at 5th level, you and your animal companion form a more potent fighting team. When you use the Attack action on your turn, if your companion can see you, it can use its reaction to make a melee attack.
2512
2513#### Beast’s Defense
2514At 7th level, while your companion can see you, it has advantage on all saving throws.
2515
2516#### Storm of Claws and Fangs
2517At 11th level, your companion can use its action to make a melee attack against each creature of its choice within 5 feet of it, with a separate attack roll for each target.
2518
2519#### Superior Beast’s Defense
2520At 15th level, whenever an attacker that your companion can see hits it with an attack, it can use its reaction to halve the attack’s damage against it.
2521
2522```
2523```
2524
2525### Hunter Conclave
2526Some rangers seek to master weapons to better protect civilization from the terrors of the wilderness. Members of the Hunter Conclave learn specialized fighting techniques for use against the most dire threats, from rampaging ogres and hordes of orcs to towering giants and terrifying dragons.
2527
2528#### Hunter’s Prey
2529At 3rd level, you gain one of the following features of your choice.
2530
2531** *Colossus Slayer.* ** Your tenacity can wear down the most potent foes. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, the creature takes an extra 1d8 damage if it’s below its hit point maximum. You can deal this extra damage only once per
2532turn.
2533

2701
2702### Combat Superiority
2703At 2nd level, you learn maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called superiority dice.
2704
2705** *Maneuvers.* ** You learn two maneuvers of your choice, which are chosen from the list of maneuvers available to fighters with the Battle Master archetype. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one maneuver per attack.
2706
2707You learn one additional maneuver of your choice at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels. Each time you learn a new maneuver, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one.

2738When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add
2739your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
2740
2741### Poultices

2761score above 20 using this feature.
2762
2763### Extra Attack
2764Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of
2765once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

2769difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can
2770also pass through nonmagical plants without being
2771slowed by them and without taking damage from them if
2772they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard.
2773In addition, you have advantage on saving throws
2774against plants that are magically created or manipulated
2775to impede movement, such those created by the
2776*entangle* spell.
2777

2781### Hide in Plain Sight
2782Starting at 10th level, you can spend 1 minute creating camouflage for yourself. You must have access to fresh mud, dirt, plants, soot, and other naturally occurring materials with which to create your camouflage.
2783
2784Once you are camouflaged in this way, you can try to hide by pressing yourself up against a solid surface,
2785such as a tree or wall, that is at least as tall and wide as you are. You gain a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks as long as you remain there without moving or taking actions. Once you move or take an action or a reaction, you must camouflage yourself again to gain this benefit.
2786
2787### Call Natural Allies
2788Starting at 13th level, when you are in an area of your favored terrain, you can call natural creatures from that terrain to fight on your behalf, using your attunement to the natural world to convince them to aid you. The DM chooses beasts appropriate to the terrain to come to your aid from among those that could hear you and that are within 1 mile of you, in one of the following groups:
2789- One beast of challenge rating 2 or lower
2790- Two beasts of challenge rating 1 or lower
2791- Four beasts of challenge rating 1/2 or lower
2792- Eight beasts of challenge rating 1/4 or lower
2793
2794These beasts approach you from their current location, and will fight alongside you, attacking any creatures that are hostile to you. They are friendly to you and your comrades, and you roll initiative for the called creatures as a group, which takes its own turns. The DM has the creatures’ statistics.
2795
2796After 1 hour, these beasts return to their previous location. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again in the same general area for 24 hours, since the same animals will not repeatedly heed your call.
2797
2798### Vanish
2799Starting at 14th level, you can use the Hide action as a bonus action on your turn. Also, you can't be tracked by nonmagical means, unless you choose to leave a trail.

2802Starting at 17th level, when you roll initiative and have no superiority dice remaining, you regain 1 superiority die.
2803
2804### Feral Senses
2805At 18th level, you gain preternatural senses that help you fight creatures you can't see. 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 blinded or deafened.
2806
2807### Foe Slayer
2808At 20th level, you become an unparalleled hunter of your enemies. Once on each of your turns, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make against one of your favored enemies. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.
2809
2810## Ranger Archetypes
2811The Ideal of the Ranger has two classic expressions: the Hunter and the Beast Master
2812
2813### Hunter
2814Emulating the Hunter archetype means accepting your place as a bulwark between civilization and the terrors of the wilderness.

Its hit point maximum equals its normal maximum or four times your ranger level, whichever is higher. Like any creature, the beast can spend Hit Dice during a short rest.

2899# Part 3: Sub-classes
2900
2901## Barbarian Paths
2902At 3rd level, a barbarian gains the Primal Path feature. Here are three new options for that feature: the Path of the Ancestral Guardian, the Path of the Storm Herald, and the Path of the Zealot.
2903
2904### Path of the Ancestral Guardian
2905
2906Some barbarians hail from cultures that revere their ancestors. These tribes teach that the warriors of the past linger on in the world as mighty spirits who can guide and protect the living. When barbarians who follow this path rage, they cross the barrier into the spirit world and call on these guardian spirits for aid.
2907
2908Barbarians who draw on their ancestral guardians fight to protect their tribes and their allies. In order to cement ties to their ancestral guardians, barbarians who follow this path cover themselves in elaborate tattoos that celebrate their ancestors’ deeds. These tattoos tell epic sagas of victories against terrible monsters and other fearsome rivals.
2909
2910#### Ancestral Protectors
2911Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you enter your rage. These warriors distract a foe you strike and hinder its attempts to harm your companions. While you’re raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors. Until the start of your next turn or until your rage ends, that target has disadvantage on any attack roll that doesn’t target you, and creatures other than you have resistance to the damage of the target’s attacks.
2912
2913<div style='height:155px'></div>
2914
2915#### Spirit Shield
2916Beginning at 6th level, the guardian spirits that aid you can provide supernatural protection for your allies. If you are raging and a creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d8.
2917
2918When you reach certain levels in this class, you can reduce the damage by more: by 3d8 at 10th level and by 4d8 at 14th level.
2919
2920#### Consult the Spirits
2921At 10th level, you gain the ability to consult with your ancestral spirits and use them to scout faroff areas. When you do so, you cast the *clairvoyance* spell, without needing a spell slot. Rather than creating a spherical sensor, the spell invisibly summons one of your ancestral spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for the spell.
2922
2923After you cast the spell in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
2924
2925#### Vengeful Ancestors
2926At 14th level, your ancestral spirits grow powerful enough to strike foes that dare to harm those you protect. When you use your Spirit Shield to protect a creature damaged by an attack, the attacker takes the same amount of damage that your Spirit Shield prevents.

2930
2931### Path of the Storm Herald
2932
2933Typical barbarians harbor a fury that dwells within. Their rage grants them superior strength, durability, and speed. Barbarians who follow the Path of the Storm Herald learn instead to transform their rage into a mantle of primal magic that swirls around them. When in a fury, a barbarian of this path taps into nature to create powerful, magical effects.
2934
2935Storm heralds are typically elite champions who train alongside druids, rangers, and others sworn to protect the natural realm. Other storm heralds hone their craft in elite lodges founded in regions wracked by storms, in the frozen reaches at the world’s end, or deep in the hottest deserts.
2936
2937#### Storm of Fury
2938When you select this path at 3rd level, choose one of the following options: desert, sea, or tundra. The environment you choose shapes the nature of the storm you conjure when you rage.
2939
2940While raging, you emanate an aura in a 10-foot radius. The effects of this aura depend on your chosen environment.
2941
2942** *Desert.* ** Any enemy that ends its turn in your aura takes fire damage equal to 2 + your barbarian level divided by 4.
2943
2944** *Sea.* ** At the end of each of your turns, you can choose a creature in your aura, other than yourself. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier. The target takes 2d6 lightning damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. This damage increases to 3d6 at 10th level and to 4d6 at 15th
2945level.
2946
2947** *Tundra.* ** Any enemy that ends its turn in your aura takes cold damage equal to 2 + your barbarian level divided by 4.
2948
2949#### Storm Soul
2950At 6th level, your link to the power of the storm grants you additional abilities based on the environment you chose at 3rd level.
2951
2952** *Desert.* ** You gain resistance to fire damage and don’t suffer the effects of extreme heat.
2953
2954** *Sea.* ** You gain resistance to lightning damage and can breathe underwater.
2955
2956** *Tundra.* ** You gain resistance to cold damage and don’t suffer the effects of extreme cold.
2957
2958#### Shield of the Storm
2959At 10th level, you learn to use your mastery of the storm to protect your allies. While you are raging, allies within your aura gain the benefits of your Storm Soul feature.
2960
2961#### Raging Storm
2962At 14th level, the power of the storm you channel grows mightier.
2963
2964** *Desert.* ** The ground around you becomes like shifting sand. Any enemy that attempts to move more than 5 feet per turn on the ground while in your aura must make a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failed save, the creature’s speed drops to 0 until the start of its next turn.
2965
2966** *Sea.* ** Roaring winds tear through the area around you. Any creature in your aura that you hit with an attack must make a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) or be knocked prone.
2967
2968** *Tundra.* ** The air around you coldly slows your foes. The area within your aura is difficult terrain for your enemies.
2969
2970### Path of the Zealot
2971Some deities inspire their followers to pitch themselves into a ferocious battle fury. These barbarians are zealots—warriors who channel their rage into powerful displays of divine power.
2972
2973A variety of gods across the worlds of D&D inspire their followers to embrace this path. Tempus from the Forgotten Realms and Hextor and Erythnul of Greyhawk are all prime examples. In general, the gods who inspire zealots are deities of combat, destruction, and violence. Not all are evil, but few are good.
2974
2975#### Divine Fury
2976Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can channel divine fury when you start to rage. If you do so, you become cloaked in an aura of divine power until the rage ends. At the end of each of your turns for that duration, each creature within 5 feet of you takes damage equal to 1d6 + half your barbarian level. The damage is necrotic or radiant; you choose the type of damage when you gain this feature.
2977
2978#### Warrior of the Gods
2979At 3rd level, your soul is marked for endless battle. If a spell would have the sole effect of restoring you to life (but not undeath), the caster does not need material components to cast the spell on you.
2980
2981#### Zealous Focus
2982At 6th level, the divine power that fuels your rage can shield you from harm. If you fail a saving throw while raging, you can instead succeed on that saving throw as a reaction. However, doing so immediately ends your rage, and you can’t rage again until you finish a short or long rest.
2983
2984#### Zealous Presence
2985At 10th level, you learn to channel divine power to inspire zealotry in others. As an action, you howl in fury and unleash a battle cry infused with divine energy. Every ally within 60 feet of you gains advantage on attack rolls and saving throws until the start of your next turn.
2986
2987Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
2988
2989#### Rage Beyond Death
2990Beginning at 14th level, the divine power that fuels your rage allows you to shrug off fatal blows. While raging, having 0 hit points doesn’t knock you unconscious. You still must make death saving throws, and you suffer the normal effects of taking damage while at 0 hit points. However, if you would die due to failing death saving throws, you don’t die until your rage ends.

3002
3003## Bard Colleges
3004At 3rd level, a bard gains the Bard College feature. Here are new options for that feature: the College of Glamour, the College of Satire, the College of Swords and the College of Whispers.
3005
3006### College of Glamour
3007The College of Glamour is open to those bards who mastered their craft in the vibrant, deadly realm of the Feywild. Tutored by satyrs, eladrin, and other fey, these bards learn to use their magic to delight and captivate others.
3008
3009The bards of this college are regarded with a mixture of awe and fear. Their performances are the stuff of legend. The bards of this college are so eloquent that a speech or song that one of them performs can cause captors to release the bard unharmed and can lull a furious dragon into complacency. The same magic that allows them to quell beasts can also bend minds. Villainous bards of this college can leech off a community for weeks, abusing their magic to turn their hosts into thralls.
3010
3011#### Mantle of Inspiration
3012When you join the College of Glamour at 3rd level, you gain the ability to weave a song of fey magic that enthralls your allies with vigor and speed.
3013
3014As a bonus action, you can expend a use of Bardic Inspiration to grant yourself a wondrous, otherworldly appearance. When you do so, choose a number of allies you can see and who can see you within 60 feet of you, up to a number of them equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each target gains 2d6 temporary hit points. When a target gains these temporary hit points, it can also use its reaction to move up to its speed toward you, without provoking opportunity attacks. It must take the shortest,
3015safest path to you.
3016
3017The number of temporary hit points increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2d8 at 5th level, 2d10 at 10th level, and 2d12 at 15th level.
3018
3019#### Enthralling Performance
3020Starting at 3rd level, you can charge your performance with seductive fey magic. If you perform for at least 10 minutes, you can attempt to inspire wonder in your audience by singing, reciting a poem, or dancing. At the end of the performance, choose a number of humanoids within 60 feet of you who watched and listened to all of it, up to a number of them equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be charmed by you. While charmed in this way, the target idolizes you, it speaks glowingly of you to anyone who speaks to it, and it hinders anyone who opposes you, avoiding violence unless it was already inclined to fight on your behalf. This effect ends on a target after 1 hour, if it takes any damage, if you attack it, or if it witnesses you attacking or damaging any of its allies.
3021
3022If a target succeeds on its save against this effect, the target has no hint that you tried to charm it.
3023
3024Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
3025
3026```
3027```
3028
3029#### Mantle of Majesty
3030At 6th level, you gain the ability to cloak yourself in a fey magic that makes others want to serve you. As a bonus action, you take on an appearance of unearthly beauty for 1 minute. During this time, you can cast *command* as a bonus action on each of your turns, without using a spell slot. This effect lasts for 1 minute, and any creature charmed by you automatically fails its saving throw against the spell.
3031
3032Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
3033
3034#### Unbreakable Majesty
3035At 14th level, you gain an otherworldly aspect to your appearance that makes you look more fierce and lovely.
3036
3037In addition, through this feature, you can cast *sanctuary* on yourself. If a creature fails its saving throw against the spell, you also gain advantage on all Charisma checks against the creature for 1 minute, and it has disadvantage on any saving throw it makes against your spells on your next turn.
3038
3039Once you cast *sanctuary* using this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

3047
3048### College of Satire
3049Bards of the College of Satire are called jesters. They use lowbrow stories, daring acrobatics, and cutting jokes to entertain audiences, ranging from the crowds in a rundown dockside pub to the nobles of a king’s royal court. Where other bards seek forgotten lore or tales of epic bravery, jesters ferret out embarrassing and hilarious stories of all kinds. Whether telling the ribald tale of a brawny stable hand’s affair with an aged duchess or a mocking satire of a paladin of Helm’s cloying innocence, a jester never lets taste, social decorum, or shame get in the way of a good laugh.
3050
3051While jesters are masters of puns, jokes, and verbal barbs, they are much more than just comic relief. They are expected to mock and provoke, taking advantage of how even the most powerful folk are expected by tradition to endure a jester’s barbs with good humor. This expectation allows a jester to serve as a critic or a voice of reason when others are too intimidated to speak the truth.
3052
3053For the duchess with a taste for strapping young laborers, such tales might serve to warn the targets of her affections and force her to change her ways for lack of willing partners. Striking back at the jester only ruins her already damaged reputation, and might provide the best evidence that the jester’s satires have hit their mark. But if she is kind and generous to her conquests, the jokes and stories cast her as a kind of folk hero, while drawing even more potential partners to her.
3054
3055Jesters are loyal to only one cause: the pursuit and propagation of the truth. They use their comedy and innocuous appearance to break down social barriers and expose corruption, incompetence, and stupidity among the rich and powerful. Whether revealing a con artist’s treachery or exposing a baron’s plans for war as driven by greed and bloodlust, a jester serves as the conscience of a realm.
3056
3057Jesters adventure to safeguard the common folk and to undermine the plans of the rich, powerful, and arrogant. Their magic bolsters allies’ spirits while casting doubt into foes’ minds. Among bards, jesters are unmatched acrobats, and their ability to tumble, dodge, leap, and climb makes them slippery opponents in battle.
3058
3059#### Bonus Proficiencies
3060When you join the College of Satire at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with thieves’ tools. You also gain proficiency in Sleight of Hand and one additional skill of your choice. If you are already proficient with thieves’ tools or in Sleight of Hand, choose another skill proficiency for each proficiency you already have.
3061
3062#### Tumbling Fool
3063At 3rd level, you master a variety of acrobatic techniques that allow you to evade danger. As a bonus action, you can tumble. When you tumble, you gain the following benefits for the rest of your turn:
3064
3065- You gain the benefits of taking the Dash and Disengage actions.
3066- You gain a climbing speed equal to your current speed.
3067- You take half damage from falling.
3068
3069```
3070```
3071
3072#### Fool’s Insight
3073At 6th level, your ability to gather stories and lore gains a supernatural edge. You can cast *detect thoughts* up to a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain any expended uses of this ability after completing a long rest.
3074
3075If a creature resists your attempt to probe deeper and succeeds at its saving throw against your *detect thoughts*, it immediately suffers an embarrassing social gaffe. It might loudly pass gas, unleash a thunderous burp, trip and fall, or be compelled to tell a tasteless joke.
3076
3077#### Fool’s Luck
3078Jesters seem to have a knack for pulling themselves out of tight situations, transforming what looks like sure failure into an embarrassing but effective success.
3079
3080At 14th level, you can expend one use of Bardic Inspiration after you fail an ability check, fail a saving throw, or miss with an attack roll. Roll a Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to your attack, saving throw, or ability check, using the new result in place of the failed one.
3081
3082If using this ability grants you a success on the attack, saving throw, or ability check, note the number you rolled on the Bardic Inspiration die. The DM can then apply that result as a penalty to an attack or check you make, and you cannot use this ability again until you suffer this drawback. When the DM invokes this penalty, describe an embarrassing gaffe or mistake you make as part of the affected die roll.

3090
3091### College of Swords
3092Bards of the College of Swords are called blades, and they entertain through daring feats of weapon prowess. Blades perform stunts such as sword swallowing, knife throwing and juggling, and mock combats. Though they use their weapons to entertain, they are also highly trained and skilled warriors in their own right.
3093
3094Their talent with weapons inspires many blades to lead double lives. One blade might use a circus troupe as cover for nefarious deeds such as assassination, robbery, and blackmail. Other blades strike at the wicked, bringing justice to bear against the cruel and powerful. Most troupes are happy to accept a blade’s talent for the excitement it adds to a performance, but few entertainers fully trust them.
3095
3096<img

3098 style='position:absolute;bottom:-85px;left:-95px;width:600px' />
3099
3100```
3101```
3102
3103Blades who abandon lives as entertainers have often run into trouble that makes maintaining their secret activities impossible. A blade caught stealing or engaging in vigilante justice is too great a liability for most performer troupes. With their weapon skills and magic, these blades either take up work as enforcers for thieves’ guilds or strike out on their own as adventurers.
3104
3105#### Bonus Proficiencies
3106When you join the College of Blades at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium armor and scimitars. If you’re proficient with a simple or martial melee weapon, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.
3107
3108#### Fighting Style
3109At 3rd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if something in the game lets you choose again.
3110
3111** *Dueling.* ** When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
3112
3113** *Two-Weapon Fighting.* ** When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
3114
3115#### Blade Flourish
3116At 3rd level, you learn to conduct impressive displays of martial prowess and speed.
3117
3118As an action, you can make one melee weapon attack, and your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of the current turn. Whenever you use this action, you can also use one of the following Blade Flourish options as part of it.
3119
3120** *Defensive Flourish.* ** You spin your weapon in circles, creating a hypnotic display. You can expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration, rolling a Bardic Inspiration die and adding the number rolled to your AC until the start of your next turn.
3121
3122** *Slashing Flourish.* ** If the attack hits its target, you can expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration to cause the weapon to damage each creature of your choice, other than the target, that you can see within 5 feet of you. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die.
3123
3124** *Mobile Flourish.* ** If the attack hits its target, you can expend one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration to push the target up to 5 feet away from you, plus a number of feet equal to the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die. You can then immediately use your reaction to move up to your speed to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the target.
3125
3126#### Cunning Flourish
3127Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you use the Blade Flourish action on your turn. You can, nevertheless, still use only one Blade Flourish option when you take that action.
3128
3129#### Master’s Flourish
3130Starting at 14th level, whenever you use a Blade Flourish option, you can roll a d6 and use it instead of expending a Bardic Inspiration die.
3131

3133<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>SUB-CLASSES | BARD COLLEGES</div>
3134
3135### College of Whispers
3136Most folk are happy to welcome a bard into their midst. Bards of the College of Whispers use this to their advantage. They appear to be like any other bard, sharing news, singing songs, and telling tales to the audiences they gather. In truth, the College of Whispers teaches its students that they are wolves among sheep. These bards use their knowledge and magic to uncover secrets and turn them against others through extortion and threats.
3137
3138Many other bards hate the College of Whispers, viewing it as a parasite that uses the bards’ reputation to acquire wealth and power. For this reason, these bards rarely reveal their true nature unless they must. They typically claim to follow some other college, or keep their true nature secret in order to better infiltrate and exploit royal courts and other settings of power.
3139
3140#### Venomous Blades
3141When you join the College of Whispers at 3rd level, you gain the ability to magically make your weapon attacks toxic for a moment.
3142
3143When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to deal an additional 2d6 poison damage to that target. You can do so only once per round on your turn.
3144
3145The additional damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2d8 at 5th level, 2d10 at 10th level, and 2d12 at 15th level.
3146
3147#### Venomous Words
3148At 3rd level, you learn to infuse innocentseeming words with an insidious magic. A creature that hears you speak can become plunged into fear and paranoia.
3149
3150If you speak to a humanoid alone for at least 10 minutes, you can attempt to seed paranoia and fear into its mind. At the end of the conversation, the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be frightened for the next hour, until it is attacked or damaged, or until it witnesses its allies being attacked or damaged. While frightened in this way, the target is paranoid and tries to avoid the company of others, including its allies. The target seeks out what it considers the safest, most secret place available to it and hides there.
3151
3152If the target succeeds on its save, the target has no hint that you tried to frighten it.
3153
3154Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short rest or long rest.
3155
3156#### Mantle of Whispers
3157At 6th level, you gain the ability to adopt a creature’s persona. When you slay a creature with an attack or a spell or a creature dies within 5 feet of you, you can magically capture its shadow using your reaction. You can capture only the shadow of a creature that is your creature type, such as humanoid, and your size (you can capture a Small or Medium shadow if you’re Small), and you can have only one shadow captured at a time.
3158
3159```
3160```
3161
3162After you capture a creature’s shadow, you can use your magic to weave it into a disguise that allows you to take on its appearance and gain access to its surface memories. As an action, you take on the creature’s appearance for 1 hour or until you end this effect as a bonus action.
3163
3164During that hour, you gain access to all information that the creature would freely share with a casual acquaintance. Information includes general details on its background and personal life, but does not include secrets. The information is enough that you can pass yourself off as the creature by drawing on its memories.
3165
3166Another creature can see through this disguise by making a Wisdom (Insight) check opposed by your Charisma (Deception) check, though you gain a +5 bonus to your check.
3167
3168The disguise and the knowledge it grants disappears when this ability’s duration ends.
3169
3170#### Shadow Lore
3171At 14th level, you gain the ability to weave dark magic into your words and tap into a creature’s deepest fears.
3172
3173As an action, you magically whisper a phrase that only one creature of your choice within 30 feet of you can hear. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. It automatically succeeds if it doesn’t share a language with you or if it can’t hear you. On a successful saving throw, your whisper sounds like unintelligible mumbling and has no effect.
3174
3175If the target fails its saving throw, it is charmed by you for the next 8 hours or until you or your allies attack or damage it. It interprets the whispers as a description of its most mortifying secret. While you gain no knowledge of this secret, the target is convinced you know it.
3176
3177While charmed in this way, the creature obeys your commands for fear that you will reveal its secret. It won’t risk its life for you or fight for you, unless it was already inclined to do so. It grants you favors and gifts it would offer to a close friend.
3178
3179When the effect ends, the creature has no understanding of why it held you in such fear.
3180
3181Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

3190## Divine Domains
3191At 1st level, a cleric gains the Divine Domain feature. Here are new domain options for that feature: Forge, Grave, and Protection.
3192
3193### Forge Domain
3194The gods of the forge are patrons of artisans who work with metal, from a humble blacksmith who keeps a village in horseshoes and plow blades to the mighty elf artisan whose diamond-tipped arrows of mithral have felled demon lords. The gods of the forge teach that, with patience and hard work, even the most intractable metal can transform from a lump of ore to a beautifully wrought object. Clerics of these deities quest to search for objects lost to the forces of darkness, liberate mines overrun by orcs, and uncover rare and wondrous materials necessary to create potent magic items. Followers of these gods take great pride in their work, and they are willing to craft and use heavy armor and powerful weapons to protect them. Deities of this domain include Gond, Reorx, Onatar, Moradin, Hephaestus, and Goibhniu.

3215#### Blessing of the Forge
3216At 1st level, you gain the ability to imbue magic into a weapon or armor. At the end of a long rest, touch one nonmagical object that is a suit of armor or a simple or martial weapon. Until the end of your next long rest, the object becomes a magic item, granting a +1 bonus to AC if it’s armor or a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls if it’s a weapon.
3217
3218Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
3219
3220#### Channel Divinity: Artisan’s Blessing
3221Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create simple items.
3222
3223Starting at the beginning of a short rest, you conduct a ritual to your deity that grants you the ability to craft a finished item that is at least part metal. The item is completed at the end of the rest.
3224
3225The object can be worth no more than 100 gp, and as part of this ritual you must expend metals, such as coins or other finished items, with a value equal to the item you want to make. The item can be an exact duplicate of a nonmagical item, such as a copy of a key, if you possess the original during your short rest.
3226
3227#### Soul of the Forge
3228Starting at 6th level, your mastery of the forge grants you a number of special abilities:
3229
3230- You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you are wearing medium or heavy armor.
3231- You gain resistance to fire damage.
3232- When you hit a construct with an attack, you deal additional force damage to it equal to your cleric level.
3233
3234#### Divine Strike
3235At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with the fiery power of the forge. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
3236
3237#### Saint of Forge and Fire
3238At 17th level, your affinity for fire and metal becomes more powerful due to your deity’s blessing. You gain immunity to fire damage, and while you’re wearing heavy armor, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.

3243### Grave Domain
3244Gods of the grave watch over the line between life and death. To these deities, death and the afterlife are a foundational part of the multiverse’s workings. To resist death, or to desecrate the dead’s rest, is an abomination. Deities of the grave include Kelemvor, Wee Jas, the ancestral spirits of the Undying Court, Hades, Anubis, and Osiris. These deities teach their followers to respect the dead and pay them due homage. Followers of these deities seek to put restless spirits to rest, destroy the undead wherever they find them, and ease the suffering of dying creatures. Their magic also allows them to stave off a creature’s death, though they refuse to use such magic to extend a creature’s lifespan beyond its mortal limits.
3245
3246##### Grave Domain Spells
3247| Cleric Level | Spells
3248|:----:|:-------------|
3249| 1st | *bane, false life*

3255#### Bonus Proficiency
3256When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with heavy armor.
3257
3258#### Circle of Mortality
3259At 1st level, you gain the ability to manipulate the line between life and death. When you cast a spell that restores hit points to a living creature currently at 0, treat any dice rolled to determine the spell’s healing as having rolled their maximum result. In addition, if you have the *spare the dying* cantrip, you can cast it as a bonus action.
3260
3261#### Eyes of the Grave
3262Starting at 1st level, you gain an innate sense of creatures whose existence is an insult to the natural cycle of life. If you spend 1 minute in uninterrupted contemplation, you can determine the presence and nature of undead creatures in the area. This detection extends up to 1 mile in all directions. You learn the number of undead and their distance and direction from you. In addition, you learn the creature type of the undead in that area that has the highest challenge rating.
3263
3264Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
3265
3266#### Channel Divinity: Path to the Grave
3267Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creature’s life force for termination.
3268
3269As an action, you touch a creature. The next time that creature takes damage from a spell or an attack from you or an ally, it is vulnerable to that spell or attack’s damage. If the source of damage has multiple damage types, the creature is vulnerable to all of them. The vulnerability applies only to the first time that source inflicts damage, and then ends.
3270
3271If the creature has resistance or is immune to the damage, it instead loses its resistance or immunity against that spell or attack when it first applies damage.
3272
3273```
3274```
3275
3276#### Sentinel at Death’s Door
3277Starting at 6th level, you gain the ability to impede death’s progress. As a reaction when you or an ally that you can see within 30 feet of you suffers a critical hit, you can turn that attack into a normal hit. Any effects triggered by a critical hit are canceled.
3278
3279Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
3280
3281#### Divine Strike
3282At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
3283
3284#### Keeper of Souls
3285At 17th level, you gain the ability to manipulate the boundary between life and death. When an enemy you can see dies within 30 feet of you, you or one ally of your choice that is within 30 feet of you regains hit points equal to the enemy’s number of Hit Dice. You can use this feature as long as you aren’t incapacitated, but no more than once per round.

3295### Protection Domain
3296The protection domain is the purview of deities who charge their followers to shield the weak from the strong. The gods’ faithful dwell in villages and towns on the borderlands, where they help bolster defenses and seek out evils to defeat. These gods believe that a strong shield and a suit of armor is the best defense against evil, second only to a stout mace on hand to respond to any attacks in kind. Deities who grant this domain include Helm, Ilmater, Torm, Tyr, Heironeous, St. Cuthbert, Paladine, Dol Dorn, the Silver Flame, Bahamut, Yondalla, Athena, and Odin.
3297
3298##### Protection Domain Spells
3299| Cleric | Level Spells|
3300|:----:|:-------------|
3301| 1st | *compelled duel, protection from evil and good*
3302| 3rd | *aid, protection from poison*
3303| 5th | *protection from energy, slow*
3304| 7th | *guardian of faith, Otiluke’s resilient sphere*
3305| 9th | *antilife shell, wall of force*
3306
3307#### Bonus Proficiency
3308When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with heavy armor.
3309
3310#### Shield of the Faithful
3311Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to hinder attacks intended for others. When a creature attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. To do so, you must be able to see both the attacker and the target. You interpose an arm, a shield, or some other part of yourself to try to throw the attack off target.
3312
3313```
3314```
3315
3316#### Channel Divinity: Radiant Defense
3317Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to cloak your allies in radiant armor.
3318
3319As an action, you channel blessed energy into an ally that you can see within 30 feet of you. The first time that ally is hit by an attack within the next minute, the attacker takes radiant damage equal to 2d10 + your cleric level.
3320
3321#### Blessed Healer
3322Beginning at 6th level, the healing spells you cast on others can heal you as well. When you cast a spell with a spell slot and it restores hit points to any creature other than you this turn, you regain hit points equal to 2 + the spell’s level.
3323
3324#### Divine Strike
3325At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
3326
3327#### Indomitable Defense
3328At 17th level, you gain resistance to two damage types of your choice, choosing from bludgeoning, necrotic, piercing, radiant, and slashing. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can change the damage types you chose.
3329
3330As an action, you can temporarily give up this resistance and transfer it to one creature you touch. The creature keeps the resistance until the end of your next short or long rest or until you transfer it back to yourself as a bonus action.

3346## Druid Circles
3347At 2nd level, a druid gains the Druid Circle feature. Here are new options for that feature: Circle of Dreams, Circle of the Shepherd, and Circle of Twilight.
3348
3349### Circle of Dreams
3350Druids who are members of the Circle of Dreams hail from regions that have strong ties to the Feywild. The druids’ guardianship of the natural world makes for a natural alliance between them and good-aligned fey. These druids seek to fill the world with merriment and light. Their magic mends wounds and brings joy to downcast hearts, and the realms they protect are gleaming, fruitful places.
3351
3352#### Balm of the Summer Court
3353At 2nd level, you become imbued with the blessings of the Summer Court. You are a font of energy that lends relief to weary feet and respite from injuries. You have a pool of fey energy represented by a number of d6s equal to your druid level.
3354
3355As a bonus action, you can choose an ally you can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of those dice equal to half your druid level or less. Roll the spent dice and add them together. The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total. The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent, and its speed increases by 5 feet per die spent. The speed increase lasts for 1 minute.
3356
3357You regain the expended dice when you finish a long rest.
3358
3359```
3360```
3361
3362<div style='margin-top:280px'></div>
3363#### Hearth of Moonlight and Shadow
3364At 6th level, home is wherever you set up camp. During a short or long rest, you can invoke the shadowy power of the Gloaming Court to ward your campsite from intruders. At the start of the rest, you create an area with a 30-foot radius. Within this area, you and your allies gain a +5 bonus to Wisdom (Perception) checks to detect creatures, and any light from open flames (campfire, torches, and the like) is not visible outside the area. These effects end when the rest finishes or when you leave the area.
3365
3366#### Hidden Paths
3367At 10th level, you can use the hidden, unpredictable magical pathways that some fey use to traverse space in a blink of an eye. On your turn, you can teleport up to 30 feet to a spot you can see. Each foot of this teleportation costs 1 foot of your movement.
3368
3369You can also use this feature to teleport someone else. As an action, you can teleport a willing ally you touch up to 30 feet to a point you
3370can see.
3371
3372Once you use either option—teleporting yourself or an ally—you can’t use that option again until 1d4 rounds have passed.
3373
3374#### Purifying Light
3375At 14th level, the favor of the Summer Court allows you to end spells that hamper you and your allies. When you cast a spell with a spell slot and it restores hit points to you or an ally this turn, you can simultaneously target the healed creature with *dispel magic*, using a spell slot with a level equal to the slot used to cast the healing spell.
3376
3377You can use this feature three times, and you regain expended uses of it when you finish a long rest. If the healing spell targets more than one creature, you can use this feature on more than one at the same time, expending one use of it per creature.

3384 style='position:absolute;bottom:-80px;left:0px;width:800px' />
3385
3386### Circle of the Shepherd
3387Druids of the Circle of the Shepherd commune with the spirits of beasts. While these druids recognize that all living things play a role in the natural world, they focus on protecting animals. Shepherds, as they are known, see beasts as their charges. They ward off monsters that threaten natural creatures, rebuke hunters who kill more prey than necessary, and prevent civilization from encroaching on habitats and paths needed for animal migrations. Many of these druids are happiest far from cities and towns, content to spend their days in the company of wild animals.
3388
3389#### Spirit Bond
3390Starting at 2nd level, you gain the ability to call forth animal spirits and use them to influence the world around you. As a bonus action, you
3391magically summon a Medium spirit to an unoccupied space you can see within 60 feet of you. The spirit creates an aura in a 30-foot radius around it, it doesn’t occupy its space, it is immobile, and it counts as neither a creature nor an object.
3392
3393The nature of the aura depends on the type of spirit you choose to summon:
3394___
3395- ** *Bear.* ** The bear spirit grants you and your allies its might and endurance. You and your allies who are in the aura when the spirit appears each gain temporary hit points equal to 5 + your druid level. In addition, you and your allies gain advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws while in the aura.
3396
3397```
3398```
3399___
3400- ** *Hawk.* ** The hawk spirit is a consummate hunter, marking your enemies with its keen sight. You and your allies gain advantage on ranged attack rolls against targets in the spirit’s aura.
3401- ** *Wolf.* ** The wolf spirit lends you and your allies its precise senses, while your magic works to benefit the members of your pack. You and your allies gain advantage on all ability checks made to detect creatures in the spirit’s aura. In addition, if you cast a spell with a spell slot that restores hit points to anyone inside or outside the aura, each of your allies in the aura also regains hit points equal to your druid level.
3402
3403The spirit persists for 1 minute. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
3404
3405#### Beast Speech
3406At 2nd level, you gain the ability to converse with beasts. Beasts can understand your speech, and you gain the ability to decipher their noises and motions into recognizable words and phrases. Most beasts lack the intelligence to convey or understand sophisticated concepts, but a friendly beast could relay what it has seen or heard in the recent past.
3407
3408This ability does not grant you any special friendship with beasts, though you can combine this ability with gifts and other favors to curry favor with them as you would any other nonplayer character.
3409
3410#### Mighty Summoner
3411At 6th level, you gain the ability to conjure forth powerful animals. Any beast summoned or created by your spells gains two benefits. Its hit point maximum increases by 2 per Hit Die, and the damage from its natural weapons is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks and damage.
3412
3413#### Guardian Spirit
3414At 10th level, you gain the services of a spirit that watches over you and protects you from harm. Whenever you finish a long rest, you gain the benefits of a death *ward spell*. The spell’s duration is extended to 24 hours.
3415
3416

3418<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>SUB-CLASSES | DRUID CIRCLES </div>
3419
3420#### Faithful Summons
3421Starting at 14th level, the bestial spirits you commune with protect you when you are vulnerable. If you are reduced to 0 hit points or are incapacitated against your will, you can immediately gain the benefits of *conjure animals* as if it was cast with a 9th-level spell slot. It summons four beasts of your choice that are challenge rating 2 or lower. The conjured beasts appear within 20 feet of you. If they receive no commands from you, they protect you from harm and attack your foes. The spell lasts for 1hour.
3422
3423Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
3424
3425### Circle of Twilight
3426The Circle of Twilight seeks to exterminate undead creatures and preserve the natural cycle of life and death that rules over the cosmos. Their magic allows them to manipulate the boundary between life and death, sending their foes to their final rest while keeping their allies from that fate.
3427
3428These druids seek out lands that have been tainted by undeath. Such places are grim and foreboding. Once vibrant forests become gloomy, haunted places devoid of animals and filled with plants dying a slow, lingering death. The Circle of Twilight goes to such places to banish undeath and restore life.
3429
3430#### Harvest’s Scythe
3431Starting at 2nd level, you learn to unravel and harvest the life energy of other creatures. You can augment your spells to drain the life force from creatures. You have a pool of energy represented by a number of d10s equal to your druid level.
3432
3433When you roll damage for a spell, you can increase that damage by spending dice from the pool. You can spend a number of dice equal to half your druid level or less. Roll the spent dice and add them to the damage as necrotic damage. If you kill one or more hostile creatures with a spell augmented in this way, you or an ally of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you regains 2 hit points per die spent to increase the spell’s damage, or 5 hit points per die if at least one of the slain creatures was undead.
3434
3435You regain the expended dice when you finish a long rest.
3436
3437#### Speech Beyond the Grave
3438At 6th level, you gain the ability to reach beyond death’s veil in search of knowledge. Using this feature, you can cast speak with dead without material components, and you understand what the target of this casting says. It can understand your questions, even if you don’t share a language or it is not intelligent enough to speak.
3439
3440Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
3441
3442#### Watcher at the Threshold
3443At 10th level, you gain resistance to necrotic and radiant damage. In addition, while you aren’t incapacitated, any ally within 30 feet of you has advantage on death saving throws.
3444
3445```
3446```
3447
3448#### Paths of the Dead
3449At 14th level, your mastery of death allows you to tread the paths used by ghosts and other spirits. Using this feature, you can cast etherealness. Once the spell ends, you can’t cast it with this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

3457
3458## Martial Archetypes
3459At 3rd level, a fighters gains the Martial Archetype feature. Here are new options for that feature: Arcane Archer, Cavalier, Knight, Monster Hunter, Samurai, Scout and Sharpshooter
3460
3461### Arcane Archer
3462An Arcane Archer studies a unique elven method of archery that weaves magic into attacks to produce supernatural effects. Among elves, Arcane Archers are some of their most elite warriors. These archers stand watch over the fringes of elven domains, keeping a keen eye out for trespassers and using magic-infused arrows to defeat monsters and invaders before they can reach elven settlements. Over the centuries, the methods of these elf archers have been learned by members of other races who can also balance arcane aptitude with archery.
3463
3464#### Magic Arrow
3465When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the ability to infuse arrows with magic. Whenever you fire a nonmagical arrow from a shortbow or longbow, you can make it a magic arrow, with a +1 bonus to the attack and damage rolls. The magic fades from the arrow immediately after it hits or misses its target
3466
3467#### Arcane Shot
3468At 3rd level, you learn to unleash special magical effects with some of your shots. When you gain this feature, you learn two Arcane Shot options of your choice (see the “Arcane Shot Options†section below).
3469
3470Once per turn when you fire a magic arrow from a shortbow or longbow as part of the Attack action, you can apply one of your Arcane Shot options to that arrow. You decide to use the option when the arrow hits, unless the option doesn’t involve an attack roll. You have two uses of this ability, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.
3471
3472You gain an additional Arcane Shot option of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class: 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level. Each option also improves when you become an 18th-level fighter.
3473
3474#### Arcane Archer’s Lore
3475At 3rd level, you learn magical theory or some of the secrets of nature—typical for practitioners of this elven martial tradition. You gain proficiency in either the Arcana or the Nature skill.
3476
3477#### Curving Shot
3478At 7th level, you learn how to direct an errant arrow toward a new target. When you make an attack roll with a magic arrow and miss, you can use a bonus action to reroll the attack roll against a different target within 60 feet of the original target.
3479
3480#### Ever-Ready Arrow
3481Starting at 15th level, your magical archery is ever available to you when you need it most. If you roll initiative and have no uses of Arcane Shot remaining, you regain one use of it.
3482
3483```
3484```
3485
3486#### Arcane Shots
3487The Arcane Shot feature lets you choose options for it at certain levels. The options are presented here in alphabetical order. They are all magical effects, and each one is associated with one of the schools of magic.
3488
3489If an option requires a saving throw, your Arcane Shot save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.
3490
3491** *Banishing Arrow.* ** You use abjuration magic to try to temporarily banish your target to a harmless location in the Feywild. If the arrow hits a creature, the target must also succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be banished. While banished in this way, its speed is 0, and it is incapacitated. At the end of its next turn, the target reappears in the space it vacated or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
3492
3493After you reach 18th level in this class, a target also takes 2d6 force damage when the arrow hits it.
3494
3495** *Brute Bane Arrow.* ** You weave necromantic magic into your arrow. If the arrow hits a creature, the target takes an extra 2d6 necrotic damage, and it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the damage of the target’s attacks is halved until the start of your next turn.
3496
3497The necrotic damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.

3504<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>SUB-CLASSES | MARTIAL ARCHETYPES </div>
3505
3506`....`** *Bursting Arrow.* ** You imbue your arrow with a blast of force energy drawn from the school of evocation. If the arrow hits a creature, the target and each creature within 10 feet of it also take 2d6 force damage each.
3507
3508The force damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
3509
3510** *Grasping Arrow.* ** When this arrow strikes its target, conjuration magic creates grasping, poisonous brambles, which wrap around the target. If the arrow hits a creature, the target takes an extra 2d6 poison damage, its speed is reduced by 10 feet, and it takes 2d6 slashing damage the first time on each turn it moves 1 foot or more without teleporting. The target or any creature that can reach it can use its action to remove the brambles with a successful Strength (Athletics) check against your Arcane Shot save DC. Otherwise, the brambles last for 1 minute or until you use this option again.
3511
3512The poison and slashing damage both increase to 4d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
3513
3514
3515** *Mind-Scrambling Arrow.* ** Your enchantment magic causes this arrow to temporarily beguile its target. Choose one of your allies within 30 feet of the target. If the arrow hits a creature, the target takes an extra 2d6 psychic damage, and it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or it can’t attack the chosen ally or include that ally in a harmful area of effect until the start of your next turn. This effect ends early if the chosen ally deals any damage to the target.
3516
3517The psychic damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
3518
3519** *Piercing Arrow.* ** You use transmutation magic to give your arrow an ethereal quality. When you use this option, you don’t make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, the arrow fires forward in a line that is 1 foot wide and 30 feet long, before disappearing. The arrow passes harmlessly through objects, ignoring cover. Each creature in that line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow, plus an extra 1d6 piercing damage. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage.
3520
3521The piercing damage increases to 2d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
3522
3523** *Seeking Arrow.* ** Using divination magic, you grant your arrow the ability to seek out your target, allowing the arrow to curve and twist its path in search of its prey. When you use this option, you don’t make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, choose one creature you have seen in the past minute. The arrow flies toward that creature, moving around corners if necessary and ignoring three-quarters cover and half cover. If the target is within the weapon’s range and there is a path large enough for the arrow to travel to the target, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow, plus an extra 1d6 force damage, and you learn the target’s current location. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, and you don’t learn its location.
3524
3525The force damage increases to 2d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
3526
3527** *Shadow Arrow.* ** You weave illusion magic into your arrow, causing it to occlude your foe’s vision with shadows. If the arrow hits a creature, the target takes an extra 2d6 psychic damage, and it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be unable to see anything farther than 5 feet away until the start of your next turn.
3528
3529The psychic damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.

3565#### Improved Combat Superiority

3570
3571### Knight
3572The Knight is a colossus on the battlefield who can shrug off attacks and protect allies from harm. Knights fight from the saddle when they can, and in combat they are expected to seek out and lock down the mightiest of the enemy’s
3573forces. On adventures, they are the armored bulwark that strives to keep the rest of the party safe.
3574
3575#### Born to the Saddle
3576Starting at 3rd level, mounting or dismounting a creature costs you only 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed. In addition, you have advantage on saving throws made to avoid falling off your mount. If you fall off it, you can automatically land on your feet if you aren’t incapacitated and you fall less than 10 feet.
3577
3578#### Implacable Mark
3579At 3rd level, you excel at foiling attacks and protecting your allies by menacing your foes. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, the target is marked by you until the end of your next turn. A creature ignores this effect if the creature can’t be frightened.
3580
3581The marked target has disadvantage on any attack roll against a creature other than you or someone else who marked it.
3582
3583If a target marked by you is within 5 feet of you on its turn and it moves at least 1 foot or makes an attack that suffers disadvantage from this feature, you can make one melee weapon attack against it using your reaction. This attack roll has advantage, and if it hits, the attack’s weapon deals extra damage to the target equal to your fighter level.
3584
3585You can make this special attack even if you have already expended your reaction this round, but not if you have already used your reaction this turn. You can make this attack three times, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.
3586
3587#### Noble Cavalry
3588At 7th level, you gain proficiency in two of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, History, Insight, Persuasion, or Religion. Alternatively, you learn one language of your choice.
3589
3590#### Hold the Line
3591At 10th level, you master the ability to harass and slow your enemies. As a reaction when a creature moves at least 1 foot within 5 feet of you, you can make one melee weapon attack against that creature. If you hit, the attack’s weapon deals extra damage to the target equal to half your fighter level, and the target’s speed is reduced to 0 until the end of this turn.
3592
3593#### Rapid Strike
3594Starting at 15th level, you learn to trade accuracy for swift strikes. If you have advantage on a weapon attack against a target on your turn, you can forgo that advantage to immediately make an additional weapon attack against the same target as a bonus action.
3595
3596#### Defender’s Blade
3597At 18th level, you respond to danger with extraordinary vigilance. You can use your reaction for an opportunity attack even if you have already expended your reaction this round, but not if you have already used your reaction this turn.

3626- When you make a Wisdom (Perception) check to detect a hidden creature or object, or a Wisdom (Insight) check to determine if someone is lying to you, you can expend one superiority die to add it to the roll.

3657
3658#### Rapid Strike

3660
3661#### Strength Before Death
3662Starting at 18th level, your fighting spirit can delay the grasp of death. If you take damage that would reduce you to 0 hit points, you can delay that damage and immediately take a bonus turn, interrupting the current turn. You don’t take the damage until the bonus turn ends. It is possible to do things, such as gaining resistance, that change how much of that damage you take.

3708Beginning when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, your aim becomes deadly. As a bonus action on your turn, you can take careful aim at a creature you can see that is within range of a ranged weapon you’re wielding. Until the end of this turn, your ranged attacks with that weapon gain two benefits against the target:
3709- The attacks ignore half and three-quarters cover.

3734
3735## Monastic Traditions
3736At 3rd level, a monk gains the Monastic Tradition feature. Here are new options for that feature: the Way of the Kensei and the Way of Tranquility.
3737
3738### Way of the Kensei
3739Monks of the Way of Kensei train relentlessly with their weapons, to the point that the weapon becomes like an extension of the body. A kensei sees a weapon in much the same way a painter regards a brush or a writer sees parchment, ink, and quill. A sword or bow is a tool used to express the beauty and elegance of the martial arts. That such mastery makes a kensei a peerless warrior is but a side effect of intense devotion, practice, and study.
3740
3741#### Path of the Kensei
3742When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your special martial arts training leads you to master the use of certain weapons. You gain the following benefits:
3743- Choose two types of weapons to be your kensei weapons: one melee weapon and one ranged weapon. Each of these weapons can be any simple or martial weapon that lacks the heavy and special properties. The longbow is also a valid choice. You gain proficiency with these weapons if you don’t already have it. Weapons of the chosen types are monk weapons for you. Many of this tradition’s features work only with your kensei weapons. When you reach 6th, 11th, and 17th level in this class, you can choose another type of weapon—melee or ranged—to be a kensei weapon for you, following the criteria above.
3744
3745```
3746```
3747
3748- If you make an unarmed strike as part of the Attack action on your turn and are holding a kensei weapon, you can use it to defend yourself if it is a melee weapon. You gain a +2 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn, while the weapon is in your hand and you aren’t incapacitated.
3749- You can use a bonus action on your turn to make your ranged attacks with a kensei weapon more deadly. When you do so, any target you hit with a ranged attack using a kensei weapon takes an extra 1d4 damage of the weapon’s type. You retain this benefit until the end of the current turn.
3750
3751#### One with the Blade
3752At 6th level, you extend your ki into your kensei weapons, granting you the following benefits.
3753
3754** *Magic Weapons.* ** Your attacks with your kensei weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
3755
3756** *Precise Strike.* ** When you hit a target with a kensei weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target equal to your Martial Arts die. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns.
3757
3758#### Sharpen the Blade
3759At 11th level, you gain the ability to augment your weapons further with your ki. As a bonus action, you can expend up to 3 ki points to grant one kensei weapon you touch a bonus to attack and damage rolls when you attack with it. The bonus equals the number of ki points you spent. This bonus lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature again.
3760
3761#### Unerring Accuracy
3762At 17th level, your mastery of weapons grants you extraordinary accuracy. If you make an attack roll with a monk weapon and miss, you can reroll it. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns.

3775
3776### Way of Tranquility
3777Monks of the Way of Tranquility see violence as a last resort. They use diplomacy, mercy, and understanding to resolve conflicts. If pushed, though, they are capable warriors who can bring an end to the unjust or cruel folk who refuse to listen to reason. When adventuring, these monks make excellent diplomats. They are also skilled in the healing arts, and can preserve their allies in the face of daunting foes.
3778
3779#### Path of Tranquility
3780When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can become an island of calm in even the most chaotic of situations. With this feature, you can cast the *sanctuary* spell on yourself, no material component required, and it lasts up to 8 hours. Its saving throw DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. A creature that succeeds on the save is immune to this effect for 1 hour.
3781
3782Once you cast the spell in this way, you can’t do so again for 1 minute.
3783#### Healing Hands
3784Your mystical touch can heal wounds. Starting at 3rd level, you have a pool of magical 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 monk level × 10.
3785
3786As 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 the pool. Instead of healing the creature, 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 Healing Hands, expending hit points separately for each one.
3787
3788When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can replace one of the unarmed strikes with a use of this feature.
3789
3790This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.
3791
3792```
3793```
3794
3795<div style='height:375px'></div>
3796
3797#### Emissary of Peace
3798At 6th level, you gain the ability to diffuse violent situations. Whenever you make a Charisma check to calm violent emotions or to counsel peace, you have advantage on the roll. You must make this entreaty in good faith; it doesn’t apply if proficiency in the Deception or Intimidation skill applies to your check.
3799
3800You also gain proficiency in the Performance or Persuasion skill (choose one).
3801
3802#### Douse the Flames of War
3803At 11th level, you gain the ability to temporarily extinguish a creature’s violent impulses. As an action, you can touch a creature, and it must make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. The target automatically succeeds if it’s missing any of its hit points. If the target fails the save, it can’t attack for 1 minute. During that time, it also can’t cast spells that deal damage or that force someone to make a saving throw.
3804
3805This effect ends if the target is attacked, takes damage, or is forced to make a saving throw or if the target witnesses any of those things happening to its allies.
3806
3807#### Anger of a Gentle Soul
3808At 17th level, you gain the ability to visit vengeance on someone who fells others. If you see a creature reduce another creature to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to grant yourself a bonus to all damage rolls against the aggressor until the end of your next turn. The bonus equals your monk level.
3809
3810Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

3814
3815## Sacred Oaths
3816At 3rd level, a paladin gains the Sacred Oath feature. Here are new options for that feature: the Oath of Conquest and the Oath of Treachery.
3817
3818### Oath of Conquest
3819The Oath of Conquest calls to paladins who seek glory in battle and the subjugation of their enemies. It isn’t enough for these paladins to establish order. They must crush the forces of chaos.
3820
3821Sometimes called knight tyrants or iron mongers, those who swear this oath gather into grim orders that serve gods or philosophies of war and well-ordered might. Some of these paladins go so far as to consort with the powers of the Nine Hells.
3822
3823The archdevil Bel, warlord of Avernus, counts many of these paladins —called hell knights— as his most ardent supporters. Hell knights cover their armor with trophies taken from fallen enemies, a grim warning to any who dare oppose them and the decrees of their lords.
3824
3825#### Tenets of Conquest
3826A paladin who takes this oath has the tenets of conquest seared on the upper arm. A hell knight’s oath appears in Infernal runes, a brutal reminder of vows to the Lords of Hell.
3827
3828** *Douse the Flame of Hope.* ** It is not enough to merely defeat an enemy in battle. Your victory must be so overwhelming that your enemies’ will to fight is shattered forever. A blade can end a life. Fear can end an empire.
3829
3830** *Rule with an Iron Fist.* ** Once you have conquered, tolerate no dissent. Your word is law. Those who obey it shall be favored. Those who defy it shall be punished as an example to all who might follow.
3831
3832** *Strength Above All.* ** You shall rule until a stronger one arises. Then you must grow mightier and meet the challenge, or fall to your own ruin.
3833
3834#### Oath Spells
3835You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.
3836
3837##### Oath of Conquest Spells
3838| Paladin Level | Spells |
3839|:----:|:-------------|
3840| 3rd | *armor of Agathys, command* |

3848
3849#### Channel Divinity
3850
3851When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
3852
3853** *Conquering Strike.* ** You can use your Channel Divinity to break a foe’s will. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack as part of the Attack action, you can also use your Channel Divinity to force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. The frightened creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
3854
3855** *Guided Strike.* ** You can use your Channel Divinity to strike with supernatural accuracy. When you make an attack roll, you can use your Channel Divinity to gain a +10 bonus to the roll. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the attack hits or misses.

3869
3870#### Aura of Conquest
3871Starting at 7th level, you emanate a menacing aura while you’re not incapacitated. The aura includes your space, extends 10 feet from you in every direction, and is blocked by total cover. Any enemy in the aura has disadvantage on saving throws against being frightened. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
3872
3873#### Implacable Spirit
3874Once you reach 15th level, you can no longer be charmed.
3875
3876#### Invincible Conqueror
3877At 20th level, you gain the ability to harness extraordinary martial prowess. As an action, you can magically become an avatar of conquest, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:
3878- You have resistance to all damage.
3879- When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional attack as part of that action.
3880- Your melee weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
3881
3882Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
3883
3884### Oath of Treachery
3885The Oath of Treachery is the path followed by paladins who have forsworn other oaths or who care only for their own power and survival. Commonly known as blackguards, these profane warriors are faithful only to themselves. Anyone desperate enough to follow one of these paladins does so because, while deceitful, these paladins command great power. Those who follow them without falling prey to their treachery hope to indulge in wanton violence and accumulate great treasure.
3886
3887```
3888```
3889
3890<div style='margin-top:330px'></div>
3891##### Fallen Paladins
3892Many of these paladins pay homage to demon lords, especially Grazz’t and Orcus. Even the Lords of Hell are loath to ally with these champions of chaos, but sometimes Baalzebul and Glasya find a kindred spirit in a blackguard’s penchant for double dealing and treachery.
3893
3894<div class='descriptive'>
3895
3896The Oath of Treachery is an option for the paladin who has strayed from another Sacred Oath or who has rejected the traditional paladin life. This option exists alongside the Oathbreaker in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. DMs are free to use either option to model villainous or fallen paladins.
3897
3898If you switch to this oath from another one, replace all of the previous oath’s features with the features of this one, and if you renounce this oath, replace its features with the features of the new one.</div>
3899
3900#### Tenets of Treachery
3901A paladin who embraces the Oath of Treachery owes allegiance to no one. There are no tenets of this oath, for it lacks any substance. Those who are unfortunate enough to have close contact with blackguards have observed that a blackguard’s overwhelming concern is power and safety, especially if both can be obtained at the expense of others.
3902
3903#### Oath Spells
3904You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.

3917
3918#### Channel Divinity
3919When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
3920
3921**Conjure Duplicate.** As an action, you create a visual illusion of yourself that lasts for 1 minute, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). The illusion appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you. The illusion looks exactly like you; it is silent; it is your size, is insubstantial, and doesn’t occupy its space; and it is unaffected by attacks and damage. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the illusion up to 30 feet to a space you can see, but the illusion must remain within 120 feet of you.
3922
3923For the duration, you can cast spells as though you were in the illusion’s space, but you must use your own senses. Additionally, when both you and your illusion are within 5 feet of a creature that can see the illusion, you have advantage on attack rolls against that creature, given how uncanny the illusion is.
3924
3925```
3926```
3927
3928**Poison Strike.** You can use your Channel Divinity to make a weapon deadlier. As a bonus action, you touch one weapon or piece of ammunition and conjure a special poison on it. The poison lasts for 1 minute. The next time you hit a target with an attack using that weapon or ammunition, the target takes poison damage immediately after the attack. The poison damage equals 2d10 + your paladin level, or 20 + your paladin level if you had advantage on the attack roll.
3929
3930#### Aura of Treachery
3931Starting at 7th level, you emanate an aura of discord, which gives you the following benefits.
3932
3933**Cull the Herd.** You have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that has one or more of its allies within 5 feet of it.
3934
3935**Treacherous Strike.** If a creature within 5 feet of you misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to force the attacker to reroll that attack against a creature of your choice that is also within 5 feet of the attacker. The ability fails and is wasted if the attacker is immune to being charmed.
3936
3937You can use this ability three times. You regain expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.
3938
3939#### Blackguard’s Escape
3940At 15th level, you have the ability to slip away from your foes. Immediately after you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to turn invisible and teleport up to 60 feet to a spot you can see. You remain invisible until the end of your next turn or until you attack, deal damage, or force a creature to make a saving throw. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
3941
3942#### Icon of Deceit
3943At 20th level, you gain the ability to emanate feelings of treachery. As an action, you can magically become an avatar of deceit, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:
3944- You are invisible.
3945- If a creature damages you on its turn, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to your spell save DC) or you control its next action, provided that you aren’t incapacitated when it takes the action. A creature automatically succeeds on the save if the creature is immune to being charmed.
3946- If you have advantage on an attack roll, you gain a bonus to its damage roll equal to your paladin level. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

3954
3955## Ranger Archetypes
3956At 3rd level, a ranger gains the Ranger Archetype feature. Here are new options for that feature: the Deep Stalker, the Horizon Walker and the Primeval Guardian.
3957
3958### Deep Stalker
3959Adventurers descending into the depths on desperate quests or in response to the promise of vast riches quickly come face to face with the evil that festers beneath the earth. Though many such characters are only too happy to escape back to the surface world again, rangers with the Deep Stalker archetype welcome each foray into the world below, striving to uncover and defeat the threats of the Underdark before those threats can reach the surface.
3960
3961Many Deep Stalkers are elves, as those folk know all too well the threat posed by the drow. Deep Stalkers scout for new passages into the Underdark, carefully mapping them and working to ensure they remain watched at all times. They venture into the depths on long, dangerous patrols, disappearing for months at a time. Many of them never return.
3962
3963Deep Stalkers master spells useful in navigating the Underdark, and their combat tactics focus on ambush, surprise, and stealth. They fight alone or in small groups in hostile territory, relying on clever tactics to carry the day.
3964
3965#### Underdark Scout
3966At 3rd level, you master the art of the ambush. On your first turn during combat, you gain a +10 bonus to your speed. If you use the attack action on that turn, you can make one additional attack.
3967
3968You gain an additional benefit on all turns after your first turn. At the end of each such turn, you can attempt to hide as a bonus action if you meet the normal requirements for hiding. Deep Stalkers often use this ability to make ranged attacks, move beyond the scope of their foes’ darkvision, and then hide.
3969
3970Deep Stalker Magic
3971From 3rd level, you have darkvision with a range of 90 feet. You also gain access to additional spells at 3rd, 5th, 9th, 13th, and 15th level. You are always able to cast these spells, and they do not count against your number of ranger spells known.
3972
3973##### Deep Stalker Spells
3974| Level | Spell Gained |
3975|:----:|:-------------|
3976| 3rd | *disguise self* |
3977| 5th | *rope trick* |
3978| 9th | *glyph of warding* |
3979| 13th | *greater invisibility* |
3980| 17th | *seeming* |
3981
3982#### Iron Mind
3983At 7th level, you gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.
3984
3985```
3986```
3987
3988#### Stalker’s Flurry
3989Starting at 11th level, you have the ability to ensure that your attacks count. If you miss with an attack during your turn, you can immediately make an additional attack. You can gain one additional attack during your turn with this ability.
3990
3991#### Stalker’s Dodge
3992At 15th level, you master the ability to disrupt an opponent’s attacks. If a creature attacks you and does not have advantage on the attack roll, you can use your reaction to grant it disadvantage on the attack roll. You must use this ability before you know the result of the attack.
3993
3994### Horizon Walker
3995Rangers of the Horizon Conclave guard the world against threats that originate from other planes. They seek out planar portals and keep watch over them, venturing to the outer and inner planes as needed to defeat threats.
3996
3997#### Planar Magic
3998Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Horizon Walker Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, and it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.
3999
4000##### Horizon Walker Spells
4001| Level | Spell Gained |
4002|:----:|:-------------|
4003| 3rd | *protection from evil and good* |
4004| 5th | *alter self* |
4005| 9th | *protection from energy* |
4006| 13th | *banishment* |
4007| 17th | *teleportation circle* |
4008
4009#### Planar Warrior
4010At 3rd level, you learn to draw on the energy of the planes to augment your attacks.
4011
4012As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. Until the end of this turn, your attacks against that creature ignore its
4013damage resistances, and the next time you hit it on this turn, it takes an additional 1d6 force damage.
4014
4015#### Portal Lore
4016At 3rd level, you gain the ability to detect the presence of planar portals. As an action, you detect the distance and direction to any planar portals within 1,000 feet of you. You also sense which plane of existence each portal leads to. However, if magic obscures any details of a portal, this feature doesn’t reveal them.
4017
4018Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. Alternatively, you can use the feature again if you expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher.
4019
4020See the “Planar Travel†section in chapter 2 of the *Dungeon Master’s Guide* for examples of planar portals.
4021

4023<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>SUB-CLASSES | RANGER ARCHETYPES </div>
4024
4025#### Ethereal Step
4026At 7th level, you learn to step through the Ethereal Plane. As a bonus action on your turn, you can cast the *etherealness* spell with this feature, but the spell ends at the end of the current turn. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
4027
4028#### Distant Strike
4029At 11th level, you gain the ability to step between the planes in a blink of an eye. When you use the Attack action, you can teleport up to 10 feet before each attack. You must be able to see the destination of the teleportation.
4030
4031If you attack at least two different creatures with the action, you can make one additional attack with it against a third creature.
4032
4033#### Spectral Defense
4034At 15th level, your ability to move between planes becomes even more finely tuned. As a reaction when you take damage, you can halve that damage against you. For a moment, you slip into the planar boundary to lessen the harm.
4035
4036### Primeval Guardian
4037Rangers of the Primeval Guardian Conclave follow an ancient tradition rooted in powerful druidic magic. These rangers learn to become one with nature, allowing them to channel the aspects of various beasts and plants in order to overcome their foes.
4038
4039These rangers dwell in the elder forests of the world. They venture out only rarely, as they consider it their sacred duty to protect the druidic groves and ancient trees that saw the earliest days of the world.
4040
4041#### Guardian Magic
4042Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Primeval Guardian Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, and it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.
4043
4044##### Primeval Guardian Spells
4045| Level | Spell Gained |
4046|:----:|:-------------|
4047| 3rd | *entangle* |
4048| 5th | *enhance ability* |
4049| 9th | *conjure animals* |
4050| 13th | *giant insect* |
4051| 17th | *insect plague* |
4052
4053#### Guardian Soul
4054Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to temporarily grow and take on the appearance of a treelike person, covered with leaves and bark. As a bonus action, you assume this guardian form, which lasts until you end it as a bonus action or until you are incapacitated.
4055
4056You undergo the following changes while in your guardian form:
4057- Your size becomes Large, unless you were larger.
4058- Any speed you have becomes 5 feet, unless the speed was lower.
4059- Your reach increases by 5 feet.
4060- You gain a number of temporary hit points at the start of each of your turns. The number equals half your ranger level. When the form ends, you lose any temporary hit points you have from it.
4061
4062#### Piercing Thorns
4063At 3rd level, your command of primal magic allows you to enhance your attacks with thorns. Once during each of your turns, you can deal an additional 1d6 piercing damage to one creature you hit with a weapon attack.
4064
4065#### Ancient Fortitude
4066At 7th level, you gain the endurance of the ancient forests. Your hit point maximum and current hit points increase by 2 per ranger level when you assume your guardian form. This increase lasts until you leave the form; your hit point maximum then returns to normal, but your current hit points remain the same, unless they must decrease to abide by your hit point maximum.
4067
4068#### Rooted Defense
4069At 11th level, you gain the ability to twist and turn the ground beneath you. While you are in your guardian form, the ground within 30 feet of you is difficult terrain for your enemies.
4070
4071#### Guardian Aura
4072Starting at 15th level, your guardian form emanates a magical aura that fortifies your injured allies. When any ally starts their turn within 30 feet of your guardian form, that ally regains a number of hit points equal to half your ranger level. This aura has no effect on a creature that has half or more of its hit points, and it has no effect on undead and constructs.
4073
4074<div style='margin-top:315px'></div>
4075<div class='descriptive'>
4076##### Revised Ranger
4077If you’re using the revised ranger, you can use these subclasses with it if you make one addition: give each subclass the Extra Attack feature.
4078
4079**Extra Attack.** Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

4087<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>SUB-CLASSES | ROGUISH ARCHETYPES </div>
4088
4089## Roguish Archetypes
4090At 3rd level, a rogue gains the Roguish Archetype feature. Here are new options for that feature: the Inquisitive and the Scout.
4091
4092### Inquisitive
4093As an archetypal Inquisitive, you excel at rooting out secrets and unraveling mysteries. You rely on your sharp eye for details, but also on your finely honed ability to read the words and deeds of other creatures to determine their true intent. You excel at defeating creatures that hide among and prey upon ordinary folk, and your mastery of lore and your sharp eye make you well equipped to expose and end hidden evils.
4094
4095#### Ear for Deceit
4096When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you develop a keen ear for picking out lies. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Insight) check to sense if a creature is lying, you use the total of your check or 8 + your Wisdom modifier, whichever is higher. If you are proficient in Insight, you add your proficiency bonus to the fixed result. If you chose Insight as a skill augmented by your Expertise feature, add double your proficiency bonus.
4097
4098#### Eye for Detail
4099Starting at 3rd level, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action feature to make a Wisdom (Perception) check to spot a hidden creature or object, to make an Intelligence (Investigation) check to uncover and decipher clues, or to use Insightful Fighting (see below).
4100
4101#### Insightful Fighting
4102At 3rd level, you gain the ability to decipher an opponent’s tactics and develop a counter to them. As an action (or as a bonus action using Eye for Detail), you make a Wisdom (Insight) check against a creature you can see that isn’t incapacitated, opposed by the target’s Charisma (Deception) check. If you succeed, you can use Sneak Attack against that creature even if you do not have advantage against it or if no enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it. You can use Sneak Attack in this way even if you have disadvantage against the target.
4103
4104This benefit lasts for 1 minute or until you successfully use Insightful Fighting against a different target.
4105
4106#### Steady Eye
4107At 9th level, you gain advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) check made on your turn to find a hidden creature or object if you do not move during that turn. If you use this ability before moving, you cannot move or ready movement during your turn.
4108
4109#### Unerring Eye
4110At 13th level, you gain the ability to detect magical deception. As an action, you sense the presence within 30 feet of you of illusions, shapechanger creatures not in their true form, and other magic designed to deceive the senses. Though you determine that an effect is attempting to trick you, you gain no special insight into what is hidden or its true nature.
4111
4112```
4113```
4114
4115#### Eye for Weakness
4116At 17th level, you learn to exploit a creature’s weaknesses by carefully studying its tactics and movement. While your Insightful Fighting feature applies to a creature, your Sneak Attack damage against that creature increases by 2d6.
4117
4118### Scout
4119You are skilled in woodcraft and stealth, allowing you to range ahead of your companions during expeditions. Rogues who embrace this archetype are at home in the wilderness and among barbarians and fighters, as they serve as the eyes and ears of war bands across the world. Compared to other rogues, you are skilled at surviving in the wilds.
4120
4121#### Survivalist
4122When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Nature and Survival skills. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of those proficiencies.
4123
4124#### Skirmisher
4125Starting at 3rd level, you are difficult to pin down during a fight. You can move up to half your speed as a reaction when an enemy ends its turn within 5 feet of you. This movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks.
4126
4127#### Superior Mobility
4128At 9th level, your walking speed increases by 10 feet. If you have a climbing or swimming speed, this increase applies to that speed as well.
4129
4130#### Ambush Master
4131Starting at 13th level, you excel at leading ambushes. If any of your foes are surprised, you can use a bonus action on your turn in the first round of the combat to grant each ally who can see you a +5 bonus to initiative that lasts until the combat ends. If the initiative bonus would increase an ally’s initiative above yours, the ally’s initiative instead equals your initiative.
4132
4133Each of the allies also receives a 10-foot increase to speed that lasts until the end of the ally’s next turn.
4134
4135#### Sudden Strike
4136Starting at 17th level, you can strike with deadly speed. If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional attack as a bonus action. This attack can benefit from your Sneak Attack even if you have already used it this turn, but only if the attack is the only one you make against the target this turn.

4143<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>SUB-CLASSES | ROGUISH ARCHETYPES </div>
4144
4145### Swashbuckler
4146You focus your training on the art of the blade, relying on speed, elegance, and charisma in equal parts. While other warriors are brutes clad in heavy armor, your method of fighting looks more like performance. Rakes, duelists, and pirates typically follow this archetype.
4147
4148A swashbuckler excels in single combat, and can fight with two weapons while safely darting away from an opponent. Swashbucklers are especially talented at making difficult maneuvers to escape enemies or attack from an unexpected direction.
4149
4150#### Fancy Footwork
4151Starting at 3rd level, you are a continuous blur of motion in battle as you dart in, attack, and slip away to safety. During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature cannot make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn.
4152
4153#### Toujours l’Audace
4154At 3rd level, your unmistakable confidence propels you into battle. You add your Charisma modifier to your initiative rolls.
4155
4156In addition, you can use Sneak Attack with any melee attack made against a target that has none of your allies adjacent to it.
4157
4158#### Panache
4159At 9th level, your charm becomes as sharp and dangerous as your blade. As an action, you can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by a creature’s Wisdom (Insight) check. The creature must be able to hear you, and the two of you must share a language.
4160
4161If you succeed on the check and the creature is hostile, it must target you with any attacks it makes and cannot willingly move farther away from you. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until you move more than 60 feet away from the target.
4162
4163If you succeed on the check and the creature is not hostile, it is charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed, it regards you as a friendly acquaintance.
4164
4165#### Elegant Maneuver
4166You complete difficult maneuvers with practiced ease. Starting at 13th level, you can use a bonus action to gain advantage on the next Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) check you make on your turn.
4167
4168#### Master Duelist
4169At 17th level your mastery of the blade lets you turn failure to success in combat. If you miss with an attack, you can choose to roll the attack again with advantage. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

4175##### Swashbucklers and Twoâ€Weapon Fighting
4176The swashbuckler relies on a good understanding of the D&D rules to realize its potential, specifically when it comes to fighting with two weapons. Other characters must use a bonus action to Disengage if they want to escape a melee, but a swashbuckler’s Fancy Footwork ability bundles a more limited version of Disengage within your attack. This allows you to use your bonus action to fight with two weapons, and then safely evade each foe you attacked.

4185
4186## Sorcerous Origin
4187At 1st level, a sorcerer gains the Sorcerous Origin feature. Here are new options for that feature: the Favored Soul, the Phoenix Sorcery, the Sea Sorcery, the Shadow, the Stone Sorcery and the Storm.
4188
4189### Favored Soul
4190Sometimes the spark of magic that fuels a sorcerer comes from a divine source that glimmers within the soul. Having such a favored soul, your innate magic might come from a distant but powerful familial connection to a divine being. Perhaps your ancestor was an angel, transformed into a mortal and sent to fight in a god’s name. Or your birth might align with an ancient prophecy, marking you as a servant of the gods or a chosen vessel of celestial magic.
4191
4192Favored souls, with their natural magnetism and strong personalities, are often seen as threats by traditional religious hierarchies. As outsiders who command celestial power, these sorcerers can undermine the existing order and claim a direct tie to the divine.
4193
4194In some cultures, only those who can claim the power of a favored soul may command religious power. In these lands, ecclesiastical positions are dominated by a few bloodlines and preserved over generations.
4195
4196#### Favored by the Gods
4197Starting at 1st level, divine power guards your destiny. If you fail a saving throw or miss with an attack roll, you can roll 2d4 and add it to the total, possibly changing the outcome.
4198
4199Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
4200
4201```
4202```
4203
4204#### Divine Magic
4205Your link to the divine allows you to learn spells normally associated with the cleric class. When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn a sorcerer cantrip or a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from the cleric spell list, in addition to the sorcerer spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a sorcerer spell for you.
4206
4207You also learn the cure wounds spell, which doesn’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known.
4208
4209#### Empowered Healing
4210Starting at 6th level, the celestial energy coursing through you can empower your healing magic. Whenever you roll dice to determine the number of hit points a sorcerer spell of yours restores, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll any number of those dice once.
4211
4212#### Angelic Form
4213At 14th level, your divine essence causes you to undergo a minor physical transformation. Your appearance takes on an otherworldly version of one of the following qualities (your choice): beautiful, youthful, kind, or imposing.
4214
4215In addition, as a bonus action, you can manifest a pair of spectral wings from your back. The wings last until you’re incapacitated or you dismiss them as a bonus action. While the wings are present, you have a flying speed of 30 feet.
4216
4217#### Unearthly Recovery
4218At 18th level, you gain the ability to overcome grievous injuries. As a bonus action when you have fewer than half of your hit points remaining, you can regain a number of hit points equal to half your hit point maximum.
4219
4220Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

4228
4229### Phoenix Sorcery
4230Your power draws from the immortal flame that fuels the legendary phoenix. You or your ancestors perhaps rendered a phoenix a great service, or you were born in its presence. Whatever the cause, a shard of the phoenix’s power dwells within you.
4231
4232That power is a mixed blessing. Like the mythical creature, you can invoke fiery energy and gain the ability to cheat death itself. This power comes at a cost. The fire within you seethes, demanding to be unleashed. You sometimes find yourself absentmindedly feeding fires. You can’t bear to allow a fire to sputter out. You feel most comfortable while holding a lit torch or sitting in front of a campfire.
4233
4234More importantly, this gift comes with no special protection from fire. You are as vulnerable as any other creature to fiery magic, including your own. Phoenix sorcerers can use their powers to pull themselves back from the brink of death, and all too often their own, rash nature or reliance on destructive magic is what puts them there in the first place.
4235
4236Such sorcerers are wanderers by necessity. The volatile nature of their magic makes other folk nervous. If a fire breaks out in town, a phoenix sorcerer had best flee, whether guilty or not. Fire is a dangerous force, and phoenix sorcerers have a reputation (deserved or not) for reckless behavior, confident that the essence of the phoenix can save them.
4237
4238##### Phoenix Soul Quirks
4239| d6 | Quirk |
4240|:----:|:-------------|
4241| 1 | You absentmindedly ignite small fires that quickly sputter out. |
4242| 2 | You cackle like a fiend when you unleash your fire spells. |
4243| 3 | You admire fire, even if it burns your friends. |
4244| 4 | You are covered in burns that mark the first time your power manifested. |
4245| 5 | You like your food charred. |
4246| 6 | You are brave to the point of recklessness. |
4247
4248#### Ignite
4249At 1st level, you gain the ability to start fires with a touch. As an action, you can magically ignite a flammable object you touch with your hand—an object such as a torch, a piece of tinder, or the hem of drapes.
4250
4251#### Mantle of Flame
4252Starting at 1st level, you can unleash the phoenix fire that blazes within you.
4253
4254As a bonus action, you magically wreathe yourself in swirling fire, as your eyes glow like hot coals. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:
4255- You shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet.
4256- Any creature takes fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier if it hits you with a melee attack from within 5 feet of you or if it touches you.
4257- Whenever you roll fire damage on your turn, the roll gains a bonus to equal to your Charisma modifier.
4258
4259Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
4260
4261#### Phoenix Spark
4262Starting at 6th level, the fiery energy within you grows restless and vengeful. In the face of defeat, it surges outward to preserve you in a fiery roar.
4263
4264If you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to draw on the spark of the phoenix. You are instead reduced to 1 hit point, and each creature within 10 feet of you takes fire damage equal to half your sorcerer level + your Charisma modifier.
4265
4266If you use this feature while under the effects of your Mantle of Flame, this feature instead deals fire damage equal to your sorcerer level + double your Charisma modifier, and your Mantle of Flame immediately ends.
4267
4268Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
4269
4270#### Nourishing Fire
4271Starting at 14th level, your fire spells soothe and restore you. When you expend a spell slot to cast a spell that includes a fire damage roll, you regain hit points equal to the slot’s level + your Charisma modifier.
4272
4273#### Form of the Phoenix
4274At 18th level, you finally master the spark of fire that dances within you. While under the effect of your Mantle of Flame feature, you gain additional benefits:
4275
4276- You have a flying speed of 40 feet and can hover.
4277- You have resistance to all damage.
4278- If you use your Phoenix Spark, that feature deals an extra 20 fire damage to each creature.

4286
4287### Sea Sorcery
4288The power of water is the strength of flexibility, resilience, and a relentless nature. Water parts to allow a ship to sail over it or a diver to plunge into it, but their passing leaves no mark. Water flowing down a mountain reaches the sea. It might bend and turn across valleys and down hillsides, but it slowly and steadily returns to the waves. Those whose souls are touched by the power of elemental water command a similar power.
4289
4290Your heritage ties to powerful creatures of the sea, such as nereids, the lords of the merfolk, and elemental powers. Like a river, you feel the call of the ocean. The call is ever present in your heart, and you are never completely at peace until you are near the sea.
4291
4292```
4293```
4294
4295#### Soul of the Sea
4296At 1st level, your tie to the sea grants you the ability to breathe underwater, and you have a swim speed equal to your walking speed.
4297
4298#### Curse of the Sea
4299When you choose this origin at 1st level, you learn the secret of infusing your spells with a watery curse.
4300
4301When you hit a creature with a cantrip’s attack or when a creature fails a saving throw against your cantrip, you can curse the target until the end of your next turn or until you curse a different creature with this feature.
4302
4303Once per turn when you cast a spell, you can trigger the curse if that spell deals cold or lightning damage to the cursed target or forces it to move. Doing so subjects the target to the appropriate additional effect below, and then the curse ends if the spell isn’t a cantrip (you choose the effect to use if more than one effect applies):
4304___
4305- **Cold Damage.** If the affected target takes cold damage from your spell, the target’s speed is also reduced by 15 feet until the end of your next turn. If the spell already reduces the target’s speed, use whichever reduction is greater.
4306- **Lightning Damage.** If the affected target takes lightning damage from your spell, the target takes additional lightning damage equal to your Charisma modifier.
4307- **Forced Movement.** If the target is moved by your spell, increase the distance it is moved by 15 feet.
4308
4309#### Watery Defense
4310At 6th level, you gain resistance to fire damage.
4311
4312You also gain the ability to defend yourself by momentarily assuming a watery form. As a reaction when you are hit by an attack and take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from it, you can reduce that damage by an amount equal to your sorcerer level plus your Charisma score, and then you can move up to 30 feet without provoking opportunity attacks. Once you use this special reaction, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
4313
4314#### Shifting Form
4315Starting at 14th level, you gain the ability to enter a liquid state while moving.
4316
4317When you move on your turn, you take only half damage from opportunity attacks, and you can move through any enemy’s space but can’t willingly end your move there.
4318
4319On your turn, you can move through any space that is at least 3 inches in diameter and do so without squeezing. When you stop moving, the regular squeezing rules apply if you’re in a space one size smaller than you. You can’t willingly stop in a space smaller than that, and if you’re forced to do so, you immediately flow to the nearest space that can fit you, back along the path of your movement.
4320
4321#### Water Soul
4322Starting at 18th level, your being is altered by the power of the sea. You gain the following benefits:
4323- You no longer need to eat, drink, or sleep.
4324- A critical hit against you becomes a normal hit.
4325- You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

4333
4334### Shadow
4335Your innate magic comes from the Shadowfell. You might trace your lineage to an entity from that place, or perhaps you were exposed to its fell energy and transformed in some fundamental manner.
4336
4337The power of shadow magic casts a strange pall over your physical presence. The spark of life that sustains you is muffled, as if it struggles to remain viable against the dark energy that imbues your soul. At your option, you can pick from or roll on the following table to create a unique quirk for your character.
4338
4339##### Shadow Sorcerer Quirks
4340| d6 | Quirk |
4341|:----:|:-------------|
4342| 1 | You are always icy cold to the touch |
4343| 2 | When you are asleep, you don’t appear to breathe (though you must still breathe to survive). |
4344| 3 | You don’t seem to bleed, even when badly injured. |
4345| 4 | Your heart beats once per minute. This event sometimes surprises you. |
4346| 5 | You have trouble remembering that living creatures and corpses should be treated differently. |
4347| 6 | You blinked. Once. Last week. |
4348
4349#### Eyes of the Dark
4350From 1st level, you have darkvision with a range of 60 feet. You can cast *darkness* by spending 1 sorcery point. You can see through any *darkness* spell you cast using this ability.
4351
4352#### Strength of the Grave
4353Starting at 1st level, your existence in a twilight state between life and death makes you difficult to defeat. Whenever damage reduces you to 0 hit points, you can make a Constitution saving throw (DC 5 + the damage taken). On a success, you instead drop to 1 hit point. You cannot use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit points by radiant damage or by a critical hit.
4354
4355#### Hound of Ill Omen
4356At 6th level, you gain the ability to call forth a howling creature of darkness to harass your foes. As a bonus action, you can spend 3 sorcery points to summon a hound of ill omen to target one creature you can see. The hound uses a dire wolf’s statistics with the following changes:
4357- The hound is size Medium.
4358- It can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. The hound takes 5 force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
4359- At the start of its turn, the hound automatically knows its target’s location. If the target was hidden, it is no longer hidden from the hound.
4360
4361The hound appears in an unoccupied space of your choice within 30 feet of the target. Roll initiative for the hound. On its turn, it can move only toward its target by the most direct route, and it can use its action only to attack its target. The hound makes opportunity attacks, but only against its target. Additionally, the target has disadvantage on all saving throws against your spells while the hound is within 5 feet of it. The hound disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points, if its target is reduced to 0 hit points, or after 5 minutes.
4362
4363#### Shadow Walk
4364At 14th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action, you can teleport up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness.
4365
4366#### Shadow Form
4367At 18th level, you can spend 3 sorcery points to transform yourself into a shadow form as a bonus action. In this form, you have resistance to all damage except force damage, and you can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. You take 5 force damage if you end your turn inside an object. You remain in this form for 1 minute.

4381
4382### Stone Sorcery
4383Your magic springs from a mystical link between your soul and the magic of elemental earth. You might trace a distant ancestor to the Plane of Earth, or your family might have earned a mighty boon in return for a service to the dao lords. Whatever your past, the magic of elemental earth is yours to command.
4384
4385Your link to earth magic grants you extraordinary resilience, and stone sorcerers have a natural affinity for combat. A steel blade feels like a natural extension of your body, and sorcerers with this origin have a knack for wielding both shields and weapons. In combat your place is amid the fray. You rely on your elemental nature to shield you from harm and your magic and metal weapons to overwhelm your foes.
4386
4387#### Bonus Proficiencies
4388At 1st level, you gain proficiency with shields, simple weapons, and martial weapons.
4389
4390#### Metal Magic
4391Your affinity for metal gives you the option to learn some non-sorcerer spells that focus on weapon attacks. When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you can select the spell from the following list of spells, in addition to the sorcerer spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a sorcerer spell for you.
4392
4393| Spell level | Spell |
4394|:----:|:-------------|
4395|1st| *compelled duel*
4396|1st| *searing smite*
4397|1st| *thunderous smite*
4398|1st| *wrathful smite*
4399|2nd| *branding smite*
4400|2nd| *magic weapon*
4401|3rd| *blinding smite*
4402|3rd| *elemental weapon*
4403|4th| *staggering smite*
4404
4405#### Stone’s Durability
4406At 1st level, your connection to stone gives you extra fortitude. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.
4407
4408As an action, you can gain a base AC of 13 + your Constitution modifier if you aren’t wearing armor, and your skin assumes a stony appearance. This effect lasts until you end it as a bonus action, you are incapacitated, or you don armor other than a shield.
4409
4410```
4411```
4412
4413<div style='margin-top:440px'></div>
4414#### Stone Aegis
4415Starting at 6th level, your command of earth magic grows stronger, allowing you to harness it for your allies’ protection.
4416
4417As a bonus action, you can grant an aegis to one allied creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The aegis is a dim, gray aura of earth magic that protects the target. Any bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage the target takes is reduced by 2 + your sorcerer level divided by 4. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until you use it again, or until you are incapacitated.
4418
4419In addition, when a creature you can see within 60 feet of you hits the protected target with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 5 feet of the attacker. You can teleport only if you and the attacker are on the same surface. You can then make one melee weapon attack against the attacker. If that attack hits, it deals an extra 1d10 force damage. This extra damage increases to 2d10 at 11th level and 3d10 at 17th level.
4420
4421#### Stone’s Edge
4422Starting at 14th level, your mastery of earth magic allows you to add the force of elemental earth to your spells. When you cast a spell that deals damage, choose one creature damaged by that spell on the round you cast it. That creature takes extra force damage equal to half your sorcerer level. This feature can be used only once per casting of a spell.
4423
4424#### Earth Master’s Aegis
4425Beginning at 18th level, when you use your Stone’s Aegis to protect an ally, you can choose up to three creatures to gain its benefits.
4426
4427\page
4428<div class='pageNumber auto'></div><div class='footnote'>SUB-CLASSES | SORCEROUS ORIGINS </div>
4429
4430### Storm
4431Your innate magic comes from the power of elemental air. Perhaps you were born during a howling gale so powerful that folk still tell stories of it. Your lineage might include the influence of potent air creatures such as vaati or djinni. Whatever the case, the magic of the storm permeates your soul.
4432
4433Storm sorcerers are invaluable members of a ship’s crew. Their magic allows them to exert control over wind and weather in their immediate area. Their abilities also prove useful in repelling attacks by sahuagin, pirates, and other waterborne threats.
4434
4435#### Stormborn
4436The arcane magic you command is infused with elemental air. You can speak, read, and write Primordial. In addition, you gain the following spells at the listed sorcerer level. These spells do not count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.
4437
4438##### Storm Sorcerer Bonus Spells
4439| Sorcerer Level | Spells |
4440|:----:|:-------------|
4441|1st| *Fog cloud*, *thunderwave*
4442|3rd| *Gust of wind*, *levitate*
4443|5th| *Call lightning*, *sleet storm*
4444|7th| *Conjure minor elementals*, *ice storm*
4445|9th| *Conjure elemental*
4446
4447- Unless you gain the spell *conjure minor elementals* from another source, you
4448can summon only smoke mephits, steam mephits, ice
4449mephits, or dust mephits with it.
4450- Unless you gain the spell *conjure elemental* from another source, you
4451can summon only air elementals with it.
4452
4453#### Tempestuous Magic
4454At 1st level, you are attuned to elemental air magic. Whenever you cast a spell other than a cantrip during your turn, whirling gusts of elemental air surround you. You can use a bonus action to fly 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.
4455
4456#### Heart of the Storm
4457At 6th level, you gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. Whenever you cast a spell other than a cantrip that deals lightning or thunder damage, a stormy aura surrounds you. In addition to the spell’s effects, creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you take lightning or thunder damage (choose each time this ability activates) equal to half your sorcerer level.
4458
4459#### Storm Guide
4460At 6th level, you gain the ability to subtly control the weather around you.
4461
4462If it is raining, you can use an action to cause the rain to stop falling in a 20â€foot radius centered on you. You can end this effect as a bonus action.
4463
4464If it is windy, you can use a bonus action each round to choose the direction that the wind blows in a 100â€foot radius around you. The wind blows in that direction until the end of your next turn. You have no ability to alter the speed of the wind.
4465
4466#### Storm’s Fury
4467At 14th level, the storm energy you channel through your magic seethes within your soul. When you are hit by a melee attack, you can use your reaction to deal lightning damage to the attacker equal to your sorcerer level. The attacker must also make a Strength saving throw, with a DC equal to 8 + your Charisma bonus + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, the attacker is pushed in a straight line 20 feet away from you.
4468
4469#### Wind Soul
4470At 18th level, you gain a flying speed of 60 feet and immunity to lightning and thunder damage.
4471
4472As an action, you can reduce your flying speed to 30 feet for one hour and choose a number of creatures within 30 feet of you equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. The chosen creatures gain a flying speed of 30 feet for 1 hour.

4494## Warlock Otherworldly Patron
4495At 1st level, a warlock gains the Otherworldly Patron feature. Here are new options for that feature: the Hexblade, the Raven Queen, the Seeker and the Undying Light.
4496
4497### The Hexblade
4498You have made your pact with a powerful, sentient magic weapon carved from the stuff of the Shadowfell. The mighty sword Blackrazor is the most notable of these weapons, several of which have spread across the multiverse over the ages. These weapons grow stronger as they consume the life essence of their victims. The strongest of them can use their ties to the Shadowfell to offer power to mortals who serve them. The Raven Queen forged the first of these weapons. They, along with the hexblade warlocks, are another tool she can use to manipulate events in the Material Plane to her inscrutable ends.

4500#### Expanded Spell List
4501The Hexblade lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
4502
4503##### Hexblade Expanded Spells
4504| Spell Level | Spells |
4505|:----:|:-------------|
4506| 1st | *shield*, *wrathful smite*
4507| 2nd | *branding smite*, *magic weapon*
4508| 3rd | *blink*, *elemental weapon*
4509| 4th | *phantasmal killer*, *staggering smite*
4510| 5th | *cone of cold*, *destructive wave*
4511
4512#### Hex Warrior
4513At 1st level, you gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. In addition, when attacking with a melee weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls.
4514
4515#### Hexblade’s Curse
4516Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to place a baleful curse on an enemy. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1 minute. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:
4517- You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
4518
4519```
4520```
4521
4522<div style='margin-top:380px'></div>
4523- Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
4524- If the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier.
4525
4526You can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
4527
4528#### Shadow Hound
4529Starting at 6th level, your shadow can split from you and transform into a hound of pure darkness. Most of the time, your shadow hound masquerades as your normal shadow. As a bonus action, you can command it to magically slip into the shadow of a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. While the shadow hound is merged in this manner, the target can’t gain the benefits of half cover or three-quarters cover against your attack rolls, and you know the distance and direction to the target even if it is hidden. The hound can’t be seen by anyone but you and those with truesight, and it is unaffected by light. The target has a vague feeling of dread while the hound is present.
4530
4531As a bonus action, you can command your shadow hound to return to you. It also automatically returns to you if you and the target are on different planes of existence, if you’re incapacitated, or if *dispel magic*, *remove curse*, or similar magic is used on the target.
4532
4533#### Armor of Hexes
4534At 10th level, your hex grows more powerful. If the target cursed by your Hexblade’s Curse hits you with an attack roll, roll a d6. On a 4 or higher, the attack instead misses you.
4535
4536#### Master of Hexes
4537Starting at 14th level, you can use your Hexblade’s Curse again without resting, but when you apply it to a new target, the curse immediately ends on the previous target.

4542### The Raven Queen
4543You patron is the Raven Queen, a mysterious being who rules the Shadowfell from a palace of ice deep within that dread realm. The Raven Queen watches over the world, anticipating each creature’s death and ensuring that it meets its end at the proscribed time and place. As the ruler of the Shadowfell, she dwells in a decayed, dark reflection of the world. Her ability to reach into the world is limited. Thus, she turns to mortal warlocks to serve her will. Warlocks sworn to the Raven Queen receive visions and whispers from her in their dreams, sending them on quests and warning them of impending dangers.
4544
4545The Raven Queen’s followers are expected to serve her will in the world. She concerns herself with ensuring that those fated to die pass from the world as expected, and bids her agents to defeat those who seek to cheat death through undeath or other imitations of immortality. She hates intelligent undead and expects her followers to strike them down, whereas mindless undead such as skeletons and zombies are little more than stumbling automatons in her eyes.

4550#### Expanded Spell List
4551The Raven Queen lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
4552
4553##### Raven Queen Expanded Spells
4554| Spell Level | Spells
4555|:----:|:-------------|
4556| 1st | *false life*, *sanctuary*
4557| 2nd | *silence*, *spiritual weapon*
4558| 3rd | *feign death*, *speak with dead*
4559| 4th | *ice storm*, *locate creature*
4560| 5th | *commune*, *cone of cold*
4561
4562#### Sentinel Raven
4563Starting at 1st level, you gain the service of a spirit sent by the Raven Queen to watch over you. The spirit assumes the form and game statistics of a raven, and it always obeys your commands, which you can give telepathically while it is within 100 feet of you.
4564
4565While the raven is perched on your shoulder, you gain darkvision with a range of 30 feet and a bonus to your passive Wisdom (Perception) score and to Wisdom (Perception) checks. The bonus equals your Charisma modifier. While perched on your shoulder, the raven can’t be targeted by any attack or other harmful effect; only you can cast spells on it; it can’t take damage; and it is incapacitated.
4566
4567You can see through the raven’s eyes and hear what it hears while it is within 100 feet of you.
4568
4569In combat, you roll initiative for the raven and control how it acts. If it is slain by a creature, you gain advantage on all attack rolls against the killer for the next 24 hours.
4570
4571The raven doesn’t require sleep. While it is within 100 feet of you, it can awaken you from sleep as a bonus action.
4572
4573The raven vanishes when it dies, if you die, or if the two of you are separated by more than 5 miles.
4574
4575At the end of a short or long rest, you can call the raven back to you—no matter where it is or whether it died—and it reappears within 5 feet of you.
4576
4577#### Soul of the Raven
4578At 6th level, you gain the ability to merge with your raven spirit. As a bonus action when your raven is perched on your shoulder, your body merges with your raven’s form. While merged, you become Tiny, you replace your speed with the raven’s, and you can use your action only to Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, Hide, or Search. During this time, you gain the benefits of your raven being perched on your shoulder. As an action, you and the raven return to normal.
4579
4580#### Raven’s Shield
4581At 10th level, the Raven Queen grants you a protective blessing. You gain advantage on death saving throws, immunity to the frightened condition, and resistance to necrotic damage.
4582
4583#### Queen’s Right Hand
4584Starting at 14th level, you can channel the Raven Queen’s power to slay a creature. You can cast finger of death. After you cast the spell with this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

4592
4593### The Seeker
4594Your patron is an inscrutable being who travels the Astral Plane in search of knowledge and secrets. In return for your patron’s gifts, you wander the world seeking lore that you can share with the Seeker.
4595
4596Your patron could be any deity or other powerful entity dedicated to knowledge or forgotten lore. Celestian is an ideal patron for a Greyhawk campaign, and was the inspiration for this concept. In the Forgotten Realms, your patron might be Azuth or Oghma. Aureon makes an excellent patron in Eberron, while in Krynn and the Dragonlance campaign setting, Gilean is a good match for the Seeker’s role.
4597
4598#### Expanded Spell List
4599The Seeker lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
4600
4601##### Seeker Expanded Spells
4602| Spell Level | Spell |
4603|:----:|:-------------|
4604| 1st | *feather fall, jump* |
4605| 2nd | *levitate, locate object* |
4606| 3rd | *clairvoyance, sending* |
4607| 4th | *arcane eye, locate creature* |
4608| 5th | *legend lore, passwall* |
4609
4610#### Shielding Aurora
4611Starting at 1st level, you can invoke the Seeker’s power to
4612protect you from harm. As a bonus action, you create a
4613whirling aurora of brilliant energy that swirls around you.
4614Until the end of your next turn, you gain resistance to all
4615damage, and if a hostile creature ends its turn within 10 feet
4616of you, it takes radiant damage equal to your warlock level +
4617your Charisma modifier.
4618Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
4619finish a short or long rest.
4620
4621#### Pact Boon: Pact of the Star Chain
4622At 3rd level, a character dedicated to the Seeker can select this option instead of one of the warlock’s existing Pact Boon options.
4623
4624The Seeker grants you a chain forged from starlight, decorated with seven gleaming motes of brightness. While the chain is on your person, you know the augury spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn’t count against your number of spells known.
4625
4626Additionally, you can invoke the Seeker’s power to gain advantage on an Intelligence check while you carry this item. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
4627
4628If you lose your Star Chain, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from the Seeker. The ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous chain. The chain disappears in a flash of light when you die.
4629
4630The exact form of this item might be different depending on your patron. The Star Chain is inspired by the Greyhawk deity Celestian.
4631
4632```
4633```
4634
4635#### Astral Refuge
4636At 6th level, you gain the ability to step into an astral refuge. As an action, you disappear from the world for a brief moment and enter the Astral Plane, taking advantage of its timeless nature. While in your astral refuge, you can take two actions to cast spells that target only you. After using those two actions, you return to the space you occupied and your turn ends.
4637
4638#### Far Wanderer
4639At 10th level, you no longer need to breathe, and you gain resistance to fire damage and cold damage.
4640
4641#### Astral Sequestration
4642Starting at 14th level, you gain the ability to sequester yourself and your allies on the Astral Plane.
4643
4644By performing a special ritual over the course of 5 minutes, you shift yourself and up to ten willing creatures you can see to the Astral Plane. You and those creatures gain the benefits of a short rest while sequestered on the Astral Plane. You then return to the spaces you all occupied when you used this ability, with no time having passed in the world.
4645
4646During this short rest, you and the creatures you sequester can make use of any options available during a rest that affect only you and the creatures you sequester.
4647
4648Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

4662### The Undying Light
4663Your patron is not a specific entity, but the energy that radiates from the Positive Plane. Your pact allows you to experience the barest touch of the raw stuff of life that powers the multiverse. Anything more, and you would be instantly incinerated by its energy.
4664
4665Contact with the Positive Plane causes subtle changes to your behavior and beliefs. You are driven to bring light to dark places, to annihilate undead creatures, and to protect all living things. At the same time, you crave the light and find total darkness a suffocating experience akin to drowning. As an optional way to add more flavor to your character, you can pick from or roll on the following table of flaws associated with warlocks of the Undying Light.
4666
4667##### Undying Light Flaws
4668| d6 | Flaw |
4669|:----:|:-------------|
4670| 1 | You are afraid of the dark, and must always have a light source at hand. |
4671| 2 | You have a nervous compulsion to keep a bright light in even the barest shadow. |
4672| 3 | You have a compulsion to enter and illuminate dark areas. |
4673| 4 | You have an overwhelming hatred of undead creatures. |
4674| 5 | You fidget and are irritable when you can’t see the sun. |
4675| 6 | In a dark area, you always carry a lit torch or lantern. Putting it down is an unbearable thought. |
4676
4677#### Expanded Spell List
4678The Undying Light lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
4679
4680##### Undying Light Expanded Spells
4681| Spell Level | Spell |
4682|:----:|:-------------|
4683| 1st | *burning hands* |
4684| 2nd | *flaming sphere* |
4685| 3rd | *daylight* |
4686| 4th | *fire shield* |
4687| 5th | *flamestrike* |
4688
4689```
4690```
4691
4692<div style='margin-top:265px'></div>
4693#### Radiant Soul
4694Starting at 1st level, your link to the Positive Plane allows you to serve as a conduit for radiant energy. You have resistance
4695to radiant damage, and when you cast a spell that deals radiant damage or fire damage, you add your Charisma modifier to that damage. Additionally, you know the sacred flame and light cantrips and can cast them at will. They don’t count against your number of cantrips known.
4696
4697#### Searing Vengeance
4698Starting at 6th level, the radiant energy you channel allows you to overcome grievous injuries. When you would make a death saving throw, you can instead spring back to your feet with a burst of radiant energy. You immediately stand up (if you so choose), and you regain hit points equal to half your hit point maximum. All hostile creatures within 30 feet of you take 10 + your Charisma modifier radiant damage and are blinded until the end of your turn.
4699
4700Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
4701
4702#### Radiant Resilience
4703Starting at 10th level, you gain temporary hit points whenever you finish a long or short rest. These temporary hit points equal your warlock level + your Charisma modifier. Additionally, choose up to five creatures you can see at the end of your rest. Those creatures gain temporary hit points equal to half your warlock level + your Charisma modifier.
4704
4705#### Healing Light
4706At 14th level, you gain the ability to channel the Undying Light to heal yourself and other creatures. As a bonus action, you can touch a creature and heal it. With each touch, a creature regains from 1d6 to 5d6 hit points (your choice). You have a total pool of 15d6 you can expend. Subtract the dice you use with each touch from that total. You regain all expended dice from your pool when you finish a long rest.

4711## Eldritch Invocations
4712At 2nd level, a warlock gains the Eldritch Invocations feature. Here are new playtest options for that feature.
4713
4714Many of these new invocations are tied to a patron, allowing you to strengthen the bond between your warlock and an otherworldly patron.

4729*Prerequisite: The Great Old One patron*
4730
4731The purple star Caiphon is the doom of inexperienced mariners. Those who use its deceptive light to guide their travels invariably come to ruin. You gain proficiency in the Deception and Stealth skills, and you have advantage on attack rolls against charmed creatures.

4733#### Chilling Hex
4734*Prerequisite: The Hexblade patron*
4735
4736As a bonus action, you cause frost to swirl around a target cursed by your Hexblade’s Curse, dealing cold damage to each of your enemies within 5 feet of the target. The cold damage equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).

4739*Prerequisite: Raven Queen patron, Pact of the Tome feature*

4747
4748```
4749```
4750
4751#### Cloak of Baalzebul
4752*Prerequisite: The Fiend patron*
4753
4754As a bonus action, you can conjure a swarm of buzzing flies around you. The swarm grants you advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks but disadvantage on all other Charisma checks. In addition, a creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of you takes poison damage equal to your Charisma modifier. You can dismiss the swarm with another bonus action.
4755
4756#### Curse Bringer
4757*Prerequisite: The Hexblade patron, Pact of the Blade feature*
4758
4759You can create a greatsword forged from silver, with black runes etched into its blade, using your Pact of the Blade feature. If you reduce a target cursed by your Hexblade’s Curse to 0 hit points with this sword, you can immediately change the target of the curse to a different creature. This change doesn’t extend the curse’s duration. When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can expend a spell slot to deal an additional 2d8 slashing damage to the target per spell level, and you can reduce the creature’s speed to 0 feet until the end of your next turn.
4760

4768

4770
4771#### Gaze of Khirad
4772*Prerequisite: 7th level, the Great Old One patron*
4773
4774You gain the piercing gaze of the blue star Khirad. As an action, you can see through solid objects to a range of 30 feet until the end of the current turn. During that time, you perceive objects as ghostly, transparent images.
4775
4776#### Grasp of Hadar
4777*Prerequisite: The Great Old One patron, eldritch blast cantrip*

4793
4794#### Mace of Dispater
4795*Prerequisite: The Fiend patron, Pact of the Blade feature*
4796
4797When you create your pact weapon as a mace, it manifests as an iron mace forged in Dis, the second of the Nine Hells. When you hit a creature with it, you can expend a spell slot to deal an additional 2d8 force damage to the target per spell level, and you can knock the target prone if it is Huge or smaller.
4798
4799#### Moon Bow
4800*Prerequisite: The Archfey patron, Pact of the Blade feature*
4801
4802You can create a longbow using your Pact of the Blade feature. When you draw back its string and fire, it creates an arrow of white wood, which vanishes after 1 minute. You have advantage on attack rolls against lycanthropes with the bow. When you hit a creature with it, you can expend a spell slot to deal an additional 2d8 radiant damage to the target per spell level.
4803
4804#### Path of the Seeker
4805*Prerequisite: The Seeker patron*
4806
4807The Seeker bids you to travel in search of knowledge, and little can prevent you from waling this path. You ignore difficult terrain, have advantage on all checks to escape a grapple, manacles, or rope bindings, and advantage on saving throws against being paralyzed.

4824
4825The Sea Twins rule seas in the Feywild. Their gift allows you to travel through water with ease. You can breathe underwater, and you gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed. You can also cast water breathing using a warlock spell slot.

4827Once you cast it using this invocation, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
4828
4829#### Seeker’s Speech
4830*Prerequisite: The Seeker patron*
4831

4837The blue-white star Ulban maintains a fickle presence among the stars, fluttering into view only to herald a dire omen. As an action, you can turn invisible for 1 minute. If you attack, deal damage, or force a creature to make a saving throw, you become visible at the end of the current turn.
4838
4839#### Superior Pact Weapon
4840*Prerequisite: 9th level, Pact of the Blade feature*

4844*Prerequisite: The Fiend patron*
4845
4846As a reaction when you take damage, you can entomb yourself in ice, which melts away at the end of your next turn. You gain 10 temporary hit points per warlock level, which take as much of the triggering damage as possible. You also gain vulnerability to fire damage, your speed drops to 0, and you are incapacitated. All of these effects end when the ice melts.
4847
4848Once you use this invocation, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
4849
4850#### Ultimate Pact Weapon
