Barbarian Class Features

As a Barbarian, you gain the following class features when you reach the specified levels in this class. These features are listed in the Barbarian class table.

3rd Level: Primal Knowledge

You gain proficiency in another skill of your choice from the list of skills available to Barbarians at 1st level.

In addition, while your Rage is active, you can channel primal power when you attempt certain tasks; whenever you make an ability check using one of the following skills, you can make it as a Strength check even if it normally uses a different ability: Acrobatics, Intimidation, Perception, Stealth, or Survival. When you use this ability, your Strength represents primal power coursing through you, honing your agility and senses.

4th Level: Feat

You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat, or another feat of your choice for which you qualify.

You gain this feature again when you reach 8th, 10th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level in this class, as shown on the Barbarian table.

5th Level: Extra Attack

You can attack twice, instead of once, when you take the Attack action on your turn.

5th Level: Fast Movement

Your Speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing Heavy Armor.

Additionally, when you enter your Rage and as a Bonus Action while your Rage is active, you can move up to half your Speed straight toward an enemy you can see.

7th Level: Feral Instincts

You have honed your instincts through training and battle, gaining the following benefits:

• Superior Initiative. You have Advantage on Initiative rolls.
• Raging Pounce. Immediately after a creature within 5 feet of you gains the Prone condition while your Rage is active, you can make an Opportunity Attack against that creature.

9th Level: Brutal Critical

When you score a critical hit with an Unarmed Strike or a weapon using Strength, you can roll a number of d6s equal to your Proficiency Bonus and add them to the extra damage of the critical hit. This damage is of the same type as the weapon or Unarmed Strike used for the attack.

Additionally, when you hit a creature with an attack roll using Strength, you can turn the hit into a critical hit. Once you use this benefit, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

11th Level: Relentless Rage

Your Rage can keep you fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 Hit Points while your Rage is active and don’t die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, your Hit Points instead change to a number equal to twice your Barbarian level.

Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest, the DC resets to 10.

13th Level: Primal Abandon

You constantly exude primal ferocity that empowers your strikes and guards you against harmful magic. You gain the following benefits:

• Guarded Body. When you fail a saving throw against a spell or magic item while your Rage is active, you can use your Reaction to reroll it, and you must use the new roll.
• Sundering Strikes. When you reduce an enemy within 5 feet of you to 0 Hit Points with a melee attack using one of your chosen kinds of Mastery weapon, you can immediately apply the Cleave property to that attack. You can use this benefit even if your weapon lacks the Heavy property, or if you have already used the Cleave property during the current turn.

15th Level: Unstoppable Rage

Your Rage is so fierce that you can enter it at any time during your turn without using a Bonus Action, provided you aren't Unconscious. Additionally, when you enter your Rage, you can end every effect on yourself that is causing you to have the Dazed or Incapacitated conditions.

Furthermore, your Rage now lasts for 10 minutes without you needing to do anything to extend it from round to round. The Rage still ends early if you have the Unconscious condition or don Heavy Armor, or if you choose to end it as a Bonus Action.

17th Level: Indomitable Might

When you roll Initiative and have no uses of Rage remaining, you regain one expended use of it.

Additionally, if your total for a Strength check or Strength saving throw is less than your Strength score, you can use that score in place of the total.

18th Level: Feral Senses

Your connection to primal forces grants you Blindsight with a range of 30 feet.

20th Level: Barbaric Paragon

You have reached the pinnacle of your adventuring career as a Barbarian. You gain the following benefits:

• Primal Champion. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 4, as does your maximum for those scores.
• Epic Boon. You gain the Epic Boon of Irresistible Offense feat or another Epic Boon feat of your choice for which you qualify.

Barbarian Subclasses

A Barbarian subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain levels, as specified in the subclass. This section currently presents four subclasses: the Path of the Berserker, the Path of the Wildheart, the Path of the World Tree, and the Path of the Zealot.

3rd Level: Berserk Strike

If you take the Attack action on the same turn that you enter your Rage, you can make one additional attack with a weapon or Unarmed Strike as part of that action.

3rd Level: Frenzy

If you use Reckless Attack while your Rage is active, your Rage Damage bonus is doubled until the start of your next turn.

6th Level: Mindless Rage

You have immunity to the Charmed and Frightened conditions while your Rage is active. If you’re Charmed or Frightened when you enter your Rage, that condition ends on you.

11th Level: Retaliation

When you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your Reaction to make one melee attack against that creature, using a weapon or an Unarmed Strike.

14th Level: Intimidating Presence

As a Bonus Action, you can strike terror into others with your menacing presence as you swell with primal power. When you do so, each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you — or 60 feet of you if your Rage is active — must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Strength modifier), provided the creature isn’t behind Total Cover. On a failed save, a creature has the Frightened condition for 1 minute. At the end of each of the Frightened creature’s turns, the creature repeats the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a successful save.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also expend a use of your Rage to restore your use of this feature, instead of entering your Rage (no action required).

Path of the Wildheart

Barbarians who follow the Path of the Wildheart view themselves as kin to the animal inhabitants of the natural world. They learn magical means to connect and communicate with animals, and their Rage heightens their connection to animals as it fills them with supernatural might.

14th Level: Heart of the Wilds

You gain a second option of your choice for each of your Rage of the Wilds, Aspect of the Wilds, and Talent of the Wilds features.

Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change one of your chosen options for one of those features.

Path of the World Tree

Barbarians who follow the Path of the World Tree believe that their Rage links them to the cosmic ash tree Yggdrasil. This “world tree” grows among the Outer Planes, connecting them to each other and to the many worlds of the Material Plane, and the greatest plants on every world are said to be distant descendants of mighty Yggdrasil. These Barbarians draw on their connection to the world tree as a source of vitality and as a means of travel across the multiverse.

Path of the Zealot

For Barbarians who walk the Path of the Zealot, their Rage is not merely a connection to nature; it is a gift from a god. These Barbarians often experience their Rage as an ecstatic experience of union with their gods, infusing them with divine power to pursue the gods’ purposes in the world.

6th Level: Fanatical Focus

If you fail a saving throw while your Rage is active, you can reroll it with Advantage, and you must use the new roll. You can use this feature only once per active Rage.

11th Level: Zealous Presence

As a Bonus Action, you can unleash a battle cry infused with divine energy. If you do, you gain Temporary Hit Points equal to 1d12 + your Barbarian level, and up to ten other creatures of your choice within 60 feet of you gain Advantage on attack rolls and saving throws until the start of your next turn.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also expend a use of your Rage to restore your use of this feature, instead of entering your Rage (no action required).

14th Level: Rage Beyond Death

When your Relentless Rage successfully restores your Hit Points, you can assume the form of a spectral warrior. While in this form, you gain the following benefits:

• Flight. You have a Fly Speed equal to your Speed and can Hover. You can move through creatures and objects as if they were Difficult Terrain, but you take 1d10 Force damage if you end your turn inside a creature or an object.
• Necrotic or Radiant Damage. When you deal damage with an attack using an Unarmed Strike or melee weapon, you can cause it to deal Necrotic or Radiant damage or its normal damage type.
• Thwart Attack. When you're hit by an attack roll, you can use your Reaction to turn that hit into a miss.
• Undying. You cannot die, and you are immune to the Unconscious condition. If you drop to 0 Hit Points in this form, you remain conscious, but you still make death saving throws and suffer the normal effects of taking damage at 0 Hit Points.

The form lasts for 1 minute, until your Rage ends, or until you regain any Hit Points. If the form ends and you have 0 Hit Points, you gain the Unconscious condition, or you die if you have three death saving throw failures.

Once you use this feature to assume this form, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

Creating a Bard

To create a Bard, consult the information listed below, which provides your Hit Points, Proficiencies, and Armor Training. If you're making a 1st-level character, also consult the "Starting Equipment" section; if you are using the multiclassing rules, see the "Multiclassing and the Bard" section.

Once you have noted your starting abilities as a Bard, consult the Bard table above to see the class features you get at each level in this class. Descriptions for those features appear in the "Bard Class Features" section.

Bard Class Features

As a Bard, you gain the following class features when you reach the specified levels in this class. These features are listed on the Bard table.

7th Level: Countercharm

You can use musical notes or words of power to disrupt mind-influencing effects. If you or a creature within 30 feet of you fails a saving throw against an effect that applies the Charmed or Frightened condition, you can use your Reaction to cause the saving throw to be rerolled, and the new roll has Advantage.

Once you reach 15th level in this class, you can target up to three creatures at once when you use this feature, provided each target failed its saving throw against the same effect.

11th Level: Magical Secrets

You have collected magical knowledge from a wide spectrum of disciplines. Choose one of the following types of magic: Arcane, Divine, Occult, or Primal. Each type of magic is closely associated with a particular spellcasting class, as shown in the Magical Secrets table, and that class's spell list is added to the Bard spell list for you. If your chosen type of magic is associated with more than one class, you choose which class's spell list is added to the Bard spell list for you.

18th Level: Superior Inspiration

When you roll Initiative and have no more than two uses of your Bardic Inspiration remaining, you regain two expended uses of it.

20th Level: Bardic Paragon

You have reached the pinnacle of your adventuring career as a Bard. You gain the following benefits:

• Words of Creation. You always have the Power Word Heal and Power Word Kill spells prepared. Moreover, when you cast either of these spells, you can target a second creature with that casting of the spell, provided the second creature is within 10 feet of the first target.
• Epic Boon. You gain the Epic Boon of Luck feat or another Epic Boon feat of your choice for which you qualify.

Bard Subclasses

A Bard subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain levels, as specified in the subclass. This section currently presents four subclasses: the College of Dance, the College of Glamour, the College of Lore, and the College of Valor.

10th Level: Dancer's Evasion

When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and you take only half damage if you fail. If any creatures within 5 feet of you are making the same Dexterity saving throw, you can use your Reaction to share this benefit with one of those creatures of your choice for that saving throw.

You can’t use this feature if you have the Incapacitated condition.

14th Level: Irresistible Rhythm

As a Bonus Action, you can enter a state of pure, unbridled motion. When you enter this state and at the start of each of your turns while in this state, you create one of the following effects of your choice:

• Energy. When a creature starts its turn within 15 feet of you, it takes 1d12 Force damage if it is an enemy; otherwise, it gains 1d12 Temporary Hit Points.
• Intensity. Each enemy within 15 feet of you has Disadvantage on ability checks, and you and each ally within 15 feet of you has Advantage on ability checks.
• Momentum. When a creature starts its turn within 15 feet of you, its Speed is reduced by 15 feet until the end of the turn if it is an enemy; otherwise, its Speed is increased by 15 feet until the end of the turn.

Each effect lasts until the start of your next turn, and you cannot create the same effect two rounds in a row.

You remain in this state for 1 minute, until you have the Incapacitated condition, or until you return to normal as a Bonus Action. Once you enter this state, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of this feature by expending four uses of your Bardic Inspiration (no action required).

College of Glamour

The College of Glamour traces its origins to the beguiling magic of the Feywild. The Bards who study this magic weave threads of beauty and terror into their songs and stories, and the mightiest among them can cloak themselves in otherworldly majesty. Their performances stir up wistful longing for forgotten innocence, evoke unconscious memories of long-held fears, and tug at the emotions of even the most hard-hearted listeners.

College of Lore

Bards of the College of Lore know something about most things, collecting bits of knowledge from sources as diverse as scholarly tomes and peasant tales. Whether singing folk ballads in taverns or performing elaborate compositions in royal courts, these Bards use their gifts to hold audiences spellbound.

College of Valor

Bards of the College of Valor are daring storytellers whose tales keep alive the memory of the great heroes of the past. These Bards sing the deeds of the mighty, both past and present, in vaulted halls or to crowds gathered around great bonfires. They travel the land to witness great events firsthand and to ensure that the memory of these events doesn’t pass from the world. With their songs, they inspire new generations to reach the same heights of accomplishment as the heroes of old.

Creating a Cleric

To create a Cleric, consult the information listed below, which provides your Hit Points, Proficiencies, and Armor Training. If you're making a 1st-level character, also consult the "Starting Equipment" section; if you are using the multiclassing rules, see the "Multiclassing and the Cleric" section.

Once you have noted your starting abilities as a Cleric, consult the Cleric table above to see the class features you get at each level in this class. Descriptions for those features appear in the "Cleric Class Features" section.

Cleric Class Features

As a Cleric, you gain the following class features when you reach the specified levels in this class. These features are listed on the Cleric table.

4th Level: Feat

You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat, or another feat of your choice for which you qualify.

You gain this feature again when you reach 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level in this class, as shown on the Cleric table.

5th Level: Smite Undead

Your prayers of censure can now smite the undying. Whenever you use Turn Undead, you can roll a number of d8s equal to your Proficiency Bonus and add them together. Each Undead that fails its saving throw against that use of Turn Undead also takes Radiant damage equal to the total rolled; this damage doesn't end the effect of Turn Undead on a creature.

7th Level: Blessed Strikes

Divine power infuses you in battle. You gain one of the following options of your choice:

• Divine Strike. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with an attack roll using a weapon, you can deal an extra 1d8 Necrotic or Radiant damage to the target (your choice when you hit).
• Potent Spellcasting. You can add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any Cleric cantrip.

Whenever you gain a Cleric level, you can replace your chosen option with a different one.

9th Level: Harness Divine Power

As a Magic action, you can touch your Holy Symbol and expend one or more uses of your Channel Divinity to regain expended spell slots. The combined level of the spell slots you regain must be no greater than the number of Channel Divinity uses you expend, and once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

For example, if you expend two uses of your Channel Divinity, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots, either as one 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.

10th Level: Divine Intervention

You can call on your deity or pantheon to intervene on your behalf. As a Magic action, choose any spell of 5th level or lower on the Cleric spell list that doesn’t require a Reaction to cast. As part of the same action, you cast that spell without expending a spell slot or requiring Material components.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

14th Level: Improved Blessed Strikes

The option you chose for Blessed Strikes grows more powerful:

• Divine Strike. The extra damage of your Divine Strike increases to 2d8.
• Potent Spellcasting. When you cast a Divine cantrip and deal damage to a creature with it, you can give vitality to yourself and another creature within 60 feet of yourself. If you do so, both you and the second creature gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1 Temporary Hit Point).

15th Level: Divine Flash

When you use your Divine Spark, you can affect a second creature within 10 feet of the original target as part of the same use of Channel Divinity. If you do so, you can choose the same effect for both creatures or different effects (you roll dice only once).

20th Level: Divine Paragon

You have reached the pinnacle of your adventuring career as a Cleric. You gain the following benefits:

• Greater Divine Intervention. You are able to call on even more powerful divine intervention. When you use your Divine Intervention feature, you can choose Wish when you select a spell. If you do so, you can’t use Divine Intervention again until you finish 2d4 Long Rests.
• Epic Boon. You gain the Epic Boon of Fate feat or another Epic Boon feat of your choice for which you qualify.

Cleric Subclasses

A Cleric subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain levels, as specified in the subclass. This section currently presents four subclasses: the Life Domain, the Light Domain, the Trickery Domain, and the War Domain.

3rd Level: Preserve Life

When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage that would drop it to 0 Hit Points, you can use your Reaction and expend a use of your Channel Divinity to reduce that damage by an amount equal to five times your Cleric level. If you use this feature, you can't cast any spells, other than your Cleric cantrips, until the end of your next turn.

6th Level: Blessed Healer

The healing spells you cast on others heal you as well. Immediately after you cast a spell with a spell slot that restores Hit Points to one or more creatures other than you, you regain Hit Points equal to 2 + the spell slot’s level.

11th Level: Invigorating Cure

When you restore Hit Points to one or more creatures with a spell or Channel Divinity effect, you can choose one of those creatures and cause it to regain one of its expended Hit Dice (if it has any). Once a creature gains this benefit from you, it can't do so again until you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest.

18th Level: Supreme Healing

When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore Hit Points to a creature with a spell or Channel Divinity effect, don’t roll those dice for the healing; instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 Hit Points to a creature with a spell, you restore 12.

Light Domain

The Light Domain emphasizes the divine power to bring about blazing fire and revelation. Clerics who wield this power are enlightened souls infused with radiance and the power of their deities’ discerning vision, charged with chasing away lies and burning away darkness.

Trickery Domain

The Trickery Domain offers magic of deception, illusion, and stealth. Clerics who wield this magic are a disruptive force in the world, puncturing pride, mocking tyrants, stealing from the rich, freeing captives, and flouting hollow traditions. They prefer subterfuge, pranks, and theft rather than direct confrontation.

3rd Level: Invoke Duplicity

You can use your Channel Divinity to create an illusory duplicate of yourself.

As a Bonus Action, you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity to teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see, and you create a perfect visual illusion of yourself in the space you left. The illusion lasts for 1 minute, and it ends early if you have the Incapacitated condition or dismiss it as a Bonus Action.

While the illusion persists, you can utilise it in the following ways:

• Cast Spells. You can cast spells as though you were in the illusion’s space, but you must use your own senses.
• Distract. When both you and your illusion are within 5 feet of a creature that can see the illusion, you have Advantage on attack rolls against that creature, given how distracting the illusion is to the target.
• Move. As a Bonus Action, you can move the illusion up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is within 120 feet of yourself, and you can then teleport, swapping places with the illusion.

6th Level: Trickster's Magic

When you cast one of the spells from your Domain Spells feature, you can change the spell's casting time to a Bonus Action for that casting.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a Long Rest.

11th Level: Soul of Deceit

You are immune to any effect that would allow another creature to contact you telepathically or read your thoughts, unless you choose to allow it.

In addition, no matter what you say, magic that would determine if you are telling the truth indicates you are being truthful if you so choose, and you can't be compelled to tell the truth by magic.

18th Level: Improved Duplicity

The illusion of your Invoke Duplicity has grown more powerful. When you create it, you can teleport up to 120 feet, rather than 30 feet; and when you move it, you can move it up to 60 feet, rather than 30 feet. In addition, when you and your allies make attack rolls against a creature within 5 feet of the illusion, the attack rolls have Advantage. Finally, when the illusion ends, you or a creature of your choice within 5 feet of the illusion's space regains a number of Hit Points equal to your Cleric level.

War Domain

War has many manifestations. It can make heroes of ordinary people. It can be desperate and horrific, with acts of cruelty and cowardice eclipsing instances of excellence and courage. Clerics who tap into the magic of the War Domain excel in battle, inspiring others to fight the good fight or offering acts of violence as prayers.

Creating a Druid

To create a Druid, consult the following lists, which provide Hit Points, proficiencies, and armor training. If you're making a character at 1st level, also consult the "Starting Equipment" section, and if you're using the multiclassing rules, see the "Multiclassing and the Druid" sidebar.

Then look at the Druid table to see the class features you get at each level in this class. Descriptions of those features appear in the "Druid Class Features" section.

Druid Class Features

As a Druid, you gain the following class features when you reach the specified levels in this class. These features are listed in the Druid class table.

2nd Level: Wild Companion

You can summon a nature spirit that assumes an animal form to aid you. As a Magic action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape to cast the Find Familiar spell without expending a spell slot or requiring Material components.

When you cast Find Familiar in this way, the familiar you summon is a Fey, and it disappears when you use your Wild Shape again or you finish a Long Rest.

3rd Level: Druid Subclass

You gain a Druid subclass of your choice, the options for which are listed in the "Druid Subclasses" section after this class's description.

A subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain Druid levels. For the rest of your adventuring career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Druid level and lower.

4th Level: Feat

You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat, or another feat of your choice for which you qualify.

You gain this feature again when you reach 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level in this class, as shown on the Druid table.

5th Level: Wild Resurgence

If you have no uses of your Wild Shape remaining, you can restore one use of it by expending a spell slot (no action required). You can do so only once per turn.

In addition, you can use a Bonus Action and expend one use of your Wild Shape to regain an expended 1st-level spell slot. Once you take this Bonus Action, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

7th Level: Elemental Fury

When a creature takes damage from one of your Druid cantrips or attacks using a weapon, including the natural weapons of your Wild Shape forms, you can also deal 1d8 Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder damage to that creature (your choice). Once you deal this damage, you can't do so again until the start of your next turn.

When you reach 15th level in this class, the damage increases to 2d8.

9th Level: Land's Stride

Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard. However, you can still be affected by plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such as those created by the Entangle spell.

11th Level: Thousand Forms

While you in a Wild Shape form, you can use a Bonus Action to shift into a different Beast form that you know without leaving your Wild Shape. When you do so, you subtract three hours from the time remaining for your Wild Shape, and you replace the statistics of your current form with those of the new form.

18th Level: Evergreen Wild Shape

When you roll Initiative and have no uses of your Wild Shape remaining, you regain one expended use of it.

In addition, you can cast Druid spells while in a Wild Shape form, except for any spell that has a Material component with a specified cost or that consumes its Material component.

20th Level: Primal Paragon

You have reached the pinnacle of your adventuring career as a Druid. You gain the following benefits:

• Archdruid. You regain all expended uses of your Wild Shape when you finish a Short Rest. Moreover, the primal magic you wield causes you to age more slowly; for every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year.
• Epic Boon. You gain the Epic Boon of Magic Resistance feat, or another Epic Boon feat of your choice for which you qualify.

Druid Subclasses

A Druid subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain levels, as specified in the subclass. This section currently presents four subclasses: the Circle of Stars, the Circle of the Land, the Circle of the Moon, and the Circle of the Seas.

3rd Level: Star Map

Observing the heavens, you conjure forth a star map in your hand at the end of a Short Rest or Long Rest. Your star map is a Tiny object that weighs 2 pounds, and it can serve as a Spellcasting Focus for your Druid spells. You determine the map's appearance and materials, such as a scroll covered with depictions of constellations, or a luminous crystal that projects starry patterns when studied.

While holding your star map, you gain the following benefits:

• Astral Guidance. You know the Guidance cantrip, and it functions as a Druid spell for you.
• Shooting Stars. You have the Guiding Bolt spell prepared and can cast it without expending a spell slot. You can cast Guiding Bolt in this way a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

The map disappears if you conjure another map with this feature, or if you die.

3rd Level: Starry Form

As a Bonus Action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to take on a starry form, rather than transforming into a beast. While in this form, you retain your game statistics, but your body becomes luminous; your joints glimmer like stars, and glowing lines connect them as on a star chart. This form sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. The form lasts for 10 minutes, and it ends early if you have the Incapacitated condition, use this feature again, or revert to your normal form (no action required).

Whenever you assume your starry form, choose which of the following constellations glimmers on your body; your choice gives you certain benefits while in the form:

• Archer. A constellation of an archer appears on you. When you activate this form and as a Bonus Action while your starry form is active, you can make a ranged spell attack, hurling a luminous arrow that targets one creature within 60 feet of you. On a hit, the attack deals Radiant damage equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier.
• Chalice. A constellation of a life-giving goblet appears on you. When a Druid spell you cast with a spell slot restores Hit Points to a creature on the turn you cast it, you can cause one creature of your choice within 30 feet of you to regain Hit Points equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier (you can choose yourself).
• Dragon. A constellation of a wise dragon appears on you. When you make an Intelligence or a Wisdom check or a Constitution saving throw to maintain Concentration on a spell, you can treat a roll of 9 or lower on the d20 as a 10.

6th Level: Cosmic Omens

Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can consult your Star Map for omens. When you do so, roll a die. Until you finish your next Long Rest, you gain access to a special Reaction based on whether you rolled an even or an odd number on the die:

• Weal (even). Whenever a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes a d20 Test, you can use your Reaction to roll a d6 and add the number rolled to the total.
• Woe (odd). Whenever a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes a d20 Test, you can use your Reaction to roll a d6 and subtract the number rolled from the total.

You can use this Reaction a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

10th Level: Improved Starry Form

The constellations of your Starry Form improve in the following ways:

• Archer. The 1d8 of this constellation becomes 2d8, and when you hit with its spell attack, you can push the target up to 10 feet straight away from you.
• Chalice. The 1d8 of this constellation becomes 2d8, and a creature that regains Hit Points from its effect can immediately use its Reaction to move up to half its Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.
• Dragon. While this constellation glimmers on your body, you have a Fly Speed equal to your Speed and can Hover.

Moreover, at the start of each of your turns while in your Starry Form, you can change which constellation glimmers on your body.

14th Level: Twinkling Constellations

When you activate your Starry Form, you can teleport up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.

In addition, while in your Starry Form, you become partially incorporeal, causing you to be Lightly Obscured to others and gain Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage.

Circle of the Land

The Circle of the Land is made up of mystics and sages who safeguard ancient knowledge and rites through a vast oral tradition. These Druids meet within sacred circles of trees or standing stones to whisper primal secrets in Druidic. The circle’s wisest members preside as the chief priests of communities that hold to the Old Faith and serve as advisors to the rulers of those folk.

3rd Level: Land's Aid

You can channel the power of the land itself to protect friends and harm foes. When a creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself is hit by a melee attack, you can use your Reaction and expend a use of your Wild Shape to magically interpose a duplicate of the creature between it and the attacker, provided the hit wasn't a critical hit. The duplicate bears a passing resemblance to the creature and appears to be formed from natural materials associated with your choice of land for your Circle Spells feature. For example, if you chose the Polar land, the duplicate might be formed from ice and snow.

Regardless of its appearance, the duplicate takes the attack instead of the original target, and the attacker must make a Constitution saving throw against your Spell Save DC. The attacker takes Necrotic damage equal to 1d6 + your Druid level on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one, and the duplicate then vanishes.

6th Level: Nature's Bounty

You can tap into the boundless energies of nature to conserve and recover your own magical power. You gain the following benefits:

• Land's Magic. You can cast one of the spells of 1st level or higher that you have prepared from your Circle Spells feature without expending a spell slot. Once you cast a spell in this way, you must finish a Long Rest before you can do so again.
• Natural Recovery. 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 Druid level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. For example, if you’re a 6th-level Druid, you can recover up to three levels worth of spell slots. You can recover a 3rd-level spell slot, a 2nd-level spell slot and a 1st-level spell slot, or three 1st-level spell slots. Once you recover spell slots with this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

10th Level: Nature's Ward

Your bond with the land protects you. You are immune to the Poisoned condition, and you have Resistance to a damage type associated with your current land choice in the Circle Spells feature, as shown in the Nature’s Ward table.

14th Level: Sanctuary of the Land

You can call upon nature to rise up and protect you and your allies. When you use your action to cast a Druid spell with a spell slot, you can immediately use a Bonus Action to cause spectral plant life to appear from the ground in a 20-foot radius centered on you. This plant life moves with you to remain centered on you, and it appears as vegetation associated with your current land choice for your Circle Spells feature; for example, if you chose the Arid land, the plants might be flowering cacti or twisted thorns.

Regardless of its appearance, the plant life lasts for 1 minute or until you have the Incapacitated condition, and it turns its area into difficult terrain for your enemies. In addition, you and your allies have Half Cover while in that area, and your allies gain the current damage resistance of your Nature's Ward while there.

Once you use this Bonus Action, you must finish a Long Rest before you can do so again. You can also restore your use of this feature by expending one use of your Wild Shape (no action required).

Circle of the Moon

Druids of the Circle of the Moon draw on the magic of the moon to transform themselves and to guard the wilds. Their order gathers under the full moon to share news and perform rituals. They wander the deepest parts of the wilderness, where they might go for weeks before crossing paths with another person, let alone another Druid.

3rd Level: Combat Wild Shape

You have learned ancient techniques that allow you to channel the magic of the moon to bolster yourself while using Wild Shape. You gain the following benefits:

• Natural Armor. While in a Wild Shape form, your base Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier, unless your form has a base Armor Class which is already higher without this feature.
• Temporary Hit Points. When you use your Wild Shape to assume a Beast form, you gain Temporary Hit Points equal to the form's average Hit Points or three times your Druid level, whichever is lower. For example, if you are a 5th-level Druid and you transform into a Wolf (11 Hit Points on average), you gain 11 Temporary Hit Points (since three times your Druid level would be more than 11).
• Abjuration Spells. While in a Wild Shape form, you can cast any Abjuration spell from the Druid spell list, except a spell that has a Material component with a specified cost or that consumes its Material component.
• Moonbeam. You always have the Moonbeam spell prepared, and you can cast the spell without Material components while in a Wild Shape form. Moreover, you can move the spell's beam as a Bonus Action, instead of an action, on your turn.

6th Level: Second Skin

Immediately before you take damage, you can use your Reaction to assume a Wild Shape form. You expend a use of your Wild Shape as normal, and you then take the damage against you in your Wild Shape form.

In addition, when you deal damage with an attack while in a Wild Shape form, you can cause it to deal Radiant damage or its normal damage type.

10th Level: Moonlight Step

You magically transport yourself, reappearing amid a burst of moonlight. As a Bonus Action, you can teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see, and you have Advantage on the next attack roll you make before the end of this turn.

If you are concentrating on the Moonbeam spell when you use this feature, you can also move its beam up to 60 feet as part of the same Bonus Action.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. If you have no uses of this feature remaining, you can restore one use of it by expending a spell slot of 2nd level or higher (no action required).

14th Level: Lunar Form

The power of the moon suffuses you, granting you the following benefits:

• Blessing of the Moon. If you start your turn in a Wild Shape form, you can gain Temporary Hit Points equal to half your Druid level (rounded down).
• Guided Strike. If you miss with an attack roll against a target on your turn while in a Wild Shape form, you can immediately use a Bonus Action to reroll the attack against the same target.
• Shared Moonlight. Whenever you use your Moonlight Step, you can also teleport one willing creature within 10 feet of you, causing it to reappear in an unoccupied space you can see within 10 feet of your destination space.

Circle of the Seas

Druids of the Circle of the Seas draw on the tempestuous natural forces of the world’s oceans and storms. Some view themselves as embodiments of nature’s wrath, seeking vengeance against those who despoil the natural world. Others seek mystical unity with nature by attuning themselves to the ebb and flow of the tides, following the rush of currents and waves, and listening to the inscrutable whispers and roars of the winds.

6th Level: Oceanborn

You have a Swim Speed equal to your Speed, and you can breathe underwater. If you use Wild Shape to assume a form that lacks either of these traits, that form gains them.

Additionally, when you finish a Long Rest, you can choose one of the following damage types: Cold, Lightning, or Thunder. You gain Resistance to the chosen damage type until you use this feature to choose a different damage type.

10th Level: Gathering Storm

The power of your Wild Tempest grows in the following ways:

• Stormy Flight. While your aura is active, you have a Fly Speed equal to your Speed and can Hover.
• Thalassic Veil. The 1d8 of your Misty Veil effect becomes 2d8.
• Turbulent Surge. A creature that takes the damage of your Storm Surge gains the Prone condition.

14th Level: Wrath of the Seas

When a creature you can see within your Wild Tempest aura hits a target with an attack roll and deals damage to it, you can cause the attacker or the target (your choice) to also take Lightning damage equal to the number of storm charges within the aura (no action required). You can use this feature only once per turn.

Creating a Fighter

To create a Fighter, consult the information listed below, which provides your Hit Points, Proficiencies, and Armor Training. If you're making a 1st-level character, also consult the "Starting Equipment" section; if you are using the multiclassing rules, see the "Multiclassing and the Fighter" section.

11th Level: Master of Armaments

When you use your Weapon Tactics feature to apply a property to one of the kinds of Mastery weapon you're using, you can also apply the weapon's original Mastery property to the same attack. For example, if you attack with a Longsword and use Weapon Tactics to apply the Topple property, you can also use the Sap property for that attack.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until the start of your next turn.

13th Level: Adaptive Tactics

You masterfully study your opponents and learn from each attack you make. If you make an attack roll against a creature and miss, you have Advantage on the next attack roll you make against the same creature before the end of your next turn.

13th Level: Inexhaustible

You can now use Indomitable twice before finishing a Long Rest.

In addition, when you roll Initiative and have no uses of Second Wind remaining, you regain one expended use of it.

17th Level: Improved Action Surge

You can use Action Surge twice before taking a Short Rest or Long Rest, but no more than once per turn.

17th Level: Unconquerable

You can now use Indomitable three times before finishing a Long Rest.

Additionally, when you are reduced to 0 Hit Points but not killed outright, you can expend a use of your Second Wind to have your Hit Points instead change to a number equal to 1d10 + your Fighter level (no action required).

20th Level: Paragon of Tactics

You have reached the pinnacle of your adventuring career as a Fighter. You gain the following benefits:

• Three Extra Attacks. Your Extra Attack now confers three extra attacks, instead of two.
• Epic Boon. You gain the Epic Boon of Irresistible Offense feat, or another Epic Boon feat of your choice for which you qualify.

Fighter Subclasses

A Fighter subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain levels, as specified in the subclass. This section currently presents four subclasses: the Battle Master, the Brawler, the Champion, and the Eldritch Knight.

Maneuver Options

The Maneuvers are presented here in alphabetical order.

Ambush. When you make a Dexterity (Stealth) check or an initiative roll, you can expend one Superiority Die and add that die to the roll, provided you don’t have the Incapacitated condition.

Bait and Switch. When you’re within 5 feet of a creature on your turn, you can expend one Superiority Die and switch places with that creature, provided you spend at least 5 feet of movement and the creature is willing and doesn’t have the Incapacitated condition. This movement doesn’t provoke Opportunity Attacks. Until the start of your next turn, you or the other creature (your choice) gains a bonus to AC equal to the number you roll on the Superiority Die.

Commander’s Strike. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks to direct one of your companions to strike. When you do so, choose a willing creature who can see or hear you and expend one Superiority Die. That creature can immediately use its Reaction to make one attack with a weapon or an Unarmed Strike, adding the Superiority Die to the attack’s damage roll on a hit.

Commanding Presence. When you make a Charisma (Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion) check, you can expend one Superiority Die and add that die to the ability check.

Disarming Attack. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die to attempt to disarm the target. Add the Superiority Die to the attack’s damage roll. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or it drops one object of your choice that it’s holding, with the object landing in its space.

Distracting Strike. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die to distract the target. Add the Superiority Die to the attack’s damage roll. The next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than you has Advantage if the attack is made before the start of your next turn.

Evasive Footwork. When you move at least 5 feet on your turn, you can expend one Superiority Die and roll it, adding the number rolled on that die to your AC until the end of the turn.

Feinting Attack. As a Bonus Action, you can expend one Superiority Die to feint, choosing one creature within 5 feet of yourself as your target. You have Advantage on your next attack roll against that target on the same turn. If that attack hits, add the Superiority Die to the attack’s damage roll.

Goading Attack. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die to attempt to goad the target into attacking you. Add the Superiority Die to the attack’s damage roll. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or it has Disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn.

Lunging Attack. As a Bonus Action, you can expend one Superiority Die and take the Dash action. If you move at least 10 feet in a straight line immediately before hitting with a melee attack as part of the Attack action on the same turn, you can add the Superiority Die to the attack’s damage roll.

Maneuvering Attack. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die to maneuver one of your comrades into another position. Add the Superiority Die to the attack’s damage roll, and choose a willing creature who can see or hear you. That creature can use its Reaction to move up to half its Speed without provoking an Opportunity Attack from the target of your attack.

Menacing Attack. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die to attempt to frighten the target. Add the Superiority Die to the attack’s damage roll. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or it has the Frightened condition until the end of your next turn.

    Parry. When another creature damages you with a melee attack, you can use your Reaction and expend one Superiority Die to reduce the damage by the number you roll on your Superiority Die + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice).

Precision Attack. When you miss with an attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die and add that die to the attack roll, potentially causing the attack to hit instead.

Pushing Attack. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die to attempt to drive the target back. Add the Superiority Die to the attack’s damage roll. If the target is Large or smaller, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or you push it up to 15 feet straight away from you.

Rally. As a Bonus Action, you can expend one Superiority Die to bolster the resolve of a companion. Choose an ally of yours who can see or hear you. That creature gains Temporary Hit Points equal to the number you roll on the Superiority Die + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (your choice).

Riposte. When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your Reaction and expend one Superiority Die to make a melee attack with a weapon or an Unarmed Strike against the creature. If you hit, add the Superiority Die to the attack’s damage.

Sweeping Attack. When you hit a creature with a melee attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die to attempt to damage another creature. Choose another creature within 5 feet of the original target and within your reach. If the original attack roll would hit the second creature, it takes damage equal to the number you roll on the Superiority Die. The damage is of the same type dealt by the original attack.

Tactical Assessment. When you make an Intelligence (History or Investigation) check or a Wisdom (Insight) check, you can expend one Superiority Die and add that die to the ability check.

Trip Attack. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die and add that die to the attack’s damage roll. If the target is Large or smaller, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or it has the Prone condition.

Brawler

Brawlers focus their training and study not on swordplay and battle tactics, but on the skills needed to turn a punch or kick into a brutal strike and any innocuous object into a deadly weapon. Some Brawlers thrive in tavern scuffles and street rumbles, while others excel in espionage, wielding ordinary objects with the deadliness of an assassin’s knife.

3rd Level: Brawling Prowess

You gain proficiency with Improvised Weapons, and your Unarmed Strike counts as a Simple weapon with the Finesse property when you make a melee attack with it.

In addition, you can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strikes and attacks using Improvised Weapons. If you make an Unarmed Strike while you aren't holding any weapons or a Shield, or if you attack with a two-handed Improvised Weapon, the d6 becomes a d8.

Finally, you can make one Unarmed Strike as a Bonus Action on your turn. When you make an Unarmed Strike in this way, you must choose the Grapple or Shove option.

3rd Level: Weapon Improvisation

Whenever you finish a Long Rest, choose one weapon property from each of the following lists:

• One-Handed: Finesse, Light, or Thrown (Range 20/60)
• Two-Handed: Heavy, Reach, or Thrown (Range 10/30)

Until the end of your next Long Rest, the One-Handed choice applies to the one-handed Improvised Weapons you wield, and the Two-Handed choice applies to the two-handed Improvised Weapons you wield.

In addition, whenever you make an Unarmed Strike or an attack using an Improvised Weapon, you can apply any Mastery property for which that Unarmed Strike or weapon qualifies, or you can apply the Sap property (your choice for each attack). For example, if you attack with a one-handed Improvised Weapon that has the Finesse property, you can use one of the following Mastery properties for that attack: Sap, Slow, or Vex.

7th Level: Close-Quarters Fighting

You have trained to triumph in all manner of fights, including those in cramped quarters. You gain the following benefits:

• Clutch Hold. At the start of each of your turns, you can deal 1d6 Bludgeoning damage to one creature Grappled by you, and that creature becomes unable to breathe or speak until the end of your next turn.
• Improvised Block. When a creature you can see deals damage to you with an attack while you are holding an Improvised Weapon, you can use your Reaction to reduce that damage by 1d10 + your Fighter level. You can take this Reaction a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

10th Level: Improvisation Expert

The d6 and d8 of your Brawling Prowess feature become a d8 and d10, respectively.

In addition, you gain the following benefits:

• Dirty Fighting. You have Advantage on attack rolls made with Improvised Weapons and Unarmed Strikes against any creature Grappled by you.
• Weapon Adaptability. You can choose two weapon properties, instead of one, from each list of your Weapon Improvisation feature when you finish a Long Rest.

15th Level: Almighty Brawler

Whenever you hit a creature with an attack using an Improvised Weapon, you can add your Proficiency Bonus to the attack's damage roll.

    In addition, while you have a creature Grappled, you have Half Cover and can use that creature as an Improvised Weapon. When you hit with an attack using a creature as an Improvised Weapon for the first time on a turn, that creature takes 1d10 Bludgeoning damage.

18th Level: Improvisation Master

The d8 and d10 of your Brawling Prowess feature become a d10 and d12, respectively.

In addition, when a creature you can see misses you with an attack, you can use your Reaction to make one attack with an Unarmed Strike or Improvised Weapon against that creature, and you have Advantage on the attack roll.

Champion

A Champion focuses on the development of martial prowess in a relentless pursuit of victory. Champions combine rigorous training with physical excellence to deal devastating blows, withstand peril, and garner glory. Whether in athletic contests or bloody battle, Champions strive for the crown of the victor.

Eldritch Knight

Eldritch Knights combine the martial mastery common to all Fighters with a careful study of magic. Their spells both complement and extend their combat skills, providing additional protection to shore up their armor and also allowing them to engage many foes at once with explosive magic.

Creating a Monk

To create a Monk, consult the information listed below, which provides your Hit Points, Proficiencies, and Armor Training. If you're making a 1st-level character, also consult the "Starting Equipment" section; if you are using the multiclassing rules, see the "Multiclassing and the Monk" section.

Once you have noted your starting abilities as a Monk, consult the Monk table above to see the class features you get at each level in this class. Descriptions for those features appear in the "Monk Class Features" section.

Monk Class Features

As a Monk, you gain the following class features when you reach the specified levels in this class. These features are listed in the Monk class table.

Inner Focus

If you have no Spirit Points remaining on your turn, you can use a Bonus Action to draw upon your reserves of energy and regain a number of expended Spirit Points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1 Spirit Point). Once you take this Bonus Action, you can't do so again until you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest.

Step of the Wind

On your turn, you can take one of the following actions — or spend 1 Spirit Point to take two of them — as a Bonus Action: Dash, Disengage, or Dodge.

2nd Level: Unarmored Movement

Your Speed increases by 10 feet when you aren't wearing any Armor or wielding a Shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain Monk levels, as shown in the Unarmored Movement column of the Monk table.

3rd Level: Monk Subclass

You gain a Monk subclass of your choice, the options for which are listed in the "Monk Subclasses" section after this class's description.

A subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain Monk levels. For the rest of your adventuring career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Monk level and lower.

3rd Level: Martial Disciplines

In your continuing study of advanced martial arts, you have developed special techniques known as Martial Disciplines. You gain three Martial Discipline options of your choice from the "Martial Discipline Options" section later in this class's description. You can't pick the same discipline more than once unless a discipline's description says otherwise.

If a discipline has a prerequisite, you must meet it to learn that discipline, and you can learn the discipline at the same time that you meet its prerequisite. For example, if a discipline requires you to be a 6th-level Monk, you can select the discipline once you reach 6th level in this class.

When you gain certain Monk levels, you gain more disciplines of your choice, as shown in the Disciplines Known column of the Monk table.

Additionally, whenever you gain a Monk level, you can choose one of the disciplines you know and replace it with another discipline for which you qualify.

4th Level: Feat

You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat, or another feat of your choice for which you qualify.

You gain this feature again when you reach 8th, 10th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level in this class, as shown on the Monk table.

4th Level: Slow Fall

When you fall, you can use your Reaction to reduce the damage you take from the fall by an amount equal to five times your Monk level.

5th Level: Extra Attack

You can attack twice, instead of once, when you take the Attack action on your turn.

5th Level: Spirit Strike

Whenever you deal damage with your Unarmed Strike, you can cause it to deal Force damage or its normal damage type.

Additionally, when you hit a creature with an Unarmed Strike or Monk weapon, you can attempt a dazing strike — or spend 1 Spirit Point to attempt a stunning strike — if you have at least 1 Spirit Point available. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or it has the Dazed (if you attempted a dazing strike) or Stunned (if you attempted a stunning strike) condition until the start of your next turn. Regardless of the strike you attempt, you can use this ability no more than once per turn.

7th Level: Evasion

You can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain dangers. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw and only half damage if you fail. You can’t use this feature if you have the Incapacitated condition.

9th Level: Stillness of Mind

Through sheer force of will, you can use a Bonus Action to remove one of the following conditions from yourself: Charmed, Frightened, or Poisoned.

In addition, forgoing food or drink doesn't cause you to gain any levels of Exhaustion.

11th Level: Agile Reflexes

You gain a second Reaction that you can use each round. This additional Reaction can be used only for Opportunity Attacks and the Reaction options granted by your Monk features, and you can't take both Reactions during the same turn.

13th Level: Improved Spirit Strike

When you use Spirit Strike to attempt a dazing or stunning strike, you can spend 1 Spirit Point to impose Disadvantage on the target's Constitution saving throw against that attempt.

14th Level: Diamond Soul

Your physical and mental resilience grant you proficiency in all saving throws.

Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 Spirit Point (no action required) to reroll the saving throw, and you must use the new roll.

17th Level: Perfect Self

If you spend 1 Spirit Point or more during your turn, you regain 1 Spirit Point when your turn ends.

18th Level: Supreme Discipline

As a Bonus Action, you can spend 3 Spirit Points to bolster yourself against harm for 1 minute or until you have the Incapacitated condition. During that time, you have Resistance to all damage except Force damage.

20th Level: Spirit Paragon

You have reached the pinnacle of your adventuring career as a Monk. You gain the following benefits:

• Transcendence. Your Dexterity and Wisdom scores increase by 4, as does your maximum for those scores.
• Epic Boon. You gain the Epic Boon of Irresistible Offense feat or another Epic Boon feat of your choice for which you qualify.

The following options are available to you with your Martial Disciplines feature. The options are presented in alphabetical order.

Fierce Technique

Focused Aim

Prerequisite: 6th-level Monk

When you fail an ability check using Constitution, Intelligence, or Wisdom, you can spend 1 Spirit Point to roll your Martial Arts die once and add the number rolled to the check, potentially turning it into a success.

Additionally, you no longer need to sleep and can't be forced to sleep by any means. To gain the benefits of a Long Rest, you can spend up to 4 hours doing light activity if you spend the rest of your time in meditation, during which you are conscious and aware of your surroundings.

One with Everything

Prerequisite: 9th-level Monk

By spending 10 minutes in focused meditation, you can spend 1 Spirit Point to cast the Locate Object spell or 2 Spirit Points to cast the Locate Creature spell (your choice). When you cast either spell in this way, you cast it without expending a spell slot or requiring spell components, and Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it.

Spirit Attunement

Prerequisite: None

While you have at least 1 Spirit Point remaining, you can cast the Detect Magic spell without expending a spell slot or requiring spell components. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for the spell.

Your spirit form resembles your mortal form and replicates your game statistics (but not your possessions), and any damage or effects that apply to your spirit or physical body also apply to the other. Your spirit can remain outside your body for up to 1 hour or until your Concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). When the projection ends, your spirit returns to your body.

While projecting your spirit, you have a Flying Speed equal to your Speed and can Hover. You can move through creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 Force damage if you end your turn inside a creature or an object.

Once on each of your turns when you make a high or long jump, you can extend the jump's distance by a number of feet equal to the bonus of your Unarmored Movement for your level, as shown on the Monk table; this extra distance doesn't cost movement.

Whirlwind Strike

Prerequisite: 13th-level Monk

When a creature provokes an Opportunity Attack from you, you can make two Unarmed Strikes, instead of one melee attack, against the provoking creature with your Reaction.

Monk Subclasses

A Monk subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain levels, as specified in the subclass. This section currently presents four subclasses: the Way of Mercy, the Way of Shadow, the Way of the Four Elements, and the Way of the Open Hand.

15th Level: Cloak of Shadows

As a Bonus Action while entirely within Dim Light or Darkness, you can spend 3 Spirit Points to shroud yourself with magical darkness for 1 minute, until you have the Incapacitated condition, or until you end your turn in Bright Light. While shrouded in darkness, you gain the following benefits:

• Invisibility. You have the Invisible condition.
• Partially Incorporeal. You can move through objects and other creatures as if you were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 Force damage if you end your turn inside an object or another creature.
• Shadow Duplicates. Whenever you make a melee attack on your turn, your reach for the attack is 30 feet ─ or 60 feet if the target is entirely within Dim Light or Darkness ─ if it isn't already greater, as you summon a shadowy duplicate to perform the attack for you.

Way of the Four Elements

The tradition of the Four Elements encompasses Monks who tap into the power of the Elemental Planes through their practice of martial arts. Some of these Monks focus on a single element, learning to wreathe their fists in fire and cause explosive bursts of flame, or to wield mighty gusts of icy wind. Others weave the elements together and learn a variety of techniques to harness the appropriate elemental force for each particular circumstance.

Way of the Open Hand

Monks of the Way of the Open Hand are the ultimate masters of martial arts combat, whether armed or unarmed. They learn techniques to push and trip their opponents, manipulate their inner energy to heal damage to their bodies, and practice advanced meditation that allows them to exploit any opening in their foe.

3rd Level: Weapon Adept

You have trained to use your favored weapons in unconventional ways. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can choose one weapon property from each of the following lists:

• One-Handed: Light or Thrown (Range 20/60)
• Two-Handed: Reach or Thrown (Range 10/30)

Until the end of your next Long Rest, the One-Handed choice applies to the one-handed Monk weapons you wield, and the Two-Handed choice applies to the two-handed Monk weapons you wield (which includes Versatile weapons while you wield them two-handed). These benefits apply only for you, not for others, and only while you are wielding only Monk weapons.

3rd Level: Open Hand Technique

When you use your Flurry of Blows, you gain the following benefit until the start of your next turn: whenever you hit a creature with an Unarmed Strike and deal damage to it, you can impose one of the following effects on that creature:

• Addle. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or it can’t make Opportunity Attacks until the end of your next turn.
• Push. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or you push it up to 15 feet away from yourself.
• Topple. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, or it has the Prone condition.

6th Level: Wholeness of Body

You gain the ability to heal yourself. As a Bonus Action, you can regain a number of Hit Points equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + half your Monk level.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

11th Level: Pinpoint Strike

You have trained to directly attack a foe's pressure points with devastating precision. Whenever you score a critical hit with an attack using an Unarmed Strike or a Monk weapon, the attack deals extra damage equal to your Monk level. This damage is of the same type used by the Unarmed Strike or Monk weapon.

15th Level: Quivering Palm

You gain the ability to set up lethal vibrations in someone’s body. When you hit a creature with an Unarmed Strike, you can spend 3 Spirit Points to start these imperceptible vibrations, which last for a number of days equal to your Monk level. The vibrations are harmless unless you use your action to end them. To do so, you and the target must be on the same plane of existence. When you use this action, the target must make a Constitution saving throw against your Spirit DC. On a failed save, the target drops to 0 Hit Points, and on a successful save, the target takes Force damage equal to three times your Monk level.

You can have only one creature under the effect of this feature at a time. You can end the vibrations harmlessly at any time (no action required), provided you don't have the Incapacitated condition.

As a Paladin, you gain the following class features when you reach the specified levels in this class. These features are listed in the Paladin class table.

Divine Sense

As a Bonus Action, you can open your awareness to detect Celestials, Fiends, and Undead. For the next 10 minutes or until you have the Incapacitated condition, you know the location of any creature of those types within 60 feet of yourself, and you know its creature type. 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.

4th Level: Feat

You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat, or another feat of your choice for which you qualify.

You gain this feature again when you reach 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level in this class, as shown on the Paladin table.

5th Level: Extra Attack

You can attack twice, instead of once, when you take the Attack action on your turn.

5th Level: Faithful Steed

You can easily call on the aid of an otherworldly steed. You always have the Find Steed spell prepared.

6th Level: Aura of Protection

You radiate a protective, invisible aura that extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but it doesn’t extend through Total Cover. The aura is inactive while you have the Incapacitated condition.

You and your allies in the aura gain a bonus to saving throws equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum bonus of +1).

If another Paladin is present, a creature can benefit from only one Aura of Protection at a time; the creature chooses which one when entering the area of multiple auras.

9th Level: Divine Censure

As a Magic action, you can expend one use of your Invoke Faith to overwhelm foes with divine awe. As you present your Holy Symbol or weapon, you can target a number of creatures equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature) that you can see within 60 feet of yourself.

Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have the Dazed and Frightened conditions for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

10th Level: Aura of Courage

You and your allies are immune to the Frightened condition while in your Aura of Protection. If a Frightened ally enters the aura, that condition has no effect on that ally while within the aura.

11th Level: Radiant Strikes

You are so suffused with divine might that your weapon strikes carry supernatural power with them. When you hit a target with an attack roll using a melee weapon or an Unarmed Strike, the target takes an extra 1d8 Radiant damage.

14th Level: Restoring Touch

When you use Lay on Hands on a creature, you can also remove one or more of the following conditions from the creature: Blinded, Charmed, Dazed, Deafened, Frightened, Paralyzed, or Stunned. You must spend 5 Hit Points from the healing pool of Lay on Hands for each of these conditions you remove; those points don’t also restore Hit Points to the creature.

15th Level: Greater Steed

Whenever you cast the Find Steed spell, the spell is always produced at 4th level unless its effective level for that casting is already higher.

17th Level: Aura Expansion

Your Aura of Protection now extends 30 feet from you, rather than 10 feet.

20th Level: Paragon of Faith

You have reached the pinnacle of your adventuring career as a Paladin. You gain the following benefits:

• Empowered Smite. Whenever you cast any of your Paladin's Smite spells, you can increase the spell's effective level by 1. For example, if you cast the Divine Smite spell using a 4th-level spell slot, the spell's effect is produced at 5th level.
• Epic Boon. You gain the Epic Boon of Truesight feat or another Epic Boon feat of your choice for which you qualify.

Paladin Subclasses

A Paladin subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain levels, as specified in the subclass. This section currently presents four subclasses: the Oath of Devotion, the Oath of Glory, the Oath of the Ancients, and the Oath of Vengeance.

3rd Level: Oath Spells

The magic of your oath ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Paladin level specified in the Oath of Devotion Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

3rd Level: Sacred Weapon

As a Bonus Action, you can expend one use of your Invoke Faith to imbue one melee weapon that you are holding with positive energy. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls you make with that weapon (minimum bonus of +1), and each time you hit with it, you cause it to deal its normal damage type or Radiant damage.

The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that.

You can end this effect as a Bonus Action. This effect also ends if you aren’t holding or carrying the weapon or if you have the Incapacitated condition.

3rd Level: Nurturing Hand

When you use your Lay on Hands to restore Hit Points to a creature that has the Incapacitated condition, that creature regains twice as many Hit Points as normal (this doesn't cost additional Hit Points from your pool of healing).

7th Level: Aura of Devotion

You and your allies are immune to the Charmed condition while in your Aura of Protection. If a Charmed ally enters the aura, that condition has no effect on that ally while the ally is there.

13th Level: Smite of Protection

Your magical smites now radiate protective energy. Whenever you cast any of your Paladin’s Smite spells, you and your allies in your Aura of Protection have Half Cover until the start of your next turn.

18th Level: Holy Nimbus

As a Bonus Action, you can imbue your Aura of Protection with holy power, granting the following benefits for 1 minute or until you end them as a Bonus Action:

• Holy Ward. You have Advantage on any saving throw you are forced to make by a Fiend or an Undead.
• Radiant Damage. Whenever an enemy starts its turn in the aura, that creature takes Radiant damage equal to half your Paladin level.
• Sunlight. The aura is filled with bright light that is sunlight.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of this feature by expending a 5th-level spell slot (no action required).

Oath of Glory

Paladins who take the Oath of Glory believe they and their companions are destined to achieve glory through deeds of heroism. They train diligently and encourage their companions so they’re all ready when destiny calls.

18th Level: Living Legend

You can empower yourself with the legends — whether true or exaggerated — of your great deeds. As a Bonus Action, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• Charismatic. You are blessed with an otherworldly presence, gaining Advantage on all Charisma checks.
• Steadfast. If you fail a saving throw, you can use your Reaction to reroll it, and you must use the new roll.
• Unerring Strike. Once on each of your turns when you make an attack roll with a weapon and miss, you can cause that attack to hit instead.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of this feature by expending a 5th-level spell slot (no action required).

Oath of the Ancients

The Oath of the Ancients is as old as the first elves and the rituals of Druids. Paladins who swear this oath cherish the light; they love the beautiful and life-giving things of the world more than any principles of honor, courage, and justice. They adorn their armor and clothing with images of growing things — leaves, antlers, or flowers — to reflect their commitment to preserving life and light in the world.

Oath of Vengeance

The Oath of Vengeance is a solemn commitment to punish those who have committed grievously evil acts. When evil armies slaughter helpless villagers, when a tyrant defies the will of the gods, when a thieves’ guild grows too violent and powerful, when a dragon rampages through the countryside — at times like these, paladins arise and swear an Oath of Vengeance to set right what has gone wrong.

3rd Level: Favored Foe

Choose any two creature types, except Humanoid. You have Advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track creatures of either chosen type, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.

3rd Level: Vow of Enmity

As a Bonus Action, you can expend one use of your Invoke Faith to utter a vow of enmity against a creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself. You gain Advantage on attack rolls against the creature for 1 minute.

If the creature drops to 0 Hit Points before the vow ends, you can transfer the vow to a different creature within 30 feet of yourself (no action required). You can make this transfer no more than once per turn.

7th Level: Relentless Avenger

Your supernatural focus helps you close off a foe’s retreat. When you hit a creature with an Opportunity Attack, you can reduce the creature’s Speed to 0, and you can then move up to half your Speed as part of the same Reaction. This movement doesn’t provoke Opportunity Attacks.

13th Level: Soul of Vengeance

Immediately after a creature under the effect of your Vow of Enmity hits or misses with an attack, you can use your Reaction to make a melee attack against that creature if it is within range.

18th Level: Avenging Angel

As a Bonus Action, you can imbue yourself with the divine fury of righteousness, gaining the following benefits for 10 minutes or until you end them as a Bonus Action:

• Flight. You sprout spectral wings on your back. You gain a Fly Speed equal to your Speed and can Hover.
• Frightful Aura. Whenever an enemy starts its turn in your Aura of Protection, that creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have the Frightened condition for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. Attack rolls against the Frightened creature have Advantage.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of this feature by expending a 5th-level spell slot (no action required).

Creating a Ranger

To create a Ranger, consult the following lists, which provide Hit Points, proficiencies, and armor training. If you're making a character at 1st level, also consult the "Starting Equipment" section, and if you're using the multiclassing rules, see the "Multiclassing and the Ranger" sidebar.

Then look at the Ranger table to see the class features you get at each level in this class. Descriptions of those features appear in the "Ranger Class Features" section.

3rd Level: Nature's Aid

You can tap into the mystical power of nature to create various magical effects. You start with two such effects: Primal Bloom and Wild Hazard, each of which is described below. Each time you use your Nature's Aid, you choose which effect to create.

You can use Nature's Aid twice. You regain one expended use when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You gain additional uses when you reach certain Ranger levels, as shown in the Nature's Aid column of the Ranger table.

If a Nature's Aid effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals the Spell Save DC from this class's Spellcasting feature.

4th Level: Feat

You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat, or another feat of your choice for which you qualify.

You gain this feature again when you reach 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level in this class, as shown on the Ranger table.

4th Level: Favored Terrain

Your mystical bond with nature inures you to the extremes of certain climates. Choose one of the terrain types from your Deft Explorer feature to be your favored terrain. Based on your choice, you gain one of the following benefits:

• Arctic. You naturally adapt to cold climates and resist the effects of extreme cold, even if you are not native to such an environment.
• Coast. You can hold your breath for up to 10 minutes at a time.
• Desert. You naturally adapt to hot climates and resist the effects of extreme heat, even if you are not native to such an environment.
• Forest. You can pass through nonmagical plant-life without taking damage from it if it has thorns, spines, or a similar hazard.
• Grassland. Traveling at a fast pace doesn't impose the normal -5 penalty on your passive Wisdom (Perception) score.
• Mountain. You naturally acclimate to high altitudes, including elevations above 20,000 feet, even if you are not native to such an environment.
• Swamp. When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
• Underdark. Dim light doesn't impose Disadvantage on your Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace a favored terrain with a different type of terrain you chose for your Deft Explorer feature.

You can attack twice, instead of once, when you take the Attack action on your turn.

You have trained to seamlessly blend into your surroundings, gaining the following benefits:

• Fast Hiding. You can take the Hide action as a Bonus Action on your turn.
• Natural Camouflage. You can spend 1 minute creating camouflage for yourself. You must have access to naturally occurring materials — such as fresh mud, plants, soot, or snow — with which to create your camouflage, and the camouflage must be suitable for your current environment. While you are camouflaged suitably for your surroundings, you can conceal yourself with the Hide action without needing to be obscured or behind cover if you press yourself against a solid surface, such as a tree or wall, that is at least as wide and tall as you are.

9th Level: Canny Explorer

Choose one of your proficiencies in a skill that appears on the Ranger skill list. You gain Expertise in that skill.

15th Level: Nature's Boon

Your Nature's Aid effects grow stronger in the following ways:

• Primal Bloom. When you use this effect, you can choose one creature within the sphere's area. That creature treats the dice rolled to determine the Hit Points it regains from this effect as having rolled their maximum value for it.
• Wild Hazard. Your trap can be triggered up to three times before disappearing. Each time the trap triggers, you must move the trap before it can be triggered again.

17th Level: Instant Quarry

Once on each of your turns when hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cast the Hunter's Mark spell on that creature, without expending a spell slot, as part of that attack. When you cast Hunter's Mark in this way, the spell ends if you cast it again.

18th Level: Feral Senses

Your connection to primal forces grants you Blindsight with a range of 30 feet.

20th Level: Paragon of the Wild

You have reached the pinnacle of your adventuring career as a Ranger. You gain the following benefits:

Moreover, whenever you hit the target of your Hunter's Mark with an attack roll and deal damage to it, you can add your Wisdom modifier to that attack's damage roll.
• Epic Boon. You gain the Epic Boon of Fortitude feat or another Epic Boon feat of your choice for which you qualify.

Ranger Subclasses

A Ranger subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain levels, as specified in the subclass. This section currently presents four subclasses: the Beast Master, the Gloom Stalker, the Swarm Keeper, and the Wild Hunter.

7th Level: Exceptional Training

When you use your Bonus Action to command your Primal Companion beast to take an action, you can also command it to take the Dash, Disengage, Dodge, or Help action as a Bonus Action.

In addition, whenever the beast hits with an attack and deals damage, it can deal your choice of Force damage or its normal damage type.

11th Level: Bestial Fury

When you summon your Primal Companion, you can increase its Size depending on the type of beast you summon: to Large (Beast of the Land or Beast of the Sea), or to Medium (Beast of the Sky).

In addition, your Primal Companion can make two attacks, instead of one, when you command the beast to take the Attack action.

14th Level: Share Spells

When you cast a Ranger spell that targets you, you can also affect your Primal Companion with the spell for that casting if the beast is within 30 feet of you.

Gloom Stalker

Gloom Stalkers are at home in the darkest places, wielding magic drawn from the Shadowfell to combat enemies that lurk in darkness.

Swarm Keeper

Feeling a deep connection to the environment around them, some rangers reach out through their magical connection to the world and bond with a swarm of nature spirits. Some Swarm Keepers are outcasts or hermits, keeping to themselves and their attendant swarms rather than dealing with the discomfort of others. Other Swarm Keepers enjoy building vibrant communities that work for the mutual benefit of all those they consider part of their swarm.

3rd Level: Hand of the Swarm

You know the Mage Hand cantrip. The spell functions as a Ranger spell for you, Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it, and its spectral hand takes the form of your swarming nature spirits. Moreover, once on each of your turns for the spell's duration, you can control the swarming spirits as part of any other action.

3rd Level: Gathered Swarm

Once on each of your turns, immediately after you hit a creature with an attack, you can cause your swarm to create one of the following effects of your choice:

• Swarming Shield. You have Half Cover until the start of your next turn. This benefit ends early immediately after you take damage.

7th Level: Writhing Tide

You can condense part of your swarm into a focused mass that aids your movement. You can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings while leaving your hands free, without needing to make an ability check.

In addition, you can use a Bonus Action to gain a Fly Speed of 20 feet, with which you can Hover, for 1 minute or until you have the Incapacitated condition. You can take this Bonus Action a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

11th Level: Mighty Swarm

Your swarm grows more powerful, as does your control over its abilities. If you miss with an attack roll against a creature you can see that is within 5 feet of the swarming spirits of your Mage Hand spell, you can deal Piercing damage to that creature equal to your Wisdom modifier.

In addition, the effects of your Gathered Swarm improve in the following ways:

• Crawling Mass. When a creature fails its saving throw against this effect, you can give that creature the Poisoned condition until the start of your next turn.
• Piercing Bite. The attack's target cannot regain Hit Points until the start of your next turn.
• Swarming Shield. This effect's benefit lasts for its full duration, whether or not you take damage.

14th Level: Swarming Dispersal

You can discorporate into your swarm, avoiding danger. When you take damage, you can use your Reaction to give yourself Resistance to that damage. You vanish into your swarm and then teleport to an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you, where you reappear with the swarm.

Immediately after you teleport, every creature of your choice within 10 feet of the space you left must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d8 Piercing damage and has the Blinded condition until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't Blinded.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest. You can also restore your use of this feature by expending a spell slot of 4th level or higher (no action required).

Wild Hunter

As a Wild Hunter, you act as a bulwark between civilization and the terrors of the wilderness. As you walk the Wild Hunter's path, you learn specialized techniques for fighting the threats you face, from rampaging ogres and hordes of orcs to towering giants and terrifying dragons.

7th Level: Defensive Tactics

Your keen senses allow you to avoid the worst of harms. You gain one of the following feature options of your choice:

• Evasion. When you are subjected to an effect that lets you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw and only half damage if you fail. You can’t use this feature if you have the Incapacitated condition.
• Hunter’s Leap. If an enemy you can see enters a space within 5 feet of you or ends its turn there, you can use your Reaction to move up to half your Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.
• Uncanny Dodge. When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can use your Reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you (rounded down).

Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can practice defensive maneuvers and replace your chosen option for this feature with a different one.

11th Level: Multiattack

Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can choose any number of other creatures you can see within 10 feet of the original target. If the original attack roll would hit a chosen creature, that creature takes damage equal to 1d8 + your Proficiency Bonus. This damage is of the same type as the weapon.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest.

14th Level: Hunter's Counter

If a creature marked by your Hunter's Mark spell forces you to make a saving throw, you can use your Reaction to make one weapon attack against that creature. You make this attack immediately before making the saving throw, and if the attack hits, you automatically succeed on the triggering saving throw, in addition to the attack's normal effects.

Other Sorcerer features give you additional Metamagic options when you reach certain levels in this class.

You can use only one Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it, unless otherwise noted in one of those options.

Whenever you gain a Sorcerer level, you can replace one of your Metamagic options with one you don’t know.

3rd Level: Sorcerer Subclass

You gain a Sorcerer subclass of your choice, the options for which are listed in the "Sorcerer Subclasses" section after this class's description.

A subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain Sorcerer levels. For the rest of your adventuring career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Sorcerer level and lower.

4th Level: Feat

You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat, or another feat of your choice for which you qualify.

You gain this feature again when you reach 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level in this class, as shown on the Sorcerer table.

5th Level: Sorcerous Restoration

When you finish a Short Rest, you can regain a number of expended Sorcery Points equal to one-third your Sorcerer level (rounded up). Once you regain Sorcery Points in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

Additionally, while you have no uses of your Innate Sorcery remaining, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to regain one use of that feature (no action required).

7th Level: Metamagic Adept

You gain greater mastery of the magic that flows within you. You gain two additional Metamagic options of your choice.

In addition, while your Innate Sorcery feature is active, you can use up to two of your Metamagic options on each spell you cast.

10th Level: Sorcerous Vitality

As a Bonus Action, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to expend one of your Hit Dice and roll it. You regain Hit Points equal to the number rolled + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 Hit Point), and you can also remove one of the following conditions from yourself: Blinded, Deafened, or Poisoned.

14th Level: Metamagic Expert

You gain two additional Metamagic options of your choice.

Additionally, when you activate your Innate Sorcery feature, you can use one Metamagic option on the same turn without spending Sorcery Points on it.

15th Level: Sorcerous Reclamation

When you roll Initiative and have no more than 3 Sorcery Points remaining, you regain 3 expended Sorcery Points.

20th Level: Sorcerous Paragon

You have reached the pinnacle of your adventuring career as a Sorcerer. You gain the following benefits:

• Arcane Apotheosis. While your Innate Sorcery feature is active, you can use one Metamagic option on each of your turns without spending Sorcery Points on it.
• Epic Boon. You gain the Epic Boon of Fate feat, or another Epic Boon feat of your choice for which you qualify.

Metamagic Options

The following options are available to your Metamagic features. The options are presented in alphabetical order.

Heightened Spell

Cost: 2 Sorcery Point

When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to give one target of the spell Disadvantage on its saving throws against the spell.

Quickened Spell

Cost: 2 Sorcery Point

When you cast a spell that has a casting time of an action, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to change the casting time to a Bonus Action for this casting. You can’t modify a spell in this way if you’ve already cast a spell of 1st level or higher on the current turn, nor can you cast a spell of 1st level or higher on this turn after modifying a spell in this way.

Seeking Spell

Cost: 1 Sorcery Point

If you make an attack roll for a spell and miss, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to reroll the d20, and you must use the new roll.

You can use Seeking Spell even if you have already used a different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell.

Subtle Spell

Cost: 1 Sorcery Point

When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to cast it without any Verbal, Somatic, or Material components, except Material components that are consumed by the spell or that have a cost specified in the spell.

Transmuted Spell

Cost: 1 Sorcery Point

When you cast a spell that deals a type of damage from the following list, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to change that damage type to one of the other listed types: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, or Thunder. If the spell deals damage of multiple types, you can change only one of them.

Twinned Spell

Cost: 1 Sorcery Point

When you cast a spell, such as Charm Person or Hold Person, that can be cast with a higher-level spell slot to target an additional creature, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to increase the spell’s effective level by 1.

Sorcerer Subclasses

A Sorcerer subclass is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain levels, as specified in the subclass. This section currently presents four subclasses: Aberrant Sorcery, Clockwork Sorcery, Draconic Sorcery, and Wild Magic Sorcery.

11th Level: Revelation in Flesh

You have learned to manifest the aberrant truth hidden within yourself. As a Bonus Action, you can spend 1 to 4 Sorcery Points to magically transform your body for 10 minutes. For each Sorcery Point you spend in this way, you gain one of the following benefits of your choice, the effects of which remain until your transformation ends:

• Aberrant Flight. You gain a Fly Speed equal to your Speed and can Hover.
• Aquatic Adaptation. You gain a Swim Speed equal to twice your Speed, and you can breathe underwater.
• Pliant Body. Your body, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, becomes slimy and pliable. You can move through any space as narrow as 1 inch without squeezing, and you can spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints or a creature that has you Grappled.
• Psionic Sight. You can see any creature within 60 feet of you that has the Invisible condition, provided it isn't behind Total Cover.

When you transform, your physical body changes to accommodate your chosen benefits. For example, if you choose Aberrant Flight, your skin might glisten with mucus or shine with an otherworldly light.

18th Level: Warping Implosion

You can unleash your aberrant power as a space-warping anomaly. As a Magic action, you can teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 120 feet of yourself. When you take this action, you can also teleport up to five willing creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you, causing them to reappear in unoccupied spaces you can see within 10 feet of your destination space.

Immediately after you teleport, each creature within 30 feet of the space you left must make a Strength saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d12 Force damage and is pulled straight towards the space you left, ending in an unoccupied space as close to it as possible. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't pulled.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of this feature by spending 7 Sorcery Points (no action required).

Clockwork Sorcery

The cosmic force of order has suffused you with magic. That power arises from Mechanus or a realm like it — a plane of existence shaped entirely by clockwork efficiency. You, or someone from your lineage, might have become entangled in the machinations of the modrons, the orderly beings who inhabit Mechanus. Perhaps your ancestor even took part in the Great Modron March. Whatever its origin within you, the power of order can seem strange to others, but for you, it is part of a vast and glorious system.

18th Level: Clockwork Cavalcade

You gain the power summon spirits of order to expunge disorder around you. As a Magic action, you can summon the spirits in a 30-foot cube originating from you. The spirits assume the form of modrons or other Constructs of your choice, and they create any number of the following effects of your choice before vanishing:

• Concordant Recovery. The spirits restore up to 100 Hit Points, divided however you choose among any number of creatures of your choice in the cube.
• Flawless Repair. Any damaged objects entirely within the cube are instantly and completely repaired.
• Orderly Erasure. Every spell of 6th level or lower ends on creatures and objects of your choice within the cube.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of this feature by spending 7 Sorcery Points (no action required).

Draconic Sorcery

Your innate magic comes from the gift of a dragon. Perhaps an ancient dragon facing death bequeathed some of its magical power to you or your ancestor. You might have absorbed magic from a site infused with dragons’ power, perhaps the location where a great dragon was slain. Or perhaps you handled a treasure taken from a dragon’s hoard, some precious item that was infused with draconic power. Or you might claim a dragon for an ancestor or wield draconic magic by virtue of your Dragonborn heritage.

Wild Magic Sorcery

Your innate magic stems from the forces of chaos that underlie the order of creation. You or an ancestor might have endured exposure to raw magic, perhaps through a planar portal leading to Limbo or the Elemental Planes. Perhaps you were blessed by a fey being or marked by a demon. Or your magic could be a fluke with no apparent cause. However it came to be, this magic churns within you, waiting for any outlet.

3rd Level: Wild Magic Surge

Your spellcasting can unleash surges of untamed magic. Immediately after you cast a Sorcerer spell with a spell slot, you can roll a d20. If you roll a 20, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table below to create a magical effect. You can roll this d20 no more than once per turn.

If the magical effect is a spell, it functions as a Sorcerer spell for you but is too wild to be affected by your Metamagic, and if it normally requires Concentration, it doesn’t require Concentration in this case; the spell instead lasts for its full duration.

3rd Level: Tides of Chaos

You can manipulate the forces of chance and chaos to gain Advantage on one d20 Test when you make it. Once you do so, you must finish a Long Rest before you can use this feature again.

When you roll the d20 for your Wild Magic Surge feature while you have no uses of this feature remaining, you can turn the roll into a 20 and immediately regain your use of this feature.

6th Level: Bend Luck

You have the ability to twist fate using your wild magic. Immediately after another creature you can see rolls the d20 for a d20 Test, you can use your Reaction and spend 1 Sorcery Point to roll 1d4 and apply the number rolled as a bonus or penalty (your choice) to the creature’s roll.

6th Level: Chaotic Spell

When you cast a Sorcerer spell that requires a target to make a saving throw, you can spend 2 Sorcery Points to choose one of the spell's targets and change the type of saving throw it makes against that casting of the spell. To determine the new type of saving throw, roll a d6 and consult the Chaotic Spell table below; if your roll corresponds to the saving throw that the spell normally requires, the Sorcery Points aren't spent.

You can't use this feature if you have already used one of your Metamagic options during the casting of the spell.

Chaotic Spell

d6	Saving Throw	d6	Saving Throw
1	Strength	4	Intelligence
2	Dexterity	5	Wisdom
3	Constitution	6	Charisma

11th Level: Controlled Chaos

You gain a modicum of control over the surges of your chaotic magic. Whenever you roll on the Wild Magic Surge table, you can roll twice and use either number. If both numbers correspond to the same effect, you can ignore them and instead create any effect of your choice from the table.

18th Level: Spell Bombardment

When you deal damage to one or more targets with a Sorcerer spell you cast, you can spend 1 to 5 Sorcery Points to deal extra damage to those targets. To determine the extra damage, roll a number of d6s equal to the number of Sorcery Points you spend and add them together. This damage occurs immediately after you deal the spell's damage and is of the same type dealt by the spell.

You can use this feature only once per casting of the spell, and no more than once per turn.
