ECHOES - A D&D 5e Roleplay [Compendium]

Pahn · Sep 10, 2018

Campaign Details

x

This roleplay campaign will be 100% homebrew, with recognizable elements found in the books. Your characters will travel to places never seen before, or maybe they will stumble into eerily familiar worlds that leave you with a sense of deja-vu.

The story seems to begin in the Forgotten Realms. There is a guild which can be found in nearly all cities worth a name on the map, where adventurers can go to in order to find work. Named

Steelsong Legacy

after its Bard forefather who earned the highest praises from a long-dead king, the guild members range from regular monster hunters to treasure gatherers, to artisans and merchants. Once you become a member, you cannot leave the guild - it is a lifetime contract. Members are called Steelsingers.

All player characters are members of this guild. Why they are, how it came to be, or what their goals are is entirely up to you.

While it appears to be an elite guild, it is in fact not that popular. Signing up for one's entire life is a tad dreadful for some folks, and there are public lists of the guild members. Your characters will perhaps not know each other personally, but they will all recognize each other to some degree as being Steelsingers - either with physical recognition or with name recognition.

Class: Barbarian

x

Barbarian

Barbarians are fearsome warriors who rely on their instincts and their rage to propel them to victory. What they may lack in grace and finesse, they more than make up for in overwhelming strength and unrelenting endurance.

Class Features:

Hit Points:
- Hit Dice:
  1d12 per Barbarian level
- Hit Points at 1st Level:
  12 + your Constitution modifier
- Hit Points at Higher Levels:
  Add 7 + your Constitution modifier per Barbarian level after 1st

Proficiencies:
- Armor:
  Light armor, medium armor, shields
- Weapons:
  Simple weapons, martial weapons
- Tools:
  None
- Saving Throws:
  Strength, Constitution
- Skills:
  Choose two from Animal Handline, Athletics, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, and Survival

Equipment:
- Weapon 1:
  A greataxe or any one martial melee weapon
- Weapon 2:
  Two handaxes or any one simple weapon
- Other Gear:
  An explorer's pack and 4 javelins

Additional Features:
- Rage:
  As a bonus action, you can enter a rage. As long as you aren't wearing heavy armor you gain the following benefits: advantage on Strength checks and saving throws, bonus rage damage on all melee attacks that hit (+2, upgrades to +3 at Barbarian level 9), and resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. You cannot cast spells while raging. Your rage lasts for 1 minute, or until you are knocked unconscious or end a turn without attacking an enemy or taking damage since your last turn or end it with a bonus action. You can enter a rage 3 times a day (upgrades to 4 at Barbarian level 6) and must finish a long rest to restore that energy.
- Unarmored Defense:
  While you aren't wearing any armor, your Armor Class is 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still benefit from this feature.
- Reckless Attack:
  You can disregard defense to attack with greater ferocity. When making your first attack on your turn you can decide to attack recklessly. This gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength for this turn, but all attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.
- Danger Sense:
  Your instincts give you a higher awareness of danger. You have advantage on Dexterity throws against any effects that you can see, including traps and spells. You can't use this feature if you're blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.
- Primal Path:
  Choose a Primal Path, detailed below in Archetypes. Your choices are Path of the Berserker, Path of the Totem Warrior, Path of the Ancestral Guardian, Path of the Storm Herald, and Path of the Zealot.
- Ability Score Improvement:
  At Barbarian level 4, increase one ability score by 2 or two different ability scores by 1, up to a maximum of 20. Alternatively, don't improve ability scores and choose one Feat. You can do this again at Barbarian level 8.
- Extra Attack:
  At Barbarian level 5, whenever you use your action to attack on your turn you can hit twice with your weapon instead of just once.
- Fast Movement:
  At Barbarian level 5, your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing heavy armor.
- Feral Instinct:
  At Barbarian level 7, your instincts are so honed that you have advantage on initiative rolls. Also, if you're surprised at the beginning of combat but aren't incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter rage before doing anything else that turn.
- Brutal Critical:
  At Barbarian level 9, when you get a critical hit with a melee weapon role one additional weapon damage die to determine the extra damage.

Archetypes:
- Path of the Berserker:
  The path of unfettered fury and carnage.
  - Frenzy:
    When you rage, you can choose to go into a frenzy. If you do, for the duration of the frenzied rage you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action (starting next turn due to rage activation requiring your bonus action). When your frenzied rage ends you suffer one level of exhaustion (table for exhaustion found in Player's Handbook Appendix A).
  - Mindless Rage:
    At Barbarian level 6, you can't be charmed or frightened while raging. If you are charmed or frightened when you enter your rage, the effect is suspended until your rage ends.
  - Intimidating Presence:
    At Barbarian level 10, you can use an action to frighten someone with your menacing presence. When doing so choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you; if that creature can see or hear you it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. On following turns you can use your action to maintain this effect for another turn. This effect ends when the affected target ends its turn out of line of sight or more than 60 feet away from you. If the creature succeeds on the saving throw, you can't use this feature on that creature again for 24 hours.
- Path of the Totem Warrior:
  The path of spiritual guidance.
  - Spirit Seeker:
    Your attunement with the natural world gives you kinship with beasts. You gain the ability to cast the Beast Sense and Speak With Animal spells, but only as rituals (as described in chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook).
  - Totem Spirit:
    Choose a totem spirit and gain its feature. You must create a physical totem object, such as an amulet, that incorporates parts of your chosen totem spirit (fur, claws, feathers, bones, etc). You may also choose to take on physical aspects of this totem spirit (extra hair and thick skin like a bear, yellow eyes like an eagle, etc). You make choose an animal similar to one of the following options and take that as your totem spirit instead for flavor.
    - Bear:
      While raging you have resistance to all types of damage except psychic.
    - Eagle:
      While you're raging and not wearing heavy armor, opportunity attacks against you have disadvantage and you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn.
    - Wolf:
      While you're raging your allies have advantage on melee attacks against any hostile creature within 5 feet of you.
  - Aspect of the Beast:
    At Barbarian level 7, gain a magical benefit based on the totem animal of your choice. You can choose the same animal as your Totem Spirit or a different one, and again you may choose a relatively similar animal as a replacement for flavor.
    - Bear:
      Your carrying capacity is doubled and you have advantage on Strength checks to push, pull, lift, or break objects.
    - Eagle:
      You can see up to 1 mile away with no difficulty, able to make out fine details as if it was no more than 100 feet away. Dim light does not impose disadvantage on your sight based Wisdom (Perception) checks.
    - Wolf:
      You can track other creatures without trouble while moving at a fast pace, and you can move stealthily while traveling at a normal walking speed.
  - Spirit Walker:
    At Barbarian level 10, you can cast the Commune With Nature spell, but only as a ritual. When you do, a spiritual version of one of your animal guides appears to convey the information you seek.
- Path of the Ancestral Guardian:
  The path of revered ancestors.
  - Ancestral Protectors:
    When you enter a rage, spectral warriors appear around you. These warriors target the first enemy you hit on each of your turns while the rage lasts and hinders their actions. Until the start of your next turn, that creature has disadvantage on attack rolls made on anyone that is not you and everyone but you hit by their attacks has resistance to that damage. This effect ends early if your rage ends.
  - Spirit Shield:
    At Barbarian level 6, your guardian spirits protect those your choose to defend. If you are raging and another creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6. This improves to 3d6 at Barbarian level 10.
  - Consult the Spirits:
    At Barbarian level 10, you can consult with your ancestral spirits. When you do, cast the Augury or Clairvoyance spell (without using any spell slots or material components). Rather than creating a sensor, using Clairvoyance this way invisibly summons one of your ancestral spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells. You cannot use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
- Path of the Storm Herald:
  The path of primal magic drawn from the forces of nature.
  - Storm Aura:
    A stormy aura emanates from you while you rage, extending 10 feet from you in all directions but not passing through total cover. Choose one of the following options for your aura to be its effect; you can change your selection once each time you gain a Barbarian level. The aura's effect activates when you enter your rage and on following turns you can use your bonus action to activate it again, as long as the rage lasts. If your aura's effect requires a saving throw, the DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.
    - Desert:
      All other creatures in your aura take 2 fire damage each. This damage increases to 3 at 5th level and 4 at 10th level.
    - Sea:
      Choose one other creature you can see in your aura's range. That target must make a Dexterity saving throw. They take 1d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half that on a successful one. The damage increases to 2d6 at 10th level.
    - Tundra:
      Each creature of your choice in your aura gains 2 temporary hit points as icy spirits protect them. This increases to 3 hit points at 5th level and 4 at 10th level.
  - Storm Soul:
    At Barbarian level 6, the storm grants you benefits even when you aren't raging. You gain the benefit of the environment currently chosen for your Storm Aura.
    - Desert:
      You gain resistance to fire damage and aren't affected by extreme heat. As an action you can touch a flammable object that isn't being worn or carried by anyone else and set it on fire.
    - Sea:
      You gain resistance to lightning damage and can breathe underwater. You can also swim faster than usual.
    - Tundra:
      You gain resistance to cold damage and aren't affected by extreme cold. As an action you can touch water and turn a 5 foot cube of it into ice, which melts after 1 minute. This doesn't work if a creature is inside the chosen cube of water.
  - Shielding Storm:
    At Barbarian level 10, your power over the storm can shield others. Each creature of your choice has the damage resistance you gained from Storm Soul while that creature is within the range of your active Storm Aura.
- Path of the Zealot:
  The path of divine punishment.
  - Divine Fury:
    While raging you can channel divine power into your weapon strikes. The first creature you hit with a weapon on each turn while raging takes extra damage equal to 1d6 + half your Barbarian level. This damage type is either radiant or necrotic; you choose one based on your chosen deity, and it cannot be changed later.
  - Warrior of the Gods:
    Your soul is marked by your god for endless battle. If a spell is cast on you that has the sole effect of restoring you to life, like Raise Dead, the caster doesn't need to use any material components for the spell. This does not work for Necromancy spells that would raise you into undeath.
  - Fanatical Focus:
    At Barbarian level 6, your divine power protects you. While raging, if you fail a saving throw you can reroll and must use the new result. This feature can only be used once per rage.
  - Zealous Presence:
    At Barbarian level 10, you can channel your divine zealotry into others. As a bonus action, you let out a battle cry full of divine energy. Up to 10 creatures of your choice within 60 feet that can hear you gain advantage on attack rolls and saving throws until the start of your next turn. You can't use this feature again until you complete a short or long rest.

While charmed this way, the target idolizes you, speaks glowlingly on your behalf, and hinders anyone who opposes you (though they avoid violence unless they were already inclined to fight on your behalf before being charmed). This effect ends after 1 hour, if the affected creature takes damage, or if the affected creature sees you attack one of its allies. If a target succeeds on the saving throw, they have no idea you tried to charm them. Once you use this feature you cannot use it again until you coplete a short or long rest.

At the end of the conversation the target must succed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be frightened of you or another creature of your choice. The target is frightened this way for 1 hour, until it is attacked or takes damage, or until it witnesses its allies being attacked or damaged.

Once you capture a shadow with this feature, you can't capture another one with it until you finish a short or long rest.

Class: Cleric

x

Cleric

Clerics are priests of their chosen god who are imbued with divine magic. They take many forms, from powerful healers to divine warriors to learned scholars, but they are all formidable in their own right.

Additional Features:
- Spellcasting:
  See Cleric chart for number of spell slots available. You begin with 3 Cleric cantrips known and gain another at Cleric levels 4 and 10. Rather than being able to call upon all known spells at a given time, you prepare a limited list of spells from the Cleric spell list that you can use until you take the time to change that list (which you can do at the end of any long rest). You can have a number of spells prepared equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Cleric level. They must be spells of a level for which you have spell slots. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for Cleric spells. Your spell save DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. Your spell attack modifier is your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
- Divine Domain:
  Choose one domain related to your deity, detailed below in Archetypes. Your choices are Forge, Grave, Knowledge, Life, Light, Nature, Tempest, Trickery, or War. Domain spells granted by this choice count as Cleric spells for you (even if it's not on the normal Cleric spell list), are always prepared, and do not count against your normal prepared spells limit.
- Channel Divinity:
  You can channel divine energy from your deity to fuel magical effects. You start with two options: Turn Undead, and one granted by your Domain. You can Channel Divinity once before needing to complete a short or long rest to do so again; at Cleric level 6 this improves to twice between rests.
- Channel Divinity: Turn Undead:
  As an action, show your holy symbol and speak a prayer against the undead. Each undead creature that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. If it fails it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly get within 30 feet of you. It cannot take reactions. For its action, it can only Dash or try to escape from a movement impairing effect. If there's nowhere to move, the creature uses the Dodge action.
- Ability Score Improvement:
  At Cleric level 4, increase one ability score by 2 or two different ability scores by 1, up to a maximum of 20. Alternatively, don't improve ability scores and choose one Feat. You can do this again at Cleric level 8.
- Destroy Undead:
  At Cleric level 5, when an undead fails its saving throw against your Channel Divinity: Turn Undead feature, the creature is immediately destroyed if it is very weak in comparison to your Cleric level. The DM will determine whether or not this happens.
- Divine Intervention:
  At Cleric level 10, you can entreat your deity to intervene on your behalf. Using an action, you can describe the intervention you're seeking and roll a d100. If you roll a number equal to or lower than your Cleric level, your deity intervenes as determined by the DM. If your deity intervenes you cannot use this feature again for 7 days; if they do not intervene, you can use it again after a long rest.

Archetypes:
- Forge Domain:
  The domain of metalwork and patience.
  - Domain Spells:
    Begin with Identify, Searing Smite, Heat Metal, and Magic Weapon. At Cleric level 5 gain Elemental Weapon and Protection From Energy. At Cleric level 7 gain Fabricte and Wall of Fire. At Cleric level 9 gain Animate Objects and Creation.
  - Bonus Proficiencies:
    You gain proficiency with heavy armor and smith's tools.
  - Blessing of the Forge:
    You can imbue magic into a weapon or armor. At the end of a long rest, you can touch one nonmagical object that is a suit of armor or simple or martial weapon. Until the end of your next long rest or until you die, it becomes a magic item with +1 Armor Class if armor or +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls if weapon. Once you use this feature you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Class: Druid

x

Druid

Druids shape the elements and take on the forms of beasts by drawing on their deep connection to nature or a god of nature. They see themselves as extentions of nature's indomitable will, and they seek to preserve the delicate natural balance of the world above all else.

Class Features:

Hit Points:
- Hit Dice:
  1d8 per Druid level
- Hit Points at 1st Level:
  8 + your Constitution modifier
- Hit Points at Higher Levels:
  Add 5 + your Constitution modifier per level after 1st

Proficiencies:
- Armor:
  Light armor, medium armor, and shields (but druids will not wear armor or use shields made of metal)
- Weapons:
  Clubs, daggers, darts, javelins, maces, quarterstaffs, scimitars, sickles, slings, spears
- Tools:
  Herbalism kit
- Saving Throws:
  Intelligence, Wisdom
- Skills:
  Choose two from Arcana, Animal Handling, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Perception, Religion, and Survival

Equipment:
- Shield or Weapon:
  A wooden shield or any simple weapon.
- Melee Weapon:
  A scimitar or any simple melee weapon
- Other Gear:
  Leather armor, an explorer's pack, and a druidic focus

Additional Features:
- Spellcasting:
  See Druid chart for number of spells and slots available. You begin with 2 Druid cantrips known and learn another at Druid levels 4 and 10. Rather than being able to call upon all known spells at a given time, you prepare a limited list of spells from the Druid spell list that you can use until you take the time to change that list (which you can do at the end of any long rest). You can have a number of spells prepared equal to your Wisdom modified + your Druid level. They must be spells of a level for which you have spell slots. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for Druid spells. Your spell save DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. Your spell attack modifier is your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
- Wild Shape:
  As an action, you can magiaclly assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before. You can use this feature twice before needing to finish a short or long rest to use it again. Your Druid level determines the beasts you can turn into: beasts of Challenge Rating 1/4 or lower to start, beasts of CR 1/2 or lower at Druid level 4, and beasts of CR 1 or lower at Druid level 8; see Appendix D of the Player Handbook for some simple options, or the Monster Manual or Volo's Guide to Monsters for more extensive options. You can stay in a beast shape for a number of hours equal to half your Druid level (rounded down), but if you reach that limit you can expend another use of Wild Shape to retain the form. You can revert to your normal form earlier as a bonus action. YOu automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. While transformed, the following rules apply:
  - Stats:
    Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also keep your skill and saving throw proficiencies, but you gain any proficiencies of the beast form as well. If the beast has proficiency in something you are already proficient in and its bonus to that skill is higher than yours, use the beast's bonus instead of yours. If the beast has any legendary or lair actions you can't use them.
  - Hit points:
    When you transform, you assume the beast's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form you return to the amount of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert due to dropping to 0 hit points in the beast form, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you are not knocked unconscious.
  - Spells and Actions:
    You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to whatever the beast can actually do. Transforming doesn't break concentration on any spell you cast previously, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell you've already cast (such as Call Lightning allowing you to strike a for with lightning each turn that it remains active).
  - Special Features:
    You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other sources and can use them if your new form is physically capable of it. However, you cannot use any special senses, like Darkvision, unless your beast form also has it.
  - Equipment:
    You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground, merges into the new form, or is worn by the new form. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM will decide if it makes sense for the beast form to be able to use it. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the beast form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with your beast form has no effect until you leave the form.
- Druid Circle:
  Choose a Druid Circle, detailed in Archetypes below. Your choices are Circle of the Land, Circle of the Moon, Circle of Dreams, and Circle of the Shepherd.
- Ability Score Improvement:
  At Druid level 4, increase one ability score by 2 or two different ability scores by 1, up to a maximum of 20. Alternatively, don't improve ability scores and choose one Feat. You can do this again at Druid level 8.

  - Bonus Cantrip:
    You learn one additional Druid cantrip of your choice. It doesn't count against Druid cantrips known.

    During a short rest, you can meditate and recover spell slots. These slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your Druid level (rounded up), but none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
  - Circle Spells:
    Your connection to the land allows you to cast certain spells. Choose an environment from the list below, which would be the type of land where you became a Druid. You gain the spells from that selection at the indicated levels. These spells are always prepared and do not count against your number of prepared spells each day.

    At Fighter level 7, you can add half your proficiency bonus (rounded up) to any Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution check you make that doesn't already use your proficiency bonus. Also, when you make a running long jump, the distance you can cover increases by a number of feet equal to your Strength modifier.
  - Additional Fighting Style:
    At Fighter level 10, you can choose a second option from the Fighting Style class feature.
- Battle Master:
  Fighters who focus on technique and finesse.
  - Combat Superiority:
    You have special maneuvers fueled by superiority dice. Superiority dice are d8s and are expended when used, with all uses regained when you finish a short or long rest. You start with 4 superiority dice and gain another at Fighter level 7. If your maneuvers require a saving throw, the DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice). You begin with three maneuvers and learn two more at Fighter level 7, then two more at Fighter level 10. See here or the Fighter section in the Player's Handbook for a list of maneuvers.
  - Student of War:
    You gain proficiency with one type of artisan's tools of your choice.
  - Know Your Enemy:
    At Fighter level 7, when you spend at least one minute observing or interacting with another creature outside of combat, you can learn some information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior regarding two of the following characteristics of your choice: Strength score, Dexterity score, Constitution score, Armor Class, current hit points, total class levels (if any), or total Fighter levels (if any).
  - Improved Combat Superiority:
    At Fighter level 10, your superiority dice turn into d10s.
- Eldritch Knight:
  Fighters who mix martial skill with magical knowledge.
  - Spellcasting:
    Eldritch Knights have a rather complicated set of restrictions on spellcasting that are a pain in the ass to write in this format, so for details see that section of the Player's Handbook or pester an experienced D&D player for an explanation (Jorick volunteers because he is the one slacking on writing the information here). Intelligence is their spellcasting ability, and their spell attack modifier and spell save DC are calculated in the same way as a Wizard's.
  - Weapon Bond:
    You can perform a ritual over the course of an hour (which can be done during a short rest) that bonds you to your weapon. The weapon must remain within your reach for the duration of the ritual. When using a bonded weapon, you can't be disarmed unless you're incapacitated and you can summon that weapon to you as a bonus action to cause it to instantly teleport to your hand (though this does not work if you are on a different plane of existence than your bonded weapon). You can have up to two bonded weapons at a time, but you can only summon one with a single bonus action.
  - War Magic:
    At Fighter level 7, when you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.
  - Eldritch Strike:
    At Fighter level 10, your weapon attacks make enemies vulnerable to your magic. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, that creature has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes against a spell you cast before the end of your next turn.
- Arcane Archer:
  Fighters who combine elven archery with magical prowess.
  - Arcane Archer Lore:
    You gain proficiency in either Arcana or Nature, and you learn either the Prestidigitation or Druidcraft cantrip.
  - Arcane Shot:
    You can unleash magical effects with some of your shots. Once per turn when you fire an arrow from a shortbow or longbow with the Attack action, you can apply a magical effect to the shot. You can use this feature twice before needing to finish a short or long rest to use it again. You begin with two Arcane Shot options of your choice, and you gain another at Fighter level 7 and Fighter level 10. To see the list of available options, see the Arcane Archer section of Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
  - Magic Arrow:
    At Fighter level 7, when you fire nonmagical arrows from a shortbow or longbow you can make them count as magical attacks for the purpose of determining resistance or immunity to damage types. The magic fades from the arrow immediately after it hits or misses.
  - Curving Shot:
    At Fighter level 7, you can use your magic to redirect missed shots. When you make an attack roll and an arrow misses, you can use a bonus action to reroll the attack against a different target within 60 feet of the original target.
- Samurai:
  Fighters who draw on their unbreakable spirit to overcome all foes.
  - Bonus Proficiency:
    You gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: History, Insight, Performance, or Persuasion. Alternatively, you can learn one language of your choice.

    At Fighter level 10, if you begin combat with no uses of Fighting Spirit remaining, you regain one use.

  You are a master of combat style using unarmed strikes or Monk weapons (shortswords and any simple melee weapon that doesn't have the two-handed or heavy property). While unarmed or using only Monk weapons and not using a shield, you gain a variety of benefits. You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for attack and damage rolls. You can roll a 1d4 in place of the normal damage for your unarmed strike or Monk weapon (this improves to 1d6 at Monk level 5). When you use your action to attack, you can then use your bonus action to make one unarmed strike.

  You can harness the mystical energy of Ki, which flows through all living things. Your control of this energy is represented by a number of ki points, which you spent to fuel certain class features. Your maximum pool of ki points is equal to your Monk level. Spending a ki point depletes it, but you regain all ki points when you finish a short or long rest. If a ki feature requires a target to make a saving throw, the DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. You have three ki skills to begin.

- Deflect Missiles:
  You can use your reaction to deflect or catch ranged attacks aimed at you. When you do this, the damage is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Monk level. If you reduce the damage to 0 you can catch the missile if it's small enough to hold in one hand and you have one hand free. If you catch a missile this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with it as part of your reaction; you make this attack with proficiency, regardless off your existing weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts asa a Monk weapon for this attack.
- Ability Score Improvement:
  At Monk level 4, increase one ability score by 2 or two different ability scores by 1, up to a maximum of 20. Alternatively, don't improve ability scores and choose one Feat. You can do this again at Monk level 8.
- Slow Fall:
  At Monk level 4, you can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by 5 times your Monk level.

    At Monk level 6, you can step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, you can use a bonus action to teleport up to 60 feet to a space you can see that is also dimly lit or dark. You then have advantage on the first melee attack you make this turn.
- Way of the Four Elements:
  Mastery of the four elements as an extension of your own body.
  - Disciple of the Elements:
    This is the only feature of this Monastic Order, and it is a big mess of stuff that boils down to "you can use ki points to cast elemental magic spells". See the Player's Handbook for details or bug an experienced D&D player for info (Jorick volunteers because he is the one slacking on writing the information here).
- Way of the Drunken Master:
  Mastery of beguiling unpredictability.
  - Bonus Proficiencies:
    You gain proficiency in the Performance skill and the brewer's supplies tool if you don't already have those proficiencies.
  - Drunken Technique:
    Whenever you use Flurry of Blows, you gain the benefit of the Disengage action and your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of the current turn.
  - Tipsy Sway:
    At Monk level 6, your sudden movements become more precise. When you're prone, you can jump to your feet by spending 5 feet of your movement (rather than half your movement to stand normally). When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can spend 1 ki point to make that attack hit one creature of your choice (other than the attacker) that you can see within 5 feet of you.
- Way of the Kensei:
  Mastery of weapon combat.
  - Path of the Kensei:
    Your special training gives you an assortment of benefits.
    - Kensei Weapons:
      Choose two types of weapons to be your Kensei weapons: one melee weapon and one ranged weapon. They can be any simple or martial weapon that does not have the heavy or special property (with the exception of the longbow, which can be selected despite having the heavy property). You gain proficiency in these weapons if you don't already have it, and they count as Monk weapons for you. When you reach Monk level 6, you can choose another weapon (melee or ranged with the same restrictions) to become another Kensei weapon.
    - Agile Parry:
      If you make an unarmed strike as part of the Attack action on your turn and are holding a melee Kensei weapon, you can use it to defend yourself. You gain +2 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn, so long as the weapon remains in your hand and you aren't incapacitated.
    - Kensei's Shot:
      You can use a bonus action on your turn to make ranged attacks with a Kensei weapon more deadly. When you do so, for the rest of this turn any target hit by your ranged attack with a Kensei weapon takes an extra 1d4 damage of the weapon's type.
    - Way of the Brush:
      You gain proficiency with your choice of calligrapher's supplies or painter's supplies.
  - One with the Blade:
    At Monk level 6 you can extend your ki into your Kensei weapons. This makes them count as magical weapons for the sake of determining resistances and immunities to damage types. Also, when you hit a target with a Kensei weapon you can spend 1 ki point to deal extra damage equal to your Martial Arts damage (1d4 to start, 1d6 at Monk level 5). You can add this damage only once per turn.
- Way of the Sun Soul:
  Mastery of the searing light of the soul.
  - Radiant Sun Bolt:
    When you use the Attack action, you can choose to hurl a searing bolt of energy instead of attacking with a weapon or unarmed strike. This attack is a special ranged spell with a range of 30 feet. You're proficient with it and you add your Dexterity modifier to its attack and damage rolles. Its damage is equal to your Martial Arts damage (1d4 to start, 1d6 at Monk level 5). When you use this attack as part of the Attack action, you can spend 1 ki point to make this special attack twice as a bonus action. When using the Extra Attack feature, this special attack can be used in place of any of the attacks made with it.

You can spend additional ki points to cast Burning Hands as a higher level spell, with each additional ki point raising the casting level by 1; the maximu amount of ki points you can use in total when casting Burning Hands this way is equal to half your Monk level.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier, regaining all uses after a long rest.
- Lay on Hands:
  Your power allows you to heal others with a touch. Your total healing pool is equal to your Paladin level times 5, and it replenishes at the end of a long rest. As an action you can touch a creature and heal it for as many hit points as you wish, up to however many remain in your healing pool. Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your healing pool to cure the target of one disease or poison affecting it (and you can spend multiples of 5 hit points to cure multiple diseases or poisons with a single action).

- Spellcasting:
  See Paladin chart for number of spell slots available. Rather than being able to call upon all known spells at a given time, you prepare a limited list of spells from the Paladin spell list that you can use until you take the time to change that list (which you can do at the end of any long rest). You can have a number of spells prepared equal to your Charisma modifier + half your Paladin level, rounded down. They must be spells of a level for which you have spell slots. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for Paladin spells. Your spell save DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

Even if they do not appear normally on the Paladin spell list, these spells are Paladin spells for you. The Oaths also allow you to Channel Divinity, which you can do once before needing a short or long rest to recover that power. Any Channel Divinity effects that require saving throws use your Paladin spell DC. Each Oath also comes with a list of tenets that sworn Paladins vow to uphold; see Player's Handbook or Xanathar's Guide to Everything Paladin sections for those lists.

While traveling for an hour or more in your favored terrain your guidance makes travel and survival much easier: difficult terrain doesn't slow your group's travel, your group can't get lost except by magical means, you remain alert to danger even while doing things like foraging or tracking, if traveling alone you can move steathily at a normal pace, when foraging you find twice as much food as you normally would, and while tracking other creatures you also learn their exact numbers, sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

You don't need advantage on the attack to add this damage if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of the target, the target isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack. You add 2d6 Sneak Attack damage to begin, then add another 1d6 at Rogue levels 5, 7, and 9,
- Thieves' Cant:
  In your training, you learned the secret communication methods of thieves that allows you to use dialect, jargon, and coded terms to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only other creatures that know Thieves' Cant understands these messages. It takes four times as long to convey information in this way than it would to speak it plainly. You also know a set of secret symbols meant to convey simple messages (like an area being dangerous or patrolled by guards) that are used for communication between thieves of all kinds.

  In combat, you can Dash, Disengage, or Hide as a bonus action instead of a regular action.

  - Infiltration Expertise:
    At Rogue level 9, you can create almost perfect false identities for yourself. You must spend 7 days and 25 gold to establish the history, profession, and affiliations for an identity, but you cannot assume an identity belonging to someone else.

Once established, if you adopt the new identity as a disguise other creatures believe you to be that person until given an obvious reason not to.
- Arcane Trickster:
  Rogues who enhance their stealthy skills with magical tricks.
  - Spellcasting:
    As with other spellcasting archetypes given to non-spellcasting classes, this stuff is messy. See the Player's Handbook for details or harass an experienced player (Jorick volunteers because he is being lazy by not writing it out) to learn how it works.

    When you cast the Mage Hand cantrip, you can make it invisible and can perform additional tasks with it. You can attempt to put an object the hand is holding into a container worn or carried by another creature. You can attempt to take an object from a container worn or carried by another creature. You can use thieves' tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range. You can perform these special tasks without being detected if you succeed on a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the creature's Wisdom (Perception) check. You can control the Mage Hand with a bonus action rather than the usual action required.

- Inquisitive:
  Rogues who focus on learning secrets and unraveling mysteries.

  - Insightful Fighting:
    You are skilled at deciphering an opponent's tactics to counter them. As a bonus action, you can make a Wisdom (Insight) check against a creature that isn't incapacitated, counted by their Charisma (Deception) check. If you succeed, you can use your Sneak Attack against that target regardless of other requirements so long as you don't have disadvantage on the attack. This benefit lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature against a different target.
  - Steady Eye:
    At Rogue level 9, you gain advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) check if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn.
- Mastermind:
  Rogues who use words and secrets as weapons and tools of manipulation.
  - Master of Intrigue:
    You gain proficiency with the disguise kit, the forgery kit, and one gaming set of your choice. You also learn two languages of your choice. Also, you can perfectly mimic the speech patterns and accent of a creature that you hear speak for at least 1 minute, which can allow you to pass yourself off as a native speaker of a particular land if you know the language.
  - Master of Tactics:
    You can use the Help action as a bonus action. Also, whenever you use the Help action to aid an ally attacking a creature, the target of that attack needs only be within 30 feet of you and able to see or hear you rather than needing to be within 5 feet of you (as per normal with the Help action).
  - Insightful Manipulator:
    At Rogue level 9, if you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with a creature outside of combat, you can learn information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice: Intelligence score, Wisdom Score, Charisma score, or class levels (if any). The DM may also choose to let you ralize you know a piece of the creature's history or one of its personality traits.
- Scout:
  Rogues who hone their stealthy skills for use in the wilderness.
  - Skirmisher:
    You are hard to pin down in a fight. You can move up to half your speed as a reaction when an enemy ends its turn within 5 feet of you, and this movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.
  - Survivalist:
    You gain proficiency with the Nature and Survival skills if you aren't already proficient. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability checks made with these skills.
  - Superior Mobility:
    At Rogue level 9, your walking, climbing, and swimming speed all increase by 10 feet.
- Swashbuckler:
  Rogues who focus on fighting one on one with enemies in the open, and making a show of it.
  - Fancy Footwork:
    During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can't make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn.
  - Rakish Audacity:
    Your confidence propels you into battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative roll equal to your Charisma modifier. You can also use your Sneak Attack more readily: you don't need advantage to add Sneak Attack damage if you are within 5 feet of your target, no other creatures are within 5 feet of you, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. All other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you.
  - Panache:
    At Rogue level 9, your charm becomes extremely potent. As an action, you can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by a creature's Wisdom (Insight) check. The creature must be able to hear you and share a language with you to use this feature. If you succeed on the check and the creature is hostile to you, it has disadvantage on attack rolls made against targets other than you and can't make opportunity attacks against targets other than you; this lasts for 1 minute, until one of your allies attacks the target or affects it with a spell, or until you and the target are more than 60 feet away from each other. If the target isn't hostile to you, it is charmed by you for 1 minute; for the duration it regards you as a friendly acquaintance, and the effect ends immediately if you or your companions do anything harmful to it.

  You can tap into the deep wellspring of magic within you to create a variety of magical effects. This pool of power is represented by sorcery points. Your maximum number of sorcery points is equal to your Sorcerer level, they are expended when used, and you regain all sorcery points when you finish a long rest. As a bonus action, you can turn sorcery points into a spell slot of a desired level (up to 5th) or expend a spell slot (up to 5th level) to regain sorcery points without needing to rest. 1st level slots = 2 SP, 2nd level = 3 SP, 3rd level = 5 SP, 4th level = 6 SP, and 5th level = 7 SP.
- Metamagic:
  You can use sorcery points to twist your spells to suit your needs. You can only use one Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it, unless otherwise noted. To begin you can choose two Metamagic options to learn, and you learn another at Sorcerer level 10. See here or the Sorcerer section of the Player's Handbook for the list of Metamagic options.
- Ability Score Improvement:
  At Sorcerer level 4, increase one ability score by 2 or two different ability scores by 1, up to a maximum of 20. Alternatively, don't improve ability scores and choose one Feat. You can do this again at Sorcerer level 8.

  Sorcerers whose power comes from draconic magic mindled with their blood or that of their ancestors.
  - Dragon Ancestor:

Black and Copper dragons use acid, Blue and Bronze dragons use lightning, Brass and Gold and Red dragons use fire, Silver and White dragons use Cold, and Green dragons use poison. Also, whenver you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency check is doubled if it applies to the check.
  - Draconic Resilience:
    The draconic power in your blood causes parts of your skin to be covered by a thin layer of dragon scales. Your maximum hit points increase by a number equal to your Sorcerer level, and each time you gain a Sorcerer level you gain another maximum hit point. Also, when you aren't wearing armor your Armor Class = 13 + your Dexterity modifier.
  - Elemental Affinity:
    At Sorcerer level 6, when you cast a spell that deals the damage type associated with your Dragon Ancestor, add your Charisma modifier to the damage. At the same time you can also spend 1 sorcery point to gain resistance against that damage type for one hour.
- Wild Magic:
  Sorcerers whose power comes from the chaotic forces that exist beyond the mortal realm.
  - Wild Magic Surge:
    Whenever you cast a Sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, the DM can make you roll a d20 to see if your magic goes out of control. If you roll a 1, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table (on page 104 of the Player's Handbook) to determine what magical effect occurs.
  - Tides of Chaos:
    You can manipulate the forces of chance and chaos to gain advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. Once you do so, you must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again. Any time before you rest to regain the use of this feature, the DM can have your roll on the Wild Magic Surge table immediately after you cast a Sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher. You then immediately regain the use of this feature.
  - Bend Luck:
    At Sorcerer level 6, you can bend fate with your wild magic. When another creature you can see makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can use your reaction and spend 2 sorcery points to roll 1d4 and either add or subtract that number (your choice) from the roll result.
- Divine Soul:
  Sorcerers whose power comes from the gods.
  - Divine Magic:
    Your link to the gods allows you to learn Cleric spells. Whenever you could learn or replace a Sorcerer cantrip or spell, you can instead choose one from the Cleric spell list. You must obey any other restrictions for selecting the spell, and once obtained it becomes a Sorcerer spell for you. Also, choose an alignment affinity for the source of your divine power; you gain a spell based on that choice, and it is a Sorcerer spell for you that doesn't count against your max number of known Sorcerer spells, but if you replace it then it must be replaced by a Cleric spell. Good alignment learns Cure Wounds, Evil alignment learns Inflict Wounds, Lawful alignment learns Bless, Chaotic alignment learns Bane, and Neutral alignment learns Protection From Good And Evil.
  - Favored by the Gods:
    If you fail a saving throw or miss an attack roll, you can roll 2d4 and add it to the total to potentially change the outcome. You can only use this feature once before needing to finish a short or long rest to use it again.
  - Empowered Healing:
    At Sorcerer level 6, your divine energy empowers healing spells. Whenever you or an ally within 5 feet of you rolls dice to determine the hit points restored by a healing spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll any number of those dice once.

You can cast it either by using a spell slot or spending 2 sorcery points; if cast with sorcery points, you can see through the darkness created by the spell.
  - Strength of the Grave:
    Your existence on the cusp of life and death make you hard to defeat. When damage reduced you to 0 hit points, you can make a Charisma saving throw (DC = 5 + the damage taken). On a success, you instead drop to 1 hit point. You can't use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit points by radiant damage or a critical hit. After a successful saving throw, you can't use this feature again until after you finish a long rest.
  - Hound of Ill Omen:
    At Sorcerer level 6, you gain the ability to call forth a creature of darkness to harass your foes. As a bonus action, you can spend 3 sorcery points to magically summon a hound of ill omen to target one creature you can see within 120 feet of you. The hound uses dire wolf statistics (see Monster Manual or Appendix C or the Player's Handbook) with some changes: its size is Medium, its type is monstrosity, it appears with temporary hit points equal to half your Sorcerer level, it can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain (and takes 5 damage if it ends its turn inside an object), and at the start of its turn the hound automatically knows the target's location (if the target was hidden, it is no longer hidden from the hound). The hound appears within 30 feet of the target. On its turn it can only move toward its target as directly as possible and use its action only to attack the target; it can make opportunity attacks but only against the target. While the hound is within 5 feet of the target, they have disadvantage on any saving throws against spells you cast. The hound disappears if its hit points drop to 0, if the target's hit points drop to 0, or after 5 minutes.
- Storm Sorcery:
  Sorcerers whose powers come from elemental air, be it from a magical storm or creatures from the elemental plane of air.

  - Tempestuous Magic:
    You can use a bonus action on your turn to create gusts of elemental air to surround you immediately before or after you cast a spell of 1st level or higher. Doing so allows you to fly up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.
  - Heart of the Storm:
    At Sorcerer level 6, you gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. Also, whenever you start casting a spell 1st level or higher that deals lighting or thunder damage, stormy magic erupts around you. This causes creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you to take lightning or thunder damage (your choice) equal to half your Sorcerer level.
  - Storm Guide:
    At Sorcerer level 6, you gain some subtle control of the weather. If it's raining you can use an action to make rain stop falling in a 20 foot radius sphere centered on you; you can end this as a bonus action. If it's windy you can use a bonus action each round to choose the direction the wind blows in a 100 foot radius sphere centered on you; the wind blows that direction until the end of your next turn but this feature can't alter the speed of the wind.

Your Patron choice adds additional spell options to the Warlock spell list; you do not gain these spells automatically, you must select them as per normal rules for acquiring spells (see Pact Magic below) and they count against your max spells known, but they count as Warlock spells for you despite not being on the normal Warlock spell list.
- Pact Magic:
  See Warlock chart for number of spells known and slots available. You begin with 2 Warlock cantrips known and gain another at Warlock levels 4 and 10. You learn additional Warlock spells when you gain Warlock levels, and when you gain a level you can choose one Warlock spell you know and replace it for another from the Warlock spell list. All spells you know are available to be cast at all times so long as you have the spell slots and any material components required (your component pouch or arcane focus can be used in place of any material components that would not be consumed by casting a spell). Charisma is your spellcasting ability for Warlock spells. Your spell save DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. Your spell attack modifier is your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
- Eldritch Invocations:
  Your studies have uncovered fragments of forbidden knowledge that empower you. You begin knowing 2 invocations, and you gain another at Warlock levels 5, 7, and 9. Whenever you gain a Warlock level you can choose one known invocation and replace it with another from the list. See here or the Warlock section of the Player's Handbook for the list of Eldritch Invocations, and additional invocation options can be found in the Warlock section of Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
- Pact Boon:
  Your patron has bestowed you with additional gifts. Choose one of the following boons.
  - Pact of the Chain:
    You learn the Find Familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual. It doesn't count against you number of Warlock spells known. When you cast it you can choose one of the normal forms for the familiar, or one of these special forms: imp, pseudodragon, quasit, or sprite. Also, whenever you use the Attack action, you can skip one of your own attacks to let your familiar make one attack of its own instead.
  - Pact of the Blade:
    You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You choose the form the melee weapon takes each time you create it. You are proficient with it while using it and it counts as a magical weapon. The weapon disappears if it's more than 5 feet away from you for a minute, if you use this feature again, if you dismiss it (no action needed), or if you die. You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a ritual while you hold it for an hour (can be done during a rest); you can then dismiss the weapon into extradimensional space and summon it back with an action. You can't make an artifact or sentient weapon into your pact weapon. The weapon stops being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the ritual on another weapon, of if you perform an hour long ritual to break the bond. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.
  - Pact of the Tome:
    You receive a grimoire called the Book of Shadows. Choose three cantrips from any class' spell list. While you have this book you can cast those cantrips at will. They don't count against your Warlock cantrips known. If you lost the book you can perform a 1 hour ceremony to get a replacement from you patron (can be performed during a rest), and the previous book is destroyed in the process. The book turns to ash when you die.
- Ability Score Improvement:
  At Warlock level 4, increase one ability score by 2 or two different ability scores by 1, up to a maximum of 20. Alternatively, don't improve ability scores and choose one Feat. You can do this again at Warlock level 8.

  - Misty Escape:
    At Warlock level 6, you can magically escape from harm. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to turn invisible and teleport up to 60 feet to a space you can see.

  - Entropic Ward:
    At Warlock level 6, you learn to protect yourself against attacks and turn your foe's poor fortune into your own good luck. When a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that roll.

Once you use this feature you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
  - Thought Shield:

  - Healing Light:
    You can channel celestial energy to heal wounds. You have a pool of d6s (the number is equal to 1 + your Warlock level) that you use to fuel this healing. As a bonus action, you can hael one creature you can see within 60 feet of you, spending dice from the pool and rolling them to determine number of hit points regained. The maximum number of dice you can spend at once equals your Charisma modifier. Your pool regains all expended dice when you finish a long rest.

  - Hexblade's Curse:
    As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you and place a curse on them. The curse lasts for 1 minute, ending early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends your damage rolls against the cursed target gain a bonus equal to your proficiency bonus, your attack rolls against the cursed target are critical hits on a 19 or 20, and if the cursed target dies you regain hit points equal to your Warlock level + your Charisma modifier. You can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
  - Hex Warrior:
    You gain proficiency with mediam armor, shields, and martial weapons. Your patron allows you to channel your will through a particular weapon. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When you attack with that weapon you can use your Charisma modifier (instead of Strength or Dexterity as usual) for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. If you choose Pact of the Blade as your Pact Boon, this benefit extends to every pact weapon you conjure regardless of the weapon's type.
  - Accursed Specter:
    At Warlock level 6, you curse the soul of a person you slay and temporarily bind it to your service. When you slay a humanoid you can cause its spirit to rise from its corpse as a specter (stats are in the Monster Manual). When it appears, the specter gains temporary hit points equal to half your Warlock level. The specter takes its own turns in combat, but it obeys your verbal commands and gains a bonus to its attack rolls equal to your Charisma modifier. The specter remains in your service until the end of your next long rest, after which it vanishes into the afterlife. Once you use this feature it can't be used again until you finish a long rest.

    At Warlock level 10, your Hexblade's Curse grows more powerful. If a cursed target hists you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll a d6; on a 4 or higher, the attack instead misses you regardless of whatever the cursed target rolled.

Wizards are the unparalled masters of magic. Through extensive study and experimentation, a skilled Wizard can attain the power to change the very fabric of reality with a snap of their fingers.

- Hit Points at 1st Level:
  6 + your Constitution modifier
- Hit Points at Higher Levels:
  Add 4 + your Constitution modifier per Wizard level after 1st

  Daggers, darts, slings, quarterstaffs, light crossbows
- Tools:
  None
- Saving Throws:
  Intelligence, Wisdom
- Skills:
  Choose two from Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, and Religion

Equipment:
- Weapon:
  A quarterstaff or a dagger
- Magical Tools:
  A spell book and a compontent pouch or arcane focus
- Gear:
  A scholar's pack or an explorer's pack

Additional Features:
- Spellcasting:
  See Wizard chart for number of spell slots available. You start with 3 Wizard cantrips known and gain another at Wizard levels 4 and 10. Rather than being able to call upon all known spells at a given time, you prepare a limited list of spells from your spellbook (see Spellbook section below for details) that you can use until you take the time to change that list (which you can do at the end of any long rest). You can have a number of spells prepared equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Wizard level. They must be spells of a level for which you have spell slots. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for Wizard spells. Your spell save DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. Your spell attack modifier is your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.
- Spellbook:
  Unlike other spellcasters, your magical knowledge is housed almost entirely inside a spellbook (and its appearance is yours to decide). Your spellbook starts with six 1st level Wizard spells in it, and you can add two new Wizard spells each time you level (at the start of this game, that means add 4 Wizard spells of your choice to the book to account for Wizard level 2 and 3). These learned spells must be of levels for which you have spells slots. If you find spell scrolls with Wizard spells on them, you can transcribe those spells into your spellbook at a cost of 2 hours and 50 gold per level of the spell. You can more easily copy spells in your spellbook into another book (costing only 1 hour and 10 gold per level of each spell). If you lose your spellbook you lose all spells you did not have prepared, but you can write those prepared spells into a new book at the lower cost.
- Arcane Recovery:
  Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level equal to or less than half your Wizard level (rounded down), and none can be 6th level or higher.
- Arcane Tradition:
  Choose an Arcane Tradition, detailed in Archetypes below. Your choices are the eights schools of magic (Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, and Transmutation) or the teachings of War Magic that combine elements of Abjuration and Evocation.
- Ability Score Improvement:
  At Wizard level 4, increase one ability score by 2 or two different ability scores by 1, up to a maximum of 20. Alternatively, don't improve ability scores and choose one Feat. You can do this again at Wizard level 8.

  Magic that blocks, banishes, and protects.
  - Abjuration Savant:
    The gold and time you must spend to copy an abjuration spell into your spellbook is halved.

    When you cast an abjuration spell of 1st level or higher, you can use a bit of that spell's magic to create a ward around yourself that lasts until your next long rest. The war has hit points equal to twice your Wizard levle + your Intelligence modifier. Whenever you take damage, the ward takes the damage instead. If the damage reduces the ward to 0 hit points, you take any excess damage. While the ward has 0 hit points it can't absorb damage, but the magic remains and can be replenished by casting another abjuration spell; the ward gains hit points equal to twice the level of the spell this way. Once you create an Arcane Ward you can't create another until you finish a long rest.
  - Projected Ward:
    At Wizard level 6, when a creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to cause your Arcane Ward to absorb that damage. If the damage reduces the ward to 0 hit points, the original target of the damage takes any excess.

Alternatively, you can choose a willing creature within 30 feet and use your action to swap places with them.

Each foretelling roll can only be used once, and when you finish a long rest you lose any unused foretelling rolls.
  - Expert Divination:
    At Wizard level 6, your skill with divination is so great that those spells take only a fraction of your effort. When you cast a divination spell of 2nd level or higher using a spell slot, you regain one expended spell slot.

The charmed creature's speed drops to 0 and the creature is incapacitated and visibly dazed. On following turns you can use your action to maintain this effect until the end of your next turn. This effect ends if you move more than 5 feet away from the target, if the target can no longer see or hear you, or if the target takes damage. Once the effect ends, or if the target succeeded on its saving throw, you can't use this feature against that creature again until you finish a long rest.
  - Instinctive Charm:
    At Wizard level 6, when a creature you can see within 30 feet makes an attack roll against you you can use your reaction to divert the attack, so long as there is another creature within the attack's range. The attack must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save it targets the creature closes to it, not including you or itself; if multiple creatures are closest, the attacker chooses which to target.
