About the Compendium

This book is designed for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition and offers players and DMs additional homebrew options for use in their personal games.

Strange Races

There are some unique beings out there, far beyond the veils and laws of Spacetime. Here I have outlined a few of the most interesting I have encountered.

Children of the Stars

Born of interstellar nurseries, Starlings are intelligent humanoid beings who are as mysterious as they are beautiful. Their physical appearances can vary wildly, with skin and eye tones ranging the gamut of unusual colors and may even be iridescent, metallic, marbled, or opalescent in property. Their eyes may have odd pupils or lack them entirely, and it is not uncommon to see unusual physical adaptations such as pointed or elongated ears or fingers, claws, or fangs.

Starlings capable of casting magic exhibit unique physical traits. When casting, a Starling's eyes often alight with gleaming gold or iridescent white, based on their solar or lunar nature, respectively. For some, even the mouth, nose, and hair may take on this glowing property. Some Starlings not capable of casting magic may find themselves with this glowing feature anyway when fits of strong emotions take them.

Cosmic Nature

Curious to a fault, when Starlings find themselves among civilization their first order of business is usually to seek out the nearest creature capable of understanding them and attempt to befriend them or otherwise understand them.

Starlings are typically friendly by default with rare exceptions, even among those whom have been flung violently across the cosmos for eons, and generally mean no harm until they are provoked. Once angered, however, a Starling is capable of violence as great as the universe itself.

Starlings who have newly arrived in civilization are often confused by the workings of mortals. As beings of pure chaos energy, they find laws and regulations strange and limiting and thus often find themselves in trouble due to lack of comprehension.

Among Strangers

Starlings may arrive on a planet through a variety of means, but the two most common are Landing or Being Found.

When an interstellar body is created in a cosmic nursery it is possible that that body will be imbued with life force, creating a Starling soul. This soul exists in that sun or moon until that body is destroyed, which effectively gives birth to a newborn Starling. When that body is destroyed, the newborn Starling is hurdled through space, appearing as a small asteroid.

A Starling may eventually impact with another interstellar body, landing on that body like a meteor impact. Alternatively, civilizations capable of space travel may find a lone, floating Starling while they are still hurdling through space.

Starling Names

Unfamiliar with the gender, Starlings often choose names for themselves based on how much the sound of the name appeals to them. It is not uncommon for Starlings to be given names by those around them after they have arrived based on the local understanding of the cosmos and their names for cosmic entities. Starlings seldom take surnames on their own volition, but when they do it is usually do to feeling a close bond with those who would share that surname.

Examples. Nebula. Ester. Orion. Andromeda. Sol. Luna.

Starling Traits

Starlings are curious and clever, but are generally clueless about the worlds they reach from a common knowledge perspective.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 2.
• Age. Starlings are quasi-immortals, but are highly susceptible to infectious diseases. A healthy Starling may live to be well over 1,000 years old, but most who land fall prey to a disease within 30 years of living there. Starlings reach physical maturity at approximately age 50.
• Alignment. Starlings lean towards Chaotic alignments.
• Size. Starlings can vary in size compared to mortals, but approximate around the size of humans. Your size is Medium.
• Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 ft.
• Darkvision. Your eyes are acclimated to the darkness of the wilderness, inherited by your hag mother. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. Your Darkvision can only perceive in shades of gray.

Half Hag

Born of the Fey

Exclusively the result of a Gnome mating with a Sprite, these small beings are inherently Feylike in nature. Due to this, their appearance may vary wildly from that of their parents, and odd coloration of hair, eyes, and skin is not unusual.

Gnomite Traits

• Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2. Your Intelligence score increases by 1.
• Age. Your lifespan is not as long as your gnomish parent's, but not as short as your spritely parent's either. You reach maturity around age 20, and can live anywhere from 200 to 300 years.
• Alignment. Gnomites can vary in alignment, but most often will inherit either the Chaotic nature of their spritely parent, the Good nature of their gnomish parent, or both.
• Size. You can expect to grow anywhere between 2 and a half to 4 feet tall, and average around 30 to 60 pounds. Your size is Small.

• Sprite Weapon Training. You gain proficiency with the Longsword and Shortbow.
• Speak with Small Beasts. Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas with Small or smaller beasts.
• Heart Sight. You can touch a creature and magically know the creature's current emotional state. If the target fails a DC 10 Charisma saving throw, you also know the creature's alignment. Celestials, fiends, and undead automatically fail the saving throw.
• Spritely Wings. As an Action, you can cause transluscent fairy wings to sprout from your back. For 1 minute, you gain a Fly speed equal to your current Walking speed. These wings are too fragile to carry more than you plus your base carry weight. You regain the ability to use this feature on a Long Rest.
• Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, Gnomish, and Sylvan.

Born of Fey Charms

The result of a Dryad taking a human lover, a Half Dryad inherits more from their Dryad mother than they do their human father. While they are most commonly born female, a rare male is possible.

Beautiful in a wild, unnatural way, Half Dryads are always shades of browns and greens in appearance. Their heads will sometimes sprout twigs, bark horns, or leaf growths, either in addition to or instead of hair. Their ears are elven, though are a bit thinner-skinned, and their blood is closer to brown than red.

Half Dryad Traits

• Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2. Your Wisdom score increases by 1.
• Age. You live longer than your human father, but not as long as your dryad mother. Half Dryads mature at the same rate as humans, and may live to be up to 300 years old.

• Size. You are roughly the same size as a human. Your side is Medium.
• Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 ft.

• Tree Stride. As a Bonus Action, you can use 10 ft of your movement to magically step into one living tree within your reach and emerge from a second living tree within 60 ft of the first tree, appearing in an unoccupied space within 5 ft of the second tree. Both trees must be Large or bigger.
• Fey Charm. As an Action, you can target one humanoid or beast that you can see within 30 ft of you. If the target can see you, it must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed. The charmed creature regards you as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target is not under your control, it takes your requests or actions in the most favorable way it can.

Each time you or your allies do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat its saving throw, ending the effect on a success. Otherwise, this ability lasts 1 hour, if you die, or you end the effect as a Bonus Action, or if either you or the target are on different planes of existence.

If a target succeeds its saving throw, it is immune to this ability for 24 hours. You can have no more than 1 creature charmed at a time, and can only use this ability once per Long Rest.

• Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and Sylvan.

Heathens of the Feywild

Naturally curious and self-interested at best, Satyrs are seldom content to live simple lives at home. It is not uncommon for them to seek out adventure, but they do so out of self-interest, with goals that are often more personal than lofty. When a Satyr does go out to adventure, they are typically doing it in pursuit of new experiences, stories, or even material wealth.

A Satyr can be a boon to any adventuring party - provided their goals align with that of their companions.

Satyr Traits

---

• Mask of the Wild. You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.

Seaside

Seaside satyrs often boast elaborate horns that resemble coral reefs, and often have seaweed or kelplike growths from their hair. Their features are paler than other satyrs.

---

• Strong Swimmer. Despite your build not being made for swimming you have learned regardless. You gain a swim speed of 30 ft.

Mountainous

Mountain satyrs are taller and leaner than the rest of their cousins, and boast a small set of wings.

---

• Feathered Wings. Your heritage grants you a set of small wings. These wings are only strong enough to carry your own body weight and up to your standard carrying capacity.

Deep

Swimmers of the deep, these neriaad are accustomed to the sudden changes in temperature, water pressure, and salinity that come with deep sea exploration. Their coral-like body growths are thicker than their shallow water cousins, their muscles are denser, and the tentacles that sprout from their heads like hair are more numerous.

• Ability Score Improvement. Your Wisdom score increases by 1.
• Adaptive Temperature. You have resistance to cold and fire damage.

Shallow

Acclimated to the shallows, these neriaad are quick enough to catch even the fastest fish. They favor warmer waters and tend to be intolerant of extreme cold. Their defining characteristic that sets them apart from their deep-dwelling cousins is their minor ability to generate electricity, like that of an eel, which they use to hunt small fish and crustaceans.

---

• Ability Score Improvement. Your Dexterity score increases by 1.
• Spark Touch. As an Action, you touch a creature within 5 ft of you. This creature must make a DC 14 Strength saving throw or take 1d6 Lightning damage and be stunned until the end of their next turn.

Deadly be the Skies

The bane of any seafaring adventurer, harpies are found throughout all the oceans of the world. Their large winds are capable of catching the air currents for extended flights, and their talon hands were made for shredding soft flesh.

Dwellers of the Land and Sea

Harpies are mostly found along the seaside cliffs, but can also be found in mountainous regions near large bodies of water, such as river canyons.

Harpy Traits

• Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity increases by 2.
• Age. Harpies age at the same rate as humans, but have slightly shorter lifespans. Most harpies do not live past the age of 80.
• Alignment. Harpies are naturally inclined towards chaotic alignments, and when raised in their natural communities err towards evil alignments - although some communities may be more chaotic neutral where they have made deals and arrangements with locals that are to their benefit.
• Size. You may be slightly shorter or slightly taller than the average humanoid, ranging in heights from 5' to 7' - Mountainous harpies being taller, and oceanic harpies being shorter. Your size is Medium.
• Speed. You are more accustomed to flight than you are to walking. Your base walking speed is 20 ft. You have a Flight speed of 35 ft.
• Rending Talons. Your claws act as a natural unarmed weapon for you, dealing damage equal to 2d4 + your Strength score.
• Beguiling Song. As an Action, you sing a magical melody. Each creature of your choice within 60 ft of you who is capable of hearing the song must succeed on a DC 11 Charisma saving throw or be Charmed by you until the song ends. On subsequent turns, you must use your Bonus Action to continue singing this song, or choose to stop singing as as Free Action at any time. While singing, you cannot otherwise speak, or you will end the song. The song also ends if you are Incapacitated.

• While Charmed by you in this way, creatures ignore the songs of other harpies. If the charmed target is more than 5 ft away from you, the target must move on its turn towards you by the most direct route, trying to get within 5 ft. It doesn't avoid opportunity attacks, but before moving into damaging terrain, such as lava or a pit, and whenever it takes damage from a source other than you, it can repeat its saving throw. A Charmed target can also repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If the saving throw is successful, the effect on it ends.

A target that successfully saves is immune tto your song for the next 24 hours.

Star Genasi

As rare as a Starling is, even rarer is it to find a child born of a Starling and another creature. Thus, the appearance of these beings vary wildly from individual to individual.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 1.
• Star Step. While in sunlight or moonlight - dependent upon your Starling heritage - you gain the ability to mystically teleport through space in the blink of an eye. As an Action, you may teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 ft. You may do this once per Long Rest.

At 3rd level, you gain the spell Levitate and can cast it at 2nd level once without expending a spell slot or material components, and regain the ability to recast it after a Long Rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Smoke Genasi

A fairly uncommon mixing of the races, Smoke Genasi are typically found when a Fire Genasi mates with another Genasi, a Fiend, or, most commonly, a Tiefling. As such, they typically share features of both parents, but are always found with smoky hair and pointed ears. They may occasionally boast fangs, claws, or even horns.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 1.
• Darkvision. You have Darkvision to a range of 60 ft. You can see in shades of red.
• Hardened Lungs. You are capable of holding your breath twice as long as you would normally otherwise be able to.

• Immutable Form. You have Advantage on saving throws against spells or abilities attempting to change your form. You may still choose to fail these saving throws if you wish.
• Crystalline Shed. When you rest, you can shed flakes of your crystalline form. Whenever you take a Short Rest you can cure 1 condition. Additionally, this shed crystal may be valuable.

Reborn Aasimar

You have died before, and somehow you have been reborn - renewed and with a holy vengeance. Your Celestial heritage has brought you back from the brink of death, perhaps not for the first time, and now your life is devoted to uncovering what ended you once before.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence increases by 1.
• Reborn Soul. Sometimes, fragments of your past life return to you in your sleep. You gain proficiency in 1 tool or skill of your choice. Whenever you take a Long Rest, you may change this choice.
• Mark of Death. While you are conscious, you can make an Action to concentrate on your past life and attempt to pinpoint what ended it. As long as you are on the same plane of existence as whatever killed you, you know the approximate direction towards it and have a vague sense of the distance - very far, far, nearby, close, or very close. If it was a Creature that killed you, you are able to sense if they are alive, dead, or undead.

Lepori Shifter

More prey animal than predator, the Lepori are excellent at hiding and avoiding threats.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 1.
• Ease with Animals. As a prey animal, you have a natural connection with other prey animals. You gain advantage on Animal Handling checks made against other prey animals, but have Disadvantage on those against predator animals.

In addition, other slaves and servants will regard you as friendly as long as you treat them kindly, and may be willing to help you out by hiding or lying on your behalf, showing you secret passages in and out of places, and otherwise giving you aid, but will not risk their lives for you.

Suggested Characteristics

The Agency

Arbiters are all part of a group known only as The Agency, who operate throughout all of Spacetime. They hail from the planet Vesteria, and their headquarters are found in the capital city of Vesterport.

Some hail from different planes, while others are displaced from alternate realities entirely.

Life on the Frontier

Reality Reversal

At 17th level you have learned how to upend reality on its head and make it work better for you. As an Action, you can expend Alacrity to regain spell levels. You regain 1 spell slot level per Alacrity spent.

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier, and regain uses of it on a Long Rest.

Chaotic Control

A dervish relishes in utilizing their unique set of skills to control any combat encounter they come across. Despite adding such needed versatility to the battlefields, they are rare to see, as the strange magics fueling their dark abilities tend to instill fear in most.

Focusing on speed and endurance, they thrive in environments that make them think on their feet. While their methods may seem frightening, chaotic, and unpredictable, they are always in control - and there is almost always a method to the madness of a dervish.

Life on the Outskirts

Dervish are marked by the strange forces of dark magics that have touched them. To tame the madness and keep it at bay, these individuals have taken up the call to arms and trained in a unique fighting style that allows the chaos flowing through the veins to spread out from them and into the world.

Due to the eldritch magic touching them, dervish tend to live on the outskirts of society, away from the commonfolk whom would otherwise be terrified of such dark dealings and chaotic displays. Some hide in plain sight, in the underbellies of large cities where their faces are lost in the throngs of heavy crowds, while others shy away from society at large and find themselves living the lives of isolated loners out in the far reaches of the wilds.

No matter where they choose to live, chaos seems to follow them, and battle never seems far away. Dervish attract strange creatures no matter where they go, and find themselves unable to ignore the carrion call of battle and death, which is never far away.

Creating a Dervish

As you create your dervish character, consider what dark being has made a mark on their soul. Is it the spirit of a vengeful lover lost in the outer wilds? Did your character make a dark deal in exchange for the promise of the powers they have now been granted? Or were you simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and found yourself with an eldritch spirit affixed to your very soul?

• (a) two shortswords or (b) a crossbow and 20 bolts
• (a) a burglar's pack, (b) a dungoneer's pack, or (c) an explorer's pack
• (a) leather armor or (b) hide armor

Deftly Powerful

You are as quick as you are powerful, and have learned how to turn bulky weapons into cunning danger. At 1st level, if a weapon you are proficient with would normally use Strength as its modifier, you may use Dexterity instead.

Stances

Beginning at 1st level, you have learned how to forgo attacks in order to set yourself into advanced stances. Pick two (2) Stances detailed below to learn. Whenever you take the Attack action, you can forgo one standard attack to perform one stance instead. You can only perform one stance per turn. Whenever you perform a stance that deals damage, you deal damage equal to your Stance Dice plus your ability modifier instead, except where otherwise stated.

You learn additional stances at 5th, 9th, 13th, 17th, and 20th levels.

Arcane Athlete

Some dervish decide to follow the pursuit of physical mastery and all that comes with it. For a dervish, this means putting their body in peak performance of fitness and endurance, allowing them to move across the battlefield with greater ease and perform even more devastating strikes.

Soul Transplant

When you take this archetype at 3rd level, you learn the dark arts of imbuing a soul that is hosted in your body into the husk of another.

Choose 1 soul you have hosted in your body, as well as 1 corpse that is within 30 ft of you. As an Action, you mystically transpose the soul into the corpse and turn it into a Zombie under your control.

This zombie acts after you in Initiative order and is effectively under your control. On your turn, you can take a Bonus Action to order it, or else let it act on its own volition. The zombie considers you and your allies friendly unless attacked by one of you or your allies.

The number of zombies you can have under your control is equal to your Constitution modifier. If you attempt to bring forth more, the previous zombies will no longer be considered under your control nor friendly to you.

Breath of Undeath

At 7th you have learned how to utilize the souls at your disposal to heal your zombie companions. As an Action, you can transplant a soul hosted in your body into that of a zombie and heal it for a number of HP equal to the Challenge Rating or Level of the soul.

Shredded Soul

At 13th you have worked out how to rip the soul right back out of a zombie under your control. As an Action you can shred the soul you have imbued in a zombie. You gain Hit Points equal to the remaining Hit Points the zombie had.

Limitless Unto Death

At 17th level, there is no longer a limit to the number of zombies you can have under your control.

Breach of Space

When you take this archetype at 3rd level, you gain a new way to use your movement. Instead of walking, you can mystically teleport through the shadows of space up to your movement speed to an unoccupied space. You need not be able to see this space to land there.

Whenever you use this ability, the damage type of your Stance dice changes. The next time you use your Stance dice, instead of dealing the weapon's normal type of damage, you deal Force damage instead.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier.

Dancing Stance

At 7th level, you have taught yourself a new type of Stance which you can immediately swap out for a known stance.

As an Action, you begin a strange and mesmerizing dance that incorporates attacking movements with your weapon. Until the start of your next turn, any creature that enters your reach must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failure, you can make an attack against that creature, dealing your Stance dice in damage.

Life of Whispers

No matter where they go, whispers seem to follow behind the backs of witches. It is a life every witch must learn to accept.

A witch's powers are feared, as no one quite understands what makes a witch. Some say they are born with their magic, like sorcerers, while others say they make pacts with beings in the way that warlocks do. Others yet believe they commune with nature, as druids do. The factor of the unknown is what drives even the most curious to hesitate before inquiring after the advice or assistance of a witch.

Born Different

Witches are born with an inherent connection to the Inner Planes. They may have been the offspring of a mortal mating with a creature of the Fey, or born in close proximity to a planar rift, or any number of things. Regardless of their origin, they are capable of communing with the raw elemental forces of nature - and more.

Creating a Witch

Consider how you first learned you were a witch. Did you have a sudden magical outburst as a child, or did another practitioner of the arcane arts sense it in you? Determine what your life has looked like up until now. Did you live on the outskirts of a village, helping those daring enough to ask for your aid? Or were you isolated in the wilds, surviving entirely on your own? Perhaps you lived with another witch; you might have even been their apprentice.

No matter where you come from, decide what has turned you towards the life of an adventurer.

Blood Magic

Blood mages are those who draw upon their own life forces to fuel their spells and heal their allies. Theirs is a gruesome magic, and certainly not one to be taken lightly.

Blood mages use an Athame - a special dagger used exclusively for the purposes of blood magic. When you dedicate yourself to Blood Magic, you consecrate a dagger in your possession with your own blood and imbue it with your own signature magic. This process takes 1 hour and requires 100g worth of incense. Once consecrated, an Athame must be fed at least a small amount of fresh blood once a day to retain its magical properties. Going forward, you should only use your Athame for Blood Magic; if you use it for anything else, it loses its magical properties and becomes an ordinary dagger.

Energy Magic

Witches who focus in the art of Energy magic do so to better understand the world around them and all that inhabits it. They are capable of healing the auras of the ill just as easily as using the energy of a creature against itself.

Shadewalk

When you Dedicate yourself to this form of magic at 2nd level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action you can teleport up to 60 ft to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness.

Additionally, you can take the Hide action as a Bonus Action.

One with Darkness

At 6th level, the shadowy magic you utilize has become part of you. You gain Resistance to Radiant damage. Additionally, whenever you are hit with a melee attack, you can use your Reaction to lash out with your shadows, dealing 1d8 points of necrotic damage.

Lash of Shadows

At 11th level, you gain control over the shadows themselves. As an Action, you can create a lash of shadow that emerges from any shadow within 30 ft of you and use it to attack a creature within 5 ft of it. Roll to hit. If the attack hits, the lash deals 3d8 points of necrotic damage.

Sphere of Darkness

At 17th level, you gain the ability to form a sphere of pure shadow which you hurl forward to a point you can see within 60 ft. The sphere then explodes, hurling dark energy outward. Each creature in a 15 ft radius centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 8d8 points of necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Walker of the Wilds

The life of a Summoner is one of adventure. Summoners brave the wilds of the world in hopes to find new, powerful entities to bind to their souls. They seek out the thrill of finding new lands and new Eidolons, learning as much about them as they can, and unlocking their truest potential.

Beneficial Boundaries

A summoner may focus on gathering as many Eidolons as they can, or on gathering a few but select Eidolons, or may look to build a bond with simply one or two entities.

Creating a Summoner

A Summoner is first made when they strike a deal with their first Eidolon and bind it to their soul. Consider how you first came to know of this entity, and what means you went to in order to bind it to you. Did you hear a rumor in your local tavern, and decide to investigate the mysterious woods nearby? Did whispers of a powerful entity come through your home port, sending you off to wild and wondrous lands in order to find your first Eidolon?

Consider how your history helped shape you into the person you are today, and why it encouraged you to forge bonds with powerful entities that could likely otherwise eat you alive.

Mender

Menders have sworn themselves to taking care of others as equally as themselves. They are healers, in their own way, who often utilize their Eidolons to get into the thick of things in order to benefit their allies while protecting themselves from harm.

Deceptive Ploys

The uncommon art of Mesmerism is just that - an art. And it has been mostly lost to history. Most who practice this form or arcane magics do so as a way of tricking others and making money. Yet others still have made warriors of themselves on the battlefield with their ability to deceive and confuse their foes, granting the advantage on the field to their allies.

To Trick is the Game

To a Mesmerist, tricks and tactics are the literal name of the game. With the ability to make illusory duplicates of themselves in order to confuse enemies, a Mesmerist is a useful friend to have in a tight space.

Creating a Mesmerist

While you are creating your Mesmerist, consider how they learned the art of Mesmerism. Did they pick up an old dusty book from a library and learn its secrets? Were they trained in this practice by another in exchange for something useful or valuable?

Perhaps your character has seen a Mesmerist perform before, and wanted to duplicate the effects they saw. Perhaps they were a lonely urchin on the streets who needed someone else to help keep them safe, to watch over their back while they slept. Or perhaps they came from a grand house of minor nobility or moderate wealth, where making good and fanciful impressions is always paramount, and this was just another way to prove they were better than the rest.

Class Features

As a Mesmerist, you have the following class features.

Harbringer

The Harbringer is a portent of doom to any enemies that stand in their way. Their magics are paired with intense martial training, granting them the ability to fight alongside their allies while confounding enemies with their Mesmerist tricks.

Reactionary Shatter

When you take this subclass at 3rd level, you may now use your Reaction to Shatter your illusions.

A New Advantage

Starting at 6th level, you gain new ways to use your Shatter. Whenever you Shatter one or more of your illusions, you may choose to cause one of the following effects instead of a typical effect:

• Interrupt. This interrupts an Action being performed; if an illusion is Shattered as a Reaction to a creature making a melee or ranged attack, this Interrupts that attack and causes it to Critically Miss. If an Interrupted creature is Concentrating on a spell, it must make a Concentration check with Disdavantage immediately to maintain concentration.
• Rattled. A Rattled creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC at the start of each of its turns or be unable to move or make attacks against you or your illusions until it succeed on this saving throw.
• Vulnerable. The targeted creature is considered Vulnerable to the next damage it takes from any source.

A Dangerous Game

At 13th level, whenever you deal damage as a result of Shattering an illusion, a damaged creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, the result is considered a Critical Hit.

Intercede

At 20th level, whenever you use a Reaction to Shatter a dopple within 5 ft of a creature, that creature's turn ends.

Heal through Destruction

Beginning at 3rd when you take this subclass, whenever you Shatter an illusion, you can additionally heal yourself or a creature within 5 ft of the Shattered illusion 1d4 points of healing.

When you attain higher levels in this class, this healing dice goes up: 1d6 at 8th level, 1d8 at 11th level, 1d10 at 15th level, 1d12 at 19th level.

Support Network

At 6th level, you are capable of enhancing existing effects on the battlefield. Whenever a creature uses an ability that is positively or negatively effected by an existing status effect (such as Enhance Ability, Bless, Bane, or otherwise), you can use your Reaction to increase that dice type by 1 to the next type. (For example, a Bless normally grants 1d4 to the appropriate roll; you can use your Reaction to cause that roll to become a 1d6.) You must be within 60 ft of a creature attempting to make use of this ability in order for it to function.

Spellshot

In some cases, Artificers focus on the invention and perfection of modern "firearms" - handheld weapons which are capable of shooting out magic to various effects. These weapons utilize cartridges of pure, refined magic, and are capable of doing anything from damage to healing.

Painsmith

You have learned how to channel pain into opportunity. When you take this path at 3rd level, you gain the ability to, as a Reaction to taking damage, make one attack against a creature within your reach.

Quickened Rage

At 6th level, when you begin a battle with less than half of your HP, rounded down, you gain a +5 bonus to your Initiative roll and can begin combat in your Rage.

Warrior Unto Death

At 10th level, when you are at 10 HP or less and you are raging, your damage dice maximizes.

Death Dealer

At 14th level, when you fall to 0 HP, as a Reaction you can instead fall to 0 HP and can immediately take a full turn, interrupting whatever turn it currently is.

You can use this ability once per Long Rest.

Elemental Rage

Pick one of the following elements: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. As you grow stronger more elements are drawn to you. You gain an additional element at 7th, 13th, and 18th level.

Starting at 3rd level when you choose this Path, you gain the ability to unleash the raw forces of nature when you deal damage. While you are raging, whenever you hit with an attack you deal an additional 1d4 of your chosen elemental type. If you have more than one elemental feature, you choose which elemental damage types to perform.

Primal Aura

At 6th level the raw magic of the elements surrounds you. While you are Raging, you gain resistance to each of your chosen elemental types.

Concussive Blast

At 10th level you cause an explosion of the elemental forces of nature around you when you rage. When you enter a rage, each creature within 5 ft of you must make a Dexterity saving throw with a DC of 14 or be caught in the blast, taking 1d10 points of elemental damage. You choose which of your elemental damage types to perform.

Compounded Forces

At 14th level the unbridled force of your elemental powers has embedded itself fully within your soul. Whenever you deal elemental damage through this path's abilities, that damage now stacks per element. For example, a 13th level barbarian who has chosen cold, fire, and lightning as their elemental damage types, and whom performs a Concussive Blast, now does 1d10 of cold, 1d10 of fire, and 1d10 of lightning damage with their ability.

Recondite Ritual

Starting at 3rd level when you choose this Path, you learn an obscure ritual taught to you by another follower of this path or by a witch. You must perform this 10 minute ritual each time you finish a Long Rest in order to gain its benefits.

Performing this ritual allows you the ability to store the souls of your enemies and house them within a special talisman that you carry on you at all times. This talisman can be a trophy, such as a skull or hide, or something you have crafted, such as a carven wood totem.

When a creature dies within 30 ft of you while you are Raging, you can use your Reaction to shout a primal arcane word ("Captsus"). The soul is ripped out of the body of the deceased and stored within your talisman. You may only carry one soul on you at any given time. A soul captured in this way is stored within your Talisman until the next time you rage.

As an Action when you rage, you can shout a different primal arcane word ("Deterbis"). Each soul you carry within a talisman on your person is released into the world in a flash of arcane magic onto the battlefield.

Until the end of your rage they stay on the battlefield, regard you and your allies as friendly, and will fight on your behalf. When your rage ends, their souls depart the world, or you can release them as a Bonus Action on your turn.

While on the battlefield in this form, a soul uses the same stat block as it did in life. It rolls its own initiative.

You are limited in the strength of a spirit you can hold. As you grow in power, so too does your ability to hold onto stronger spirits. The table below determines what CR of creature you can trap in this way.

Bewitched Healing

At 6th level, you have learned how to make greater use of the spirit you have released into the world. As a Bonus Action on your turn, provided you are Raging, you may siphon the life energy out of a spirit you have released onto the battlefield. Roll 2d8. The spirit loses that amount of hit points and you gain that amount of HP.

Magic Sensitivity

At 3rd level, the holes in your soul have given a place for magic to take hold. You are not capable of controlling this magic, but it does make you especially sensitive to magic. You learn the spell Detect Magic and can cast it at will without material components.

Arcane Surge

Starting at 3rd level, unpredictable magic festers within you, bursting out when you experience fits of strong emotion. When you enter your rage, roll on the Arcane Surge table at the end of this subclass description.

If the Arcane Surge requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

Refusal to Change

At 6th level, the wild magic in you has dug its barbs in deep and refuses to let go or share. You gain Advantage on saving throws against spells or other magical effects that would attempt to Charm you or otherwise control you.

Arcane Siphon

At 10th level, your situational awareness of magic is at its peak. Whenever you see a creature being targeted by a spell or magical ability that you can also see, you can use your Reaction to expel a surge of your wild magic and absorb it onto you, causing it to target you instead. You can use this ability twice per Long Rest.

Magical Symbiote

At 14th level, the magic that has made its way into your soul has nestled in permanently, even if you recover the lost fragments of your soul.

You gain the following spells which you can cast once per Long Rest. If a spell requires a saving throw, you use your Arcane Surve saving throw.

• Erupting Earth
• Call Lightning
• Fireball
• Thunder Step
• Blight
• Ice Storm

Beginning at 2nd level, you gain a magical attack that targets enemies into the future. As a Bonus Action, you create a warbling sphere of energy that hovers above the head of a creature you can see within 120 ft.

Fate's Foresight

Throw the Bones

Beginning at 8th level, you gain the ability to not only forsee the future, but alter its outcome. At the end of every Short Rest, roll 1d20 and record that number for future use. Until your next Short Rest, you can choose any creature you can see who is making an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw and grant them the number you rolled on your dice instead of what they rolled.

Prophetic Force

At 17th level, you gain a powerful prophetic attack. As a Action, you can force a creature you can see within 60 ft of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, roll 1d4.

As a Bonus Action on your turn, you can phase through the Ethereal Plane and teleport from your current location to an unoccupied space within 60 ft.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom Modifier, and regain uses of it on a Long Rest.

Quickened Jaunt

Beginning at 8th level, whenever you use your Walk the Ways ability, and then follow it up with an Attack action, you gain one (1) additional Attack for that Action.

Phase Step

At 17th level, you can, as a Bonus Action on your turn, step from the Prime Material Plane into the Ethereal Plane, or vise-versa. While you are in the Ethereal Plane, you are immune to any effects which would restrict or impede your movement, even if you are under such effects while in the Prime Material Plane.

When you join this circle at 2nd level you gain the Find Familiar spell. This spell is always prepared.

Your familiar may additionally take the shape of a beast you have seen that you are capable of turning into with your Wild Shape ability.

Empowered Spirit

At 6th level, your bond with the spirits has strengthened. Your familiar is now willing to fight on your behalf. As a Bonus Action on your turn, you can order your familiar to move and take an Action. Your familiar uses the stat block appropriate to what sort of beast it is.

At 2nd level, you have honed your ability to reach out to the region around you and communicate with the creatures of that place. You learn Speak with Animals and Beast Bond, and these spelled are always prepared.

This may include such creatures as beasts, elementals, fey, mephits, or related planar creatures.

As a natural healer, you have the ability to infuse your own life energy into potions you craft with your Herbalism Kit, if you own one. At 2nd level, you gain proficiency in Medicine. When you attempt to create potions with your Herbalism Kit, you only require half the value in material components to do so.

Additionally, you gain the ability to heal your allies using your own life energy. As a Bonus Action, you may expend HP up to your Druid level + your WIS modifier and heal an ally for that amount.

Wildness of Shape

Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Wild Shape to turn into any creature whom has willingly given you a token of their form, provided that you meet the CR requirements. Wild Shape requirements, such as flying or swim speed, do not apply to this form.

A Token may be a feather from a giant owl, a scale from a fish, bottled steam from a steam mephit, water from a water elemental, or anything else that is willingly given. Once you have used this token to transform, the token is used up permanently.

Bound Totem

Starting at 10th level, you gain the ability to create a mystical Totem which can link an entity to you. You create a magical Totem infused with your Druidic magic, which is capable of binding a willing entity to it. While bound to the Totem, an entity resides in a demiplane. After being summoned once an entity may go free or may decide to continue to be bound, depending upon the entity.

To create this totem, you must spend 1 hour casting a special ritual on an item that is fit for being imbued with magic. This ritual requires 1,000g in incense, powdered precious gems, and magical chalks, all of which are consumed. Once the ritual is complete, this Totem becomes magical and cannot be broken by mundane means.

Storm Surge

At 2nd level, you have begun to learn how to harness the raw power of the storms themselves. Pick one of the following options. This option should reflect the sort of environment you live in or have grown up around. You gain a feature based upon this choice.
