WEAPON THROW
At level one, you have the ability to throw weapons without the thrown property. If you hit a
creature with a thrown weapon without the thrown property, flip a coin. If you win the flip, you
deal the normal damage of that weapon. If you lose the flip, you hit with the handle of the
weapon, and deal 1d6+STR bludgeoning damage. Use STR as the modifier for these thrown
attacks.

DISARMING STRIKE
At level one, you have learned not to become too attached to any one weapon, and how to
forcefully inflict this lesson on others. As an attack action, you may perform an unarmed strike
on a creature holding a weapon. If you hit, they roll a STR save against your spell save DC
(STR). On a failed save, they drop their weapon.

IN THE MOMENT
At level two, you have begun to use your surroundings as a means for laying waste to your
enemies. You may pick up a weapon as a bonus action, and until your next turn, you may add
your proficiency bonus to attack rolls with that weapon. This stacks if you are already proficient
in that weapon.

MASKED KILLER I
At level three, the hotline has chosen you as a conduit to carry out their violent acts. While
fighting, you may wear animal masks to hide your identity. Each mask has a blessing from a
spirit of the hotline, and will grant you a special power when you don it. You may only wear one
mask at a time. Fucker. These masks can be worn by anyone, but can only grant powers to you.
You may not change masks in the middle of combat, and while wearing a mask, you have
disadvantage on rolls to communicate verbally. To craft a mask, you need 50gp of leather,
leatherworking tools, and 4 hours of time. You may carry up to three masks with you at a time,
and only one of each kind. If you craft an additional mask, choose a mask to discard. That mask
will turn to dust upon completion of the new mask. At level three, you can craft the following
masks.
Animal Spirit Ability

Rooster Richard Add your proficiency bonus to

non-verbal Intimidation rolls.

Owl Rasmus Add your proficiency bonus to

Perception rolls that aim to
find hidden items.

Tiger Tony Add your proficiency bonus to

damage rolls with unarmed
strikes. These deal piercing
damage.

bonus from enemies’ saves
against dropping their ranged
weapons

Horse Don Juan Add your proficiency bonus to

creature, you may instead
have them drop a holstered
or sheathed weapon you can
see.

Elephant Rufus +3 AC

Camel Rami If you successfully use

disarming strike against a
creature holding a ranged
weapon, they drop an
additional shot for that
weapon.

Monkey Willem If you successfully grapple a

creature, you may take the
 disengage action as a bonus
action. If you do, you may
take a weapon they are
holding with you.

ABILITY SCORE IMPROVEMENT

When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase 
one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. 
As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. 

Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice 
instead. 

FISTS OF FURY 

Beginning at fifth level, you may perform an extra attack action, as long as at least one of them 
is an unarmed attack. 

TENTH OF A SECOND
Beginning at the 6th level, you have familiarized yourself with reaction times and how to beat
them. Once per half your Hotline Killer level rounded up, you may, as a bonus action, use this
feature, and creatures cannot take reactions until the end of your turn, and cannot make
legendary actions after your turn.

way. If a creature is badly wounded and alone, you may spend two attack actions to perform a
CHA (Intimidation) check. They roll a WIS saving throw against it. On a failed save, the creature
is terrified, and begins bargaining for its life. You may enter its thoughts and ask it three

it its life.

with a melee weapon you don’t own against its owner, if it’s a nonmagical weapon, you may
