Johnny Caste (Order #20468940)

 CIVILIZED (BARBARIAN)
the epitome of social graces in the court.
While trained in the arts of war as proper
gentry, his true strength lies in the elegant
state of mind that he enters to "fight" with
words.
REFINEMENT
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd
level, you can go choose to activate
Refinement. Refinement works like Rage,
except for the following:
-You have advantage on Charisma checks and
saving throws instead of Strength.
-Your Rage Damage bonus applies when you
make a weapon attack, but only during stage
fights or duels, jousting included.
-Your Refinement ends if your turn ends and
you haven't interact socially with someone in a
meaningful way, or if you attacked someone
outside of staged combat or duel.
-Your Reckless Attack feature becomes
Reckless Rhetoric. When you use this ability
you have advantage on a Charisma
(Persuasion) check, but opponents have
advantage on Charisma checks against you
until the start of your next turn.
ADDITIONAL PROFICIENCY
At 3rd level you gain proficiency in the
Performance skill.
GRACEFUL
Beginning at 6th level, you add your Charisma
modifier on Saving Throws against effects that
would ruin your social graces. This applies
against the worst effects of alcohol, attempts
to incite you or spells like Hideous Laughter.
NOT CHARMED, I'M SURE
Beginning at 10th level, you can’t be charmed.
PAROLE
Beginning at 14th level, as an action you may
pacify your foes once during Refinement.
Each opponent that can see or hear you within
30 feet must make a Charisma saving throw or
become pacified for 1 minute. This ability
works as the "become indifferent" option of
the Calm Emotions spell, except it's not
magical in nature.

Johnny Caste (Order #20468940)
CLOWN (BARD)
While many consider bards to always be
clowns, the true Clown scoffs this idea.
Taking pride on his oversized shoes and face
paint as a warrior takes on his battlegear, the
clown fights the tides of darkness that
encroach people's hearts.
HUMOR MAGIC
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd
level, you gain the following spells at the
listed Bard level. These spells do not count
against the number of Bard spells you know.
3rd: Calm Emotions
5th: Feign Death
7th: Confusion
9th: Geas
PERFECTED JOKE
Beginning at 3rd level, you can expend one
use of your Bardic Inspiration to make
someone laugh. This ability works as the
Hideous Laughter spell, except it's not magical
in nature.
IT'S JUST A JOKE BRO!
Beginning at 6th level, when an attacker that
you can see attacks you with an attack, you
can use your reaction to spend one Bardic
Inspiration die and add its result to your AC
against that attack.
STAND-UP ROUTINE
Beginning at 14th level, you may crack the
whole crowd. When you use the Perfected
Joke ability, you may spend one extra Bardic
Inspiration die. If you do so this ability affects
all possible targets within 30 feet. Your allies
aren't immune to this effect.

DANDY (FIGHTER)
Not all warriors are equal; some are more
equal than the others. Those who call
themselves Dandies are even more equal than
most. What challenges they can't overcome
with their sword arm they can with lots of
hired sword arms.
YES MAN
At 3rd level, you have a follower that fulfills
your every wish. Choose an humanoid npc
with a challenge rating of 1/2 or lower. The
Yes Man works as any other hired help, except
for the following.
•Add your proficiency bonus to the
Yes Man’s AC, as well as to any saving
throws it is proficient in.
•Its hit point maximum equals (4 +
your Charisma modifier) times your Fighter
level.
disadvantage on attack rolls against you until
the start of your next turn. Those who pass the
test instead receive advantage on attack rolls
against you until the start of your next turn.
EXCEPTIONAL LOYALTY
Starting at 15th level, when you use the Attack
action with a weapon attack on your turn, you
can use your Bonus action to command your
Yes Man companion to make a single attack.
I COULD BUY YOU
Starting at 15th level, when you use the Know
who I Am ability, opponents of CR up to 4
simply give up. If you offer a better deal they
will join your forces.

The Yes Man may act independently, but

when you spend your action to command it, it
receives the following benefits:
•Add your proficiency bonus to the
Yes Man’s attack and damage rolls.
•The Yes Man uses its normal stats or
your Charisma modifier for attack and damage
rolls, whichever is higher.
•Whenever the Yes Man would force a
saving throw, its save DC is 8 + your
Charisma modifier + your proficiency
modifier.
You may change your Yes Man with 8 hour of
recruiting in any urban area, or by convincing
an appropriate npc you find.

BIG TIP
Starting at 7th level, you can add your
proficiency bonus to any Charisma check you
make that doesn’t already use your proficiency
bonus, as long as you are willing to spend your
vast resources.

KNOW WHO I AM
Starting at 10th level, as a bonus action, you
may reveal who you are and what will happen
to those who oppose you. All hostile creatures
within 30ft of you must make a Wisdom
saving throw with DC 8 + your Charisma
modifier + your Proficiency bonus, or suffer

 WAY OF THE OPEN BOOK
(MONK)
There are some strange monks from far off
lands that train their body and minds to be a
perfect weapon. Their teachings mixed with
the traditional monk ways from the near lands,
creating a unique tradition capable with pen,
praise, and stone-hard fists. They are neither
Warrior Monks of Copyist Monks, but
Warrior Copyist Monks.
BONUS PROFICIENCIES
At 3rd level you gain proficiency in the
Calligrapher's supplies and Cartographer’s
tools.
WORD DISCIPLINES
At 3rd level, you learn magical disciplines that
harness the power of the Word. Some
disciplines require you to spend ki points
when you use them. You learn two disciplines
of your choice, and two additional at 6th, 11th,
and 17th level. Whenever you learn a new
discipline, you can also replace one discipline
that you already know with a different
discipline.
You may choose Word Disciplines from spells
from the Abjuration and Divination schools,
from the Bard, Cleric, Druid and Wizard lists.
At first you can only choose from 1st level
spells, but at 6th, 11th, and 17th levels you
may learn disciplines of one level higher.
You must spend a number of Ki points equal
to the spell's level to activate the Discipline.
The maximum number of Ki points you can
spend to improve spells is the same is 3 at 3rd
level, 4 at 6th, 5 at 11th and 6 at 17th.
TRANQUILITY
Beginning at 11th level, you can enter a
special meditation that surrounds you with an
aura of peace. At the end of a long rest, you
gain the effect of a sanctuary spell that lasts
until the start of your next long rest (the spell
can end early as normal). The saving throw
DC for the spell equals 8 + your Wisdom
modifier + your proficiency bonus.

OATH OF FASHION
(PALADIN)
One of the most controversial vows, these men
and women vow to bring good taste and
proper form to all corners of the world. They
must battle forces of evil while making sure
they never, ever, wear last season.
TENETS OF FASHION
Beauty. The slim body is a thing of beauty.
Never allow yourself to become the opposite
of beauty, and help others to improve.
Creativity. Great minds must be protected
from the harsh realities of a world that don't
get them. Suffer no one to destroy their
dreams by pointing out that something they
design is ridiculous.
Fashion. The tides of fashion change the same
way as nature does. It's not called a fashion
season for nothing.
Pride. Never be ashamed of who you are, but
make sure to point the shameful mistakes of
others.
OATH OF FASHION SPELLS
3rd: Goodberry, Longstrider
5th: Enhance Ability, Pass Without Trace
9th: Hunger of Hadar, Water Walk
13th: Dimension Door, Freedom of Movement
17th: Dream, Tree Stride
WEIGHTLESSNESS
You may benefit from this archetype features
as long as you weight no more than 7,5lb
times your strength score. If you ever weight
more than that you can't access the abilities
from this Oath until you get back in shape.
CHANNEL DIVINITY
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain
the following two Channel Divinity options.
The Catwalk. As a bonus action, you
enter the state of the Uber. For one minute,
your ignore difficult terrain, any hostile
creature has disadvantage on opportunity
attack rolls against you, and you have
advantage on all Dexterity saving throws.
The Fashion Police. As an action, you
can imbue someone with the greatest fashion,
using your Channel Divinity. For 12 hours, the
touched target turns into a god or goddess. The
5
 target's appearance changes to an improved,
perfect version of himself. His hair, teeth and
nails are well-done, and he is dressed in the
latest trends and best finery. He appears so
well, in fact, that many social doors open to
him. If the possessor attempts to sell or give
away any part of its apparel, use it for a spell
component, or the like, the removed piece
immediately disappears. The same applies if
any of it is forcibly taken from him. When
using this ability the paladin may also affect
himself with the same effect at no extra cost.
AURA OF CATWALK
Starting at 7th level, you and friendly creatures
within 10 feet of you have Advantage on
Charisma saving throws and Dexterity checks
and saving throws related to balance. At 18th
level, the range of this aura increases to 30
feet.
PERFECT BOD
After a long runway, you finally unshackle
yourself from the ravages of the body. Starting
at 15th level, you no longer need food or water
and are capable of maintaining that per-fect
shape. Additionally you suffer none of the
frailty of old age, and you can’t be aged
magically. Your beauty never diminishes, but
you can still die of old age, however.
THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL
At 20th level, you can assume the form of The
Uber Model. Your form thins and your hair
blows wildly, but in a flattering way. For one
minute, you gain the following benefits:
• You gain the effects of the freedom of
movement spell, and your speed cannot be
reduced.
• Your provoke no opportunity attacks.
• You have advantage on all attack rolls.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it
again until you finish a long rest.

Johnny Caste (Order #20468940)
SURVIVALIST (RANGER)
While most rangers are able to live off the
wilds, the Survivalist is a master of
preparation. These... intense... men and
women know that one must be prepared for
everything, because they are coming.
THEM'S GOOD EATIN'
You understanding of nature allows you to pro
properly feed yourself and your companions.
Starting at 3rd level, you automatically forage
in addition to any other function you are
engaged during travel. When you cook
something, it's purified as if by the Purify
Food and Drink spell and resembles good, if
rustic, food.
FAVORED STRANGERS
At 3rd level you choose one humanoid
organization or sub-culture, like the knights of
the kingdom, colonials or natives of the
region, or any other subgroup of a humanoid
species. This groups counts as a Favored
Enemy to you. You may choose another
Favored Stranger at 7th, 11th and 15th levels.
OLD TRICKS
At 7th level, you may choose one of the
following abilities. At 11th level you choose
another one, and at 15th you get the third one.
Hillbilly. You may freely climb any
surface as though affected by the spider climb
spell, and have advantage on checks made to
keep your balance.
Living Under a Rock. You take no
penalties when squeezing through a space one
size too small for you, and have advantage on
checks made to squeeze through narrow
spaces and escape from bindings.
Master Baiter. You become proficient
in Water Vehicles. You also gain a Swim
speed equal to half your land speed, and while
traveling near water you forage double the
normal amount.
STALKER
At 15th level, you can track using scent, and
you can track a creature moving under the
influence of pass without trace spell or a
similar effect.
6
 BEGGAR (ROGUE)
Not a mere street beggar, followers of this
path improve the act of soliciting to an art.
They are honorable folk, since they quite
literally could be stealing, mugging or plainly
murdering people, but instead they are just
asking...
ACCOST
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level,
you become adept at accosting people. When a
target would provoke an opportunity attack
from you, you can use your Reaction to accost
it. If you do so you make a Charisma
(Deception) check against its AC. If you "hit"
its speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn,
while it tries to avoid your soliciting.
I COULD BE STEALING...
Starting at 9th level, you become a master of
acquiring wealth. You have advantage on
Charisma (Intimidation and Persuasion)
checks made to solicit and extort.
I COULD BE KILLING...
Beginning at 13th level, whenever you hit an
humanoid opponent with a sneak attack, you
may decide to use this ability. Roll damage
normally; it if would be enough to drop the
target to 0 Hit Points (before applying
reductions, like Damage Resistance), you may
decide to cause no damage and solicit. If you
do so the target is Charmed by you for 1
minute.
I COULD BE THREATENING YOUR FRIENDS...
At 17th level, you get people to understand
your point. When you use I Could be Killing,
all opponents within 30ft that can see you are
also affected if they fail a Wisdom saving
thrown (DC 8 + your Proficiency modifier +
your Charisma bonus).
Not for resale. Permission granted to print or photocopy this document for personal use only.
Johnny Caste (Order #20468940)
SUE LINEAGE (SORCERER)
Those who come from this lineage are
insufferable heroes or villains of all kinds.
They usually consider their power a curse, but
no one else can see why. Their angst at that is
only lesser than their awesome, unbridled
awesomeness.
GIFTED AT EVERYTHING
You never needed to work for anything, and
you won't start now. Starting at 1st level, you
can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded
down, to any ability check you make that
doesn’t already include your proficiency
bonus.
ENDEARING QUALITIES
At 1st level, you have unique and usually
nonsensical traits like colored hair or eyes,
different body type than your race, unique
tattoos that don't detract for your beauty, or
any other thing. People recognize its
significance in a positive way, and always
react one step better to you. Additionally when
you aren’t wearing armor, your AC equals 13
+ your Dexterity modifier. However that
makes you easy to recognize, and you have
Disadvantage on Charisma checks to disguise
yourself, blend in or avoid attention.
NO CONSEQUENCES
At 6th level, any time you are the target of an
opportunity attack, you can spend 1 Sorcery
Point as a reaction to gain temporary hit points
equal to your sorcerer level + your Charisma
bonus.
SMILE OF FATE
Starting at 14th level, it seems that things
never really get dire to you. Whenever you
would have Disadvantage on any check, you
may spend 2 Sorcery Points to negate that
disadvantage.
YOU CAN'T TAKE ME
Starting at 18th level, when you are reduced to
0 hit points, you can spend 1 Sorcery Point to
drop to 1 hit point instead.
