Introduction
This book is intended to serve as an ExpanD&D Supplement, adding additional content to help make the Final Fantasy XIV D&D Compendium for 5e (and by extension Final Fantasy in general) more compatible with ED&D content. For the core mechanics of ED&D, please see the ExpanD&D Revised document.
Table Of Contents
PART I
Races
Fatty Fantasy Races
The first step is to help out the Final Fantasy races in their descent into heedless gluttony. To that end, provided below are additional rules for the races of Final Fantasy listed in the FFXIV Compendium.
Fatty Abilities
Au Ra(Xaela)-Aggressive Eater
You can add your Strength modifier in addition to your Constitution modifier for Eating checks and to determine Stomach Capacity.
Au Ra(Raen)-Charismatic Feeder
When you take the Force-Feeding Action, you can use your Charisma modifier with your Athletics proficiency rather than your Strength modifier for the roll.
Elezen-Metabolic Control
Elezen have somewhat more control over their physiology than most races. During a long rest, an Elezen can add or remove exercise points to their metabolism up to their proficiency bonus.
Garlean-Natural Glutton
Garleans are culturally insatiable creatures, and take just as well to food as anything else. You have proficiency in the Eating skill.
Hrothgar-Voracious Predator
As an Action, you can force a character with less hit points than your Character Level + your Constitution modifier to make a Strength Saving throw (DC 8 + your Proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failure, you swallow them whole.
A creature you swallow in this way begins suffocating and is blinded, restrained, and incapacitated while in your stomach, and the creature contributes 1/10th of its weight for the purpose of determining your fullness. If you fall to 0 hit points while you have a creature in your stomach, it is neither restrained nor incapacitated and can exit your body using 5 feet of movement, ending the blindness. If a creature falls to 0 hit points in your stomach, they turn into into an amount of Fatty food equal to 1/10th their total weight. Any edible items are immediately consumed with the creature, and activate their effects on you. Any inedible items are coughed up on your next short or long rest.
Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
Hyur(Midlander)-Impressive Capacity
Midlander Hyur count as one size larger than normal when determining Stomach capacity, but not exercise requirements or any other factors.
Hyur(Highlander)-Natural Musculature
Highlander Hyur build muscle naturally quickly, and can convert up to double the normal amount of fat they would gain into muscle over the course of a long rest.
Lalafell(Plainsfolk&Dunefolk)-Food Cunning
You have advantage on saving throws made to resist eating food involuntarily.
Lalafell(Norvrandt Dwarf)-Heavy Hauler
Your movement speed is not reduced by being Impeded.
Miqo'te-Lazy Glutton
If you do not move on your turn, your can use your bonus action to instantly digest a number of pounds of food in your stomach up to your Proficiency bonus, adding them to your Diet points for the day and releasing a burst of gas that imposes disadvantage on attack rolls made by enemies within 5 feet of you until the start of your next turn. You can do this a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier, regaining expended uses at the end of a long rest.
Roegadyn-Competetive Eating
Whenever you roll to stuff yourself, the amount you increase your stomach capacity by increases by 1 for each ally you can see wtithin 30 feet (to a maximum of +5).
Viera-Ravenous Eaters
The amount of food you can eat in a single Eating action is doubled.

Gunbreaker
Barrel Style
The Barrel Style is a relatively recent innovation in the art of the Gunbreaker, devoted to reinforcing the idea of the wielder as the bulwark between their allies and danger, specifically by using the aetheric charge of the Gunblade's shells to reinforce the wielder themselves, turning the energies of a munitions discharge inward as well as outward. This surfeit of additional aether is not always good for the waistline, of course.
Lipomantic Chamber
Beginning at 3rd level, you have augmented your Gunblade's chamber to siphon off some of the excess energy of munition detonation into your own body, reinforcing your durability when you fire the weapon.
Whenever you expend Munitions charges, you may choose to roll 1d10 for each Munition charge expended. You fatten and gain Temporary Hit points equal to the result. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus, regaining expended uses on a short or long rest.
Engorging Shell
Beginning at 6th level, you've also learned to turn the lipomantic energies of your gunblade outward as well as inward to debilitate and disorientate your opponents.
Whenever you deal damage to an opponent with your Gunner Shot or Burst Strike features, you can expend an additional Munitions charge to cause any affected targets to fatten for twice the damage they took from the attack. This feature can also be used with any abilities that replace Gunner Shot or Burst Strike, such as Blasting Zone or Sonic Breaker.
When a creature is fattened this way, until the end of their next turn their movement speed is halved and attack rolls they make are made with disadvantage, as they adjust to their new weight.
Ballistic Interjection
Beginning at 10th level, whenever an ally of yours is targeted by an attack roll while they are within a distance of you equal to your movement speed, you can interpose yourself between them and the attack by launching yourself with your Gunblade as a Reaction.
When you do so, you expend two Munitions charges and move up to your speed in a straight line toward your ally, halting in a space adjacent to them. If you cannot make this movement due to an obstruction, the attempt fails and you halt at the obstruction. Upon arriving in the space adjacent to your ally, you trade positions with them, becoming the new target of the attack that been aimed at them.
Sympathetic Feedback
At 14th level, you have learned to channel the fury of your Lipomantic chamber in both directions, using your aetheric shells not only to enhance your body, but your body to enhance your aetheric shells.
Whenever you use your Engorging Shell feature, affected targets take an additional amount of damage equal to your Constitution modifier. Additionally, each affected target must make a Constitution saving throw or suffer the Deprotect status until the end of your next turn.
Gunmetal Gut
At 20th level, your Aetheric density allows you incredible feats of bodily resilience. You are immune to damage caused by overeating, though you still can't willingly force yourself to eat more than your stuffing limit. Additionally, you are immune to the Poisoned and Stunned conditions, and any critical hit against you counts as a normal hit instead.
Machinist
Fat Armorer
Ever at the forefront of the innovative movement that places power in the hands of the common man, it would not be long before the Machinists would adapt to the development of Lipomancy by incorporating it into their art, creating suits of Aetherically powered armor that take advantage of the additional energy that lipomancy can provide, as well as supporting the inevitable girth of those who practice the art.
Aetheric Armor
Beginning at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium and heavy armor.
Additionally, over the course of a long rest, you can modify a suit of armor to become your Aetheric Armor, affixing it with various pieces of technology. While worn, your Aetheric Armor provides the following bonuses:
- If the armor normally has a Strength requirement, the aetheric armor lacks this requirement for you.
- The armor attaches to you and can’t be removed against your will. It also expands to cover your entire body, although you can retract or deploy the helmet as a bonus action. The armor replaces any missing limbs, functioning identically to a limb it replaces.
- You can doff or don the armor as an action.
- You may use your Intelligence instead of your Strength for calculating your Bulk Limit, Carrying capacity, and Push/drag/lift limits.
- You may use your Intelligence modifier instead of your Strength for Strength Ability checks, as well as to calculate your jump height and distance.
You can only have one suit of Aetheric Armor at a time. If you create a second suit, the first suit becomes inert, reverting to its previous state.
Armor Pattern
You can customize your Aetheric Armor. When you do so, choose one of the following armor models: Sweeper or Dominator. The model you choose gives you special benefits while you wear it.
Some models may include special weapons. When you attack with these weapons, you can add your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, to the attack and damage rolls.
You can change the armor’s model whenever you finish a short or long rest, provided you have you have your artisan's tools in hand.
Sweeper
You design your armor to clear the way for your allies, specializing in wide-area munitions.
Lipomantic Auto-Crossbow. As an Action, you spray a barrage of lipomantically-charged crossbow bolts across a 30-foot cone originating from you. Each creature of your choice within the area must make a Dexterity Saving throw or suffer piercing damage equal to 1d8 plus your Intelligence modifier. Affected targets also fatten for twice the damage they take.
You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier, regaining expended uses on a short or long rest.
The damage dealt increases by 1d8 at 6th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8)
Hypercharge. As a bonus action, you cause the Sweeper armor to overclock with Lipomantic energies, empowering your attacks and flooding your body with power. When you do so, and at the start of each of your turns while the effect is active, you fatten equal to twice your machinist level. While this feature is active, your weapon attacks explode with Lipomantic power, bursting out from your primary targets. Whenever you hit a creature with a weapon attack, each creature of your choice within 5 feet of them takes force damage equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). Both your primary target and any additional creatures affected fatten for twice the damage they were dealt by the attack.
This effect lasts for a minute, or until you use a bonus action to end the effects early. Once used, this feature can't be used again until you finish a long rest.
Dominator
You design your armor to be controlling master of the battlefield, outlasting and debilitating your enemies.
Lipomantic Cannon. A Lipomantically powered cannon is mounted on one of the shoulders of the armor, or on one of the arms (your choice). It counts as a simple ranged weapon, with a normal range of 90 feet and a long range of 300 feet, and it deals 1d6 lightning damage on a hit. Targets hit with the cannon fatten for twice the damage dealt. Once per turn, you can choose to inflict your choice of Debrave or Deprotect on a struck target until the end of your next turn.
The damage dealt increases by 1d6 at 6th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
Reassemble. As a bonus action, you can cause the Dominator suit to activate its auto-reassembly system, restoring damage dealt to itself and to you. You recover hit points and fatten for an amount equal to 1d10 + your Machinist level. Once used, this feature cannot be used again until you complete a short or long rest.
Anchor points
At 6th level, you have developed strong Anchor Points in the legs of your Aetheric Armor, allowing you to walk up and down walls and even upside down on ceilings without requiring an ability check while wearing it, though doing so counts as moving through difficult terrain for you. A minute of movement using this feature generates 1 exercise point for your metabolism.
Structural Integrity
Starting at 11th level, while wearing your Aetheric Armor, your Bulk limit, as well as your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, lift, or drag, are doubled.
Additionally, when you would take damage, you can use your reaction to trigger a lipomantic barrier. You immediately gain 10 temporary hit points per Machinist level, slimming for an equal amount. These hit points take as much of the triggering damage as possible and persist for a number of your turns equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) before disappearing at the end of the last of your turns of the duration.
Once used, this feature cannot be used again until you finish a long rest.
Armor Overdrive
At 17th level, gains additional benefits based on its pattern, as shown below.
Sweeper - Bioblaster
Whenever a creature is damaged by your Lipomantic Auto-Crossbow or an attack while your Hypercharge feature is active, they must make a Constitution saving throw as the energies of your suit attempts to unbalance their biology.
On a failure, the weight the target would have gained from the damage they took is doubled, and they suffer one of the following conditions until the end of your next turn: Bloated, Inflated, Overblown, Ravenous, Waterlogged, Debrave, Defaith, Deprotect, or Deshell.
Dominator - Pile Bunker
On one of your suit's arms you have attached a Pile Bunker weapon designed to punch through enemy armor with a Lipomantic explosive charge. It counts as a simple melee weapon and deals 4d10 Piercing and 4d10 Fire damage on a hit, fattening targets for twice the damage dealt. Targets struck by the weapon also suffer the Deprotect status until the end of your next turn.
After attacking with this weapon, it requires time to cool down, and cannot be used again on the same round or the round after.

Hissatsu: Uneri
Beginning at 3rd level, when a creature hits you with a weapon attack, you may spend one Sen as a reaction to gain resistance to the triggering attack's damage. You fatten for the remaining damage taken this way.
Gluttonous Swordsman
At 6th level, you have mastered glutting yourself to capacity before every battle. You gain expertise in the Eating skill, and your base stomach capacity is doubled.
Countermand
At 10th level, your defense opens the way for a crushing offense. When you use your Hissatsu: Uneri ability to reduce the damage of an attack from a creature within melee range, you may spend up to 2 additional Sen to make a number of Melee Weapon attacks against them equal to the extra Sen spent.
Fattened Sen
At 14th level, whenever you roll initiative with at least half of your stomach capacity filled, you gain 2 Sen charges. If you are full or overfull, you gain 3.

Limit Breaks
Iconic to Final Fantasy since their inception is the concept of the Limit Break, that building tension and energy that swells over the course of prolonged battles until it bursts forth when called upon to help turn the tide of a battle. The following system has been devised to help create a similar system for characters acting in this setting using the 5e ruleset.
Party like Adventurers
Over the course of battle, adventurers build up energy and tension as they approach the limits of their abilities. Once this tension has reached a certain point, the greatest of adventurers are capable of breaking through that ceiling temporarily to perform fantastic maneuvers referred to as Limit Breaks. Limit Breaks are refined through the focus provided by specializing in specific kinds of adventuring roles, and what they can do is determined by what role you play.
The rules for these optional features are as follows
Adventurer Role
Optional 1st Level Universal Feature
Starting at 1st level, whenever you finish a long rest you may determine your Role out of the following list:
- Defender
- Healer
- Magical Attacker
- Physical Attacker
Each Role helps to determine what your Limit Break feature does, as well as provides you an additional benefit. The additional benefits are as follows:
Defender
Prerequisite: A hit dice of d10 or higher
Taunt - As a bonus action, force an opponent that can see and hear you within 30ft to make a Charisma saving throw versus a DC of 8 + Constitution Modifier + Proficiency. On a failed save, they must direct all offensive actions they take towards you if able, including attacking, casting spells that deal damage, and using actions that might impede you or one of your allies. Actions they take that have an area of effect or multiple targets must include you, until the end of their next turn. Their legendary actions are unaffected.
If the taunted creature can't take an offensive action against you, such as if it is being grappled by another creature, the taunted creature's actions might be limited or be allowed to target other creatures, subject to the DM's discretion.
Healer
Prerequisite: The Spellcasting feature, and the ability to prepare Healing spells
Charged Healing - Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, the creature gains 1d4 temporary hit points that add to any temporary hit points they might already possess rather than override. The temporary hit points you grant using this feature increases by 1d4 for every 2 slot levels above 1st.
Magical Attacker
Prerequisite: The Spellcasting feature
Focused Spellcasting - Whenever you make a constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, you gain a bonus to that saving throw equal to 1d4 + your Proficiency bonus. This die changes as you gain levels, becoming 1d6 at 5th level, 1d8 at 11th level, and 1d10 at 17th level.
Physical Attacker
Prerequisite: None
True North - Once per turn, when you make an attack roll against a creature, if one of your allies is within 5 feet of your target and isn't incapacitated, you can roll a d4 and add it to the total. This die changes as you gain levels, increasing to 1d6 at 5th level, 1d8 at 11th level, and 1d10 at 17th level.
Limit Break
Optional 1st Level Universal Feature
Starting at 1st level, you gain a Limit Break Gauge. This Gauge starts with 0 charges and goes to a maximum of 3 charges.
At the end of each of your turns in combat, you gain 1 charge. When you perform a Limit Break, you expend all of your Limit Charges and choose one of the options available to you. You can only choose an option if you spent that Limit Break's required number of charges or more.
You can only perform a Limit Break once per combat, no matter how many charges you gain after performing one. Combat against insignificant enemies does not generate limit charges. An insignificant enemy is one whose Challenge Rating and Number of Allies, is less than or equal to 1/4th your level and party size.
Your Limit Break Gauge's maximum number of charges increases as you gain character levels. This maximum increases to 6 at level 6, 9 at level 11, and 10 at level 16.
Whenever you complete a short or long rest, your Limit Break Gauge resets to 0 charges.
Limit Break Options
Limit Breaks that are available to you are determined by your adventurer role, character level, and class level.
Defender
Limit Level 1 (3 Charges)
-
Shield Wall. As an Action, up to 3 targets of your choice within line of sight gain resistance to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage until the end of your next turn.
-
Seal Evil. Whenever a hostile creature within 30 feet of you attempts to cast a spell, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Constitution Saving Throw (DC 8 + your Proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failed save, the spell they were trying to cast fails and has no effect, and they can't cast spells until the end of your next turn.
Limit Level 2 (6 Charges)
-
Mighty Guard. As an Action, you grant supreme protection to yourself and any allies of your choice within line of sight. Until the end of your next turn, all attacks against the affected characters are made with disadvantage and the affected characters have advantage on all Saving Throws.
-
Lunatic High. As a Bonus Action, you and all allies within 10 feet of you gain the effects of the Haste spell until the end of your next turn. When this effect ends, affected creatures do not suffer the usual lethargy that normally occurs when Haste ends, and can continue to act as normal.

In addition, any such conditions that were in effect end with the exception of any levels of Exhaustion which come back after the immunity ends.

When this effect ends, they fall unconscious if they still have 0 hit points.

Lion Heart. As an Action, you reduce your speed to 0 and become immune to all damage until your next turn. In addition, all enemies you can see within 60 feet of you are forced to spend their next turn moving towards you and using their actions to attack you with whatever means they have.

Each creature in that line must make a Dexterity Saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failure, they are knocked prone and take bludgeoning damage equal to 6d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. On a successful save, they take half as much damage and are not knocked prone. The ground in that area becomes difficult terrain until the end of your next turn.
Limit Level 3 (9 Charges)
-
Stardust Ray. A ray of Astral Energy bursts from you as an action towards a single target within 120 feet. That creature must make a Dexterity saving throw.

-
All Creation. As an action, each creature of your choice within 120 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw, taking necrotic damage equal to 8d8 + your character level on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

If you have multiple classes, you can only access the Ultimate Limit of one of them at a time. If you are multiclassing, then when you choose your Limit Role at the end of each of your long rests, you also choose which Class's Limit Breaks you will have access to as well. You can change this choice at the end of each long rest just like your Limit Role.

-

Regardless which option you choose, your transformed ally continues to behave as if it were a normal Aetherial Ally, and returns to its normal form at the end of the combat in which you use this ability. You can find the stat blocks for these forms at the end of this document.

On a failed save, they lose all of their spell slots, or uses of their innate spells, and take force damage equal to your character level plus 1d10 for each spell slot or innate spell lost this way. In addition, a creature who fails the Intelligence saving throw can't cast cantrips or at-will spells until the end of their next turn.

On a failed save, their disrupted aether detonates out from them and blasts another creature of your choice within 15 feet of the first target: you repeat this process against the second creature. This process continues to repeat until a creature succeeds on the saving throw or there are no additional targets available. A creature can only be targeted once each time this Limit Break is performed
Paladin Ultimate
Last Bastion. You summon the souls of fallen Paladins to defend your allies. As an action, each ally of your choice that you can see gains a Spiritual Guardian. These guardians have the same hit point total as you, and occupy the same space as your allies.

If they aren't destroyed, the spiritual guardians vanish at the end of the combat they were summoned in.
