Objetos Restritos

Alguns objetos exigem licenças para possuir ou operar, ou são de uso restrito a organizações ou indivíduos qualificados. No nesses casos, um personagem deve comprar uma licença ou pagar uma taxa para possuir legalmente o objeto. Uma licença ou taxa é um item separado, adquirido além (e geralmente antes) do objeto para qual se aplica. Os quatro níveis de restrição são os seguintes.

Licenciado: o proprietário deve obter uma licença para possuir ou operar o objeto legalmente. Geralmente, a licença não é cara, e sua obtenção tem poucos ou nenhuns requisitos legais adicionais.

Restrito:: Apenas indivíduos especialmente qualificados ou as organizações estão tecnicamente autorizadas a possuir o objeto. No entanto, os verdadeiros obstáculos à propriedade são tempo e dinheiro; qualquer pessoa com paciência suficiente e dinheiro pode, eventualmente, adquirir a licença necessária.

Militar: o objeto é vendido principalmente para policiais legítimos e organizações militares. Uma classificação militar é essencialmente a mesma como restrito (veja acima), exceto que fabricantes e revendedores estão geralmente sob rígido escrutínio do governo e, portanto, especialmente cauteloso ao vender para particulares.

Ilegal: o objeto é ilegal em tudo, exceto em circunstâncias especíicas, altamente regulamentadas.

Bio-Forms built for war understand duty, the chain of command, and conflict. But aside from this, many Bio-Forms often have little life experience as they have spent most of their time working towards one specific duty. If there is one interest all Bio-Forms share it is their love of working and the satisfaction of a job well done. Many create endless lists of goals and chores to feed that feeling. They take pride in their work and can work incredibly hard, both traits that make them dislike idleness and failure.

Bio-Forms can excel at most tasks, having a multi-minded efficiency, especially in intelligence related roles.

Bio-Organic Life-Forms Traits

Bio-Organic Life-Forms have the following traits in common:

Size. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base speed is 40 feet.

Life Absorption. As an action you can make a grapple check against the target, if you successfully grapple them, or you already have the target grappled, they must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency + Constitution modifier). On a failure, the target takes 2d6 necrotic damage and you gain the same amount as temporary HP. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.

You can use this trait once, and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. This trait does not work on non-living creatures.

Genetic Appendages. You gain the Jumping and Water Speed Attributes. In addition, you gain the Wall-Crawling Special Movement.

Finally, you can deform your hands to the point where you now have sharp shards of bone growing from your knuckles, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with your claws, you deal 2d4 slashing damage.

Dhampir

Tall and slender and with well-defined musculature, dhampirs look like statuesque humans of unearthly beauty. Their hair, eye, and skin colors resemble unnerving versions of their mothers; many possess a ghastly pallor.

The half-living children of vampires and human mothers, dhampirs are born into a world that rejects them. Stigma and suspicion follow them regardless of whether the truth of a dhampir child’s nature is known.

Society

Dhampirs have no culture of their own, nor do they have any known lands or even communities. Often born in secret and abandoned at orphanages or left to die on the outskirts of town, they tend to live solitary lives as exiles and outcasts. Individuals acquire the cultural beliefs and teachings of the regions in which they grew up, and adopt additional philosophies over the course of their complex lives.

PART 1 | LINEAGES

Relations

As dhampirs are scions of evil, few races view them favorably. They share an affinity for those half-breeds whose sinister ancestry also sets them apart from human society. Humans view them with a combination of fear and pity, though such feelings often devolve into hatred and violence.

Other humanoid races, such as fairies, descendents, and gnomes, simply shun them. Similarly, dhampirs bear a deep-seeded loathing for living creatures, their hatred planted by jealousy and fed by frustration.

Alignment & Religions

Most dhampirs succumb to the evil within their blood. They are unnatural creatures, and the foul influence of their undead heritage makes an evil outlook difficult to overcome. Those who struggle against their wicked natures rarely progress beyond a neutral outlook.

Dhampir Names

Lacking a culture and unified traditions, dhampirs share humans’ predilection for a diversity of names, and most keep their human birth names. Many dhampirs take their mother’s surname, while others take the surname of the towns or regions in which they were born, or use a surname derived from a significant event.

Dhampir Traits

Dhampir have the following traits in common:

Size. Dhampir have the same range of height and weight as humans. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base speed is 30 feet.

Low-light Vision. For 30 feet around you, you can see in dim light as if it were bright light. You can not see in darkness.

Vampiric Resistance. You have resistance to necrotic damage.

Subrace. This race has multiple subraces, as listed below.

House Senet

Bloodthirst. You can drain blood and life energy from a willing creature, or one that is incapacitated, restrained, or grappled by you.

As an action, make a melee attack against the target. If you hit, you deal 1 piercing damage and 2d6 necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and you regain hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

The necrotic damage increases to 3d6 at 5th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 17th level.

House Thamyre

Misty Escape. When you drop to 0 hit points outside of your coffinlike structure, you transform into a cloud of mist instead of falling unconscious, provided you are not in an area of sunlight, running water or has being struck with a silver weapon. If you can't transform, you are destroyed.

While in mist form, you can't take any actions, speak, or manipulate objects. You are weightless, have a flying speed of 20 feet, can hover, and can enter a hostile creature's space and stop there. In addition, if air can pass through a space, the mist can do so without squeezing, and it can't pass through water. It has advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws, and is immune to all nonmagical damage, except the damage it takes from sunlight.

While you have 0 hit points in mist form, you can't revert to your vampire form. If you do not reach your coffinlike structure within 2 hours, you are destroyed.

Once in you coffinlike structure, you revert to your vampire form. You are then paralyzed until you regain at least 1 hit point. After spending 1 hour in your coffinlike structure with 0 hit points, you regain 1 hit point.

Dvati

"It was like looking at a reflection in a mirror, except both of them could swing a sword at me. Before I knew it, I was outflanked and trying to duel the same person twice. I was on my back foot, and then I was just on my back. When they sheathed their identical rapiers and helped me up, I couldn't even tell which one I had offended."

— Dravin, dueling dvati twins

A perfect pair, entwined for life, dvati are at once two beings and a single creature, a single soul living in two separate bodies.

Identical Twins

Twins being born is by no means an uncommon occurrence, but sometimes they may have more in common than just appearances. Dvati are born as identical twins throughout the planes with a single identical soul shared between them. The twins act like a single paired organism, with two bodies and two minds acting with a single purpose. Ancient folklore claims that dvati are born with souls too large for one body, and therefore must house them in two.

Dvati twins are skilled combatants, capable of strategizing in unison, and versatile spellcasters, able to conduct spells through one another. The benefits of having two bodies, however, is certainly balanced by its risks. Dvati twins cannot exist separately, and if one is killed or injured, it endangers the lives of both.

Birds of a Feather

Dvati twins always travel together and tend to seek out other pairs of twins. When enough twins congregate, dvati are known to form towns and villages of their own. These are tightly-knit communities, for close cooperation is second nature to dvati, who view their settlements as a bastion of unity in an otherwise disconnected world.

Cooperative Spirit

Working in perfect synchronicity is a dvati's usual state. As such, these twins find the relative discord of other creatures to be confusing, or at worst, distressing. They often spin parables about ants, wolves, and other cooperative creatures to illustrate how people should behave in harmony to better themselves. Such stories usually fall on deaf ears, for most creatures cannot relate to the close association that dvati

share, but neither can dvati understand how it is to be alone.

Dvati Names

Dvati twins are born into normal human families, and are therefore named as other humans. However, if a diviner foretells the birth of dvati twins, it is often customary to give them similar, rhyming names, so that the twins can feel more whole.

Male Dvati Twin Names: Amrod and Amras, Corin and Corvin, Giles and Files, Jovan and Joran, Landon and London, Zane and Zost.

Female Dvati Twin Names: Bree and Ski, Cilia and Hilia, Dora and Kora, Kara and Mera, Mello and Yellow, Tellia and Talia.

PART 1 | LINEAGES

Dvati Traits

Dvati have the following traits in common:

Ability Score Increase. Two different ability score of your choice increase by 1 and you gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.

Size. Dvati twins are always exactly the same height and build. Your twins are both Medium size.

Speed. Your base speed for a pair of dvati is 45 feet, which is divided up among the twins each turn as you choose.

Twins. A 'single' dvati is a pair of creatures that share a single soul. They are inextricably linked, and can no more exist separately than a human can exist without his heart. In spite of having two bodies, dvati twins perform as a single character, with the following differences:

• Actions. Dvati twins have a single action, bonus action, and reaction, between them, each of which can be taken only once by one of the twins on your turn. If you take the Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, Hide, Ready, or Search actions, both twins perform and gain its benefits.

• Attacks. If you take the attack Action to attack with one twin, the other twin can attack as a bonus action. You don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative.
      If you're able to make multiple attacks, you can divide these attacks between the twins.

• Hit Points. Dvati twins have separate hit points, which are divided between them. At 1st level, each twin has the normal hit points of the class. At higher levels, each dvati twin's hit point maximum increases by your Constitution modifier + half the class's Hit Die.
      Your Hit Dice are also divided up amongst the dvati twins. You choose how many of these dice each twin receives when you take a long rest.

• Spellcasting. A pair of dvati twins can only concentrate on one spell at a time, however, only one of the twins needs to concentrate on a spell to maintain it. When you cast a spell which requires concentration, you choose which twin is concentrating on it.
      When casting a spell, either dvati can provide the spell components, and the spell can originate from the twin of your choice.

• Magical Effects. If a spell or magical ability affects one dvati twin, it affects them both, unless that spell or ability affects hit points or if the two twins are further than 100 feet apart, in which case, it affects each twin separately.

• Conditions. A condition, such as being poisoned or grappled, affects only one twin, even if imposed by a spell.

• Death. When a dvati twin is reduced to 0 hit points and begins to make death saving throws, its twin becomes incapacitated, and able to move at only half speed. If a dvati twin dies, the other twin quickly begins to deteriorate and perishes 24 hours later if his partner does not return to life.

Empathic Link. As long as both twins are on the same plane, they can empathetically sense the other's emotional state. Each twin knows when the other takes damage.

Additionally, though communication between the twins is not telepathic, it is highly nonverbal and intuitive. Dvati twins can communicate with half the words and twice the speed of other creatures, even in combat.

Transference. If one of your dvati twins is affected by a curse, disease, or is blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned, and the other is not, you can use your action to transfer that condition to the other twin.

Wee Winged Fey

Fairies resemble very small elves, ranging from 5 to 10 inches tan with wings on their backs like the wings of butterflies, moths, or dragonflies. Like elves, they are slender and lithe, and they even have the same pointed ears. With their slight frame and tiny size, they usually weigh no more than 2 or 3 pounds. Fairies have skin colors mostly similar to elves, encompassing the range of human tones along with more amber, bronze, green, or blue shades. Their hair sometimes passes for human colorations, but can often be bright blue, green, or any other color. Some clans of pixies and scamps have even stranger colorations more befitting a fey.

Staying Hidden from Hunters

The life of a fairy normally involves staying hidden from the outside world. While most of the more powerful fey usually

ignore fairies and their villages except to enlist the occasional messenger or servant, the mortal world is eager to discover any pixies, sprites, or scamps that they can. Unfortunately, their eagerness usually goes too far. Fairies are commonly not only sought, but hunted by the outside races; they are prized for their innate magic, such as their wings or a pixie's dust. Some twisted few even seek and capture fairies simply to keep them in a deranged collection. These dark tales are what fairies tell their children to keep them from wandering too far from the safety of the hidden village, but that doesn't mean they aren't dangerously real.

To stay safely hidden, fairies build their settlements in locations that are difficult for others to find. Commonly chosen spots include the insides of logs, the boughs of trees or willing treants, within rings of toadstools, and other natural hiding spots found in verdant glades and untouched wilderness. While most of them live within the Feywild, there are plenty of fairy communities on the Material Plane as well, but they are so well hidden that you might never know it!

Fairy Names

Fairies are usually given names by their parents, but they lack family or clan names. They sometimes choose to rely entirely on nicknames that they have picked out for themselves. Fairies also might choose a name taken from the other races instead of a traditional fairy name,sometimes even naming themselves or others after a simple noun that the fairy finds intriguing instead of a proper name. Traditional fairy names,

by contrast, often involve aspects of nature, especially ones as small as the fairies themselves, such as bugs or flowers.

Some pixies and scamps on the other hand are enamored with the outsider concept of family names, and, lacking a full understanding of the purpose of such a name, adopt a family name that they've heard from another race, such as "Goodfellow." Such names are usually taken only for amusement and are only used when the fairy is among non-fairies; they are rarely passed on to children.

Fey Ancestry. You have two creature types: humanoid and fey. You can be affected by a spell or ability if it works on either of your creature types.

Subrace. This race has multiple subraces, as listed below.

Delighted Dedication

As far as gnomes are concerned, being alive is a wonderful thing, and they squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of their three to five centuries of life. Humans might wonder about getting bored over the course of such a long life, and elves take plenty of time to savor the beauties of the world in their long years, but gnomes seem to worry that even with all that time, they can't get in enough of the things they want to do and see.

Gnomes speak as if they can't get the thoughts out of their heads fast enough. Even as they offer ideas and opinions on a range of subjects, they manage to listen carefully to others, adding the appropriate exclamations of surprise and appreciation along the way.

Though gnomes love jokes of all kinds, particularly puns and pranks, they're just as dedicated to the more serious tasks they undertake. Many gnomes are skilled engineers, alchemists, tinkerers, and inventors. They're willing to make mistakes and laugh at themselves in the process of perfecting what they do, taking bold (sometimes foolhardy) risks and dreaming large.

Bright Burrows

Gnomes makes their homes in hilly, wooded lands. They live underground but get more fresh air than dwarves do, enjoying the natural, living world on the surface where ever they can. Their homes are well hidden by both clever construction and simple illusions. Welcome visitors are quickly ushered into the bright, warm burrows. Those who are not welcome are unlikely to find the burrows in the first place.

Gnomes who settle in human lands are commonly gemcutters, engineers, sages, or tinkerers. Some human families retained gnome tutors, ensuring that their pupils enjoy a mix of serious learning and delighted enjoyment. A gnome might tutor several generations of a single human family over the course of his or her long life.

Gnome Names

Gnomes love names, and most have half a dozen or so. A gnome's mother, father, clan elder, aunts, and uncles each give the gnome a name, and various nicknames from just about everyone else might or might not stick over time.

Gnome names are typically variants on the names of ancestors or distant relatives, though some are truly new inventions. When dealing with humans and others who are "Stuffy" about names, a gnome learns to use no more than three names; A personal name, a clan name, and a nickname, choosing the one in each category that's the most fun to say.

Male Names: Alston, Alvyn, Boddynock, Brocc, Ettrgell, Dimble, Eldon, Erky, Fonkin, Frug, Gerbo, Gimble, Glim, Jebeddo, Kellen, Namfoodle. Orryn, Roondar, Seebo, Warryn, Wrenn, Zook

Unlike the half-elves, the half-dwarves may belong to either one, and show the best qualities of each parent: human curiosity, and ambition for greatness enhanced by the ability to create and sturdiness of the dwarves.

Some half-dwarves live among humans, set apart by their gruffness and being stout, outliving their friends and loved ones. Others live with the dwarves, growing restless with time and doing their tasks, day in and day out. Many half-dwarves may explore outside of these civilizations, exploring the unkept wilderness and hoping to start a kingdom of their own.

PART 1 | LINEAGES

Orcs regard battle scars as tokens or pride and ornamental scars as things of beauty. Other scars, though, mark an Orc, or half-orc as a former slave or a disgraced exile. Any half-orc who has lived among or near orcs has scars, whether they are marks of humiliation or of pride, recounting their past exploits and injuries. Such a half-orc living among humans might display these scars proudly or hide them in shame.

Half-Orc Names

Half-orcs usually have names appropriate to the culture in which they were raised. A half-orc who wants to fit in among humans might trade an orc name for a human name. Some half-orcs with human names decide to adopt a guttural orc name because they think it makes them more intimidating.

Lesser Celestial

With the end of the God-War, the Arch Seraphs of each deity descended upon the world, each taking upon their own shoulders the burden of imposing order on a world cast into disarray. These Arch Seraphs were the most powerful lieutenants among the angelic hosts, strong enough to retain a semblance of their power following the tragedy. The lesser angels were not so lucky. Many found themselves wholly bereft of their powers, cast down to Nyos to live out their now mortal lives amidst the lesser races.

Over time, the lesser celestials have learned to tap into the small shreds of divine power that lie sleeping within their blood. That power still remembers the lesser celestial's former purpose and can be harnessed in times of great need to aid those who once called upon the gods for their power. This ability is as dangerous as it is powerful, for there are many who would seek to take it by force.

Fallen clergy who seek to drain the lesser celestials in order to restore their own failing powers, vampires seeking to drink from a fountain of the tainted divine, even those who treat with powerful entities alien to this world, are all potential predators to a fallen angel. Indeed, there are some who have already discovered this secret and are willing to go to any lengths in order to obtain it.

Protectors of the Innocent

Lesser celestials tend to embrace the lighter aspects of this world, becoming nurses, philanthropists, first-responders, and everyday saints. Regardless of the reason, it is in their nature to defend the innocent and battle evil wherever they venture.

Lesser celestial Names

Lesser celestials, like most angels, have majestic names borrowed from the most ancient of languages in the existence, celestial. Because their names are unique to themselves, lesser celestials have only one name.

Male Lesser celestial Names: Arioch, Barbiel, Hadraniel, Kasbiel, Malockel, Nisarriah, Samuel, Semalion, Tatryon, Vohamodnoch.

Female Lesser celestial Names: Anaphiel, Rehael, Serapha, Viretel, Oriash, Zarall, Hemah Sansavi, Piradah, Hadariel.

During it, you shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet, and at the end of each of your turns, you and each creature within 10 feet of you take radiant damage equal to half your level (rounded up). In addition, once on each of your turns, you can deal extra radiant damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra radiant damage equals your level.

You can use this trait once, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Celestial Awareness. You were trained to use all your senses to avoid surprise attacks and assassinations. You gain blindsight to a range of 10 feet.

Claws. You have long, sharp claws on your fingers that can slash as well as any blade. Your unarmed strikes deal 2d4 piercing plus 1d6 poison damage on a hit, and you add your Strength modifier to the damage roll.

Lesser Giant

Lesser giants tribes cloister in remote forest strongholds, preferring to spend their days in quiet harmony with the woods. When provoked, lesser giants demonstrate formidable skills with weapons and druidic magic.

Humble Guardians

Lesser giants love nothing more than a peaceful day spent among the trees of an old forest. They see forests as sacred places, representing the heart of the world and monuments to the durability of life.

In their role as caretakers, lesser giants live off the land while striving to remain in balance with nature. Their methods reflect common sense and remarkable resourcefulness. During a bountiful summer, they store away excess nuts, fruit, and berries. When winter arrives, they scatter everything they can spare to ensure the animals of the wood survive until springtime.

In a lesser giant's eyes, there is no greater fault than greed. The lesser giants believe that the world remains healthiest

when each creature takes only what it needs. Material goods, especially precious gems and gold, have little appeal to them. What use are such things when winter lingers and food runs short?

Natural Druids

Lesser giants have a talent for druidic magic. Their cultural reverence for nature, combined with their strong and insightful minds, makes learning such magic an instinctive part of their development.

Almost every lesser giants learns a few spells, typically those used to mask their presence, and many go on to master nature magic. Lesser giants who become druids serve as stronghold leaders. With every action the tribe takes, the druids weigh not only the group's needs, but the effect each action will have on the forest and the rest of the natural world. Lesser giants tribes would rather go hungry than strain the land during a famine.

Hidden Shepherds

As rare beings, lesser giants might go their entire lives without encountering another one of their kind. As caretakers of the land, lesser giants prefer to remain out of sight and out of mind. They don't try to dominate nature, but rather seek to ensure that it prospers and survives according to its own laws.

Lesser giant Names

Lesser giants adopt elven names when they must deal with outsiders, although the concept of names strikes them as strange. They know the animals and plants of the forest without formal names, and instead identify the forest's children by their deeds, habits, and other actions.

By the same token, their tribe names merely refer to their homes. When dealing with other races, sasquatch refer to their lands by whatever name the surrounding folk use, as a matter of tact and hospitality, but among their own kind they simply call it "home." Sometimes lesser giants adopt the nicknames or titles outsiders give them under the assumption that those who need names can call them whatever they wish.

Lesser giant Traits

Lesser giants have the following traits in common:

Size. Even the smallest half-giant stand 10 feet tall, and many are larger. Your size is Large.

Speed. Your base speed is 40 feet.

Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Giantkin. You have two creature types: humanoid and giant. You can be affected by a spell or ability if it works on either of your creature types.

Subrace. This race has multiple subraces, as listed below.

Oni

Spell-Like Ability. You know the Metamorphose cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Spiritual Consultation spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the Spirit Echo spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

PART 1 | LINEAGES

You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Tanuki

Raccoon’s Trickery. You have proficiency in Persuasion.

Witty Escape. You can use your friends as a distraction in an act of, not cowardice, but strategy. Once per turn, when you move out of a creature's reach, you do not provoke opportunity attacks from it if one of your allies is within 5 feet of it.

move on your turn in combat, you can
double your walking speed, long jump

when you finish a long rest.

bludgeoning damage.

On a hit, you can attempt to shove the creature, and it can only make a Strength saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier.

Nymph

“I once loved a man who had eyes like jewels, and tresses like the sun, and lips like a flower. He claimed to have been born within a crag at the peak of the mountain near my village, but I did not believe him, for how could anything so delicate be born from hard, pitted rock?”

— Tessela, witch of the western steppes

Legend of the Nymphs

There was once a river running through the mountains. None can say which river or which mountains, for this was so long ago that the land has rolled and shifted so as to become unrecognizable in the time since. The mountains were blanketed in a soft powder of white snow, and as the snow melted, it crept along the ground and joined together into streams of water, which trickled along the rocks and formed a river.

PART 1 | LINEAGES

Naiad

Amphibious. You can breathe air and water and you have the Water Speed Attribute.

River Traveler. You have proficiency with water vehicles, and you have advantage on ability checks made to forage or navigate near a natural body of water. You ignore any drawbacks caused by an underwater environment.

Heated Body. When a creature starts its turn while it is grappling you or you are grappling it, you may choose to deal it fire damage equal to two times your proficiency bonus.

Vect

“Very gradually, by degrees, pale blue hues invade the quiet of night, and Hammerer knows that only a few hours remain until dawn. Throughout the afternoon, evening, and night, he has meticulously inspected his tools, a wide array of mallets, sledges, and, of course, hammers, cleaning them, performing repairs, and organizing them by size and by color, only powering down for a few hours in the middle of the night.

Creating Your Accursed

When creating an accursed, the most important aspect to consider is your curse itself. What is your curse’s nature, and how did you receive it? As a starting character, you’ll choose the nature of your curse - lycanthropy, chronic bad luck, possession by a spirit, a cursed weapon, or vampirism - but exactly how you received your curse is up to you. Did you or one of your ancestors anger a god or other powerful entity? Was the curse transferred to you by another afflicted individual? Or did some magical ritual go awry with you in proximity?

Another important aspect of creating an accursed is how you came to be in control of your curse’s power. Did you study and experiment? Did you harmonize with it? Or did you stubbornly refuse to let it control you?

What do you plan to do with this power you’ve attained? A curse is a magic of vile energies created to inflict suffering. Do you use this magic for its intended purpose, conquering and slaying for your own gain? Or do you resist the magic’s nature and use it to become a champion of the downtrodden, a hero who can empathize with great suffering? It’s your power now, so only you can decide what to do with it.

Class Features

As an accursed, you gain the following class features.

Proficiencies

Armor: light armor, medium armor
Weapons: simple weapons, hand crossbows, simple firearms
Tools: None

Saving Throws: Wisdom, and your choice of Intelligence or Charisma
Skills: Choose two from Arcana, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Piloting and Survival

Equipment

You start with 5d4 x 100 New Yen to buy your own equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your profession.

Accursed Affliction

Through unfortunate circumstances, you were stricken with a curse that would have broken most other people. However, whether by sheer willpower, introspective meditation, or arcane study, you not only overcame the challenges your curse presented, but learned to harness its power.

Your curse has become as much a part of you as your own heart. The Remove Curse spell, as well as any similar effect, has no effect on your curse when it is cast on you. If your curse takes the form of a magical disease, you can’t be cured of it by any means. Your choice grants you features at 1st level, and again at 3rd, 5th, 11th, 15th, and 20th level.

Malediction Malignance

At 10th level, your curse evolves again. You can choose a second metamorphosis from the options in the Malediction Metamorphosis class feature, or from the following options if you meet the metamorphosis’ prerequisites.

Anathema Arcane

Starting at 14th level, the vile magics of your curse become too powerful to be solely contained in your body. This overflowing curse energy invisibly extends from you in a 15-foot radius aura, and can interfere with other magical effects. If a creature has truesight or is under the effects of the Detect Magic spell or similar magic, it can see this aura as a noxious smoke. You can use this aura to disrupt magic in the following ways:

Negate. When you see a creature within the aura cast a spell that includes you as a target, you can use your reaction to attempt to negate the effects of the spell on yourself. When you do, make an ability check using your curse ability. The DC equals 10 + twice the spell’s circle. On a success, you suffer none of the spell’s effects. This has no effect on the spell’s other targets.

Stifle. As an action, you can attempt to stifle the magic of an object or spell effect you can see within your aura. When you do, make an ability check using your curse ability. If the target is a spell effect, the DC equals 10 + twice the spell’s circle. If the target is a magic item, the DC depends on the item’s rarity, as shown in the Anathema Arcane table. On a success, the magical properties of the object or spell effect are stifled for 1 minute; a spell effect you target this way ceases to function for the duration, and a magic object you target this way becomes its mundane equivalent for the duration.

Bolstering Suppression

Prerequisite: Instinctual Suppression
When you use your Suppress, you gain temporary hit points equal to five times the expended spell points, and you gain resistance to a damage type of your choice for the duration. When the Suppress ends, you lose any remaining temporary hit points from this feature.

Capacious Anathema

Prerequisite: Obstinate Anathema
The range of your Anathema Arcane aura doubles. Additionally, when you use your Selfish Anathema and succeed on the ability check, you can choose up to five other creatures you can see within the aura that are also affected by the spell. You end the spell’s effects on each of the chosen creatures.

You can use this trait once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest.

Clandestine Imprecation

Prerequisite: Muffling Imprecation
While you’re in dim light or darkness, you can Hide as a bonus action on your turn.

Additionally, if you’re hidden from a creature when you cast a spell on it, the creature has disadvantage on any saving throw it makes against the spell this turn.

Crippling Jinx

Prerequisite: Consolidating Jinx
When a creature fails its saving throw against your Jinx, you can choose instead to give it disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes using the chosen ability within the next minute.

You can use this trait once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Doubling Jinx

Prerequisite: Consolidating Jinx
When you use your Jinx, you can target a second creature within range. You can choose a different ability for each target.

Effortless Suppression

Prerequisite: Instinctual Suppression
You can use your Suppress at will, without expending spell points. When you do, it doesn’t end until you die or until you use a bonus action on your turn to end it.

Explosive Bane

Prerequisite: Deadly Bane
Once during each of your turns when you hit a creature with an attack, you can cause the attack to deal an additional 1d10 necrotic damage. When you use this metamorphosis, you can also choose to expend 2 spell points to cause the attack to deal an additional 1d10 necrotic damage, 2d10 if you spend 3 spell points, 3d10 if you spend 5 spell points, 4d10 if you spend 6 spell points, or 5d10 if you spend 7 spell points or more.

Hex Aura

Prerequisite: Hex Armor
While you’re wearing light, medium, or no armor, when an attacker you can see within 30 feet of you hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to cast Hex on that creature, without expending spell points. When you cast the spell this way, the spell ends early if the target drops to 0 hit points, or if you use this ability again.

Mutating Malediction

When you finish a short rest, you can choose to replace any number of your other metamorphoses with different metamorphoses. To choose a metamorphosis, you must meet its prerequisites. If you no longer meet a metamorphosis’ prerequisites, you must replace that metamorphosis as well.

For example, you can replace both of your other metamorphoses with the Hostile Bane and Deadly Bane options, since, by choosing Hostile Bane, you meet Deadly Bane’s prerequisites. However, if you then later replace Hostile Bane with another metamorphosis, you must also replace Deadly Bane, since you no longer meet the latter’s prerequisites.

Philistine Anathema

Prerequisite: Obstinate Anathema
You learn the Counterspell and Dispel Magic spells. They don’t count against the number of accursed spells you know. You can cast each spell once without expending spell points, and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Prolific Affliction

Prerequisite: Transferring Affliction
When you spend 3 spell points or more to use your Afflict, instead of increasing the effect’s duration, you can choose an additional target for each spell circle above 1st.

Shielding Hex

Prerequisite: Hex Armor
While you’re wearing light, medium, or no armor, when an attacker you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you.

Umbral Imprecation

Prerequisite: Muffling Imprecation
You have darkvision. If you already have darkvision, its range instead increases by 15 feet. Magical darkness doesn’t impede your darkvision.

Additionally, you can cast Darkness spell once, without expending spell points, and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Vengeful Bane

Prerequisite: Deadly Bane
When a creature you can see within the range of a weapon you’re holding causes you to take damage, you can use your reaction to make a weapon attack against that creature. If the attack hits, it deals additional necrotic damage equal to your curse ability modifier.

Vile Affliction

Prerequisite: Transferring Affliction
You can use your Afflict as a bonus action on your turn.

Additionally, when you use your Afflict, you can choose any number of your ailments. If the creature fails its saving throw, it suffers each of your chosen ailments for the duration, and you can choose not to suffer any number of the chosen ailments’ effects for the duration.

Accursed Afflictions

Accurseds, once they take control of the magic of their curse, find themselves in a rather unique situation: they are able to view the malediction in ways that few other creatures can, learning the true makeup of its magics. Most are surprised to find that the common beliefs held about the nature of their particular affliction are actually misconceptions, though this isn’t the case for all imprecations. Learning to utilize the true nature of their curse’s magic is at the heart of an accursed’s progression of power.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Voracious Weapon

Also at 5th level, your curse weapon begins to hunger for additional power, jealous of the advances you’ve made by siphoning its curse energy. When you attune to a magic melee weapon, you can choose to feed it to your curse weapon, causing your curse weapon to gain its magical properties. For example, if you feed a flame tongue to your curse weapon, it gains the flame tongue’s ability to ignite by speaking a command word, shedding light and dealing the additional fire damage while it is ignited. While your curse weapon has a magic item consumed this way, it counts as magical for the purpose of spells.

When you feed a magic weapon to your curse weapon this way, you still count as being attuned to the consumed weapon. Your curse weapon regurgitates the consumed weapon, losing the weapon’s properties, if you feed it a different magic melee weapon, if you become unattuned from the consumed weapon, or if you use your action to cause it to regurgitate the weapon.

Fighting Style

At 11th level, your expertise with your curse weapon allows you to adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Defense. While you’re holding your curse weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC. This bonus increases to +2 if you aren’t wielding another weapon or shield.

Dueling. While you’re wielding or throwing your curse weapon with one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with it.

Great Weapon Fighting. When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with your curse weapon while you’re wielding or throwing it with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or 2.

Protection. When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you within 20 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll, throwing your curse weapon to intercept the attack. You must be wielding your curse weapon, and it reappears in your space immediately afterward.

Throwing. You gain a +2 bonus to ranged attack rolls you make with your curse weapon. Additionally, when making a ranged attack with your curse weapon, being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on the attack roll.

Reciprocal Relationship

Also starting at 11th level, when you hit a creature or object with an attack using your curse weapon, you can use your reaction to teleport to the nearest unoccupied space to the target.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your curse ability modifier (minimum once). You regain all of your expended uses when you finish a long rest.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Curse Combination

Beginning at 15th level, when you take the Attack or Cast a Spell action, you can make an attack with your curse weapon as a bonus action this turn.

Bloodthirsty Blade

At 20th level, when you use your curse weapon to score a critical hit or reduce a creature to 0 hit points on your turn, you can make an additional attack with your curse weapon as part of the same action.

Ravenous Weapon

Also at 20th level, your curse weapon can have up to two magic melee weapons consumed at the same time. If you attempt to feed it a third, it regurgitates your choice of the two weapons it currently has consumed. If both of the consumed weapons grant a bonus to attack and damage rolls using the weapon, you use the higher of the two bonuses, not the combination. For example, if your curse weapon has consumed a weapon +2 and a weapon +3, you will receive a +3 bonus to your attack and damage rolls using your curse weapon, not a +5 bonus.

Call Help

At 3rd level, you learn to use your curse to aid your allies in finding you if you are in trouble. As an action, you choose any creature you are familiar with. If that creature is within 1 mile of you, it senses your location for the next minute, and for the duration is aware of the direction of your movement if you are moving.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your curse ability modifier (minimum once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Aggravated Assault

Also starting at 3rd level, you can increase the aggression of other creatures, possibly causing them to reactively attack. As an action, you can cause a creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature uses its reaction to make a weapon attack at another target of your choice within the weapon’s range. If the attack hits, it counts as you hitting the creature with an attack for the purpose of your accursed spells.

Hunt Down

Beginning at 5th level, when you take the Attack action, you can have one of your summoned creatures use its reaction to move up to its speed toward its target and make a weapon attack against it if it’s within range. The summoned creature must be friendly to you, or this feature fails.

Bigger Game

Starting at 11th level, when you use your Call the Hunt, the summoned creature can be of any creature type other than humanoid, provided that it meets the other restrictions of the feature.

Most Dangerous Game

Beginning at 15th level, when you use your Call the Hunt, there is no longer any restriction on the summoned creature’s possible Intelligence score, and the summoned creature’s type can be humanoid, provided that it meets the other restrictions of the feature.

Wild Hunt

At 20th level, when you use your Call the Hunt, you can summon up to three creatures, provided they all use the same stat block. When they are summoned or you use your action to direct their aggression, you can choose the same or different targets for each summoned creature.

Additionally, your summoned creatures’ attacks now count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Revert

At 15th level, you learn to tap into your curse’s magic to revert damage you have sustained. As an action when you have fewer than half your hit points remaining, you can regain a number of hit points equal to half your hit point maximum.

You can use this trait once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Malediction Magnificent

At 20th level, you have lived for so long with your curse that it evolves one final time. You can choose a fourth metamorphosis from the options in the Malediction Metamorphosis, Malediction Malignance, and Malediction Metastasis class features. If a metamorphosis has prerequisites, you must meet them to choose it.

Unseen Assault

Also at 3rd level, you learn to use your unseen status as a way to find your foes’ weaknesses. Once during each of your turns when you hit a creature you are hidden from or that can’t see you with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an additional 2d4 damage.

The damage increases by 2d4 when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th level (4d4), 11th level (6d4), and 17th level (8d4).

Concealed Combatant

Starting at 5th level, whenever you use your Disappearing Duelist, attack rolls made against you by creatures that can't perceive invisible targets have disadvantage for the remainder of the turn.

Evanescent

Beginning at 11th level, you regain all of your expended uses of Vanish whenever you finish a short rest.

Guerrilla Tactics

Starting at 15th level, when you Vanish, you can choose a number of other willing creatures you can see within 30 feet of you equal to your curse ability modifier (minimum 1). Each chosen creature turns invisible until the end of its next turn, or until it attacks, makes a damage roll, or forces a creature to make a saving throw.

You can use this trait once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest.

Invisible Stalker

At 20th level, you can use Vanish an unlimited number of times. When you Vanish, its duration increases to 1 minute, or until you attack, make a damage roll, or force a creature to make a saving throw.

Additionally, when you use your Disappearing Duelist, attack rolls made against you by creatures that can't perceive invisible targets have disadvantage until the start of your next turn. For the duration, you also have advantage on saving throws against spells that require the caster to be able to see you. You don't gain advantage on the saving throw if the creature has the ability to perceive invisible targets.

Curse of Lycanthropy

Lycanthropy is one of the most ancient and feared curses, one that transforms civilized humanoids into ravenous, raging beasts. Once bitten by a lycanthrope, the instinct to eat and destroy consumes most of the afflicted, even those who do their utmost to resist it. However, unlike so many others, you’ve found a way to manage these instincts, and unlocked the quintessential nature of lycanthropy: the ability to sculpt your body into mammalian forms. You’ve learned to harness this gift, transcending the singular beast form of the lycanthrope who turned you and accessing the shapes of any mammal you’ve seen. You can only imagine the possibilities if you attain complete mastery of your shape...

Lycanthropy Ailments

As a creature afflicted with lycanthropy, you suffer the following ailments:

• You have vulnerability to damage from silvered weapons.
• Due to the enhanced metabolism caused by lycanthropy, you have to consume much more food than a normal creature. At the end of each day that you don’t consume double the amount of food a creature of your size usually consumes, you automatically suffer one level of exhaustion.

Curse Spells

You gain curse spells at the accursed levels listed in the Lycanthropy Curse Spells table. See the Spellcasting class feature for how curse spells work.

Lycanthropy Curse Spells

Accursed Level		Spells
2nd		Wolfsong
5th		Track
9th		Walk in the Moonlight
13th		Winter's Pack
17th		Violent Scream

PART 2 | CLASSES

Enhanced Senses

At 1st level, you gain proficiency in the Perception skill. Additionally, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Minor Shift

Also starting at 1st level, you learn to control your lycanthropy enough to shift small parts of your body for short periods without giving in to your feral instincts. You count as a shapechanger, in addition to your other types. Your original form is your fully humanoid form for the purpose of the Moonbeam spell and similar effects.

As you attack, you can shift your teeth into fangs or tusks or your hands into hooves or claws, allowing you to create a natural weapon. You are proficient with your natural weapon, which is a melee weapon that deals 2d4 bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage (your choice each time you make an attack with it).

Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn using your natural weapon, you can make an additional natural weapon attack as a bonus action.

Your natural weapon’s damage increases to 2d6 at 5th level, to 2d8 at 11th level, and to 2d10 at 17th level.

Additionally, starting when you reach 6th level in this class, your natural weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Scent Memory

By 3rd level, your enhanced senses have allowed you to create a mental catalogue of scents. Whenever you succeed on a Wisdom (Perception or Survival) check using smell to find or track a creature, you know if you’ve scented that creature before, and can accurately place the scent to a creature you know if you’ve smelled it in the last year. This feature has no effect on a creature if it is transformed into a form you don’t recognize.

Hybrid Shift

Also starting at 3rd level, you can assume a form that is a mix between humanoid and beast. This hybrid form is unstable, though, and can’t be maintained for long. You can assume your hybrid form as an action. While you’re in your hybrid form, you gain the following benefits:

• You can make a natural weapon attack as a bonus action on your turn.
• Your lycanthropy constantly reknits your wounds to maintain the form. At the start of each of your turns, you regain a number of hit points equal to half your accursed level. If you take damage from a silvered weapon, this benefit doesn’t function at the start of your next turn.

Your hybrid form lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you choose to end it (no action required by you), or if you drop to 0 hit points or die.

You can use this trait once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest. If you have no remaining uses of this feature, you can instead expend 5 spell points to use it again.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Sustained Shift

At 11th level, you gain the ability to sustain minor shifts of your form without losing yourself to your animal instincts. As an action, you can magically assume one of the following traits, or return to your normal form. If you assume one of these traits while you already have one assumed, you lose the previous trait.

Digitigrade Legs. Your femurs shorten while your metatarsals lengthen, giving you the appearance of having reversed knees and making your strides more powerful. Your speed increases by 10 feet, and you gain the Jumping and Fast Attributes.

Echolocation. Your vocal cords become more elastic, allowing you to create sounds inaudible to most creatures. As a bonus action on your turn, you can emit a noise inaudible to creatures without the echolocation or tremorsense traits. Until the beginning of your next turn, you have blindsight to a range of 30 feet as long as you aren’t deafened and are able to speak.

Hooked Claws. Hooked claws appear at the ends of your fingers and toes. You gain the Wall-Crawling Special Movement.

Powerful Lungs. Your lungs grow larger within your chest cavity, giving you a greater capacity for air. You can hold your breath for up to 15 minutes at a time.

Vertical Pupils. Your pupils thin until they become vertical slits, much like a cat’s. You have darkvision, if you don’t already have darkvision. Additionally, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Webbed Phalanges. The joints of your fingers and toes becomes bridged by flexible webbing. You gain the Water Speed Attribute.

Major Shift

At 15th level, you can cast the Alter Self spell at will, without expending spell points. When you cast the spell using this feature, it doesn’t require concentration.

Additionally, when you use the Change Appearance option, in addition to the normal ways you can use that option, you can change your basic shape, though you can only change your basic shape into that of mammals. You still can’t appear as a creature of a different size to you.

For example, you can use the Change Appearance option to change your form from bipedal to quadrupedal, but only into a pony, tiger, dog, or other mammal of your size, not into a crocodile, griffin, or other non-mammalian creature.

Master of Form

At 20th level, as a bonus action on your turn, you can use your Hybrid Shift, Sustained Shift, or Major Shift feature.

Additionally, you can use your Hybrid Shift an unlimited number of times. While in your hybrid form, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons that aren’t silvered.

Cheating Shroud

Also at 3rd level, you learn to utilize your shroud of unluck to cause games of chance to go in your favor. While you have your shroud of unluck, when a creature you can see within 30 feet makes an ability check involving a game of chance, such as using a dice set or playing card set, you can use your reaction to give the creature advantage or disadvantage on the ability check. The target doesn’t know you manipulated its luck this way.

Unavoidable Accident

Beginning at 5th level, when a creature succeeds on its saving throw against your Unfortunate Accident, it takes half the damage, but suffers no additional effects from your jinx.

Shared Misfortune

Starting at 11th level, you can pass your bad luck onto others. While you have your shroud of unluck, when you see a creature within 30 feet of you make an attack roll or ability check, you can use your reaction to force the creature to make the roll with disadvantage. You must use this feature before the creature makes the roll.

Luck Twist

Beginning at 15th level, you gain a finer control over luck, allowing you to grant good luck to others. While you have your shroud of unluck, when you see a creature within 30 feet of you make an attack roll or saving throw, you can use your reaction to grant the creature advantage on the roll. You must use this feature before the creature makes the roll.

Sovereign of Fate

At 20th level, you can bend the fate of all around you. In combat, you get a special reaction that you can take once on every creature’s turn, except your turn.

You can use this special reaction only to use either your Shared Misfortune or Luck Twist feature, and you can’t use it on the same turn that you take your normal reaction.

Diamond Form

At 20th level, the rock that makes up your stone form becomes harder than diamonds, and just as eternal. While in your stone form, you have resistance to all damage except psychic damage, you don’t age, and you no longer need to breathe.

Malevolent Malady

Starting at 15th level, your accursed class features and spells ignore immunity to disease. If a creature is normally immune to disease, it instead makes its saving throw against the feature or spell with advantage.

Resistant Pathogen

At 20th level, your contracted diseases become much more difficult for infected hosts to combat. When a creature casts a spell or uses an ability that would cure the target of one of your infections, the effect’s user must succeed on a spellcasting ability check against your spell save DC of the effect fails to cure the target of the infection. If the user doesn’t have a spellcasting ability for the effect, it uses its Constitution.

Additionally, when you use your Extended Illness, the target must succeed on the repeated Constitution saving throw three times to end its infection.

Diseases

The diseases are presented in alphabetical order.

Abyssal Affliction

Most often caused by exposure to demons, especially bulezau, the infected creature sports festering boils, coughs up flies, and sheds rotting skin.

Ailment. Your hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to your level.

Infection. The target becomes poisoned.

Contracting Additional Diseases

The diseases you contract as you gain levels are a result of you intentionally mutating the diseases within your body to create new strains. You might also come into contact with other magical diseases during your adventures. At your DM’s option, you might be able to contract such a disease as though you gained it through your Infection Vector class feature. If you do, work with your DM to determine its ailment and infection.

Contracting and gaining control of an outside disease takes a toll on your body. You suffer the disease’s full effects for a number of days equal to twice your number of contracted diseases. To survive the experience requires that you expend 1,000 New Yen for each day to afford the care; otherwise, your curse expels the disease from your system to keep you alive, though you remain incapacitated for the full duration as your body recovers from the trauma.

Blinding Sickness

The infected creature's eyes become clouded by an aggressive cataract.

Ailment. Your vision always counts as being at least lightly obscured. If you are in an area that is normally only lightly obscured, it counts as being heavily obscured for you.

Infection. The target has a much more difficult time seeing, causing it to have disadvantage on attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks it makes using sight.

Bone Rot

Most often transmitted by the corpses littering battlefields and graveyards, the infected creature’s bones become brittle, causing clumsiness and fragility.

Ailment. Your base walking speed is reduced by 10 feet.

Infection. Each time the target takes bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, its speed is reduced by 5 feet until the end of its next turn. If all of the target’s speeds are 0 when it takes this damage, it instead takes additional damage equal to half your accursed level, rounded up, and it can’t suffer this extra damage again until the end of its next turn. This infection ignores any immunity to disease an undead may have, provided that it has bones.

Cackle Fever

Also called “the shrieks,” this disease causes sudden and uncontrollable fits of laughter if the infected creature experiences stress.

Ailment. When you roll for initiative, take damage for the first time since the beginning of your last turn, become frightened, or have a nightmare, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take psychic damage equal to half your accursed level, rounded up.

Infection. The target laughs uncontrollably. It can’t speak, and can use either an action or bonus action on its turn, not both.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Corruption of Yurtrus

The infected creature grows horrifically large cysts and boils filled with poisonous pus.

Ailment. When you take damage for the first time since the start of your last turn, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until the end of your next turn.

Infection. If the target is reduced to 0 hit points or dies, it explodes, forcing each creature other than you within 10 feet of it to make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 1d6 poison damage and becomes poisoned on a failed saving throw, or half as much damage and isn’t poisoned on a successful one.

A creature poisoned this way can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effects on itself on a success.

The damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

Filth Fever

A fever sweeps through the infected creature’s body, causing muscle weakness.

Ailment. You have disadvantage on Strength ability checks, and your Strength score counts as being 2 lower for the purpose of calculating your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Infection. The target has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls using Strength.

Flesh Rot

The infected creature’s flesh begins to rot and slough off.

Ailment. Your horrifying visage and your putrid smell cause you to have disadvantage on Charisma checks you make to convince creatures to be friendly to you or not to be hostile toward you.

Infection. The target has disadvantage on Charisma ability checks, and once per turn when it takes damage from a creature other than you, it takes additional damage equal to half your curse ability modifier (minimum 1).

Mindfire

The infected creature’s mind becomes feverish, making it difficult for it to form thoughts.

Ailment. On your turn, you can use either an action or a bonus action, not both.

Infection. The target has disadvantage on Intelligence checks and at the start of its turn rolls a d20. On a 5 or less, the creature ends its turn without moving or taking any actions.

Mucous Suffocation

Most often caused by exposure to an aboleth’s mucous cloud, the infected creature’s lungs are sealed by the mucous, which acts as a replacement organ that can process the oxygen from water and causes the target to be able to breathe only underwater.

Ailment. If you don’t fully submerge yourself in water for at least 1 hour each day, you suffer a level of exhaustion that can only be removed once you take a long rest after submerging yourself this way.

Infection. The target loses the ability to breathe air and gains the ability to breathe water. For the duration, it is unable to speak, and it immediately begins to suffocate whenever it isn’t underwater. This infection has no effect on a creature that doesn’t need to breathe.

Rust Blight

While this disease has no effect on creatures made of organic matter, it is catastrophic to metal, causing rapid oxidization and brittleness.

Ailment. While you wield a nonmagical weapon made of metal, it takes a permanent and cumulative -1 penalty to its attack and damage rolls at the end of each minute. If its penalty drops to -5, the weapon is destroyed, crumbling away into rust-colored dust.

Infection. If the target is a construct or object, it suffers a -2 penalty to its AC, and until the end of the turn loses any resistance or immunity it has to necrotic damage. This infection ignores any immunity to disease a construct or object may have, though it has no effect on creatures that aren’t constructs.

Seizure

The infected creature is overcome with shaking due to muscle spasms.

Ailment. When you make a Dexterity ability check, you subtract you curse ability modifier (minimum 1) from the result.

Infection. The target has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls using Dexterity.

Sewer Plague

Most often transmitted by denizens of the sewers, such as rats and otyughs, the infected creature suffers various bodily symptoms, including fatigue and cramps.

Ailment. You regain only half the normal number of hit points from spending Hit Dice.

Infection. The creature suffers two levels of exhaustion, to a maximum of 5. It removes any levels of exhaustion it gained from this effect when the infection ends.

Slimy Doom

The infected creature begins gushing blood uncontrollably from its eyes, ears, and nose.

Ailment. When you lose concentration (as though concentrating on a spell), you become incapacitated until the end of your next turn.

Infection. The target has disadvantage on Constitution checks, and whenever it takes damage, the next attack roll made against it has advantage.

Spores of Madness

The infected creature’s mind is assaulted by spores, leading to confusion, aggression, and reduced higher functions.

Ailment. You have disadvantage on Intelligence checks you make to recall information.

Infection. The target has difficulty distinguishing friend from foe. At the start of each of its turns, it must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or the only action it can take this turn is the Attack action, choosing the target of the action at random from among other creatures it can see within range of its movement combined with the range of its possible attacks.

Curse of Possession

Your body is inhabited by a spirit of the deceased, and for some time it had complete control, forcing you to be a silent passenger in your own flesh. Whether it is a vengeful ghost, a sorrowful shade, or a lovelorn specter, this apparition has unfinished business that prevents it from passing into the afterlife. Somehow, you’ve wrested control of your body back from the spirit, and have made an accord with it, working together to help it pass on while you accomplish your own goals. Whether this accord is true friendship between the living and the dead or a tenuous partnership between unwilling parties, you both know that you’re much more powerful working together than apart...

Possession Ailments

As a creature afflicted with possession by a spirit, you suffer the following ailments:

• Due to the spirit sharing your body, spells and effects that detect the presence of undead, such as the Detect evil and good spell, detect you as if you are an undead. In addition, effects that affects undead, such as turn undead, also affects you.
• The spirit sharing your body makes you feel unnaturally cold, almost more than your mortal body can handle in normal environments. If you’re in a cold climate, as described in Chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide, or have suffered cold damage since the end of your last turn, you have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks using Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution.

Curse Spells

You gain curse spells at the accursed levels listed in the Possession Curse Spells table. See the Spellcasting class feature for how curse spells work.

Chill of the Afterlife

Starting at 3rd level, once during each of your turns when either you or your spirit companion hits with a melee weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an additional 1d6 cold damage. The damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 11th level (2d6), and 17th level (3d6).

Apparition Alacrity

Also beginning at 3rd level, you can use your bonus action to verbally command your spirit companion to take the Dash, Disengage, or Dodge action.

Body & Spirit

Starting at 5th level, when you take the Attack action, you can verbally command your spirit companion to make a withering touch attack as part of the same action.

Additionally, when you cast a spell, you can do so as if you were casting the spell from your spirit companion’s position.

Wail of the Grave

At 11th level, your spirit companion gains the ability to unleash a horrifying wail that has the potential to literally scare the life out of those who hear it. As an action, you can have your spirit companion unleash this wail. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of your spirit companion that can hear it must make a Constitution saving throw. A target takes 4d8 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Then, if the creature has a number of hit points less than or equal to your accursed level, it drops to 0 hit points.

This wail has no effect on undead or constructs, or creatures immune to being frightened.

You can use this trait once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest.

Mutual Possession

Starting at 15th level, your spirit companion can inhabit and control the bodies of other humanoids while maintaining its connection to you. As an action, you can have your spirit attempt to possess a humanoid within 5 feet of it. That creature must make a Charisma saving throw or be possessed by your spirit companion for 1 minute. When your spirit companion possesses a creature this way, it disappears into the target’s body. While in the target’s body, your spirit companion can’t be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect, except ones that turn undead.

While possessing a creature, your spirit companion retains its alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and immunity to being charmed and frightened.

It still counts as your spirit companion for the purpose of your class features and abilities, and takes its turns and uses its actions as normal. Otherwise, it uses the target’s statistics, but doesn’t gain access to the target’s knowledge, class features, or proficiencies.

The possession ends early if the body drops to 0 hit points, you choose to end it on your turn as a bonus action, or your spirit companion is forced out by an effect like the Dispel evil and good spell. When the possession ends, your spirit companion reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the body.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Spectral Champion

At 20th level, you become an ideal host for spirits, your body so infused with ectoplasmic energy that you empower any spirit that shares it. Your spirit companion’s flying speed increases to 30 feet. When you use your Mutual Possession, the target can be any creature that isn’t a construct or undead within 5 feet of your spirit companion, and the possession lasts indefinitely.

Additionally, once when you would drop to 0 hit points or be killed outright, you can use your reaction to have your spirit companion retreat into your body and return you to life with 1 hit point. You regain your use of this ability when you finish a short rest.

Curse of Vampirism

At some long past point in your life, you were taken by a vampire and turned. You spent countless years as a mindless vampire spawn, destroying and drinking at your master’s behest. By a certain point, you’d earned your master’s regard, and they made you a vampire scion, granting you a small measure of free will and returning your mind, and began training you to be a true vampire.

Dissatisfied with being a gilded slave, you found a way to break your master’s control over you, and managed to beat back the curse in your blood, returning yourself to a measure of life that isn’t exactly undeath. However, vampiric properties remain in your body, and a part of you thirsts to experiment with the depth of your abilities...

Vampirism Ailments

As a creature afflicted with vampirism, you suffer the following ailments:

• You have the following flaws: You can't enter a residence without an clear invitation from one of the occupants, you take 1/4 of your max hp as acid damage if you end your turn in running water and you take 1/4 of your max hp as radiant damage when you start your turn in sunlight.
• Due to your partially undead nature, if a spell or effect would cause you to regain hit points, you regain only half as many hit points if the spell or effect would normally have no effect on undead.

Curse Spells

You gain curse spells at the accursed levels listed in the Vampirism Curse Spells table. See the Spellcasting class feature for how curse spells work.

Vampirism Curse Spells

Accursed Level		Spells
2nd		Find Familiar
5th		Vampire's Kiss
9th		Vampiric Touch
13th		Night Terrors
17th		Blood Purge

Vampiric Physiology

At 1st level, you retain some of the physiological advantages of being a vampire scion. You have darkvision, if you already have darkvision, its range instead increases by 15 feet. You also aren’t visible in mirrors, and you have resistance to necrotic damage.

Additionally, you still have elongated canine fangs and supernatural jaw strength, allowing you to use your bite as a natural weapon. You are proficient with your bite, which is a melee weapon that deals 2d6 piercing damage. You can use Dexterity, instead of Strength, for the attack and damage rolls of your bite.

Scion’s Education

Also at 1st level, you benefit from the formal training you received at your vampire progenitor’s decree. You gain proficiency with longswords, rapiers, and longbows.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Draining Bite

Starting at 3rd level, when you hit a creature with your bite that you have grappled or that is willing, incapacitated, or restrained, your bite deals an additional 1d6 necrotic damage, draining blood and life force from the victim. The target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken this way, and you regain half that many hit points (minimum 1). The reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. Undead and constructs are immune to this feature.

The necrotic damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

Sanguine Glamour

Also at 3rd level, you learn to tap into the vampiric ability to charm. As an action, you can attempt to charm a humanoid within 5 feet of you that you can see and that can see you, as long as it isn’t hostile to you or any of your companions. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by you until the end of your next turn, until you lose concentration (as though concentrating on a spell), or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it. You can use your action on subsequent turns to maintain this effect for an additional round, up to a maximum duration of 1 hour. The charmed creature regards you as a friendly acquaintance for the duration.

Once the condition ends on a creature, or if it succeeds on its saving throw against the effect, it knows you attempted to charm it, potentially becoming hostile, and becomes immune to this feature until you finish a long rest.

Vampiric Strike

Beginning at 5th level, when you take the Attack action on your turn and successfully grapple a creature, you can make a bite attack against that creature this turn as part of the same action.

Additionally, when you take the Attack action on your turn and make only non-bite weapon attacks, you can make an additional non-bite weapon attack as part of the same action.

Crimson Strength

At 11th level, the power you’ve accumulated from all the blood you’ve drunk manifests as physical strength. You have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks you make to grapple.

Additionally, you gain the Wall-Crawling Special Movement.

Caller of Beasts

At 15th level, you learn the Conjure Animals spell. It counts as an accursed spell for you, and doesn’t count against the number of accursed spells you know.

Once, you can cast Conjure Animals without expending spell points. When you cast the spell this way, it doesn’t require concentration, and only swarms of bats, swarms of rats, and wolves can be summoned.

You can use this trait once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest.

Sanguine Ascension

At 20th level, you gain the Flight Attribute, and whenever you deal necrotic damage to a creature that isn’t an undead or construct, you regain hit points equal to half the damage dealt, stealing the target’s life force.

Additionally, when you use your Sanguine Glamour, the target can be any creature that isn’t a construct or undead within 5 feet of you that can see or hear you, and you can maintain the effect for an indefinite period.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Artificer

A graying gnome hunched over his workbench, carefully adjusting the clockwork mechanism that would power his creation. Before him laid an automaton of intricate iron gears within a suit of plate armor, built to resemble a large gnome. As the tiny inventor affixed his signature mithril mustache to the face plate, a jolt of electric-blue magic flashed from the automaton. With a sharp motion, the Steel Defender sat upright and awaited the first command of its creator.

The goblin delicately made his way down the tunnel that he had booby-trapped with vials of noxious fumes and acids. This was the third time this year his clan had moved burrows to avoid being raided by adventuring parties, and the inventive goblin was determined to protect the newest home burrow. He was confident that this time he would stop the adventurers that always seemed to find their way to his home.

A young human woman, wearing a leather apron over her fine clothes, flexed the steel gauntlet she had just enchanted. As she closed her fist the gauntlet let forth a blinding arc of lavender lightning, destroying the table on the opposite side of the room. As the dust settled, she affixed the gauntlet to her now complete suit of Arcane Armor. When she reveled this, her latest creation, to her father, he would have no choice but to finally show her his approval.

Infusing an Object

At the end of a long rest, you can use your tinker's tools, or a set of artisan's tools that you are proficient with, to touch a nonmagical object, imbuing it with one Infusion you know. If the Infusion requires attunement, you can attune the instant you infuse the item, or you can forgo attunement so another creature can attune to it. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must follow the normal attunement process.

The Infusion remains in an item indefinitely. If you die, the Infusion vanishes after a number of days have passed equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 day). Infusions vanish immediately if you give up your knowledge of one to learn another, or imbue the Infusion into another object.

You can infuse more than one nonmagical object at the end of each long rest, up to one for each Infusion you know. You must touch each of the objects, and each Infusion can be in only one object at a time, but, no object can bear more than one Infusion at a time. If you transfer an Infusion to a new object, the previous instance of that Infusion immediately ends, and then the Infusion applies to the new object.

Spellcasting

Using your signature tools and your own special brand of arcane magic, you can produce spell effects from strange and wondrous objects.

Spells Known of 1st Circle and Higher

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the artificer spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Artificer table shows when you learn more spells of your choice from the artificer spell list. Each of these spells must be of a circle for which you can cast. For example, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new artificer spell of either 1st or 2nd-circle.

When you gain a level, you can choose one artificer spell you know and replace it with another spell from the artificer spell list that is of a circle for which you are allowed.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for artificer spells, as your understanding of the theory behind magic to produce spells.

It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you use a bonus action to command it to take another action, or an action from its stat block. If you are incapacitated, the Homunculus can take any action of its choice. If you die, the Homunculus turns to ash.

If it has died within the last hour, you can use an action to revive it by touching it and expending 2 spell points or more. It returns to life with its maximum hit points.

At the end of a long rest, you can make a new Homunculus Servant using your alchemist's supplies. If you already have a Homunculus from this feature, the first one turns to ash.

While the Artificial Mind is awakened within an object, it is considered a magic item that requires attunement, and it can be used as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. If you attempt to rouse a second Artificial Mind while you already have one from this feature, the first Artificial Mind ceases to exist. While attuned to your Artificial Mind, you gain the following abilities:

Magical Telephony. You can communicate telepathically with any creature carrying one of your infused items within a 1-mile radius. The creature can respond telepathically.

It can move and use its reaction on it's own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take the action in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, Help, Hide or Search action. If you are incapacitated, the Defender takes an action of its choice.

If the Steel Defender has died within the last hour, you can use your action to touch it with your smith's tools and expend 2 spell points or more to revive it. The Defender then returns to life with its maximum hit points.

At the end of a long rest, you can create a new Defender using your smith's tools. If you already have a Steel Defender from this feature, the first one immediately perishes.

You can only have one Chronometer at a time, and creating another causes the magic within the first to dissipate.

Your Chronometer has a number of charges equal to twice your Intelligence modifier. It regains all expended charges when you finish a long rest. While your Chronometer is in hand, you can expend a charge to use the following abilities:

Accelerate. As an action, you increase the speed of a creature within 60 feet by a number feet equal to 5 times your Intelligence modifier until the end of their next turn.

Stolen Moments

You have improved your Chronometer so that you can literally save moments in time for later. Beginning at 5th level, when you successfully paralyze, stun, or reduce a creature's movement speed to 0 with a spell or Chronothief ability, your Chronometer regains one of its expended charges.

Also, any of your Chronometer abilities that require an action to use can also be used as a bonus action on your turn.

Accelerate. Opportunity attacks against the target creature have disadvantage until the end of their next turn.

Decelerate. You can spend an additional charge to double the movement speed reduction. If this feature reduces a target's speed to 0, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn.

Slip. You can spend two charges to use this reaction after you know if the triggering attack roll, ability check, or saving throw succeeded or failed.

Warp. You can spend additional charges to increase the range by an additional 30 feet for each charge you expend.

Master Chronothief

You can use this trait once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Weaponized Apparatus

Starting at 3rd level, you weaponize your Musical Apparatus. At the end of a long rest, choose one of the following options:

• Raucous Blast. Your Apparatus can assault creatures with a blast of sound. As an action, make a spell attack against a creature within 60 feet that can hear you. On hit, the creature takes 1d8 thunder damage and is deafened until the start of your next turn. The damage increases by 1d8 at 5th level (2d8), and again at 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
• Ringing Strike. Your Apparatus is a simple weapon with the versatile property, and it deals 1d8 (1d10) bludgeoning damage on hit. You are considered proficient with it, and you can use your Intelligence, in place of Strength, for attack and damage rolls. In addition, you can cast the booming blade cantrip as long as your Apparatus is the material component.### Thunderous Note Beginning at 5th level, when you hit a creature with an attack from your Musical Apparatus, you can expend 2 spell points to knock a Large or smaller target back with a thunderous burst of sound. The creature is knocked back 10 feet for a 1st-circle spell, and an additional 10 feet for each spell circle higher than 1st.

Also, when you deal thunder damage you add your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1) to the damage.

Resonant Frequency

Starting at 9th level, you can use your action to play a note with your Musical Apparatus that causes creature of your choice within 10 feet resonates with undetectable vibrations for 1 hour. The next time that creature is hit with a melee attack, the attacker must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 2d8 thunder damage and can't take reactions until the start of their next turn. On a successful save, the attacker takes half damage.

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

• The damage of Resonant Frequency becomes to 4d8.

Lightsmith

At 1st level, whenever you finish a short rest, you can magically construct one of the following weapons: an aurum blaster, a lux cannon, or a bolt shooter. If you already have a weapon constructed, you must transform that weapon into a new type rather than constructing a new one. After you gain this subclass, the first weapon you construct is free. If you lose your weapon, however, replacing it requires 5,000 New Yen of materials. Transforming your weapon is always free. You are proficient with these weapons, and you use your Intelligence modifier for their attack and damage rolls. They function by channelling your inner magic, and thus cannot be wielded by other creatures. Each of these weapons have the following special property:

Recharge (X). Only X attacks can be made with a weapon that has the recharge property before it needs to be recharged. A weapon can be recharged as a bonus action (even if it still has charges left), but it cannot be recharged on the same turn it is used to make an attack.

The weapons' other properties are detailed in the following table:

The lux cannon's special property is described below:

Special. You do not make attack rolls with this weapon. Instead, your attacks with it shoot blasts of radiant energy that fill a line 5-feet wide and 10-feet long extending from you. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your Artificer spell save DC or take the damage of this weapon.

Empowered Ammunition

At 3rd level, you can temporarily empower the shots of your Lightsmith weapons. When you recharge one of these weapons, you can use this feature by expending spell points. Also, once per long rest you can use this feature without expending spell points, and gain the same effects as if you had used 2 spell points. When you use this feature, the weapon gains one of the following enhanced effects (based on the weapon's type) until it is next recharged:

Aurum Blaster. Attacks made with the weapon deal an extra 2d4 radiant damage if you spend 2 spell points, 3d4 if you spend 3 spell points, 4d4 if you spend 5 spell points, 5d4 if you spend 6 spell points, or 6d4 if you spend 7 spell points or more.

Bolt Shooter. Attacks made with the weapon explode in a burst of light. Hit or miss, the target and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your artificer spell save DC or take 2d6 radiant damage if you spend 2 spell points, 3d6 if you spend 3 spell points, 4d6 if you spend 5 spell points, 5d6 if you spend 6 spell points, or 6d6 if you spend 7 spell points or more.

Lux Cannon. The area of effect of attacks made with the weapon become cones, rather than lines, and any creature that fails its save against this weapon is pushed up to 5 feet away from you, knocked prone, and dealt 1d4 additional radiant damage. The cone's size is equal to the line's length. The damage increases to 2d4 if you spend 3 spell points, 3d4 if you spend 5 spell points, 4d4 if you spend 6 spell points, or 5d4 if you spend 7 spell points or more.

Augmented Armaments

At 5th level, all of your weapons are improved. None of these improvements can be combined with the Extra Attack feature.

Aurum Blaster. The aurum blaster's recharge (4) property is replaced with the recharge (8) property, and you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn and attack only with your aurum blaster.

Bolt Shooter. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make a single attack with your bolt shooter. This attack is made with advantage, and unless this advantage is cancelled out by disadvantage, it deals an additional 1d12 radiant damage on a hit if the lower of the two rolls would also hit the target.

Lux Cannon. The lines created by this weapon have a length of 20 feet, rather than 10 feet, and a creature that succeeds on the save imposed by this weapon takes half damage, rather than none.

Aurum Bombs

At 9th level, you learn how to craft magical explosives, called aurum bombs, that create bursts of blinding light. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can create a number of aurum bombs equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). Unused bombs disappear when you take your next long rest.

As an action, you can throw an aurum bomb at a point you can see within 60 feet of you. The bomb explodes at that point, forcing each creature within a 10-foot radius area to make Dexterity saving throws against your Artificer spell save DC. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d10 radiant damage and is blinded until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and is not blinded.

Radiant Mastery

Starting at 15th level, your Aurum Bombs and Lightsmith Weapons are both improved.

• The damage of your aurum bombs is increased to 4d10.
• Each of your Lightsmith Weapons have an additional damage die, for a total of 2d8 for the Aurum Blaster and Lux Cannon and 2d12 for the Bolt Shooter.
• Whenever you use your Empowered Ammunition feature, you can transform your Lightsmith weapon into another type immediately before recharging it.

Mech Pilot

Mastery of the modern battlefield requires a hybrid approach of technology and magic, and no combat specialist epitomizes this approach better than the Mech Pilot. Armed and armored in an enchanted mobile suit, the battle mech isa flexible weapons platform built to be reconfigurable. This allows it to fit into any tactical situation on evolving battlefields.

The Mech Pilot's bond to their battle mech is critical to their success. The battle mech is attuned to their pilot's magic, and strong fluctuations of that power source can cause instability, desynchronization, and mission failure. However, a Mech Pilot with mind and mech united can become an unstoppable force.

Specialty Spells

You gain specialty spells at the artificer levels listed in the Mech Pilot Spells table. See the Spellcasting class feature for how spells work.

Tools of the Trade

When you adopt the Mech Pilot Specialty at 1st level, you gain proficiency with smith's tools and heavy armor. If you are already proficient with smith's tools, you gain proficiency with another set of artisan's tools of your choice.

Battle Mech

At 1st level, your knowledge of arcane mechanics has allowed you to develop a sophisticated mechanical suit that you pilot into battle. Over the course of a long rest, you can touch your smith's tools to create a battle mech, which functions as a magical suit of medium armor. The armor weighs 200 pounds, which you can ignore while you wear it. This battle mech is only usable by you, and while wearing it you gain the following benefits:

• When you attack with a weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.
• You can use your Battle Mech as a spellcasting focus.

• You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
• You can don or doff your Battle Mech as an action, and can retract or deploy the helmet as a bonus action.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Tactical Assault Array

Starting at 3rd level, you can adjust your armor for a given combat situation. When you create your battle mech, choose one of the following modes: hellion, valkyrie, or titan. The mode you choose gives you special benefits while you wear the battle mech, and determines its properties as armor per the Battle Mech Armor table.

You can change your battle mech's mode whenever you finish a long rest, provided you have tinker's tools in hand.

Hellion. This battle mech mode sacrifices armor and mobility, preferring instead to rain destruction on foes from long range with heavy weaponry. It has the following features:

• You can ignore the massive property on firearms.
• Bombardment. As a bonus action, you can assume a braced firing stance if you are standing on a solid surface. While in this stance, you can use a bonus action to make a ranged weapon attack. Additionally, attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls, your speed becomes 0, you can't be knocked prone, and you cannot be pushed or pulled by any effect. As a bonus action, you can exit this stance.

Valkyrie. This battle mech mode is adept at skirmishing in mobile battlefronts. It has the following feature:

• Blitz. You can Dash or Disengage as a bonus action. When you Dash, you gain the effects of the jump spell until the end of your turn, and if you move at least 10 feet in a straight line straight toward a target before hitting it with a weapon attack, it takes an extra 1d8 lightning damage. You can deal this extra damage only once on each of your turns. This extra damage increases to 2d8 at level 9.

Titan. This battle mech mode is focused on close quarters combat with its ironclad defense. It has the following features:

• You can ignore the two-handed property on a single melee weapon you're holding. Your current and maximum hit points increase by an amount equal to your artificer level.
• Rebuff. When you hit a creature that is no more than two sizes larger than you with a melee weapon attack, you can immediately use a bonus action to force it to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, you can push the creature up to 15 feet away from you.
• Bulwark. When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you, you can use your reaction to move up to half your movement speed. At the end of this movement, if you are within 5 feet of the target of the attack, you can force the attack to target you instead. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.

This mode's AC increases by 1 when you reach 5th level, and again when you reach 9th level.

Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Overdrive

Beginning at 9th level, you can push your battle mech to its limits. As an action, you can activate your battle mech's Overdrive ability, which grants you effects based on its mode, as shown below. This ability requires a loud vocal component. Once you have used a mode's Overdrive ability, you cannot use that mode's Overdrive ability again until you have finished a long rest.

• Hellion. You gain advantage on your ranged weapon attacks for 1 minute.
• Valkyrie. You cast the Haste spell on yourself without verbal, somatic, or material components and without requiring your concentration.
• Titan. You cast the Enlarge/reduce spell on yourself without verbal, somatic, or material components and without requiring your concentration. While you are under the effect of the spell, you gain temporary hit points equal to your artificer level at the end of each turn. When you use your Rebuff feature against a target, you can deal 1d6 thunder damage to every target of your choice within 10 feet of it.

Air Supremacy

Beginning at 15th level, your battle mech can take to the skies and unleash its full potential. You have a flying speed equal to your current walking speed.

Additionally, your battle mech gains benefits based on its mode, as shown below.

• Hellion. When you hit a target with a ranged weapon attack, you can deal an extra 1d4 cold, fire, lightning or thunder damage (your choice) to that target.
• Valkyrie. When you use your Blitz feature, you instead deal an extra 1d8 lightning damage for every 10 feet you move in a straight line straight toward a target before hitting it with a weapon attack, to a maximum of 4d8.
• Titan. When you use your Rebuff feature to push a creature away from you, you can instead choose to knock them prone.

Specialty Spells

You gain specialty spells at the artificer levels listed in the Wandslinger Spells table. See the Spellcasting class feature for how spells work.

Master Wandslinger

You have become a master Wandslinger. Starting at 15th level, your Arcane Sidearm improves in the following ways:

• When you use your action to cast a spell, you can make an attack with your Arcane Sidearm as a bonus action.
• Your Sidearm gains the benefits of all three Spellcraft Runes, but you can only activate one per bonus action.
• Once per short rest when you cast a spell using your Sidearm as your spellcasting focus, you can change the damage dealt by the spell to force damage.

Channeler

The pallid half-elf muttered an incantation under his breath, and his shadow came alive, taking the form of a massive wolf. The dark beast pounced on the foolish bandit that had attacked them, and pinned him to the ground. The half-elf chanted another incantation, and orbs of pulsing acidic energy formed in his hands. The bandit let out a piercing cry, filled with regret, as he struggled in vain to break free from the shadow wolf. The scream would be his last, as the blast of arcane acid washed over him. As the grass and trees smoldered from the great dragon's fiery blast, the smoke cleared to reveal a young human man.

His clothes had been scorched away and revealed patches of golden scales across his body. His eyes flashed with a glint of gold and white jets of flame burst forth from his fingertips.

The great wyrm reeled from the unexpected impact, and as it fell from the sky, the terrible beast wondered how this pathetic mortal had come to wield power that rivaled that of a true dragon.

The young halfling ducked into an alleyway, tucking the stolen loaf of bread under her cloak. Back in the market, chaos had broken out. She had attempted a simple enchantment, just enough to convince the baker to give her a loaf for free, but her magic had other plans.

Magic Made Manifest

Whether born with a spark of innate arcane potential within them, or gifted their inner spark of magic by a powerful entity, channelers at their core are walking incarnations of magical potential. Channelers are a rare occurrence amongst mortals, and their innate power often leads to them being the center of attention. However, this power does have its downsides, and when not used, it finds ways to spill out into the world.

Often, the magic within a channeler is what motivates them to adventure. Some are seeking out others who also wield these powers, and others look to master their innate ability.

Innate Arcane Power

Magic is an integral part of the life of any channeler, suffusing their body, mind, and soul. For some, this power is inherited from a bloodline that carries the magic of a powerful being. Others manifest their power randomly, having it burst forth in unexpected ways. The appearance of power is unpredictable, some bloodlines producing a channeler once a generation, and in others, each descendant has channeling potential.

Whatever their origins, channelers have no use for the spellbooks. They themselves are the source of their power, and they can harness their power to produce overwhelming feats of magic.

Creating Your Channeler

The most important question to consider when creating your channeler is the origin of your power. As a starting character, you'll choose a channeler aspect from the options detailed in the class description, but the exact source of your power is up to you to decide. Is it a family curse, passed down to you from distant ancestors? Or did some extraordinary event leave you blessed with inherent magic but perhaps scarred as well?

Class Features

As an channeler, you gain the following class features.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your channeler spells, so you use Charisma when a spell refers to your spellcasting ability, when setting the saving throw DC for a spell, or when you make a spell attack roll for one of your channeler spells.

Dynamic Presence

Your power manifests through your personality. You gain proficiency in either Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion. If you are already proficient in that skill, you gain proficiency in another skill of your choice from the channeler skill list. Whenever you make an ability check with that skill, you can spend 1 sorcery point to grant yourself advantage on the roll.

You can select this manifestation more than once, but you must select a different skill proficiency each time.

Elemental Spell

Empowered Spell

After you roll the damage for a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to re-roll a number of the damage dice up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1), and use the new rolls. You can use this ability even if you have already used a different manifestation ability during the casting of the spell.

Kinetic Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a target to make a Strength or Dexterity saving throw, you can spend 2 sorcery points to have the saving throw target the other ability score instead.

This ability only changes the initial saving throw. Any subsequent saving throws target the original ability score.

Magical Guidance

You can tap into your arcane spark to try and turn failure into success. When you fail an ability check, you can use your reaction to spend 2 sorcery points to re-roll the d20. You must use the new d20 roll, potentially turning it into a success.

Shielded Spell

When you cast a spell while you are within the area of effect of that spell, you can expend 2 additional sorcery points to ignore the effects of that spell.

Silent Spell

When you cast a spell, you can expend 1 additional sorcery point to cast a version of the spell that produces no sound. You must still speak the verbal components of the spell aloud, this manifestation only removes the sound of the spell itself.

Sorcerous Fortitude

As an action, you can spend a number of sorcery points to fortify your physical form. For each sorcery point you expend you gain 1d4 temporary hit points. The maximum number of sorcery points you can spend as part of this ability is equal to your proficiency bonus.

Subtle Spell

When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to cast it without providing any of the somatic or verbal components.

Twinned Spell

When you cast a spell with only one target, that doesn't have a range of self, you can spend sorcery points equal to the spell's level (minimum of 1) to target a second target within range.

If you roll a 1, the spell fails to manifest. However, only the 3 sorcery points you spent to use this ability are wasted.

Channeler Aspect

At 1st level, an channeler chooses their Channeler Aspect, each of which is detailed below.

Arcane Prodigy

From your first attempt at casting a spell, you displayed an exceptional aptitude for magic. Since that time, the more you tried to learn magic through rote memorization and practiced study, the less your innate talent shone through. Channelers who are arcane prodigies eventually discover it's better to let their natural genius guide their magic than relying on an academic understanding.

Arcane prodigies don’t abandon the attempt to understand magic on a methodical level, but their prodigious talent for spellcasting relies on their unconscious grasp of the mystic laws that underpin all of existence.

Arcane Extrapolation

Starting at 1st level, you can extrapolate from your understanding of the mystic to cast a spell you don’t know. The spell must be of a circle you can cast and you must expend sorcery points to cast the spell. If the spell isn't from the channeler list, it counts as a channeler spell for you for this casting.

You can use this feature once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest.

Rare Genius

At 1st level, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill and Intelligence saving throws.

In addition, you can choose to use Intelligence, instead of Charisma, as your channeler spellcasting ability. If you choose to use Intelligence, all channeler features and Arcane Manifestations options that reference your Charisma ability modifier use your Intelligence modifier instead. You must make this choice when you gain this feature.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Manifestation Prodigy

At 6th level, you gain a pool of prodigy points equal to half your level in this class. You can spend prodigy points instead of sorcery points to activate Arcane Manifestations options. You regain all expended prodigy points when you finish a long rest.

Dynamic Manifestations

At 14th level, you learn an additional Arcane Manifestations option.

In addition, when you finish a long rest, you can choose one of your Arcane Manifestations options and replace it with another Arcane Manifestations option.

Stroke of Genius

Starting at 18th level, you experience moments of magical clarity that bring solutions just when you were out of options. You can use a bonus action on your turn to have a flash of magical genius. When you do, you regain all expended prodigy points, and the use of your Arcane Extrapolation if you’ve already used it.

You can use this feature once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Divine Right

Once a generation a divinely chosen ruler is born amongst the people. Some cults and countries seek out these blessed

rulers, trusting the gods to select their leader. However, these channelers pose a threat to those currently in power and are often persecuted by less scrupulous monarchs and rulers.

As a channeler of Divine Right, you have been granted great power, but with that power comes responsibility. Will you lead the your people to destruction or into a new golden age?

Aspect Spells

You gain aspect spells at the channeler levels listed in the Royal Spells table. They count as channeler spells for you, but they don't count against your total number of Spells Known. See the Spellcasting class feature for how spells work.

Whenever you gain a level, you can replace one spell from this feature with another conjuration or enchantment spell of the same level from the justiciar, occultist, or accursed spell list.

Words of Authority

Beginning at 6th level, when you cast an enchantment spell that target's a creature within 5 feet that can see and hear you, you can impose disadvantage on it's saving throw.

You can use this feature once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest.

Words of Vigor

Your voice uplifts the weary. Starting at 6th level, when you target a friendly creature with a spell of 1st-circle or higher, they gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1), in addition to the spell's effects.

Infuse Elements

Starting at 6th level, you gain resistance to the damage type associated with your heritage.

Additionally, when you damage a creature with a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to enhance it with the power of your heritage element. The spell takes on a visual cast that reflects the elemental infusion (fire and embers dance in the area, wind swirls around a bolt of energy, and so forth) and delivers the following additional effects depending on your heritage:

Elemental Jaunt

At 14th level, as a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. When you appear, you can create one of the following effects, depending on your heritage element:

• Emberheart. When you appear within 5 feet of a fire at least the size of a campfire, you create a burst of flame around yourself. Each creature within 10 feet must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 fire damage and catch on fire.

A choking creature can’t speak and has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of your next turn. Creatures that don’t have to breathe or that can breathe water aren't subject to choking.

Saving throws against these effects are made against your spell save DC. You can use this feature twice. You regain all expended uses when you finish a short rest.

Elemental Soul

At 18th level, you gain immunity to the damage type associated with your heritage element. Depending on your elemental heritage, you also gain one of the following benefits:

• Emberheart. Your speed increases by 10 feet. Additionally, during your turn you can spend 1 sorcery point to become fiery and insubstantial. Until the start of your next turn, you can move through a hostile creature’s space. The first time you enter a creature’s space on a turn, that creature takes 1d10 fire damage and catches on fire. Until a creature takes an action to douse the fire, a creature on fire takes 1d10 fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

When you enter a hostile creature’s space, the creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or fall prone.

Faeblood

Every so often, a mortal catches the attention of a powerful lord or lady of the Fey. Often the object of affection or the offspring of this relationship is gifted arcane power beyond that of most mortal beings. However, these infatuations are often short-lived, and the mortals are left to learn to use their power with little supervision or instruction. Weather you were born of such a relationship, grew up near a Crossroads, or were chosen by a powerful Fey creature, you have been blessed with the changing and chaotic power of the Feywild.

Heartsight

Starting at 1st level, your magic heightens your empathic abilities. You gain proficiency in Insight, and you add double your proficiency bonus to any Wisdom (Insight) checks.

In addition, you can use an action to touch a creature and make a Wisdom (Insight) check, contested by the target’s Charisma (Deception) check. If you succeed, you learn the creatures alignment. You automatically succeed on this check when targeting a celestial, fiend, or undead. Creatures are unaware that you attempted to read their heart.

Aspect Spells

Intoxicating Presence

You have the presence of an Archfey. Upon reaching 18th level, you emanate an aura of intoxicating charm in a 15-foot radius. Creatures of your choice within the aura are immune to the charmed condition, and when you force a creature within the aura to make a saving throw to resist the effects of an enchantment spell, they have disadvantage on their roll.

Hellspawn

Most mortals who wield the powers of the hells do so under strict contracts with devils and Archdevils. However, some cultists and other mortals draw upon more chaotic infernal power become Hellspawn. Though not always evil, Hellspawn fueled by the chaotic and dangerous magic of the Abyss.

How did you come to be the bearer of this hellish power?

Were your parents cultists that dedicated you at birth, or did you acquire this sinister power through your own choices?

PART 2 | CLASSES

Storm of Blades

You are a god of destruction in battle. Starting at 18th level, you can use your action to destroy your Blade of Strife in an explosion of arcane iron shards. Creatures within 20 feet must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d8 magical slashing damage on a failure, and half as much on a success.

Nanite Host

Whether by accident or design, your body is host to a colony of magical nanobots, called nanites. By drawing on their energy, you can command your power and compel the nanite swarm to do your bidding.

Nano-Machine Clone

By 6th level, you can expend 22 sorcery points as an action to create a duplicate of yourself made from nanites. If you spend an additional 10 sorcery points, you imbue this clone duplicate with illusory magic, causing it to be indistinguishable from any humanoid you choose. The duplicate has the statistics of a commoner, but is an construct instead of a humanoid. Additionally, it is formed with simulated clothing and equipment; this equipment is nonfunctional and melts if it is not worn or carried by the clone.

The clone is friendly to you and creatures you designate. It obeys your spoken commands, moving and acting in accordance with your wishes, acting on your turn in combat.

The clone lasts for 24 hours or until it drops to 0 hit points, at which point it collapses into a large puddle.

Mind-Machine Interface

At 14th level, you develop a neural interface through which you can communicate with, and, to some extent, control your nanite symbiotes. You can speak the native code-language of machines, which you can use to interact with arcane terminals and ship computers from up to 60 feet away and to communicate with constructs, even if you don't share a language. Additionally, you can instantly decipher any encrypted messages you encounter.

Lastly, you can use your action to lock a machine or magical device that you touch, so that only you can access it.

Devices remain locked for up to 1 day, and you can have up to 3 locked devices at one time.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Reboot

When you reach 18th level, your nanites enable you to reset yourself quickly after being knocked unconscious, and help you to store your memories so they can't be tampered with. When you regain consciousness after dropping to 0 hit points, you immediately regain all of your hit points. You can use this feature once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Furthermore, you are immune to any spell or ability that would alter your memory or personality.

Nuclear

The atom is the building block of the universe. Locked inside is a limitless font of power, waiting to be unleashed. Many who have bathed in the deadly embrace of radiation have crumbled, but some select few of the survivors may find themselves irrevocably altered. A channeler tainted by radiation can become a nuclear powerhouse, so long as they can avoid melting down.

Aspect Spells

You gain aspect spells at the channeler levels listed in the Nuclear Spells table. They count as channeler spells for you, but they don't count against your total number of Spells Known. See the Spellcasting class feature for how spells work.

Whenever you gain a level, you can replace one spell from this feature with another spell of your choice that deals radiant damage from any spell list.

Radiation Spells

Channeler Level		Spells
1st		Flash, Starlight Shroud
3th		Soulstrike, Ultraviolet Pulse
5th		Daylight, Radiant Beam
7th		Field of Stars, Radiant Deathflare
9th		Halo, Nullifying Cloak

Reactor

At 1st level, whenever you deal cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage, you can replace the damage type with radiant damage.

In addition, you gain resistance to radiant damage and have advantage on saving throws against being irradiated.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Radioactive

Starting at 1st level, your body is saturated with harmful residual radiation. You can use your action to activate or suppress a radioactive aura. While active, your body glows with a bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet.

Additionally, each creature which comes within 5 feet of you or starts its turn in that area takes 1d6 radiant damage. At 6th level, this damage increases to 1d8, and at 14th level, this damage increases to 1d10.

Fallout

At 6th level, your magic carries traces of withering radiation. Once per turn, when you cast a spell of 1st-circle or higher on your turn, you can cause one creature targeted by the spell to make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target suffers one level of irradiated, to a maximum of level 3.

Quantum Jump

At 14th level, as a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Immediately after you disappear, a wave of radiation spreads within a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on the space you left for 1 minute. When a creature moves into the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, that creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d10 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Isotope Poisoning

At 18th level, as an action, you can spend 3 sorcery points to bombard a creature you touch with a near lethal amount of radioactivity. At the beginning of each of the target’s turns, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target is poisoned until the beginning of its next turn and takes 4d10 radiant damage. If a target fails three times, it remains poisoned for one hour, and takes 1d10 radiant damage at the beginning of each of its turns. If it succeeds three times, this effect ends.

You can teleport to this location over any distance as long as both you and it are on the same plane of existence. If the location is mobile, such as a boat or wagon, you can't familiarize yourself with it enough to use this feature.

You can be familiar with a number of locations equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). You can choose to forget a location (no action required) to make room for familiarizing yourself with a new location.

You can teleport creatures with this feature a number of times per day equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Dimensional Ambler

Starting at 18th level, you can use an action to transport yourself and a number of willing creatures equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) within 30 feet of you and that you can see to the Astral Plane or to the Ethereal Plane. While you are on these planes, you and the creatures you transported can move normally, but each transported creature must stay within 60 feet of you. You can choose to return all of you to the Material Plane at any time as a bonus action.

You can use this trait once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

True Vampirism

The dark magic of undeath is a path to great power for those who are willing to pay the price. Many of the most powerful undead creatures will grant their followers a portion of their dark sorcery in return for their service. Evil vampires, long dead mummy lords, and sinister liches have all been known to curse their most loyal followers with sorcerous abilities.

What have you sacrificed to gain this sinister sorcery? Are you sworn in service to a dark lord or a creature of undeath?

Aspect Spells

You gain aspect spells at the channeler levels listed in the True Vampirism Spells table. They count as channeler spells for you, but they don't count against your total number of Spells Known. See the Spellcasting class feature for how spells work.

Whenever you gain a level, you can replace one spell from this feature with another necromancy or blood magic spell of the same circle from the any spell list.

True Vampirism Spells

Channeler Level		Spells

PART 2 | CLASSES

Blood Magic

Starting at 1st level, whenever you cast a Channeler spell or use a Channeler class feature, you can expend your own hit points in place of Sorcery Points by expending two hit points for each Sorcery Point you would have spent. When you do so, your current and your maximum hit points are reduced by the number of hit points you spend. This hit point reduction cannot be lessened in any way. Any reduction to your maximum hit points from this feature lasts until the end of your next long rest, at which point it returns to normal.

Moreover, when you slay a creature with a Channeler spell of 1st-circle or higher, you gain temporary hit points equal to the level at which the spell was cast. Any temporary hit points can be used in place of your current hit points (but not your maximum hit points) for your Blood Magic spellcasting.

Vampiric Nature

Also at 1st level, your vampiric power comes at significant cost, you gain the following strengths:

• Darkvision. For 30 ft around you, you can see in dim light as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of grey. Beyond 30 ft, you can't see in darkness.
• Imperfect Undeath. You transitioned into undeath, but your transition was imperfect. Though you are a humanoid, you are susceptible to effects that target undead. You can regain hit points from spells like cure wounds, but you can also be affected by game effects that specifically target undead, such as a cleric's Turn Undead feature. Also, you no longer age, cast shadows, or reflections, and you don't need to eat, drink or breathe.
     Finally, Unlike most undead however, you do need to sleep. When you take a long rest, you must spend at least two hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. Some vampires prefer to stand up straight or to hang vertically. In this state, you appear asleep, but it doesn't render you unconscious, and you can perceive as normal. Additionally if any part of your body has been severed it regrows after 2 minutes in this state.
• Night Stalker. You gain the Wall-Crawling Special Movement.

And the following weakness:

• Forbiddance. You can't enter a residence without an verbal invitation from one of the occupants.
• Harmed by Running Water. You take acid damage equal to a third of your maximum hit points if you end your turn in running water.
• Stake to the Heart. If a piercing weapon made of wood is driven into your heart while you are incapacitated, you are paralyzed until the stake is removed. If it driven while you are paralyzed you die instantly.
• Sunlight Hypersensitivity. You take radiant damage, which can't be reduced in any way, equal to a third of your maximum health when you start your turn in direct sunlight. While in direct sunlight, you have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Undead Resilience

At 6th level, you gain resistance to both necrotic and poison damage, and you immune to the poisoned condition.

Also, when you have temporary hit points from your Blood Magic feature, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from non-magical, non-silvered, attacks.

Vampiric Mastery

At 18th level, you have mastered the sinister blood magic within your soul. When you deal necrotic damage to a target with a Channeler spell of 1st-circle or higher, you gain temporary hit points equal to the necrotic damage.

These temporary hit points can also be used in place of your current hit points for your Blood Magic Spellcasting.

Gunslinger

A glass falls, clattering to the floor, and the tavern grows silent. A dwarf with a deep scowl, dripping with freshly spilled beer, leers at a drunken nearby orc and fingers for a pair of revolvers at his waist.

High on a hillside, carefully concealed beneath foliage and stones, a rifleman steadies her breathing and adjusts her scope, acquiring her target and patiently awaiting the moment to strike.

Risk is in a gunslinger's blood. They are bold renegades, bucking tradition and forging a new path with dangerous and inelegant firearms. Gunslingers are infamous for surviving by their wits, relying on split-second timing and a considerable amount of luck to survive.

Creating Your Gunslinger

When creating your gunslinger, consider where firearms fit in the campaign's world and what the common perceptions are of those who use them. If firearms are the norm, your gunslinger might be a mercenary or militia fighter. If firearms are rare, your gunslinger might be one of a kind, a trailblazer in new types of warfare.

It's also not unusual for a gunslinger to be haunted by their past. Did some event drive you to the gun and motivate you to travel? Is there a bounty on your head in one or more areas? Do you have any old enemies that seek you for revenge?

Class Features

As an Gunslinger, you gain the following class features.

Critical Shot

At 3rd level, your ranged firearm attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Starting at 9th level, your ranged firearm attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18–20, and at 17th level your ranged firearm attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 17–20.

Until the creature uses its action to dislodge the bullet, it moves at half speed and has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks. Elementals, oozes, and undead are immune to this effect.

Evasion

Beginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an ice storm spell. 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.

Mankiller

Starting at 11th level, when you make one or more firearm attacks as part of an action, you can add your ability modifier to the firearm's damage rolls. Note that firearms do not normally add your ability modifier to their damage rolls.

Maverick

By 18th level, you have become unshakable. You have advantage on Constitution checks and saving throws.

Head Shot

Otherwise, it takes an extra 10d10 damage from the hit. Elementals, oozes, undead, and creatures that lack nervous systems or vital organs take no extra damage from this feature.

You can use this feature once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest.

Gun Tank

Restriction: Strength score 15 or Higher

Be bigger, be badder, and be tougher, and no man will stand in your way. You are a living siege engine, a titan of muscle, brandishing weapons most men are incapable of lifting. Armed with these devastating firearms, you wade into the field of battle, bombarding and destroying those foolish enough to approach you.

Strong as an Ox

For the next minute, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage and can make one additional attack whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. However, for the duration, your speed is halved and you have disadvantage on Dexterity checks and saving throws.

Your gun rage ends if you take cover, finish your turn without attacking, or use your bonus action to end it early.

You can use this feature once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest.

Gun-Ko Master

The ancient art of gun-ko is passed through generations of gunslingers who study the gun as a perfect weapon and meditate on its intricacies.

This path is not for the impatient or the faint of heart, but those who practice it diligently make their guns an extension of themselves, learning to strike with the speed of a rifle and catch bullets out of the air.

Point-Blank Shot

When you choose this archetype at 1st level, being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls made with firearms.

PART 2 | CLASSES

Gun-Ko

At 3rd level, you learn the immortal art of gun-ko, which sees the gun as a total weapon, as devastating used as a melee weapon in close quarters as it is fired at range. You can treat firearms as melee weapons with the Finesse property that deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a hit, or 1d8 damage if the firearm has the Two-Handed property.

Additionally, when you make a ranged weapon attack with a firearm against a creature within 5 feet of you, you can make a melee weapon attack using that firearm as a bonus action.

Lightning Disarm

You must have at least one empty hand to use this ability.

You gain the benefits of the Dodge action against the target's ranged attacks and effects until the start of your next turn. You lose this benefit if you take damage from the target.

Gatling Strikes

By 14th level, you have mastered the most advanced techniques of gun-ko. You can use your bonus action to make two melee weapon attacks and one ranged weapon attack with a firearm against targets within 15 feet of you.

You can use this feature once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short rest.

Grenadier

You believe that virtually all problems can be solved with the careful application of high-explosives, and will go to great lenghts to prove this thesis. Demolitions are your expertise, and anything that acn cause explosions at long range is your instrument. If you must, you can make do with an ordinary gun, but its simple not as satisfying as blowing your enemies into smithereens.

Heavy Ordinance

Starting at 1st level, weapons with the Explosive property use you Deed save DC, if it would be higher.

Additionally, starting at 5th level, once per turn when you hit a target with an attack from a firearm that has the Explosive property, yo can deal an additional 1d8 damage to that target.

Clusterbomb

By 14th level, you can load and fire a special projectile that is packed tight with smaller explosives which scatter on impact. You can load and fire this projectile as an action; the projectile's range is determined by the weapon that fires it. When the clusterbomb lands, it explodes in a 20-foot radius. Each creature within the blast radius must make a Dexterity saving throw with disadvantage against your Deed save DC, or take 10d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

You can use this feature once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
