Path of the Bladestorm

Barbarians are notorious for being engines of destruction on the battlefield, and for none is this more an apt description than those that have chosen the Path of the Bladestorm. They are barbarians whose rage is such a transcendent force that their very weapons are restless embodiments of their destructive wrath.

When a Path of the Bladestorm Barbarian walks unto a battlefield, those unprepared to withstand the rain of sharp steel ought to run away and hide until the storm passes. The ones who stay will have to face the winds of destruction and will soon be drenched by flying droplets of blood as the barbarian at the center of the maelstrom smashes, hacks and slashes at the strength of primal winds.

Woe to the foe who would stand before the storm.

Path of the Dragon [v1.1]

Barbarians tap into primal powers, and a Barbarian of this path taps into one of the most ancient and primeval of them all: the power of dragons.

Some say this path was born during the Dracorage by mortals tapping into the primal rage as it washed across the world, others say that only those with latent dragon blood coursing through them can walk this path. What all can agree on is the result is a being to be feared.

As with most Barbarian, ones following this path tend toward Chaos, as they contain potent destructive power that paces at the edges of the cage, just waiting to be unleashed. Some, particularly those rare individuals that channel metallic colors, may be exceptions to this tendency.

Metallic Dragons

The chromatic dragons are typically more connected to the primal powers of wrath that the Path of the Dragon invokes, but your DM may let you select metallic colors as well for your dragonform.

In such a case, the colors still map to the resistances and breath weapon types as the actual kinds of dragons do.

College of Requiems [v1.1]

Bards of the College of Requiem are not peddlers of entertainment to the living, but those that play to a far more more challenging audiance - the dead. Laying them rest or inciting them a last act of retribution, these bard's weave a Performance that enthralls the souls of the departed.

Some such souls are filled with compassion and can grant succor to the living, while others are filled with wrath existing only to violent rebuke those that have not yet joined their lifeless ranks; this college's members weave and ply those spirits to act, tormenting their foes and bringing salvation to their allies.

Street Swagger

When you join the College of Lyrical Genius at 3rd level, your gain proficiency with Deception and Intimidation. If you already proficiency with a skill you can select another of your choice.

If you are making a Deception check to lie about your hit points, AC, or general toughness, you gain advantage on that check.

Lyrical Flow

Starting at 3rd level, when your land a line, you're on a roll; when you cast vicious mockery if the target fails their saving throw you can expend a Bardic Inspiration to unleash your lyrical genius to...

Engrandize Yourself: Roll the Bardic Inspiration die and gain temporary hit points equal to that + the damage dealt by vicious mockery.

Double Down: Roll the inspiration die and the target takes additional damage equal to amount rolled, and has disadvantage for an additional attack from vicious mockery.

Make it Personal: If the target attempts to attack anyone besides you until the start of their next turn, you can roll a die equal to your inspiration die and subtract it from their attack roll.

Sick Burns

Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell that deals Psychic damage, you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that spell.

Additionally, as a reaction to the end of an incapacitation effect another creature suffered form one of your spells or to them missing an attack from the disadvantage caused by your vicious mockery, you can deal a verbally devastating follow up dealing Psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier.

Lingo of the People

Additionally at 6th level, your ability to communicate transcends barriers of language. You can communicate basic concepts to creatures that don't share a language with you as long that creature speaks at least one language through intonation, body language, gestures, attitude, and swaggering about.

Using this method you can get information such as how much something should cost, where a notable locations are, who the toughest person or thing around is, where the best intoxicants are served, what might be edible, and which paths or alleyways should be avoided, as well other things your DM might find appropriate for you to be able to learn from them.

You also gain the ability to read these basic concepts from written thieves' cant.

Spitting Fire

Starting at 14th level, your can deliver verbal components to spells with blinding speed and precision. You can expend a use of Bardic Inspiration to cast a spell with the cast time of one action as a bonus action as long as it only has verbal components.

Additionally, you learn the cantrip message, and can cast it as a bonus action.

College of Lyrical Genius Quirks

The following are some optional quirks for a player of this College to choose from.

Judgment Domain

A Judgment Domain cleric is a cleric who oversees the distribution of law and order. The may do so in the name Justice itself, or in service to a particular face of justice, be that a lawful god - such as Tyr, Forseti, Helm, Torm, Ilmater... or even Bane, for those that dispense the Iron Fist of Tyranny the World might need - or at the behest of an institution of justice in the land.

Employing a Justice Domain cleric is something that any ruling power must consider carefully. While they are almost always Lawful to the extreme, they answer only to their own, higher, ideals of justice.

Circle of the Spirits

A circle of the spirits druid, frequently called a spirit shifter, is a druid that has attuned themselves to the celestial aspects of beasts, tapping into their fundamental nature, calling up certain aspects of wilderness and embodying them in spirit. A druid of this circle can be said to wildshape their soul, rather than their body.

Druids of this circle must walk a fine line, as it can be easy for them to delve too deeply into the powerful and savage states of mind they enter, but these magical aspects grant them both unique power and perspective as they walk the world, seeing the world through the eyes of the bestial spirits that boil within them.

Circle of the Sun

Druids revere aspects aspects of nature, and none is more central the cycle of life than the sun, origin of light and life. Druids of this circle are not clerics of the god of the sun, but represent it's aspect in the cycle of life, the light and heat and it brings, the fiery radiance with which it reigns over the world.

Druids of the Circle often stand in opposition that with crawls through the dark, that which corrupts in the absence of light, and while still inclined to the neutrality many Druids uphold, they tend to swing further the extremes of passion and action, willing to burn away the rot. Though they might aim for a controlled burn, a controlled burn may often be more destructive than a simple pruning.

Circle of the Woad Features

Circle Spells

At 2nd level, you learn the shillelagh cantrip. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of the Woad Spells table.

Woad Shape

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain an alternate use for Wild Shape. As a bonus action, you assume a treelike form, covered in leaves and bark, which lasts up to one hour, or until you end it as a bonus action or until you are incapacitated.

You gain the following properties when you transform:

• Your size becomes Large. Your attacks gain the Reach property.
• Any speed you have becomes 15 feet, unless the speed was lower.
• You gain a natural weapon that is a club under the effect of shillelagh. While in this form, you can target any weapon you are carrying with shillelagh.
• You can make a Wisdom (Athletics) check to initiate, maintain, or contest a grapple, and have hands (in the form grasping roots or branches) equal to your Wisdom modifiers.
• You gain a Natural Armor of 10 + your Constitution modifier + your Wisdom modifier.
• You gain temporary hit points equal to twice your Druid level when you transform into Woad form. When the form ends, you lose any temporary hit points you have from it.

You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the GM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment. Your equipment doesn't change to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

Extra Attack

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Way of the Outcast [v1.1]

An Outcast is a monk that has lost their Way. Trained in the basics of the style, they have abandoned the rigorous discipline and philosophy of their tradition, and is usually now enrolled only in the school of hard knocks.

Having been trained in the fundamentals of the art of ki, these monks choose as often as not to apply that art to tavern brawls. Much to the horror many more formal monks, their rough and tumble lifestyle tends to be solid source of further training.

With great power comes great responsibility? These monks are going to stick with just the great power, thank you very much. Almost always Chaotic, they can range the spectrum from Good to Evil and everything in between just as easily. A distaste for the rigorous philosophy of an order does not mean a penchant for Evil, but Evil and vice can sometimes lead a monk down this road.

Soul Knife

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you've learned to focus your ki into a psionic blade. As a bonus action, you can create a blade of pure scintillating psionic energy. The blade you create this way most typically takes the form of a knife-like blade projecting from your fist, but you can shape it however you choose. You can choose to create multiple blades, but any blade you are not holding vanishes at the end of your turn and must be resummoned.

Regardless of the form it takes, the weapon is a monk weapon for you, deals 1d8 psychic damage, and has the light, finesse, and thrown(20/60) properties.

Psionic Ki

Additionally at 3rd level, you gain the Telekinetics Discipline; this can be found under the Disciplines list of the Psion class. You can use ki points as psi points, with a limit of 2 ki points. This limit increases to 3 ki points at level 9, 4 ki points at level 14, and 5 ki points at level 17.

If you spend 1 ki or more on your Discipline abilities as part of your action on your turn, you can then immediately make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Art of the Soul Knife

Starting at 6th level, your expertise with the blade allows you to control it in unique and powerful ways.

Extended Knife

You can expend 1 ki point to give your weapon the Reach property until the end of your turn.

Psionic Flurry

When you make a Flurry of Blows, you can make the additional attacks with your Soul Knife.

Soul Strike

When you take the attack action, you can focus. Make a single attack using your action (forgoing any additional attacks gained from Extra Attack) to ignore all armor a creature has and treating its AC as 10 + its dexterity. On a hit, the creature takes additional damage equal to your wisdom modifier.

Oath of Sanity

The Oath of Sanity is the oath of someone that has survived exposure to the horrors that lay beyond the veil.

While most who have glimpsed into the Far Realm suffer instant and irrevocable madness, these Paladins have glimpsed beyond and sworn to remain sane, no matter what the cost. They reject shielding their fragile mind from what they've seen in comforting shroud of madness.

An Oath of Sanity Paladin will usually seem to others as true neutral or lawful neutral following obscure codes incomprehensible to those who haven't experienced a brush with the beyond, their morality coming in blue and orange rather than black and white. Almost universally they are dedicated preventing the threats beyond from consuming the material world and shattering the fragile minds within.

These are the ones who make grim decisions for the greater good, for they know what lies beyond.

Purifier

Not all priests are clerics. Not all problems can be solved by prayer and preaching. Sometimes a more subtle touch is needed to steer the world as the faith dictates, and that is the roll of a Purifier. A blade in the night that commits the lesser evil for the greater good, or a quick end to someone that sniffed too close the Cult of Vecna's business, both could be the work of these divinely guided rogues.

Good is not nice, evil is not stupid. Whatever the organization or god a Purifier serves, it is one that understands the practical nature of the world. Spying, stealing, extracting information, purging the heretics... they have many tasks before them, and complete them with a grim determination.

A Purifier is almost always lawful following an organizational code with zealous focus, but the laws they follow may or may not have any relation to the laws of the land they are in.

Surgeon v1.1

A different cut entirely, a surgeon is a rogue that has come from the bloodiest walk of life possible... that of medic. Few things phase a rogue that has spent time seeing the worst that the battle field has to offer - roper bites, dragon burns, acid sprays and worse - and their in depth knowledge of anatomy can cut both ways on the battlefield. Unwise would be the one that underestimates the deadly precision of surgeon, for cutting things open was never the hard part of their job.

Surgeons tend to be fastidious and educated, but where their moral compass points can vary widely on what brought them to their calling.

Variant: Intelligent Doctors

You can run a variant of this subclass that replaces Wisdom with Intelligence for all Medicine checks and class features, if you prefer your doctors to be more Intelligent than Wise.

Revised Beastmaster [v1.1.2]

The Beast Master archetype embodies a friendship between the civilized races and the beasts of the wild. United in focus, beast and ranger fight the monsters that threaten civilization and the wilderness alike.

Synchronized Combat

Prerequisite: Beast Master Conclave

Your prowess in combat grows, emphasizing your ability to fight in a deadly tempo with your Companion.

• Increase your Strength or Dexterity by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• When you strike a creature, the next time before the start of your next turn your Companion attacks that creature, it has advantage on it's attack.
• If you roll initiative while having no remaining uses of Coordinated Attack remaining, you regain 1d4 uses of Coordinated Attack.

Learned Tricks

Prerequisite: Beast Master Conclave

You've taught your Companion remarkable tricks, both in combat and out.

• Your Companion gains proficiency with the Performance skill.
• Pick two maneuvers of your choice from the Battle Master archetype. When you use Coordinated Attack, your Companion can use one of the selected maneuvers, rolling a d4 for it's martial die.

Aether Heart Origin v1.0

While it is not uncommon for a construct forged to be powered by magic, some of them have such a potent source of magic imbued that they find themselves completely suffused with the overwhelming power, able to channel it to their own ends. When such a creature ends up sentient, it's inherently magical nature makes it a fundamentally magical creature, able to naturally wield it's magic as a Sorcerer.

While this origin is most commonly found in constructed creatures - such as the Warforged - the world is a strange one and many paths can lead to such a fate. An alchemical attempt to raise the dead could leave the subject forever changed, implanted with a magical heart overflowing with power. A creature could even be born with such an abnormal condition, an elemental spark within them of ceaseless power.

However it got there, in the chest of every Aether Heart Sorcerer is a pulsing source of neigh boundless energy that they struggle to control.

Aether Heart Origin Quirks

The following are some optional quirks for a player of this Origin

Knowledge Keeper

You have made pact with being of ancient knowledge. The actual nature of this being can vary greatly, it can be a Pact with a sentient library, an ancient spirit, or perhaps even an entity such as Gond or Oghma. This is a pact for a Warlock that seeks something beyond simple power, they seek knowledge, ancient and unknown knowledge that has once and will again exist.

You can leverage this knowledge to know things that your mortal peers would consider miricles, delve the secrets that others do not even know exist, and, most importantly, perhaps even understand the philosphical mechanics of existence.

Expanded Spell List

The ancient entity of tempestuous power you've made a pact lets you choose from an expended list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Building Storm

Starting at 1st level, when you cast a spell of first level or higher on your turn, a storm begins to brew around you. The storm gains Storm Levels based equal to the level of the spell slot used. If you cast a spell while the storm is active, the storm level is increased by the level of the spell slot used (up to a maximum equal to your Charisma ability modifier).

While a storm is active around you, you gain the following abilities based on how powerful the storm is:

The storm loses 1 level each time you end your turn without feeding it further by casting a spell; any ongoing effect that requires a higher storm level ends.

Tempestuous Bolts

Starting at 6th level, you learn the spell call lightning and while you have a Storm Level of 1 or higher, you can use your action to conjure bolts of lightning as per a 3rd level call lightning spell, treating your Building Storm as the storm cloud (even if you are indoors). If your Storm Level is 2 or higher, you are considered under "stormy conditions" as per the spell.

Additionally, when you cast eldritch blast you can choose to replace the damage type with lightning or thunder damage.

When you deal lightning or thunder damage on your turn and not otherwise concentrating on a spell, you make a DC 10 Charisma saving throw to use your concentration to mantain your storm level when it would otherwise decay.

Whispering Winds

Starting at 10th level, you can hear a whisper on the winds that tells you where they go what they do. You can predict the weather accurately up to 8 hours away, and know if any weather effect is natural or magical in nature.

Additionally, you may hear other things on the winds by way of what they hear; you can cast scrying without expending a spell slot or requiring any verbal or material components, but when cast in this way, your sensor can only hear and not see. A target gets a -5 to the save if they are in a place open to the wind (such as outdoors), and a +5 to a place that the wind could not reach (such as the Underdark).

Once you cast scrying in this way, you cannot cast it again until you complete a long rest.

Everstorm

Starting at 14th level, the Storm Level of your Building Storm no longer decreases at the end of your turn. You can end the effect of your storm as an action. You can spend an action to start building a storm around you, or increase the storm level by one if you already have a storm.

While the Storm Level is 1 or more, you can cast spells featherfall and levitate without expending spell slots as long as they are targeting creatures that are within 15 feet of you within the effect of the storm.

Stormblessed

Prerequisite: Pact of the Tempest

You gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. While in a natural storm, you are under the effect of bless.

Stormcaller

Prerequisite: Pact of the Tempest Prerequisite: 15th level

You learn the spell control weather and can cast it without expending a spell slot. When you cast it in this way, and change the Precipitation or Wind, you can only increase the stage.

School of Innovation [v1.1]

Wizards are, by and large, creatures of tradition and progress. Naturally, there are exceptions to that rule. Wizards of the School of Innovation treat tradition as useful stepping stone - something to be trod on.

These Wizards may make the peers grumble and harumph, but more often than not, it's their names in the Spell Books of the future. While many an Wizard of Innovation was last seen saying 'I have a great idea' those that survive their great idea and return often return with precious new magical understanding.

While by and large Wizards tend to lean to lawful, a School of Invention Wizard tends to regard rules, traditions, and laws with some degree of ambivalence at best, and actual disdain at worst. They tend to neutral or chaotic, but can be found in any stripe.

Example Spells:

Warforged

While many races claim to be designed by the gods, few have the direct and functional purpose of a Warforged, creatures handcrafted for a task. It is just unfortunate that most frequently their handcrafted purpose was cataclysmic wars of annihilation. Warforged exist in many forms, and their origins vary widely.

In the world of Eberron, they were mass produced for the Last War, and now walk the world finding new purpose. Warforged in other worlds may have a similar origin, though how long ago they were last forged and by whom may vary widely.

In other worlds, perhaps the art of their creation remains an active process in some region, or they are forged one at a time, hand crafted by artisans of great reknown. Perhaps they are a common sight, or perhaps they are a relic so old and forgotten no one remembers their existence.

Proud Dragon Kin

Dragonborn look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings or a tail. The first Dragonborn had scales of vibrant hues matching the colors of their dragon kin, but generations of interbreeding have created a more uniform appearance. Their small, fine scales are usually brass or bronze in color, sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or copper-green.

They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand.

The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some Dragonborn clans. These Dragonborn often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.

Self-Sufficient Clans

To any Dragonborn, the clan is more important than life itself. Dragonborn owe their devotion and respect to their clan above all else, even the gods. Each Dragonborn’s conduct reflects on the honor of his or her clan, and bringing dishonor to the clan can result in expulsion and exile.

Each Dragonborn knows his or her station and duties within the clan, and honor demands maintaining the bounds of that position.

A continual drive for self-improvement reflects the self-sufficiency of the race as a whole. Dragonborn value skill and excellence in all endeavors. They hate to fail, and they push themselves to extreme efforts before they give up on something. A Dragonborn holds mastery of a particular skill as a lifetime goal. Members of other races who share the same commitment find it easy to earn the respect of a Dragonborn.

Though all Dragonborn strive to be self-sufficient, they recognize that help is sometimes needed in difficult situations. But the best source for such help is the clan, and when a clan needs help, it turns to another Dragonborn clan before seeking aid from other races—or even from the gods.

Why not a Bonus Action?

The most common fix to a Dragonborn's breath is to make it a bonus action instead of buffing the damage. This is numerically a good fix, but severely diminishes the amount the Breath Weapon feels like a Dragon Breath, demoting it to something more akin to a mechanically balanced but less impressive Dragon Hiccup.

Dragon's Power

Prerequisite: Dragonborn

The elemental power that courses through your being grows stronger, ready to be unleashed in an even more devastating blast of destruction.

• Increase your Strength or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You can add your Strength or Charisma modifier to the damage dealt by your Breath Weapon, and its area of effect becomes 5 by 60 ft line or 30 ft. cone (upgrading from its existing type).

Dragon Wings

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, Prerequisite: Character Level 10

The magical blood of the dragon within surges, allowing you to rapidly and permanently grow wings. You gain a flying speed of 30 feet, though this speed is reduced to 20 feet while wearing heavy armor.

Spell Inventor

Prerequisite: Ability to cast a spell.

Through brilliance, luck, or sheer circumstances you've made magical history and invented your own spell. The spell is known as [Your Name's Descriptive Spell Name], or whatever you choose to call it. You learn your spell.

To create your spell of a spell level you have a spell slot level for, spend a one + two times the level of spell you want to create on the School of Innovation Spell Creation Table.

Warforged Upgrade

Prerequisite: Warforged

You upgrade your body to provide the following modifications:

• Increase your Strength, Dexterity or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You can select another Warforged Specialized Nature or one upgrade from the Alternate Artificer Golemsmith or Warsmith Upgrade list and apply it yourself (treating yourself as the warforged golem or the warplate, as appropriate); this upgrade cannot be one that modifies an Artificer class feature, has a level requirement, or has a prerequisite you do not have.

Fall

1st-level transmutation

• Classes: Artificer, Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Instantaneous

You alter gravity for yourself, causing you to reorient which way is down for you until the end of your turn. You can pick any direction to fall as if under the effect of gravity, falling up to 500 feet before the spell ends.

If you collide with something during this time, you take falling damage as normal, but you can control your fall as you could under normal conditions by holding onto objects or move along a surface according to your new orientation as normal until your turn ends and gravity returns to normal.

Arcane Conduit

2nd-level transmutation

• Classes: Sorcerer
• Casting Time: 1 Action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 minute.

You tap directly into the arcane weave. For the duration, you have resistance to all magical damage besides Force damage, but gain vulnerability to force damage.

At the start of each of your turns while tapped into this power, you and all creatures with 5 feet of you take 1d4 Force damage. This damage increases by 1d4 for each subsequent turn you concentration on this spell.

Blazing Beacon

2nd-level evocation

• Classes: Bard, Cleric, Paladin, Sorcerer, Wizard.
• Casting Time: 1 Action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 minute.

You are bathed in holy light, illuminating bright light up to 30 feet and dim light for additional 30 feet.

Any creature targets you with an attack roll or spell that requires them to see you must make a Constitution saving throw. On failure, they are blinded until the start of their next turn. A creature with darkvision makes this roll with disadvantage. A creature without eyes automatically passes their saving throw.

Immutability

3rd-level transmutation

• Classes: Cleric, Wizard.
• Casting Time: 1 Action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 minute.

You assume an immutable form. You become immune to other transmutation spells or magical effects that would alter your form.

Additionally, your form grows more stable the longer you stand still. If you do not move during your turn, you gain advantage on Constitution saving throws until the start of your next turn. If you have not moved since the start of your last turn, you gain resistance to all damage.

If you do not move for three turns, you most make a Constitution saving throw, or your speed drops to zero until the spell ends.

Revive Beast

3rd level necromancy

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M(Gems worth 25 gp, which the spell consumes)
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Classes: Ranger

You touch a beast that has died within the last minute. That creature returns to life with 1 hit point. This spell can’t return to life a creature that has died of old age, nor can it restore any missing body parts.

Orbital Stones

4th-level transmutation

• Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 Minute.

You lift three small to medium rocks or similar objects from within 10 feet of you, causing them defy gravity and slowly circle you. While all three are in orbit around you, you have total cover against ranged attacks. While two are in orbit, you have three quarters cover, and while only one remains, you have half cover. The spell ends when none of them are orbiting you.

As a bonus action while at least one object remains in orbit, you can magically fling it at target within 60 feet. Make a ranged spell attack roll. On hit, the target takes 2d12 bludgeoning damage and is knocked backward 5 feet.

Shroud of Power

2nd-level abjuration

• Classes: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: 30 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

You wreathe yourself in arcane energy, while imbued with this power you use your reaction to add +2 to the saving throw against magical effects. Alternatively, you can exhaust the power of spell to reroll the save, ending the the spell. You must use the new roll.

Heroic Inspiration

The following rules are a supplement and expansion to the Inspiration rules designed with several different goals in mind. First and foremost, it is to make it a more interesting resource, and in turn making it a more sought after and core component of the game to make earning Inspiration a bigger consideration in player behavior.

Second, it is modifies risk/reward behavior to attach more reward to continuing to adventure without taking a long rest.

Lastly, it gives the DM another tool to help weight the odds without fudging dice or monster health, giving players that have ended up in a hopeless - but heroic - situation a fighting chance, letting heroes have their heroics while keeping the very real chance that even going above and beyond won't be enough.

Weapon Creation Template

To create a weapon, you take a d6, go through five steps to determine the final damage and properties of the weapon.

Not-so-common Weapons.

Taking the formula, we can now make all the missing weapons of the game world. While these weapons should not necessarily be assumed to exist and are not starting gear, perhaps you can craft them, convince the local blacksmith to give your idea a go, or find these as loot early in your adventures - the strongest of these weapons tend to still fall below the threshold of Uncommon, but some will be more powerful for some builds than common starting gear weapons.

Below are some results of the template. Note that all weapons (even if they are created by the template) only count under existing weapon proficiency at the discretion of your DM.
