Introduction

These new classes hope to offer unique play styles and flavors to games that offer them. They are all full and playable classes. The change log for all of them is at the end of their class description.

There are several classes that are blatantly based off of a certain franchise, such as the Disciple, which is a support class based off of the different covenants of light in the Dark Souls video game trilogy. There will be a note at the beginning of every class description about where inspiration was taken, so that the flavor text does not get confusing.

I also have linked these classes into themed "sets", pairing them based on their general flavor and utility. You will notice that all these classes imply they are rare and non existent in some game worlds, so check with your DM if they would allow you to play one of these classes.

The Artifact

Class Features

As a artifact, you gain the following class features

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Artifact table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these artifact spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of artifact spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the artifact spell list. When you do so, choose a number of artifact spells equal to your Charisma modifier + your artifact level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level artifact, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell runic counter, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of artifact spells requires time spent recalibrating yourself and the runes along your body: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your artifact spells. Your magic comes from your innate ability to manipulate your own runes and enchantments. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an artifact spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your artifact spells.

Natural Weapon

You are able to alter your body using runic enchantment, changing yourself into part weapon form . You gain the following benefits while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield:

• You may use an action to grow natural weapons, such as small blades or spikes, from your limbs for 1 minute, in a state referred to as your Natural Weapon Form. This form changes your Unarmed Strike damage type to either bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage and increases its damage dice to 1d4. You may use a bonus action to dismiss this form early. It also ends early if you are ever incapacitated. The Natural Weapon damage dice increases at certain levels, as shown on the Natural Weapon damage table. You lose your Natural Weapon Form if you don a shield or any armor.
• While you have your Natural Weapon form and you make an attack with a weapon you have chosen as one of your Weapon Shapes or with your Unarmed Strike, you may use your Charisma modifier for attack and damage rolls, instead of your Strength modifier.
• Once per turn, whenever you successfully shove or grapple a creature while you are in your Natural Weapon Form, you can also choose to deal your Natural Weapon's damage to them.

Unarmored Defense

Your body is resilient, as if forged of metal. While you are not wearing armor, wielding a shield, or wielding a weapon you are not proficient with, your Armor Class is 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

Weapon Shape

At 2nd level, you can shape your own body into a new form called your Weapon Shape. You learn up to three weapons of your choice that you can transform into, and you are proficient with them if you are not already. You learn new weapon shapes as you gain levels in the Artifact class, as shown on the Weapon Shapes Known table. You must have seen and become somewhat familiar with a weapon to learn it as a Weapon Shape. As a bonus action, you may twist and form yourself into this form, taking on one weapon whose Weapon Shape you know.

When you take on a Weapon Shape, you turn fully into your chosen weapon, with all your equipment melding into your new form as you transform. If the weapon you transform into requires ammunition, you magically create spectral ammunition when used for an attack, which disappear after making their attack or when you transform back. As part of this bonus action, you must designate one willing creature within 30 feet of you and bond yourself to them. You then teleport to that creature’s hand, and they may wield you as a weapon if they wish. You are considered a Construct in this form.

When a bonded creature deals deal damage using your Weapon Shape, they deal either your weapon’s normal damage or your Natural Weapon damage, whichever is higher. A bonded creature is always considered proficient with your weapon shape, and may use either your bonus to hit and damage for weapon attacks made with your Weapon Shape or their normal weapon attack bonus, whichever is higher. While in your Weapon Shape, you have the following modifications:

• You have a movement speed of 0 in this form, but can always use your bonus action to teleport up to 30 feet if you would end your turn within 5 feet of your bonded ally.
• On your turn while you are in this form, you can communicate telepathically to your bonded ally when you are within 30 feet of them, but cannot otherwise communicate outside of using magic. You always know the location and direction of your bonded ally.

Artifact Form

You gain insight into what form your Artifact truly takes. Choose one of three Artifact forms- the Catalyst, the Hex, or the Aegis.

Depending on your choice of Artifact Form, you gain extra spells based on your choice at certain levels, which you always have prepared and which do not count against your total prepared spells. You also gain a new way to use your Weapon Shape.

Your choice of Artifact Form also grants you additional features at levels 6, 10, 14, and 18.

Soul Eater

At 3rd level, you have become adept at siphoning the life force of others. Whenever you reduce a hostile creature within 30 feet of you to 0 hit points, you can choose to recover hit points equal to your Natural Weapon dice.

You can use this ability once per round, recovering your use of it at the beginning of each of your turns. If you are bonded with an ally, you can choose to give any number of those hit points to either yourself or that ally, after you have rolled the dice.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score o f 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.

Magic Weapon

At 5th level, attacks with your Natural Weapon Form and your Weapon Shape are considered magical for the purposes of overcoming damage resistances and immunity.

Witch Hunter

At 14th level, whenever your bonded ally deals damage to a creature with your Weapon Shape, you may use your reaction to immediately end the Weapon Shape and cause a burst of runic energy to crash down on them. If the creature can cast spells with spell slots, such as by using the Spellcasting or Pact Magic features, they must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be effected by the shock, taking 2d6 force damage plus an additional 1d6 of force damage for every level of spell slot they had remaining, to a maximum number of d6s equal to your Artifact level. They still take half as much damage on a failed save.

If the target cannot cast spells using spell slots, this ability fails.

Once you successfully use this ability against a creature, you cannot use it and you cannot you use your Weapon Shape feature again until you complete a long rest.

Reaper

At level 20, you have perfected your capabilities to become one of Death’s personal weapons. Whenever you deal damage to a creature using a Natural Weapon or Weapon Shape attack, and that creature’s hit points are lower than 20 or their total number of hit dice, whichever is higher, than that creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be immediately reduced to 0 hit points.

Additionally, whenever you recover hit points from your Soul Eater feature, you can also choose to recover one expended spell slot that is of 5th level or lower.

Once you have recovered a spell slot using feature, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

Artifact Forms

Not every Artifact is the same, and each comes with a different form that determines how they use their runic magic. This form is their true state, and they can release a particularly powerful set of unique abilities using them.

There are three forms to choose from- the Catalyst, the Hex, and the Aegis, although there are assumed to be other forms as well. Each has an alternative "Shape" ability than the weapons you can normally take the form of, and each provides a unique number of abilities.

Compelled Strike

At 6th level, when a creature within 30 feet of you makes a weapon attack as part of an action, you can use your reaction to redirect all the attacks towards another creature you can see within that attack's range. The creature must succeed on a Charisma Saving Throw or be forced to make all their attacks on that turn against that creature.

A bonded ally you have bonded to using your Cursed Shape has disadvantage on this saving throw.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, recovering all expended uses after completing a long rest.

Switch Ally

At 10th level, you can easily switch between bonded allies. When your bonded ally falls to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to bond yourself to another ally within 30 feet of you instead of falling out of your Weapon Shape. If you are not in your Cursed Shape, this new ally must be willing as normal or the ability fails.

Domination

At 18th level, your commanding abilities can surpass most defenses. A creature who is immune to the charmed and frightened conditions are not immune to any charmed or frightened conditions caused by an Artifact spell you cast.

The Aegis

Some Artifacts were created for the purpose of protection, and these objects often were created by holy or noble orders to protect their charges and knights. They often take the form of helms, shields, cloaks, holy symbols, and other pieces of armor.

Aegis Form Artifacts can protect their allies in battle with their unique deflective abilities, and are much more resilient than other Artifacts.

Regeneration

At 18th level, while you are concentrating on an Artifact spell, you recover your injuries slowly. If do not have all your hit points at the beginning of your turn while you are concentrating on an Artifact spell, you recover hit points equal to your Natural Weapon dice + your Charisma modifier.

If you are in your Weapon or Armor Shape and you are held by your bonded ally, you may choose to have your bonded ally regain these hit points instead of yourself.

If you are ever incapacitated, you do not gain this benefit.

Changelog

1.0- Class Launch!

The Chrononaut

A halfling staggers out of an opaque portal, wearing strange clothes and clutching a bizarre dagger. He looks about the tavern frantically as the rift shuts behind him, scrambling up to the tavernkeeper, asking- "What year is it?"

A human adventurer never made clear the origins of his glowing sword, insisiting that his magic created the beam of energy from the "wand's" hilt. His allies don't complain- it cuts as well as the next blade, despite its strange origin.

An elf catalogues new plant life in this region. Having only seen them in fossil records, her excitement is evident. She turns to the small, hovering drone by her side, dictating her notes to it.

Each of these adventurers are chrononauts, scientists from a time, and possibly another plane, far in the future from your own. Having crossed time and space to get to where they are, chrononauts are singularly focused scientists and researchers who follow strict sets of academic codes when tampering with the past- after all, who knows what their presence here might entail for the future.

Creating a Chrononaut

Chrononauts are defined by their studies and code. As most of their background will be left in the future, they are all but alien to the new world that they have entered. Do you try to pass yourself off as a traveler from a land you know is far away? Or do you attempt to explain your situation, despite knowing most will not believe it? Some chrononauts might even have been launched through time by magical means, as opposed to scientific ones.

Quick Build

You can make a chrononaut quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by either Dexterity or Constitution. Second, choose the sage or far traveler background.

Class Features

As a chrononaut, you gain the following class features...

Extra Attack

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

Evasion

Beginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Recall Vitals

At 9th level, you can recall how you physically were seconds before in combat, jumping your body back in time to its previous state. As a reaction at the end of another creature’s turn, granted you are not unconscious, you can choose to skip back in time to your state before that turn began. Remove any damage, status conditions, and beneficial effects gained during that turn. This reaction is taken before any Legendary Actions. Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Quickened Reflexes

At 13th level, time slows around you while you are in danger. Whenever you end your turn with less than half your maximum hit points, you can use up to two reactions before the start of your next turn. You can only use one reaction per trigger.

Scanner

At 15th level, you create a special device as part of your Time Anchor which you can use to identify aspects of a creature within 120 feet of you. This scanner emits a dim light out to 120 feet while scanning. As an Action, you select a creature within range. That creature must succeed on a Dexterity Saving throw against your Time Anchor DC or become scanned for 1 minute. While scanned, you can use a bonus action on your turn to determine certain aspects about all scanned creatures, choosing from the list below:

• You learn a chosen ability score.

• Any damage vulnerabilities or special weaknesses (such as a fire elemental's weakness to water)

• Their highest level of spell slot, if any, and their caster level. If they do not have a caster level, it appears as an inherent ability.

• Their highest saving throw.

• Any strange chemical or physical structures, such as acid glands in an ankheg.

• Any condition immunities.

• Their creature type and subtype.

This scanner is considered divination magic for the purposes of prevention and magical obscuring.

Once you determine aspects using this ability 3 times, all creatures lose the scanned effect from this scanner, and you must complete a short or long rest before you can use it again. You regain all uses of the scanner’s determine aspect ability once you complete a short or long rest.

Projected Surge

Beginning at 17th level, you can use your action to bolster an ally within 30 feet of you with a surge of swiftness. When you do so, the ally may take two actions on their next turn, granted you are still conscious when they take the second action.

When you use this ability, make an Intelligence Saving Throw against a DC of 15 at the end of your turn. If you fail, you are paralyzed until the end of your next turn and cannot use this ability again until you complete a short or long rest. Each time you use this ability past the first time between short rests, increase the DC by 4.

Time Travel

Beginning at level 18, you can step back in time. By spending a 1 hour ritual trying to jury rig a time traveling device, you can create a medium sized portal using your Tinker's Tools. At the end of the hour, make an Intelligence (Tinker’s Tools) check. The DC equals 12, and increases by 1 per every 100 years you wish to travel into the past, to a maximum of increased amount of years equal to 100 times your chrononaut level. If you succeed, you create an identical portal in the same space in the past, and it opens a portal to the past. If there is no space to place the portal, the feature fails and is treated as if you failed your Tinker's Tools check.

Startled Halt

Beginning at 20th level, whenever you roll initiative, you may choose to use your reaction before the round starts to cast Time Stop without using a spell slot. Once you cast Time Stop in this way, you may not do so again until you complete a long rest.

Prime Directives

Reflecting the training and focus of the chrononaut before they left their time, and their pursued objectives once they enter into their new time, Prime Directives are scientific paths that each chrononaut travels down.

Each Directive has a strict code for how they interact with the past. Failing to follow your code restricts you from using any Resolve Abilities or Resolve Powers (features gained at 1st and 6th levels) until 24 hours have passed from the offending case. Particularly severe cases may prevent your resolve for longer, depending on the DM's discretion.

Complete Erasure

Beginning at 14th level, whenever you are moving stealthily or attempting to hide, you leave no trace of your presence as you slightly change space where you sneak by. Even people who see you in passing have no memory of you when you are trying to stay hidden, though people who are familiar enough to know your name or are familiar enough to be considered acquaintances or friends are unaffected.

You and allies within 15 feet of you cannot be tracked except by magical means while you are alive. When you die, traces of you return, as tracks, memories, and other indicators of your presence are returned to your rightful time line.

Research

Your code is that of scholarly interest. Perhaps you are a scientist sent to catalogue history as it happened, or perhaps you are searching to change the future and bend it to your will, for good or ill. Researchers are well-equipped to handle any danger, and can create small robotic drones to assist them in their endeavors.

Arcanum

Your code is that of future magicians or magic-seekers. Most Arcanists come from timelines in which magic is all but gone, but perhaps they need to rediscover magic and save their time, or they seek to learn magic lost to time. Arcanists seek ancient magic and begin to learn it on their own, alongside their own scientific advancements.

Code

• You must seek out strange and new magic to record or study.
• You must not destroy or ruin arcane texts or scrolls.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you select this Directive at level 1, you become proficient in two of the following skills- arcana, religion, persuasion, or investigation.

When you use one of this skills and you have your Light Blade in existence within 5 feet of you, you may use your Intelligence modifier instead of the regular modifier for the chosen skills.

Time Anchor: Light Blade

At 1st level, you forge your Time Anchor to modeled after magical blades of old. The light blade is a technological sword-hilt that extends into a glowing blade of energy when activated. It is a finesse, one-handed melee weapon that deals 1d8 force, fire, or radiant damage, you choose which type when you create your blade.

You can use a bonus action to retract or summon the blade. While summoned, the light blade emits dim light for 20 feet.

Resolve Ability: Arcane Swordsman

At 1st level, choose any cantrip that requires either a melee weapon attack or a melee spell attack. While you have your Light Blade summoned and on hand, you may cast this cantrip, with Intelligence as your spellcasting modifier.

If you have a spell book or a scroll of an appropriate cantrip at the end of a long rest, you may choose to switch your cantrip to the one in the scroll. You can always change it back to your original chosen cantrip after a long rest, even without a spell book or scroll of the appropriate type.

Specialized School

At 3rd level, select 1 school of magic to be your specialized school. You can cast detect magic and identify at will without requiring material components, but you can only sense or identify magical objects of the same type as your specialized school.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you augment your scientific prowess with the arcane ability to cast spells. In the Player's Handbook, see chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the wizard spell list.

Cantrips. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn an additional wizard cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Spell Slots. The Arcanum Spellcasting 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.

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

Resolve Power: Martial Magic

Beginning at 6th level, whenever you use your action to cast a cantrip, you may use a bonus action to make an attack with your Light Blade.

Magical Sunder

At 14th level, whenever you hit a creature with your Light Blade, they have disadvantage on the next saving throw you force them to make with a spell of yours before the end of your next turn.

Temporal Transistors

Each Transistor listed here can be crafted at certain levels. You must fulfill the prerequisites of the Transistor before you can learn it, either by finding one or by leveling up. You gain 2 transistors at levels 2, and 1 Transistor at levels 6, 11, and 16.

You may apply one extra Transistor at level 11.

Bayonet

Prerequisite: Research Directive
You affix a blade at the end of your Blaster. This blade is a light, finesse weapon that you may use to make a melee attack that deals 1d4 damage of whatever your Time Anchor’s damage type is.

Blend

Prerequisite: Survival Directive
You can use an Action to cause yourself to become invisible. You remain invisible for as long as you do not move, take damage, or take any actions other than the Hide action. You must have your Blink Knife on hand to do so.

Anatomical Precision

Prerequisite: 15th level
Whenever you successfully scan a creature with your scanner, that creature takes an additional weapon damage die from attacks with this Time Anchor for 1 minute while this Transistor is equipped.

Multiple Possible Futures

Prerequisite: 5th level
You can activate your Time Anchor to search through potential future time lines. As a ritual, you can cast augury without using a spell slot or providing material components. When casting the spell in this way, it is not considered magic, cannot be dispelled or counterspelled, and can be used in places where magic is restricted.

Beginning at level 11, you can cast it as an action. Once cast this spell as an action, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

The Disciple

Wielding a shield of brilliant sunlight, a man clad in half-plate armor and raises his outstretched hand. To the wounded ogre's dismay, the sunlight coalesces into a long, piercing spear of lightning, ready to strike the clumsy beast down.

A half-elf woman flits around the battlefield, staying far back from the action and chanting as her allies glow in a radiant sunlight. Their wounds recover as she lets forth a blast of radiant fire at a goblin who got too close for comfort.

A black dragonborn with curled horns walks forwards, malice in his eyes, electricity crackling between his irises. Sparks run down his blade, until it is glowing with the radiance of dawn.

These warriors are all disciples, soldiers of light that travel the world in quests from their allies. Disciples see allies not as just soldiers alongside them on the battlefield, but as a source of power. Masters of a synergetic force called Brilliance, their powers erupt in astonishing displays of radiance and thunder, a testament to the mutliple souls that fuel their company.

Disciples are almost all part of an organization or mercenary group, as they find strength in their allies. Many Disciples are drawn to an adventuring party simply for the reason that they might make new allies or meet new company, which in turn expands their own power by their understanding of Brilliance.

Class Features

As a disciple, you gain the following class features.

Token of Alliance

Your company has left you with the ability to engrave two special symbols to grant to your allies called Tokens of Alliance. Generally these are the form of coins, medallions, lockets, or similar trinkets. You may use an action to confer your token of alliance to a willing creature within 5 feet of you, they are considered to be holding it if it is within 5 feet of them. You can also use the following abilities below with your Tokens of Alliance:

• You can use a bonus action to begin emitting bright light out for 30 feet. Any creatures with your Token of Alliance that are within this light gain resistance to your choice of slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning damage until the end of your next turn. During this time, you have vulnerability to the chosen damage type. A given creature loses this resistance if they move 30 or more feet away from you or if you become incapacitated.
• Whenever you roll a natural 20 on a saving throw, ability check, or attack roll, you may use your reaction to “store” excess luck in one of your tokens that are within 60 feet of you, at which point you reroll the die and use the second roll. Whenever a creature who is holding your Token of Alliance that has this stored luck fails a saving throw, ability check, or attack roll, they can use their reaction to expend this luck and take the natural 20 for that ability check, saving throw, or attack roll. The Token of Alliance then shatters for that creature.

Tokens of Alliance also effect many other Disciple abilities. At the end of a long rest, you may magically reforge all of your Tokens of Alliance if any were broken or lost, any previously existing ones immediately being destroyed once a new one is created. At levels level 7 and 13, you can create one more Token of Alliance at a time.

You do not gain any benefits from your Tokens of Alliance if you hold one.

Brilliance Wellspring

Beginning at level 2, you have begun to tap into a unique pool of Brilliance to augment your abilities. As a bonus action, you may send a beam of light towards a creature within 120 feet of you that you can see. That creature recovers hit points equal to 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier, and then emanates a bright light for 5 feet and dim light for 5 more feet until the end of their next turn. A creature who is holding your Token of Alliance recovers the maximum number of hit points possible.

You may use this ability a number of times equal to 1 + your Wisdom modifier. You regain all expended uses after completing a long rest.

The healing die increases as you gain disciple levels. It increases to 1d8 at 5th level, 1d10 at 10th level, and 1d12 at 15th level.

Covenant

At 3rd level, you have solidified your place in your organization, called a Covenant. You may choose one of three Covenants: the Covenant of Sunlight, the Covenant of Royalty, or the Covenant of the Nameless. Your choice grants you additional features at level 6, 10, and 20.

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

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

Fallen Fury

At level 11, whenever you a creature who is holding your Token of Alliance within 30 feet of you has its hit points reduced to 0 or dies, you may use your reaction to siphon a burst of furious energy from their falling soul. Choose a single ability score that the fallen creature had. You copy that ability score for 1 minute, using its bonus instead of your normal bonus.

Additionally, until you are reduced to 0 hit points or until the ally restores at least 1 hit point, any attacks against the fallen ally are made disadvantage.

Once you use this ability, you must wait until you complete a long rest before you can use it again.

Arcing Power

At level 14, you can channel more power into your Brilliance. Whenever you use your Brilliance Wellspring on a creature, you may choose any number of creatures within 30 feet of it to recover the same amount of health, as that creature bursts in bright, healing light for 30 feet.

You can use this ability once, regaining all expended uses on after a short or long rest. You may use this ability twice per rest at level 17.

Divine Company

At level 18, you can commune with your allies. All creatures who are holding your Token of Alliance and each creature within 10 feet of you of your choice has advantage on the first saving throw they make each round, recovering their use of this ability at the end of your turn.

They do not gain this bonus if you cannot see them, or if you are incapacitated.

Covenants

Disciples are inherently drawn to others of their kind, but not all Disciples study Brilliance for the same purpose. Each Covenant is a set of rules and connections to further their agendas with using Brilliance. The Covenants detailed here are connected to the knights of Anor Londo and their devotion to the family of the Lord of Sunlight.

Spellcasting

At level 3, You augment your synergy with the ability to cast divine spells. See chapter 10 in the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and Caraman's Tome of Lost Skill in this document for the miracle spell list.

Cantrips. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the miracle spell list. You learn an additional miracle cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Spell Slots. The Royalty Covenant Spellcasting 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.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield of faith and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield of faith using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level miracle spells of your choice, two of which cannot deal damage. The Spells Known column of the Royalty Covenant Spellcasting table shows when you learn more miracle spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must not be able to deal damage, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can deal damage.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the miracle spells you know with another spell of your choice from the miracle spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must not be able to deal damage, unless you’re replacing the spell you gained at 8th, 14th, or 20th level.

Spellcasting Ability. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your miracle spells, since you learn your spells through willpower and devotion. 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 miracle spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Covenant of the Nameless

The firstborn son of the Lord of Sunlight betrayed his family and sided with their ancient enemies- the dragons. His name and the names of all his followers were struck from history, and now they are scarcely known to the world. Those who follow this Covenant find solace in anonymity, and are known for wearing masks and fighting as mercenaries, with lightning augmenting their very weapons.

The Drakeblood

A drow warrior takes his longsword, and activates a red rune embedded into its side earlier. The rune glows a deep scarlet, lighting every inch of the steel blade, until he swings it ahead of him, letting forth a fiery projection of his the Drake which rends through the Hook Horrors'.

A deep gnome holds forth a gnarled staff, letting his mind fall back to the great Titan which grants his power. Finding the source of deep psionic strength, he weaves the Ancient's power into a shield for himself and his allies.

A pale dragonborn lurches forwards, falling into a feral ferocity with his weapons, swinging each time with greater force. The duergar flee from his might, and those who look back see the dripping, black maw of the Monster looming behind his feral form.

An order of ancient monster hunters who live in the giant caverns of the Underdark, adherents of the Drakeblood gain strength from the bodies of their fallen foes and the blessing of the three Trapped Titans of the Underdark, a group only the Drakebloods remember. The spectacular power of their invocations can sunder armies, crush your enemies' will, or turn you into the very monsters you hunt.

Class Features

As a Drakeblood, you gain the following features.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attackyou make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Defense

While you are wearing armor, you gain +1 to AC.

Archery

You gain +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

Two-Weapon Fighting

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

Protection

When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

Runic Flare

At 2nd Level, you learn how to further manifest the strength of your fallen foes by instantly burning the latent power in your rune to create a spectacular effect, called a Runic Flare. You learn 3 Runic Flares of your choice from the list below. You can use Flares a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, regaining all expended uses after completing a long rest.

When you use a Flare, you ruin your blood rune. When an Flare calls for a Saving Throw, use 8 + your Charisma Modifier + your Proficiency bonus.

You learn new Flares of your choice when you reach certain levels in the drakeblood class, as shown on the Flares Known column. Whenever you gain a level in the drakeblood class, you may choose to switch out one Flare for another that you meet the prerequisites for. All Flares are listed at the end of the class description.

Corpse Crafting

Beginning at level 2, you learn some secrets of crafting weapons and armor from your fallen enemies. When you harvest the Medium or larger corpse of an enemy who is at least 2 CR, you may spend 10 minutes to gather the materials to craft a single simple melee weapon or a single set of leather or hide armor. After you gather these materials, you can begin to create the item over any period of days, completing it after you have spent enough time on it, as determined by the Crafting Time of the item (see Crafting Weapons and Armor table at the end of the class description).

You gain the ability to create more mundane armor and weapons as you gain Drakeblood levels. Weapons and armor created this way are not considered metal and are not effected by abilities that effect metal armor, such as a rust monster’s antenna or heat metal.

Crafting times are listed in Special Items at the end of the Class description.

At 5th level, weapons created using your Corpse Crafting feature are considered magical for the purposes of overcoming damage resistances and immunities.

Drakeblood Gift

At level 3, you are gifted with the blood of one of the Trapped Titans. This focus allows you to embody an aspect of these Titans in the form of physical mutations, and grants you increasing power to slay their foes. There are 3 Titans described at the end of the Class's features- the Drake, the Ancient, and the Monster.

Choose one Titan to emulate. You gain features from this choice at 3rd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 17th level.

Hungering Runes

At level 3, whenever you kill an enemy or land a critical hit on an enemy with a weapon inscribed with an active blood rune created with blood of that type of enemy, you recover one expended use of your Runic Flares.

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

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

Extraordinary Creation

At level 7, you begin to tap into the secret knowledge of the titans, allowing you to steal an enchantment to use in your crafting. You learn one magical enchantment, as well as one additional enchantment at levels 11 and 15, choosing from the appropriate lists below. The next time you harvest a creature of Large size or larger that is a CR equal to the level you gained the enchantment at or higher, is Large, and fulfills any prerequisites for the magical item, you may begin crafting the item as with your Corpse Crafting feature.

Each magic item takes a number of hours to craft equal to double the level you acquired it at, and they require no gold components. Your subclass provides additional enchantment options known at each level, but these have more specific crafting requirements. You may also only have Extraordinary Creation of each level in existence at a time, either of your learned enchantment or from your Gift's Additional Creations.

These magic items are detailed in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. The crafting specifics are detailed in Special Items at the end of the Class description.

7th Level: Boots of the Winterland, Eyes of the Eagle, Gloves of Swimming and Climbing, Goggles of Night

11th Level: Cloak of Protection, Cloak of the Manta Ray, Periapt of Wound Closure, Slippers of Spider Climbing

15th Level: Cloak of the Bat, Dimensional Shackles, Ring of Animal Influence, Rope of Entanglement

Bloodspring

At level 7, a well of blood magic inside of you allows you to produce one of the following effects whenever you complete a short rest:

• Choose an item you can craft with Extraordinary Creations or Corpse Crafting. You sense the location and learn the identity of the nearest creature within 1 mile of you that would fulfill the crafting requirements of the item, if there are any such creatures. You can exclude any number of creatures that you know about when you use this option.

• You sense the location and number of any creature type for which you have a blood vial within 1 mile, or 10 miles if the creature type matches your Gift's Enmity.

• You duplicate one vial of blood into an empty vial, with the duplicate retaining all of the original’s properties.

Potent Flare

At level 9, whenever you use a Flare, you may choose to make it Potent. When you make a Flare Potent, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Drakeblood level.

You can make a Flare potent one time, gaining more uses as you increase in drakeblood level. You can use it two times when you gain 13th level, and three times at 18th level. You regain all expended uses upon completing a short or long rest.

Volatile Hemomancy

At level 20, you can magically mimic the effect of monster blood using your own life force. You can use a Flare without ruining your rune. When you do so, your maximum hit points and hit points are reduced by 1d12 + 10, which lasts until your next long rest or until healed by a spell such as greater restoration.

If you die as a result of this hit point reduction, your soul is dragged into the depths and imprisoned alongside the Trapped Titans, and you cannot be restored to life.

Drakeblood Gift

Drakeblood packs are structured and martial. Each Titan gifts to their soldiers unique physical traits that help them in their endeavors as a member of a pack. When a drakeblood warrior develops their first mutation, they are placed into their caste in the pack, and their path becomes clear.

Elemental Blade

At level 6, you can imbue your blade with the power of the elements. While you have a blood rune inscribed, you can choose to deal either acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage with your weapon attacks as opposed to your weapon's actual damage.

While your weapon attacks' damage type is modified in this way, your attacks are considered magical for the purposes of overcoming damage resistance and immunity.

Serpentine Power

At level 10, whenever you take the Attack action, you can expend one use of Potent Flare to make a another weapon attack as a bonus action. If this extra attack hits, it deals an additional 3d8 acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage (your choice).

This additional damage increases to 4d8 at level 17.

Dragon Sense

At level 14, you have acquired the senses of a dragon. You gain blindsight out to 30 feet and have advantage on Dexterity saving throws if you can see the source and it is within 30 feet of you.

Absorb Breath

At level 17, you have gained the lungs that can steal the destructive breath of a dragon and other creatures. When you are subject to a magical effect that would force creatures in an area of effect to make a saving throw to take half damage, you can instead use your reaction to cancel that ability and absorb it into your lungs. The damage must be fire, frost, lightning, acid or poison to use this ability. When you cancel an ability in this way, the ability does not damage anyone in the radius.

After absorbing an ability in this way, you can use your action on your next turn to use the same ability, using the original saving throw if necessary.

Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you have completed a long rest.

Gift of the Ancient

The Gifted of the Ancient are mystical shamans and seers of the Drakeblood packs. The Ancient was once a human, but in their folly they ascribed themselves to true understanding of the nature of the Far Plane. As a means of protecting themselves, the denizens of the Far Planes found the Ancient and sealed him away, along with his secret knowledge.

Ancient shamans are masters of psychic force and can bend the minds of people and creatures around them. They are amongst the few who can begin to understand the infinite madness of the Far Realms- and they can wield that madness as a weapon.

Mindsight

At level 14, you can cast detect thoughts at will without requiring any material components. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this spell.

Prison of the Mind

At level 17, you can temporarily imprison a creature's mind. As an action, you can force a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see to make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, that creature becomes Stunned for 1 hour, or until you lose concentration (as if concentrating on a spell).

If the creature takes any damage or if they are moved more than 5 feet in a single round from their location, the effect is broken. Creatures with an Intelligence of 3 or lower are not effected by this ability.

Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

Gift of the Monster

Those of the Monster are born into the shadows of drakeblood society, as scouts and rangers. They more than most are drawn to the dark reaches of the Underdark, finding solace in the cold shadows. The Monster was a great beast whose name was stricken from history. A hero of old cast him down into the depths of the earth and bound him in tar and oil, never to see light again.

Monster scouts are swift and deadly, with violent, temporary mutations that effect their body as they track down their quarry. They are often mistaken as lycanthropes.

Runic Flares

If a Runic Flare has prerequisites, you must meet them to learn it. You can learn a flare at the same time that you meet its prerequisites.

Sigil of Sight

Prerequisite: Gift of the Ancient
You may use an action to transfer your rune onto a non-moving point within 5 feet of you that you can see. You can use your Action to look through your rune as if you were standing in that 5 foot space. The rune is barely visible, only able to be seen with a Perception check against your Flare DC.

Once transferred, the rune lasts until you use a bonus action to de-activate it (although the physical rune stays there), until you create a new blood rune, until it is ruined, or until 24 hours have passed, after which it is ruined. While your Rune is placed somewhere as a Sigil of Sight, you do not gain your Rune damage in weapon attacks and you cannot ruin the rune to activate Flares.

You must be on the same plane of existence to see through your rune.

Mind Wipe

Prerequisite: 17th level, Gift of the Ancient
Choose a single creature within 30 feet of you. That creature must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or have the last hour of their memories wiped.

After doing so, you may make a Charisma (Persuasion) check versus their Wisdom (Insight) check. On a success, anything you narrarate to them for the next minute fills in the missing memories, so long as it remains plausible to the listener.

These false memories can be dispelled with a dispel magic. This ability is considered a 5th level spell for the purposes of dispel magic. After the false memories are dispeled, a creature can have its original memories restored via greater restoration or similarly powerful magic.

Vampiric Step

Prerequisite: 5th level
You can use an action to cast levitate or a bonus action to cast misty step.

Vampiric Flight

Prerequisite: 10th level
You can use an action to cause the rune to spread to your back and expand into crimson wings. You have a flying speed of 30 feet with these wings. You maintain these wings for 10 minutes, or until you lose concentration, as if concentrating on a spell.

The wings fade when you create another blood rune.

Wrathful Chains

Prerequisite: 17th level
You can use an action to cast hold monster or hold person.

The creature type detailed in your Gift's Enmity has disadvantage on this saving throw.

Special Items

Sometimes, a drakeblood may wish to buy items required for their abilites rather than harvest them from their foes. These prices are suggested, but obviously they would be different based on availability and legality. Characters with the Criminal Contact or Thieves Cant features might be able to gain access to these items even if they are illegal.

Blood Vials. Each type of vial is related to a specific type of creature. Beast blood is the most common, and can be bought from butchers and huntsmen. Humanoid blood is usually illegal to sell or buy, and its harvesting is considered detestable for obvious reasons. However, some criminal organizations can sell these blood vials. Other blood can often be bought from mages or traveling adventurers depending on the availability.

Elemental Essence, Ooze Necrotic Residue, Deadman's Blood, and Flora Death Sap are all effective blood substitutes for the Elemental, Ooze, Undead, and Plant monster types, respectively. Constructs do not have blood or a bloodlike substitute. Assume a higher price for a specific creature's blood, such as the blood of a red dragon as opposed to general True Dragon blood.

Steel Vial. This small, alchemically reinforced vial can hold even the most hot or caustic of substances, and ignores to the glass-shattering effect of shatter and similar abilities.

Crafting Weapons and Armor

In order to craft a weapon or armor from your enemies, you must first harvest the enemy (see the Harvester ability above) for the appropriate materials, then spend a certain amount of days crafting that item. You must be of a level to craft these items.

The cost of these items is reflective of the special bloods, arcane runes, and extra materials required to create the items.

The Mistborn

A young Tiefling darts into the alley, strange wispy mists wrapping around their tattered cloak. Suddenly, coins come rocketing from the mists piercing through the guard's armor with the force of a heavy bolt, before they notice the horned thief flying through the skies with an inhumanly tall leap.

A nobleman with a fine moustache and a wispy cape walks calmly through the crowd of apathetic gnolls, mentally focusing on keeping them calm while recognizing he only has a few minutes left to spare.

The gnome sits by at the bar, taking a glance around and flaring the dull metal in his stomach. Faint orbs of light emanate from a weaselly man fidgeting in the corner, showing his veiled aura of protection to his seeker eyes.

These unique magic users are all Mistborn, people who manipulate metals and internal workings of other creatures through the use of Allomancy, the magic of burning metals. Sly and subtly magical, mistborn are nearly undetectable when using their powers, and they are favored by mysterious mists, though no one can for sure say why...

Class Features

As a Mistborn, you gain the following class features.

Burning Metals

Activating metals requires you to convert them into alchemical energy inside your body- a process known as "burning" metals. It is generally an Action to begin to burn a metal, unless the metal's description says otherwise. It is a free action to stop burning a metal.

Once you begin to burn a given metal feature, you generally must first drop it and begin to burn again if you wish to use its feature again or on a new target. For example, if you burn iron on a sack of coins and pull it to you, but you then want to pull sack of coins to you, you must stop burning your iron on the first sack of coins as a free action and use an action to once again begin burning it on the second sack of coins. You immediately stop burning all metals if you become incapacitated.

Burning metals simultaneously is difficult and can be dangerous for the Mistborn if done improperly. Therefore, you may only burn two types of metals simultaneously. The amount of metal types you can simultaneously burn increases as you gain levels in this class, increasing to three types at level 5, four types at level 9, five types at level 13, and six types at level 17.

If you attempt to burn more metals simultaneously than you can at your level, you must make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of your turns burning those extra metals, of a DC equal to 15 + the number of metals you are currently burning + the number of rounds you have spent burning too many metals. If you fail, you stop burning any metal you are currently burning, and you are then are affected by the allomantic backlash and are incapacitated until the end of your next turn.

Allomantic Metals

Each Allomantic metal has its own metal and its Alloy, which deal opposite effects. For example, Iron pulls metal sources towards them, while Steel, its alloy, pushes them towards metal sources. Using metals requires no spell components, but those who can sense magic senses it as such.

Tin

Tin allows you to enhance your internal senses. As a bonus action, you can burn 1 Tin store to gain its effects for 1 hour. If at the end of that hour you would end your turn and stop burning Tin, you can choose to expend 1 more store to keep burning it for an hour more. You gain advantage on all Wisdom (Perception) checks while burning Tin, and you have darkvision out to 120 feet. This darkvision can also see through non-magical and magical mist and fog.

However, Tin makes you susceptible to loud sounds or other stimuli. You are vulnerable to all thunder damage while burning Tin, and if you take any thunder damage while burning Tin, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 10 or the total thunder damage dealt, whichever is higher. If you fail, you become stunned until the end of your next turn.

Pewter

Pewter, an alloy of Tin, allows you to increase your external power and physical strength. You may use a bonus action to burn 1 Pewter store to grant yourself additional strength. You begin to burn Pewter until the end of your next turn, you deal an additional 1d6 weapon damage whenever you deal damage with a melee weapon attack, and you have advantage on all Strength checks and saving throws. This additional damage increases to 2d6 at level 11.

If you would end your Pewter burning at the end of your turn, you may expend 1 Pewter store to continue burning it until the end of your next turn.

Copper

Copper allows you to create an invisible cloud of around you called a Coppercloud, which dampens all Allomantic and magical abilities so that you cannot be sensed by magical means. As an action, you may begin to burn 1 store of Copper for 1 minute. At the end of your turn, when you would stop burning Copper, you may expend 1 Copper to keep burning it for 1 more minute.

While within 15 feet of you (which is inside the Coppercloud), any spellcaster or allomancer can cast a spell or burn metals, but any magical detection will fail to determine that they are casting a spell or burning a metal.

If a creature who is burning Bronze or who is concentrating on a divination spell such as detect magic or locate object enters the Coppercloud, they immediately lose concentration on that spell.

Bronze

Bronze, an alloy of Copper, allows you to sense outwards and touch the metal and magic reserves of other creatures, sensing their presence. As an action, you can burn 1 Bronze to increase your extrasensory perception for 1 minute, allowing you to detect if there are any creatures within 30 feet of you that are burning a metal, are concentrating on a spell, or are emitting a magical aura (such as with nystul's magic aura). If you would end your bronze burning at the end of your turn, you may expend 1 store of bronze to keep burning it for 1 more minute.

You know which creature is the source of any given magic or allomancy you sense in this way, but you do not know the creature's type or the magic's type. While burning Bronze, you also have advantage on any saving throws or checks made against Zinc or Brass Allomancy that you can sense, as you know what they are attempting to do to you.

You cannot burn bronze while inside a Coppercloud, and any creature inside a Coppercloud is masked from your Bronze sense.

Zinc

Zinc is an emotional metal that allows you to inflame other's emotions into raging. As an Action, you can begin to burn any number of Zinc stores to target an equal number of creatures you can see within 30 feet of you. They must succeed on a Mental Charisma saving throw or become charmed by you for 1 minute, until you move more than 60 feet away from them, or until you stop burning Zinc. While charmed in this way, they are extremely angry or volatile, and may attack at the slightest provocation.

They may re-attempt this saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success. A creature can choose to fail this saving throw. As soon as you are not charming any creatures with your Zinc, you stop burning the metal. If you would stop burning Zinc at the end of your turn and therefore lift the charmed conditions of any creatures effected by it, you may expend a number of Zinc stores equal to the number of creatures you currently have charmed by your Zinc to keep burning it for 1 more minute.

A creature who knows that you are a Mistborn or Misting knows that they were being effected by emotional allomancy when they are released from this charm. Otherwise, they are none the wiser that they were effected by magic.

Brass

Brass, an alloy of Zinc, is an emotional metal that allows you to dampen other's emotions, producing a calming effect. As an Action, you can begin to burn any number of Brass stores to target an equal number of creatures you can see within 30 feet of you. They must succeed on a Mental Charisma saving throw or become charmed by you for 1 minute, until you move more than 60 feet away from them, or until you stop burning Brass. While charmed in this way, they are calm and suggestible, often agreeing with your speech.

They may re-attempt this saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success. A creature can choose to fail this saving throw. As soon as you are not charming any creatures with your Brass, you stop burning the metal. If you would stop burning Brass at the end of your turn and therefore lift the charmed conditions of any creatures effected by it, you may expend a number of Brass stores equal to the number of creatures you currently have charmed by your Brass to keep burning it for 1 more minute.

A creature who knows that they were talking to a Mistborn or Misting knows that they were being effected by emotional allomancy. Otherwise, they are none the wiser that they were effected by magic.

Mist Cloak

Mistborn can create a magical cloak around them that allows them to call mists to hide in during battle. As a bonus action, the mistborn can attempt to disorient their foes by enveloping themselves in mist. They may make a Dexterity (Stealth) check against a single enemy’s Wisdom (Perception), if the enemy is within 30 feet of them. On a success, the mists envelope the mistborn. They do not draw attacks of opportunity from the targeted enemy, and that enemy either has disadvantage on the next saving throw the mistborn makes it perform, or the mistborn has advantage on the next attack roll they make against it.

This effect lasts until the end of the mistborn’s next turn or until they force disadvantage or advantage with this ability. A creature cannot be effected by this ability if they can see through magical mist or illusions.

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, regaining all uses after completing a long rest.

Specialty Metal

At level 2, mistborn specialize in a specific basic metal group. When you choose your metal, you choose both the metal and its alloy- for instance, a mistborn who specializes in Iron also specializes in Steel. You may specialize in one of 4 metal pairs: Iron, Tin, Copper, and Zinc. Your choice grants you additional flares and features.

You gain additional features from this choice at levels 6, 10, and 14. The Specialties are detailed at the end of the class features.

Allomantic Flares

Additionally at level 2, you learn how to Flare your metal in certain ways to create special effects. When you flare a metal, you quickly burn a large amount of it to create a spectacular effect. Since burning a lot of metal at once can sicken a mistborn, you may only flare metal up to your Toxin Threshold, as determined on the Toxin Threshold column on the mistborn table. You learn 1 flare of your choice at this level, gaining 1 more for every mistborn level past 2nd. You may only learn flares of a Toxin Threshold that you can perform.

Every time you gain a level in this class, you may also replace one flare with another, granted you still meet the prerequisites to learn that flare. All flares are outlined at the end of the specialty features.

Expertise

At level 3, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.

Mist Recovery

At level 5, you recover all expended uses of your Mist Cloak whenever you complete a short or long rest.

Higher Metal Training

At level 11, you can learn how to manipulate a single powerful metal called a higher metal. Choose one higher metal from the list below to learn. When you are preparing your Allomantic Stores, you may use 9 stores to prepare one use of a Higher metal you know.

You learn one more higher metal at levels 13 and 15. Also, beginning at level 13, you may spend 19 stores to prepare two Higher Metal uses, and at level 15 you may spend 30 stores to prepare three Higher Metal uses. The eight Higher Metals are listed below.

Bendalloy

Bendalloy, an alloy of Cadmium, allows you to create a bubble of speed and increase the time flow around you. As an Action, you may begin to burn Bendalloy for 1 minute. For the duration, you create a sphere of chronomancy that speeds up time, centered on yourself. Any creature inside the sphere when it is created has their movement speed is doubled, they can take one extra Action on their turn (which must be a single weapon attack), and they cannot move out of the sphere. Also, all creatures outside cannot move inside the sphere, and any attacks made from the outside into the sphere are at disadvantage.

You may extinguish the metal and dissipate the sphere early as a bonus action. If made in the same space as Cadmium, both spheres are immediately dissipated.

Aluminum

Aluminum can seem a somewhat useless metal to learn, but can be used in a dire situation to purge yourself of metals and heighten your resolve for 1 minute. You may use an Action to purge all metals from your body, dropping your Allomantic stores to 0. When you do so, you also end all magical effects, curses, or diseases that are effecting you, and you cannot be effected by the same effect, curse, or disease for 1 minute.

Additionally, you gain temporary hit points equal to the amount of Allomantic Stores burnt away, to a maximum amount of temporary hit points equal to twice your level. These temporary hit points fade once you complete a short or long rest.

You also burn away all Higher and God metals when you use this ability.

Duralumin

Duralumin, an alloy of Aluminum, allows you to flare all your metals simultaneously to create a powerful effect. Whenever you create a Flare effect, you may also burn Duralumin to burn away all your metal stores, reducing your Allomantic stores to 0. When you do so, you automatically cause any creature to fail a saving throw caused by that flare, you may gain advantage on any attack roll using that flare, and you can create up to two additional flares using that same metal at that same time.

Additionally, you gain advantage on all saves caused by magical effects you can see for 1 minute, as the residual power of your Flares lingers around you.

You also burn away all Higher and God metals when you use this ability.

Chromium

Chromium allows an mistborn to destroy other creature's supply of metals or magical power. Whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you may also choose to burn one use of Chromium to force them to make a Mental Constitution saving throw. If they fail, choose a number of Spell Slots equal to half your mistborn level, rounded up. You reduce that creature's spell slots by an amount equal to those levels, in any combination you choose. If they had the Pact Magic feature, they instead lose one Pact Magic spell slot.

Alternatively, you can choose a number of allomantic stores equal to half your maximum stores. The creature loses those stores, starting with metals of your choice.

Nicrosil

Nicrosil, an alloy of Chromium, allows you to destroy spells or metals a creature is concentrating on or burning. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you may choose to burn one use of Nicrosil to cause it to burst all their focused magical power away. The target must make a Mental Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a creature who is burning a metal loses all of their stores of that metal.

Alternatively, creature who is concentrating on a spell loses concentration on that spell and cannot cast a spell of that type until they complete a long rest.

God Metal

At level 17, you learn how to use a single extremely powerful metal known as a God Metal. When you are preparing your Allomantic Stores, you may use 13 stores to prepare a single use of a God Metal you know. The three God Metals are listed below.

Internalized Metals

At level 18, you have learned how to burn certain metals without using up your stores. Choose a single Basic metal. You can burn that metal without using your Allomantic stores. You must still use stores to flare the metal, however.

Allomantic Fusion

At level 20, you can create bursts of combined flares with your metals. Whenever you create a flare, you may also create one more flare at the same time of the same metal or a different one. You need not expend extra Allomantic stores for this second flare, but it must not be of a higher Toxin level than the first flare.

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, regaining all uses after completing a long rest.

Metal Specializations

Mistborn often pair their metals together, each specialization representing a "push" or "pull" of a certain element and its alloy. These mistborn become more adept at using this specific metal, granting them special fighting styles and abilities.

Tineye Senses

At level 14, you can sense every movement around you. While you are burning Tin, you have advantage on all Dexterity saving throws. If the saving throw was to take half damage, you instead take no damage on a success and half damage on a failure.

However, you have disadvantage on any saving throw made against Thunder damage. You do not gain the above advantage on Dexterity saves, nor the reduced damage on failed or successful save, if it to resist Thunder damage.

Copper Specialist

Also known as Smokers or Seekers, Copper and Bronze specialists are key investigators and sneaks. They can sense the slightest allomantic or magical auras, and can determine other's type of spell that is cast, or even the intent and proficiency with magic that they use it with. The most powerful Seekers can even pierce other's Copperclouds, with extreme practice.

Zinc Specialist

Also known as Rioters or Soothers, Zinc and Brass specialists can manipulate people with a massive level of subtle charm. Their mental allomancy allows them to confuse and embolden individuals on the battlefield, with the most powerful able to incite massive riots or calm dozens of people for a time.

Allomantic Flares

When you learn a Flare, you must burn the specific Basic metal that the Flare is under. Each flare requires a certain amount of metal, but often can burn extra stores to increase its potency.

Arcane Perception (Cost: 3)

As an Action, you may burn 3 Tin to detect the presence any invisible objects or creatures within 60 feet of you that are not obstructed by any other opaque objects. You know the location and general shape of the object or creature. A creature detected by this flare cannot benefit from its invisibility against you for the next minute.

Focused Sound (Cost: 3)

As an Action, you may flare your Tin to listen to everything around you. For 1 minute, you gain vulnerability to thunder damage, however, you automatically succeed on any Wisdom (Perception) checks made to listen. You may stop burning Tin as a bonus action to end this ability early.

Precision Strike (Cost: 5)

As an Action, you strike for a creature's weak points while flaring tin. Until the end of your next turn, the first attack you make that hits a creature is considered a Critical Hit. After that attack, this effect ends.

Ethereal Sight (Cost: 6)

As an Action, you can see slightly into the Ethereal plane, granting you Truesight out to 30 feet for 10 minutes or until you stop burning Tin.

Share Senses (Cost: 7)

When you begin to burn Tin, you may flare it to select up to 8 other creatures within 30 feet of you. They also gain the benefits, and drawbacks, of your Tin burning until they move more than 30 feet away from you or until 1 minute has passed.

Pewter Flares

Copper Flares

Obscure (Cost: 3)

Whenever a creature, including yourself, attempts to make a Stealth check while effected by your Coppercloud, you may flare your copper as a reaction to give it a bonus to the roll equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Empower Cloud (Cost: 5)

When you begin to burn Copper, you may flare it to begin to burn it with more potency. The Coppercloud’s range and duration doubles, and creatures inside that you choose can still burn Bronze or use divination magic.

Mind Shielding (Cost: 6)

As a reaction whenever a creature inside your Coppercloud would either fail a Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma Saving Throw, you may instead flare your metal to cause them to succeed.

Counter Divination (Cost: 7)

Whenever you succeed in a Saving throw against being divined upon, as with the Scrying spell, or whenever your Coppercloud prevents such a Scrying, you may use your reaction to flare your copper and instantly cast the same spell on the source of the divination. You know when your Coppercloud defends against these abilities when you learn this flare. You may cast this divination spell in your Coppercloud, but not while inside another’s.

Bronze Flares

Zinc Flares

Redirect Blow (Cost: 3)

As a reaction, whenever you are targeted with an attack, spell, or ability that only effects you by a creature who is rioting with your Zinc burning, you may change the target to another creature within its range instead of yourself.

Aggressive Negotiations (Cost: 5)

When you target a creature(s) with your Zinc, you may choose a single creature and flare your Zinc. If they fail, they become extremely aggressive and unable to create peaceful negotiations. Until you stop burning Bronze, the creature has disadvantage on any Deception, Insight, or Persuasion check they make due to their fury. However, they do gain advantage on Intimidation checks.

Shield of Rage (Cost: 6)

As an Action, you may grant every creature of your choice who are rioting from your Zinc burning to gain 4d6 + 10 temporary hit points. These temporary hit points disappear once you stop burning Zinc.

Blind Anger (Cost: 7)

When you target a creature with your Zinc burning, you may flare it to cause them to enter a blind rage. If they riot from this flare, they may only move, make melee weapon attacks against creatures they can see, or shout incoherently on their turn, and they must make a weapon attack against at least one creature on their turn or take 5d8 psychic damage at the end of their turn. This rage lasts for 1 minute or until you stop burning Zinc. If they were concentrating on a spell before entering a blind rage, the concentration is instantly broken once they enter it.

Brass Flares

Psychic

Primal power flashing before her eyes, the half-elf stands in front of a Mind Flayer, staring into its beady eyes. Pulses of psionic energy flash as the two duel, with surges of energy blurring the air around her. Eventually, the Mind Flayer is left mentally destroyed, stunned and at the psychic's mercy.

Holding out his crystal, a human peers into the minds of a young child, feeling the seed of trauma and madness, slowly pulling it away.

Floating in the air above the battlefield, a tiefling brings a finger to her temples, commanding her allies, revealing enemy locations as they are struck down.

Psychics wield the primal power of an unlocked mind through years of meditation or study. First discovered before the Giant-Dragon wars, psionics was likely the first form of magic to ever be utilized by humans. By forcing mutations in the brain to unlock potential psionics, which allow the psychic to move objects and control creatures with the power of their minds, with enough strength to rival even the most powerful spellcaster.

Creating a Psychic

The most important question when creating a Psychic is to think of the origin of their power. Generally, Psionics control is an activity that requires extensive training and forced mutations, but perhaps you are innately talented and have had no formal training. Perhaps you read a tome in Quallith and found you could then move objects with your mind, albeit with large, accompanying migraines, or perhaps you encountered the strength of psionics firsthand, and decided to devote yourself to study them.

Class Features

As a Psychic, you gain the following class features.

Proficiencies

• Armor: None
• Weapons: Simple weapons
• Tools: None

• Saving Throws: Intelligence, Wisdom
• Skills: Choose two skills from Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, and Perception.

Equipment

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

• (a) a light crossbow and 20 bolts, (b) a quarterstaff, or (c) any martial weapon (if proficient).
• (a) three daggers, (b) leather armor and a shield (if proficient), or (c) scale mail (if proficient).
• (a) a component pouch or (b) an arcane focus.
• (a) a dungeoneer's pack or (b) an explorer's pack.

Psionic Spellcasting

Your mastery of Psionics allows you to control and create spells from your thoughts, bringing them into the Weave. This primal power fuels your spells.

Mutation Spells

When you choose this Mutation at level 1, you learn one 1st level spell of your choice from the following options: Color Spray, Hunter's Mark, or Silent Image. This spell does not count against your Spell Capacity, and whenever you gain a level in this class, you may change any one of these three spells for another one of the three.

Additionally, you learn one sorcerer cantrip of your choice. All spells learned in this manner are considered to be psychic spells for you.

Bonus Proficiencies

Also at level 1, you gain proficiency in the Perception and Investigation skills.

Choose one of these skill proficiencies. Whenever you make an ability check using your chosen proficiency, you double your proficiency bonus.

Psionic Eyesteal

Also at level 1, you can tap into the visual senses of other creatures. As an Action, you can force a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you to make an Intelligence Saving throw. On a failure, you see what they see in your mind's eye for 1 minute or until you exit their senses as a bonus action. A creature may use their action to attempt the saving throw again to break free of this ability.

A creature that succeeds against this Saving throw is immune to this psionic ability for 24 hours. This does not effect constructs or undead.

Hallucinations

At level 3, whenever you cast a spell that creates a visual illusion but not any other sensory illusions, you can designate a number of creatures within 120 feet of you that you can see equal to your Intelligence modifier. Only those creatures can see this illusion. You cannot select a construct or undead with this ability.

You can use this ability twice, regaining all expended uses after completing a long rest. You gain more uses of this ability as you gain psychic levels, three uses at level 8, four uses at level 13, and five uses at level 18.

Extrasensory Vision

At level 10, your eyes and become able to sense more than most. While you are conscious, you and all creatures within 10 feet of you of your choice and gain truesight out to 30 feet.

Psychic Sight

At level 20, you become a powerful force of sight. Whenever you cast a psychic spell of 1st level or higher, you can cast Silent Image as a bonus action without expending a spell slot or providing material components.

When you cast Silent Image in this way, you do not need to concentrate on the spell. If you cast Silent Image again in this way, any previous illusions created by this spell disappear.

Parietal Mutation

Those psychics who use their psionics to augment their own senses and perception also subsequently increase their sensitivity to pain. This makes them cautious and evasive in combat, and they can adjust the nervous systems of others to numb their pain or cause it to flare up wildly. The parietal lobe of these psychics often connect with hundreds of additional neural pathways that connect it to the peripheral nervous system.

Peripheral mutants can observe and learn spells from the Cleric and Paladin spell lists.

Soothe Mind

Also at level 3, whenever you magically restore hit points to a creature or creatures, you can also choose to remove a single condition from one target of your healing ability. This condition can be charmed, frightened, stunned, blinded, or deafened.

You can use this ability twice, regaining all expended uses after completing a long rest. You gain more uses of this ability as you gain psychic levels, three uses at level 8, four uses at level 13, and five uses at level 18.

Adjust Defenses

At level 10, you can adjust how your body reacts to pain and attacks. Choose one saving throw that you are not already proficient. For as long as you have at least 1 Psionic Wound, you are proficient with that saving throw. Whenever you use a reaction to gain a Psionic Wound, you may change this choice of saving throw as part of the same reaction.

Stimulating Pain

At level 20, you become able to siphon your pain into direct defenses for yourself. Whenever you end a turn during which you have taken damage, you can use your reaction to gain temporary hit points equal to the single greatest instance of damage you took on that turn. These temporary hit points remain for 1 minute.

Temporal Mutation

Some psychics use their psionics to create beautiful music from memory, construct believable arguments, or create weaving tales of fiction from dozens of gleaned minds. These psychics gain incredible memories and can copy sounds and even incant spells with perfect precision. The temporal lobes of these psychics often are larger and connected to other parts of the brain or skull.

Temporal mutants can observe and learn spells from the Bard and Druid spell lists.

Limbic Mutation

Psionics can often be produced naturally, and are most often unlocked by incredible tragedy or rage. In most of these cases, the resulting psychics often cannot control their own emotions in combat and enter into a wild, dangerous trance that increases their physical and mental power. The limbic system of these psychics, particularly the amygdala, often fuse to other lobes such as the Frontal or Parietal lobes, making them more prominent in active reasoning.

Limbic mutants can observe and learn spells from the Warlock and Paladin spell lists.

Cerebellum Mutation

Psychic warriors or athletes often require intricate motor skills and physical detail, and can manifest a mutation that pushes this to the extreme. These psychics adopt a dexterous fighting style that weaves psionics into their weapon attacks, which slows their enemies down at the same time. The Cerebellum of these psychics often fuses down inside the spine, and causes faster and more precise movements.

Cerebellum mutants can observe and learn spells from the Druid and Ranger spell lists.

Puppeteer

At level 10, you gain advantage against abilities that cause the charmed or stunned conditions.

Additionally, whenever you deal psychic damage to a creature within 30 feet of you on your turn, you may use a bonus action to begin to manipulate their nervous system. That creature has disadvantage on any saving throw against the next spell you cast before the end of your next turn that either gives a creature a command, as with the Command or Crown of Madness spells, or any spell that charms the target.

Master Manipulator

At level 20, you have complete control over your own body and others. You are immune to the charmed and stunned conditions.

Additionally, as part of the same bonus action whenever you manipulate a creature’s nervous system with your Puppeteer feature, you may cast the Command spell on that same creature at 1st level without expending a spell slot. The creature has disadvantage on this spell as well as the next similar spell you cast on it.

Frontal Mutation

Those who actively seek out psionic power often do so to access knowledge and ancient truths of the world. These psychics gain enhanced supernatural abilities and unique conjuring abilities where they can predict and steal enemy intelligence. The frontal lobes of these psychics are often either a different color or even partially ethereal, magically enhancing their active consciousness.

Frontal mutants can observe and learn spells from the Wizard spell list.

Psionic Spell List

The Seer

A stout dwarf tips his flamboyant hat, his eyes flashing with some form of magic. The bandits slowly surround him, and step back as he throws out a few awkwardly shaped dice onto the ground in front of them. Their surprise quickly shifts to annoyance at the mundane cubes, then shifts even faster to terror as the dice glow and distort time and face around them into explosion of astral energy.

A pale halfling with round glasses kneels over a chained up child, the shadow demon that possess it growling and biting at him as he worked, raising his holy symbol and purging it back into the abyss.

A large human slams his mace against his shield, his beard stretching into a satisfied grin. As he charges towards the dragon, he reaches out to his allies, showing them each possible future- and they take the one towards victory.

Each of these adventurers are Seers, a sect of devout specialists who tap into the near-infinite web of possible futures, which they call the time flow. These rare chronomancers are both prophets and scientists, using their sight in practical ways to further thier goals and the goals of others around them.

Class Features

As a Seer, you gain the following class features.

Spell Slots

The Seer 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.

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

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know four 1st-level spells of your choice from the seer spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Seer table shows when you learn more seer spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

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

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your seer spells. Your magic comes from the training and devotion to finding your future. 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 seer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Game Master

Additionally at 2nd level, you learn an additional spell, based on one Gaming Kit that you are proficient with on the list below. This spell does not count against your Seer Spells Known and it is considered a Seer spell for you. You can only replace this spell with another spell on this list, and it must be associated with a gaming kit you are proficient with.

If the spell requires material components, you may cast it using only a standard Gaming set that it is associated with.

Gambler's Luck

Additionally at level 2, your extended study into the use of luck has granted you a special connection with that power. Whenever you complete a short rest, you may choose a targets equal to half your Seer's Luck, rounded up, to gain the Seer's Luck benefit. Any creatures with unused luck lose the benefit upon selecting a new target, as usual.

Change Hand

Beginning at level 6, you can begin to see into a creature's options and intentions, particularly when it comes to spellcasting. When a creature within 30 feet of you casts a spell, you know the name of the spell, and you may use your reaction to force the creature to roll a d20. On a 1, the spell fails and the spell slot is lost.

Trickster's Con

Beginning at level 14, you can see into an enemy's instantaneous future to shift their path onto another, less lucky path. When a creature within 60 feet of you who is effected by your Oracle Vision succeeds on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you may use your reaction to cause them to fail.

Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.

Shadow Game

Beginning at level 18, you have mastered an ancient technique of chance. When both you and another creature have taken a bet on something, you may use an action propose a shadow game. Proposing a shadow game entails telling all the rules to the bet and the stakes. A creature can refuse the shadow game, and if it does you do not need to wait until the next long rest to propose a new one. The stakes of a shadow game are intense, as the loser of the bet instantly suffers one ill effect of your choice, choosing from the list below. If a creature cheats in a shadow game and is caught by the other party, they immediately lose and suffer the consequences.

The Shadow Game lasts until the bet is complete, one party dies, or the bet is made impossible to complete. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until your current Shadow Game is completed and you have completed a long rest.

Life. Betting your life is amongst the oldest of the shadow games. When a creature loses this game, they are instantly killed. The winning party can choose for the soul to be sucked into a single object related to the game, usually a playing card or some other small object, to prevent raising the dead foe.

Wealth. Betting this does not only mean monetary wealth, but all wealth that the party has, including magical items, property, and monetary assets. Upon losing this bet, the loser becomes cursed and must give the winner all of these items, or any number of these items as specified in the bet, within the next week or suffer the effects of losing a life bet.

Truth. When you bet for the truth, you will grant the person insight into your mind. The loser is cursed, and while they are cursed they must truthfully answer all questions asked to them by the winner. This curse can be dispelled by a 9th-level remove curse or wish spell.

Your DM might allow you to outline your own stakes to a Shadow Game.

The Medium

Some Seers specialize in channeling the voices of the dead, allowing them to put spirits and minds to rest. However, if a spirit is evil or unwilling to pass on, Mediums will just as easily fight and banish them, which is where they earn their second name- the Exorcist.

Aura of Soul Protection

Beginning at 6th level, you emit a faint 10 foot aura of protective energy around you. Any creature of your choice within that aura is immune to being possessed or charmed by undead, fiends, or celestials. No one gains this benefit if you are incapacitated.

At 18th level, this aura increases to 30 feet.

Reveal Secrets

Beginning at level 14, you have become attuned to the ethereal. You gain truesight out to 10 feet.

At 18th level, you gain truesight out to 30 feet.

Channel Location

Beginning at level 18, you may expend one use of Oracle Vision to begin to channel the latent spiritual energies of a given area. After completing a 1 minute ritual, you may designate a room, building, town, or similarly sized area to be the focus of your Channel Location.

When you channel a location, you can see it as it was in the past, and you can see past events in spectral re-enactments around you. You may choose a single scene you know played out in this area, and you can discover how that scene truely played out. Alternatively, you may choose a single creature that you have seen before. You instead see the last time that creature passed through this location. You know how long ago these visions are, but you don't neccesarily know who the creatures in your visions are except by context clues.

You can channel a location multiple times, but you cannot channel the same vision more than once. If a creature was hidden from divination magic during the scene that you are seeing, that creature is removed from the scene when you play it back.

The Tactician

Some Seers begin to train in their martial prowess, so that they may better lead their allies in battle. These seers are often warrior-prophets or advisors to military generals or warlords.

Seer Spell List

° Spells from Caraman's Tome of Lost Skill

The

Fisherman

" Fluid martial arts is a type of martial art that reads a weapon's movements and ruins it using Shinsu. The same goes for your sword's movement. If I can read it, I can dodge it." - Boro, D-Class Regular.

A human soldier runs across the battlefield, pulling out yet another blade from a small, extradimensional armory. He blocks a heavy blow from a greataxe, then slams back with twice the force, forcing the Orc general clean off his mount.

An elven woman sits by her allies blocking the monster's attacks as they deflect off of her weapon. Needle in hand, she calls over to her allies, warning them of its attacks and tactics.

A dwarven man stands in front of a huge serpent which coils and shifts in the air. Laughing, he rushes forwards, a huge hook in both his hands. The serpent slams into him, but he continues forwards, slamming the beast back into the ground.

Fisherman are warriors who balance a fine weapon training with advanced training in Shinsu manipulation. Using the Shinsu around them to block and deflect the most harmful blows, they absorb impacts to give back later. Defensive masters, a Fisherman might not hit first, but he'll always hit last.

Creating a Fisherman

The most important question when creating a fisherman is how they got thier training. More trained in the classical arts of swordplay than most of the denizens of the Tower of God, fishermen are inherently more physically adept. Did they train for this for years? Or perhaps they were found and imbued with special power by an outside force or administrator? Regardless of the reason, the physical prowess fo your fisherman is thier most important aspect.

Class Features

As a fisherman, you gain the following class features, along with any granted by your background.

Pocket Armory

When you declare your class as a Fisherman, the Tower grants you access to a Pocket Armory. This is a small demiplane in which you can store weapons and armor. You can use a bonus action to call or dismiss the Armory, and a free action to remove or stow 1 weapon or shield from it. Armor is too cumbersome and requires an Use an Object action to move.

You can store a number of weapons or armor equal to your Wisdom Modifier + half your Fisherman level (min. 1) in the Pocket. You can store shields and armor, but the times for donning and doffing these still apply. You cannot summon this Armory in another Extradimensional space, or in the Ethereal Plane. You cannot place any object that contains an extradimensional space, such as a bag of holding or a portable hole inside any Pocket.

Beginning at level 10, you may switch a set of armor, a shield, or a weapon that you are holding or wearing with objects inside your Pocket Armory as a bonus action, magically equipping them to you. When you do so, you may also break attunement to any number of magical objects and immediately attune to an object you have drawn from your Pocket Armory. If an object has a requirement other than a short rest to attune or break your attunement to it, you must still fulfill that requirement as normal. Once you use this aspect of this feature, you must wait until you complete a short or long rest to use it again.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, you adopt a particular fighting style 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.

Shinsu Control

You gain the ability to control the Shinsu in your body and around you, allowing you to perform physical and magical tasks impossible by others. You gain Control dice equal to your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier (min. 1). These Control Die are d4s, and can be used to produce different effects, called Control Maneuvers, in combat based on your Stance. You can use a Control Maneuver out of combat only if you know the prerequisite Stance for it. Combat Maneuvers are all listed at the end of the class description.

Fisherman Symbol

At 3rd level, you begin to refine your physical strength and control of Shinsu by adopting a symbol. These symbols reflect both the origin of their Shinsu control or training and their resolve to gain further power.

There are 3 Fisherman Symbols, the Symbol of Ignition, the Symbol of the King, and the Symbol of Perfection. You gain features and an additional Stance from your Symbol at 3rd level, as well as 9th, 15th, and 18th levels.

Shinsu Bond

At 3rd level, while you are in any Stance and wielding a weapon you are proficient in, you cannot be disarmed of that weapon while you are conscious.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

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

Quick Switch

At 7th level, you can switch stances on demand. Whenever another creature ends their turn, you can choose to switch to another Stance that you know. This occurs before any Legendary Actions occur.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus, recovering any expended uses after you complete a short or long rest.

Focused Stance

At 11th level, you learn a to adjust your movements to adjust your Stance for a small amount of time. You can enter into a Focused Stance as a bonus action on your turn when you are already in a Basic Stance. While in a Focused Stance, you gain a +2 bonus to melee weapon damage, you still retain the benefits from your Basic Stance you are in, and you gain an additional benefit based on the Basic Stance you are focusing. This bonus to melee damage increases to +3 at level 17.

You maintain your advanced stance for 1 minute, or until you fall unconscious or either drop it or change your basic Stance as a bonus action. If a Focused Stance requires a saving throw, use your Shinsu Control save DC.

You may activate your Focused Stance twice, regaining expended uses after a long rest. You can use it three times between rests beginning at level 17.

Thunderous Flurry. At the end of any turn while you are in a Focused Fencer Stance during which you have hit a single creature at least twice using only melee weapon attacks, that creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, taking 1d6 thunder damage per attack that hit on a failure or half as much thunder damage on a success.

Adamantine Hide. While using a Focused Steel Guard Stance, whenever creature a you can see hits you with an attack, you may use your reaction to reflect that attack onto them. They must succeed on a Dexterity Saving throw or the attack fails and they take the full damage of the attack, but no other effect occurs that may be attached to the attack. If they succeed, you both take half the damage of the attack and you are affected by any other effects it might have.

Bloodlust. While using a Focused Hunter Stance, you also gain a bonus to hit equal to the amount of which you lowered your armor class.

Slow Time. Once per round, while you are using a Focused Reactive Stance, you may choose to use a special Action at the end of another creature's turn. You must declare this at the beginning of that creature's turn. This special action occurs before any Legendary Actions.

When you do so, you may only take the Dash, Help, or Attack actions. You may only take one melee weapon attack as part of this special Attack action.

Mechanus Trance. While using a Focused Balanced Stance, your mind narrows and ignores distracting stimuli. The Balanced die roll increases to 12 + any weapon or skill bonuses, and you are immune to the charmed or frightened states until you exit this Focused Stance.

Reel Inventory. While using a Focused Reel Stance, you adjust your Pocket Armory to cause a small flurry of Reels to fly out, with any weapons inside of the inventory attached to them. When you take the Attack action, you can choose to attack with any weapon inside your Pocket Armory, each gaining the normal Reel benefits. Additionally, you can attack three times instead of two when you take the Attack action, so long as you make each attack with a different Reel weapon.

Allied Angler. While using a Focused Lure Stance, when an ally you can see is attacking a creature within 5 feet of your Lure lights and the target creature is being effected by the lights, you may use your reaction to grant your Wisdom modifier to your ally's attack roll. You may do this after you have seen their roll but not before you have seen their results.

Soul Well

At 20th level, you have the strength of the Tower behind you, and you can use use an action to tap into your innate strength to recover all expended Shinsu Control dice.

Once you use this ability, you must complete a long rest before you can do so again.

Fisherman Symbol

Fishermen eventually end up finding a symbol to hearken to, whether it is a physical change in their bodies due to the unpredictable nature of Shinsu, or if it is a goal or ambition they strive to achieve. A fisherman can only truly determine their symbol after testing techniques and fighting styles, which is why they only need to choose a Symbol at level 3.

Elemental Affinity

Also at 3rd level, you begin to receive some defenses from your family's fighting styles. You gain resistance to one damage type of your choice, choosing from acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder.

Additionally, you can choose for your weapon attacks to deal your chosen element of damage, instead of their regular form of damage.

Quality Manifestation

At 9th level, you can use a bonus action to manifest a refined form of your Shinsu. You create a single melee weapon of your choice that you are proficient in a free hand, crafted of your chosen element from your Elemental Affinity feature. You may use your Strength, Dexterity, or Wisdom modifiers for your attack and damage rolls with this weapon, they always deal damage equal to your Control Dice, and the damage type is always the same as your chosen Elemental Affinity. Your Quality Manifestation disappears after you let go of it or if you drop concentration, as if you were concentrating on a spell.

If you use your action to activate a Shinsu Control Maneuver while holding your Quality Manifestation weapon, you may use a bonus action to make a single melee attack with it against a target within range.

Elemental Perfection

At 15th level, you become immune to the damage type chosen by your Elemental Affinity.

Internal Quality Control

At 18th level, whenever you deal damage to a creature with your Quality Manifestation weapon, you can choose for them make a Constitution saving throw against your Shinsu Control save DC or suffer one of the effects below. You can only use this ability once per turn.

• They take an additional amount of your elemental affinity damage equal to your Control Dice.
• They have disadvantage on the next saving throw they would make before the end of their next turn that would deal your elemental affinity damage on a failed save.
• They are pushed 15 feet away from you.

Symbol of Perfection

Some fishermen hone their skills to a fine point, choosing to focus on their chosen weapon above all. Their honed senses and swift strikes wear down opponents over time, often taking advantage of other warriors' blasting styles of fighting.

More often than not, Perfection Fishermen will choose to use their specific weapon as their symbol, or symbols of a mythical creature such as a dragon or deepfish to represent their ferocity.

Control Maneuvers

While you are in a certain stance, you may use any Control Maneuver that that Stance can perform. You may use any Control Maneuver outside of combat if you know a prerequisite Stance.

If a Control Maneuver has different prerequisites, you must fulfill them all before you can use the maneuver. Any level prerequisites are your Fisherman level, not your total level.

Phoenix Sweetfish

As an Action, you can spend at least 2 Control Dice to summon a small, flaming fish above a willing creature's head, which remains there for 1 minute, until you enter a non-attributed Stance, or until you lose concentration, as if concentrating on a spell. Whenever the character with the ends a turn and had lost any hit points since the end of their last turn, they recover hit points equal to one control dice. If the character with the sweetfish falls to 0 hit points, the sweetfish bursts into a retaliatory burst of fire, causing anyone within 5 feet of the fallen character (but not the unconscious character) to make a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 + the control dice spent fire damage. The effect then ends.

Shinsu Bubble

As an Action, you may spend any number of Control dice to produce a translucent, shimmering bubble of Shinsu in a 10 foot radius around you, which moves with you and passes through all barriers. Creatures on the inside of the bubble are warded from hostile effects from the outside- when such an effect would force a creature inside to make a saving throw, they can choose to bolster themselves by adding one Control Dice to their result. When the bubble has been used to bolster saving throws equal to the number of control dice spent to create it, the effect ends. The bubble is also destroyed if you change Stance or are incapacitated.

Spirit Sword

As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend 2 Control Dice to infuse a weapon you are holding with spiritual Shinsu. For 1 minute, until you enter an non-attributed Stance or until you lose concentration, as if concentrating on a spell, your attacks with that weapon do not have disadvantage to attack targets you cannot see and can attack targets on the ethereal plane.

Tying Twenty Threads

When you hit a creature with a Reel weapon, you may expend at least 1 Control Dice. You deal the additional weapon damage equal to the expended Control Dice, and the creature must succeed on a Dexterity Saving Throw or have their speed is reduced by 5 feet per control dice spent until the end of your next turn.

Wave Attunement

You spend at least one Control Die to cast any Wave Controller cantrip. You can add the Control Dice spent to the first damage roll against the first enemy hit by this cantrip. Once you cast a cantrip using this Maneuver, you cannot cast a different cantrip through this Maneuver until you complete a short or long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for this cantrip.

The Light Bearer

A human walks with a small adventuring party, a strange device in his hand. He waves the device around, and a light pours down from above, every member of the party glowing with power. They charge forwards, the human’s light and guidance bolstering their attacks as they cut through a horde of enemies.

An elf sits in a high cliff, waiting for his enemy to step into his trap. He waves his hand, causing a purple light to pour from several sources around him. To his enemy’s dismay, he finds himself trapped and unable to move, completely at the mercy of the caster.

A halfling stands at the back of a group, watching the two armies fight each other in the light of his magic. He chants something, and fire erupts within the blue light, setting dozens of enemies in a blaze and turning the tide of battle.

Light Bearers are logical controllers of prismatic Shinsu. They use the Shinsu extended from their own bodies to cast magic and control pieces of glowing Floatstone called Lighthouses. Excelling in controlling the battlefield, a Lighthouse is a versatile and adaptive tool, with several uses including trapping the enemy, bolstering your allies, and revealing the unknown. Light Bearers are often leaders of conventional parties, their range allowed by the Lighthouse so that they never have to enter the battle head on. They can coordinate with their allies via communication from their Lighthouse’s spotlight, a Light Bearer is completely in control of any situation in its light. Originally from the inner Tower of God, where the practice of Shinsu control originates, Light Bearers were regaled as leaders of testing parties.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Light Bearer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these light bearer spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of light bearer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the light bearer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of light bearer spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your light bearer level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level light bearer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of light bearer spells requires time spent readjusting your control over Shinsu and studying the world around you: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your light bearer spells. Your magic comes from natural cunning and logical understanding of Shinsu. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a light bearer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Ritual Casting

You can cast any light bearer spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus or your lighthouse controller as a spellcasting focus for your light bearer spells.

Pocket Inventory

At level 1, when you declare your class as a light bearer, you gain access to a Pocket Inventory, which allows you to store items, but not weapons or armor, in a small, extradimensional space that can be opened at will. This inventory can store items that are no more than 5 lbs in each slot. You have slots equal to your Light Bearer level + your Intelligence modifier.

Any living object put into a Pocket Inventory is immediately shunted out to the nearest, unoccupied space, taking 1d6 force damage for every 5 ft traveled. You can call and retrieve one item from the Pocket Inventory as a bonus action. Any magic item takes up two slots, a legendary magic item or an artifact takes four slots. A potion generally will take up one half of a spot, and you can store an indefinite amount of currency or other small items (up to 5 lbs) in one slot.

You cannot summon this Pocket in another Extradimensional space, with the exception of inside your lighthouse, or in the Ethereal Plane. You cannot place any object that contains an extradimensional space, such as a bag of holding or a portable hole inside any Pocket.

Floatstone Style

At level 2, you craft your first Lighthouse, an small, arcane Construct that can float and be manipulated in Shinsu, and can emit its own magical light. You choose between three forms of Floatstone, which alters the function of your Lighthouse, allowing you to choose different statistics for your lighthouse at 2nd level and grants you additional features at levels 7 and 15.

Additionally, your choice Floatstone grants additional spells at certain Light Bearer levels that you always have prepared. These Floatstone spells, even if not on they are not on the Light Bearer spell list, are nonetheless considered Light Bearer spells to you, and they do not count against your total Prepared Spells.

Lighthouse Control

Also at level 2, you learn how to control and manipulate your newly crafted lighthouse. You also craft a lighthouse controller, and can use it to control your own lighthouse while you are holding it in one hand. The appearance of this item is generally a small rod or remote, but it can look however the player chooses, within reason. Your lighthouse controller can be used as your Arcane Focus for all your Light Bearer spells. At the end of a short rest, you can create a new lighthouse controller, after which your previous controller crumbles into sparkling dust. The Lighthouses page at the end of this list determines how the Lighthouse acts during combat and its game statistics.

Your lighthouse controller has a 30 foot range where it can control your lighthouse. If your lighthouse leaves that area, which is your Controller Range, it is incapacitated, its movement speed is 0, and it falls to the ground until it enters your Controller Range again.

The Spotlight

Your lighthouse's main function is to produce a cone of magical, bright light conjured by Shinsu. This cone extends for 30 feet and has a 10 foot radius. A lighthouse's spotlight is always conical (creating a circle on a flat surface), and appears only when it is not incapacitated. As a free action at the beginning of your turn, you may choose to point the spotlight in any direction. If the spotlight fully hits a flat surface, such as the ground or a wall, it adjusts itself to always be of its conical width, regardless of its distance from the surface. If you do not tell the spotlight where to point, it will point down after 1 minute.

You can turn any number of your lighthouses' spotlights off or on as a bonus action. Your lighthouse, even if it is an extradimensional space due to a modification or other feature, can be stored in your pocket inventory for no slots. Your lighthouses are always considered in your spotlight, unless they are incapacitated.

Tactician

At level 3, you can coordinate and assist your allies's tactical maneuvers with your lighthouse. As a bonus action, you can choose up to two creatures within your lighthouses spotlights. You can telepathically communicate with those creatures so long as they remain within your spotlight, and they can communicate with each other if you will it. If one of those creatures leaves the spotlight, their telepathic link is broken, and you must use a bonus action once they are back within the spotlight to re-apply it.

So long as you are holding your lighthouse controller, you can use a bonus action to see in your mind whatever is happening in your lighthouses’ spotlights from the perspective of that lighthouse until the beginning of your next turn.

Enhanced Control

At level 5, you can invest magical energy into your Lighthouses during your turn. When you do so, you can spend a spell slot whose level is no higher than your proficiency bonus as a bonus action. One of your lighthouses can then take their Enhanced Action in their game statistics.

Lighthouse Modifications

At levels 6, 10, 14, and 18, you tinker and modify your Lighthouse to suit your needs better. These features are all the extra utilities you can apply to a lighthouse. When you gain this feature, choose one Modification from the list of lighthouse modifications at the end of the class description.

At the end of a long rest, you can apply one of your Modifications to each of your Lighthouses. You can apply the same Modification to every lighthouse, but each lighthouse can only have one at a time.

The Extend Range Modification and Extend Spotlight Modifications are exceptions, and both apply to all your lighthouses at the same time, and do not count against the amount of Modifications that your lighthouse can have.

Some modifications have prerequisites, such as another Modification, a specific type of Floatstone, or a certain light bearer level. You must fulfill these prerequisites to gain a modification. You cannot retake the same modification twice in one level.

Whenever you gain a light bearer level, you may replace one modification for another that you can learn. If this modification is a prerequisite to another modification you know, you must also replace that modification with another you can learn.

Multitasker

At 9th level, you enhance your control of Shinsu and control 1 more lighthouse. This lighthouse has the same Floatstone Style as your other lighthouse(s).

You can move your lighthouses through each other. During your rests, you can heal both lighthouses per hour.

You create more lighthouses as you gain levels. You gain a third lighthouse at level 13, and a fourth lighthouse at level 17.

Control Room

At 11th level, you adjust the inside of your lighthouse to act as a portable center of command for your party. As an action, you can enter or leave a 10 foot cube demiplane inside one lighthouse that is within 5 ft of you. You can move your lighthouse with the same distance as your move speed in any direction while doing so, and you are considered to be in the same space as your lighthouse for the purposes of your lighthouse controller radius and controlling other lighthouses.

You can see and talk only through your Tactician feature, though in your Control Room you can always see through your lighthouses' spotlight without having to use your bonus action. You cannot cast spells except with the Remote Spellcasting modification.

If your lighthouse that you are inhabiting takes any damage, you must make a Dexterity save equal to half the damage sustained or 10, whichever is higher, or be forced out into a random, adjacent space within 5 feet of it. Creatures cannot enter your lighthouse's demiplane except by means of the demiplane spell or similar magic. If your lighthouse is broken while you are inside of it, you take 1d6 bludgeoning damage plus an addtional 1d6 bludgeoning damage per Light Bearer level, and you are ejected from it as with a failed Dexterity save.

A lighthouse with someone inside cannot be put into a Pocket Inventory, and although you can call your Pocket Inventory inside your Control Room, the demiplane breaks if you pull out a stored lighthouse or bring another extradimensional space, such as a bag of holding or portable hole inside of it. Your lighthouse breaks in that instance and you take damage and are ejected as normal.

Opera

At level 20, you craft an Opera, the most powerful lighthouse controller of all. There are very few in existence, and even fewer people with enough power over Shinsu to control them. With an Opera, your Spotlight increases its radius by 20 ft and can increase the radius at which you can control your lighthouse by 50 feet.

Floatstone Types

Floatstone Spells

These spells are always prepared, and you gain new ones at levels 2, 5, 8, 12, and 16. If the spell is not a Light Bearer spell, it is nonetheless considered a Light Bearer spell when you use it.

Bonus Cantrip

At level 2, you tap into some of the unique form of shinsu manipulation of a Wave Controller. Choose 1 cantrip from the Wave Controller spell list. You learn that cantrip and can cast it while holding your lighthouse controller, and it is considered a light bearer spell for you.

Focused Glow

At level 7, as an Action, you can narrow the spotlight of one of your lighthouses on a single creature, which remains that way until you use a bonus action to make its spotlight normal again. While focused on a single creature, the spotlight only illuminates their space , and if they move, they must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or the lighthouse will follow them as if tethered by a 30 foot cord, although it can still be deactivated if they move it out of your controller range.

A creature who is focused by your lighthouse is always considered to be in range for your light bearer spells, unless they have a range of Self. If you have multiple lighthouses, you may attach them and detach them to the same or separate creatures as part of the same Action or bonus action. If a creature has multiple lighthouses attached to them, they must make a Dexterity save for each lighthouse to break free of each one when they move.

Triangulate

At level 15, whenever you have at least 3 of your lighthouse spotlights focused on a single creature, you can choose to gain advantage on any spell attack roll against that creature or give them disadvantage against any saving throw caused by a spell you make.

You can use this ability twice, regaining all expended uses after completing a long rest.

Lighthouse Modifications

Ethereal Floatstone

Your lighthouse can freely pass through creatures without drawing attacks of opportunity.

Additionally, the spotlight of your lighthouse makes creatures with the Incorporeal Movement feature more tangible, removing any slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning resistances they might have and barring them from moving through physical objects using that feature.

Manipulation

As an action, you can mentally manipulate a simple object inside of your lighthouse's spotlight such as a lever or a door, or to move one item less than 10 lbs in any direction to a point within your spotlight. You cannot attack or exert fine motor control with this item.

Area Control

Prerequisite: Wave Floatstone Style
Whenever you cast a spell with a harmful area of effect, you can designate up to 3 creatures within your spotlight that you can see to be unaffected by the spell.

Self Destruct

When your lighthouse is broken, it discharges a surge of electricity in a cone facing in a direction you choose when it breaks. The cone is the same length and width as your spotlight's cone.

Every creature in the cone must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw. They take 2d4 lightning damage, or half as much on a successful save. This damage increases by 1d4 per every light bearer level past second.

Radiant Glow

As a bonus action on your turn, choose a single creature you can see within your spotlight. Until the beginning of your next turn, that creature’s weapon attacks are considered magical, and they deal an additional 1d4 radiant damage on a hit.

Extend Spotlight

Through extensive testing, you increase the width of your spotlight by 10 ft and increase the length of the cone by 20 feet. This applies to all lighthouses, and can be used along with another Modification on those Lighthouses.

Lighthouses

Your lighthouses use the following statistics dependent on your Floatstone Style.

In combat, your lighthouse shares your Initiative and can act and move in any combination with yourself, but can only take the Disengage, Dodge, or Dash actions unless you take an Action while holding your Lighthouse Controller to command any number of your Lighthouses to take one of its Actions, except for its Enhanced Action, which can only be taken using the Enhanced Control feature at level 5.

Light Bearer Spell List

The Scout

A human dashed into combat at breakneck speeds, a sonic boom thundering behind him as he slams a black needle into the hag’s side, transferring his momentum into striking power.

A halfling man sneaks through the darkness, squinting at the group of orcs. Calling on a their hovering observer, they float it over past them, realizing that the marching horde is more powerful than they first thought.

A goliath woman in light armor dashed towards the hobgoblin mage, slashing upwards and cutting their enchantment off of their armor, then speaking a word of power and transferring the buff to her ally, to the goblinoid’s dismay.

Masters of stealth and speed, Scouts channel the flow of Shinsu around them to cause sonic slipstreams that they can move swiftly through. Using a combination of technological prowess with their Observer drones and their inherent skill with thieves tools. In this way, Scouts act as the midpoint of all Tower parties, assisting the Fisherman in the frontlines, but then dashing backwards to assist the Light Bearer in the back when they get in danger. As such, as a jack of all trades, Scouts are the most varied and adaptable of all the Shinsu controllers.

Class Features

As a Scout, you gain the following class features.

Expertise

You may choose two skill proficiencies you have. You double your Proficiency Bonus whenever you use a check that uses these skills.

At 6th level, you may choose an additional two skill proficiencies to benefit from expertise.

Scout's Movement

At 2nd level, you may move much swifter to accommodate your sonic power. While you are not in difficult terrain, not wearing medium or heavy armor, grappled, or otherwise significantly impeded (such as having to use extra movement per foot of movement speed while climbing, prone, or swimming), your movement speed increases by 15 feet.

At higher levels, this movement increase improves. At 5th level, it increases to 25 feet, at 11th level, it increases to 35 feet, and at 16th level, it increases to 45 feet.

Sonic Shift

Also at 2nd level, when you deal Sonic Dash damage to an enemy with an attack, you may choose to teleport away from them to an unoccupied space on the ground you can see within 10 feet of the creature you dealt the Sonic Dash damage to.

At 10th level, you can Shift up to 15 feet when you use this ability. At 18th level, you can Shift up to 20 feet.

Mentor

At 3rd level, you begin to practice some specific techniques of a way of scouting, called your Scout Mentor. Choose one Mentor of your choice from: the Acrobat, the Skulker, and the Saboteur. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Defensive Movement

Beginning at 5th level, you can begin to deflect attacks that target you. When you are targeted by an attack from a creature you can see, you may use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack. If they miss their attack, you may then immediately move up to half your movement speed away from them in a direct line. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

You may not use this ability while grappled, while you are in difficult terrain, or against a creature with the Sentinel feat.

Prepared Resistance

At 7th level, you may focus Ki to prepare yourself to dodge a specific form of danger. When you complete a short or long rest, you may choose a single Saving Throw. You gain proficiency in this Saving Throw if you did not already have it, and when you fail this Saving Throw, you may use your reaction to double your proficiency bonus for it for that roll only, potentially changing the results.

Once you double your proficiency with this ability once, you must wait until you complete a short or long rest before you can do so again.

Skilled Foresight

At 11th level, you may begin to focus on Shinsu to change the future results of your actions. Whenever you complete a long rest, you may roll three d20s and record them. Whenever you fail an ability check that you are proficient in, you may choose to use one of the d20s to gain the score rolled on the long rest or to grant advantage to the roll.

You may reroll these d20s and thus regain this ability’s expended uses after completing a long rest.

Step of the Air

At level 14, whenever you move in a straight line on your turn, you may choose to fly. You stop flying and fall if you change direction while in the air, if you stop, or if you take damage while moving.

Step of the Stars

At 18th level, whenever you begin to move, you may choose to use a bonus action to become partially ethereal, with a starry sheen around you. You have resistance to all damage while this sheen exists around you, which ends at the end of your next turn. You may move through non-magical difficult terrain, liquids, and other creatures with no difficulty, and you do not draw attacks of opportunity from other creatures while in this state.

You may use this ability twice, regaining both uses when you complete a long rest.

Adrenaline Pulse

Beginning at level 20, whenever you roll initiative for the first time in a combat, your movement speed is doubled for that turn only, and you have advantage on all attack rolls made during that turn.

Mentors

Every Scout is paired with another for training and safety, as going ahead of the floor parties and out of the Lighthouse’s protection can be dangerous alone. These pairings, known as Mentor pairs, often decide the style of Scout they take on, even if they later become separated. Eventually, these different styles became distinct schools of combat, and even those Scouts who never had Mentor pairs can hearken back to these basic archetypes.

Transfer Boon

Beginning at 9th level, whenever you see a creature cast a beneficial spell on one of their allies within 60 feet of you, you may use your reaction to make a contested Intelligence (Arcana) roll against their Intelligence (Arcana) roll. If you succeed, you may move the spell to one of your own allies within 60 feet of yourself. If the spell requires concentration, you must concentrate on it as if you had cast the spell.

Breaker

Beginning at 13th level, you can choose to create a powerful break in any magical character’s casting capabilities. If a creature breaks their Concentration to damage you have caused, they cannot cast spells of the same type as they just lost Concentration on, apart from cantrips, until the end of their next turn.

The Spear Bearer

A tall lizardfolk raises a bone javelin, focusing on the giant far ahead of him. Twisting, chaotic Shinsu wraps around his weapon as he launches it further than javelin should travel, exploding in dark energy when it hits. To the giant’s confusion, the lizardfolk appears on its leg, clutching the spear and ready to stab out again.

A woman narrowly dodges the Gnoll’s arrow as she knocks her own back into her longbow and fires it at the wall beside the war band. A golden portal opens up and thousands of Ethereal Spears explode from it, skewering a half dozen gnolls.

A stout halfling holds up his jagged lance as he charges towards the bandit camp, the armored wolf who serves as his mount growling as they leap towards the terrified highwaymen.

Masters of chaotic Shinsu and thrown weapons, Spear Bearers fulfill dozens of roles in Tower combat. Able to launch their spears with staggering power, these stalwart warriors can infuse their spears with spells and Infusion magic to produce variable effects.

Quick Build

You can make a Spear Bearer quickly by following these suggestions. First, Strength should be your highest ability score, followed by your Wisdom modifier. Next, choose the Soldier or Outlander background.

Class Features

As a Spear Bearer, you gain these following features.

Powerful Throw

By reinforcing your attacks with Shinsu Control and general increased strength, you can launch a thrown weapon at over much further range. Any time you attack with a Thrown Weapon, your first range increment is increased by 5 feet x your Spear Bearer level, and your second range increment is increased by 10 feet x your Spear Bearer level.

Additionally, when you throw a weapon at an enemy who is within your first range increment and who has one of your allies within 5 feet of them, you gain advantage on your attack roll.

Beginning at 14th level, you no longer have disadvantage within your second range increment if the target your attack has one of your allies within 5 feet of them, and you always gain advantage whenever your target is within your first increment.

Pocket Quiver

When you are determined a Spear Bearer, the floor administrator grants you a special Pocket Quiver, which you can use to store ammunition and polearms or other thrown weapons. There are as many slots in your Armory as equals your Wisdom modifier + half your Spear Bearer level (rounded down). Each slot is a cylindrical tube that can hold either a single polearm that is no longer than 10 feet long, up to three javelins, or 20 pieces of ammunition. Each slot holds a maximum weight of 10 lbs.

You can summon your Quiver as a bonus action on your turn, and draw a single slot's worth of items during that bonus action. Dismissing your armory is a free action. You can summon your Quiver in any plane except the Ethereal or Border Ethereal plane.

Beginning at level 5, any weapon drawn from the Quiver is considered magical for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction or immunity. This property is lost as soon as 1 minute passes or once it hits an enemy, becoming mundane once again.

Fighting Style

At 2nd 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 you later get to choose again.

Spellcasting

By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use the inherent power of Shinsu around you to manipulate spell-like effects. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Spear Bearer spell list.
