Disciple

A
n elven woman strides calmly through
a forest glade, smirking as she subtly
grips her sheathed blade. She closes
her eyes as brigands leap from the
surrounding brush. Before they can
even shout their demands, the woman's
blade makes a wide arc at the group. Each
brigand manages to barely dodge her preemptive strike,
but their movements suddenly stop as they start to draw
their blades. A large wound appears across each of their
torsos where her blade had grazed them, and then they
slump to the ground.
Atop a grassy plateau, a lone human figure stands in total
focus amidst a swarm of hovering spectral blades. Like a
masterful conductor, the figure directs the blades to fluidly
strike the targets painted on the stones around. With a quiet
whisper of pride, the figure recalls the blades before willing
them to fall to dust and blow away with the wind.
A battle rages upon a blood-soaked field overlooked by a
regal keep. In its center, stands a lone battle-worn tiefling
fighting for his life. A pair of hulking spectral arms sprout
from his back, allowing the tiefling to wield four axes at once.
He charges into a group of soldiers, wreathing himself in
flames as the lone figure carves into the enemy line. Each
step taken could be his last, yet the tiefling fights with the
widest of grins.
Although these warriors fight using a diverse range of
extraordinary methods, they are all disciples. Disciples are
defined by their mystical fighting styles and the
introspective focus that gives purpose to their training. For a
disciple, combat is a conduit of self-improvement, and
battlefields exist to test the strength of ideals.

Masters of Tempo
The key to a disciple's magic prowess is awareness and focus.
Every movement a creature makes causes a small, nearly
imperceptible ripple across elements of the weave of magic.
Using their ideals as an anchor for their focus, disciples
enter a state of utter clarity where they can perceive and
read these ripples, ultimately utilizing the power within
these ripples—called tempo—to fuel their mystical
techniques. As a disciple grows and solidifies their grasp on
their ideals, their ability to maintain this focus increases
drastically, improving their martial abilities.

Forged Ideals
A disciple's ideals are represented in their fighting style by
the sublime disciplines they follow. While some disciples
discover these paths themselves, others learn them from
masters of the art. Each sublime discipline holds one ideal
above all others, and it serves as the anchor for the tempo
techniques of that discipline. As a result, combat using these
disciplines is a form of self expression and an opportunity to
refine one's philosophy. The danger and rigor of the
battlefield provides the perfect situation to test the disciple's
focus, their understanding of themselves, and their values.

. Born Wanderers
Because of this predisposition towards experience and
conflict, it is rare you'll find a disciple that stays in one place
for too long, or subsisting under the yoke of military
regulation. They are natural wanderers, and tend to flock
towards interesting people that may lead them to greater
challenges and adventures. Such people often prove to be
worthy rivals and life-long friends for the wandering
disciple: the perfect sparks to ignite the flames of inspiration.

Eternal Students
To a disciple, survival is often secondary to growth. To that
end, you may yet find disciples working as sellswords or
mercenaries in an attempt to find new conflicts to test
themselves. Each and every fight is an opportunity to push
past one's limits, and test not only ability, but also their
willpower and determination. The path of the disciple is one
filled with decision. Each must decide which disciplines to
pursue and which to discard, as the path to perfection is
littered with broken philosophies and weak hearts.

Creating a Disciple
When you are creating your disciple, the most important
thing to consider is why they fight. For a disciple, fighting is
a means of self-discovery and affirmation. What kind of
lessons have their fights taught them up until this point?
What kind of person or warrior do they strive to be, and how
close to that idealized version of themselves are they? Do
they have a specific person or creature they are trying to
defeat? Or perhaps they are seeking out a new mentor to fill
a gap they feel in their skill or personhood? Consider how
your character would feel when faced with what looks to be
an insurmountable threat, and how they would feel after
losing or defeating it.
Equally important is when your character first began to
notice the flow of tempo around them. Was it something they
always saw, but never realized its significance? Maybe it was
inherited? Or maybe the power was unlocked in a dire
moment of emotional or physical danger? Or did you
eventually come to see the tendrils of tempo through
deliberate training, either alone or under a master or school?
Which discipline did you manifest first, and why? Lastly,
how does your character feel about their power now? How
your character first came upon this magic should influence
how they feel about both it and themselves in relation to it.

Quick Build
You can make a disciple quickly by following these
suggestions. First, make Strength or Dexterity your highest
ability score, depending on whether you want to focus on
weapons that use strength or finesse weapons. Your next-
highest ability score should be Wisdom and then you make
Constitution your third-highest score. Second, choose the
folk hero background.

Awakening
Tempo is a transient energy, and it takes a very keen sense to
be able to tap into it. However, how one learns to tap into
this energy can vary greatly, and the manner in which you
unlock your power should reflect how you think about your
abilities and their purpose.

Unforgettable Sight
Disciples are natural wanderers, always in search of a new

Sublime Discipline Tempo Techniques

A disicple's path begins with learning sublime disciplines. A
sublime discipline is a kind of mystical martial art. Each
discipline is centered on an ideal for the disciple to
understand and internalize.
At 1st level, choose one sublime discipline, detailed at the
end of the class description. When you gain certain disciple
levels, you gain knowledge of new disciplines, as shown on
the Disciplines Known column of the Disciple table.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the disciplines you know and replace it with
another discipline.
Signature Art
Each sublime discipline has an associated Signature Art, the
foundational ability of the discipline. You can use this feature
to invoke the effects of the Signature Art of a discipline you
know. If you use a Signature Art that has a duration while
already under the effects of a Signature Art, the first
Signature Art immediatley ends.
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.
Each discipline has a list of techniques─its discipline
techniques─that you gain at the disciple levels noted in the
discipline's description. These techniques require you to
spend tempo points to use which you gain at 2nd level.
Some techniques modify a specific attack. You can only use
one such technique per attack.
Tempo Ability
Your ability to utilize tempo is tied your intuition and ability
to perceive the ripples of magic around you; as such, Wisdom
is the key ability for disciples. Some of your discipline
features require for your target to make a saving throw to
resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated
as follows:
Tempo save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifer = your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier

https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LJQqmmqoYxbIWEkrumn 4/15 4
 6/9/2019
Martial Intuition
Your opponents' blows radiate a certain rhythm that your
body has learned to read. If a creature attacks you or forces
you to make a saving throw, your DM tells you one one of the
following things about its capabilities (your choice):
If one of its ability scores of your choice is higher than,
lower than, or equal to your same ability score.
If any of its speeds is higher than, lower than, or equal to
a single speed of yours (your choice).
If their statistics are being altered by a spell or magical
effect.
If they are proficient in at least one martial weapon.
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.
Tempo
Starting at 2nd level, you gain the ability to perceive and
utilize the power in ambient ripples of magic, called tempo.
Your access to this mystical energy is represented by a
number of tempo points. Your disciple level determines the
number of points you have, as shown in the Tempo Points
column of the Disciple table.
You can spend these points to fuel various tempo
techniques granted by your disciplines. When you spend a
tempo point, it becomes unavailable. When you take the
Dodge action, you can use your bonus action to focus and
regain any expended tempo points.
Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your
specialty. Choose a fighting style from the list of optional
features. You can't take the same Fighting Style option more
than once, even if you get to choose again.
Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no
other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that
weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you
make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two
hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even
if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-
handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your
ability modifier to the damage of the second Attack.

Disciple v2.0 | GM Binder
Sublime Journey
At 3rd level, you have embarked on a personal journey that
shapes your skills and draws you towards certain innate
magical talents. Choose to follow the Journey of the Blade
Dancer, the Journey of the Conjurer, or the Journey of the
War God. Your choice of Sublime Journey grants you features
at 3rd level, and again at 7th, 11th, 14th, and 18th levels.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 12th, 16th,
and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your
choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your
choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score
above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Alacrity
Also at 5th level, your speed increases by 10 feet.
Preternatural Awareness
At 6th level, your body's familiarity with tempo allows it to
react to conflict even when your mind lags behind. you can
add your Wisdom modifier to initiative rolls and you can't be
surprised while you are conscious.
Blind Sense
At 9th level, you are able to detect the thin ripples of magic
caused by the subtle movements of hidden creatures. You are
aware of the location of any hidden or invisible creature
within 10 feet of you.
Imprinted Growth
Starting at 13th level, you gain proficiency in either Dexterity
or Constitution saving throws (your choice).
Timeless Body
At 15th level, your body has become emboldened against the
effects of age. You suffer none of the frailty of old age, and
you can't be aged magically. You can still die of old age,
however. In addition, you no longer need food or water.
Tempo Mastery
At 17th level, you regain all expended uses of your Signature
Arts when you finish a short or long rest.
Great Master
At 20th level, your growth culminates with you becoming the
master of a discipline. Choose any one discipline you follow.
Whenever you use a tempo technique from that discipline,
you spend 1 less tempo point than you otherwise would
(minimum of 1).
5/15
6/9/2019
Sublime Journey
Those who continually practice the use of tempo inevitably
find a force pulling on the core of their being. As one uses
the transient power of tempo, it gradually changes the
wielder's mind, body, and soul, eventually culminating in the
emergence of a mystical ability that defines their journey as
a disciple.
As each disciple's path differs, the time which this force
manifests varies greatly from disciple to disciple. Some train
under masters in an attempt to bring out this ability earlier,
whereas for others, their ability only emerges when they are
faced with truly insurmountable odds.
Whether you choose your sublime journey, or it chooses
you, perfecting all it entails will be one of your greatest
challenges as a disciple.
Journey of the Blade Dancer
A single swing of the blade is oft more than it appears, and
this is especially true for a disciple that follows the Journey
of the Blade Dancer. Blade Dancers are disciples whose
bodies have all but merged with the ripples around them.
Their newfound magical senses drive them to seek out
flexibility in the execution of their steps and techniques.
Their precise, sweeping motions cut into the fabric of magic
itself, infusing them with supernatural acrobatic ability and
elegance in battle.
Blade Dance
When you choose this journey at 3rd level, your strikes are
followed by magical ripples that echo your intent. Whenever
you make a melee weapon attack against a creature and miss,
you can cause the creature to take force damage equal to
your Wisdom modifier.
Additionally, during your turn, if you make a melee attack
against a creature, that creature can't make opportunity
attacks against you for the rest of your turn.
Elegance
Also at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Performance
skill if you don't already have it, and can add your Wisdom
modifier to ability checks that use that proficiency.

Disciple v2.0 | GM Binder
Evasion
At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the
way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon's lightning
breath or a fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect
that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only
half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on
the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Accelerando
At 11th level, you add your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1)
to the damage of your melee weapon attacks. Additionally,
you can take the Dash action as a bonus action.
Rushing Agility
At 14th level, your mastery of the weight of your body allows
you to defy natural limitation. You can use your remaining
movement to determine the maximum distance you can jump
(long or high), instead of the normal calculation. You can
jump your full distance with or without a running start.
Additionally, you can move along vertical surfaces and
across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.
Free Stride
At 18th level, your movements become impossible to stop.
Your movement is unaffected by difficult terrain, and spells
and magical effects can't reduce your speed or cause you to
be paralyzed or restrained. You can spend 5 feet of
movement to automatically escape from nonmagical
restraints. Additionally, being underwater imposes no
penalties on your movement or attacks.

Journey of the Collector
Most often the Journey of the Conjurer begins with a
recurrent dream of an infinite field littered with weaponry
from across the ages. Within this space you are free to use
and manipulate, form and reform the weaponry and
landscape as you see fit, perpetually in pursuit of the perfect
arsenal. This dream repeats, becoming more and more lucid
until you awaken amidst a cloud of flying armaments that
flow along to your whims, and from that day each weapon
you touch, and each alteration you make in your dreams, will
reflect in your control over your magical arsenal.
Bound Arsenal
Starting when you choose this journey at 3rd level, you learn
to call upon an arsenal of weapons you store within your
mind. You must bind weapons to yourself in order to call
upon them. If you hold a weapon and meditate for 1 hour
over the course of a short or long rest, you can bind the
weapon to your arsenal, causing it to disappear. When you
summon your arsenal, this weapon is summoned within it
while it is bound.
You can have a number of weapons bound this way equal
to your Wisdom modifier plus your disciple level. A weapon
becomes unbound 24 hours after you die or unbind it with an
action, causing it to appear within 5 feet of you. Sentient
weapons must agree to be bound, and can choose to unbind
themselves at any point.
Conjure Weapons
Starting at 3rd level, you can conjure or dismiss your arsenal
of bound weapons, which hover in your space, as a bonus
action. The weapons that are part of this arsenal deal force
damage instead of their normal damage type, and gain the
thrown property range (20/60). Any thrown arsenal weapon
immediately returns to your space after the attack.
Whenever you can make a weapon attack and are not
wielding any weapons or shields, you can instead mentally
direct any single weapon in this arsenal to attack as if you
are wielding it (as if using your choice of one or two hands).
You can engage in two-weapon fighting using the arsenal,
provided the weapons you use meet its conditions.
Additionally, when you conjure these weapons, and as a
bonus action on subsequent turns, you can put the weapons
in one of the following formations:
Assault. Your arsenal poises to attack. Ranged attacks
made with your arsenal do not suffer disadvantage due to
attacking at long range or being within 5 feet of a hostile
creature and ignore half cover and three-quarters cover.
7 https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LJQqmmqoYxbIWEkrumn
Disciple v2.0 | GM Binder
Storm. Your arsenal enters a frenzy. The area within 5 feet of
you is difficult terrain for creatures of your choice.
Ward. Your weapons form a protective barrier. The first
time you take damage after the start of each of your turns, it
is reduced by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier
(minimum of 1).
Blade Affinity
At 7th level, you can read into a weapon's history through
mere touch. Over the course of 1 minute, you can analyze a
weapon you are touching. At the end of the minute, you glean
one of the following things (DM's choice):
A clear picture of the weapon's last wielder as it drew the
weapon for combat.
A glimpse of a magical ability the last wielder used while
wielding the weapon.
Whether the last wielder used the weapon with malicious,
honorable, protective, or some other form of intent.
A glimpse of the last creature felled by this weapon.
Once you have used this feature, you can't do so again until
you finish a short rest or long rest. This process drains the
magical imprint left on the weapon, so once you have used
this feature on a given weapon, you can't use it on that
weapon again until it has seen use in combat.
Ultimate Arsenal
At 11th level, both your control and the quality of your
arsenal have heightened, causing your formations to
improve:
Assault. Any attack made with weapons from your arsenal
deal an additional 1d8 damage.
Storm. The weapons expand into the area within 15 feet of
you instead of 5 feet.
Ward. The damage is reduced by twice your Wisdom
modifier instead (minimum of 2).
Conjured Body
At 14th level, you have learned how to merge your body with
your armory, embedding within you its fluid movement.
While you have your arsenal conjured, you gain a flying
speed equal to your walking speed, which manifests visually
as wing-like blades, riding a flying sword, or a similar effect.
7/15
6/9/2019
Dream Gate
At 18th level, you can bring out the full force of your arsenal
in an instant. As an action, you create a visage of your field
behind you and conjure 100 weapons all around you. Choose
any number of creatures within 120 feet of you, and divide
100 projectiles among them (a creature can be targeted by up
to 10 projectiles). Each creature must make a Dexterity
saving throw, taking 1d8 force damage for each projectile
launched at it, or half as much on a successful save. These
weapons disappear at the end of your turn.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Journey of the War God
A disciple who follows the Journey of the War God is
unmistakable on the battlefield by the manifestation of their
soul fighting alongside them, often taking the form of
spectral arms or a looming figure at their back.
The influence of tempo can reach further than most would
think; after all everything moves, even your own spirit.
Disciples that define themselves by intense emotions, or a
need to prove their own self worth, can develop a sensitivity
to the movements of their soul. After enough time, the
disciple gains the ability to summon and wield this element
of their soul in combat. Legends speak of disciples that attain
definite control, and ultimately learn harness the divine
spark that resides within them.
https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LJQqmmqoYxbIWEkrumn
Disciple v2.0 | GM Binder
Spirit of the War God
When you choose this journey at 3rd level, your passion can
call forth the part of your soul that revels in the glory of
battle. As a bonus action or when you roll initiative, you can
manifest or dismiss two spectral arms that are connected to
your upper body. When summoned, and on each of your
turns thereafter, each arm can perform an object interaction,
such as drawing a weapon. You can control these arms easily,
and they act just like your other arms.
As an action, you can make a single attack with each melee
weapon you and your spectral arms are wielding (up to 4
attacks). You don't add your ability modifier to the damage of
these rolls, unless that modifier is negative. When wielding a
two-handed weapon, your spirit arms must hold the weapon
with both hands at all times.
At 5th level, you add your ability modifier to the damage
rolls of weapons you are wielding with your hands (up to 2
attacks). At 11th level, you also add your ability modifier to
the damage rolls of weapons your spirit arms are wielding.
Cosmic Presence
At 7th level, your connection to your inner self has granted
you greater presence. When you make an Intimidation or
Persuasion check, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the
roll instead of your Charisma modifier.
Additionally, as an action, you can amplify your presence a
hundred fold. Creatures of your choice within 60 feet of you
must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your
tempo save DC or become aware of your presence. For the
next 10 minutes, you have advantage on all Wisdom and
Charisma checks made against those creatures.
Once you use this action, you must finish a short or long
rest before you can use it again.
Encroaching Omniscience
At 11th level, your soul becomes your vigil, as the shapes of
faces can be traced around your head. Whenever you make
an attack as a part of a reaction, you can make an additional
attack with one of your spectral arms.
Additionally, once on each of your turns when you miss
with a weapon attack, you can make an additional weapon
attack with a weapon being wielded by your spectral arms as
part of the same action.
Lens of Truth
At 14th level, your sight ascend towards the sight of gods.
You can see clearly in normal and magical darkness out to
120 feet, as well as into the Ethereal Plane. You can see the
true form of any shapechanger or creature concealed by
illusion or transmutation magic while the creature is within
this range and within line of sight.
Shard of Divinity
At 18th level, you have fully reconnected with your soul,
unlocking the divine power within it. You have resistance to
damage from weapon attacks, and any damage you deal with
a weapon attack or tempo technique ignores resistance and
bypasses immunities.
You can no longer die from old age, and your soul cannot
be stolen, trapped or destroyed, nor can you be unwillingly
raised as an undead, except by divine intervention.

Sublime Disciplines
Ardent Lion
No true warrior fights in isolation; their friends, family, and
all their allies follow them into every fight. Ardent Lion
disciples fight using rallying cries and by utilizing the
strength of their bonds to perform superhuman feats in
combat.
Ideal: Camaraderie. Your allies are your family, and those
bonds are more precious than anything the world can
muster. Cherish them and look out for them, for they will
make you your best self.
Signature Art: Rally. As an action, you let out a riveting
war cry that sends jolts through the bodies of your allies.
Any allied creature within 30 feet can use their reaction to
move up to their speed without provoking opportunity
attacks.
This ability's range increases by 30 feet when you reach
5th level (60 feet), 11th level (90 feet), at 17th level (120 feet).
Techniques
Warding Strike (2nd Level). When you hit a creature with a
melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus action and
spend 1 tempo point to instill hesitation within them. The
next attack it makes before the start of your next turn has
disadvantage if it is against someone other than you.
Bolstering Bond (5th Level). As an action, you can spend up
to 5 tempo points to bolster yourself and an ally. You and an
ally of your choice within 30 feet of you gain 1d8 temporary
hit points for each tempo point you spent. These temporary
hit points last 1 minute, until you use this technique again, or
until you focus to regain your tempo.
Unified Assault (11th Level). Whenever you hit a creature
with a melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus action
and spend 3 tempo points to call in an assault. A single allied
creature of your choice within 30 feet of you can use their
reaction to make a weapon attack against that same creature.

Disciple v2.0 | GM Binder
Fury of the Fallen (17th Level). Whenever you see a
creature reduce an allied creature to 0 hit points, you can use
your reaction and spend 4 tempo points to move up to your
speed and make an attack against the attacking creature. On
a hit, the attack deals damage as normal and the allied
creature regains hit points equal to your level.
Coursing Ember
To live life on the sidelines, bored and discontent, is to not
really live life at all. Disciples of the Coursing Ember
discipline are fiery individuals who follow their whims and
passions to the ends of the earth. Coursing Ember techniques
involve spreading radiant flames and gliding through the
battlefield.
Ideal: Passion. Your heart must burn like the desert sun.
Do not live idly and let opportunities pass you by. Be
invested in every action you choose to take, and use the fire
in your eyes to guide you into the future.
Signature Art: Salamander Charge. As an action, you
move up to your speed without provoking opportunity
attacks, leaving behind a wall of fire that is 10 feet high and 1
foot thick along your path, lasting for 1 minute or until you
lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a
spell). You can move through creature's spaces for this
movement, but you can't end your turn there. The wall lightly
obscures vision. Any creature in the wall when it first
appears, and whenever a creature enters the wall for the first
time on a turn or ends its turn there, it must succeed on a
Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 fire damage.
This damage increases to by 1d8 at 5th level (2d8), and
again at 11th, (3d8) and 17th levels (4d8).
Techniques
Searing Lashes (2nd Level). You coat your weapons in
searing flames. When you take the Attack action, you can
spend 1 tempo to increase your reach by 10 feet until the end
of your turn. Your attacks deal fire damage instead of their
normal damage type for the duration, and deal an additional
1d4 damage.
Leaping Flame (5th Level). Whenever you are damaged by a
hostile creature within 60 feet of you that you can see, you
can use your reaction and spend 2 tempo to briefly turn into
a wisp of flame and fly to an unoccupied space within 5 feet
of them without provoking opportunity attacks.
Flame's Blessing Stance (11th Level). At the start of your
turn, you can spend 2 tempo points to engulf yourself in
beautiful flames. Until the start of your next turn, you are
immune to fire damage, and creatures take 1d8 fire damage
any time they make a melee attack against you.
Bursting Sunspot (17th Level). When you hit a creature
with a melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus action
and spend 3 to 5 tempo points to cause the target of your
attack to explode in a blaze of glory. Every creature in a 10-
foot radius, increased by 10 feet for every tempo point spent
above 3, must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take
6d6 fire damage. You are immune to this damage.

Howling Gale
It is too often that people chain themselves to the earth and
become prisoners of a life they never really enjoyed.
Disciples of the Howling Gale put above all else the ability to
decide for themselves their next path. Techniques of this
discipline focus on being hard to reach and pushing back
oppressive advances.
Ideal: Freedom. Life is but a small breeze, fleeting upon
the chaotic winds of the universe. Do not waste it carrying
undue burdens that leave you crushed. Lift these burdens
from yourself and those around you, and reflect on how
much more joyous it is to live free.
Signature Art: Gale Surge. As a bonus action, you whip a
wild gust around your body and briefly become as the wind.
This effect lasts 1 minute, or until you lose concentration (as
if concentrating on a spell). For the duration, you have
advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and whenever a
creature misses you with an attack, you can move 5 feet
without provoking opportunity attacks.
Techniques
Driving Wind (2nd Level). You can use your action and
spend up to 5 tempo points to unleash a cone of rushing air
from your weapon. The size of the cone is an amount of feet
equal to 10 times the amount of tempo points you spent.
Creatures of your choice in the cone must make a Strength
saving throw or be pushed backwards until they reach an
unoccupied space at the end of the cone. A creature can
choose to fail this saving throw.
Wind Scar (5th Level). You can use your action and spend
any amount of tempo points to swing your weapon and
unleash a blade of air forward. Pick up to 3 creatures you can
see within 60 feet of you. If you target more than one
creature, each target must be within 5 feet of at least one
other target, and none of them can have cover from you.
Each of these targets must succeed on a Dexterity saving
throw. On a failure, a creature takes 1d8 magical slashing
damage for each point of tempo you spend, or half as much
on a success.
The Wind That Walks (11th Level). As a bonus action, you
can spend 3 tempo points to become invisible and able to
move through the space of any creature, as well as through
spaces as small as 1 inch gaps without expending additional
movement until the start of your next turn, or until you
attack a creature or force it to make a saving throw.
Tranquil Windstorm (17th Level). As a bonus action, you
can spend 3 tempo points to create a 10 foot radius sphere of
whirling air that follows you, which lasts until the end of
your next turn. While within the sphere, creatures of your
choice can ignore difficult terrain, and you can impose
disadvantage on any ranged attack that targets a creature
inside of the sphere. Additionally, if a creature starts its turn
inside the sphere, you can increase its speed by 10 feet until
the end of its turn.

Mercurial Wolf
How can one truly claim to be living when they adhere to the
constraining lines of conventional thought? Disciples of the
Mercurial Wolf discipline value spontaneity and change, and
as such their techniques involve creating complicated and
chaotic situations on the battlefield through illusions and
trickery.
Ideal: Chaos. Stagnation is the enemy of growth, so it is up
to you to make sure that the world is constantly changing.
Adapt to the situations you bring about, and through that act
you will find completeness.
Signature Art: Quicksilver Pack. As an action, you create
an illusory duplicate of yourself. This effect lasts 1 minute
and requires you maintain concentration as if concentrating
on a spell. The illusion appears in an unoccupied space
within 10 feet of you that you can see. A duplicate has the
same AC as you and disappears whenever it takes any
damage from an attack, spell or magical effect. As a bonus
action on your turn, you can move any one duplicate created
by this art up to 30 feet to a space you can see. A duplicate
can only fly this way if you also have a fly speed.
Alternatively, you can use your bonus action to destroy a
duplicate and teleport to its space, provided you can see the
duplicate.
The amount of duplicates you can make with this ability
increases to 2 at 5th level, 3 at 11th level, and 4 at 17th level.
Technique
Mirror Step (2nd Level). You twirl the world about a
creature, disorienting its perception of your position. When a
creature moves within 5 feet of you, you can use your
reaction and spend 1 tempo point to force that creature to
make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, you can
teleport to any space within 5 feet of the creature, and the
next attack it makes against you before the end of the turn is
made at disadvantage.
Inversion (5th Level). As an action, you can spend 3 tempo
points to force a creature you can see within 30 feet of you to
make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, you teleport into
a space that creature occupies and cause that creature to
teleport into your space. If there is no room for the you or
the creature where the other stands, this technique fails.
Altered Perspective (11th Level). When a hostile creature
misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction
and spend 3 tempo points to force that creature to repeat the
same attack against a creature of your choice within range of
the attack (other than itself).
Shifting Sides (17th level). As a bonus action, you can spend
4 tempo points and attempt to alter a creature's perception of
the battlefield. A creature of your choice within 30 feet of
your must make an Intelligence saving throw to see through
the illusion you foist on it. On a failed saving throw, the
creature can't make reactions until the start of its next turn,
and immediately makes a melee weapon attack against a
creature of your choice within its reach.

Raven's Gaze
An eye for an eye leaves the world blind, but no wrong ever
truly escapes the raven's gaze. Disciples of the Raven's Gaze
discipline allow no slight against them or their compatriots
to go unpunished. Techniques of the Raven's Gaze revolve
around instilling fear in your assailants before bringing
them down.
Ideal: Revenge. You have been wronged. If you haven't
been, you will be. It is your charge to turn your ire upon
those who sought to bring you down, and take from them
that which you are owed. They tried to bring you to your
knees, but now you are hoisted up by the black wings of
vengeance.
Signature Art: Will of the Conspiracy. As a bonus action,
you can force a creature you can see to make a Wisdom
saving throw. On a failure, the target's vision and hearing is
overtaken by a swarm of ravens. Until the end of your next
turn, it is deafened and perceives the area beyond a 10 foot
radius around it to be magical darkness. If you start your
turn outside of this radius, you can use your bonus action to
teleport into an unoccupied space inside of it. If a target
succeeds on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you
tried to use this art on it.
Techniques
Gaze of the Flock (2nd Level). When a creature you can see
within 30 feet of you damages you or forces you to make a
saving throw, you can use your reaction and spend 2 tempo
points to force it to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a
failure, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
At the end of each of your turns while a creature is
frightened of you in this way, you can spend 1 tempo point to
force the creature to make another Wisdom saving throw. On
a failure, the creature remains frightened of you until the
end of your next turn.
Unkindness In Turn (5th Level). You can spend your bonus
action and 2 tempo points to teleport to a creature within 30
feet of you that is frightened of you. That creature must
make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it becomes
paralyzed with fear until the start of their turn.
Futility (11th Level). Once on each of your turns when you
hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1
tempo point and have it make a Wisdom saving throw. On a
failure, its speed is halved, and it has disadvantage on saves
against becoming frightened until the end of their next turn.
Vengeance of the Swarm (17th Level). A black mist of
ethereal ravens surges from you to enact your revenge.
When a creature damages you, you can use your reaction
and spend 4 tempo points to cause that creature to lose hit
points equal to the amount of damage you took (maximum of
40 damage).
Stone Dragon
Like the plates that shift about the world's surface, you leave
a lasting impact on every person you encounter. Followers of
the Stone Dragon discipline put great thought that each
spoken word and each action belonging to them is not glib.
Techniques of the Stone Dragon disciple focus on using the
earth to keep you centered, and landing decisive blows.
https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LJQqmmqoYxbIWEkrumn
Disciple v2.0 | GM Binder
Ideal: Stoicism. Expression is a powerful thing that is best
not used frivolously. Speak and act when your words and
actions further your path, and make sure each word strikes
with the impact of a falling boulder.
Signature Art: Dragon Sentinel. As a bonus action, you
cause a Medium dragon statue to emerge in an unoccupied
space within 30 feet of you, lasting for 1 minute or until you
lose concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell).
The dragon statue is a magical object that occupies its
space. It has an AC of 13 + your Wisdom modifier, and a
number of hit points equal to twices your disciple level. It is
immune to poison damage, psychic damage, and all
conditions. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving
throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+0). The area within 10
feet of the dragon is considered difficult terrain. As a bonus
action on subsequent turns, you can make the dragon move
up to 15 feet.
If you summon the dragon within 5 feet of a creature, and
as a reaction whenever a creature moves within 5 feet of it,
you can cause the dragon to make a melee spell attack
against that creature. On a hit, it deals an amount magical
piercing damage equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier, and
their speed is halved until the end of the turn.
Techniques
Roots of the Earth (2nd Level). When an effect would
knock you prone or move you against your will, you can
spend 1 tempo point to hook into the earth. Until the end of
your next turn, you can't be be knocked prone or moved
against your will, including against the original effect.
Mountain Hammer (5th Level). When you hit a creature
with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 2 tempo points to
embed it into a fissure below it. The target must make a
Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is knocked
prone. If the target is already prone, it is instead restrained
until the end of its next turn.
Earthbound (11th Level). As an action, you can spend 3
tempo points to petrify yourself until the start of your next
turn. While petrified in this way, any damage you take is
halved, and your form can't be changed.
Additionally, the earth around your feet attempts to encase
those around you. Each creature within 15 feet of you must
make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, that creature is
restrained until the end of your next turn.
Breath of Ages (17th Level). As an action, you can spend 5
tempo points to exhale an eroding mist that originates from
either you or your Dragon Sentinel. All creatures in a 60-foot
cone, which spreads around corners, must make a
Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature's body
becomes heavy and sluggish until the end of your next turn.
For the duration, the creature's speed is halved, and it can't
use reactions. On its turn, it can use either an action or a
bonus action, not both. Regardless of the creature's abilities
or magic items, it can't make more than one melee or ranged
attack during its turn.
Once per turn, when you hit a sluggish creature with a
melee weapon attack, you can force it to make a Constitution
saving throw. On a failure, the target becomes petrified until
the end of your next turn.

Titan Fury
The path of the warrior is full of rivals and obstacles.
Followers of the Titan Fury discipline make it their goal to
shatter the competition and make it clear that their power is
absolute. Techniques of the Titan Fury discipline focus on
demolishing the weak and cowardly and ripping through
attempts at stopping your advance.
Ideal: Power. It is not enough to merely defeat your
enemies; you must overcome them and demonstrate the gap
in your abilities. You must prove to yourself and to the world
that your might is unrivaled.
Signature Art: Blood of the Ancients. As a bonus action,
you can bolster your form. You gain temporary hit points
equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your disciple level,
which last for 1 minute (rounded up, minimum 1).
For as long as you have these temporary hit points,
