Foreword

None of the art in this book is of my creation. This document is a passion project of mine, and any art provided is just meant to liven up otherwise dull text in the document. If any artist has any issue with my using any of their art in these books, simply reach out to me to let me know, and I will be happy to remove or replace any art as desired.

PART I

The Art of Expansion

New Optional System: Inflation Threshold

Typically speaking, in the standard system of ExpanD&D, any forms of Inflation are usually counted as temporary increases to a character's Fat or Muscle. This system exists for those who wish to track inflation with a degree more granularity, and for those who want a system to simulate the threat of bursting from overinflation.

New Mechanical Terms: Inflate, Deflate, Expand, Compress, Bloat, Drain

Similar to Fatten, Slim, Swell, and Shrink, these terms will be shorthand for the varieties of inflation a character can undergo.

Inflate. expand the body with a number of pounds of lighter-than-air pressure.

Deflate. Reduce the pounds lighter-than-air pressure in the body.

Expand. Expand the body with a number of pounds of air-pressure.

Compress. Reduce the pounds of air-pressure in the body.

Bloat. Expand the body with a number of pounds of liquid pressure.

Drain. Expel pounds of liquid pressure from the body.

Inflation and the Pressure Limit

Using the optional system, Pounds of inflation pressure are tracked separate from pounds of muscle or pounds of fat, though they have an interaction with both, as well as their own threshold with its own penalties. Track each of the three types of inflation separately, as they will determine certain factors, though they add together to determine your total inflation and progress toward your inflation threshold.

To determine your Pressure Limit, multiply the sums of your Dexterity and Constitution scores by 10. This is the maximum amount of inflation a character can receive before they start to take on penalties. Higher Inflation Threshold penalties include the penalties for lower thresholds as well.

Inflation interactions with other limits

Inflation of the body has a lot of situation interactions with how a character handles their body weight. Each of the three types of inflation have their own levels of interaction. Each pound of inflation affects a character's effective weight for Bulk or Flex as mentioned below on a 1-to-1 basis. These forms of inflation do not act as Fat or Muscle in any other regard than adding to or removing from a character's effective mass for their limits. It does not affect the character's carrying capacity or ability to carry fat like muscle does, and it does not qualify as fat or muscle for any abilities that call upon it.

Lighter-than-air pressure subtracts from the character's Bulk, but adds to a character's Flex

Air Pressure. Affects neither a character's Bulk nor Flex.

Liquid pressure. Adds to a character's Bulk but subtracts from their Flex.

Inflation Thresholds

The following are the penalties that apply for a character inflating beyond their Pressure Limit.

Stretched. If a character has exceeded their Pressure Limit they are considered stretched. Their balance is put off, granting them Disadvantage on Dexterity(Acrobatics) checks, as well as checks and saves made to resist being knocked prone.

Taut. If a character has reached an inflation level of 2 times their Pressure Limit they are considered taut. Their stretched physique gives them disadvantage on Constitution checks and saving throws and their base stomach capacity is halved, and any stomach capacity increase from Stuffing Yourself is halved as well.

Ballooned. If a character has reached an inflation level of 3 times their Pressure Limit they are considered ballooned. If the majority of their inflation is Lighter-than-air, they permanently have the Inflated Condition. If the majority of their inflation is Liquid, they permanently have the Waterlogged condition. If the majority of their inflation is Air, they permanently have the Overblown condition

Inflation and Size Category

Pressure Limits increase and decrease by size category at the same rate as Bulk and Flex Limits.

Optional Rule: Overtaxing

This rule is optional even when using this optional system. If your game is using this system, there is an even greater threat of being inflated too far past your Pressure Limit, in that your character may very well just burst by adding a 4th threshold. If a character has reached an inflation level of 4 times their Pressure Limit they are considered Overtaxed. After a character has reached this stage of their inflation threshold, every instance of additional pressure added to them, no matter which type of inflation it is, causes them to make a Constitution Saving throw. This saving throw ignores the disadvantage applied by the Taut stage, but not any other disadvantage the character might have.

The first such saving throw a character makes only has a DC of 10. However, until the character is reduced below the Ballooned Threshold, every subsequent instance that triggers another saving throw has its DC increased by 2.

When a character fails one of these saving throws, they burst. All of their inflation is removed, and they drop to 0 hit points.

Losing Inflation

Unlike Muscle and Fat, Inflation is not a natural bodily process that builds and decreases in slow natural increments. To that end, the following base system is in place to cover how inflated characters can lose that inflation over time.

At the end of each long rest, an inflated character can lose half of their current Inflation of one type, rounded up. If they have an allied character assisting them in deflating themselves, they can either choose to also lose half of another type of inflation, rounded up, or they can choose to lose three quarters of one type, rounded up. This reflects that as pressure is released, it becomes harder and harder to remove those last traces of pressure completely.

A character can attempt to do the same on a Short rest, but amounts of Inflation pressure lost are half those of a long rest.

Optional Action Rule: Pressure Release

Another optional method to allow some mid-combat release of pressure, a character can use their Action to take the Pressure Release action. When a character takes the Pressure Release action, roll any number of your hit dice, reducing your current Inflation by the result of the roll plus your Proficiency bonus, divided how you choose among any of the three types of inflation. This does not expend your hit dice.

You can use this Action a number of times equal to your Character level, regaining a number of uses up to your Proficiency bonus at the end of a long rest.

Optional Rule: Floating

Characters inflated with lighter-than-air gases may eventually begin to float on their own. This motion isn't quick and barely controlled, but it can be of use. If your campaign is using this optional rule, then when a character's lighter-than-air Inflation Pressure would exceed the weight of their regular Body Mass, including equipment carried, plus any Liquid Inflation they might have, even if they have not reached the Ballooned inflation threshold, they begin to float. They gain a flying speed of 10 (hover), but cannot descend more than 5 feet in a round, and cannot move closer than 5 feet away from any ground or water surface under their own power. They also do not naturally fall if something would knock them prone. This movement speed increases to 20 if their lighter-than-air Inflation Pressure is more than double the weight of their Body Mass and any Liquid Inflation they might have., and increases by another 10 feet each time they increase their Lighter-than-air Inflation Pressure by their total body weight, meaning at 3 times their body weight it will 30 feet, at 4 it will be 40 feet, and so on, to a maximum of 60 feet. A floating character can never move closer to any ground or water surface under their own power than half of the fly speed provided by their inflation in feet.

Once a character has achieved this lift, they can also carry other objects and potentially characters with them. Whenever a floating character attempts to carry someone or something else, add that creature or object's weight to their own to determine whether the character remains floating, and if so, how fast their fly speed is.

Magical Errata

With the introduction of the Inflation threshold, the following changes need to be made to any spells in other books that reference inflation without the use of the Inflation threshold.

  • Any spells that inflate a target with a substance now properly Inflate, Expand, or Bloat the target as appropriate to the substance, whether it be liquid, air, or lighter-than-air gases.
  • Subsequently, any spells that would 'immobilize' a target via inflation instead render the target Ballooned.

PART II

Inflated Egos

New Fatty Abilities

Listed below are additional options for the Racial Variant Traits - Fatty Abilities as listed in the ED&D core book, for more of the official DnD races.

Genasi - Elemental Capacity (Ancestral)

Your attunement to the elemental planes allows you to add your Charisma score to your Dexterity and Constitution scores to determine your Pressure Limit.

Kobold - Stretchy Hide (Ancestral)

The skin and scales of a kobold actually stretch rather easily, even when they are turned into a balloon. You do not suffer the effects of being Taut.

Barbarian

Path of Sea and Sky

Scion of the Horizon

Starting when you choose this path at level 3, you can channel the sea or sky whenever you rage. Choose between the following options whenever you rage, which last until the rage is over.

Sea: A heavy mist surrounds you, coating things in thick droplets. You become one with the waves, calling upon the sea foam to weaken blows. You reduce all damage you take by your Constitution modifier before weaknesses or resistances are applied. Each round you are raging, you bloat for a number of d6’s equal to your proficiency mod.

Sky: Wind blows around you in a small personal bluster. You embrace the lift and speed of the winds, carrying you forward to victory. You increase your speed by 10ft. Each round you are raging, you inflate for a number of d6’s equal to your proficiency mod.

Voluptuous Volume

Beginning at 6th level, you become able to empower yourself when coming closer to rain and wind. Your choice of sea or sky gives you greater power while you are raging. Additionally, you no longer experience penalties for being over your Stretched limit. At level 14, this extends to your Taut limit.

Sea: Each time you deal damage with a weapon attack, you may bloat by a number of pounds equal to twice the total damage dealt. While you are at least stretched, you have a swim speed equal to your move speed and can breathe underwater. Additionally, your weapon attacks deal an additional 1d6 bludgeoning damage that increases to 2d6 at level 14.

Sky: Each time you deal damage with a weapon attack, you may inflate by a number of pounds equal to twice the total damage dealt. While you are at least stretched, you are constantly under the effects of the slow fall spell and gain a jump distance equal to your move speed. Additionally, your weapon attacks deal an additional 1d6 piercing damage that increases to 2d6 at level 14.

Natural Empowerment

Beginning at 10th level, if you are under your taut limit when you begin to rage, you may bloat or inflate up to your taut limit depending on whether you choose sea or sky, bloating for the former and inflating for the latter. You may also naturally absorb inflation from naturally available sources you are touching, such as falling rain or a windy mountain peak. You may absorb this inflation at a rate of 2 times your barbarian level per minute.

Elemental Projection

Also at 10th level, you become able to expend your inflation to help you in combat, depending on your chosen form while raging.

Sea: Through the relentless press of the waves, you can knock aside your foes. By expending 50lbs of liquid inflation whenever you hit a creature with an attack, you can additionally make a shove attempt against them as part of the same attack.

Sky: By using the power of the winds contained inside of you, you can sail through the air. By expending 50lbs of lighter than air inflation as part of your movement, you may move as though you had a fly speed equal to your move speed. You do not fall at the end of your turn, but do fall if you do not use the ability again at the start of your next turn. By expending an additional 50lbs, you can also move a willing or grappled target you are touching that is the same size as yourself without reducing your move speed.

Approaching Storm

At 14th level, you learn to control and unleash the storm within to its fullest. Rain and wind whips around you in a 15ft aura while you’re raging. While in this storm, you and your allies cannot be knocked prone or forcibly moved, instead inflating or bloating (your choice) equal to twice your barbarian level each time such an effect is prevented. There is an additional effect depending on your chosen form while raging.

Sea: The water around you moves with you, dancing to your own movement. When you hit a creature within your aura, you can make an additional attack at disadvantage against another creature aside from the original target within your aura. This attack may also use Elemental Projection.

Sky: The wind around you is a hurricane force, shielding you from foes. Any ranged attacks made against you within the aura are made at disadvantage. Additionally, the force of the gale carries the force of your attacks, and you may treat the entirety of your aura as within your melee threat range for making attacks.

Cleric

Girth Domain

More of an ideal than a domain, those who worship the Girth have a belief in holy pressure, the beauty of roundness, and spreading their ideal form. Be it filling oneself with to become a holy vessel, to showing off their faith with extreme size, their devotion has given them divine power.

Girth Domain Spells

Cleric level Spells
Level 1 Absorb Expansion, Tailwind
Level 3 Air Pocket, Drenching Mote
Level 5 Aura of Deflation, Ballooning Weapon
Level 7 Flowing Guard, Soda Pop
Level 9 Clear Water, Sirocco's Wailing

Blessed Body

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Blessed Pressure

Also at 1st level, your divine spells are able to affect the size of those around you. When you restore a creature’s hitpoints with a cleric spell, you can cause the creature to Inflate, Expand, or Bloat equal to twice the healing done. Conversely, you may have them Deflate, Compress, or Drain the same amount instead.

Channel Divinity: Expansive Ministrations

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to allow others to gain strength from your adoration. As an action, you create a field of positive energy around you for the next 10 minutes. All allied creatures including yourself within 15 feet of you that are stretched or taut do not suffer penalties from being over those limits as long as they remain within range and you are conscious.

Additionally, you no longer suffer penalties for being stretched.

Divine Blimp

When you reach level 6, your spells become more powerful when being used on those of great width. Healing spells you cast heal 1 additional point per die rolled for each pressure limit the target has surpassed. Spells you cast on targets last 1 additional round after you’ve stopped concentrating on them for each pressure limit the target is over.

Additionally, Whenever a creature within 5 feet of you uses the pressure release action, you may expend your reaction and instead have the creature gain pressure of a type they already have equal to the amount they would have lost.

Inflated Spellcasting

At 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip. In addition, enemies damaged by your cleric cantrips gain a number of pounds of inflation of your choice equal to the damage dealt. You add an extra multiplier of inflation for each pressure limit you are over. Such as x2 the damage as inflation while stretched, x3 while taut, etc.

Grand Ballooning

At 17th level, your faith pours out of you, and all are affected by it. Whenever you cast a spell or make an attack that deals damage but does not normally cause them to gain inflation, you may have the target gain pressure of any kind equal to double the damage dealt. If you cast a spell that does not deal damage, and does not normally cause a creature to gain inflation, you may have the target gain pressure of any kind equal to ten times the level of spell slot used.

Additionally, your Expansive Ministrations ability now prevents creatures you choose from suffering from overtaxing while within 30ft of you.

Fleshbound

Way of the Vessel

Originally serving as living containers for transport of gasses and liquids, the Vessels were one of the Fleshbound groups that suffered greatly at the hands of the Lipomantic empires, often being used to transport dangerous substances at the cost of their own health. Since their freedom, the art has been honed for the benefit of the fleshbound rather than the detriment, and is used to defend, transport, and immobilize their enemies.

Vessel Save DC

Several abilities in this archetype will require saving throws. These are made against your Vessel Save DC listed below.

Vessel Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Wisdom modifier

Vessel Forms

Beginning at 3rd level, the Vessel's Flesh Shape Forms are modified to reflect their wielder's capacity for self-inflation, each gaining unique additional abilities.

Elastic becomes Air Tank: in addition to the normal abilities of your form, you gain the ability to intake and exhale vast quantities of air. You can Expand yourself for an amount up to a roll of your Living Weapon Die multiplied by your Fleshbound level when you take this form and at the start of each of your turns. As long as you have any air pressure in your body in this form, you can hold your breath indefinitely, and other creatures have disadvantage when attempting to grapple you.

Inflated becomes Gas Valve: in addition to the normal abilities of your form, you fill with ligher-than-air gases. You can Inflate yourself for an amount up to a roll of your Living Weapon Die multiplied by your Fleshbound level when you take this form and at the start of each of your turns. As long as you have any lighter-than-air pressure in your body in this form, you have a flying speed equal to half your movement speed.

Engorged becomes Water Spout: in addition to the normal abilities of your form, you fill with vast quantities of fluid. You can Bloat yourself for an amount up to a roll of your Living Weapon Die multiplied by your Fleshbound level when you take this form and at the start of each of your turns. As long as you have any liquid pressure in your body in this form, you gain a ranged attack that you are proficient with, which has a range of 60 feet and deals your Living Weapon Die + your Constitution modifier bludgeoning damage to a struck target and Bloats them for four times the damage dealt.

Inflation Kiss

Also at 3rd level, you can use a bonus action to use this ability on a target you are grappling, who is willing, or who is restrained and adjacent to you. When you do, you remove any amount of one type of pressure from your body and attempt to force it into your target. They must make a Constitution Saving throw. On a failure, they gain all of the pressure you lost, and the sudden rush of pressure renders them Inflated, Overblown, or Waterlogged (depending on what type of pressure you flooded them with) until the end of your next turn. On a success, they gain half as much, and do not suffer any extra conditions.

Intake Technique

Beginning at 6th level, you can easily inflate yourself with any environmental factors, even outside of your flesh shapes. As an Action, you can take in nearby Air, Liquid, or lighter-than-air gases, as long as there is a source of such within 5 feet of you. You consume and fill yourself with a number of pounds in one action up to a maximum of Ten times the sum of your Fleshbound level plus your Constitution and Strength modifiers, divided as you choose among any available sources.

You can also control how much inflation you lose over a long a rest if you choose to do so, letting you choose to lose any amount of inflation of your choice up to your full inflation amount of a single type of inflation. With an allied character's assistance, you can do the same with a second type of inflation.

Expulsion Defense

Beginning at 11th level, when you would be struck by an attack, you can use your reaction to expel half of one type of pressure inside of you to impose disadvantage on the attack and, after the attack resolves, regardless of whether it still hits, move yourself up to half your movement speed in a straight line in a direction of your choice.

Vacuum Pull

At 14th level, when you use your Intake Technique, you can pull from sources that are within 60 feet of you, and you can attempt to pull any number of creatures that are within that range towards you. Each chosen creature must make a Strength Saving throw or be pulled up to 30 feet directly towards you.

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

Incredible Capacity

At 17th level, your Pressure Limit is doubled, and you no longer suffer negative penalties for being Stretched or Taut.

Additionally, When you use your Inflation Kiss feature, you can choose two types of inflation to attempt to fill your target with.

Druid

Druid Circle of the Flowing Sap

The Swelling Plague

The Swelling Plague is the disease that the Flowing Sap spreads. The Plague's original purpose is surprisingly benign- trying to cure hunger and spreading their generosity. However, it can be easily weaponized, and its degeneration over time from starvation cure to sickness is not entirely accidental. The disease acts in the following ways:

Growth Rate. The infected creature begins rapidly reproducing food within itself as pounds of pressure. The growth rate is equal to four times the druid’s level. At the start of the creature’s turn whenever they are in combat or in a similarly stressful situation, they gain pressure equal to the growth rate. When outside of combat, they gain pressure every hour. Any pressure that is created by this plague removed from the creature creates an equal amount of pounds of fatty food.

Exposure. Creatures that come into contact with the food created by the plague are also subject to being infected, rolling against your spell save DC and being immune for 24 hours on a success. This could happen in situations such as an overtaxed infected creature bursts (15ft radius around them), assisting an infected creature with the pressure release action, taking pressure from the infected creature, eating the created food, or any other similar situation. New infections can only happen within 1000ft of the Flowing Sap Druid since they are the center of the magical plague.

Curing the Disease. Every 24 hours, an infected creature can make an additional Constitution saving throw to recover from the disease. The disease can also be cured by any other effects that end diseases, such as a Paladin's Lay on Hands or the Lesser Restoration spell. When the disease ends for an infected creature, they don't lose any pressure in their bodies, but the food inside them ceases to be infectious, and they cannot be reinfected within 24 hours.

Druid Sanction. At any point, the Druid can use their Action to sanction a target that they touch. This cures the target of the Foundry Plague if they are infected with it, and also makes them immune to the plague until the druid revokes the sanction as a bonus action.

Herald of Plenty

When you join the Circle of the Flowing sap at 2nd level, you grow a mutation somewhere on your body. As an action, this mutation can be used to make a ranged spell attack against a creature of your choice within 30 ft. This attack force-feeds the targeted creature an amount of fatty food equal to 1d4 plus the Druid’s wisdom modifier. If the target eats any of this food, they must make a Constitution Saving throw against your Spell Save DC. A creature that succeeds the saving throw is immune to the disease for the next 24 hours. They are infected by the Swelling Plague on a failure.

You can use the following list of potential products a person can be infected to produce. These are just examples, but the substance must be able to escape the body, and be edible. You can choose from this list, roll randomly, or create your own. However, each Flowing Sap Druid can only produce one type of food.

d10 Food (Pressure Type)
1 Chocolate (Liquid)
2 Blueberry (Liquid)
3 Sap (Liquid)
4 Milk (Liquid)
5 Jello (Liquid)
6 Honey (Liquid)
7 Whipped Cream (Air)
8 Cotton Candy (Air)
9 Pop Rocks (Lighter than Air)
10 Savory Steam (Lighter than Air)

Swollen Feast

Starting at 6th level, the Druid gains greater control over the Plague within other creatures. As a bonus action, the druid may target an infected creature who is at least over their stretched limit within 30ft. You cause some of the food being produced within them to convert into food within their stomachs. This effectively feeds them a number of d4’s of food equal to your wisdom modifier, and they lose an equal amount of pressure of the type your plague produces. You may use this ability an amount of times equal to your proficiency modifier, regaining these uses after a long rest.

Self Production

At 6th level, the Druid has become infected with their own disease, which they can freely pause or resume the Infection Rate of at will. Additionally, as long as the majority of their pressure is the same type as their plague, the druid does not suffer penalties from being stretched or taut.

Rampant Surge

At 10th level, the Druid has managed to make their infection more potent. Whenever they use their Herald of Plenty action and successfully infect a target, they may expend one use of their wild shape ability to immediately increase the target’s pressure equal to their pressure limit with their chosen food. The sudden surge in growth is very distracting for the target creature, forcing them to make another constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or be stunned until the end of your next turn.

Envoy of Expansion

At level 14, the Druid has become one with the disease. As a reaction whenever a creature gains pressure from your plague while above their second pressure limit, you can force them to make a roll against overtaxing. Bursting in this way does not reduce the creature to 0 hit points, but does still reduce them to 0 pressure. Instead, the target, along with all other creatures in a 20ft radius of the target, take an amount of 1d4s of force damage equal to your druid level and gain pressure equal to double the damage dealt in the form of your plague food. This forces each affected creature not already infected to roll against your infection.

Creatures that would normally suffer overtaxing automatically succeed unless you allow them to fail, if the increase in pressure was the result of your plague.

Additionally, your plague now counts as a magical disease, and cannot be cured as a regular disease.

Monk

Way of the Crashing Wave

For some, the dynamic, rhythmic cycles of the seas and oceans is the height of enlightenment. Monks of the way of the Crashing Wave learn to not just emulate the cycle of the ocean, but make it part of themselves. Through meditation and practice, water becomes their weapon, their protector, and their tool to bring balance to the world around them.

Wave Stance

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn to manipulate water around you to enhance your martial arts. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 ki point to summon water around yourself. When you do so, each creature of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take cold damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die and bloat for five times the damage dealt.

For 10 minutes, these swirling tendrils of water move around you. This stance ends early if you are incapacitated or die.

While in wave stance, you gain the following benefits:

  • You can use your Wisdom modifier in place of your Strength modifier when making Strength checks and Strength saving throws.

  • When you make an unarmed strike, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal, and creatures you strike, and yourself if you choose, bloat for double the damage dealt.

  • The unarmed strikes you make can use your Wisdom modifier in place of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls, and you may choose whether the damage type is bludgeoning or cold.

  • When using Step of the Wind, you may move across the surface of water as though it were solid ground. At the end of your turn if you are still standing on water, you sink as normal.

Saturated Form

When you reach 6th level, your connection to water increases. You become stronger when you bloat in the same way you’ve been bloating your enemies. When you enter your Wave Stance, you may spend 1 additional ki point and bloat up to your stretched limit. You no longer suffer penalties for being over your first pressure limit. In addition, you gain the following benefits while in Wave Stance and at least stretched:

Sloshing Defense: You have resistance to bludgeoning and cold damage.

Flowing Form: You gain a swim speed equal to your move speed and can breath underwater.

Hydraulic Slam: When you successfully strike a creature with an unarmed strike, you may expend 1 ki point and forfeit any damage you would have dealt, and instead have them bloat for five times the damage you would have rolled. Additionally, if the creature is size large or smaller they must succeed on a strength saving throw or be moved up to 15ft in any direction of your choice, or knocked prone instead.

Rising Tide

Starting at 11th level, you’ve focused your control over the moving tides within you. You no longer suffer penalties for being over your taut limit. Additionally, you gain the following benefits:

Cleansing Renewal: By spending 1 minute touching a willing creature and spending 2 ki points, you bloat the creature equal to their Pressure Limit and grant them the benefit of a Lesser Restoration spell.

Crashing Blows: While using your Wave Stance, Once on each of your turns when you hit a target with an unarmed strike, you can deal extra damage to the target equal to your Martial Arts die.

Rising Tide: Whenever you cause a creature to bloat over one of their Pressure Limits, you may expend a reaction to regain 1 ki point and bloat equal to a roll of your martial arts die times five. You still cannot have more ki points than normally allowed by your level.

Ocean’s Fury

Starting at 17th level, you’ve become one with elemental water, allowing you to fully embody its power and make use of it in turn. You gain the following benefits:

Grand Vessel: While in Wave Stance, you do not suffer any penalties for being Waterlogged and do not experience overtaxing. If you are still Waterlogged when your Wave Stance ends, you may harmlessly expel liquid pressure to put you just under that third limit. While waterlogged, if you are struck by an attack, you may expend your reaction to gain resistance to all damage dealt by the attack and lose water pressure equal to twice the damage dealt by the attack.

Water Mastery: You have advantage to strike any creature that is at least over their stretched limit with a majority of liquid pressure.

Sorcerer

Zephyrtouched Sorcerous Origin

The magic of those touched by the elemental plane of Air is, if nothing else, dramatic. From the emergence of their powers to the peak of their abilities the Zephyrtouched are easily spotted for their unique approach to magic. From young sorcerers turning family members into balloons when they first discover their powers to the masters of their art swelling whole armies into spherical shapes, the Zephyrtouched sorcerer leaves their mark wherever they go. Usually floating rapidly away from them.

Wind Magic

You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Zephyrtouched Spells table. Each spell counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know. These spells can’t be replaced when you gain a level in this class.

Sorcerer Level Spells
Level 1 Aerokinetic Blast, Zephyr Strike
Level 3 Warding Wind, Airs of Rejection
Level 5 Aura of Deflation, Wind Wall
Level 7 Freedom of Movement, Summon Elemental (Air Only)
Level 9 Aerostasis, Sirocco’s Wailing

Breeze Glide

Starting at 1st level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to cause whirling gusts of elemental air to briefly surround you, immediately before or after you cast a spell of 1st level or higher. Doing so allows you to fly up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks. You Inflate for 10 times the level of spell cast. Additionally, you do not suffer penalties for being over your stretched limit if the majority is lighter than air pressure.

Lifting Spell

At 6th level, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to cause a spell that does damage to also inflate a one creature affected by the spell equal to double the damage dealt. Optionally, you may instead inflate yourself for double the damage dealt and the target for four times the damage dealt.

Aeromantic

At 6th level, you’ve adapted to the rushing air within you, gaining even more benefits.

If it is windy, you can use a bonus action each round to choose the direction that the wind blows in a 100-foot-radius sphere centered on you. The wind blows in that direction until the end of your next turn. This feature doesn't alter the speed of the wind.

You no longer suffer fall damage from any height less than 100 feet. If you fall farther than 100ft, you may immediately inflate up to your second Pressure Limit as a reaction upon touching the ground, negating any fall damage you would have sustained. Once you’ve used this feature this way, you must take a long rest before you can use it again.

You do not suffer penalties for being over your taut limit if the majority is lighter than air pressure.

Aerial Ace

Starting 14th level, you have near complete control over the lighter than air inflation inside of you. As long as you have more lighter than air inflation than the rest of your body mass, you have a flying speed equal to your regular, unimpeded move speed. If the Floating Rule would give you a higher flying speed, you may use that speed instead, but with no limitation on how you can move with it.

Additionally, you may touch a willing creature as a bonus action and grant them the above effect for one turn, inflating them equal to your sorcerer level times four. They don’t fall until the end of your next turn if they would, and maintain the benefit if you use your bonus action to touch them again on subsequent turns.

Winds of the Air-touched

At 14th level, your magic has become even more powerful while you’re filled up with elemental air. Anytime you cast a spell granted by your Wind Magic against a target who has less inflation than you, they roll any saves at disadvantage, and you make any attack checks at advantage.

Zephyr Aura

At 18th level, you become master of the winds. As an action, you can create an aura of volatile air currents around yourself that extends 30ft and lasts for 1 minute. Any ranged attack made against a target, or by a creature within your aura automatically misses unless you allow the attack to proceed normally. Each time you prevent an attack this way, you inflate equal to five times the result of the attempted attack roll. You must decide if you allow an attack to go through before knowing the result of the attack roll. Once you use this ability, you must take a short rest before you can use it again.

Additionally, you no longer risk overtaxing while inflated unless you gain pressure that would cause you to become two size categories above your normal size, such as a medium creature becoming huge. This control also means you do not suffer penalties to spellcasting and attacks from the inflated Condition.

Warlock

Pact of the Bomb

Perhaps as a sort of joke, or perhaps your own body being unable to handle the power of your patron, you have made the pact of the bomb. Every day your body continues to expand, and when it grows too large you release it all as an explosion of power. Then you merely start growing all over again.

Filling the Charge

When you complete a long rest, select a form of inflation; Liquid, Air, or Lighter than Air. At the start of each hour, roll a number of d6s equal to your Warlock level. You grow equal to the result in pounds of your selected form of inflation. This amount of D6s of growth is considered your Charge.

If you are considered Stretched for any reason, you are considered Primed to detonate.

In combat your growth becomes Agitated. At the start of each of your turns, you grow for one half of your Charge.

Detonation

When you are Primed, you may use your Action to detonate yourself. You lose all inflation pressure, releasing it in a burst around you. The radius of this explosion starts at 5 feet, but increases by 5 feet for every 300 pounds of total pressure lost this way.

Each creature within range of your explosion must make a Constitution saving throw against your Spell DC or gain inflation pressure of your chosen type equal to your Charge. The explosion deals 1d6 points of magical bludgeoning damage for each of your Warlock levels, or half as much on a successful save.

At the end of each of your turns in combat, If you are at or above 2 times your Pressure Limit you must make a Constitution Saving throw against your Spell DC or Detonate automatically.

New Eldritch Invocations

Explosive Overdrive

Prerequisite: Pact of the Bomb

At the start of combat, if you are not considered Primed, you may trigger your Charge as a reaction and multiply the result by your charisma modifier. Additionally, you can trigger your Charge once every 10 minutes outside of combat.

Shaped Shelling

Prerequisite: Pact of the Bomb

Whenever you Detonate, you may use a cone instead that is twice the length of your burst radius.

Reactive Blowback

Prerequisite: Pact of the Bomb

Whenever a creature hits you with a melee attack while you are Primed, you can use your Reaction to lose 100lbs of inflation of your current Charge type and fling yourself 10ft in any direction to a free space.

Eldritch Circulation

Prerequisite: Pact of the Bomb

Whenever your Charge causes you to grow, you can have any creature adjacent to you who is willing or restrained suffer the effects instead. Additionally, if you are Primed, you can use your bonus action to restrain any creature grappled by you.

Eldritch Detonation

Prerequisite: Pact of the Bomb, 5th level

You gain additional control over your Detonation. You can choose to make your detonation deal your choice of Fire, Cold, Acid, Thunder, or Poison damage instead of the normal Bludgeoning damage.

Frenzied growth

Prerequisite: Pact of the Bomb, 5th level

Whenever your Charge causes growth, you can trigger it a second time.

Restrained Explosion

Prerequisite: Pact of the Bomb, 7th level

When you use your action to Detonate, you may control the release, losing only half of your accumulated pressure, but also only dealing half damage. This also affects the radius of the explosion.

Manifold Growth

Prerequisite: Pact of the Bomb, 7th level

When you select the form of inflation applied by your Charge at the end of your long rest, you instead may select two. Any time your Charge triggers, you can select which of those two forms of growth the total roll is applied as. At 12th level, you may choose all three forms of inflation instead.

Grand Detonation

Prerequisite: Pact of the Bomb, 11th level

If your current size category is larger than your base size category, increase the damage die from Detonation to d8’s. At 17th level, this can increase the damage to d10’s if you are two size categories larger than your base.

Until the spell ends, you can use your action to move the whirlwind up to 30 feet in any direction along the ground. The whirlwind sucks up any Medium or smaller objects that aren’t secured to anything and that aren’t worn or carried by anyone.

A creature must make a Dexterity saving throw the first time on a turn that it enters the whirlwind or that the whirlwind enters its space, including when the whirlwind first appears. A creature inflates by 10d12lbs on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. In addition, a Large or smaller creature that fails the save must succeed on a Strength saving throw or become restrained in the whirlwind until the spell ends. When a creature starts its turn restrained by the whirlwind, the creature is pulled 5 feet higher inside it, unless the creature is at the top.

A restrained creature moves with the whirlwind and falls when the spell ends, unless the creature has some means to stay aloft.
