Empowered
Introduction
Preface
Welcome to 5e Empowered. This is a homebrew retooling of the D&D 5th edition rule set in an attempt to extend player agency within the game.
Focuses:
- Class redesign to create a broader tool kit of interactions during combat and out.
- A light retooling of rules mostly for balance and enjoyment of play.
Class Redesign Goals
The core thought of this class rewrite is that every class should provide interesting round to round options for interaction. Currently some classes have a deep well of tools in their kit, the casters come out ahead but some classes my ask one real question of their player such as a fighter’s question of "when to action surge" after which the combat cycle becomes who do I take my attack action against. The goal is that every class should have on going player options that meaningfully affect the game.
A few secondary goals are laid out for the class rewrites in general, first that it’s not too much of a power ramp. It will cause some classes to be more powerful due to more round to round options, inherently the choices will be better than the base attack action or equal but they shouldn't be spamable or redefine the damage curve.
Second the class will not become incompatible with the existing subclasses. There is a deep well of official and unofficial class options out there for subclasses and I want this rewrite to become incompatible with as little of it as possible.

Rage
In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action.
While raging, you gain the following benefits:
- You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
- When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to your proficiency bonus.
- You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while raging.
Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.
Once you have raged the number of times equal to your constitution modifier, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again.
Unarmored Defense
While you are not wearing any armor, your armor class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
Primal Prowess
At 2nd level you learn primal techniques fueled by special dice called martial dice.
Techniques
You learn 1 technique from the berserker list and additional techniques as you level as noted on the berserker class table. Each time you gain a level you may replace one of your techniques with another you qualify for from the same list. You must be raging to use some techniques.
Martial Dice
You have two martial dice at 2nd level, which are d6s. A martial die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended martial dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain additional martial dice as you level, as shown on the berserker table.
Saving Throws
Saving Throws. Some of your Primal Techniques require your target to make a saving throw to resist the technique's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Technique Save DC: 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier
Danger Sense
At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.
Primal Path
At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.

Fast Movement
Starting at 5th level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing heavy armor.
Feral Instinct
By 7th level, your instincts are so honed that you have advantage on initiative rolls.
Additionally, if you are surprised at the beginning of combat and aren't incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else on that turn.
Berserker Techniques
Brutal Critical
When you score a critical hit while raging you can roll a martial die adding it and one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for the critical hit.
Charge
You may as an action, expend a martial die and move up to your movement speed then make a single melee attack against a creature within your reach. Add your martial die to the attack roll and if that attack hits add your martial die to the damage.
Cleave
When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one martial die adding it to your damage and attempting to damage another creature with the same attack. Choose another creature within 5 feet of the original target and within your reach. If the original attack roll would hit the second creature, deal your weapon damage to it as well.
Goading Attack
When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one martial die to attempt to goad the target into attacking you. You add the martial die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on all attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn.
Grab
As a bonus action if you have at least one hand free you can expend a martial die to grab hold of a creature within your reach. If the creature is no more than one size larger than you roll the martial die and add it to the grapple check against the creature. If the creature is Larger than you, you may roll the martial die as part of a Strength (Athletics) check if the results are higher than the creature's AC you grab ahold of them and will move with them should they move away from you. While you have a large creature grabbed in this way you cannot take attacks of opportunity against it for movement.
Headbutt
While raging you can expend a martial die as a bonus action to attempt a headbut a creature to the ground. Roll a melee attack with proficiency against a creature adjacent to you. On a hit roll your martial die as bludgeoning damage against the target. In addition, if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you knock the target prone.
Intimidating Prowess
Whenever you make a Charisma (Intimidation) check you may add your Strength in addition your Charisma. In addition you can expend one martial die, and add the martial die to the ability check. You may do this after the ability check is rolled but before the DM determines the results of the roll.
Kick
While raging you can expend a martial die as a bonus action to try and kick a creature no more than one size category larger than you, away from you. Roll a melee attack with proficiency against a creature adjacent to you. On a hit roll your martial die + Str (and rage damage if raging) as bludgeoning damage and the creature must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you knock the target up to 10 feet away from you in a straight line.
Overrun
While raging you can expend a martial die and move up to your movement rate in a straight line attempting to overrun any enemies who are in your path. Each enemy in your path must make a Str save or be pushed 5 feet out of your way and suffer your martial die plus strength modifier in bludgeoning damage. Enemies who fail their saves can not make opportunity attacks against you do to your movement as part of the Overrun technique.
Primal Instinct
When you make a Wisdom (Perception), or Wisdom (Survival) check you can expend one martial die, and add the martial die to the ability check. You may do this after the ability check is rolled but before the DM determines the results of the roll.
Reckless Attack
As part of a weapon attack you may roll a martial die and add its results to an attack roll. You may roll the die after the attack roll is made but must do so before the outcome is determined. All attacks have advantage against you until the beginning of your next round.
Roar
As a bonus action while raging you can make a primal attempt to frighten a number of creatures. Roll your martial die and select up to martial die's results in creatures who can see and hear you, each must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, they are frightened of you. At the end of each of their turns the creature may reattempt the Wisdom save, the frightened effect ending on a success.
See Red
As a reaction while raging you can expend a martial die to reattempt a save vs. an effect that allows for multiple savings throw attempts. Add your martial die to the savings throw's results.
Smash
When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack while raging, you can momentarily weaken its defenses. Roll a martial die, until the start of your next turn, the creature’s AC is lowered by the result of the die.
Taunt
As a bonus action expend a martial die to taunt a creature within 30 feet who can both see and hear you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target’s attack rolls against targets other than you are reduced by your martial die until the end of your next turn.

Spellcasting
As a conduit for divine power, you can cast cleric spells.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the cleric spell list. You learn additional cleric cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Cleric table.
Spell Slots
The Cleric table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of lst level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of cleric spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the cleric spell list. When you do so, choose a number of cleric spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your cleric level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 3rd-level cleric, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of cleric spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells. The power of your spells comes from your devotion to your deity. You use your Wisdom whenever a cleric spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a cleric spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.
Divine Domain
Choose one domain related to your deity. Your choice grants you domain spells and other features when you choose it at 1st level. It also grants you additional ways to use Channel Divinity when you gain that feature at 2nd level, and additional benefits at 6th and 8th levels.
Faith
You gain one faith at the end of a long rest when you pray for spells and can gain additional Faith throughout the day by completing Tenets of your faith as outlined in your Commandments below. Faith can be used to Channel Divinity or can be used to cast a Domain spell (always cast at your highest available spell slot). You may have at most your Cleric level in Faith points at one time.
Commandments
Each domain has a set of three tenets and two taboos or sins, it's commandments, that help to direct you in the service of your deity. Completing a
Domain Spells
Each domain has a list of spells-its domain spells that you gain at the cleric levels noted in the domain description. Once you gain a domain spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you have a domain spell that doesn't appear on the cleric spell list, the spell is nonetheless a cleric spell for you. In addition to being able to cast these Domain Spells using your cleric spell slots you can expend a point of Faith to cast a domain spell without expending a spell slot. Casting in this way always uses you at your hightest avalable spell slot as listed on the cleric class table.

Some domains grant you additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description. When you use your Channel Divinity, you expend a Faith point and choose which effect to create. Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your cleric spell save DC.

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. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Divine Intervention
Beginning at 10th level, you can call on your deity to intervene on your behalf when your need is great. Imploring your deity's aid requires you to use your action. Describe the assistance you seek, and roll a d20. If you roll a 19+, your deity intervenes. The DM chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell or cleric domain spell would be appropriate. If your deity intervenes, you can't use this feature again for 7 days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a long rest. Empowered Request: You can spend any number of faith points to increase your chance of success, add +1 to your result for each point you spend. You may decide how many points after you make your roll.

- (a) a scimitar or (b) any simple melee weapon
- Leather armor, an explorer's pack, and a druidic focus
Druidic
You know Druidic, the secret language of druids. You can speak the language and use it to leave hidden messages. You and others who know this language automatically spot such a message. Others spot the message's presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but can't decipher it without magic.
Spellcasting
Drawing on the divine essence of nature itself, you can cast spells to shape that essence to your will.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the druid spell list. You learn additional druid cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Druid table.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Druid table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these druid spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of druid spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the druid spell list. When you do so, choose a number of druid spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Druid level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 3rd-level druid, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since your magic draws upon your devotion and attunement to nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a druid spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a druidic focus as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells.
Wild Shape
Starting at 2nd level, your connection with nature allows you to magically assume the form of a beast an action. You can assume either a Scout Form, a small critter ideal for exploration and espionage — or a Combat Form, a hearty beast fit for battle. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier but may only assume your combat form with two of those uses. You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a short or long rest.
You can stay in a druidic form for a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down).
You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you drop to 0 hitpoints or die.
Statistics.
You adopt the following aspects and statistics of your druidic form while in it:
-
Your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores are replaced by your form’s.
-
You assume the form’s hitpoints as listed in its statblock.
-
You can’t speak or cast spells.
-
Your ability take to any action that requires hands is limited by your form’s anatomy.
-
Your equipment magically merges into your new form and has no effect (unless your DM says you can wield or wear it instead).
-
You keep the following aspects and statistics of your normal form even while in druidic form:
-
Your alignment, personality, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores remain the same.
-
You retain all proficiencies and can understand all the languages you normally know.
-
You can maintain concentration on spells, and take actions as part of a spell.
-
You retain the benefit of any features from your race, class or other sources and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so.
Overflow Damage
When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hitpoints you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hitpoints, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in druidic form and have only 1 hitpoint left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hitpoints, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
If your druidic form is instantly killed or reduced to 0 hitpoints by an effect that normally kills you outright when it does so, such as the disintegrate or power word kill spells, you die as per the effects of the spell or ability then revert to your normal form.
Appearance
When you shift into a form, you can determine its appearance. The forms of many druids take on aspects of their personal appearance, but you can customize it as you desire, within reasonable limitations of the form’s anatomy.
A creature that is suspicious of your form can make a contested Intelligence (Nature) check against your Intelligence (Nature) check to determine that you are in fact a shapeshifted druid rather than a naturally curious animal. A fellow druid automatically succeeds on this check (and so do you, if you are making it against another druid in their form). Contents
Scout Form
Your Scout form can be any tiny or small animal that can readily maneuver around terrain, scout areas easily, and spy on potential enemies while hiding in plain sight; like Cats, Hawks, Cuttlefish, Spiders, Owls, and Foxes make good scouts. Scout Forms are unsuited for combat, lacking effective attacks and able to be swatted out of the air by even mundane predators. No matter the form you choose when you transform into your Scout Form, you adopt the stat block below, choosing tiny or small and one of the listed traits available at your druid level appropriate to the animal you’ve chosen to become (i.e. the flight trait wouldn’t be a good pick for a fox and the climb trait would be a bad fit with a dog form).

Combat Form
Combat Forms are formidable beasts useful for tearing into foes and weathering their attacks. Combat Forms might have special movement modes and senses, but their primary purpose is to do battle.

- (a) five javelins or (b) any simple melee weapon
- (a) a priest's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
- Chain mail and a holy symbol
Divine Sense
The presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity (the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich, for instance). Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the Hallow spell.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.
Lay on Hands
Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of d8s that you may spend to fuel this healing that replenishes when you take a long rest. The number of dice in the pool equals to your paladin level.
As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore 1d8 + your Charisma modifier of hit points to that creature. As a part of this action you can spend any number of additional d8s, up to the number remaining in your pool, adding them to the amount healed.
Alternatively, you can expend a d8 from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending d8 separately for each one.
This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.
Combat Discipline
At 1st level, you learn Disciplined Techniques that are fueled by special dice called martial dice.
Techniques
You learn one technique of your choice from the paladin list at first level. Many techniques enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one technique per attack. You learn an additional techniques from the paladin list as you gain levels in paladin as shown in the paladin class table. Each time you learn a new technique, you can also replace one you know with a different one from the same list.
Martial Dice
You have two martial dice at 1st level, which are d6s. A martial die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended marital dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain additional martial dice as you level, as shown on the paladin table.
Saving Throws
Some of your techniques require your target to make a saving throw to resist the techniques's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Technique save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Wisdom modifier (your choice)
Fighting Style
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
Blessed Warrior
You learn two cantrips of your choice from the cleric spell list. They count as paladin spells for you, and Charisma is your spellcasting ability for them. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of these cantrips with another cantrip from the cleric spell list.
Blind Fighting
Being unable to see a creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it, provided the creature isn’t hidden from you.
Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
Interception
When a creature you can see hits a target that is within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.
Protection
When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.
Spellcasting
By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on divine magic through meditation and prayer to cast spells as a cleric does.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Paladin table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. To cast one of your paladin spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of paladin spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the paladin spell list. When you do so, choose a number of paladin spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your paladin level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level paladin, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of paladin spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your paladin spells, since their power derives from the strength of your convictions. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a paladin spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your paladin spells.
Divine Smite
Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend, to a maximum of 6d8.
Divine Health
By 3rd level, the divine magic flowing through you makes you immune to disease.
Sacred Oath
When you reach 3rd level, you swear the oath that binds you as a paladin forever. Up to this time you have been in a preparatory stage, committed to the path but not yet sworn to it. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th level. Those features include oath spells and the Channel Divinity feature.
Faith
You gain one faith at the end of a long rest when you pray for spells and can gain additional Faith throughout the day by completing Tenets of your faith as outlined in your Commandments below. Faith can be used to Channel Divinity or can be used to create a spell slot for Smite or to cast an Oath Spell (always creates the highest available spell slot available at your paladin level). You may have at most your Paladin level in Faith points at one time.
Commandments
Each Oath has a set of three tenets and two taboos or sins, it's commandments, that help to direct you in the service of your deity. Completing a tenet earns you a faith point as does completing the your prayers at the end of a long rest. While committing a Sin loses you a faith point or, in the case of a particularly grievous sin, makes you unable to gain faith until they atone.
You and the DM should work out the commandments of their faith on character creation, not all paladins of the same deity need to have the same Commandments as sects and denominations within a faith may have differing beliefs.
Suggested Tenets
- Feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty: spend significant time or resources providing food and water for those in need.
- Give selflessly to the sick, homeless, and poor: spend significant time or resources providing for the less fortunate.

- Suffer not taint of the hells or abyss on the realm: Find and destroy fiends.

- Defend the innocent: Prevent harm from coming to a living creature.
- Deliver vengeance for those who are wronged: spend significant time or resources to avenge a grievous wrong you know to have been committed.
- Preserve the knowledge or your ancestors and expand upon it: spend significant time or resources to gain knowledge
- Spread knowledge and learning through the world: Take time or make great effort to spread knowledge.
- Hold no fear in the face of death: Enter battle against unlikely odds.
- Value coin and wealth as the favor of god: Take great risk, and successfully, gain wealth.
- Respect all life even of the lowest plant and animal: Preventing acts of cruelty against defenseless animals.

- Hunting for sport or cruelty, torturing wild animals
- Willfully burning a forest or other natural area.
- Willfully aiding an enemy of your faith
- Betraying the trust of another of the faith
Oath Spells
Each oath has a list of associated spells. You gain access to these spells at the levels specified in the oath description. Once you gain access to an oath spell, you always have it prepared. Oath spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.
If you gain an oath spell that doesn't appear on the paladin spell list, the spell is nonetheless a paladin spell for you.
Channel Divinity
Your oath allows you to channel divine energy to fuel magical effects. Each Channel Divinity option provided by your oath explains how to use it.
When you use your Channel Divinity, you expend a Faith point and choose which effect to create.
Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your paladin spell save DC.
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. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

During your rogue training you learned thieves' cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 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. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- (a) a quarterstaff or (b) a dagger
- (a) a component pouch or (b) an arcane focus
- (a) a scholar's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
- A spellbook
Spellcasting
As a student of arcane magic, you have a spellbook containing spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn additional wizard cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Wizard table.
Spellbook
At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing six 1st-level wizard spells of your choice.
The spells that you add to your spellbook as you gain levels reflect the arcane research you conduct on your own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other spells during your adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil wizard's chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library.
Copying a Spell into the Book. When you find a wizard spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a level for which you have spell slots and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it. Copying a spell into your spellbook involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the wizard who wrote it. You must practice the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your spellbook using your own notation.
For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells.
Replacing the Book. You can copy a spell from your own spellbook into another book-for example, if you want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell. If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires you to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many wizards keep backup spellbooks in a safe place.
The Book's Appearance. Your spellbook is a unique compilation of spells, with its own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume that you received as a gift from your master, a finely bound gilt-edged tome you found in an ancient library or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together after you lost your previous spellbook in a mishap.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Wizard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of wizard spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of wizard spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your wizard level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you're a 3rd-level wizard, you have four 1st-1evel and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your spellbook. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Magic Missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of wizard spells requires time spent studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantiations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a wizard spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don't need to have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.
Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher
Each time you gain a wizard level, you can add two wizard spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Wizard table. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your spellbook.
Arcane Recovery
You have learned to regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook. When you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your wizard level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.
For example, if you're a 4th-level wizard, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.
Arcane Familiar
A familiar is an animal chosen by a spellcaster to aid him in his study of magic. Badgers, bats, cats, toads, hawks, lizards, owl, poisonous snakes, rats, ravens, spiders, and weasels are the most common familiars but any tiny or small beast of cr < 1 can become a familiar. The familiar has the Statistics of the chosen form except that it adds you proficiency bonus to its AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to any saving throws and skills it is proficient in. Its hit point maximum equals three times your level.
Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In Combat, your familiar acts on your turn.
While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any Special Senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own Senses.
Finally, when you Cast a Spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its Reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an Attack roll, you use your Spell Attack modifier for the roll.
Should your familiar be killed you can spend 100 gold worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs to perform a ritual to return them to life or to summon a new familiar.
At 5th level your familiar gains one of the following advancements Flight. Your familiar gains a a flying speed of 30 feet if it didn't already have it. Additionally, your familiar doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity when it flies out of an opponents reach.
Aquatic Adaptation. Your familiar gains a swim speed of 30 feet if it didn't already have it, and it is able to breathe underwater.
Invisibility. As an action, your familiar can magically turn invisible until it attacks, you cast a spell through it, or its concentration ends (As if concentrating on a spell).
Magic Resistance. Your familiar has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. Your familiar shares this trait with you if you are within 10 feet of your familiar.
Telepathy. You are able to telepathically communicate with a creature, as long as your familiar is touching them, and you are both on the same plane of existence.
Removal of the Familiar Spell
The familiar spell no longer appears on the wizard spell list or any other spell list making this and the Pact of the Chain warlock class feater the only ways to recive a familiar.
Arcane Bonded Object (Alternative to Arcane Familiar)
If you select a bonded object instead of an Arcane Familiar you begin play with an amulet, ring, staff, wand, or weapon. If the object is an amulet or ring, it must be worn to have effect, while staves, wands, and weapons must be held in one hand.
A bonded object can be used as an arcane spell focus and while in your position it allows you to prepare one additional spell,
You can bond yourself to a new object that falls into the above categories over the span of a long rest.
Arcane Tradition
When you reach 2nd level, you choose an arcane tradition, shaping your practice of magic. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
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. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Multiclassing
Multiclassing allows you to gain levels in multiple classes. Doing so lets you mix the abilities of those classes to realize a character concept that might not be reflected in one of the standard class options.
With this rule, you have the option of gaining a level in a new class whenever you advance in level, instead of gaining a level in your current class. Your levels in all your classes are added together to determine your character level. For example, if you have three levels in wizard and two in fighter, you're a 5th-level character.
As you advance in levels, you might primarily remain a member of your original class with just a few levels in another class, or you might change course entirely, never looking back at the class you left behind. You might even start progressing in a third or fourth class. Compared to a single-class character of the same level, you'll sacrifice some focus in exchange for versatility.
Class Features
When you gain a new level in a class, you get its features for that level. You don't, however, receive the class's starting equipment, and a few features have additional rules when you're multiclassing: Faith, Commandments, Extra Attack, Martila Dice, Unarmored Defense, and Spellcasting.
Faith
When you gain the Faith ability from multiple classes you can freely spend Faith points on any feature that calls for it regardless of class but do not gain additional Faith points at the end of a long rest. Your maximum number of faith is the highest of the available options presented by your class features.
Commandments
Your DM may decide to give additional Tenets and Sins as you gain this feature with a new class but it is recommended that the Commandments be shared between Domains and Oaths.
Extra Attack
If you gain the Extra Attack class feature from more than one class, the features don't add together. You can't make more than two attacks with this feature unless it says you do (as the fighter's version of Extra Attack does). Similarly, the warlock's eldritch invocation Thirsting Blade doesn't give you additional attacks if you also have Extra Attack.
Unarmored Defense
If you already have the Unarmored Defense feature, you can't gain it again from another class.
Martial Dice
Your martial prowls is based on your combined levels in all classes that gain martial dice and partly on your individual levels in those classes. Once you have the Martial Dice feature from more than one class, use the rules below. If you multiclass but have the Martial Dice feature from only one class, you follow the rules as described in that class.
Techniques
You determine what techniques you know and for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are a ranger 4/fighter 3, for example, you know three techniques from ranger based on your levels in the ranger class. As 3rd-level fighter, you also know three techniques from that list and the ranger Techniques do not count against these.
Multiclass Martial Table
| Level | Number of Dice | Martial Die |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | 2 | d6 |
| 2nd | 2 | d6 |
| 3rd | 3 | d6 |
| 4th | 3 | d6 |
| 5th | 4 | d8 |

| 7th | 5 | d8 |
| 8th | 5 | d8 |
| 9th | 6 | d8 |
| 10th | 6 | d10 |
Size and Number of Martial Dice
You determine your available martial dice and their value by adding together all your levels in the barbarian, fighter, rogue and monk classes, and half your levels (rounded down) in the ranger and paladin classes. Use this total to determine your martial die total consulting the Multiclass Martial table.
Multiclass Spellcaster
Spell Slots per Spell Level

Spellcasting
Your capacity for spellcasting depends partly on your combined levels in all your spellcasting classes and partly on your individual levels in those classes. Once you have the Spellcasting feature from more than one class, use the rules below. If you multiclass but have the Spellcasting feature from only one class, you follow the rules as described in that class.
Spells Known and Prepared. You determine what spells you know and can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are a ranger 4/wizard 3, for example, you know three 1st-level ranger spells based on your levels in the ranger class. As 3rd-level wizard, you know three wizard cantrips, and your spellbook contains ten wizard spells, two of which (the two you gained when you reached 3rd level as a wizard) can be 2nd-level spells. If your Intelligence is 16, you can prepare six wizard spells from your spellbook.
Each spell you know and prepare is associated with one of your classes, and you use the spellcasting ability of that class when you cast the spell. Similarly, a spellcasting focus, such as a holy symbol, can be used only for the spells from the class associated with that focus.
Spell Slots
You determine your available spell slots by adding together all your levels in the bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, and wizard classes, and half your levels (rounded down) in the paladin and ranger classes. Use this total to determine your spell slots by consulting the Multiclass Spellcaster table.
If you have more than one spellcasting class, this table might give you spell slots of a level that is higher than the spells you know or can prepare. You can use those slots, but only to cast your lower-level spells. If a lower-level spell that you cast, like burning hands, has an enhanced effect when cast using a higher-level slot, you can use the enhanced effect, even though you don't have any spells of that higher level.
For example, if you are the aforementioned ranger 4/wizard 3, you count as a 5th-level character when determining your spell slots: you have four 1st-level slots, three 2nd-level slots, and two 3rd-level slots. However, you don't know any 3rd-level spells, nor do you know any 2nd-level ranger spells. You can use the spell slots of those levels to cast the spells you do know — and potentially enhance their effects.
Pact Magic
If you have both the Spellcasting class feature and the Pact Magic class feature from the warlock class, you can use the spell slots you gain from the Pact Magic feature to cast spells you know or have prepared from classes with the Spellcasting class feature, and you can use the spell slots you gain from the Spellcasting class feature to cast warlock spells you know.
House Rules
This are not part of the class rewrite just suggested/optional house rules I think improve the game.
Cantrip Damage
All Cantrips add your casting stat to their damage.
If a Cantrip would already add your caster stat you may add it twice.
Note: you'll want to remove the Eldritch Invocation Agonizing blast if you use the house rule.
Short Rest Progression
Short rest take progressively more time but start out much faster, Your First Short rest is 10 minute, your second is 30, third is an hour, forth would be 2 hours and fifth would be 4 hours. after your fifth short rest you can no longer take short rest until you complete a long rest. A long rest resets the cycle, you are limited to 5 short rests a day.
10 minutes>30 minutes>1 Hour>2 Hours>4 Hours
Lingering Death Saves
Failed Death Saves are not removed until you complete a short or long rest.
Potions as bonus actions
Pulling out and drinking a potion yourself takes a Bonus Action. Using a potion on an ally is still an action.
Empowered Inspiration
Gaining Inspiration
At the end of each game players may nominate one or more player to receive an inspiration token for a particularly good moment of game play during the session. No player may have more than one inspiration token but they may transfer a token to another player upon receiving a second one.
Using Inspiration
If you have inspiration, you can expend it when you make an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check.
Spending your inspiration gives you pseudo-advantage on the roll where the second roll is always 20 (though not a critical). This roll counts as having advantage for the purposes of class skills and effects (e.g. sneak attack). Spending inspiration on a roll that is suffering disadvantage results in a roll of 20 (no d20 roll needed), this roll cannot crit and does not count as having advantage or disadvantage.
Effectively you can spend your inspiration to buy a "20" on a d20.
Spending inspiration usually constitutes an exemplar moment, and should come with a description of the amazing thing you're doing resulting in your 20; a weapon maneuver, acrobatic stunt, moment of brilliance, bout of luck, etc.
Critical's & Called Abilities
Effects that can be added after an attack is rolled (such as the paladins smite) can not benefit from critical hits.
Feats
Great Weapon Master/Sharpshooter
Before you make an attack with a heavy/ranged weapon, you can choose to forgo your proficiency bonus on the attack. If the attack hits, you add twice your proficiency bonus to the attack’s damage.
Martial Adept
You have martial training that allows you to perform special combat techniques. You gain the following benefits:
-
You learn two techniques of your choice from the the fighter technique list or a list you already have access to. If the techniques requires a saving throw, the DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice).
-
You gain 1 martial die (if you don't already have martial die class feature, it is a d6). This die is used to fuel your techniques. It is expended when you use it, and is regained when you finish a short or long rest.
