Rules

Unless otherwise stated, Avatar: The Last RPG follows Dungeons and Dragons 5e rules.

Character Creation

The first and most important rule is that because the world of Avatar is based on real world Asian cultures, all characters created must be Asian as well. This guide will go into more detail about what real life cultures influenced the different cultures of Avatar the Last Airbender and therefore what your own characters will be influenced by.

Other than that, the world is your oyster! Read on to Parts II and III for more information on the worlds, different bending disciplines, and different locations in the Avatar world to help you decide where your character hails from. But don't feel like you need to be limited to just the locations listed below. Use your imagination to create the small town your character is from, or the neighborhood of the city they grew up in. Are they an Air nomad, traveling where the wind takes them or working in a temple? A waterbender from the foggy swamp, far from home living in Ba Sing Se? A citizen of a small earth kingdom town, looking to put down roots in volcanic fire nation soil? Or maybe a former fire national, living in the new United Republic, changing with the changing world.

Is your character a bender? Benders require training from an early age in order to control their element safely and properly, and to build it up to a fighting form. Or do they just use bending practically? Perhaps an earth bender who works as a sculptor, or a water bender who worked as a laundress? Maybe even a fire bending welder or an earth bending jewler.

Waterbenders can heal the body, but did you know that some skilled firebenders can heal both the body and the mind? The electrical signals in our brain can be controlled by carefully trained firebenders. Careful earthbenders can mend and grow bones by bending the minerals that build our skeletal system. Air bending may not have any known healing use, but the air nomads have been known to make excellent healers of the soul. If its peace of mind you seek, perhaps a visit with an airbender is what you need.

Don't forget that there is far more to life than bending. Chi blockers are specially trained in acrobatics and human anatomy to be able to paralyze opponents with hard jabs to strategic places. Not to mention a variety of weaponry available to be trained in. Fire Lady Mai herself was a skilled knife thrower, able to puncture steel with her throws. The Yuyan archers can pin a fly to a wall by its wings from 100 yards.

People are more than their skills. Non-benders from the Earth Kingdom are still strong and sturdy. Water tribesmen are all strongly tied to family and community that holds together through hardship, regardless of bending or fighting ability.

Info

Currency: None. Air Nomads traditionally traded with other peoples, and did not develop their own currency.
Language: Most closely resembles Tibetan, but the most common dialects are taught as well
Government: Theocracy
Spirits: Chu Turak (S), Baihu (W), Xuanwu (N), Seiryu (E) Economy: Small. Air Nomads traditionally trade handcrafted goods made from woods and bison fur, as well as vibrant dyes and foods that are unique to the climates of their temples.

Eastern Air Temple

The Eastern Air Temple is located in a mountain range in the southeastern Earth Kingdom and was one of the two temples that exclusively housed female Air Nomads, the other being the Western Air Temple. Unlike the Northern and Southern Air Temples, the Eastern Air Temple is housed on three separate mountains, connected by bridges. Not much is known about its physical appearance, it has three pagodas, one on each mountain, with green tiled roofs. The center mountain pagoda has a couple smaller buildings next to it.
The patron saint of the Eastern Temple is Seiryu, the Azure dragon of the East. Nuns from the Eastern Temple are strong, clever, and flexible. Like life they make openings of the tiniest cracks in rock to grow. They deal well with adversity both in life and on the battlefield.

Northern Air Temple

Located in the mountains along the northern coast of the Earth Kingdom continent,this was the other temple which exclusively housed male airbenders.The Northern Air Temple was built thousands of years before the Hundred Year War by Air Nomad monks, who used it mainly as a training ground for young airbenders. The temple was noted for its design, which harmoniously integrated its natural surroundings into the structure; the large hallways would harness the wind and allow air to flow naturally through the building. The original inhabitants of the temple were Air Nomads, who once hosted the sky bison polo championships at this temple prior to the genocide.
The temple was later inhabited by a group of Earth Kingdom refugees led by the mechanist, who settled there after their own village was destroyed by a flood. The temple was modified from its original state to accommodate the lifestyle of the new residents. As the mechanist added new inventions, the temple underwent many technological upgrades, which often required the destruction or expansion of many original structures.
The patron Spirit of the Northern Temple is Xuanwu, the black lion-turtle of the north. Monks of the Northern Temple are patient, waiting for openings both in life and in battle. While they hold life sacred like all air nomads, they understand that death is a natural and necessary thing, and that all death eventually leads to life.

Southern Air Temple

This is the first Air Temple seen in the Avatar series and the home of Avatar Aang. It is located in the Patola Mountain Range and was originally one of the two temples to house only male airbenders, the other being the Northern Air Temple. The massive temple featured a sanctuary in which statues of past Avatars were arranged.
The patron spirit of the Southern Temple is Chu Turak the vermillion bird of the south. Monks that call the Southern Temple home tend to be energetic and enthusiastic in all they do, living in the moment, rather than the future. They have little patience for waiting for openings and instead actively seek out opportunity both in battle and in life.

Western Air Temple

The Western Air Temple is located in the mountains north of the Fire Nation and was one of the two temples that exclusively housed female Air Nomads. Like the Eastern Air Temple, it boasts statues of Yangchen as it was her birthplace.
The temple is notable in that, unlike the other three temples, it is situated underneath the edge of a cliff instead of atop a mountain. The spires seem as though they were built upside-down, and because of that, the temple is hidden from passersby.

Its design allows wind to flow into even the deepest chambers, which made the Air Nomads feel at home. There are steps built into the side of the cliff to allow for movement between tiers of the temple and different buildings.
The patron saint of the Western Temple is Baihu, the white bison of the west. Nuns of the Western Temple are like the tempest: a force of nature and quick to change direction.

Info

Currency: EK copper, silver, and gold pieces
Language: Northern EK and Coastal EK. There are two written forms of both langages, a seal script and a clerical script. Most people use clerical.
Government: Confederate Constitutional Monarchy
Spirits: Ghati, Jamina, Parvata
Economy: Large, agriculture based. Earth kingdom cities and towns are traditionally self sustaining, thanks to their large agriculture industry. They are the largest producer of food in the world, and export large amounts of food. As most large earth kingdom cities run on earthbending, industry does not have much development, but is rather imported.

Head of State: Earth King Kuei
Capital: Ba Sing Se

Ba Sing Se

Ba Sing Se is the capital of the Earth Kingdom as well as one of its constituent states. It is the largest city in the world, encompassing a large portion of the nation's northeastern corner, essentially being more of a small country than a mere city. As a testament to its grandeur, the Earth Kingdom's roadway network is centered on the city. Ba Sing Se means "Impenetrable City"; it is so named for its world-famous walls, the gates of which have no hinges or other hardware and are opened by the use of earthbending. Within the Outer Wall lies a large expanse of farmland, Lake Laogai, and several mountains. The Inner Wall encloses the city itself. The metropolis is also notable for having a unique system of walls dividing the populace into different parts of the city based on social status.

Ba Sing Se is arguably one of the oldest settlements in the world, with maps dating back over 5,000 years. Early in its history, Ba Sing Se was a small subterranean city carved out of rocks by earthbenders. Eventually, as the metropolis' expansion reached the surface, the catacombs were abandoned. Afterward, Ba Sing Se grew increasingly powerful, and its kings began to wage wars of expansion against other neighboring states. At the time, the city greatly profited from its strategically favorable location, as it was protected to the south by the treacherous Taihua Mountains. When Ba Sing Se was still young, several armies of rival polities attempted to march through this mountain range, only to be destroyed by its horrible blizzards. The city continued to grow and eventually became the capital of the unified Earth Kingdom.

After becoming the center of the Earth Kingdom, the city remained firmly under the control of the earth monarchs, in sharp contrast to the rest of the country which was often just nominally ruled by the central government. In addition, Ba Sing Se was less affected by the sophisticated outlaw societies called the daofei that plagued most of the Earth Kingdom. Instead, crime groups in the capital mostly remained mere street gangs.

Omashu

Omashu is the second largest city in the Earth Kingdom and the capital of one of its states. Surpassed in size and importance only by Ba Sing Se, the gates of this bustling metropolis are guarded by an army of earthbenders. This city is also well known for its famous delivery system powered by a combination of both earthbending and gravity.

The tall mountain peak on which Omashu was founded is located in the Kolau Mountains in the southwestern Earth Kingdom. It rises high out of a deep chasm and was created by earthbenders several centuries prior to King Bumi's reign. Being built on this mountain provides the city with one of its best defenses; the only way to reach the gates of Omashu is across a long narrow bridge of stone that spans the sheer gorge.

The city of Omashu sits within the Kolau Mountain Range, surrounded on all sides by steep canyons and an enormous gorge. The city's three gates are composed of massive blocks of stone, each five feet thick and over thirty feet tall. As a result, the gates can only be opened by skilled earthbenders who guard its only entrance. The city itself is built on a number of hills. The palace sits on the tallest hill, which is centered behind some other hills. The city has thousands of houses for ordinary citizens and nobles as well as hundreds of shops, restaurants and pottery workshops. Most types of businesses in Ba Sing Se would be present in Omashu as well. The city also has a complex mail system, in which packages are transported using earthbending and gravity. Buildings in Omashu are generally built from stone, unlike most buildings in the Earth Kingdom, and have green tiled roofs.

Gaoling

Gaoling is a large town located within a mountain range in the State of Gaoling, southern Earth Kingdom. An old and well-established town, Gaoling has a broad spectrum of citizens. It is also the location of the Earth Rumble tournaments.

Gaoling lies in a valley surrounded by steep, rocky hillsides, and is located near the Foggy Swamp. Most of Gaoling's residents are middle-class people whose families have lived in the town for many generations. The center of the village features a bustling marketplace with ornately decorated buildings. The area serves as the village's center of commerce, and as such, it is filled with merchants, barkers, and shoppers. On the outskirts of the settlement are large, expansive estates where the wealthiest families, such as the Beifongs, live.

Kyoshi Island

Kyoshi island is a mix of earth kingdom and southern water tribe culture. While they fall under the Earth King, they are self-governing, and deal primarily with the Southern Water Tribe. They import fats, furs, and blue dyes from the SWT and export cloth, lumber, and grains.

Kyoshi Island is located off the southern coast of the Earth Kingdom and dotted with many small villages. Predominantly a fishing port, this small island in the South Sea is a popular destination among traders and travelers.

It is well known as the adopted home of Avatar Kyoshi and the residence of the elite Kyoshi Warriors, an all-female fighting outfit. As a result, every village on the island hosts a statue of its revered Avatar, and one of the villages has converted a temple into a shrine dedicated to her. The island is characterized by its relative seclusion and temperate climate.

Since its establishment, Kyoshi Island is led by a governor. It hosts minimal connection to the Earth Kingdom imperial government. Every village of Kyoshi Island has a local civil leader and a band of female warriors to provide protection.

Kyoshi Day is the most important holiday on the island. This celebration commemorates the day Avatar Kyoshi created the island in defense against Chin the Conqueror. A famous mural of Kyoshi at sunset was painted on the first Kyoshi Day and now resides in a shrine to the Avatar on the island.

Si Wong Dessert

The Si Wong Desert is an arid region located in the central Earth Kingdom. It is the largest, driest, and hottest desert on Earth, and due to its extreme climate, the region is almost impossible to successfully cross. The desert is sparsely populated by Si Wong tribes and beetle-headed merchants.

Otherwise known as the "Desert of the Dead", the Si Wong Desert is the driest, hottest environment in the world, consisting of miles of barren sand. It housed the largest library in the world before the structure was returned to its original home in the Spirit World.

Only a select few are mentally and physically capable of surviving in this desert for an extended period of time, let alone navigating through it. However, certain desert-dwelling peoples, such as the sandbenders and the beetle-headed merchants, have successfully adapted to the environment. Nevertheless, even they can find themselves victims to common habitual afflictions such as starvation, dehydration, and skin cancer.

The desert's ecosystem primarily consists of hallucinogenic cacti, a few scavenger species such as the gilacorn, and the predatory buzzard wasps. It is also home to a large sand shark, which is known to attack people and their ships.

Government: Absolute Monarchy
Spirits: Agni, the sun spirit
Economy: Large. The Fire Nation is the world leader in industrialization and the production of metals. They export industry across the world, and import a significant amount of food from the Earth Kingdom and the United Republic of Nations.

Head of State: Firelord Zuko
Capital: Caldera City

Caldera City

Also known as Capital City, Royal Caldera City is the seat of the government for the Fire Nation. It is home to the Fire Lord, the Fire Nation Royal Family, and Fire Nation nobility. The city is located on Capital Island, a large island in the western region of the Fire Nation.

The Fire Nation Capital is one of the largest settlements in the world. It has a distinct layout consisting of the Royal Plaza, a forum located directly past the First Lord’s Harbor; an industrial district surrounded by numerous establishments and homes; and Royal Caldera City, a residential district situated within the crater of a dormant volcano hosting the Fire Nation Royal Palace and various homes of Fire Nation elite.

Shuhon Island

Shuhon Island is the second largest island in the Fire Nation, east of Capital Island. When the noble clans held power in the Fire Nation, the island fell under the traditional influence of the Keohso clan. Fire Fountain City is a prominent settlement on the island, known for its enormous firelord statue in the center of the town. These statues are ever-burning, an invention of Zhang Sato (a native of Fire Fountain City) in 146BG, and only cease to burn when the crown passes heads. In 101AG, the cold statue of Ozai was replaced with one of Firelord Zuko, which still burns to this day.

Eastern Islands

The south-eastern islands, mostly protected from storms, are among the Worlds most beautiful tropical paradises. Once home to waterbenders who have long since fled the volcanoes to move to the icy North, the islands were carefully terraformed to assist agriculture, and still produce most of the Nations native agriculture.

Western Coast

The Western Coast, unprotected like the rest of the archipeligo, falls under barrage by storms every late summer to fall. It is still heavily populated, and the storms bring in large amounts of sea food to the coastal regions, which are farmed during the temperate winters. Though the practice was made illegal by Firelord Sozin, and remained so until Firelord Zuko, many have managed to cling to the tradition of praying to the spirit of the western wind to protect them from the storms, and on the last day of spring, there is a festival in their honor- the last before preperations begin.

Ember Island

Ember Island is a renowned resort area located in the outer islands of the northern Fire Nation. Set among palm trees and luscious vegetation, it is home to many luxurious resorts and vacation homes for the wealthy and powerful. Many high-ranking Fire Nation officials have vacation homes here and the island is viewed as the top vacation destination in the Fire Nation. The private beaches are surrounded by mountains and dunes which create a private atmosphere for visitors. The beaches are among the most popular in the country and host many popular kuai ball games.

Northern Water Tribe

Head of State: Chief Arnook
Capital: Agna Qel'a

The Northern Water Tribe is an independent state located within the realms of the North Pole, ruled by a hereditary monarchic chiefdom. As the oldest division of the three Water Tribes, the Northern Water Tribe dominated both the North Pole as well as the South Pole for centuries. Its capital city, Agna Qel'a, is notable for being made almost entirely out of ice. Even though much of its territory encompasses largely inhospitable tundra terrain, the Northern Water Tribe always thrived in its isolation, and grew into a major political and economical power after the Hundred Year War.
The people of the Northern Water Tribe are traditionally conservative and very spiritual, but still open to change and reform. The Northern waterbending style is the most widespread form, practiced by waterbenders at both poles and in the United Republic of Nations, as raids on the Southern Water Tribe led to the southern style becoming nearly extinct during the Hundred Year War.

Long before the Hundred Year War, the predecessors of the Water Tribe relocated to the North Pole from the tropical regions they originally inhabited. There, they formed several independent tribes. Eventually, a group of waterbenders united to build Agna Qel'a in an attempt to bring all the tribes of the North Pole together. The waterbenders used their icy environment to create the various temples, villages, and canals that comprise the city. After a time of civil unrest, this newfound unity declined, and a group of secessionists journeyed to the South Pole to engender a new tribe.

Despite these initial difficulties, the relations between the Northern Water Tribe and the secessionist Southern Water Tribe improved over time. The South reaccepted the authority of the Northern chiefs as long as it was granted autonomy and a Council of Elders to govern itself. To strengthen the tribal ties and political harmony, the Northern ruling family began to take Southerners as their spouses.

Additionally, the New Moon Celebration was established in order to reunite the two Water Tribes. Over time, the Northern Water Tribe grew prosperous and powerful enough to defend its wealth from outsiders thanks to a strong navy.

After the Hundred Year War, the Northern Water Tribe underwent social and economic reforms. Women were no longer restricted by law, and the tribe grew increasingly powerful. Agna Qel'a began to significantly expand to become a large metropolis.

Even though their cultures were still similar—as they maintained common customs and celebrations until 40 AG—the people of the North and South developed completely differently in regard of society and politics. The Southern Water Tribe was far less hierarchical than the North, enjoying a high degree of gender equality. The Southern tribesmen eventually built a massive inland city as their political and cultural center and the tribe began to prosper. Some tensions remained between the sister tribes, as some Northerners regarded the Southerners as barbarians, whereas some among the latter believed the North to be an oppressive society. During these years, a tradition of celebrating the Glacier Spirits Festival began, during which the people would fast and meditate, and the tribal elders would commune with the spirits as they danced in the sky to create the southern lights; it ended on the day of the winter solstice.

Southern Water Tribe

Head of State: Chief Hakoda and the Council of Elders
Capital: Capital City

The Southern Water Tribe is an independent state located at the South Pole and is the southern division of the Water Tribes. A federation of several smaller tribes, the South is ruled by a Council of Elders, who also elect the tribe's chief. The Southern Water Tribe has had an eventful history and saw times of prosperity and freedom as well as decline and genocide. Before the Hundred Year War, the South was thriving and had a unique culture and waterbending style.

After a series of brutal Fire Nation raids, however, the South Pole was left devastated and nearly all the surviving waterbenders had been taken prisoner. By 99 AG, the Southern Water Tribe was on the brink of extinction, with its culture shattered, its main city largely abandoned, and its unique waterbending style effectively erased. After the Siege of the North, the Northern Water Tribe administrated a relief effort led by Master Pakku, who brought along a number of warriors, waterbenders, and healers to aid in the Southern tribe's redevelopment. This mission proved to be successful, resulting in political rapprochement between the two tribes.

Following the Hundred Year War and the re-involvement of both Water Tribes in international affairs, the South became a major economic power: Both its population and infrastructure swelled, with people mostly living in its coastal capital and several villages nearby. The people of the Southern Water Tribe are modern, progressive, and focused on commerce and trade, but in contemporary times lack the spirituality that had long defined their culture.

Foggy Swamp Tribe

The Foggy Swamp Tribe is a waterbending settlement situated in a wetland known as the Foggy Swamp, located in the southwestern part of the Earth Kingdom, and is one of the three Water Tribes in the Avatar World. The tribesmen are descendants of individuals who migrated from the South Pole to the Foggy Swamp in the Earth Kingdom, where they established a separate faction that eventually developed a distinct culture and bending style separate from those of the two polar tribes.

It remained relatively isolated to the polar Water Tribes and the rest of the world until the tribe's involvement in the invasion of the Fire Nation in 100 AG. Despite the Foggy Swamp Tribe's complete independence from both of its sister tribes, it is not formally recognized as a separate political entity and thus did not have a representative in the United Republic Council at any point in time.

Although technologically unsophisticated, the tribe consists of powerful waterbenders who have developed a specialized bending style adapted for swamp use. Specifically, the form employed by swampbenders differs significantly from conventional waterbending, as it primarily involves rigid bending motions and the manipulation of plant life. The tribe members indulge mostly on small game and giant insects but refrain from consuming catgators, which they domesticate and keep as pets.

The members of the Foggy Swamp Tribe are accustomed to their surroundings and have a deep appreciation of the workings of the natural world. They follow the belief that all living organisms are interconnected and reliant on each other, based on their understanding of the sacred banyan-grove tree, from where some of the tribe members have reached enlightenment.

Economy: Medium.

Head of State: United Republic Council
Capital: Republic City

The United Republic of Nations, more commonly known as the United Republic, is a sovereign state created by Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko after the end of the Hundred Year War. It was formed from the oldest Fire Nation colonies established in the western Earth Kingdom and was created to serve as a society where benders and nonbenders from all four nations could live and thrive together in peace and harmony. The United Republic is known for having a unique culture, which was shaped by immigration and a technological revolution.

The capital of the United Republic is Republic City, a large, modern metropolis located on the shores of Yue Bay. From there, a political organization consisting of one representative from each nation, the United Republic Council, governed the republic.

In the aftermath of the Hundred Year War Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko came to an agreement with Earth King Kuei on the establishment of the Harmony Restoration Movement, which aimed to return Fire Nation colonies to the control of the Earth Kingdom. One of the consequences of this action was the removal of Fire Nation citizens from the settlements that they had created over the past century. This forced departure had considerably negative demographic consequences unforeseen by the parties in the agreement, such as compromising biracial denizens with both Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom heritage, and destroying the prosperity the colonies were experiencing due to the efforts of citizens from both nationalities. A year into the operation of the movement, Firelord Zuko withdrew his support.

Avatar Aang and Firelord Zuko initially resolved the impasse by instating a coalition government, where the colonies would be governed by both Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom citizens. The system first came into place in Yu Dao, the first Fire Nation colony, though the other colonies soon followed.

Eventually, the Avatar and the Fire Lord transformed the colonies, along with Cranefish Town, into a fifth nation where people from the four nations would be able to live in harmony. The new republic was governed by a council of five citizens representing each of the original four nations, with two representing the polar Water Tribes. They named this new polity the United Republic of Nations, and made Cranefish Town its capital, renaming the settlement Republic City. Earth King Kuei agreed to cede large portions of Earth Kingdom land to form the republic.

Republic City

While the colonies underwent a peaceful democratic transition, the industrial revolution spread in the western Earth Kingdom. Taking advantage of new technologies and the availability of bending and nonbending workers from all nations, new businesses and factories were founded. One site in particular grew rapidly. Located at the Mo Ce Sea's coast, near Yu Dao, it originally hosted just one factory, the Earthen Fire Refinery, but quickly expanded into a large agglomeration known as Cranefish Town. People from all around the world migrated there in hopes of getting jobs. Cranefish Town was made the new capital of the United Republic of Nations, and renamed Republic City.

Water benders most closely resemble druids and warlocs.

The Airbender

Airbending is one of the four elemental bending arts, is the aerokinetic ability to control and manipulate air. The peaceful Air Nomads utilized this type of bending in their everyday lives.

Air is the element of freedom. The Air Nomads detached themselves from worldly problems and concerns; finding peace and freedom was the key to solving their difficulties in life. Airbenders continually sought spiritual enlightenment, and, as a result, all children born into the Air Nomads were benders. The first airbenders learned their art from the flying bison.

The key to airbending is flexibility and finding and following the path of least resistance. Airbending is notable for being almost purely defensive, as well as the most dynamic of the four bending arts. Airbenders can overwhelm many opponents at once with large and powerful attacks that could prove fatal; however, due to the pacifist nature of the Air Nomads, such attacks are rarely used. Instead, an airbender strives to use the opponents' energy against them. Due to their aforementioned spirituality, they often adapt to the situation surrounding them and employ negative jing, preferring evasive maneuvers as opposed to direct confrontation.

In contrast with other bending disciplines, airbending necessitates constant spiritual awareness, and an airbender who loses this connection can see their skills deteriorate.

Opposing bending art

In keeping with Air Nomad teachings on pacifism, airbending is the most passive of the four arts, as many of its techniques emphasize constant mobility, deflection, and eluding the opponent. Earthbending is considered the direct opposite, whereas airbenders avoid or deflect oncoming attacks, earthbenders absorb or overwhelm them with superior force. Airbenders are constantly moving in circles, while earthbenders require to be firmly rooted in one place to effectively bend. Firebending, however, is considered the spiritual opposite of airbending, as it places aggressiveness and passion against passivity and peacefulness.

Like all of the bending arts, airbending is no more or less powerful than the other arts, though it is easily the most dynamic and agile of the four. It is the skill and power of the user that determines victory.

Class Features

As an Airbender, you gain the following Class Features:

Bending ability

Wisdom is your bending ability for your Airbender moves, so you use your wisdom whenever a move refers to your bending ability. In addition, you use your wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an Airbender move you use and when making an attack roll with one.

• Bending Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
• Bending Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom Modifier

Temple Styles

In your study at one of the four air temples you have developed a style unique to that temple. At 1st level, you gain a temple style, detailed at the end of the class description.

Disciplines

In your study with the monks, you have learned many special modifications to your normal airbending. At 2nd level, you gain two Disciplines of your choice, those disciplines are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain Airbender levels, you gain additional disciplines of your choice as shown in the disciplines column of the class table. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose a discipline you know and replace it with another discipline that you could learn at that level.

Bōjutsu

You have trained extensively with polearms as an extension of your body, using momentum and leverage to your advantage. For the purposes of calculating your attack and damage, you can use your dexterity modifier instead of strength. This does NOT add the finesse property to the weapon. When a heavy weapon is used with this feature, it loses the “Reach” property if it has one.

Spirit of the wind

Starting at 11th level, you gain a fly speed equal to your walking speed, this gust only works in short bursts however, and you begin to fall if you end your turn in the air and nothing else is holding you aloft.

Chi Mastery

At 20th level you can draw on your inner reserve of Chi to regain expended Chi points. You can spend 1 minute meditating to regain all your expended Chi points. Once you use this feature, you are unable to use it again until you take a long rest.

Temple Styles

Creative Cloudmaking

Starting at 6th level, you can create a small cloud around you to obscure your movement and escape danger. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to become (heavily obscured/hidden) by the cloud and move with the wind up to 60 feet in any direction. This movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks. You remain (heavily obscured/hidden) until the start of your next turn or until you attack or bend. You can’t use this feature again until you complete a short or long rest.

Way of the Water

At 10th level you learn to use your opponents momentum agianst them, similar to the way of waterbenders. When an opponent attempts to attack you at melee range and misses, you may make an opportunity attack as a reaction.

fourteenth

You learn to avoid conflicts almost entirely. You learn the dodge reaction, allowing you to quickly move around your opponent, and providing you opportunity attacks. When performing the dodge reaction, roll acrobatics, dexterity, or athletics depending on the move (your DM will decide this) and aim to beat your opponents attack roll. Opportunity attacks such as these take place outside of initiative order.

Eastern Temple

Nuns of the Eastern temple call their patron Seiryu, he azure dragon of the east and the bringer of both spring and the new year. Nuns from the Eastern Temple are strong, clever, and flexible. Like life itself they make openings of the tiniest cracks in rock to grow. They deal well with adversity both in life and on the battlefield.

Western Temple

The patron of the nuns of the western temple is Baihu, the white bison of the west and the spirit of fall. She is also the herald of the storm season in the western hemisphere, which takes place every autumn, baraging the Fire Nation coast year after year, and often triggering tsunamis to hit the Earth Kingdoms eastern coast. She is not always gentle. She is three aspects; one of gentle allowance, another of fierce refusal, and the last of an empty void.

Bending known at 1st level or Higher

At 1st level you know the basics of Earthbending and are only able to shape the earth as described above.

At later levels, as you train and become more adept at shaping the earth around you, you learn more Earthbending techniques. These techniques are listed at the end of this class section. You know and can use any technique listed on the table for your level or lower.

Bending ability

Constitution is your bending ability for your Bending moves, so you use your Constitution whenever a move refers to your bending ability. In addition, you use your Constitution modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Bending move you use and when making an attack roll with one.

• Bending Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier
• Bending Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Constitution Modifier

Costs of Earthbending

Earthbending is a physically taxing art at higher levels and requires strength and endurance of its practitioners.

Each use of an Earthbending technique listed below lowers your constitution score by a number described by the technique. This is indicative of the massive effort required to manipulate the stone or earth, and its effect on your endurance. Each time your score is lowered to an odd number from an even number, your constitution modifier decreases by 1. Because of the Constitution modifier decrease, you also reduce your maximum health by your Earthbender level as well as recalculate your Bending Save DC and Bending Attack Modifier.

Your constitution score returns to its normal value at the end of a long rest as long as you aren’t under any other effects that would alter it. This also means that your max health, and constitution modifier return to their normal values as well.

Earthbender Calling

At level 2, you respond to either the Call of Badgermole, or the Call of Stone. These callings determine the path you wish to take your bending. The Call of Badgermole seeks to stand firm and protect its allies, while the Call of Stone looks to crush enemies beneath the weight of the earth.

As an action, you can have the hand crush a creature it has restrained. That creature must make a Strength saving throw. It takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half on a successful one.

To break out, the restrained target can make a Strength check against your bending save DC. On a success, the target escapes and is no longer restrained by the hand.

As an action, you can have the hand reach for a different creature within 5 feet of it or to move to a different unoccupied space within range. The hand releases a restrained target if you do either.

• Duration: 8 hours
• Cost: 1 Constitution

You step into a stone object or surface large enough to fully contain your body, melding yourself and all the equipment you carry with the stone for the duration. Nothing of your presence remains detectable by non-bending senses.

While merged with the stone, you can’t see what occurs outside it, and any Perception checks you make to hear outside it have disadvantage. You can use bending techniques on yourself while merged in the stone. You can use your movement to leave the stone where you entered it, which ends the technique. You otherwise can’t move.

Minor damage to the stone doesn’t harm you, but its partial destruction (to the extent that you no longer fit within it) expels you and deals 6d6 bludgeoning damage to you. The stone’s complete destruction (or transmutation into a different substance) expels you and deals 50 bludgeoning damage to you. If expelled, you fall prone in an unoccupied space closest to where you first entered.

The Firebender

Firebending, one of the four elemental bending arts, is the pyrokinetic ability to control fire. It is unique among the bending arts, as it is the only one in which the performer can generate the element. As described by Iroh, fire is the element of power, consisting of overpowering force tempered by the unflinching will to accomplish tasks and desires.

Firebenders draw their power from the sun and other solar objects, such as comets, as well as the fiery core of the planet. A solar eclipse has the potential to completely negate a firebender's power, which is the result of a direct connection between the sun and firebending.

Opposed Bending Art

Firebending is the opposing art to waterbending, though they share facets of self-control, diversity, and variation in strength due to external forces and strong emotions. Firebenders use quick strong punches and kicks to shoot fire, while waterbenders use smooth movements and elegant turns and spins to return the momentum of the opponents' attacks. Firebenders attack first, while waterbenders wait and turn their target's attacks against them.

The two bending arts are also opposed by their celestial power source; firebending is fueled by the sun, while waterbending is powered by the moon.

Armored Mobility

Beginning at 1st level, when you wear medium armor, you can add your full dexterity modifier to your AC.

Bending

Your training with the Firebending masters has connected you to the spark of life around you.

Fiery Blood

At 14th level, you have learned to raise your internal temperature high enough that you can burn away any foreign disease or poison. You are now immune to disease and poison.

Master

At the 15th level, you have earned the title of Master. You can now choose to learn moves paths not your own, provided you start with level 1 bending moves.

Bending Path

Beginning at level three, you choose one of the following bending traditions: Mountain, Coastal, or New Imperial.

Arced Lightning

At level 17 you've learned an art perfected by the imperial family. As an action you create a bolt of lightning that arcs toward a target of your choice that you can see within range. Three bolts then leap from that target to as many as three other targets, each of which must be within 30 feet of the first target. A target can be a creature or an object and can be targeted by only one of the bolts.

A target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The target takes 10d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Once you use this ability, you can not use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Aspect of the Comet

At 20th level you become a living embodiment of the destructive power of Sozin’s Comet.

You gain immunity to fire damage, a fly speed of 80 ft, and any time you use Chi to Firebend, you can choose one creature within 30 feet of you to take 1d10 + your charisma modifier fire damage.

Your flames also begin to change color. They are a brilliant, terrifying, cerulean blue.

Firebending Moves

Beginning at level 3 when you select a Path to follow, you start to learn how to empower your Firebending with Chi. The different ways you shape your Chi are called bending moves.

All Firebenders draw power from the sun, but there are two seperate paths to enlightenment for Firebenders. The Path of the Dragon uses it’s Chi to bolster allies internal resolve and heal their wounds. While the Path of the Comet uses its sheer power to incinerate its foes. The path you follow determines how you can shape your Chi, and each path has access to a different set of bending moves depending on where they draw their inspiration for Firebending from.

Listed below are the bending moves that each Firebending path learns.

The Waterbender

Waterbending, one of the four elemental bending arts, is the hydrokinetic ability to control water in all of its various forms. Water is the element of change. The fighting style of waterbending is mostly fluid and graceful, acting in concert with the environment. Foggy Swamp style waterbending, however, is more rigid and straight. Waterbenders deal with the flow of energy; they let their defense become their offense, turning their opponents' own forces against them. Even when waterbenders do take an attack stance, their moves always appear to flow from one to the other.

Origins and Culture

During the era of Raava, the power of water was first granted by the water lion turtle, who would temporarily provide it as protection to those venturing into the Spirit Wilds. The descendants of the people living atop the water lion turtle eventually learned to waterbend by observing how the moon pushed and pulled the tides of the ocean; they learned how to simulate the effect themselves. As such, they have a strong spiritual connection to the Moon and its counterpart, the Ocean. In fact, waterbending is the only bending art to originate from spirits instead of animals, though the Moon and Ocean Spirits took the form of koi fish in the mortal world near the beginning of the Avatar World. Additionally, any adverse effect on these spirits detrimentally affects waterbenders. The Water Tribes are divided into the Southern, Northern, and lesser known Foggy Swamp tribes, as well as those of the United Republic, each with their own unique bending style.

Opposed Bending Art

Waterbending is a fluid bending art, based on redirecting energy, graceful movements and healing spirit energies. Firebending is the opposite of this. Waterbenders are generally indirect or elusive with their attacks, while Firebenders are aggressive and straightforward. Waterbenders are generally passive and peaceful, preferring to stay within their tribal lands. Firebenders are passionate and always eager to expand their influence.

Like all of the bending arts, Waterbending is balanced out as to not be more or less powerful than the other arts, though it is easily the most dynamic and agile of the four. It is the skill and power of the user that determines victory.

Preparing and using bending moves

The Waterbender table shows how many chi points you have to use your more powerful bending abilities. The table also shows what the maximum bending move level those moves can be at your level. To use one of your bending abilities you must expend the amount of Chi points required to use a bending move of that level (Table Below). You regain all your expended Chi points when you finish a long rest.

Bending moves of 6th level and higher are particularly taxing to use. You can use Chi points to use one of each level of 6th or higher. You can’t use another bending move of that same level until you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of Waterbender moves that are available to you each day by choosing a number of bending moves from your Bending Scroll Book equal to your Intelligence Modifier + your Waterbender Level. The bending moves must not be of a level higher than the maximum bending move level for your level (listed in the Waterbender Table above).

Bending known at 1st level or Higher

Each time you gain a Waterbender level, you can add two Waterbender moves of your choice to your Bending Scroll Book. Each of these bending moves must be of a level equal to or less than the maximum bending move level for your level.

On your adventures, you may find other bending scrolls that you can add to your Bending Scroll Book. For each level of the bending move on the scroll, it costs 50gp and takes two hours to copy the found scroll into your Scroll Book.

Bending ability

Intelligence is your bending ability for your Waterbender moves, so you use your Intelligence whenever a bending move refers to your bending ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Waterbender move you use and when making an attack roll with one.

• Bending Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
• Bending Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence Modifier

Ritual Casting

You can use a Waterbender move as a ritual if that bending move has the ritual tag, and you have the move in your Bending Scroll. You don’t need to have the move prepared.

Natural Spring

You are able to draw on the revitalizing nature of water to replenish some of your Chi. Once per day, after you finish a short rest, you can regain a number of Chi points equal to your Waterbender level rounded up to the nearest even number.

Tidal Conduit

At first level you learn to bend water around yourself, constantly flowing in a ring as a conduit between yourself and the Chi all around you.

As a bonus action, you can begin bending water around you to initiate the conduit. This conduit lasts for 1 minute and ends early if you are incapacitated or don any armor or shield (impeding your connection to the spirits). You can also end this connection at any time you choose.

While your Tidal Conduit is active, you gain the following benefits:

• You gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Intelligence modifier + 2
• Your swim speed is equal to your walking speed
• You gain a bonus to any Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a bending move. The bonus equals your Intelligence modifier.
• You can use bending moves with a range of “Touch” through your Conduit. You are considered to have a reach of 10 when your Tidal Conduit is active.
• You can also lash out with your conduit and make attacks with it as if it were a held weapon you are proficient with:

You can use your Tidal Conduit twice. You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th, level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. You can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Chi Mastery

At 18th level, you have achieved such a mastery over certain bending techniques that you can use them at will. Choose a 1st level Waterbender move and a 2nd level Waterbender move that are in your Bending Scroll Book. You can use those bending moves at their lowest level without expending Chi points when you have them prepared. If you want to use either at a higher level, you must expend Chi points as normal.

By spending 8 Hours in study, you can exchange one or both of the bending moves you chose for different bending moves of the same levels.

Purifying Waves

At 20th level, you are in perfect harmony with the currents of the oceans. Once per day, you can call upon those waves to aid you and hamper your enemies.

As an action, you release a large wave of cleansing waters outward. Any allies within 30 feet are affected by these waters and are cured of one disease, or one condition from this list: Blinded, Charmed, Deafened, Frightened, Grappled, Paralyzed, Petrified, Poisoned, Restrained or Stunned.

In addition, until the end of your next turn the affected area is considered difficult terrain for anyone hostile to you.

Bending Circle

Beginning at level 2, you choose to join either the cleansing Circle of the Moon, the dominating Circle of Blood, or if you chose to study with the Foggy Swamp Tribe, you follow the balanced circle of life, which draws from both.

Amon’s Blood Severing

At level 14, you gain the ability to sever an enemy’s connection to their Chi. As an action you touch a creature within your reach. That creature has to make a constitution saving throw against your Bending Save DC to resist your blood bending. On a failed saving throw, the creature is unable to use or concentrate on any bending moves until the end of your next turn.

Once you use this feature, you are unable to use it again until you complete a long rest.

Circle of Life

Hue's Monster

At level 14, you have the ability to control all living plants, regardless of mass or size. You can influence existing plant life to grow massively, enabling you to bend them as weapons or 'suits' like Hue.
