wall must make a Constitution saving throw against your
Sign Save DC or take 1d8 cold damage and have its speed

Bombs
Starting at 3rd level, you have learned how to make witcher’s
bombs, small explosives that can affect your enemies in a
multitude of ways. You may craft bombs during a short or
long rest. You may only possess a number of bombs equal to
your proficiency bonus at one time, and may not have more
than 3 of the same type at any time. Each crafting of a bomb
provides up to 3 bombs.
At second level, you know 1 bomb formula from the list at
the end of the class description, and each time you level up,
you may select one of your known bomb formula and replace
it with one you don’t know. Throwing a bomb takes an action,
and you may throw any bomb accurately towards a spot

19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2 or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Alchemy
Starting at 5th level, you gain proficiency with an alchemy kit
and have learned to concoct powerful potions and deadly oils
using it. You may brew potions and oils during a short rest,
but in order to brew enhanced potions or oils, it must be
mentioned in your school description. You must have the
components necessary to craft the oils and potions for each
batch. If you craft a decoction or potion, it also consumes
some form of hard alcohol. If you craft an oil, it consumes
some form of oil. It is your DM's discretion where you find the
components of your concoctions.
Potions you create are specific to your biology, and unless
the description states otherwise, anyone except you that
drinks one does not reap the benefits and risks serious injury,
even other witchers. Each potion has a specific number of
Toxicity Points. Drinking one takes a bonus action, and they
retain their potency for up to a month. Each potion brewed
has enough for two doses, but you may not have the effects of
more than one dose of a specific potion active at once. You
may have as many different potions active as your poison
slots allow.
Oils you create provide bonuses against specific types of
monsters when applied to your weapon. They do not affect
Toxicity, but you can only have one applied to your sword at a
time. Brewing a oil provides enough material for two
applications, each application lasting for a number of attacks
(successful or not) equal to your level. Applying or removing
an oil takes one action and others may not use oils you have
created. You may learn two oils using one Potions Known
slot.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Witcher Senses
At 7th level, you have advantage on perception, survival and
investigation checks when tracking Monsters. At 11th level, it
doesn’t matter what type of quarry you are seeking.
Decoctions
Starting at 13th level, you may now craft decoctions,
incredibly strong potions derived from specific monster parts.
You may brew any decoction from the list at the end of the
class description, provided you possess the necessary
ingredients. It takes a long rest to craft a decoction, and an
action and a bonus action to administer one. Decoctions
known do not count against potion formulae known.
Your DM may choose to make it so you must collect
formula sheets before you can brew a decoction. Decoctions
act similar to potions in that they take up Toxicity points, but
they differ in how they are brewed. Each Decoction has a
Master Ingredient, which is collected from a specific monster
(e.g. Basilisk Eye.) After you brew a decoction, you may
replenish it up to three times using all of the ingredients
required except the master ingredient. Upon replenishing it
the third time, it becomes too diluted to replenish further, and
you must craft it again with the Master Ingredient to gain its
effect. Each brewing of a decoction provides one dose.
Vatt'ghern
Vatt'ghern
Starting at 20th level, when you are fighting a Monster or
beast recorded in your bestiary, and you hit it with a silvered
weapon, you may ignore its damage resistances for 5
minutes. Its damage immunities become damage resistances
for the duration as well. This condition refreshes each time
you hit the monster with a weapon attack.
You may also add your Intelligence modifier to damage
rolls against creatures in your bestiary.
Witcher Schools
As a witcher, you are quite literally defined by your school. It
is where you received all of your training, spent most of your
life, and underwent the Trial of the Grasses. It's the closest
thing you have to a home, filled with the people that are the
closest thing you have to family. Each school specializes in
something different, and all have unique advantages in the
way they kill monsters.
School of the Wolf
Witchers of the school of the wolf excel at adaptability. They
are resourceful warriors, always preparing before they
engage in combat, and this allows them to defeat enemies
much stronger than themselves.

now count as finesse weapons.
Improvised Arcana

action. In addition, you may carry an extra bomb with you. If

you are proficient, you may increase or decrease the

bombs accurately up to 40 feet away from you.

ability again. You also gain the ability to choose what type of
damage a longsword you are wielding deals, choosing
between Slashing, Bludgeoning or Piercing. You choose the
damage type after you make the attack roll, but before the
Dungeon Master declares a hit or miss. If you do not state the
type, it deals slashing damage.
School of the Cat
The teachings of the School of the Cat focus on two things.
Precision and Speed. As a result, they produce swift and
deadly fighters capable of whirling through masses of
enemies in seconds.

how to strike crucial veins in your opponent's body. When you
hit an enemy with a weapon attack with a roll of 17-20, they
must make a Constitution saving throw against your sign
save DC. On a failed save, they begin bleeding profusely, and
take 1d6 necrotic damage at the end of each of their turns. If
you hit them with another weapon attack with a roll of 17-20,
the damage increases to a maximum of 2d6.
The target may re-attempt the saving throw on each of their
turns, on a Successful save the bleeding damage decreases
by one die. Starting at 10th level, the damage die increases to
1d8, and if you have the target's species as an entry in your
Bestiary, the maximum amount of damage die increases to 4.
Cyclone
Starting at 7th level, you gain access to the Cyclone potion. At
10th, you gain access to its enhanced version.
At 17th level, you can attack three times, instead of twice,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Catlike Reflexes
At 17th level you have developed superhuman reflexes, 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.
School of the Bear
Witchers of the School of the Bear are native to the harsh
lands of Skellige, and they value freedom and free will above
all else. They focus on creating heavy fighters capable of
withstanding the freezing temperatures of the islands.
When you choose this school at first level, you gain
proficiency in Intimidation, all axes, and heavy armor.
Value of Freedom
When you learn signs at 2nd level, your respect for free will
prevents you from learning the signs Axii and Yrden. You
instead learn the sign Moda, which creates a wall of icy stone
to block your enemies.

and piercing damage you take from nonmagical weapons is

17th level, you gain immunity to cold damage.

level in this class, you may select a sign you do know and
replace it with one you don't. You learn an additional

You also gain an additional sign point at 3rd, 7th, 10th and
