Au ra

We Xaela are nomads who roam and live off the land. My tribe was no different. Yet though we did no harm to those whose lands we traversed, they treated us as vermin. in their ignorance, they feared us, and that fear manifested as spite and violence.

My loved ones and I were cursed at, spat upon, beaten, and worse. It was out of the desire to protect them that I began my research.

-Alaqa the Witch

Xaela

As a Xaela, you have been hardened by your life on the road as a part of a nomadic tribe. A life of hunting and warring has led you to martial prowess and improved strength. You are more outgoing than your Raen counterparts and are much more willing to engage in battle to resolve a conflict. Xaela tribes are small but numerous, battling for territory against one another on the Azim Steppe. Despite a willingness to fight, Xaela do not seek war, it is merely a tool to settle differences.

The Raen live beneath the churning waters of the Ruby Sea, eastern waters dotted by islands and amongst the sharp peaks of Othard.

They are a reserved people, living in isolation from the world, but have no animosity towards other city states. There is simply no reason for them to become involved with others outside of trade, and to do so could bring ruin upon their hardwon peace beneath the waves and atop the mountains.

Hyur

Thal's Balls... I'd forgotten what it was like to feel so alive! Not since leaving the bloodsands have I had the privilege. Not since the Bull of Ala Mhigo hung up his swords. Back then, the outcome might have been different. But I do not begrudge you your victory. I know how far you have come, how much you have endured. Our fight only confirmed it. We shall have to do this again one day, when time allows.

-Raubahn Aldynn, The Bull of Ala Mhigo

Lalafell

But I will see them suffer no longer. The victory feast shall provide the stage on which I declare the dissolution of the sultanate. 'Tis mine intent that the ruling class of our golden city should take its place beside the common man in a fair and equitable republic. No more shall this nation bow to the whims of a privileged few.

-Nanamo Ul Namo, Sultana of Ul'Dah

Subrace. The Lalafell come from two distinct groups of people. Select one of the two subraces of Lalafell.

Miqo'te

The Nunh that I once fought also believed that his strrrength would save him. He was wrong, and I am now Nunh.

Even when I was young I understood that victorrrry goes to the patient, the cunning, the pragmatic."

Class Table and Archetypes

The full classes provided in this document are listed in the table above.

The following Final Fantasy XIV classes which are represented by archetypes for use alongside the D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook are the following: Bard, Monk, Ninja and Paladin.

Multiclassing

The table appearing below indicates the stat requirements for each class if you intend to multiclass.

Arcanist

A lightly armoured man maneuvers through the battlefield alongside his carbuncle companion. The carbuncle dashes ahead and lets out a burst of magical energy, dazing their foes, while their allies return to formation, swaying the battle in their favour.

A quiet woman carefully scratches notes into her research tome. After a long quiet hour passes, a shining avian figure bursts forth from another plane, ready to heed her every command.

A carefully launched arrow catches the the elven woman's ally. Invoking a few words and raising her grimoire to the sky, healing magics close the wound, allowing their friend to fight on.

These skillful magic users take on many roles on the battlefield, be it a commander of their allies, a medic or a destructive force. Through careful planning and preparation an Arcanist becomes an indomitable force to stand against.

Spell Casting

Your avid research has allowed you to produce magic spells through the use of geometrical figures and formulae within your grimoire. As you gain experience, you are able to write more powerful formulas leading to stronger spells. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Arcanist spell list.

Field Commander

Starting at 2nd level, you have opted to take up the blade alongside the book to protect yourself on the battlefield. You gain proficiency in light armor, medium armor, shields, simple and martial weapons. At 2nd level, your hit point maximum increases by 2 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

Tactical Maneuvers

Also starting at 2nd level you learn a tactical maneuver from the following list. You learn additional maneuvers at 6th, 10th and 18th. These are special combat skills used in collaboration with your summoned carbuncle, allies or your own martial ability.

Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effect. The saving throw DC equals your spell save DC.

Bombarding. When you take the attack action or cast a spell, you can expend one aetherflow stack to direct one of your companions to strike. When you do so, choose a friendly creature within 30 feet who can see or hear you. That creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack.

Carbuncle Bind. When your carbuncle hits with a melee attack, you can expend one aetherflow stack to bind a creature to your carbuncle. The target of your carbuncle's attack must make a dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a binding ethereal chain bursts forth from the carbuncle, shackling the target. The creature can not move more than 5 feet away from the carbuncle for 1d4 rounds.

Carbuncle Shine. When your carbuncle hits with a melee attack, you can expend one aetherflow stack to cause your carbuncle to shine brightly. All hostile creatures within 10 feet who can see the carbuncle must make a constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the targets are blinded for 1d4 rounds.

Deployment Tactics. As a bonus action, you can expend one aetherflow stack to invigorate your allies making them more nimble. Select two friendly creatures within 30 feet of you that can see you. The targets can use their reaction to move up to half their movement speed without provoking attacks of opportunity.

False Fear When your carbuncle hits with a melee attack, you can expend one aetherflow stack to attack a creature's mind as well. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw, being frightened on a failed save until the end of your next turn as their mind is infested with an illusion.

Helping Hand When your carbuncle hits with a melee attack, you can expend one aetherflow stack, causing your carbuncle to release a pulse of positive energy. Allies within 10 feet of the carbuncle gain the benefits of the Help action until the end of their next turn.

Spreading Strike. When your carbuncle hits with a melee attack, you can expend one aetherflow stack, causing your carbuncle to launch a second attack on a creature within 5 feet of the first target.

Switching Step. As a bonus action, you can expend one aetherflow stack to instantly switch places with your carbuncle, if the carbuncle is within 60 feet of you.

Changing the Tide

Also starting at 2nd level, when you make an attack or saving throw, you can expend one aetherflow stack to reroll a die roll. You can only choose to do so before the DM states the outcome of the die roll result.

Eye of the Strategist

Starting at 10th level, if you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with another creature outside combat, you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the follow characteristics of your choice:

• Strength score
• Dexterity score
• Constitution score
• Armor Class
• Current hit points
• Total class levels (if any)

Carbuncle's Sacrifice

Starting at 18th level, you are able to sacrifice your carbuncle to recall the magic energy which makes up its body. Your carbuncle is unsummoned and you gain the maximum number of aetherflow stacks you can possess.

Spur

Starting at 2nd level, when your Egi takes the attack action, you can expend one aetherflow stack to grant advantage on their attack roll. The additional damage from your proficiency bonus is doubled for this attack.

Channeled Casting

Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell you can expend one aetherflow stack to cast the spell as if you were standing where your egi is. Spells which use you as their point of origin can instead use your Egi as the point of origin. These spells do not cause damage to your egi.

Fester

Starting at 10th level, when you cast a spell which requires a target creature to make a saving throw and it fails, you can expend one aetherflow stack to inflict harm to up to 3 targets within 60 feet of the creature. Each chosen creature must make a Constitution saving throw and takes necrotic damage equal to 2d10 + your arcanist level on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one.

Enkindle

Starting at 18th level, you are able to call on your Egi to release the great power hidden within it, unleashing a devastating attack. Once you have unleashed the power of your Egi, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. The power is described in the creature description in appendix B.

Nymian Scholar Expanded Spells

Nymian Healer

Fey's Embrace

Starting at 2nd level you have also learned to harness the bond between you and your fairy. As an action you can expend one of your aetherflow stacks to let your companion cast a spell it knows without expending a spell slot. You can use this feature twice. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Critical Heal

Starting at 6th level, your healing spells have the potential to cause a critical heal. When you roll healing for a spell and roll the highest number possible on any of the dice, roll another dice of the same value and add that number to the amount of hit points recovered. You can use the feature only once per turn.

Adloquiem

Starting at 10th level, when you cast a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, you can expend one aetherflow stack to empower the heal. Your healing spell creates a protective ward on the creature, granting them temporary hit points equal to half the hit points recovered for 10 minutes. If a critical heal occurred, the temporary hit points is equal to the full amount of hit points recovered.

Nymian Savior

Starting at 18th level, when you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell, you instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a creature, you restore 12. Additionally roll your spell as you usually would to determine if it's a critical heal.

Wielders of Fate

The first task of all Astrologians is to gain a mastery over using the deck of sixty. To them, fortune telling is a tool which allows them to interpret the stars themselves. Their deck is based on the constellations that they study. The Astrologians are gifted a divining deck when they begin their study from their master. They act as a conduit for the magic energy gathered by their star globes, passing the empowering magic from the stars to their allies.

An Elegant Tool

The Star Globe is a tool used by Astrologians which allows them to locate and draw in power from the stars. The globes are formed by large rings of precious metal and lenses. The rings are marked using a large spread of precise markings and which allows the user to find and map the stars in order to draw power without a view of the sky.

Creating an Astrologian

Astrologians hail from a faraway island where knowledge is viewed as the greatest virtue. Astrologians are usually scholars by trade, and specialized in the study of astromancy. Often they find themselves born into the scholar’s life or into highborn families. Sometimes low born apprentices find themselves working beneath a master of astromancy and learn how to tap into the magic of the stars. Astrologians are blessed with the ability to read the future. Through the use of the deck of sixty and the stars they are capable of tapping into the future, though the farther they look, the less clear things become. Some Astrologians travel the land to share this gift of foresight with everyone, while others seek out opportunities to spread their young order of magic around the realm. Others track down allies and adventure, as the stars had mandated that the Astrologian set out on a quest for a task which they cannot see the end of. Astrologians borrow power from the cosmos, and in return seeks to see that the will of the stars is done.

Hit Points

• Hit Dice: 1d6 per Astrologian level
• Hit Points at 1st Level: 6 + your Constitution modifier
• Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per Astrologian level after 1st

Proficiencies

• Armor: None
• Weapons: Daggers, Darts, Slings, Quarter Staffs, Light Crossbows
• Tools: Divination Deck

• Saving Throws: Wisdom, Charisma
• Skills: Choose two from Arcana, Deception, Insight, Persuasion, History, Religion

Equipment

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

• a dagger
• a Star Globe, granted to you by your mentor
• a Divination Deck
• (a) a explorer's pack or (b) a scholar's pack

Spell Casting

Your mastery over the deck of sixty enables you to use the power of the stars. As you gain experience, your understanding of the constellations allows you to wield more powerful astral powers. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Astrologian spell list.

Shuffle

Starting at 18th level, you have mastered basic fortunetelling, allowing you to manipulate fate in your readings to a certain extent. After using the Draw action, you can use a bonus action to redraw from the deck. The drawn card is returned to the deck to be read another day, and you use the Draw action again. You can use this feature thrice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Time Dilation

Starting at 20th level, you can expend an available draw to extend the duration of Draw's effect by one round on a single creature. Each subsequent extension requires one extra available draw to be spent. You make this decision at the beginning of your turn before making any movements or actions.

The Heavenly Paths

When an Astrologian is early on in their studies, they select a sect of stars from which they will draw their powers. The stars were mapped using the positions of the sun and moon, and these two sects are reflective of their reference points. The Diurnal Sect uses the sun as their reference point, creating their star maps with the sun being the key to navigation, while the Nocturnal Sect uses the moon as the reference point. An Astrologian can choose to minimally study the stars and focus their efforts into their tarot deck, learning advanced techniques on how to manipulate fate.

Morningstar Mage

Starting at 2nd level, you have trained your body alongside your mind, gaining prowess in the martial arts to survive on the battlefield. You have proficiency with one handed simple and martial weapons, light and medium armor. At 2nd level, your hit point maximum increases by 2 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class. Your spell list is expanded with offensive magic from the list below, allowing you to learn the following spells.

Nocturnal Benefic

Starting at 6th level you can empower your spells with the magic of the moon. When you cast a spell of the 1st-level or higher that restores the hit points of an ally, you can leave a shielding effect on your allies. After the spell is cast, your allies gain temporary hit points equal to #d4 where # is equal to your Wisdom ability modifier. You can only empower your spells like this once before requiring a long rest.

Malefic Attunement

Starting at 10th level, you have mastered the ability to weave astromancy and martial combat seamlessly, allowing you to cast a spell after landing a melee attack as a bonus action. The spell can not be higher than 2nd level when cast in this manner.

Rage of the Moon

Starting at 14th level, you are able to channel the power of the moon into your arms. For 10 minutes you strike with the malefic powers of the moon. Your spells and melee attacks channel the astral energy of the nocturnal sect, dealing an additional 2d6 force damage. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Stacked Deck

Starting at 2nd level, you have learned how to stack your deck of sixty. When you use your Draw action, you can roll 2d6 instead and select the result of the Draw action from the two results. Discard the other result.

Expanded Deck

Starting at 6th level, you have access to twice the number of available Draws per day than the listed number.

Double Draw

Starting at 10th level, you have learned how to read multiple arcana cards at the same time. When you use the Draw action, you can roll 2d6 and use both cards to grant boons to your allies. Doing so prevents you from using the Stacked Deck feature.

Twisted Fate

Starting at 14th level, you have mastered reading arcana cards and twisting fate. You have learned to use all the tools at your disposal, allowing you to freely use your fortune telling skills for 10 minutes, refreshing after a long rest. For each Draw action, you can use Royal Road, Shuffle, Spread, Stacked Deck and Double Draw. Each card drawn still consumes an Available Draw point.

Troubadour

When you join the College of the Wanderer at 3rd level you learn to weave together the art of archery with the power of aether. You gain proficiency with longbows and the Arcana skill.
If you are proficient with a simple or martial weapon, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.
Additionally, when your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a bard spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from the ranger spell list or the bard spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a bard spell for you.

When you gain this feature choose two cantrips from Caustic Bite, Empyreal Arrow, Misery's End, Rain of Death or Stormbite to learn. They count as bard cantrips for you, but don't count against your number of cantrips known. You learn another cantrip from this list at 7th, 11th and 15th level.

Army's Paeon

Starting at 3rd level your songs and words enchant your comrades strikes with the power of sound. A creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you can roll that die to add an extra 2d6 to a melee weapon damage roll it just made.

This damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3d6 at 5th level, 4d6 at 10th level, and 6d6 at 15th level.

Mage's Ballad

Starting at 6th you learn to weave the power of aether into the most mundane of strikes. Once per turn when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one bard spell slot to deal thunder damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 1d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st.

When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points using this feature, you regain one use of your Bardic Inspiration.

Wanderer's Minuet

Starting at 14th you have learned to cloak yourself with the wandering winds. You can use your bonus action to teleport to a unoccupied space within 30 feet. When you reappear at your new location, your body becomes covered in rapidly flowing aether until the start of your next turn. The next time you hit a creature with a weapon attack while under the effect of this feature, it takes an extra 2d8 force damage. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest or have expended a use of your Bardic Inspiration.

A Dark Past

In days long past, there existed an evil clan and arcane art known as black magic—a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the path of ruin.

Adventurers who take the black will become agents of devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through little more than the force of their will.

Ties to the Void

In order for a mage to don the black, they must extensively research what they call the void. This is another plane of existence from which Black Mages draw knowledge, in order to unlock power within themselves. Most Black Mages are able to explore the knowledge gained from the void through tomes and texts now, but some who thirst for new power can attempt to tap into the void directly. Black Mages continue to grow within their craft through continuing their study of the dark arts.

Creating a Black Mage

Black Mages are earnest in their desires and reasons for taking the black. More often than not it is in the pursuit of power or out of sheer curiosity. You must know why you are pursuing this power, or why you are curious about the dark arts. You must also decide where you began to dip your toes into the world of black magic. Did you join a cult of mages who studied the art? Perhaps a proper school which provides the proper materials to explore black mage. Maybe you were taken under the wing of a mentor who has mastered the art.

Protecting the Meek

A Dark Knight is a knight who has taken up arms to serve the downtrodden. They serve no lords or institutions, believing no one is exempt from justice, no matter what their position in society. They protect the common folk from not only banditry and wild beasts, but from corrupt men who seek to oppress them. In return, Dark Knights are often fed and housed by those they protect, or rely upon bounty hunting and raiding looters to support themselves.

Internal Darkness

When an adventurer chooses the path of a Dark Knight they understand that they are renouncing their rights to be a regular member of society. They belong to no society, acting as paragons of justice who see no allegiance. To assist them in their quest, Dark Knights are able to sacrifice their own life force to power a well of darkness within themselves. They cause themselves great pain and exhaustion in order to allow dark power to course through their body which they harness in a variety of ways.

Creating a Dark Knight

Dark Knights are natural adventurers, living outside the law to see their goals to fruition. They may live within a remote village protecting the inhabitants from bandits, while the land's knights turn a blind eye to their plight, or they may travel the world seeking out institutionalized injustice and smiting it with violence. Dark Knights act on behalf of the common folk, and do so not expecting praise nor admiration. They are aware that they will not be celebrated in the history books like Paladins would be. Instead they expect to be demonized by history and happily accept this fact. One seeking to become a Dark Knight must be introduced to it through some means, be it an ancient tome with their rituals recorded or a mentor to impart their knowledge.

Their most notable ability is the Dragoon jump, which is powered by a magical gem each Dragoon receives upon completing their basic training.

Scourge of the Sky

The Dragoons have been blessed with the ability to soar high into the air like those they have taken up arms to destroy. These warriors are able to crash down from the sky using their weapons and body weight to drive any skyborn into the ground, or cause great damage to those already on land. Wings will not grant you safety from a Dragoon.

Creating a Dragoon

When creating a Dragoon, consider what brought them down the path of a specialized knight. They may have shown a certain aptitude which allowed them to become a dragoon with ease, or perhaps were born into the role due to the history of their homeland. A dragoon may have decided upon this path due to the stories of famed dragoons of legends, hoping to become as powerful and respected as the knights they had heard about while they were growing up.

Consider why a Dragoon would choose to head out on an adventure. Are they seeking a specific dragon, hoping to slay an enemy of their nation? Could your dragoon have unfinished business with a dragon from their past? Sometimes a dragoon may set out for the sake of journeying around the land.

It's Not About Fame

It is their heroic spirit which drives them to action, the garnered fame is just a perk.

Creating a Red Mage

Did they become fed up with the oppressive nature of the world and seek the need to become a hero to the common man? They may have learned of a plot which endangers their home, perhaps the world as a whole and will stop at nothing to end it. Maybe it is simply a need to chase the thrill of adventure and become a hero of legend.

One key consideration to make as a Red Mage is where you came to learn your myriad of skills. Was it through the study of old tomes you discovered in an abandoned warehouse or library? Did you meet a mentor who saw great potential in you and introduced you to the art? Whatever the origin, you wield powerful skills with an artistic flair.

When creating a Samurai, you have to decide how they became involved in the discipline. Were they born into the tradition, being the son of a Samurai or lord? Perhaps they fight in a self-taught style which they continually hone through their travels.

on top of their roots as a Samurai, you must consider why you fight as a Samurai. Are you on a quest on behalf of a lord, or directly protecting their master's lands.

For the rest of the round your melee weapon attacks have advantage against that creature.

Well Travelled Soul

At 6th level, your travels as a Ronin have granted you a great deal of experience in the world as a traveller. Select a type of terrain you have expertise in travelling across from the following: arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, or swamplands. When making ability checks related to this type of terrain your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are proficient in the skill, or added if you are not proficient. Difficult terrain in this environment does not slow your progress and you are unaffected by this type of difficult terrain during battle.

Hissatsu: Yaten

At 9th level, you can spend one charge of your Sen to deliver a parting blow on a creature. For the next melee weapon attack you have advantage and as part of the attack action you move straight back 10 feet without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Yukikaze

At 14th level, you have learned to discern holes in your opponents guard, allowing you to make more effective strikes. As a bonus action, you can spend one Sen charge to add half your Wisdom modifier, rounded up, to your attack and damage rolls for the remainder of your turn.

Indomitable Forces

The Warrior finds their roots in ancient tribes akin to barbarians. These fearless fighters are peerless in their control of a force which they call the inner beast. Warriors often come from tribal backgrounds in which they learn to nurture and control this inner animal, which in turn grants them beast like strength and ferocity. Warrior bands once roamed unsettled lands as nomads, enjoying the boons which nature offers and defending the weak from those who would do them harm.

Unending Rage

Not unlike nature itself, a Warrior has the potential to become a relentless force of destruction. Like a raging forest fire, or an all consuming tidal wave, a Warrior can unleash their inner beast to harness its rage. This state of being is known as berserking. While berserking, Warriors continually chase foes and defend allies, using their bloodlust to keep themselves in the battle as a threat.

Creating a Warrior

When creating a Warrior, one must consider their origins as a Warrior. Are you a descendant of the ancient tribes from which Warriors are able to draw their lineage? Perhaps you were a fledgling adventurer who found a mentor in the form of a former Warrior who passed on the secrets of the inner beast. Perhaps you had a natural attunement to the ways of the Warrior and have developed your skills without guidance.

You must also consider why you have set out on your life of adventuring? As a Warrior, have you decided to seek out dangerous challenges to sharpen your skills or sate the appetite of the hungry beast inside you? Perhaps you have taken up arms in defense of your tribe, a village or a loved one? Warriors set out for any number of reasons.

Fighting Style

You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty, Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

The Beast of Defiance

A warrior who has cut their teeth under this tradition has tamed the beast within their heart, and gained great control over it. They channel the strength from this force only when it is needed, and are able to fight defensively with the help of such forces. Finding succor in the destruction of their foes and defense of their friends sees a defiant warrior become a powerful ally.

Armored Blows

Starting at 3rd level you have learned to incorporate your armor into your fighting style. While you are under the effect of Berserk and are wearing armor you can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strikes. In addition, when you use the attack action with a melee weapon using Strength you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Storm's Eye

Starting at 6th level, when you hit with a melee weapon attack while under the effects of Berserk, you can use Storm's Eye. The target creature makes a Constitution saving throw, DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier, on a failed save the creature receives 1d6 bonus damage from weapon attacks against it for a number of rounds equal to your Strength ability modifier. This bonus damage is increased to 2d6 at the 14th level. You can use this ability only once per Berserk.

Wild Expertise

Starting at 10th level, you allow your inner beast to empower your physical abilities. You choose one skill from Acrobatics, Athletics, Stealth or Survival and gain proficiency in that skill. If you are already proficient in that ability, double your proficiency bonus when you make ability checks using that skill.

Fell Cleave

Starting at 14th level, while you are under the effects of Berserk you may use Fell Cleave as an action. Make an attack roll against a single creature within melee weapon range. This attack has a critical range of 15-20. On a successful attack, you deal the regular damage of the attack and a bonus 5d10 damage. Your Berserk ends immediately after the attack is resolved.

Equilibrium

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you have learned to find solace in crushing your foes spirit. While you are Berserking, the first creature you hit on each of your turns with a weapon attack takes extra damage equal to 1d8 + your Warrior level, while you regain hit points equal to the damage dealt. The extra damage is necrotic or psychic damage; you choose the type of damage when you gain this feature.

Suppressive Aura

Starting at 6th level your intense focus in battle allows you to emit a aura of mental pressure. When you are under the effect of Berserk, as an action you can turn this aura against creatures within 30 feet of you. Each creature of your choice must make a Charisma saving throw if it can see you (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier). On a failed save, the target is frightened of you for 1 minute. If a creature frightened by this effect ends its turn more than 30 feet away from you, it can attempt another Charisma saving throw to end the effect on it.
You can use this ability once per Berserk.

Ruffian Diplomacy

Starting at 10th level, you gain proficiency in the persuasion skill. After interacting with a creature for 1 minute, you gain insight into how the creature will react to boasts of might or intimidation. Your DM reveals if these tactics would be especially effective against the creature and you gain advantage on the appropriate Persuasion or Intimidation check if applicable.

Overpower

Starting at 14th level, you learn to cast the spell Destructive Wave at 5th level while under the effects of Berserk. Strength is your spell casting ability (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) for this spell. Your Berserk state ends immediately after the spell resolves.

One with the land

White Mage's strength stems from an art they refer to as conjury. Conjury calls upon the elements of earth, wind, and water and concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved. Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation, conjurers draw forth and absorb magic from their immediate surroundings. A wand or cane made from unworked wood is then utilized to focus the magical energy until it manifests as the desired spell. Versed also in magicks that restore and strengthen, White Mages are regarded as accomplished healers.

Patrons of Light

White Mages find their roots in a society which revered nature as an ally, borrowing the power of the land and elementals to soothe wounds and protect from the wicked. Over time, the White Mages of the past overused this power causing the elementals to act out and smite the land, alongside the damage wrought by the opposing Black Mages, the world fell into a dark age. Today White Mages are few and far between, practicing the forbidden art to wield the powers of nature and light to drive off evil in protection of the world again.

Creating a White Mage

When creating a White Mage one must question how they came into the art of conjury and the profession of White Mage. Did a kindly mentor take you under their wing? Did your studies of magic from the past lead you to discovering how to draw power from the world you lived in? Perhaps the elementals which inhabit the land reached out to you and their whispers guided you to the path of a White Mage. Nonetheless a White Mage's role in the world is that of a protector, soothing the wounds of those who need it most, settling enraged elementals and driving the beings who bring destruction back from hence they came.
