FOREWORD
This supplement has been a bit of a labour of love for the past two-and-a-half years, and I can’t really believe
that it’s finally done. I will be coming back to update things, and alter the way things work based on feedback,
so if any readers have ideas or constructive criticism please let me know, I’ll take it all into account when
revising how any of the features work in the book.
I’d like to take a moment to thank the huge group of friends I have that have read and commented on these
archetypes and helped me refine them to the point they are at today. Thank you so much for dealing with my
almost constant D&D talk.
Hopefully, this won’t be the only thing I ever release on DM’s Guild and into the future. I am a game designer,
and this entire supplement was a 1-man trek from start to finish, aside from the front-page art, which was
commissioned from my good friend Jemimah. The next time I create something, depending on how well this
goes down, I may be able to hire artists and layout designers to make the work look just that little bit more
presentable. Regardless, I hope you all enjoy the archetypes I have brewed up for you. It’s been a long time
coming.
Thanks, Ocean M.
BARBARIAN
Taking in a single breath of the battlefield, the
wizened Orc woman knows it well. The smell of blood
on the wind, the spirits waiting to be called upon. She
raises her battle-axe with a roar, and as she does so, it
is wrapped in primordial fire, ready to scorch the
flesh of her victims.
Grunting as she does so, a hulking human woman
with dirtied ginger hair stands up from her table in
the inn, glancing at two figures approaching her from
across the bar. The split second one of them fondled
at their belt for a blade, she was upon them, barstool
in hand. The stool, quickly shattered across the firsts’
head, was quickly replaced by a table to her left,
which then swiftly slammed into the second
assailant’s gut; knocking them both out with ease.
The barbarian paths presented in this supplement are
the Path of the Elder, which describes a shamanic
barbarian whose adherence to the old rites of their
tribe has granted them mystical powers. The Hellion
is an archetype for the bar-brawler; a barbarian who
specialises in unarmed combat and utilising
improvised weapons.
PATH OF THE ELDERS
The path of the elders is a path that follows a form of
primordial spiritualism that barbarian soothsayers
and mystics use to fight in tribal combat to this day.
They are venerated barbarians whose wisdom in
battle allows them to bend the forces of nature to
their will. They may be spellcasters, but they are
brutal warriors that combine sheer strength with
mystical power; a power that only rises when the fire
in their gut blazes like a roaring bonfire.
MYSTIC FURY
When you reach 3rd level, you can go into a mystical
fury when you rage. When you do so, you become able
to force the world around you to bend to your whim
in the form of casting spells, using your weapon as a
druidic focus for channelling your magic.
You gain a random number of spell slots when your
Mystic Fury begins, and you become able to cast
cantrips and spells gained through the Mystic Fury
feature during this special rage. Additionally,
whenever you make an attack roll using your Wisdom
during this special rage, you can add your rage
damage bonus to the roll, even if it is a spell attack.
Once this rage ends, whether it be by your own
choice, or by falling to 0 hit points, any spell you are
concentrating on also ends, you lose all remaining
spell slots, and you gain one level of exhaustion.
Cantrips: You learn two cantrips of your choice from
the path of the elders’ spell list, found at the end of
this class description. You learn an additional path of
the elders cantrip of your choice at 10th and
18th level. You can only use these cantrips during a
Mystic Fury.

PATH OF THE HELLION
Hellions fight a style with no rules; these brutes are
devastating in hand-to-hand combat, often straying to
using unconventional weaponry from the
environment around them. Their sheer strength
allows them to use any means necessary to get a leg
up on their opponents.
BRAWLER'S ARMOURY
When you reach 3rd level, you learn to use unarmed
strikes and improvised weapons as a part of your
fighting style. Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 + your
Strength modifier damage, and attacks with
improvised weaponry deal 1d8 + your Strength
modifier bludgeoning damage (unless a different
damage type is more appropriate). You are proficient
with any improvised weapon you use.
The DM can decide what specific attributes an
improvised weapon may have; for example, a broken
bottle may have the light attribute, while a large table
may have the two-handed and heavy attributes. All
improvised weapons you use gain
the thrown attribute (with range 10/30ft),
provided they do not have the heavy attribute. If a
weapon has the light attribute, that weapon can
instead be thrown 20/60ft. A heavy improvised
weapon is usually cumbersome; you make all attacks
with them at disadvantage, but using one grants other
benefits as described later in the class description.
Some of the abilities you gain from this path require
you to use an improvised weapon that has one of
those special attributes. If an ability requires an
enemy to make a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your
proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier.
BRUTE STRENGTH
Also, at 3rd level, you can choose to put in incredible
power into a swing when you make a melee attack
using an improvised weapon. On a hit, you can choose
between the following options:
 The target must succeed on a Strength saving
throw or be knocked 10 feet back.
 The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving
throw or be knocked prone.
 The target must succeed on a Constitution
saving throw or suffer 1d8 additional
damage.
If you are using a heavy improvised weapon, a
creature has disadvantage on the saving throw. After
using a weapon in this way, it breaks and is rendered
unusable (unless the weapon is heavy, in which case
it can be used twice in this way before becoming
unusable).
RUFFIAN’S GUARD
At 6th level, you become an expert of deflecting
attacks with even the most unsuitable tools. When
you are wielding a non-light improvised weapon, or
when there is an untethered Large or smaller object
that weighs less than 15 times your strength score in
pounds (the DM can estimate whether you could lift it
quick enough or not!) within 5 feet of you, you can use
your reaction to attempt to deflect an incoming attack
using it.
You gain a +5 bonus to your AC for that attack only,
and if this bonus AC causes the attack to miss, the
object or improvised weapon is destroyed instead,
becoming completely unusable as a weapon or as a
defensive tool (unless the DM rules otherwise, as a jab
with a knife may not destroy a table!).
DOWN FOR THE COUNT
When you reach 10th-level, you can use your action
to knock a creature unconscious with an incredibly
heavy blow. Make a melee attack roll with an
unarmed strike or improvised weapon, and on a
hit, the target takes damage for the attack, and then
must make a Constitution save against your Brawler
save DC. The creature gains advantage on the save if
they have more than 50% of its maximum hit points
remaining.
On a failure, the creature falls unconscious for 1d4
hours, or until they take damage or are woken by
another creature using their action to shake them
awake. After using this ability, hit or miss, you gain 1
level of exhaustion.
FURIOUS BARRAGE
At 14th level, you can use your reckless attack feature
to allow you to make additional attacks, rather than to
make you more likely to hit. You throw all care for
your defences aside, and instead of gaining advantage
on all attacks this round, you can instead make an
additional 2 attacks when you take the attack
action. These attacks can only be made using either
unarmed strikes or improvised weaponry.
You can only use either reckless attack or furious
barrage in one turn, and the same as reckless attack,
until the start of your next turn, all attacks made
against you are made at advantage.

BARD
Pausing for effect, a doublet clad elf eyes the room,
leaving enough time for a killer punchline, reducing
the room to tears. Stepping aside and out of the way
of arrow-fire, a dainty halfling carefully picks her next
words in order to best frighten her goblinoid
assailants. “But, of course!" cheers the playwright. The
puzzle was solved. He had, of course, read the solution
in a famous tragedy, once.
The scent of a feast floats across the noses of the
caravan; their mouths begin to water, and they follow
the source of the smell. Their cook, a Goliath woman
with an appetite for game, just finished roasting a
whole hog for dinner. They dig in and feel
empowered; a hearty meal indeed.
The two bard archetypes featured in this supplement
are the College of Fables, which is inspired by one of
my favourite PCs of all time, a storyteller bard who
told the story of a fight as it happened, and the College
of Feasts, a supportive bard that whips up delicious
food to buff the party with.
COLLEGE OF FABLES
Whether playwright, poet, actor or author, a Bard of
Fables intertwines their words with magic to give
them a little extra je-ne-sais-quoi. Their battles
become great sonnets and epic adventures; fraught
with peril and intrigue. They use their magic to accent
the story, giving each spell a story and using the way
they shift between to show the way the plot changes
directions.
ARCANE STORYTELLING
At 3rd level when you join this college, you become
able to weave complex myth and legend as you cast
arcane spells. Each of the base schools for spells
correspond to an “element” of storytelling, as
explained in the table below. When you cast a spell,
your story adopts that spell’s storytelling element.
Spell School Storytelling Element
Abjuration Comedy
Conjuration Tragedy
Divination Suspense
Enchantment Romance
Evocation Action
Illusion Mystery
Necromancy Horror
Transmutation Betrayal
During, combat, you can connect these elements
together in order to weave a story of the battle; at 3rd
level, you unlock “Plot Points”; these plot points
represent your weaving of a story; for example, to use
the Sudden Betrayal plot point, you cast
an illusion spell followed by an enchantment spell,
and then can immediately use that plot point’s ability,
as described in the “List of Plot Points” section
below.
FABLED SECRETS
At 6th level, you can choose to specialise in two of the
storytelling elements from the table. You can learn
two 1st-level spells from any spell list that conform to
either of the element’s corresponding spell
schools. These spells count as Bard spells for you and
are not included in the number of spells known
column in the Bard table.
Additionally, when you make an Intelligence (History)
check that relates to one of your chosen elements, you
gain advantage on the roll. For example, if
you specialise in Horror, you may make a History
check to remember horror stories about gruesome
murders or haunted areas, or if you specialise in
Romance, you might make a History check to
remember the stories of a certain King’s many lovers.
PLOT TWIST
At 6th level, you also gain the ability to suddenly
change the course of the story, initiating a plot twist.
When you initiate a plot twist, you can choose to
change the storytelling element of a spell you cast to
any other storytelling element of your choice. You
can do this once, and then you can’t do it again until
you finish a short or long rest.
EPIC FABLE
At 14th level, you can string together an epic fable in
battle. This fable, enchanted with your magic
words, bolsters you with magical wards and defences,
but only so long as you can continue the story. When
you cast a spell, you can use your bonus action to
begin writing an Epic Fable.
When you do so, you start to weave storytelling
elements into the fable as you cast spells. You gain
temporary hit points based on the number of unique
storytelling elements you weave into the fable, as
described in the table below. You also gain bonuses to
your AC and saving throws when you reach certain
thresholds, as described in the table below.
3
 No. of Temporary AC Bonus Saving Throw
Elements Hit Points Bonus
1 1 0 0
2 2 1 0
3 3 1 1
4 4 2 1
5 6 2 1
6 8 3 2
7 10 4 2
8 12 5 3
These boons persist until the fable ends, which
happens when you don’t cast a spell on your turn, or
one-minute passes.
Whenever you take damage, you must make a
Concentration check to maintain the fable. This
concentration check is made in the same way as a
check made to maintain concentration on a spell; but
if you are both maintaining the fable, and maintaining
a spell, a failure loses concentration on both.
When you have incorporated at least 4 elements
into the fable, your plot points improve. Whenever
you roll a bardic inspiration dice for use in a plot
point, you double the value you rolled on the dice.
After you use this ability, you can’t use it again until
you finish a short or long rest.
LIST OF PLOT POINTS
The list of plot points is listed in alphabetical order.
CRACK A JOKE (SUSPENSE > COMEDY)
Immediately after activating this plot point you can
use your bonus action and expend one use of bardic
inspiration to cure a creature of your choice within 30
feet of one of the following conditions: charmed,
frightened or paralyzed. The creature is also healed
for the amount you rolled on the inspiration die.
NO HOPE (HORROR > TRAGEDY)
Immediately after activating this plot point you can
use your bonus action and expend one use of bardic
inspiration to force a creature within 30ft to make a
Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is
frightened of you for a number of turns equal to the
value rolled on the inspiration die. It can repeat the
save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect
on itself on a success.
USING PLOT POINTS FOR ROLEPLAY
A Bard from the College of Fables is not unlike a
conductor; they can describe how things unfold
and things generally follow. Using plot points, you
can give yourself, allies, or enemies a reason to act
as the story compels them to.
A good example is the “Tensions Rising” plot point.
It denotes a change from Tragedy to Suspense… a
slow-boiling build up point to sudden action! It
gives your ally the ability to move in reaction to
someone else moving; as if their hackles were up,
ready for something go down.
Try describing how the story lead to this moment;
perhaps, after you cast cloud of daggers, a bandit
captain, last of his men, was torn asunder by the
blades. You then cast hunter’s mark upon him
(from your Fabled Secrets feature!), as he prepares
to charge you.
You may say: “Surrounded by the bodies of his
allies, the bandit captain despaired. He looked
forward and saw the one who killed them all. But
little did he know, the tensions had risen, and they
were ready for his last-ditch attempt for revenge.”
– and then give one of your allies the “Tensions
Rising” plot point ability!
FOOL’S MISTAKE (COMEDY > ACTION)
Immediately after activating this plot point, you can
use your bonus action and expend one use of bardic
inspiration to force a creature within 30ft to make a
Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature
falls prone, and takes damage equal to the value rolled
on the inspiration die. If the creature attempts to
stand before the start of your next turn, it must make
a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or
it falls over again.
GALLANT RESCUE (ACTION > ROMANCE)
Immediately after activating this plot point you can
use your bonus action and expend one use of bardic
inspiration to immediately teleport to a space
adjacent to an ally within 30ft. The ally you teleported
to gains temporary hit points equal to the value you
rolled on the inspiration die.
JUMP SCARE (SUSPENSE > HORROR)
Immediately after activating this plot point, you can
use your bonus action and expend one use of bardic
inspiration to force a creature within 30ft to make a
Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature
takes psychic damage equal to the value rolled on the
4
inspiration die, and it must use its reaction to run up
to its movement directly away from you. This doesn’t
cause the creature to voluntarily run off cliffs or
otherwise put itself in danger.
LOVER’S DECEIT (ROMANCE > BETRAYAL)
Immediately after activating this plot point, you can
use your bonus action and expend one use of bardic
inspiration to choose a creature within 30ft. The next
time you make an attack roll against that creature,
you have advantage, and your attack deals additional
damage equal to the value you rolled on the
inspiration die.
BETRAYER’S REVEAL (MYSTERY >
BETRAYAL)
Immediately after activating this plot point, you can
use your bonus action and expend one use of bardic
inspiration to force a creature within 30 feet to make
a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, they must
use their reaction (if they still have it) to attack a
creature of your choice within range. The creature
gains a bonus to hit for this attack equal to the value
rolled on the inspiration die.
FLEXIBILITY AND CREATIVE LICENSE
Due to the nature of D&D combat, spells, spell
schools, and the limited amount of plot points
available, it’s not always going to be possible to
craft that perfect masterpiece in the heat of battle.
As much as possible, this has been compensated
for via the Fabled Secrets and Plot Twist abilities,
to let you use more than just the Bard class spells
and freely give any spell one of your favoured
storytelling elements.
Sometimes, however, it might just not line up
right. If that happens often, you might want to
speak to your DM, and see whether you could
categorise your spells in a different way other than
by spell school – this is completely subjective,
hence why it hasn’t been done in this supplement.
Maybe you can find a creative way to make sure all
the spells work well for you, and how you want to
weave your stories mid-combat. The “spell-school”
way of doing things works, but you could find
something better for you!
BEGIN INVESTIGATION (TRAGEDY >
MYSTERY)
Immediately after you activate this plot point, you
can use your bonus action and expend a use of your
bardic inspiration to grant a creature within 30 feet a
bonus to their passive Perception equal to the value
you rolled on the die for the next minute. That
creature also gains blindsight out to 5 feet for the
duration.
SEEKING VENGEANCE (BETRAYAL >
ACTION)
Immediately after activating this plot point, you can
use your bonus action and expend one use of bardic
inspiration to select a creature within 30 feet of you.
Until the start of your next turn, that creature can use
its reaction to make an opportunity attack against any
creature that deals damage to it while in range. If the
creature hits with attack, it deals extra damage equal
to the result of the bardic inspiration dice.
TENSIONS RISING (TRAGEDY > SUSPENSE)
Immediately after activating this plot point, you can
use your bonus action and expend one use of bardic
inspiration to select a creature within 30 feet. Until
the start of your next turn, that creature can use its
reaction whenever another creature that they can see
moves or takes any action to move up to its speed in
any direction and regain hit points equal to the result
of the bardic inspiration dice.
COLLEGE OF FEASTS
The college of feasts focuses on teaching bards how to
charm through the medium of food. Food brings
people together, as does music and theatre, so bards
and food are a perfect fit. These bards cook up mouth
watering recipes at rests, preparing their party for the
fights ahead.
Á LA CARTE
At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in chef’s utensils. If
you already have proficiency in chefs’ utensils, you
can choose a tool proficiency of your choice from the
following list: alchemist’s tools, herbalist’s kit, or
poisoner’s kit.
When you use your song of rest feature, you can cook
a meal for your allies instead, expending 50 gold
pieces worth of fine spices, herbs, and good
foodstuffs. In addition to the healing your allies gain
when they expend a hit dice, you can also grant them
one of the three temporary benefits below. You don’t
have to give all of your allies the same meal. Once a
creature has received a benefit, it can’t gain it or any
of the other benefits until they finish a long rest.
Comfort Food. The next time the creature casts a
spell that requires concentration in the next 4 hours,
5
it gains advantage on all concentration checks made
to maintain concentration on that spell.
Elegant Dish. The first time the creature rolls a 16 or
higher on an attack roll using Dexterity in the next 4
hours, it critically hits.
Hearty Meal. The first time the creature moves
within 5 feet of an enemy in the next 4 hours, it gains
advantage on a number of attacks equal to its
proficiency bonus made within the next minute.
SPELLS OF A CHEF
Your training in cookery, and magic use in the kitchen,
grants you additional spells as you level up. The
following spells are added to your known spells, when
you reach certain levels, and they count as bard spells
for you, regardless of whether they are on the bard
spell list.
Bard Level Spell Learned
3rd locate animals or plants
5th create food and water
11th heroes’ feast
SOUL FOOD
At 6th level, your create food and water spell
improves. Your food conjured by this spell is not
bland and takes on whatever form you wish it to, and
you can conjure things other than water. If the food
you want to conjure requires expensive ingredients
(worth more than 5gp per pound), a pound of each
must be present when you cast the spell.
Any creature that eats the food conjured by this
improved spell is cured of any diseases or poisons
they are affected by (unless you don’t wish for them
to be), and the food also removes one level of
exhaustion from any creature that eats it. A creature
can only remove one level of exhaustion per day from
eating this food.
In addition, whenever you roll lower than a 10 on any
chef’s utensils checks made to check the quality of
food, you roll a 10 instead.
FEASTS FOR HEROES
At 14th level, your heroes’ feast spell improves. You
can choose to conjure a different type of feast instead
of a heroes’ feast by consuming an additional 250gp of
fine ingredients, placing them in the goblet. Each of
the feasts grants its consumers 2d10 increased hit
points and maximum hit points and immunity to
frightened like the normal heroes’ feast, but
depending on the selected feast, it grants a different
temporary benefit instead of immunity to poison and
advantage on wisdom saving throws. Choose from
one of the options below.
Champion’s Feast. You can’t be pushed or knocked
prone against your will, and you gain advantage on
Strength saving throws.
Guardian’s Feast. You gain advantage on
Constitution saving throws, and you gain 4 temporary
hit points at the start of each of your turns.
Martyr’s Feast. The first time you fall to 0 hit points
while the spell remains, you fall to 1 hit point instead.
Saint’s Feast. You gain immunity to the blinded and
deafened conditions, and you become resistant to
radiant damage.
Magician’s Feast. You gain immunity to the charmed
condition, and you gain advantage on Intelligence and
Charisma saving throws.

CLERIC
Raising his shield to the sky, the white-clad cleric
conjures a golden globe of protection as a torrent of
dragonfire pours down on him and his comrades.
They look up, and around with wonder, completely
unscathed.
Wielding a flowing current of water as a weapon, the
triton stood, vehement, at the doorway, refusing to let
his enemies pass. As each enemy stood against the
waves, the triton let his passion run wild, becoming
an angry storm of divine fury.
The two cleric archetypes provided in this
supplement are the Aegis Domain, a cleric that is fully
focused on defending their allies from harm through
the use of powerful shielding magic, and the Emotion
Domain, a cleric whose magic influences their mood
and in turn their mood influences the power of their
magic.
AEGIS DOMAIN
Clerics of the Aegis domain put protection of others
ahead of protection of themselves. They are self-
sacrificial and put a heavy emphasis on selflessness
and compassion. On the battlefield, an Aegis domain
cleric wields powerful abjuration miracles that can
deflect devastating attacks and protect those that
fight alongside them. They are faithful guardians and
loyal defenders of those who need it most.
The gods of these clerics span a wide range, from the
gods of healing and endurance (like Ilmater, Mishakal,
Apollo and Diancecht) to the champions of honour
and chivalry that some War domain clerics revere,
like Torm, Heironeous, and Kiri-Jolith.
AEGIS DOMAIN SPELLS
Cleric Level Spells
1st-level protection from evil and good, shield of
faith
3rd-level aid, warding bond
5th-level protection from energy, wind wall
7th-level death ward, stoneskin
9th-level antilife shell, wall of force
BONUS PROFICIENCIES
At 1st level, you gain proficiency with heavy armour,
and you gain an extra +1 bonus to AC when wielding a
shield.
HOLY AEGIS
Also, at 1st level, your god grants you the clarity to
deflect attacks from your nearby allies.
Whenever you, or another creature within 5 feet of
you is attacked, you can use your reaction to grant a
+5 bonus to AC against that attack. You must choose
to do this when the target is chosen, but before the
attack is rolled.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to
your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You
regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: DIVINE
CHALLENGE
At 2nd-level, you can use your Channel Divinity to
provoke hostile enemies nearby to attack you, instead
of your allies. As an action on your turn, you can use
your Channel Divinity to force all hostile creatures
within 15 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw.
On a failed save, the creature cannot use their action
to attack any creature other than you for the next
minute. A creature that is immune to the charmed
condition is not affected by this feature.
This does not force them to attack you; they can
choose to move away or perform any action so long as
it is not attacking your allies. If an affected creature
casts an area-of-effect spell or uses an area-of-effect
spell-like effect, it must have you as its focal point. A
creature affected by this ability can repeat the save at
the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself
on a success.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: GREAT BARRIER
At 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to
create a great aegis around you, protecting yourself
and nearby allies from harm, provided you are
wielding a shield. As a reaction when you are targeted
by an area-of-effect spell or spell-like ability that deals
damage, you can summon a
golden barrier that helps protect you and any
creature within 5 feet of you. Every creature within
the globe automatically succeeds on the saving throw
against the effect.
At 17th level, your ability to use this barrier improves,
and you can expend all three uses of your Channel
Divinity to cause every creature within the barrier
to automatically save against, and then take no
damage from the area-of-effect ability instead.
7
DIVINE SHIELD
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your shield
with divine energy. As a bonus action on your turn
while wielding a shield, you can choose to bless your
shield with holy energy, gaining 2d6 temporary hit
points until the start of your next turn. When you
reach 14th level, the temporary hit points gained
increases to 3d6.
HEAVEN’S AEGIS
At 17th level, you become able to conjure Heaven’s
Aegis, a legendary and ethereal shield of divine
energy that can deflect any attack, provided you are
wielding a shield. As a reaction when you are hit by an
attack, you can summon this shield, causing the attack
to deal no damage, and nullifies any additional effects
the attack may have. You can use this feature once,
after which you must complete a long rest to use it
again.
EMOTION DOMAIN
Emotion Domain Clerics are pious folk that worship
the cycle of emotional change. Their divine magics are
tied directly to their mood, which makes them
unpredictable and fearsome opponents on the
battlefield.
Some of these clerics worship and emulate the flow of
the ocean, the way its waves change from calm to wild
in minutes, and the way that those changes never
permanently affect it.
Others are evangelists that quickly anger when
injustice is seen, or quiet mystics that roil into a
battle-rage once presented with a challenge.
Regardless, emotion clerics move in fluid motion
between passion and calm.
The gods of these clerics can be gods that are of the
sea (like Melora, Poseidon or Neptune), or they can be
gods that govern over emotions or any other medium
that emulates emotion, like storms or war.
EMOTION DOMAIN SPELLS 
Cleric Level  Spells 
1st-level   dissonant whispers, heroism
3rd-level  calm emotions, suggestion
5th-level  enemies abound, fear
7th-level  aura of purity, charm monster
9th-level  dream, modify memory
BONUS CANTRIP 
At 1st level, you learn the friends cantrip. 
EMOTIONAL FLOW
Also at 1st level, your magic affects your emotional
state, either calming it or agitating it. This change in
your emotional state then affects your magic in turn,
strengthening or weakening it based on your current
mood and the type of magic you cast.
These effects are described by a resource you gain
called Emotive Power, which causes different effects
depending on your Emotive State. The maximum
amount of Emotive Power you can have at one time
is equal to your proficiency bonus.
Whenever you cast a spell of 1st-level or higher while
you are not currently in an Emotive State, you enter
one, based on the type of spell you cast, as explained
below. After 1 minute, or when you fall to 0 hit points,
you exit any Emotive State you are currently in, and
lose all Emotive Power. Once you have entered an
Emotive State, there is no way to leave it other than
by the use of your Channel Divinity feature or via the
spell calm emotions at later levels. If a spell you cast
neither benefits nor hinders a creature, then you do
not enter an Emotive State.
STATE OF CALM
When you cast a spell that directly benefits yourself
or another creature, whether that be through healing
or through some other kind of beneficial effect, you
are placed into the State of Calm, representing the
use of beneficial magic to calm oneself. When you
enter this state, and after you cast another beneficial
spell while already in a State of Calm, you gain 1
Emotive Power, up to a maximum of your proficiency
bonus.
While you are in this state, you gain a bonus to your
healing spells of 1st-level or higher equal to your
current Emotive Power, and you reduce the damage
you deal with spells of 1st-level or higher by 2 x your
Emotive Power.
STATE OF ANGER
When you cast a spell that directly harms or
otherwise hinders a creature, you are placed into the
State of Anger, representing the use of beneficial
magic to calm oneself. When you enter this state, and
after you damage or hinder a creature using a harmful
spell while already in a State of Anger, you gain 1
Emotive Power, up to a maximum of your proficiency
bonus.
8
While you are in this state, you gain a bonus to your
damaging magics equal to 2 times your Emotive
Power, and you reduce the healing you grant with
spells of 1st-level or higher by your Emotive Power.
CHANNEL DIVINITY OPTIONS
At 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to
instil divine emotion into your body,
reverting yourself to equilibrium. When you use this
special Channel Divinity option, you must be in an
Emotional State, and you use a different option
depending on which Emotional State you are in.
If you are in a State of Calm, you can use Raging Wave,
which involves breaking your calm mental state with
anger, to return to equilibrium. If you are in a State of
Anger, you use Moment of Tranquillity, which
involves taking a moment of absolute calm to still the
passion that rages within you.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: RAGING
WAVE (CALM ONLY)
As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to exit
the State of Calm. You let loose a violent wave of
spiritual energy from your body that radiates out 10
feet. Every enemy within that area must make a
Strength saving throw.
On a failure, they take 1d8 + twice your current
Emotive Power force damage, and then they fall
prone. On a success, a creature takes half as much
damage. The dice rolled increases to 2d8 at 14th level.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: MOMENT OF
TRANQUILLITY (ANGER ONLY)
As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to exit
the State of Anger. You let loose a ripple of spiritual
energy from your body that radiates out to 30 feet.
Every ally within that area gains temporary hit points
equal to 1d8 + your current Emotive Power. These
temporary hit points vanish at the start of your next
turn. The dice rolled increases to 2d8 at 14th level.
DOUBTFUL PAUSE
At 6th level, you gain the ability to channel emotions
into your enemies, causing them to suddenly plunge
into a sea of doubt, hesitating to make the move they
first thought to take.
As a reaction when a creature within 30 feet of
you takes an action, you can force them to make a
Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature
hesitates, causing them to ready the action instead,
with the trigger being "when 1d4 + 1 other creatures
have taken their turns". They do not have to use their
reaction to take the action if they do not want to; they
can choose to forgo it in favour of other reactions.
Additionally, if you use this ability to interrupt an
action that comprises of multiple attacks, they can use
all their attacks when they use the action, instead of
just one, and they do not have to use the attacks to
target the original target and can instead target any
other creature in range.
You can use this ability a number of times equal to
your Wisdom modifier, and then you must finish a
short rest to use it again.
PSYCHIC STRIKE
At 8th level, you can enchant your weapon with
emotion, causing it to assault the mind when you hit
an enemy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a
melee attack, you can choose to deal 1d4 + your
Emotive Power psychic damage to the target of the
attack. At 14th level, this increases to 2d4.
MANIPULATION OF EMOTION
At 17th level, you can influence the emotional state of
creatures by calling upon your god’s will. As an action
on your turn, you can force one creature you can see
within 30 feet to make a Charisma saving throw
against your spell save DC (a creature can choose to
fail this save). On a failure, you can decide what mood
they are in; detailing what emotions they feel and to
what degree. A creature you are fighting makes this
save with advantage.
A creature that is affected by this effect acts
completely accordingly to the emotion. For example, a
creature overcome with sadness may fall to the
ground and wail uncontrollably; or if a raging
barbarian is forced to become calm, their rage may
end. A creature influenced in this way remains so for
up to 1 hour. It can repeat the saving throw whenever
it takes damage from any source other than itself.
If you use this ability on yourself, you use it to place
yourself in an Emotive State and instantly gain up to
6 Emotive Power.
Once you’ve used this ability, you can’t use it again
until you finish a short rest.

DRUID
The bandit stands, wide-eyed, as his opponent’s body
shifts; its arm becoming a cluster of octopus tentacles
that wrap around his chest, and his head becoming
that of a cobra, biting down on his neck.
The half-elf slinks into the shadows, their body
slipping into the body of a tiger – vanishing into the
brush, stalking their foe. What was once visible
becomes invisible, and the tiger reappears pouncing
upon its helpless prey, pushed to the ground.
A cloud of buzzing wasps surrounds the figure, who
moves slowly toward his enemies in menacing
fashion. With a wave of his finger, the cloud splits,
assailing the druid’s enemies with precision.
There are 3 druid archetypes provided in this
supplement. The Circle of the Metamorph is a tribute
to the Divinity games, where a character can
transform specific parts of their body into that of
animals. The Circle of the Wild is an archetype that
specialises a druid into one specific wild shape and
allows them to use spell-like abilities during that
shape. The Circle of the Swarm is a druid that
cultivates a swarm of insects that follow their orders.
Inspired by the massive fleets of units available in the
StarCraft franchise, this archetype allows the druid to
micro-manage a massive swarm of insects to do their
bidding.
CIRCLE OF THE METAMORPH
The circle of the metamorph follows a certain druidic
tradition that involves the transformation of only
parts of your body into the body parts of animals.
They use the varied forms of attack and movement
that beasts employ to defeat their foes.
METAMORPHOSIS
When you choose this circle at 2nd-level, you become
able to enter a state of metamorphosis, where your
body becomes able to shift into different forms at
your will. You can expend a use of your wild shape to
enter a metamorphosis state for 1 minute.
When you do so, you become able to
use metamorph actions, which can take an action,
bonus action or reaction to use. You
learn 3 metamorph actions, and an additional one at
6th, 10th, and 14th level. Whenever you learn an
action from levelling up, you can change another that
you know if you wish.
The metamorph actions are described at the end of
the archetype description, and are divided into
3 categories: attack actions, which involve
transforming a part of your body to use as a weapon
against a creature, utility actions, which involve
transforming your body in order to fulfil a specific
purpose, and then defensive actions, which involve
transforming your body to protect yourself against an
attack or spell.
If a metamorph action requires you to make an attack
roll, you use your Strength modifier, and can choose
to use your Dexterity if an action is noted to be
finesse. For example, if Neisan, the 5th-
level metamorph druid with 18 Strength uses ape's
fist, he gains a +7 to hit, and on a hit the attack deals
an additional +4 damage. If an action requires an
enemy to make a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your
proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier, unless
otherwise noted.
Some metamorph actions have after-effects. This is a
result of you transforming your body; the limb you
transform remains that way for a short time, giving
you an extra benefit. These after-effects immediately
vanish if you use another metamorph action that
requires you to transform the same body part, or you
choose to end the effect on your turn.
Each metamorph action has a tag which explains
which part of your body is transformed for the
duration of the after effect.
In addition to after effects, all metamorph attack
actions have an attack type. Some aftereffects grant
you the ability to use attacks of specific types
differently in the future, and this is told by the attack
type of each attack action. For example,
the tiger pounce attack action grants an aftereffect
which allows a creature to use any bite type attack
action as a bonus action if the pounce attack knocked
its target prone. In this case, you could use the wolf's
jaws action, but you could also use the viper's
bite action if you wished.
FLOWING TRANSFORMATIONS
At 6th level, when you use your action to utilise
a metamorph attack action your turn, you can choose
to take a second metamorph attack action as a part of
the same action.
In addition, any attacks you make using
your metamorph actions count as magical for the
purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity.

METAMORPH ACTIONS
The metamorph actions below are listed in order of type, and then in alphabetical order. Where an action
includes a saving throw, it uses your spell save DC, and an action’s effect (or aftereffect) remains until either
you retransform that body part or your metamorphosis state ends.

MAKING NEW METAMORPH ACTIONS

There's no reason to take the descriptions below as the only options. If you wish to use a bear's claw attack as a metamorph action,
use the damage dice of the black bear's claw attack on its' stat block in the Monster Manual (in general, avoid using the attacks of
beasts with challenge rating higher than 1, other than as potential rewards given by the DM!).

Then, work with the DM to figure out which limbs you'd have to transform (in this case, likely one arm), and if there is any sort of
extended benefit to having a bear's claw for an arm, and if you can come up with such a benefit, it can become the aftereffect for the
action (for a black bear's claw, perhaps, a climb speed would be appropriate, just like the ape's fist ability).

12
CIRCLE OF THE SWARM
A circle of the swarm druid is as much a commander
as they are a spiritualist. They cultivate a swarm of
magical insects that feed off magical essence and
control them in battle. These insects are hardy, quick
to replenish, and can be controlled so acutely that a
swarm druid is the ideal ally when tackling a large
group of foes.
SYMBIOTIC HOST
At 2nd level when you choose this circle, you develop
a symbiotic relationship between yourself and a
colony of insects that feed off natural magics. You
provide the swarm with sustenance and a home, and
they respond by following your general commands
and assisting you in combat.
You have a swarm of insects living inside you, or in a
home constructed by you on your person. You select
what type of insects these may be, selecting from the
following options: ants, beetles, centipedes, moths,
spiders, or wasps.
This swarm regards you as an ally and will respond to
your general commands. The swarm functions
fundamentally the same as the monster manual's
'swarm of insects' stat block.
Your swarm is altered based on what insect you
chose:
 Ants have a Strength score of 5, and can carry up
to 30lbs of weight, increasing to 60lbs when
Large, and 120lbs when Huge.
 Beetles gain a burrow speed of 15 feet, and their
AC is increased by 1.
 Centipedes gain the following effect on their bite
attack:
"A creature reduced to 0 hit points by a
swarm of centipedes is stable but poisoned for
1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and
paralyzed while poisoned in this way."
 Moths gain a flight speed of 30 feet and have a
bonus to Stealth checks equal to your proficiency
bonus.
 Spiders gain the following three features:
o Spider Climb: The swarm can climb difficult
surfaces, including upside down on ceilings,
without needing to make an ability check.
o Web Sense: While in contact with a web, the
swarm knows the exact location of any other
creature in contact with the same web.
o Web Walker: The swarm ignores
movement restrictions caused by webbing.
 Wasps gain a flight speed of 30 feet, and they
sting instead of bite; dealing an additional 1 point
of damage per 10 hit points of the swarm.
Your swarm is made up of 5 times your druid level hit
points. You can as a free action separate the swarm
into smaller swarms, with the minimum swarm size
possible being 10 hit points in size. A swarm is
considered medium when it has
between 10 and 30 hit points, large when it has
between 30 and 65 hit points, and huge when it has
between 65 and 105 hit points.
A swarm's attacks also scale based on how many hit
points the swarm has remaining. The swarm deals
2d4 piercing damage on a hit for every 10 hit points it
has (rounded up), so a swarm that has 13 hit points
worth of insects deals 4d4 piercing damage on a hit.
As the swarm takes damage, this value will
decrease; so, if that same swarm, with a hit point total
of 13 takes 4 or more damage (putting it to 9 hit
points), it will deal 2d4 damage instead.
On a long rest, your swarm only regains hit points
equal to one quarter of its maximum hit points as the
insects remaining in their hive replenish the ranks of
fallen bugs. You can feed the swarm some of your life
force to help replenish their ranks. After you have
healed to maximum hit points from a long rest, you
can choose to take 1d8 necrotic damage a number of
times up to your druid level. For each time you take
this damage, your swarm heals an equal amount.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can decide what
the swarm will do on its next turn (if you control
multiple swarms, you can command any or all of them
at the same time, issuing the same command to each
one). If the swarm doesn’t receive an order on a turn,
it will repeat the last received order until it receives a
new one; if that isn’t possible, it acts independently,
only acting to defending itself.
MAGICAL SWARM
At 6th level, your swarm's attacks are considered
magical for the purposes of ignoring resistance and
immunity.
13
SYMBIOTIC ENHANCEMENTS
At 10th level, your link to your swarm grant them
access to your magical ability. You become able to
expend spell slots in the following three ways,
affecting your swarm:
 When a swarm you control hits a melee attack
against a creature, you can use your reaction
and spend a spell slot to cause the attack to
deal an additional 1d8 poison damage. This
damage increases by 1d8 for every spell slot
level expended above 1st, up to a maximum of

5d8 additional damage.
When one or several swarms you control are
hit by an area-of-effect spell or spell like effect
that deals damage, you can use your reaction
and expend a spell slot to reduce the damage
all of your swarms take by 1d6, increasing by
an additional 1d6 for every spell slot level
expended above 1st, up to a maximum of 5d6
reduced damage.
 You can expend a spell slot of 3rd-level or
higher to grant the effects of the protection
from energy spell to all currently active
swarms for 1 hour.
UNSETTLING RETURN
At 14th level, your swarm takes over your fallen body
when you fall to 0 hit points in combat and it still has
hit points remaining. When you fall to 0 hit points,
you can choose to have any active swarms use their
reaction to move as close to you as they can. If any
swarm reaches you, you are reanimated by them,
being controlled by them thanks to the symbiotic link
you share. Any other swarms that did not reach you
using this reaction use all of their turns attempting to
reach you, and if no swarms reach you on the initial
reaction, the reanimation effect occurs once one of the
swarms successfully reaches your unconscious body.
You regain hit points equal to the amount of hit points
each swarm that reached you had remaining and gain
more hit points in the same way each time another
part of the swarm returns to you. You are still dying,
and must make saving throws, but you do not suffer
them from damage sources, only through making
death saves at the end of your turn. If you fall to 3
death failures, or you fall to 0 hit points once more,
you die.
If you are stabilised while in this state, any damage
you take destabilises you, causing you to begin taking
death saving throws again. Healing magic ends this
effect on you, setting you to 0 + the amount of hit
points you were healed by.
The swarm continues to fight within your body until
either 1 minute has passed, no threats are
recognised, or you fall to 0 hit points, at which point it
allows your body to fall to the ground again, whether
it is dead or stable. If you fell to 0 hit points a second
time, the swarm is also exterminated.
Once you have used this feature, you can’t use it again
until you complete a long rest.
CIRCLE OF THE WILD
Some druidic tribes and clans devote themselves to
one specific animal; transformation and imitation are
paramount to their daily ritual. Such clans are a part
of the Circle of the Wild, a circle of druids that focus
on their ability to transform into one specific holy
animal, and hone their senses, instinct, and capacity to
channel their druidic magic through their animal
form.
The circle has six focal animals, the wolf, the bear, the
tiger, the eagle, the toad, and the spider. As a member
of this circle, you are able to shift into one of these six
holy animals, a set of teachings granted to you by your
druidic tribe or a gift given to you by a venerable tribe
you discovered on your adventures.
WILD TRADITION
At 2nd level when you choose this circle, you can
choose one specific wild shape that you learn, and
then start to exclusively use. You lose your ability to
transform into any other wild shapes than this chosen
wild shape, unless they are of CR 1/4 or lower. The
chosen wild shape can be of one beast from the
following list below.
CHOOSING A DIFFERENT WILD SHAPE
If a beast you wish to choose is not represented in the list,
speak to your DM. Some beasts can fit each of
the represented roles; i.e. a Panther may fit the Tiger's role.
However, some of the abilities are designed to be quite
specific to the animal they represent. If you wish to play a
druid whose chosen shape is a Giant Boar, the DM may be
able to take the Guardian Bear abilities and replace Bear
Hug with a more appropriate ability fitting for a boar.
All of the wild shapes represented in the list below are beasts
of CR 1. It is recommended that if you were to choose a beast
other than the ones below, to choose another beast of CR 1,
or to ask your DM to adjust a creature's attributes and
abilities to fit a CR 1 creature.
14
Dire Wolf. You choose the hunter, the Wolf.
Brown Bear. You choose the guardian, the Bear.
Tiger. You choose the stalker, the Tiger.
Giant Eagle. You choose the valkyrie, the Eagle.
Giant Toad. You choose the mystic, the Toad.
Giant Spider. You choose the assassin, the Spider.
When you use your chosen wild shape, you can
activate it as a bonus action, rather than an action.
When you do so, you gain a number of temporary hit
points equal to twice your druid level, and you can
stay in this wild shape for 8 hours, instead of 1 hour.
If any of the beast's attacks use a saving throw DC of
less than your Spell Save DC, it instead uses that save,
and you use your proficiency bonus when
determining its bonuses to hit, rather than its
proficiency bonus.
BESTIAL MAGIC
Also at 2nd level, you gain a spell-like ability you can
use while in your chosen wild shape by expending
your spell slots. Each are specific to the chosen beast
and are listed below.
LUNAR FANG (WOLF)
You can expend a spell slot of 5th level or lower when
you hit a melee attack to deal 1d10 additional
damage, plus an additional 1d10 for every spell slot
level above 1st.
WRATH OF THE ANCIENTS (BEAR)
You can expend a spell slot of 5th level or lower as an
action on your turn. When you do so, a storm of
nature's wrath whirls around you for the next minute.
You must make concentration checks to maintain this
effect. Whenever an enemy creature starts its turn
within 5 feet of you, they must make a Dexterity
saving throw against your spell save DC. They take
1d6 slashing damage from the winds on a failed save,
and half as much on a successful one. For each spell
slot level, you expend above 1st, the storm deals an
additional 1d6 damage.
SHROUD OF THE NIGHT (TIGER)
You can expend a spell slot of 5th level or lower as a
bonus action on your turn. When you do so, you turn
invisible until the end of your turn. For each spell
slot level you expend above 1st, you gain an
additional +10 feet of speed until the end of your
turn as well.
ZEPHYR TALONS (EAGLE)
You can expend a spell slot of 5th level or lower as an
action on your turn to make a ranged weapon attack
against a creature within 60 feet. On a hit, the attack
deals 2d6 plus the eagle's Dexterity modifier slashing
damage.
For each spell slot level you expend above 1st, you can
attack one additional creature within 30 feet, dealing
the same amount of damage.
MYSTIC TOXIN (TOAD)
You can expend a spell slot of 5th level or lower as an
action on your turn. You spit a cloud of poison at a
point within 30 feet, and any creature within 5 feet of
the point must make a Constitution saving throw
against your spell save DC.
On a failure, the creature takes 2d8 poison damage
and is poisoned for the next minute. The creature can
repeat the saving throw at the end of its turn, ending
the effect on itself on a success.
For each spell slot level you expend above 1st, the
poison deals an additional 1d8 damage.
FAE VENOM (SPIDER)
You can choose to forgo the regular poison of your
bite when you hit a bite or ambush attack on your
turn and choose to expend a spell slot of 5th level or
lower instead. When you do so, the creature must
succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your
Spell Save DC.
On a failure, the creature is stunned until the end of
your next turn. When you expend a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, this ability begins to deal damage,
dealing 1d8 poison damage for each spell slot level
above 1st. On a failed save, the creature takes full
damage from this, and on a failed save, it takes half as
much damage.
PRIMEVAL SPIRIT
At 6th level, you can choose to gain a +1d6 bonus to
the next attack roll you make. You can use this feature
a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier,
and then you can't use it again until you complete a
long rest.
Additionally, each of the wild shapes gain a new
attack action they can choose to take instead of their
original attack options. In the case where a wild shape
has the Multiattack feature, the new attack
action cannot be used as a part of a Multiattack.
15
MUTILATE (WOLF)
Make a melee attack against a creature within 5ft of
you that is prone. On a hit, the creature takes 2d6 +
the wolf's Strength modifier slashing damage and
begins to bleed, if the creature is able to bleed. At the
start of each of its turns, it takes 1d6 damage from
blood loss and must make a Constitution saving throw
against your Spell Save DC.
On a success, the wound heals, and the creature stops
bleeding. A creature can be bleeding from more than
one wound, but it recovers from all of them on a
successful Constitution save.
BEAR HUG (BEAR)
Make a melee attack against a creature within 5ft of
you. On a hit, the creature takes 2d6 + the bear's
Strength modifier damage on a hit and must make a
Strength saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On
a failure, the creature becomes restrained in your
arms. You can only restrain one creature in this way,
and once you are restraining one, you can only target
that creature with your claw attacks.
As an action on its turn, the creature can make a
Strength (Athletics) check contested against yours to
attempt to escape. On a success, the creature escapes.
HAMSTRING (TIGER)
Make a melee attack against a creature within 5 feet
of you. On a hit, the creature takes 1d8 + the tiger's
Strength modifier slashing damage, and its speed is
reduced to 15 feet, if it wasn't less than 15 feet
already. If you knock a creature prone using your
Claw attack, you can make this attack as a bonus
action.
GUST (EAGLE)
You can create a heavy gust, blowing enemies away in
an area. Every creature in a 15-foot-cone must make a
Strength saving throw or be pushed 30 feet away. A
creature holding onto a heavy object or object affixed
to the floor makes this save with advantage.
TONGUE LASH (TOAD)
You can make a ranged weapon attack against a
creature within 30 feet using the toad's Strength
modifier. On a hit, the creature takes 1d10 + the
toad's Strength modifier bludgeoning damage and
must succeed on a Strength save against your Spell
Save DC or it is also pulled 15 feet towards you. If this
moves the creature within 5 feet of you, it becomes
restrained in your mouth as if you used the bite attack
action.
AMBUSH (SPIDER)
You can make a melee weapon attack against a
creature within 5 feet that you are hidden from. On a
hit, the creature suffers 3d10 + the spider's Dexterity
modifier piercing damage, and must make a DC 11
Constitution saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) poison
damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a
successful one.
If the poison damage reduces the target to 0 hit
points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour,
even after regaining hit points, and is paralyzed while
poisoned in this way.
PATRIARCH
At 10th level, your affinity with the beast form
you transform into grants your insight into its biology,
allowing you to shift into forms that are in perfectly fit
condition. Your chosen wild
shape's attributes change in the following ways:
 It gains 4 hit dice, and its hit points adjust
accordingly to this (by an amount equal to the
average of the hit die + the creature's
Constitution modifier multiplied by 4).
 It gains AC equal to your Wisdom modifier.
 Its attacks deal additional damage equal to
your Wisdom modifier.
 It gains the reaction "Primal Resilience".
Whenever you must make a Strength,
Dexterity or Constitution saving throw while
in your chosen wild shape, you can use your
reaction to gain a 1d6 bonus to the roll.
ANCESTRAL MAGICS
At 14th level, you become able to use another spell-
like ability that is specific to the ancestry of your
chosen wild shape. Each of these abilities require you
to expend a 5th-level or higher spell slot, but they do
not scale with spell slot level like the bestial magic
spell-like abilities do.
LUPINE HOWL (WOLF)
As an action while in your chosen form, you can
expend a spell slot of 5th level or higher. When you do
so, you emit a blood-curdling howl. Every creature
within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving
throw against your spell save DC.
On a failure, the creature takes 5d10 psychic damage
and becomes frightened of you for the next minute.
While frightened in this way, the creature is also
blinded and loses 15 feet of its speed. A creature
frightened in this way can repeat the save at the end
16
of their turn, ending the effect on themselves on a
success.
PRIMAL GUARDIAN (BEAR)
As an action while in your chosen form, you can
expend a spell slot of 5th level or higher. When you do
so, you begin to channel primal energies through your
ursine form, becoming a guardian for your allies.
For the next minute, you regain 3d6 hit points at the
start of each of your turns, and whenever an ally is
attacked within 5 feet of you, you can use your
reaction to force them to attack you instead. You must
make Concentration checks to maintain this feature.
You can maintain the effects of Primal Guardian and
Wrath of the Ancients at the same time, but when you
do so, the Concentration checks you make count for
both effects, so if you fail the check, both effects fade.
MARKED FOR DEATH (TIGER)
As an action while in your chosen form, you can
expend a spell slot of 5th level or higher. When you do
so, you mark an enemy you can see for death.
For the next minute, you deal an additional 3d6
damage on every attack against the creature.
Additionally, you know its location in relation to you
during this effect's duration, regardless of whether
you can see it or not, providing it is still on the same
plane of existence as you. If you kill the creature
during this effect, it ends, and you regain 30 hit
points. You must make Concentration checks to
maintain this effect.
AERIAL PREDATOR (EAGLE)
As an action while you are in your chosen form, you
can expend a spell slot of 5th level or higher. When
you do so, you gain the following abilities for the next
hour.
 You gain the Flyby feature, which means you
don't provoke an opportunity attack when you
fly out of an enemy's reach.
 You gain advantage on Acrobatics checks
made to avoid obstacles while flying.
 Your fly speed increases to 100ft.
 You can use your bonus action to impose
disadvantage on attack rolls against you while
you are in the air, provided that there are no
objects or creatures within 10 feet of you in all
directions.
to exude a billowing vapour from your pores.
Whenever a creature starts their turn within 10 feet
of you, they must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw
against your spell save DC. On a failure, the creature's
brain is wracked with pain, they take 2d10 poison
damage and become incapacitated until the end of
their next turn. You must make Concentration checks
to maintain this effect.
CRAWLING DARKNESS (SPIDER)
As an action while you are in your chosen form, you
can expend a spell slot of 5th level or higher. When
you do so, you gain the following abilities for the next
hour.
 You have a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth)
checks
 You can fire your webbing long ranges to
create traversable tightropes across gaps as
wide as 120 feet.
 Your Web action no longer needs to be
recharged.
 You can use your reaction to use your Web
action whenever a creature moves more than
20 feet away from you.
Additionally, you gain the following action for the
duration, which can be used on your turns in combat.
Web Spray (Recharge 5-6). You fire a large gout of
webbing at a point within 60 feet. Every creature
within 5 feet of the impact point must make a
Dexterity saving throw or they become restrained by
the webbing.
As an action, the restrained target can make a DC 12
Strength check, bursting the webbing on a success.
The webbing can also be attacked and destroyed (AC
10; hp 5; vulnerability to fire damage; immunity to
bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).

NEUROTOXIC VAPOURS (TOAD)

As an action while you are in your chosen form, you
can expend a spell slot of 5th level or higher and start
17

FIGHTER
The warrior stands, stalwart, raising his shield up
high before an almighty giant; his wizard companion
taking shelter just behind him. No matter how hard
the giant tries, it just can’t circumvent the warrior; his
shield interposes with every attack.
The general shouts to attention, waving his flag-tied
halberd about, yelling orders left and right. The
enemy army, routed, begins to retreat, but the general
and his men are too organised to allow escape.
The two fighter archetypes provided in this
supplement were definitely some of the most difficult
to design. The issue with the fighter class is that most
fighter options are already covered by the core. Two
areas for expansion were identified: a shield-
specialised fighter, which became the Bulwark, and a
general or captain, which became the Field
Commander.
MARTIAL ARCHETYPE: BULWARK
The Bulwark is a warrior who has specialised in the
use of a shield. Their martial defence is unparalleled,
and they are able to use their Close-Guard ability to
impart their defences to another creature as the
ultimate body guard.
SHIELD WARRIOR
At 3rd level when you take this archetype, you train in
the art of wielding a shield, granting you temporary
hit points equal to the shield's AC at the start of each
of your turns, provided you are wielding a shield.
Additionally, you become able to make a melee
weapon attack using a shield which deals 1d6
bludgeoning damage (+ your Strength modifier) on a
hit, and when you make a successful shove attack
against a creature while wielding a shield, you deal
damage as if you hit them with a melee weapon attack
using the shield.
CLOSE-GUARD
At 7th level, you become adept at protecting a close-
by ally, while only slightly inhibiting your allies’
movements. You are able to enter the same space as
a willing creature. When you do so, any attack that
targets you or the creature automatically targets you,
but the creature you are defending makes all attack
rolls on all creatures as if those creatures have half-
cover.
KEEN DISARM
At 10th level, you can smack the weapon of a creature
that attempts to hit you out of its grip. When you are
hit by an attack while your Shield Warrior temporary
hit points exist, you can use your reaction to attempt
to disarm the creature that hit you, provided they
used a weapon to attack you with. You make a
contested Strength (Athletics) check against the
creature’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check, and on a success, you disarm the
creature, knocking their weapon to the ground with
your shield.
DEFENSIVE MASTER
At 15th level, your ability to deflect attacks with your
shield has become almost unparalleled. While your
Shield Warrior temporary hit points exist, you have a
bonus to your AC equal to your Proficiency bonus.
PROTECTIVE INSTINCT
At 18th level, your reflexes when it comes to
protecting your allies allow you to save them from
danger if they are close enough. When a creature
targets a creature other than you within 15-feet with
a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to move
up to half your movement to enter that creature’s
space and Close-Guard them.
MARTIAL ARCHETYPE: FIELD
COMMANDER
The Field Commander can control the flow of a battle
and keep the tide in the favour of their allies. They are
able to dictate battle plans, which give their allies
bonuses based on the plan in use, and they can grant
their allies additional attacks outside of their turn, to
further push their group’s martial dominance.
CLEAR ORDERS
At 3rd level when you take this archetype, you train to
guide the tide of battle with clear, concise orders and
well-thought-out battle plans. You learn three Tactics,
which are listed below, and learn a further Tactic
when you reach 7th, 10th, 15th and 18th level. As a
bonus action on your turn, you can announce a tactic
to your party. While they are within 60 feet of you and
can see you, they gain a benefit based on the Tactic
you chose to announce. The effect of a Tactic lasts
until combat ends, or until you announce a new
Tactic.
18
Hold Your Ground! You shout to hold your ground.
This grants all allies advantage on attacks made using
the ready action, and advantage on all effects that
attempt to frighten them while the Tactic persists.
Phalanx! You shout to group into a phalanx.
Whenever any ally is within 5 feet of another ally
while in range, they gain a +1 bonus to their AC while
the Tactic persists.
Surround Them! You shout to charge and surround
your enemies. This grants all allies an additional +2
damage to attack rolls made against targets that are
flanked while the Tactic persists.
Chase Them Down! You shout to the group to chase
a creature within 60 feet. While an ally is within
range, they gain advantage on opportunity attacks
made against the chosen creature.
Push Them Back! You shout to the group to line up
and push enemy forces back. Whenever an ally hits
with a melee attack against a creature while adjacent
to another ally, they can use their bonus action to
shove the creature.
Make Them Fall! You call for the group to focus
down a creature within 60 feet. Once per turn when
an ally attacks the chosen creature, you can give them
advantage if the creature was already damaged by
another ally this round.
Perimeter Defence! You call for the group to cover
each other’s backs. Once per turn while at least four
members of your group fit within a 10-foot cube
surrounding each other, you can use your reaction to
impose disadvantage on a melee attack roll made
against any ally within the cube, or any ally adjacent
to it.
Move 5 feet without provoking opportunity attacks,
or Take the Dodge action.
When you give an Order to Attack, you can choose to
grant the creature advantage on the attack roll. You
can do this a number of times equal to your Charisma
modifier, and then must complete a long rest to do it
again.
DON’T BACK DOWN!
At 10th level, you can shout to raise the morale of
your group. As an action on your turn, you can make a
decisive call to refuse to back down. Every ally within
30 feet of you that can hear you gains temporary hit
points equal to your fighter level. Once you use this
ability, it can’t be used again until you complete a long
rest. Creatures with temporary hit points gained from
this feature deal additional damage when they
damage creatures equal to your Charisma modifier.
COMMANDER
At 15th level, whenever an ally makes an attack using
their reaction as a result of your Order action, you
gain 5 temporary hit points.
EXPERT STRATEGIST
At 18th level, you can have two Tactics active at once.
If you announce a new Tactic while you have two
active, you can choose which of the two active Tactics
you wish to replace.

MARTIAL GUIDANCE
Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to use the Help
action as a bonus action, and you can use it at a range
of 30 feet instead of the usual 5 feet. You can only use
this Help action to Help on an attack roll.

BATTLEFIELD DIRECTIONS
At 7th level, you can guide your allies around the
battlefield, helping them attack enemies, avoid
threats, and other things. You gain a new Attack
action option, called “Order”. You can use this action
to give an order to an ally within 60 feet of you. When
you give an order to an ally, they can use their
reaction to do one of the following actions as a
reaction: Make an attack, Move up to their speed,

19

MONK
The heavy-set dwarf stares his opponents down,
stance taken. His palms spread, he slams them into a
goblin hard and without mercy. He grapples another
goblin, and throws it at the first, without giving up
any ground to his aggressors.
The only monk archetype in this supplement is the
Way of the Heavy Handed. This monk is inspired by
the martial arts of Sumo and Judo, a heavy-weight
Strength-user that grapples their enemies and takes
them down; by throwing them or putting them in
vicious choke holds.
WAY OF THE HEAVY-HANDED
The monastic tradition of the heavy handed is
a fighting style designed to bolster one’s own
body and strengthen the monk’s bonds with the earth
they walk on.
Standing flatfooted on the ground, an immovable
mountain, these monks collide with threats head-on,
becoming the anchor about which, all enemies must
act.
A heavy-handed monk is a master of grappling
and throwing enemies into unfavourable situations
and is such a formidable and immovable force on the
battlefield that they cannot be ignored.
GROUNDED STANCE
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn
to adopt a low, grounded stance when you are close to
enemies. As a bonus action on your turn,
you can adjust your stance. You can use another
bonus action on a subsequent turn to end the
stance. While in this stance, your speed is reduced to
10 feet, but you gain the following benefits:
 Whenever you attempt to grapple or shove a
creature, they take damage equal to your martial
arts dice + your Strength modifier when you are
successful.
 Whenever you make a Strength (Athletics) check
as a part of a grapple or shove, you can spend a Ki
point to gain advantage on the roll.
 You gain advantage on Strength saving throws
made to avoid being forcibly moved or knocked
prone.
GRAPPLE TECHNIQUES
Also, at 3rd level, you can make various special attack
actions against a creature you have grappled. Each of
these special attack actions deal bludgeoning
damage equal to your Martial Arts damage dice + your
Strength modifier. These special attack actions are
listed below.
 Choke Hold. Spend 1 Ki point to make an
opposed Athletics check against a Large or
smaller creature you have grappled. On a success,
the creature takes martial arts damage, and is
restrained in your grasp. While you are
restraining a creature in this way, you can't make
attacks against any other creatures.
 Takedown. Spend 1 Ki point to make an opposed
Athletics check against a Large or smaller creature
you have grappled. On a success, the creature
takes martial arts damage, and
is knocked prone. A creature knocked prone by
this attack is winded and cannot stand up on its
next turn.
 Throw. Spend 2 Ki points to make an opposed
Athletics check against a Medium or smaller
creature you have grappled. On a success, the
creature is tossed up to 10 feet in any direction,
falls prone, and then takes martial arts damage. If
the creature collides with another creature, that
creature must make a Dexterity saving throw or
take damage also.
GRASPING HANDS
When you reach 6th level, you become a force that
enemies can no longer ignore. If a creature within 5
feet of you makes an attack against any creature other
than you while you are in your grounded stance, you
can use your reaction to attempt to grapple or shove
that creature.
AGAINST THE TIDE
At 11th level, you become more formidable as the
situation gets increasingly dire. For every creature
within 5 feet of you at the end of your turn, you gain
temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier.
These hit points cannot surpass 2 x your monk level,
and fade at the start of your next turn.
KI SHOCKWAVE
At 17th level, you can let loose an intense shockwave
of Ki from your body. As an action, you spend 3 Ki
points. Every creature within 10 feet of you must
make a Constitution saving throw or
take 5d10 thunder damage and have their speed fall
to 0 until the end of their next turn.
20

PALADIN
The wood elf swings her scimitars, quicker and
quicker as it develops into a dance. The dance ignites,
and her blades become fiery crescents that cut down
upon her foes.
The bearded crusader takes to the skies, flying at his
foe, in between clash of blade and claw, bolts of
lighting are loosed from his hand, and his enemy falls.
The hooded holy man stands in a dark room, watching
his quarry. The cultist, never one to talk, feels the
paladin’s presence creep into his mind, and truths
begin to spill.
The three paladin oaths in this supplement touch on
areas of divinity that are particularly compelling to
me. The Oath of Incandescence describes an order of
paladins that worship flames, believing that they
cleanse all evil; and that they should not be mis
wielded. The Oath of the Storm God is for a warrior
that protects the material from other planar beings,
rather than from the evils of their own plane, using
the lightning of thunder gods to do so. Finally,
followers of the Oath of Truth are divine inquisitors,
well equipped to find the truth in a sea of lies and
bring light on illusion and deception.
OATH OF INCANDESCENCE.
The flames cleanse all. When a paladin takes this oath,
they intimately understand the two facets of the
flame: the powers to destroy and purify.
Symbols of the flame include the mighty volcano, the
beautiful phoenix, and great fire-breathing dragons.
The guidance of the flame is one of the self. They
provide the power to incinerate sin, but also the
tenderness to deeply purify wounds.
A paladin with flame in their heart is as unpredictable
as a wildfire, and their actions follow the same suit.
TENETS
Stoke the Flame. Whenever the flame brews up
within you, it is your responsibility to keep it burning.
If passion, hatred, anger, love, or any other fiery
emotion brews within you, you must follow it to its
end.
Respect the Flame. Fire is an unpredictable power. If
you do not respect it, you will get burned. When using
flame, always pay respects to it and be aware of its
innate danger. Punish maniacal pyromancers who use
the flame recklessly.
Kindle New Flames. Fire can be kindled in anyone
full of passion and determination. Cultivate those
flames, facilitate their wishes and wants. Those with
zeal will surely become great allies in time. Many
flames make a wildfire.
Embrace Fate. You are a being drawn by destiny.
Brought along, like a raging forest fire. You surge
along a path and should avoid retreating or faltering.
Doing so will lead you to your destiny.
OATH SPELLS 
You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed. 
Paladin Level  Spells 
3rd  burning hands, searing smite
5th  flame blade, heat metal
9th  daylight, elemental weapon 
13th  stoneskin, wall of fire
17th  flamestrike, wall of stone
CHANNEL DIVINITY
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the
following two Channel Divinity options. 
Roaring Flames. You can use your Channel Divinity
to wreathe your blades with holy fire. For the next
minute, your melee attacks deal an additional 1d4 fire
damage.
Volcanic Prison. You can use your Channel Divinity
to craft a volcanic prison around a creature you can
see within range. That creature must make a
Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC.
On a failure, the creature becomes restrained within a
vice of volcanic rock. At the start of each of its
turns while imprisoned, it takes 1d6 + your Charisma
fire damage.
It can use its action to attempt to escape the prison,
making an Athletics check against your Spell Save DC.
INFERNO SMITE
At 7th level, you become able to empower your blade
with explosive flame. When you hit a creature with a
melee weapon attack, you can expend a spell slot to
create a plume of flame that explodes from your
blade.
The target of your attack, and every creature in a 30-
foot line behind them, must make a Dexterity saving
throw. On a failure, the creature takes 2d6 fire
damage and on a success, the creature takes half as
much damage.
21
The damage of this feature increases by 1d6 for each
spell slot level expended above 1st level.
SMOULDERING AURA
At 15th level, you can choose to emanate an aura of
intense heat in an area 10-feet around you. This area
is distorted by heat, making it more difficult to hit
you.
Any creature that makes a ranged attack against you
from further than 10 feet away makes the attack as if
you have half cover.
Additionally, whenever a creature starts its turn
within 10 feet of you, it takes fire damage equal to
your Charisma modifier.
PRIMORDIAL AVATAR
At 20th level, you can take on the form of a fiery
champion of the purest flame, taking on an
appearance that you choose. For example, your skin
may turn the darkest black, with lines of magma
running beneath, or you may spread phoenix wings
from your back and glow with the fire of a thousand
suns. Your body becomes swift and resilient
and burns those who strike you with volcanic fury.
Using your action, you undergo a transformation. For
1 minute, you gain the following benefits:
 You become immune to fire damage, and
resistant to bludgeoning, piercing and
slashing damage.
 You gain an extra action on your turn, which
you can only use to take the Attack (one
weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or
Use Object actions.
 Whenever a creature hits you with a melee
weapon attack, they take 2d8 fire damage.
OATH OF THE STORM GOD.
The storm is chaotic, but within its eye there is calm.
Paladins of the Storm God Oath are warriors of the
elements. They serve to protect the realm from
creatures from other realms, wielding the lightning of
their gods as the tool with which to strike down such
threats.
TENETS
Protect the Realm. The realm is constantly at threat
from other planes; fiends, fey and elementals
constantly threaten life in the material. It is your job
to banish these creatures before they cause harm.
Be the Eye of the Storm. Only by being calm and
collected will the storm gather around you; you must
be able to control its winds, rather than being swept
away by them.
Plane before Kingdom. You are a force that protects
the plane from its invaders; not a force for wars
between kings. You are unlikely to become involved
in such trivial conflicts, unless you are suspicious that
more nefarious enemies are behind them.
OATH SPELLS 
You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed. 
Paladin Level  Spells 
3rd  thunderwave, thunderous smite
5th  gust of wind, warding wind
9th  fly, lightning bolt  
13th  elemental bane, storm sphere
17th  maelstrom, steel wind strike
CHANNEL DIVINITY
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the
following Channel Divinity option. 
Primordial Seal. As an action you present your holy
symbol and chant a prayer of sealing, using your
Channel Divinity. Choose one elemental, fey or fiend
within 5 feet of you that you can see. That creature
must make a Charisma saving throw. Elementals have
disadvantage on this saving throw, and a willing
creature can choose to automatically fail this save.
On a failed save, the creature becomes sealed for 1
minute, incapacitating it. While sealed in this way, the
creature is immune to all damage until the effect ends,
as it occupies a space on a slightly different plane to
your own. A sealed creature can repeat the save at the
end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a
success.
LIGHTNING STRIKES
Also, at 3rd level, the way you channel your god's
wrath changes from radiance into the form of holy
lightning. When you use your Divine Smite feature, it
deals lightning damage instead of radiant damage,
and when you do so, the smite does not deal extra
damage to undead creatures, instead gaining the extra
1d8 damage dice when used against an elemental, fey
or fiend.
22
Lightning damage dealt to elementals using this
feature ignore resistance to lightning damage
and treat immunity to lightning damage as if it were
resistance.
AURA OF THE STORM GOD
Beginning at 7th level, your connection to the tempest
weathers the force of storms for you and those
around you. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet
of you gain resistance to lightning and thunder
damage. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases
to 30 feet.
COMMANDER OF LIGHTNING
At 15th level, you wield lightning bolts as if they are
mere javelins, weaving them into your normal fighting
style. Whenever you cast lightning bolt as an action,
you can make a melee weapon attack as a bonus
action.
WARRIOR OF THE STORM
At 20th level, you can invite the spirit of the storm god
into your body, becoming an unstoppable warrior
clad in lightning armour, surrounded by a condensed
hurricane.
Using your action, you undergo the transformation.
For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:
 You become immune to lightning and thunder
damage.
 You can teleport up to 60 feet using your
movement action. When you teleport within 5
feet of a creature, it must make a Constitution
saving throw or take 2d8 thunder damage.
 All attack rolls have disadvantage on you,
buffeted by the intense winds that emanate off
your body.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until
you finish a long rest.
OATH OF TRUTH.
Paladins that follow the Oath of Truth are haters of
lies and deception. They are crusaders against the
tides of secret keeping and conspiracy, a torch to
illuminate scrolls hidden in dark cloisters. They hunt
those who hold dark secrets and spread knowledge to
the masses. They are the divine inquisitor.
Their natural enemies are the followers of gods that
seek to misguide the masses; gods that hold dark
secrets to their chests, and those that indulge in
trickery and illusion. A paladin sworn to the Oath of
Truth is never foggy-eyed; the path is always clear to
take.
TENETS
Seek the Truth. The truth is the holiest of all things.
Nothing is purer than the absolute, and it is your
responsibility to attempt to extract this in all things
you do.
Honour the Truthful. Those that speak their truths
are to be honoured and helped. One with nothing to
hide is holy and deserves holy service. No matter their
working class or race, a truthful man is a friend.
Punish the Liar. As those that speak truths are
honourable, the act of lying is a grave sin. If anyone
dare lie to your holy symbol, they deserve to be
punished. The severity of the lie should discern the
severity of the punishment.
Clear the Mist. Wizards and magic-users use their
magic to draw fog over the eyes of many, and corrupt
nobles lie to their people. To clear this fog is a great
service to the people, and a greater show of worship
to your god.

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the

Extort Truth. Over one minute, you present your holy
symbol and chant a prayer to extort the truth from a
creature within 10 feet of you that can see, hear and

on all Deception checks they make against you whilst
outside of combat.
When you use your Insightful Warrior feature on a
creature, you gain advantage on attack rolls against
them until the start of your next turn, in addition to
imposing disadvantage on their attack rolls.

ALL-SEEING EYE
At 20th level, you can awaken the holy all-seeing
eye, opening a third, divine eye in your forehead,
lasting for 10 minutes. This eye grants you a range of
benefits, listed below:
 You gain truesight out to 60 feet.
 You have a passive Perception of 15 + your
Perception skill bonus.
 You can’t roll lower than a 15 on the dice

RANGER
The grizzled grey man opens his eyes to a world of
black and white, traces of magic seeping into the
scene in bright colours of red green and blue. He’s
caught the scent, and he follows it; that hag will not be
alive much longer.
The firbolg stands tall with quarterstaff in hand, and
places his palm on his chest. A raiment of hardened
bark sprouts from his skin, covered in a menagerie of
useful plants. As his enemies charge forward, they are
caught in a garden of strangling grasses and assailed
with acidic bulbs.
The two ranger archetypes in this supplement are the
Mage Hunter, an archetype that could have gone to a
few classes, but in the end could only really go to the
Ranger, as they are in the end the master huntsman,
and the Weald Warrior, a kind of Battle-Druid that
uses a range of plants as a toolkit to assist in their
combat.
RANGER ARCHETYPE: MAGE
HUNTER
Magic is one of the largest causes of chaos in society.
Arcane practitioners can lay waste to civilisation
without a second thought, wielding powers that are
difficult to thwart for your typical defence force. For
this cause, some rangers take up the mage hunter
profession.
These wanderers are prepared to fight against casters
and creatures that make extensive use of magic.
Carrying the abilities to nullify the magic of enemy
casters, they hunt down those who use magic
inappropriately, slaying those that threaten the weak
with their power.
MAGE HUNTER SPELLS
You learn one of the following spells at the levels
detailed in the table below, in addition to spells you
learned from levelling up. If you have already learned
both spells, you can learn a different one instead.
Ranger Level Spells
3rd level detect magic, identify
5th-level knock, see invisibility
9th-level counterspell, dispel magic
13th-level banishment, freedom of movement
17th-level banishing smite, dispel evil and
good
EIDETIC SPELL KNOWLEDGE
At 3rd level when you choose this archetype, you have
studied the intricacies of magic, and if you have seen a
spell, you are unlikely to fall for it again. You have
analysed every spell you have witnessed up until you
gained this ability, and whenever you see a new spell,
you can make an Arcana check against a DC equal to
10 plus the spell’s level. On a success, that spell is
added to your list of analysed spells. Whenever a
spell you have analysed targets you and forces you to
make a saving throw, you can use your reaction
to gain advantage on the saving throw.
INHIBIT MAGIC
At 7th level, you become able to shock a caster's
magical nervous system, temporarily disabling an
enemy caster’s spell slots. When you hit a creature
that has the Spellcaster or Innate Spellcasting
feature with a melee attack, you can expend a spell
slot to force the creature to make a saving throw
based on their Spellcasting Ability against your spell
save DC.
On a failure, the creature's magical capabilities are
temporarily congested, requiring additional power to
cause magic to manifest. When the caster tries to cast
a spell, it must use a spell slot that is a number of
levels higher than the base level equal to the spell slot
level you consumed to inhibit their magic. A spell cast
at a higher level in this way resolves as if it was still
cast at its base level; the additional magical power is
used purely to break the inhibition. Once 1 round has
passed, or a creature casts a spell, this effect ends on
it.
For example, Deminar, a 9th-level ranger, inhibits the
magic of a 11th-level wizard using a 3rd-level slot. The
wizard wishes to cast burning hands at 2nd level, but
must cast it at 5th-level, as he must add 3 (the spell
slot level Deminar expended) to the casted spell’s slot
level. Despite casting burning hands at 5th level, the
resulting spell is still only cast at 2nd-level.
WITCH HUNT
When you reach 11th level, you become able to push
your senses to the limit, heightening your awareness
of mages and magical presence, and
augmenting your ability to create
countermeasures against those who use magic against
you.
As a bonus action, you can go into a special state
called a witch hunt. For the next hour, you are
constantly under the effect of the detect
25
magic spell, and you gain a +1d4 bonus to saving
throws against all spells. Additionally, you
deal 1d6 additional damage on every weapon attack
you make against creatures that can cast spells.
After you use this feature, you can't use it again until
you finish a long rest.
ANTI-MAGIC
When you reach 15th level, your mastery in evading
spells becomes infallible. When you make a save
against a spell that deals damage, you take no damage
if you succeed the save and the spell is a
spell you have analysed with your eidetic
spell knowledge.
RANGER ARCHETYPE: WEALD
WARRIOR
A weald warrior is somewhat of a battle-druid. They
are guardians of the wood that use the plants around
them to defeat their foes. In the midst of battle, they
cultivate a garden of useful plants to help
them outmanoeuvre and dismantle their foes. Calling
forth powerful barkskin armour and firing arrows
that bulge with clusters of acidic bulbs, a weald
warrior wages war against those that threaten to
destroy the forests and thickets they hold dear.
WEALD WARRIOR’S SPELLS
You learn the following spells at the levels detailed in
the table below, in addition to spells you learn from
levelling up.
Ranger Level  Spells 
3rd level  entangle
5th-level  barkskin
9th-level  plant growth  creatures that are formless, or creatures that are
13th-level  guardian of nature 
17th-level  awaken
AGROMANCY
At 3rd level, you become able to rapidly cultivate
plant seeds using ranger magics to assist you in
combat. Whenever you take a long rest, you scavenge
for useful seeds and bulbs as a part of that rest,
provided you are in a location that seeds can be
found. You gather 1d4 + your proficiency
bonus pouches of magical seeds, with which you can
use to fuel these features, as listed below. The amount
of seeds you gather increases to 2d4 + your
proficiency bonus once you reach 11th-level.
You can’t use more than one of the below features in a
single turn, and all plants conjured by this feature or
through other features from this archetype vanish
after 1 minute has passed.
Choking Fungus. As a part of a weapon attack action,
you can expend 1 pouch of seeds, causing a fungus
that has choking spores to grow across the weapon or
ammunition. If you hit with the attack, the creature hit
must make a Constitution saving throw or they fall
prone from choking.
Deathbulb. As a bonus action, you can
expend 1 pouch of seeds to cause a bulb filled with
corrosive acid to grow on your weapon or
ammunition. If you hit with the attack, the creature
takes an additional 1d6 acid damage for each bulb
grown. You can expend more seeds on this ability to
cause an additional bulb to grow on the weapon or
ammunition for every 1 seed pouch you expend after
the first set, up to an additional 4 seed pouches.
Tanglegrass. As a bonus action, you can empty any
number of seed pouches in spaces within 15 feet of
you. For each space covered, you must expend 1
pouch of seeds. Each space covered by seeds rapidly
grows into difficult terrain called Tanglegrass,
finishing its growth at the start of your next turn. If
creatures end their turn in the Tanglegrass, they must
make a Strength saving throw or become grappled by
the grass. The grass lasts for 1 minute.
Netvine. As a part of a weapon attack action, you can
expend 1 pouch of seeds, causing the weapon or
ammunition to become writhed in thin, but hardy
vines. Your weapon or ammunition gains
the following property for the attack:
A Large or smaller creature hit by a netvine is
restrained until it is freed. A netvine has no effect on
Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a
Strength check of your spell save DC, freeing itself or
another creature within its reach on a success.
Dealing 5 + ranger level slashing damage to the net
(AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it,
ending the effect and destroying the netvine.
Rafflesia. As a bonus action, you can expend 2
pouches of seeds, pouring them into a space adjacent
to you, or tie them to a piece of ammunition.
A Rafflesia plant grows in the space you poured the
seeds in or the space the arrow landed, at the start of
your next turn. It has hit points equal to 10 + your
ranger level, AC 10, and immunity to psychic damage.
It gives off a terrible odour, causing all creatures that
have a sense of smell and that begin their turn within
5 feet of the plant to make a Constitution saving
26
throw. On a failed save, the creature is poisoned until
the start of its next turn, and on a successful save, the
creature becomes immune to the effects of
the Rafflesia for 24 hours.
Brightflower. As a bonus action, you expend 1 pouch
of seeds, pouring them into a space adjacent to you, or
tie them to a piece of ammunition.
A Brightflower plant grows in the space you poured
the seeds in or the space the arrow landed, at the start
of your next turn. It has 5 hit points, AC 10, and
immunity to psychic damage. When the flower dies, it
emits a bright flash, causing any creatures with eyes
that are within 15 feet to make a Constitution saving
throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes blinded
for 1 minute. A creature blinded in this way can
repeat the save at the end of their turn, ending the
effect on themselves on a success.
Honeydew Pods. As a bonus action, you expend up to
3 pouches of seeds, pouring them into an equal
number of spaces adjacent to you. After 1d4-1 rounds
(minimum of 1) each pouch of seeds
grows into a stem with a pouch like pod on the end,
filled with liquid called honeydew. A creature can use
a bonus action to drink from a pod to regain 1d4 +
your wisdom modifier hit points.
WOODLAND ARMOUR
At 7th-level, you learn how to craft effective and
comfortable armour made of the bark of trees using
your magic, and even cause life to grow upon it. When
you cast barkskin, instead of setting your AC to 16,
you instead don a set of magical medium armour
made of bark, that grants 16 AC plus your Dexterity
modifier, up to a maximum of +2.
Additionally, as a part of casting the spell, you can
expend up to 3 pouches of seeds to cause plants to
start growing on the armour. You can choose from
any of the options from the Agromancy feature
except Tanglegrass or Netvine. Choking Fungus
and Deathbulbs attached to woodland armour trigger
when a creature successfully hits you with a melee
weapon attack, incurring a Constitution or Dexterity
saving throw respectively.
choose plants that normally work by making attack
rolls, they instead trigger when a creature enters
the space they reside in. Death Bulbs triggered in this
way incur a Dexterity saving throw,
while Netvine incurs a Strength saving throw instead.
In addition, you are unimpeded by the difficult terrain
that plant growth creates when you cast it; you can
move through it like normal terrain.
GREAT TREE
At 15th-level, you can conjure forth the Great Tree,
a spiritual, fey tree under the boughs of which
creatures are protected and nature flourishes. As an
action, you expend 1 pouch of seeds to call the great
tree. It sprouts from a space you are adjacent to and
its canopy stretches in a 20-foot radius around that
space, and remains until 1 minute has passed, or it is
destroyed. It has 50 hit points, an AC of 12, immunity
to psychic damage and vulnerability to fire damage.
Once you call the great tree, you can’t do it again until
you complete a long rest.
While you and up to 5 other creatures of your choice
are beneath the tree, you gain temporary hit points
equal to your Wisdom modifier at the start of each of
your turns, and you have advantage on saving throws
against spells. At the beginning of each turn, many
seeds fall from the tree, littering the area beneath
it. You can scavenge these seeds as a bonus
action while under the tree, gaining 1d4-1
pouches (minimum of 1) each time to fuel
your Agromancy features.

GROVE OF WAR
At 11th-level, you can combine your magic botany
with your ranger magics. When you cast plant growth,
you can expend any number of pouches to cause
plants of your choice to grow within the spell’s area.
You choose which spaces within the spell’s area are
filled with which plant from the agromancy list. If you

27

ROGUE
ROGUISH ARCHETYPE:
THE ACROBAT
The acrobat is a dancer on the battlefield; a master of
fluid movement, difficult jumps and dazzling aerial
tricks. They use their agility to baffle foes; an acrobat
is often seen leaping from atop an incoming blade,
into the air and up over their enemies' shoulders.
Their light step and quick wittedness allow them to
always gain an upper-hand on their opponents,
repositioning via acrobatic stunts to land key blows in
the heat of combat.
ACROBATIC DEFTNESS
At 3rd level when you choose this archetype,
you become able to use your Acrobatics skill in
combat. You can use your Cunning Action on your
turn to take the following special actions:
 Precise Steps. You ignore difficult terrain
caused by uneven ground, foliage obstruction,
or other non-magical effects and you have
advantage on Dexterity saving
throws until the start of your next turn.
 Circumvent. You make a contested Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check against an adjacent
enemies' Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check, and on a success, you can
pass through their space freely until the start
of your next turn.
 Quick Ascent. You gain a climb speed equal to
your speed and you can long jump and high
jump without a run up until the start of your
next turn.
AGILE DODGE
At 9th level, whenever an attack misses you, you can
use it to your advantage, repositioning quickly for a
favourable strike. As a reaction when you are missed
by an attack, or when you completely avoid damage
by using your Evasion feature, you can move up to
your speed in any direction. If you end this movement
within 5 feet of the creature that attacked you, you
have advantage on the first attack you make against
that creature on your next turn.
NIMBLE FEINT
At 13th level, your ability to weave strikes in with
displays of acrobatic prowess allow you to completely
disguise your weaponry in a flurry of gymnastic
stunts. When you make an attack on a creature, you
can attempt to make a contested Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check against their Wisdom (Perception)
check. On a success, you gain sneak attack damage on
a hit (even if the target is not engaged and you don't
have advantage), and if you do have advantage on the
roll, you deal an additional 3d6 damage in addition to
the sneak attack damage. If you fail the acrobatics
check, you must instead make the attack roll with
disadvantage.
UNPARALLELED MOBILITY
At 17th level, you are nimble beyond normal, mortal
capability. Whenever you use your Cunning Action to
Dash or Disengage, you can use the bonuses of all
three Acrobatic Deftness actions for at will until the
start of your next turn.
ROGUISH ARCHETYPE:
THE SAND DANCER
While many rogues use agility and deftness
to outmanoeuvre their foes, you corral flowing
sands by way of an ancient dance known as the dance
of the desert, passed down through tribes of desert
nomads for generations. Rogues of this
archetype use dancing sands to deflect
blows, manoeuvre themselves and their allies across
the battlefield, and scorch the skin of enemies that
tread too close.
DANCE OF THE DESERT
At 3rd level when you choose this archetype, you
become able to perform the dance of the desert. As a
bonus action, you whip up sands around yourself in a
wild veil, burning the skin of those around you. This
dance lasts for 1 minute, and then it ends. You can
perform the dance twice, and then must complete a
long rest before you can perform it again. While
dancing, you can utilise a range of features gained
through this class.
At the end of each of your turns while you are
dancing, you can choose to deal fire damage equal to a
third of your rogue level (rounded down) to all
creatures within 5 feet of you.
TAILWIND
Also at 3rd level, you can move in such a way that
grants allies alacrity. When you use your bonus action
to utilise your Cunning Action feature to Dash or
Disengage during a Dance of the Desert, one creature
of your choice that is within 5 feet of you at the start
28
of your movement may take the Dash or Disengage
action as a bonus action on their next turn.
SCORCHING MIRAGE
At 7th level, you become able to use the sands
billowing around you to evoke mirages of yourself,
allowing you to threaten with feints and then deliver
a fiery blow. You can use your Bonus Action to gain
advantage on the next attack roll you make this
round.
Any damage dealt by your Sneak Attack feature
while using this feature deals fire damage rather
than damage of the weapon’s type.
DESERT SHIELD
Also at 7th-level, your uncanny dodge is improved
during your Dance of the Desert, as you become able
to deflect the damage of incoming attacks using a coat
of sand. Whenever you use uncanny dodge, you take
no damage from the attack if it deals 5 or less damage
after being halved.
SAND’S STEP
At 11th level, your sand fashions footholds for you as
you dance, allowing you to walk through the sky. You
gain a flying (hover) speed equal to your
speed, but this flight is unreliable. If you take damage
while you are in the air, you must make a
Concentration check. If you fail, the sand vanishes,
and you begin to plummet.
GREAT DUET
At 17th level, your dance manipulates the scorching
hot sands, creating an illusory duplicate of you. The
duplicate lasts until the dance ends, or until you
choose to dismiss it. Despite being an illusion, the
whirling sands that make up its form takes up a space,
and any creature within 5 feet of it are valid targets
for the fire damage dealt by your dance. You may
move the duplicate on your turn a distance equal to
your speed.
While you continue to dance, you can use your bonus
action and spend 1 dancer point to swap places with
the duplicate. When you do so, you teleport to the
space the duplicate occupied, and it reappears in your
old location.
SORCERER
The high elf stands loftily, watching the battle unfold.
He notes the position of the sun and then runs off into
the fray, blasting his enemies with arcane fury. After
about 15 seconds, a rift in time opens, and the high elf
reappears where he stood, all his wounds of battle
healed.
The dragonborn glimmers like a diamond, its scales
shining in the sunlight. As a firebolt flies towards it,
the scales flush a deep red, and it is absorbed by her;
the magic bouncing through her and then out her
other hand.
Cackling gleefully, the serial killer flicks his fingers,
and sharp blades sprout from his fingertips. He uses
them to slash across the guards that chase him,
teleporting from place to place as he goes.
There are three sorcerer archetypes in this
supplement. The Temporal Anomaly sorcerer is a
chronomancer, a sorcerer that can influence time to a
small degree! A Prismatic Core sorcerer has the
equivalent of fibre-optic veins for magic; they can
refract all sorts of magic into a rainbow of colours. A
Steelskin sorcerer is a person with metal flesh; they
can sculpt their body into weapons to use against
their enemies.
I think each of these sorcerer archetypes are really
fun and interesting, and I hope you enjoy them a lot.
SORCEROUS ORIGIN:
TEMPORAL ANOMALY
A sorcerer wields magic due to a supernatural
occurrence. It is sometimes given to them by their
ancestor’s blood, and sometimes as a gift given from a
higher power. Some are awakened by a gruelling
event, and some are nurtured as purebloods of arcane
origin. Some sorcerers, however, come to being as a
result of a chronological disturbance.
You are a sorcerer because you were born at an
unequivocal time where time and space intersected.
As a result, your magical charge is a direct result of
your four-dimensional being. While you may not be
aware of it yourself, you are an anchor in time, an
occurrence that was preordained to happen, and
across many dimensions, while others may have
existed or not existed, you, without a doubt, do. Due to
this anchorage in time, you can manipulate it as if it is
natural to you.
29
CHRONOLOGICAL DIVERGENCE
At 1st level when you take this origin, you can alter
time in short bursts whenever you tap into your
magical heritage, allowing you to act at the most
opportune moment. After casting a spell of 1st-level
or higher on your turn, you can choose to adjust your
initiative score by 5*, either increasing or decreasing
it. You can do this a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier, and then you must finish a long
rest to do it again.
Whenever you do this, the timeline you jump into
must adjust for the anomalies in your position. At the
start of your next turn, you can teleport up to 10 feet
in any direction.
CHRONOMANCY
At 6th level, your ability to influence the passage of
time for yourself and other creatures allows you to
heighten the effects of temporal spells.
You may learn either the haste or the slow spell. If you
already know both spells, you may learn a different
spell of your choice instead. You also learn the
following metamagic options, which allow you
to improve those spells somewhat.
Greater Haste. You can expend 3 sorcery points to
improve a haste spell you cast, granting the target of
the spell the ability to cast cantrips using their hasted
action.
Greater Slow. You can expend 3 sorcery points to
improve a slow spell you cast, causing the spell to
reduce the AC and Dexterity saving throws of
affected creatures by 3 instead of 2, and also causes
the spell to reduce their speed to one-third of their
normal speed (rounded up to the nearest 5ft), instead
of one-half.
TEMPORAL WARP
At 14th level, you are able to anchor an image of
yourself onto a specific point in time, preparing to
return to that state again in the near future. As an
action on your turn, you can expend 5 sorcery points
to prepare the anchor. Note down the following
details when you create the anchor:
 Your current hit points.
 Your current location.
 The amount of spell slots you currently have.
 Any spells or spell like effects that are
affecting you.
 The remaining duration on any spells or spell
like effects that currently are affecting you
(including negative effects).
At the end of your turn in 1d4 rounds, you instantly
return to the space you anchored yourself in,
returning to the state you were in when you made the
anchor. Your hit points return to the hit point total
you noted down, you instantly teleport to the location
you noted, you regain spell slots until you have the
same amount of spell slots as you noted down, and
the remaining duration on any spells or spell like
effects that are affecting you are reset to the value you
noted down.
If you were put under the effect of any spells or spell-
like effects after you created the anchor, those effects
instantly end when the anchor is triggered.
Once you have used this ability, you gain 1 level of
exhaustion and can’t use it again until you finish a
long rest.
GREATER TIME STOP
At 18th level, your time stop spell is improved due to
your intimate affinity with time. If you do not
know the spell time stop you learn it. During your time
stop spell, you can now perform actions that affect
other creatures without ending the effect, provided
that they are caused by spells you cast. These spells
can only be cantrips or spells of 3rd-level or
lower, and whenever you do affect any creature with
one of your spells in this way, you must expend a
sorcery point and make a DC15 Concentration check.
On a failure, the time stop effect immediately ends, as
explained in the normal spell description.
SORCEROUS ORIGIN:
PRISMATIC CORE
The prismatic core sorcerer uses their unique body to
catch and release magic of the main elemental types.
They can redirect damage and trap it within
themselves to blast at their enemies later. They come
about in a number of ways; gemstone dragons often
create these sorcerers, as does proximity to a number
of magical gemstones before birth.
PRISMATIC REFRACTION
At 1st level when you select this origin, you can use
your ability to refract energy through your prismatic
core to absorb and redirect some of the damage you
take from magical sources.
Choose a damage type from acid, cold, fire, poison,
lightning, radiant or thunder damage to be your
30
refractive index. Whenever you receive damage of
your refractive indexes' current type, you can use
your reaction to refract the damage.
When you do so, you must choose another creature
within 30 feet of you. Make a spell attack against them
and select any damage type other than your refractive
indexes' type from the list above. The damage you
take is reduced by 1d8 + your Charisma modifier, and
on a hit, the creature you targeted takes an equal
amount of damage of the type you selected from the
list.
Immediately after using this ability, you can choose to
change your refractive index to the type of damage
you just dealt.
After using this ability, you cannot use it again until
you cast a spell of 1st-level or higher that deals
damage of a type that matches your refractive index.
CHROMATIC ALTERATION
At 6th level, you can use your refractive index to
influence the damage type of spells that you cast, and
spells you cast can now also influence your refractive
index. Whenever you cast a spell that deals damage of
any type on the refractive index list, you can choose to
spend 1 sorcery point to cause that spell to instead
deal damage of your refractive indexes' current type.
Alternatively, if you cast a spell that deals damage of a
type other than your refractive indexes' type, you can
change your refractive index to that spells' damage
type as a part of casting the spell. This occurs after the
spell is cast, rather than before.
TOTAL INTERNAL REFRACTION
At 14th level, you can cause damage of your refractive
indexes' type to become trapped inside your body,
granting you its energy. Whenever you take damage
of your refractive indexes' type, and use your reaction
to use prismatic refraction, you can spend 5 sorcery
points to trap the energy inside of you, causing it to go
into total internal refraction.
You take no damage of your refractive indexes' type
from the attack or spell, and its damage instead
becomes stored inside your body. When you next deal
damage that matches your refractive indexes' type,
you deal additional damage equal to half of the
damage you would have taken if you had not used this
feature.
After using this ability, you can't use it again until
you complete a long rest or cast a spell of 5th level or
higher that deals damage of a type that matches your
refractive index.
POLYCHROMATIC DISPERSION
At 18th level, you learn the prismatic wall spell.
Additionally, as a bonus action on your turn, you can
cause your prismatic core to go into overdrive for 1
minute, causing your refractive indexes’ damage type
to become every damage type on the refractive index
list, and you become resistant to all of those damage
types.
Whenever you deal damage that matches any damage
type on the list during this effect, you deal additional
damage equal to your Charisma modifier (applies only
once per spell cast).
After you use this feature, you can’t use it again until
you complete a long rest, or you cast a 9th-level spell
that deals damage of more than one damage type
from the refractive index list.
SORCEROUS ORIGIN: STEELSKIN
A steelskin sorcerer can originate from a few different
sources; the most common of which, a freak
accident: a powerful caster used the spell true
polymorph on a weapon, and permanently
polymorphed it into a human. You could be
descended from this weapon-human or be them
yourself. Other sources of a steelskin sorcerer
include the close encounter with death at the hand of
a magical weapon or being near to or trapped within
a source of magically enchanted metal for an extended
period of time.
STEELSKIN HARDENING
At 1st level when you choose this origin,
you should consider the weapon that your steelskin
likens itself to; it could be the weapon that your
ancestor was polymorphed from, or just any weapon
that you manifest your steelskin to look like; your
arms could sharpen to cutting edges, your pointed
hands as sharp as needles, or your fists could just
become as hard and durable as steel. Your steelskin
can manifest in whatever guise you wish, but
you must select what type of damage it
deals; bludgeoning, slashing or piercing damage.
You can make a weapon attack with your steelskin
that deals 1d8 damage of your chosen type. Weapon
attacks you make in this way can use your Charisma
modifier to determine bonuses to attack and damage
rolls, instead of Strength. Additionally, while you
31
aren’t wearing armour, your AC equals 10 + your
Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.
Your steelskin counts as a weapon for the purposes of
fulfilling a material component to spells that require a
weapon, or as a target for spells that target
nonmagical or magical weapons.
You can select one of the following descriptors for
your steelskin: light, thrown
(20/60ft), reach or heavy. A steelskin that
is light deals 1d6 damage instead of 1d8 but can be
used in two-weapon fighting, as if you are wielding an
off-hand weapon. A steelskin that is thrown can be
used to make ranged weapon attacks against
creatures, as blades splinter from your skin to form
projectiles. A reach steelskin has a melee reach of 10
feet, instead of 5 feet. A heavy steelskin deals 1d10
damage instead of 1d8 damage but reduces your
movement speed by 5 feet.
EXPANDED SPELL LIST
You have access to an expanded spell list of spells to
choose from when you learn a sorcerer spell. Any
spell you learn from the table below counts as a
sorcerer spell for you.
Spell Level Spells
1st searing smite, thunderous smite
2nd heat metal, magic weapon
3rd blinding smite, elemental weapon
4th freedom of movement, staggering smite
5th banishing smite, steel wind strike
EXTRA ATTACK
At 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the attack action on your
turn. Additionally, weapon attacks you make with
your steelskin are counted as magical for the
purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity.
STEEL AND SORCERY
At 14th level, you can use your sorcery to harden your
steel. You can, over a period of 1 minute,
expend sorcery points to bolster your steelskin. You
spend up to three sorcery points and then gain a
bonus to attack and damage rolls with your steelskin
equal to the amount of sorcery points you spent. This
bonus lasts for 1 hour before fading.
Additionally, when you make an attack action and use
your extra attack feature while you are empowered in
this way, you can choose to cast a cantrip in place of
one of the attacks you make.
METALLURGIC BODY
At 18th level, your steelskin has evolved to a point
where it coats your entire body and has gained the
ability to harden to incredible levels. Your AC equals
15 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma
modifier, and you can expend 1 sorcery point
whenever you are hit to gain resistance to
bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage for that
attack.
When you make an attack with your steelskin, you can
choose to sacrifice the additional AC and ability to
gain resistance granted by this feature until
the start of your next turn. When you do, your attacks
deal one additional damage dice of damage until the
end of your turn.
WARLOCK
The Tiefling clutches a pair of dice between his
fingers, grinning to himself. He chuckles, and then
fires an eldritch blast at the man threatening him. Just
before it hits, he rolls the dice, and rolls a double. In
response, the eldritch blast flares with energy, tearing
through his enemy within seconds.
Barnacle covered and wretched, the man watches as
the mob of villagers approach with torches and
pitchforks aplenty. He sips some tea from the cup held
in his tentacle limb, and then conjures a tidal wave,
sweeping them all away.
That man at the bar always acts strange; he moves
almost like a puppet, jerky, and unpredictable. Little
do the other patrons know, he is actually controlled
by invisible strings; an instrument for a more
powerful being behind the curtain.
These three warlock archetypes are some of my
favourite in the entire book. The Gambler is the
ultimate fate-tester; equipped with a range of games
of chance, they barter with their patron for power.
The Leviathan warlock is Davy Jones’ worst
nightmare. Choosing from a range of oceanic
mutations, they worship kraken and other deep-sea
monstrosities. The Puppeteer is a pact that is
particularly unique. A warlock of this patron is
completely controlled by their patron – the player
plays the patron, instead of the warlock: how cool is
that!

OTHERWORLDLY PATRON: THE
GAMBLER
Gambler warlocks are a special breed; vagabonds
with extreme panache and a caddishness second to
none, they daily put their lives to chance. A Gambler
gains their power from the pact they make with a
special extraplanar entity; a Patron of Chance. These
patrons can be anything from a devil of greed to a
playful dragon. The gambler plays games of chance
with the patron, rolling dice, and whenever they win,
they are granted boons far beyond their wildest
dreams. However, when they lose, they
are rebuked by the patron’s powers, injuring them…
or worse.   luck. Whenever you are forced to make a saving

are prideful and confident in their ability to cheat fate,
and often dive into situations they are unlikely to
escape from. Most Gamblers think of gold first, and
death second. Such lives are often short, but those

When you choose this patron at 1st level, your
patron offers you the opportunity to gamble for
power. Whenever you roll damage for an attack or
spell, you can roll 2d6. If you roll doubles, your attack
deals double damage. If you roll any other value, your
attack deals half damage.
Lucky Streak. Rolling doubles in this game is
considered a critical success for the purposes of
gaining a Fate point.
ELDRITCH DICE GAMES
Also, at 1st level your patron teaches you the rules of
an eldritch dice game. You can choose one of these
games, and then one more at 6th and 14th level.
Listed at the end of the archetype description are the
three dice games available: Roll the Bones, The River
Flows, and Stars Align.
Sometimes a game of choice asks for a creature to
make a saving throw. In this case, the DC equals your
spell save DC.
LUCKY STREAK
At 6th level, you start to ride lucky streaks whenever
you win big. Whenever you critically succeed an
attack roll, ability check, or win in a game against your
extraplanar entity, you gain a fate point. You can store
an amount of fate points equal to your charisma
modifier, and once you complete a long rest, your
amount of fate points returns to 0.
Whenever you roll a dice, you expend a fate point to
reroll that dice, and when you do so, you can use
either result.
Every game has different critical success criteria. The
criteria for each game are found at the end of the
game’s description.
STROKE OF LUCK

entity to a game of chance in return for a stroke of

automatically fail the saving throw. On heads, you

succeed.

As a reaction, you can expend a Fate point to force a
dice to land on a specific number of your choice. You
can use multiple Fate points to affect multiple dice at
once, if you are rolling them at the same time, but you
must make a Sleight of Hand check for each of them.
When you do so, you must succeed on a DC15
Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to succeed. You
must use this ability before you roll the dice, not after
you see the result.

OTHERWORLDLY PATRON:
THE LEVIATHAN
Your patron is a shrouded entity that resides in the
darkest depths of the seas, a figment of sea shanties
and the origin of shipwreck myth. Such creatures are
wildly intelligent and are often intensely protective of
their deep thrones.
They reside in the black of chasms in the seabed, the
craters of underwater volcanoes, and the sunken
relics of great ships now sundered. The beast may be
aware of your existence; perhaps it even saved you
from a close call with a watery grave. Alternatively, it
may be a point of your worship. Such creatures
include the Kraken, the Mizuchi, and
the Aspidochelone.
EXPANDED SPELL LIST
Being the warlock of a leviathan patron expands your
selection of spells to choose from. The following spells
are added to the warlock spell list for you.

to taking damage, you can fly 30 feet in any direction

the cloud is heavily obscured.
After you use this feature, you can’t use it again until
you complete a short rest.
Stinging Tassels. You grow a set of long tassels that
float from your body, not unlike that of a jellyfish.
When you are hit by a creature, you can use your
reaction to deal 1d8 lightning damage to them and
cause them to lose their ability to take reactions until
the start of their next turn.
Tentacles. You sprout a tentacle from your torso,
which you can manipulate and use as an arm. When
you make the attack action on your turn, you can
make an additional attack as a bonus action, so long as
you are wielding another weapon in one of your
tentacles.
Unhinged Jaw. Your jaw dislocates, and your teeth
become serrated and sharp. You can use your action
to make a melee attack against a creature within 5
feet. On a hit, the creature takes 2d6 + your strength
modifier piercing damage and becomes grappled in
your jaws.
35
OCEAN’S BREATH
At 6th level, your patron permanently alters your
body, preparing it for a life in the depths.
Your skin warps and changes, developing patches of
scales and membranes. You gain resistance to cold
damage, and you become able to breathe underwater,
and gain a swimming speed equal to your walking
speed.
In addition, you can extend the water breathing effect
onto up to 5 nearby creatures for up to 1 hour. Once
you have used this feature, you can’t use it again until
you complete a long rest.
DEEP OCCULTIST
At 10th level, your occult investigations into the
depths and the relationship you have with your
patron has granted you hidden knowledge, based on
the type of pact you selected:
SUNKEN BLADE
If you chose Pact of the Blade, you can cause your pact
weapon to deal cold damage on a hit if you wish, and
when you do so, it halves the speed of any creature
you hit with it.
BEAST OF THE DEEP
If you chose Pact of the Chain, you become able to
conjure a Deep Terror in place of your normal
familiar. You choose its base shape, choosing from any
underwater dwelling beast of CR 0, and then you
select what mutations it has, choosing two options
from below, gaining the feature described.
Additionally, the familiar gains additional hit points
equal to 2 + half your Warlock level. While your Deep
Terror is within 60 feet of you, it can swim in the air
around you as if it were water.
Camouflage Membrane. Your deep terror becomes
able to alter the cells its skin to mimic the colours of
its surroundings. If it does not move or act for 1
round, it becomes invisible. Acting or moving ends the
effect on it.
Crustacean Plates. Your terror develops a shell of
hard chitin that plates areas of your body. Its AC
equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier.
Escape Cloud. Your familiar becomes able to expel
ink out of its body, propelling itself to safety. As a
reaction to taking damage, it can fly 15 feet in any
direction without provoking opportunity attacks and
leaves a 5-foot radius cloud of suspended ink that
slowly falls to the ground over the next minute. The
area within the cloud is heavily obscured.
After your terror uses this feature, it can’t use it again
until it completes a short rest.
Light Lure. Your deep terror grows a long appendage
that has a bioluminescent light on its tip. It can switch
this light on and off as a bonus action, and it gives off
bright light in a 20-foot radius, and dim light in a 20-
foot radius.
Stinging Tendrils. Your deep terror grows long
stingers that drift out like a net from it. When a
creature moves within 5 feet of your familiar for the
first time on the turn, they must make a Dexterity
saving throw against your spell save DC or they take
1d8 lightning damage.
ABYSSAL GRIMOIRE
If you chose Pact of the Tome, you find a passage in
the tome that details various terrifying watery magics.
You can select three spells from any spell list of a level
that you can cast that either deal cold damage or
manipulate water, and immediately put them into
your spell list.
PELAGIC NIGHTMARE
At 14th level, you undergo another considerable
change in your physical form. You have two choices;
either you can choose to gain another Pelagic Horror
feature from the list above, different to the one you
chose at 1st level, or you can choose to heighten the
effects of the feature you chose at 1st level instead.
If you choose to heighten the feature, it changes
to become the one described below. If you choose to
take a secondary feature, you gain the version of the
feature detailed in the Pelagic Horror feature above.
Invisibility Membrane. You become able to alter the
cells in your skin to become completely invisible. If
you do not move or act for 1 round, or as a bonus
action on your turn, you become invisible. Attacking
an enemy or casting a spell ends this effect, but
otherwise, you stay invisible until a whole minute has
passed where you are acting and moving
consistently.
Crustacean Armour. You develop a shell of hard
chitin that plates areas of your body. When you aren’t
wearing armour, your AC equals 17 + your Dexterity
modifier.
36
Quick Escape Cloud. You become able to expel ink
out of your body, propelling yourself to safety. As a
reaction to being targeted by an attack, or as a
reaction to being placed into an area-of-effect
ability, you can fly 30 feet in any direction without
provoking opportunity attacks and leave a 10-foot
radius cloud of suspended ink that slowly falls to the
ground over the next minute. The area within the
cloud is heavily obscured.
After you use this feature twice, you can’t use it again
until you complete a short rest.
Second Tentacle. You sprout a second tentacle from
your torso, which you can manipulate and use
as an arm. When you make the attack action on your
turn, you can make two attacks as a bonus action, so
long as you are wielding a light weapon in both of
your tentacles.
Paralyzing Tassels. Your whiskers now exude a
horrid poison which paralyzes those that touch
them. When a creature takes damage from your
tassels, they must succeed on a Constitution saving
throw against your spell save DC or they are
paralyzed until the end of their next turn.
Powerful Unhinged Maw. Your jaw dislocates, and
your teeth become serrated and sharp. You can use
your action to make a melee attack against a creature
within 5 feet. On a hit, the creature takes 3d8 + your
strength modifier piercing damage and becomes
grappled in your jaws.
OTHERWORLDLY PATRON: THE
PUPPETEER
Unlike most other patrons, the puppeteer takes a
much closer interest in the actions of its subjects,
controlling most of their movement and speech, and
dominating completely over their minds. When you
create a warlock whose patron is the puppeteer, be
aware that the body of the character is merely a shell;
a vessel through which the patron shows itself in the
mortal realm.
You as the player, roleplay the character as a puppet,
and can, if the DM permits it, roleplay as the patron
also, using the character as a conduit for furthering
its own cosmic plans. Other than the abilities granted
by this patron, the patron has little influence over
the immediate world around the warlock, and as such,
can serve to be an enriching roleplay experience for
the player.
Such patrons are often creatures of weaker ilk than
those of their almighty cousins. Common options for
patrons of this type are horned devils looking to
further their rank, fey creatures with a distinct and
morbid curiosity for the mortal realm, or deva that
have a specific goal to achieve on the mortal realm,
whilst avoiding the scrutiny of evils that seek to
hinder it.
NOTES ON "THE PUPPETEER" AS A
WARLOCK PATRON
The Puppeteer is a different take on the Warlock class. Instead
of a warlock slowly gaining power given to them by their
patron, it is the patron that slowly gains power. The patron
completely controls their warlock, and is essentially the
player character, slowly improving their control over the
puppet and in turn their influence over the world.
All the class features, class levels and spell slots are features
that the patron possesses. The patron, influencing the material
plane from a distant interplanar location, needs time to
improve and strengthen their bond with the vessel and their
ability to manipulate the material plane. They gain experience
just like a normal player character, but that experience is
directly channelled into their Warlock level, which directly
reflects their "puppeteering" skill.
However, the puppeteer also has a puppet. The puppet you
chose probably has a backstory and a family, and eventually
some sort of eldritch occurrence led them to becoming your
puppet. All the racial features and ability scores of the
character belong to the puppet, not the puppeteer. The
puppet's Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma are guidelines for
how you should roleplay them to remain believable to other
characters in the world, and their Charisma specifically
represents how effectively you can channel your power
through them (as it affects your spellcasting bonus and spell
save DC).
The only exception to this is when you use an ability score
improvement. When you do this, it is a magical improvement
to the puppet's base abilities granted by your power. There is
a chance your puppet will change over the course of play, and
if this happens, your ability score improvement choices
remain the same, and are applied to your new puppet. All your
racial traits and base ability scores however change
completely to reflect the new puppet's race and capabilities.
EXPANDED SPELL LIST
Being a puppeteer lets you choose from an expanded
list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The
following spells are added to the warlock spell list for
you.

2nd levitate, phantasmal force
3rd nondetection, haste

EMPTY VESSEL
At 1st level, due to your puppet being an instrument
rather than a conscious being, it has advantage
against effects that threaten it to be charmed or
frightened, and against effects would put it to sleep.
Additionally, if your puppet dies, you can use your
reaction to attempt to enslave another humanoid
within 30 feet of the puppet, provided they are of a
character level lower than yours. When you do so,
they must succeed on a Charisma saving throw
against DC 10.
On a failure, they become your new puppet. Your class
level remains the same, and all your expended hit dice
and spell slots stay the same. However, your racial
abilities change in a similar way to the reincarnate
spell.
If they succeed against the saving throw, your
connection to the material plane withers and breaks,
and the only way you can exert control again is if your
original puppet is raised from the dead within 24
hours of its death.
PULL THE STRINGS
Also, at 1st level, you become able to tug on the
strings of your puppet, pulling it out of harm’s
way. Twice per short rest, you can use your reaction
to impose disadvantage on an attack roll that
targets your puppet. If the attack then misses, you can
move it 5 feet in any direction without imposing
opportunity attacks.
EXTEND GRASP
At 6th level, you become able to extend your grasp
beyond your puppet, forcing creatures to make moves
they wouldn’t ordinarily make. As a bonus action on
your turn, you can force a creature you can see within
30 feet of the puppet make a Charisma saving throw
against your spell save DC. A creature can choose to
fail this save if it wishes. On a failure, you force it to
move up to its speed in any direction, and then it loses
its movement action on its next turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to
half of your Charisma modifier (rounded up,
minimum of 1), and then must complete a short rest
before being able to use it again.
OCCULT MANIPULATOR
At 10th level, your ability to charm and coerce
becomes increasingly reliable. When you cast a spell
that threatens to charm a creature, or when you use
your Extend Grasp or Marionette in Chains feature,
you can use your reaction to give the creature
disadvantage on the roll.
You can do this once, and then you can’t do it again
until you finish a long rest.
MARIONETTE IN CHAINS
Once you reach 14th level, your ability to shackle
beings to your will becomes infallible, and you
become able to apply chain-like threads to creatures
your puppet touches, controlling them completely.
As an action, your puppet can touch a creature. That
creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On a
failure, the creature completely surrenders itself to
you, allowing you to control its actions accurately and
without restriction. Until the end of its next turn, you
control it. The chains linger on the target. As an
action on each of your subsequent turns for the
next minute, you can attempt to enslave the creature
again. When you do so, they can repeat the saving
throw. On a failure, you are able to control their
actions entirely on their next turn. On a success
however, the chains are broken, and the effect ends
entirely.
Once you have used this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a long rest.
WIZARD
The wizard stands there, arms crossed, as he
manipulates a dagger with his mage hand; cutting
down enemy after enemy as they charge towards him.
As an ogre turns the corner, he changes tactic, and
lifts the ogre high above the ground before dropping
it to its death.
Orc after orc falls as they attempt to charge the
wizened old man. His sallowed skin taught and his
hair greying, he slowly siphons the life from each of
them, and makes their attacks futile. Just a few more
souls, he thinks, before he can finally become
immortal.
The two archetypes here are both quite fantastical.
The first is the School of Kinesis, a wizard archetype
that focuses on the manipulation of objects,
specifically, the relocation of them. Their mage hand
is massively changed, allowing it to use tools and
wield weapons, and their ability to move creatures
and objects is second to none. The School of Lichdom
is special; every so often a player will want to become
38
a lich, but it can be difficult to make it feel like a
process for them. The School of Lichdom slowly
transforms the wizard into a lich, albeit a weaker
version of the monster, through the use of rituals and
other requirements. This option allows players to
pursue that goal in a streamlined way if needed.
SCHOOL OF KINESIS
Wizards who spend their time researching the
kinetics of magic are known as members of the School
of Kinesis. These wizards are masters of object
manipulation; they can move objects from afar and lift
great weights with a mere incantation.
Their ability to affect their surroundings, and their
enemies is a result of careful calculation and intricate
movements; their magic is as much mathematics as it
is arcane.
KINETIC ANCHOR
At 2nd level when you choose this school, you learn
the mage hand cantrip, or another cantrip of your
choice if you already know mage hand. Your mage
hand can be used as more than just an extra
limb, becoming an "anchor" for your kinetic
spellcasting.
The hand can become invisible if
you wish and can carry a number of pounds equal to
your Intelligence score multiplied by 5 (minimum of
10). When you manipulate your mage hand using
your action, you can order it to attack a creature
within 5 feet of it. When you do so, you can make a
melee spell attack against the creature.
On a hit, the creature takes 1d6 + your Intelligence
modifier force damage (plus an additional 1d6 at 5th,
11th and 17th level). The hand can also attack using
tools, and when it does so, it is considered both a
melee spell attack, and a melee weapon attack. The
damage you deal is altered by the tool used; a sword
would deal slashing damage, while hot coals may deal
fire damage. When the tool is a weapon, you can only
add your Intelligence modifier to the damage dealt if
you are proficient with the weapon type.
If the tool would deal more damage than the hand
itself (like in the case of a longsword), use the tool's
damage dice instead of the hand’s, still adding your
Intelligence modifier as a bonus to the damage you
deal. The additional damage dealt by the hand when
you reach higher levels is added to the damage you
deal with the tool. For example, if you are 5th-level
and make an attack with a longsword, it deals 1d8 +
Intelligence slashing damage, plus 1d6 force damage.
Alternatively, you can attempt to grapple a medium or
smaller target using the hand, forgoing the attack roll
and instead making a spellcasting ability check
against their Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check. You can use your bonus action to
move the mage hand, but you can't perform any other
action when you do so, and the mage hand is unable
to rise upward unless the creature it has grappled is
lighter than its maximum carrying capacity.
SWIFT RELOCATION
At 6th level, you can use the momentum of your own
magic to reposition yourself. Whenever you force
another creature or object to move using a spell of
1st-level or higher, you can use your reaction to push
yourself a number of feet equal to 10ft for each spell
slot level of the spell.
FOCUSED TELEKINESIS
At 10th level, you add the telekinesis spell to
your spell book if it isn't there already. While
maintaining concentration on the telekinesis spell, you
can also maintain concentration on another spell of
3rd level or lower, but if you fail concentration on a
check or lose concentration some other way, you lose
concentration on both spells. Whenever you lose
concentration in this way, you become unable to
act until the end of your next turn.
INCOMPARABLE FORCE
At 14th level, you learn of a magical technique to
allow you to channel far more force into your kinetic
spellcasting. Whenever a creature has to make a
saving throw against one of your spells to avoid being
moved, they have disadvantage on the saving throw.
Additionally, if a spell notes that it can only force a
creature or object of a certain size to move, it can now
move a creature or object of one size class larger, and
whenever a spell notes it has a limit on how much
weight it can handle, it can now handle three-times as
much weight.
SCHOOL OF LICHDOM
The school of lichdom is the ultimate in evil; pursuing
immortality through the desecrated rituals of undeath
is horribly immoral, and often the end that most
wizards come to. Lichdom wizards are able to harden
their skin to mirror their abjuration magic, gain
resistance to a range of damage types due to their
39
almost-undead form, and drain the souls of their
enemies to regain vitality.
DESCENT TO UNDEATH
At 2nd level when you choose this school, you begin
your descent into the darkness that is undeath. By
some development, you’ve discovered the secrets
behind lichdom. You imbibe your skin
with embalming fluid and complete an unholy ritual,
setting you on the path to immortality.
You have resistance to necrotic damage, and
whenever you cast mage armour, you can sacrifice up
to your wizard level + your Intelligence modifier hit
points (minimum of 5) to enhance the spell, causing
the spell to increase your base AC to 13 + an
additional 1 AC for every 5 hit points you sacrifice.
LIFE DRAIN
At 6th level, you complete the second unholy ritual,
which transforms the nature of your soul into that of a
parasite. You can use your action on your turn to
siphon the lifeforce from nearby creatures.
Up to 3 creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you
must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed
save, they take 3d6 necrotic damage, and on a
successful save, they take half as much damage. You
regain hit points equal to the total damage dealt. You
can use this ability once, and then must finish a short
rest or cast a spell of 3rd-level or higher use it again.
The damage dealt by this ability increases to 6d6 once
you reach 14th level.
UNDEATHLY CONSTITUTION
Once you reach 10th level, the effects of the first and
second rites have allowed you to gain resistance to
attacks. As a bonus action, you can expend a spell slot
of 1st level or higher to gain resistance to either
bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage or fire,
cold and lightning damage until the start of your next
turn.
THE LICHES' PHYLACTERY
At 14th level, you can conduct the final ritual, which
begins your slow ascension into lichdom. You must
find a fit receptacle to place your soul into. This can be
a vial, a chest, a book, or any other vessel. The only
restriction is that the item must be worth at least
1000 gold pieces. You must also prepare a selection of
reagents including embalming fluid, unguent, and
incense that is worth at least another 1000 gold
pieces.
You then must take the item to a
desecrated place or desecrate a place yourself
wherein you can perform the ritual. You spend 1 week
channelling your soul into the receptacle, creating
your phylactery. Once the ritual is complete, your
normal form crumbles to dust, and over the next
week, you slowly reform in your lich form.
You change in the following ways when you ascend
to lichdom:
 You gain immunity to poison damage and the
poisoned condition.
 You are classed as undead, instead of humanoid.
This means you can no longer be healed by most
healing spells.
 You have advantage on saves against Turn
Undead and other similar abilities.
 You gain proficiency in Constitution saving
throws.
 You no longer need to sleep.
 You have advantage on saving throws against
spells that threaten to Charm, Frighten, or
Paralyze you.
 If you die, you reform after 1d10 days, provided
your phylactery is still intact. You regain all your
hit points and become active again. Your new
body reforms next to your phylactery. If your
phylactery is destroyed, you fail to reform, and die
forever. You cannot be resurrected by any sort
of magic and die eternally.
