Introduction to the class
T
his class is based on Brandon Sanderson's
Stormlight Archive, a book series with 3 tomes
released. If you plan on reading the series, this
section, and most of the document, may
contain spoilers. Read carefully.
Surgebinding
Surgebinding is a magic system which involves ten different
types of power sources or surges, which represent the
fundamental forces of nature. Some creatures can use
Stormlight to bind surges. Those creatures are called
Surgebinders. Stormlight is normally drawn from infused
gemstones, but can be absorbed from any source that has
Stormlight.
By the final days of the Era of Solitude, after the las
Desolation, knowledge of Surgebinding is all but totally lost.
Its effects haven't been seen for millennia and histories from
times of the Heraldic Epochs, when Surgebinders fought
during the Desolations and formed the orders of the Knights
Radiant, are all but nonexistent. Most who are aware of it
know it mainly from inaccurate legends.
There are 10 different Knights Radiant Orders. In order for
a creature to turn into a Surgebinder and join a Radiant
Order, they must bond a spren. It's important to note that it is
the spren who chooses the Surgebinder and not the other
way around. One may not be aware that a spren is analysing
them or trying to bond them until they breath Stormlight for
the first time. The spren type determines the Radiant Order,
each having their own spren.
Spren
Spren are creatures of nature. They have a common
presence all over the world and tend to be ignored, or remain
unseen. Spren are not fully understood. They take different
shapes and forms, appearing around certain events, ideas, or
abnormalities. Some types of spren have taken on cognitive
ideals or concepts which have taken on literal personification
over time. Spren live in Shadesmar, the Cognitive Realm. A
plane of existence in which the spren adopt their true form
and live in societies.

Stormlight is a radiant energy given off by highstorms (a
storm of huge dimensions and power) that can be stored in
gemstones and then later used by Surgebinders. It is a source
of light and power and is used to power technology.
Gemstones are much better at holding Stormlight than other
objects because the light can remain within them for weeks.
Usually, those gemstones kept in spheres, can be infused
with Stormlight by leaving them outside during a highstorm.
Infused spheres can also be obtained from money
exchangers. Stormlight leaks quickly when held by a
Surgebinder or infused into an object other than a gemstone,
though persons can slow the leakage by holding their breath
(which they can do for an extended time while holding the
light).

Design Notes
Full vs Half Caster
None! As stated in the 1.X version, I thought a half caster
would fit the class better, but I was wrong. I liked the model,
but I think it had a clear flaw: it's early game was boring.
Following the paladin path, the archetypes weren't getting
defining traits until level 6, and that made the class lackluster.
For this version, I based it in a mix between pact magic and
the UA Mystic. I gave it more magic power while reducing its
martial side. Trust me, it can still defend itself in a weapon
fight, but now depends more of its magic to be threatening.
Knights Radiant were fighters, but they had an incredible
magic power too!
Surges adaptation
For this version, as I said before, I'm gonna be using the
mystic system. Each archetype gets its surges, which function
in a similar way as psionic disciplines. Additionally, to bring
the class closer to D&D, some of the effects of the surges are
emulations or castings of D&D 5E spells. That's also because
some of the effects can be comparable to them.
On the DM's side
Health: even if a Surgebinder is powerful and can
mantain themselves alive a long time by healing, they can
be handled easily. If you feel your Surgebinder is
highlighting over the rest of the party, maybe you need to
throw hordes (Surgebinders usually are mediocre at
handling groups of enemies) and healing-reducing effects.
Spren: you will need to adapt to every spren's personality.
I included a little description of the sprens per Order in
every Radiant Order. The spren are always analyzing their
bonded Surgebinder and examine their acts closely. If you
see that your Surgebinder strays far from their Ideals, the
spren can choose to break the bond. If the spren doesn't
break the link, they may end up dying because of the
actions of their Surgebinder. Keep than in mind! A
Surgebinder that loses their spren is condemned. They
lose their powers and no spren will want to bond them
again.

On the player's side

Resources: keep track of your resources. Early in the
game, you need to be careful since you have tons of
options and few Stormlight points, but your mid-late game
is really powerful. Remember all the time what features
you can use and keep track of your spells. Remember that
this class is very powerful with a well-handled Action
Economy.
Spren: remember that you have your spren with you all
the time and that no one can see it (excepting true vision
things). Your spren is a very powerful RP tool and you can
use it creatively to do almost anything.
Stealth: your shardblade is shiny, your shardplate is shiny,
you are shiny! Stealth, if you are not a Dex build or an
Edgedancer, is very complicated. Most of the times, even
being an Edgedancer is not enough.

3 /u/xMartu's Surgebinder
Surgebinder
An alethi boy rides the winds of a Highstorm surrounded by
windspren. He's looking for possible threats in the area while
his friends are training.
Stopped in the middle of a battlefield, the young herdazian
observes nervously how his battalion is fading. Suddenly, he
spots an enemy running towards the defendless ardent.
Without thinking, he blocks the attack, blue eyes glowing, a
bright yellow radiance coming out of his body.
Hidden in the town sewers, the azish girl focuses on the
voices of her persecutors. When she knows they are close
enough, she smiles with malice and summones her blade. A
white light dances around the edge of her weapon as the
group aproaches her, not knowing the mistake they made.
Their eye color doesn't matter, nor does their origin or their
culture and religion. Surgebinders are the first-line defense of
humanity and they always act in unity. Always paired with
their spren, they have an almost unlimited source of power.
Quick Build
You can make a surgebinder quickly by following these
suggestions. First, Dexterity or Strength, followed by
Charisma, should be your highest ability score if you plan on
being a Windrunner, Wisdom if you plan on being a
Skybreaker or Edgedancer. If you plan on beign a
Lightweaver, Truthwatcher or Elsecaller, your Charisma
(Lightweaver) or Intelligence should be your highest ability
score, followed by Constitution or Strength or Dexterity if you
plan on being an Elsecaller. Second, you have freedom
choosing your background as every Order is way different
from the others.

Class Features
As a surgebinder, you gain the following class features.
Hit Points
Hit Dice: 1d8 per surgebinder level
Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier.

Proficiencies
Armor: Light armor, medium armor, shields.
Weapons: Simple weapons, short swords and long swords.
Tools: None.
Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution.

Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the
equipment granted by your background:
(a) a spear, (b) a warhammer (if proficient) or (c) a simple
melee weapon.
(a) a martial weapon (if proficient) or (b) a shield.
(a) leather armor, (b) scalemail or (c) chain mail (if

(a) an explorer's pack or (b) a dungeoneer's pack.
If you forgo this starting equipment, as well as the items
offered by your background, you start with 4d4 x 10 gp to buy
your equipment.
Spren
A spren has formed a bond with you and accompanies you to
wherever you go. The spren cannot be touched and can only
be seen by you unless you order it to show itself to other
beigns. It has no Hit Points, cannot do any actions in combat
but talking and it has a flying speed equal to your current
movement. The spren type depends on your Radiant Order.
You can ask your spren to do any ability check that uses the
Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma ability scores. The spren
uses your ability scores and proficiencies when it is asked to
do an ability check.
The spren can move freely and with no distance limit and
will always follow you unless you say the opposite. If you are
within 120 feet of the spren, you can absorb Stormlight. If
you are under the effects of Stormlight and the spren moves
more than 120 feet away from you or viceversa, you
automatically expel all the Stormlight you had in your body.
Stormlight
You have the capacity to absorb Stormlight. If you can breath,
you can use your free object interaction on your turn to fill
yourself with Stormlight.
As long as you are under the effects of Stormlight, you gain
the following benefits:
You emit bright white light in a 10 feet radius and dim
light in another 10 feet.
You ignore the effects of any exhaustion level. Every
exhaustion level you have is lost while you are under the
effects of Stormlight. Every exhaustion level you had
before absorbing Stormlight or while you are under the
effects of Stormlight returns when your body doesn't have
any Stormlight left.

 Shardblade
When you reach 3rd level, you are able to summon your own
shardblade. As a bonus action, your spren transforms into a
weapon you are proficient in of your choice as long as you
have a free hand. The shardblade then only disappears if you
choose so (doesn't require an action), if you are incapacitated
or if you die. The shardblade has the following
characteristics:
It deals the same damage as the weapon it copies, but it is
radiant type.
It can only be summoned if your spren is within 30 feet of
you.
The shardblade emits bright light in a 5 feet radius and
dim light in another 5 feet. The color of this light depends on
your Radiant Order. Additionally, it doesn't leave any injuries
in the creatures you hit with it, nor does ever get dirty. When
you kill a living beign with it, its eyes burn into black smoke.
When you are using your shardblade, you can communicate
with your spren telepathically.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 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.
Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this
feature to take a feat of your choice instead.
Swift Shardblade
When you reach 5th level, you can choose one of the
following options:
Extra attack. You can attack twice with your shardblade,
instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your
turn.
Rythm of War. When you cast a spell, spend 1 Stormlight
point and roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one roll of the
spell equal to the number rolled. That roll must restore hit
points or be a damage roll.
Powerful Shardblade
At 7th level, your shardblade gains a +1 bonus to attack and
damage rolls done with it.
This bonus increases to a +2 at 11th level and to a +3 at
17th level.
Shardplate
Starting at 10th level, your oaths and bond are strong enough.
You can summon a shardplate to your body using a bonus
action as long as you are using no armor or light armor. You
can also summon you shardblade in the same bonus action if
you hadn't summoned it earlier. The shardplate is a piece of
heavy armor you are proficient with and it has the following
characteristics:
The shardplate grants you temporary hit points equal to
twice your surgebinder level + your Order modifier.
It has an AC of 12 + half your proficiency bonus (rounded
down) + your Order modifier.
7 /u/xMartu's Surgebinder
This armor increases your walking speed by 10 feet and
doubles your high and long jump distances if it has at least
1 hit point.
If you have at least 1 temporary hit point granted by the
armor, you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) and
Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks.
The shardplate's temporary hit points regenerate after a
long rest. You can also spend Stormlight points as an
action while it's summoned to cause the shardplate regain
temporary hit points equal to your Order modifier
(minimum of 1) for every Stormlight point consumed.
The shardplate emits bright light in a 10 feet radius and
dim light in another 10 feet. The color of this light depends
on your Radiant Order. The shardplate disappears if you
choose so (doesnn't require any action), if you fall
unconscious or if you die.
Improved Shards
When you reach 15th level, your shardplate grants you
advantage on any saving throw against spells and magical
effects as long as it has at least 1 hit point.
Also, when you use your action to cast a spell, you can
make one weapon attack with your shardblade as a bonus
action.
Knight Radiant
When you reach 20th level you are considered a true
defensor of humanity. The bonus to attack and damage rolls
of your shardblade also applies to your surgebinder spell
attack rolls and spell save DC.
Additionally, if you have your shardplate equiped and it has
at least 1 hit point, whenever you receive damage from a non-
magical weapon, you reduce that damage by your Order
modifier.
Radiant Order
Being a Surgebinder implies swearing a series of Ideals
which bond your soul to a spren. The first Ideal is common
between the Orders, but every Order differs from the others
in their second, third, forth and fifth Ideals. Surgebinders act
in unison and collaborate in their assignment of protecting
humanity from darkness.
Order of the Windrunners
Being part of the Order of the Windrunners means protecting
everyone in needs. Founded by the Herald Jezrien, the
Windrunners were one of the Radiant Orders with more
members. That, mixed with their capacity of flying, made
them the symbol of the Knights Radiant. They always act
grouped and organize in a specific hierarchy.
The Windrunners tend to attract “big sibling” types, who
seek to protect the defenseless, but also enjoy action and
fighting for what they believe in. They’re primarily scouts,
though they often work as special forces groups, able to
deliver teams of Radiants behind enemy lines for secret
missions.

Characteristics
Ideals. I will protect. Windrunner oaths are themed toward
protection, particularly defending innocents or those who are
unable to protect themselves.
Gem and color. Sapphire, blue color.
Order modifier. Charisma is your surgebinding and features'
ability.
Spren
Your spren type is the Honorspren. Honorspren are blue and
with a humanoid form. They can choose which person can
see them and they are very similar to humans in their
customes and manners. Usually they are born with names.
Surges
You know the Adhesion and Gravitation surges. At 11th level,
you learn the Windrunner surge.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join this Radiant Order, you gain proficiency with
heavy armor and martial weapons.
Wind's Grace
You are ready for battle anytime. You can give yourself a
bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Order modifier.
I'll Protect Those Who Can't Protect
Themselves
Beginning at 6th level, you can adopt a defensive stand to
protect your allies from ranged attacks. When an ally that is
within 15 feet of you is attacked by a ranged attack that
requires an attack roll, you can use your reaction to spray
your body with Stormlight. Until the beginning of your next
turn, you gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Order
modifier against ranged attacks and every ranged attack that
targets a creature within 15 feet of you targets you instead of
its original objective.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when
you finish a long rest.
Protection Bulwark
At 14th level, while under the effects of Stormlight, you gain a
flying speed equal to your walking speed.
Moreover, when you have your shardplate summoned, you
can cause it to protect others from harm. When a creature
you can see within 60 feet of you is hit by an attack, you can
use your reaction to cause your shardplate to protect them.
Until the beginning of your next turn, the target creature
gains the benefit of your shardplate as it they were their
bearer. During this time, you cannot benefit from your
shardplate's features. When this effect ends, you regain your
shardplate again without the need to summon it.
Wind Fighter
When you fight, wind currents surround you, enhancing your
abilities. When you reach 18th level, your flying speed
increases to 60 feet or your walking speed, whichever is
higher, and wind effects don't count as dificult terrain for you
when you are under the effects of Stormlight.
Additionally, when you inhale Stormlight, wind gales
surround you. Once per turn when you are under the effects
of Stormlight, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon
attack, you may throw a strong burst of wind. The creature
you hit and every creature in a 15 feet cone in front of you
must succeed a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Order of the Skybreakers
Law is their life and justice their only objective. Created by
the Herald Nale, The Judge, the Skybreakers swear to make
justice and follow the law. The Order focuses on obeying the
law, regardless of wether it is just or fair. A Skybreaker might
have their goals, but they will always obey the laws of a land
regardless of whether it aligns with their specific thinking.
The Skybreakers were the enforcers of the Knights
Radiant, often tasked with keeping the peace, policing the
other Orders, and making certain that dangerous or dark
forces in the world were contained. This sometimes gave
them a bad reputation among the more free-thinking Orders
of Knights, but the Skybreakers (at their best) were not
merciless. They were the ones who believed that nobody, not
even a Radiant, should be above being questioned. They were
the ones that did the sometimes tough job of making certain
that the Orders didn’t abuse their power to become tyrants,
as the Skybreakers saw that those with powers could easily
oppress those who had none.
/u/xMartu's Surgebinder 8
 Characteristics
Ideals. I will seek justice. Skybreaker oaths are themed
toward justice, fighting for causes, and enforcing social rules.
They generally reinforce the importance of moral codes, legal
structures, and similar boundaries that protect civilization.
Gem and color. Smokestone, grey color.
Order modifier. Wisdom is your surgebinding and features'
ability.
Spren
Your spren type is the Highspren. Highspren espouse the
following the letter of law and other legal codes, rather than
doing what one feels is right. Highspren are described as
looking like black slits in reality, with white glowing stars
shining through.
Surges
You know the Gravitation and Division surges. At 11th level,
you learn the Skybreaker surge.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join this Radiant Order, you gain proficiency in the
Insight skill and with martial weapons.
Payment
Additionally, when a creature hits you with a melee attack,
you can make a melee weapon attack against that creature as
a reaction if it is in range.
Insightful Judge
At 6th level, your proficiency bonus is doubled for your
Insight skill. Additionally, after a successful Wisdom (Insight)
check against a creature, you have advantage on your next
attack against it for 1 minute or until you're successful on a
Wisdom (Insight) check against a creature.
High resilience
Starting at l4th level, you have advantage on checks and
saving throws against being charmed and frightened and gain
a flying speed equal to your walking speed when you are
under the effects of Stormlight.
Justice Resonance
You are the law and you impart justice. When you reach 18th
level, your flying speed increases to 60 feet or your walking
speed, whichever is higher. Additionally, once on each of your
turns, if you are under the effects of Stormlight and hit with a
melee weapon attack, you may deal 1d10 + your Order
modifier radiant damage to every other creature within the
weapon's reach as your weapon leaves a light trace where it
passes.
Order of the Dustbringers
Often called Releasers because of the closeness of their
name to Voidbringers, the Dustbringers are one of, if not the
most, powerful Radiant Orders. Themed towards
responsibility, their oaths are led to understand that the
powers they used needed to be properly channeled, much as
their own desires and wills needed proper form and shape.

9 /u/xMartu's Surgebinder
 The Dustbringers believe that great power requires a
strong will to control it, and their oaths are designed to teach
them to control their destructive power. While their powers
can be used to destroy large swaths of land, acting like
artillery, they prefer to work in a more controlled and
nuanced manner. They attract anyone who likes to take
things apart, who likes to know how things work. They also
attract those who are a little foolhardy at times, brave
soldiers who see themselves as containing and controlling
terrible destruction so it won’t get out of hand and hurt
innocents.
Characteristics
Ideals. I will seek self-mastery. Dustbringer oaths are themed
towards self-control and responsibility. Each oath leads to a
greater understanding of power, the nature of holding it, and
the associated responsibility.
Gem and color. Ruby, red color.
Order modifier. Wisdom is your surgebinding and features'
ability.
Spren
Your spren type is the Ashspren. Ashspren like to break
things around them to see what's inside and they appear to
burn through the inside of objects in treelike patterns.
Surges
You know the Division and Abrasion surges. At 11th level, you
learn the Dustbringer surge.
Bonus proficiencies
When you join this Radiant Order, you gain proficiency with
martial weapons.
Create Heat
You are able to increase abrasion on a creature to make it
weaker against hotness. When you cast a spell that deals fire
damage, you can choose one of the targets of the spell. That
creature must make a Constituion saving throw against your
spell save DC, having vulnerability against fire damage until
the beginning of their next turn on a failure, and being
unaffected on a success.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when
you finish a long rest.
Brave Destruction
Beginning at 6th level, you have learnt that your powers exist
to protect innocents from harm. While you are under the
effects of Stormlight, when a creature you can see within 15
feet of you is hit by a melee attack, you can move up to half
your movement towards the attacker. You can then make one
melee weapon attack against the attacker with your
shardblade if it is in range. If that attack hits, it deals an extra
1d10 fire damage. This extra damage increases to 2d10 at
11th level and 3d10 at 17th level.
Vaporization
When you reach 14th level, when you cast a spell that deals
fire damage and has a range other than self, you can create a
20-foot sphere of smoke that disturbs creatures inside it on a
point within the spells range. The targets of your spell inside
the smoke sphere make their next saving throw with
disadvantage. Once the spell is casted, the smoke sphere
vanishes.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when
you finish a long rest.
Mastery Resonance
At 18th level, your control over your surges is unmatched.
When you are under the effect of Stormlight, you can use
your Create Heat feature without expending a use of it.

Order of the Edgedancers When you reach 14th level, you have advantage on Strength
They may not be the biggest or most important Order, but the and Dexterity saving throws when you are under the effects
Edgedancers are powerful and polyvalent fighters. Founded of Stormlight and you cannot be grappled or restrained and
by the Herald Vedel, the Edgedancers are known to be one of cannot be unwillingly moved.
the most refined and elegant Orders, always ignoring things
of great import in favor of smaller things, as some would see
it.
The Edgedancers are known as being caring and graceful.
Among the Knights Radiant, they see it as their duty to care
for the people and are often less interested in war than they
are about trying to improve the daily lives of the common
folk. During wartime, they often act as the mobile medics,
eschewing actual combat to heal or pull out the wounded or
those trapped in terrible situations. However, there are some
renowned for their graceful and skilled prowess in combat,
occasionally used as scouts or special forces troops in
conjunction with a team of Windrunners or Skybreakers.
Characteristics
Ideals. I will remember. Edgedancer oaths are themed
around remembering the ordinary people of the world—
those who aren’t powerful generals or Radiants. Too often,
the actions of the powerful have terrible effects on the people
with no voice, and the Edgedancers consider it their solemn
duty to remember that the people are the ones they truly
serve.
Gem and color. Diamond, white color.
Order modifier. Wisdom is your surgebinding and features'
ability.
Spren
Your spren type is the Cultivationspren. They are the spren of
nature and they take the form of a vine that grows rapidly.
They can form the appearance of a face by curling vines
around one another. After a time, the vine trail they leave
behind solidifies, becoming like crystal before crumbling into
dust.
Surges
You know the Abrasion and Progression surges. At 11th level,
you learn the Edgedancer surge.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join this Radiant Order, you gain proficiency in the
Acrobatics and Stealth skills.
Gift of Nature
A flow of revitalizing energy runs through your body. You are
inmune to poison and disease.
Additionally, when you attack a creature that has yet to take
a turn, you do so with advantage.
Natural Growth
At 6th level, opportunity attacks against you are made with
disadvantage.
Moreover, when you are under the effects of Stormlight,
you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks to shove a
creature and, if you take the Attack action on your turn, you
can use a bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet
of you.

Nature Resonance
At 18th level, your powers strengthen yourself. You don't need
to expend Stormlight Points when you use your Stormligh
Healing feature.
Additionally, when you use your Stormlight Healing feaure,
you can heal any creature of your choice in a 30-foot radius.
You must expend 3 Stormlight points per creature when
doing so.
Order of the Truthwatchers
The Truthwatchers are the most esoteric Radiant Order.
Silent and secretive most of the time, they preferred to stay
appart from the other Knights Radiant. Founded by the
Herald Paliah, they are the most mysterious Order.
The Truthwatchers are seen as quiet, largely known as the
most scholarly Order of Knights Radiant. They tend to attract
scientists primarily, but also scholars or thinkers of all types.
This extends to some who might not normally be known as
scholarly but instead as someone often consumed by their
own thoughts. In general, they tend to be reserved,
particularly in person, though a small minority of
Truthwatchers are greatly concerned with the actions of the
powerful and might be likened to investigative reporters.
Characteristics
Ideals. I will seek truth. Truthwatcher oaths are themed
around seeking to find ultimate truth and sharing it. They are
very concerned with knowledge and the proper exploitation
of it.
Gem and color. Emerald, green color.
Order modifier. Intellience is your surgebinding and
features' ability.
Spren
Your spren type is the Mistspren. They are closer to
Cultivation than to Honor, and are said to resemble the
shimmer light makes on a surface when it is reflected
through a crystal.
Surges
You know the Progression and Illumination surges. At 11th
level, you learn the Truthwatcher surge.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join this Radiant Order, you gain proficiency in the
Investigation skill.
Reality
You have advantage on any check to discern illusions from
reality.
Lecture
At 6th level, your bond with your spren allows you to predict
your enemies' intents. As a reaction when you or a creature
within 30 feet of you make an attack or a saving throw you
can expend 2 Stormlight points and force the attacker to
reroll the attack or the saving throw with advantage or
disadvantage, your choice.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when
you finish a long rest.
Visions
When you reach 14th level, you can pull visions from the near
future. Choose a creature or object with which you've spent at
least 1 minute and consume 6 Stormlight points.
As you do so, visions from the creature's or object's near
future invade you. The visions appear in a 30 foot cube
around you and you see one possible outcome of what the
next 24 hours of the target's time might be. The DM chooses
how accurate these visions are, but they must have at least
some little truth or clues of what is really gonna happen.
Once you've used this feature, you can't do so again until
you finish a long rest.
/u/xMartu's Surgebinder 12
 Divination Resonance
Your vision and capacity to read everything around you has
no rival. At 18th level, you gain a 60 feet True Sight when you
are under the effects of Stormlight.
Order of the Lightweavers
Enigmatic, the Lightweavers were formed in their majority by
people gifted with the best artistic skills. These illusionists
are capable of molding Stormlight into visual and sound
effects. Founded by the Herald Salash, they are sincere
people who base their Ideals on truth.
Lightweavers are the Radiants most interested in the arts,
including all kinds of visual arts and theater. They range
widely in personality from the quiet and introspective painter
to the outgoing and gregarious stage performer, with
everything in between. What unites them tends to be a love of
art, though there are some few who are more interested in
intrigue, secrets, and espionage. They are the spies of the
Knights Radiant and are often untrusted by others for their
love of subterfuge.
Characteristics
Ideals. I will speak my truth. Lightweaver oaths are an oddity,
perhaps because their spren tend to be the oddest among all
Radiant spren. Instead of speaking specific words, or even
words along a certain theme, Lightweavers speak truths
about themselves. Gem and color. Garnet, garnet color.
Order modifier. Charisma is your surgebinding and features'
ability.
Spren
Your spren type is the Cryptic. They are the spren of lies.
Cryptics manifest in the Physical Realm as a complex
geometric pattern that is constantly shifting, slightly raised
off a surface or object. On occasion they can also manifest as
a floating three-dimensional mass of twisting lines. They
cannot make themselves invisible to others, but can
camouflage with ease and mimic voices and sounds.
Surges
You know the Illumination and Transformation surges. At
11th level, you learn the Lightweaver surge.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join this Radiant Order, you gain proficiency in one
type of artisan's tools of your choice, the disguise kit and in
the Deception and Performance skills.
Malleable Illusions
Starting at 6th level, when you cast a surge that creates an
illuson and has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can use
your action to change the nature of that illusion (using the
surge’s normal parameters for the illusion), provided that you
can see the illusion.
Illusory Reality
By 14th level, you have learned the secret of weaving shadow
magic into your illusions to give them a semi-reality. When
you cast a surge that creates an illusion, you can choose one
inanimate, nonmagical object that is part of the illusion and
make that object real. You can do this on your turn as a bonus
action while the surge is ongoing. The object remains real for
1 minute. For example, you can create an illusion of a bridge
over a chasm and then make it real long enough for your
allies to cross.
The object can't deal damage or otherwise directly harm
anyone.

Gem and color. Zircon, grey blue color.
Order modifier. Intelligence is your surgebinding and

Spren
Your spre type is the Inkspren. Inkspren appear as human-
shaped figures dressed all in black. They have been described
as being coated in what seems to be oil, and as having a
mother-of-pearl or prismatic quality to their look. Unlike
certain other bond spren, they cannot make themselves
invisible to humans. They can, however, change their size
drastically, allowing them to shrink to the point where they
cannot be seen. They tend to be attracted to people who are
logical and willing to think through their decisions as
opposed to acting on instinct.
Surges
You know the Transformation and Transportation surges. At
11th level, you learn the Elsecaller surge.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join this Radiant Order, you gain proficiency in the
Arcana and History skills. Additionally, you gain proficiency
with martial weapons.
Planar Movement
When you move, you instead travel through other planes.
Once on each of your turns, while you are under the effects of
Stormlight, you can forfeit up to half of your movement to
teleport the distance you forfeited. You must teleport to an
unoccupied space you can see.

/u/xMartu's Surgebinder 14
 Travel Resonance
By 18th level, your powers are unparalleled. When you are
under the effects of Stormlight you are always under the
effects of the freedom of movement spell.
Breaking the Ideals
The Knights Radiant are broken people that have sworn a
number of oaths that not only strengthen their bond with their
spren, but grant them power. This drains a lot of energy,
physical and mental, and most of the times a Knight Radiant
will encounter obstacles in their journey in the form of fear,
hesitation and weakness.
If a Knight Radiant breaks its oaths, their spren dies,
depriving them of the capacity of absorbing Stormlight and
summon their shards. This also means that they have lost the
creature that accompanies them in their journeys, most of the
times their best friend. For a Knight Radiant, losing their spren
can mean a really hard breakdown.
A Surgebinder that breaks its Ideals loses all its Surgebinder
levels and cannot access forever. No spren is gonna ever trust
them, because they will never know if the Surgebinder is
gonna betray its Ideals one more time.

Multiclassing
Prerequisites. The ability score of the Order
modifier of the one you want to multiclass into 13.
Proficiencies. When you multiclass into the
Surgebinder class you gain the following
proficiencies: light armor, medium armor and
simple weapons.
Note. A Surgebinder never chooses to be a
surgebinder, but its spren chooses to bond them.
When trying to multiclass into the Surgebinder
class, talk to your DM to set-up the encounter
between the spren that's trying to bond you and
yourself. Also, keep in mind the ideals and
personality of your character when selecting an
Order. A character that ignores law and doesn't
care about rules cannot be a Skybreaker.

Surgebinding

S
urbebinding is the form of magic in the world of
Roshar. By altering the most basic essences of
the world, a surgebinder can produce powerful
effects.
Surgebinding is divided in 10 surges, each
affecting one essence. Every surgebinder can
utilize 2 surges, determined by its Radiant Order,
later adding a third into their lists.

reality. Every surge contains a spell list and additional details.
The following sections go into more detail on using surges.

There are two types of surges.
Basic surges. Basic surges are the 10 surges that affect
the 10 essences of the world. These are gained at 1st level in

Advanced surges. Advanced surges are especific to each
Radiant Order of surgebinders. A surgebinder gains its
advanced surge at 11th level. They don't have a bond and they
only have a spell list

If a crature that fails the saving throw is reduced to 0 hit
points by this spells' damage, it is crushed by the pulling force

is destroyed. The creature can be restored to life only by

saving throw, being pushed 30 feet in a direction of your
choice on a failure, or being unaffected on a success.
If an affected target impacts with an object larger than 5
feet, they take 2d6 bludgeoning damage for every 5 feet
travelled and it falls prone if it was a creature. If it hits a
creature, this must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or
receive the same amount of bludgeoning damage and fall
prone.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell

21 /u/xMartu's Surgebinder
 Magic Items
T
he Surgebinder class introduces some new
mechanics that could be perfectly used by
other classes. Those features are the
shardblade and shardplate, which can be
easily transformed into magic items for other
classes to use.
Shardblade
Weapon (any type of sword), rare (+1), very rare (+2), or
legendary (+3) (requires attunement by a non-surgebinder)
The shardblades are mythical weapons capable of severing
souls. Having a ruby on their pommel, they bind their bearer's
soul. They are limited, exiting few of them, and they are found
only as swords. Having a shardblade makes the user an
aristocrat titled a shardbearer. Every shardblade is different
from the others and has unique traits.
The shardblade appears to be made of crystal and is
usually white. It doesn't leave any injuries in the creatures it
hits, nor does ever get dirty. When a creature is killed by a
shardblade, its eyes burn into black smoke.
Soulbind. Once attuned to the shardblade, you must
expend 7 days of constant physical contact with the blade.
Once that period has passed, you can summon the
shardblade coordinating your heartbeat with the summoning
process and making the blade appear on a free hand once 10
heartbeats have passed. Summoning the shardblade takes an
action. The shardblade disappears if you choose so (doesn't
require an action) or if you are incapacitated. If you die, it
appears next to you, its bond broken.
23 /u/xMartu's Surgebinder
Sever souls. The shardblade deals the same damage as
the sword it imitates, but it is radiant type.
Additional traits. The shardblade can have the following
traits:
Magic weapon. The shardblade is a +1, +2 or +3 weapon.
This is up to the DM when creating it.
Nimble. If you use your action to cast a spell, you can
make one weapon attack with the shardblade as a bonus
action.
A shardblade can combine those 2 traits in any form,
having the Magic Weapon one or the two at the same time.
Its variety increases depending on the amount of traits it has
and its raw power. For example, a shardblade could be a +2
weapon, making it a very rare weapon.
Shardplate
Armor, legendary (requires attunement by a non-surgebinder)
The shardplates are powerful armors. Shardplates are
forged from an unknown metal, and are composed of
interlocking plates covering the wearer's entire body. A
shardplate user is a nearly invincible warrior that excels in
combat. There are fewer shardplates than shardblades, and
having a shardplate also makes the user an aristocrat.
The shardplates are grey, but most people like to paint
them in beatuful colours to highlight their beauty.
Extra resistance. A shardplate has between 20 and 45 hit
points. The amount of hit points is up to the DM when they
create the armor. Whenever you take damage, the shardplate
takes the damage instead. If the damage reduces the
shardplate to 0 hit points, you take any remaining damage.
The shardplate regains all its hit points after you finish a long
rest.
AC. A shardplate has from 15 to 20 AC. It is up to the DM
to choose the AC of a shardplate. The AC can also be
calculated as 14 + 1d6.
Not so heavy. Each part of a shardplate is really heavy. So
much that a shardbearer needs the help of other people to
put it on. Once the armor is being wore, yo don't notice its
weight. A shardplate is a heavy armor, but doesn't require
heavy armor proficiency to use it efficiently.
Extra strenght. If the shardplate has at least 1 hit point,
you have advantage on every Strenght (Athletics) and
Dexterity (Acrobatics).
Extra speed. The shardplate increases your walking speed
by 10 feet and doubles your high and long jump distances.
Additional traits. The shardplate can have the following
traits:
Resilience. The shardplate grants you advantage on any
saving throw against spells as long as it has at least 1 hit
point.
 Reduction. The shardplate reduces damage from non-
magical weapons by 1d4+1 as long as it has at least 1 hit
point. The amount of damage reduction is determined by
the DM when they create the armor. For example, if after
rolling the result is a 3, the shardplate always reduces the
damage by 3 and it cannot be changed.
A shardplate can combine those 2 traits in any form,
having none of them or both at the same time.
Honorblade
Weapon (any type of sword), artifact (requires attunement)
The honorblades were the weapons of the Mighty Heralds,
10 humans that fought for humanity in the Desolations that
threatened Roshar. Each Herald had its honorblade, and each
honorblade is unique, different from their sisters.
As every Herald is the patron of the Radiant Order they
founded, each honorblade represents one Radiant Order.
A honorblade gives the user the powers of Honor, making
them capable of using the surges of the Radiant Order the
honorblade represents. They are even more powerful than
shardblades.
Soulbind. Once attuned to the honorblade, you can
summon the honorblade as a bonus action. The honorblade
disappears if you choose so (doesn't require an action) or if
you are incapacitated. If you die, it appears next to you, its
bond broken.
Sever souls. The honorblade deals the same damage as
the sword it imitates, but it is radiant type.
Magic weapon. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage
rolls made with the honorblade.
Nimble. If you use your action to cast a spell, you can make
one weapon attack with the honorblade as a bonus action.
Herald of the Mighty. If you are not a surgebinder, you
gain the ability to absorb Stormlight. You have an amount of
Stormlight points equal to 4 times your level and a Spell
Level equal to that of your total level represented in the
surgebinder class table. You can absorb Stormlight using
your free object interaction as of the Stormlight section in the
Spren feature of the Surgebinder.
Radiant Order. You learn and are able to use the surges
of the Radiant Order the honorblade represents. To use
the surges you must be under the effects of Stormlight. As
of the current version of this document, an honorblade
can only represent seven of the ten Radiant Orders:
Windrunners, Skybreakers, Dustbringers, Edgedancers,
Truthwatchers, Lightweavers and Elsecallers.
Stormlight Healing. At the start of each of your turns, you
may consume one Stormlight Point to regain hit points
equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1) if you
have no more than half of your hit points left. You don’t
gain this benefit if you have 0 hit points. You don't gain
this feature if you are a surgebinder.
Shards of Honor
The Surgebinder is a tricky class. They have their own
weapon and armor, which makes it difficult for both the
player and the DM to choose which magic items can go along
with the class. The Shards of Honor are magic items that can
be awarded to the surgebinder or a player with a shardblade
or shardplate to improve them further and bring them on pair
with other magic weapons or armors.
It is up to the DM how to award the Shards of Honor. They
can be found as loot in the adventure, as rewards for
completing difficult dungeons or as the result of a
surgebinder's train.
The Shards of Honor bind the soul of the user, making
them able to summon or dismiss them as a bonus action. The
Shards of Honor appear floating next to the target and can be
touched or carried.
If the Shards of Honor are awarded as the result of
constant training, they have no appearance. If the Shards of
Honor are awarded as loot or treasure, they have the
appearance of pieces of crystal which shine powerfully,
emiting bright light in a 10 feet radius and dim light in
another 10 feet. This can be ignore and adapted as the DM
chooses.
Shard of Inmunity
Wondorous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a
surgebinder or someone attuned to a shardplate)
You need to have a shardplate in order to make this
wondorous item work. The shardplate can be one given by
the Shardplate feature of a surgebinder or a magic item to
which a non-surgebinder is attuned.
As long as your shardplate has at least 1 hit point you are
immune to critical hits.
Shard of Life
Wondorous item, very rare (requires attunement by a
surgebinder or someone attuned to a shardplate)
You need to have a shardplate in order to make this
wondorous item work. The shardplate can be one given by
the Shardplate feature of a surgebinder or a magic item to
which a non-surgebinder is attuned.
The shardplate's hit point maximum increases by 1 per
level. This applies retroactively, as well as to every level you
take hereafter.
Shard of Penetration
Wondorous item, very rare (requires attunement by a
surgebinder or someone attuned to a shardblade)
You need to have a shardblade in order to make this
wondorous item work. The shardblade can be one given by
the Shardblade feature of a surgebinder or a magic item to
which a non-surgebinder is attuned.
Attacks made with the shardblade ignore resistance to
radiant or necrotic damage.
Shard of Perseverance
Wondorous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a
surgebinder or someone attuned to a shardplate)
You need to have a shardplate in order to make this
wondorous item work. The shardplate can be one given by
the Shardplate feature of a surgebinder or a magic item to
which a non-surgebinder is attuned.
/u/xMartu's Surgebinder 24
 As long as your shardplate has at least 1 hit point you are
immune to effects that would remove parts of your body, such
as those of a sword of sharpness or vorpal sword.
Shard of Protection
Wondorous item, rare (requires attunement by a surgebinder)
When you summon a shield using your Shardblade feature
and you have the Powerful Shardblade feature, the bonus to
attack and damage rolls of your shardblade also apply to your
AC while wielding it.
Shard of Siege
Wondorous item, rare (requires attunement by a surgebinder
or someone attuned to a shardblade)
You need to have a shardblade in order to make this
wondorous item work. The shardblade can be one given by
the Shardblade feature of a surgebinder or a magic item to
which a non-surgebinder is attuned.
Attacks made with the shardblade against objects and
structures have advantage and deal double damage.
Shard of Reduction
Wondorous item, very rare (requires attunement by a
surgebinder or someone attuned to a shardplate)
You need to have a shardplate in order to make this
wondorous item work. The shardplate can be one given by
the Shardplate feature of a surgebinder or a magic item to
which a non-surgebinder is attuned.
If the shardplate can reduce damage from non-magical
weapons, by the means of a surgebinder's Radiant
Shardplate feature or the additional trait Reduction of the
magic item, the shardplate reduces also damage from
magical weapons.
Shard of Resistance
Wondorous item, rare (requires attunement by a surgebinder
or someone attuned to a shardplate)
You need to have a shardplate in order to make this
wondorous item work. The shardplate can be one given by
the Shardplate feature of a surgebinder or a magic item to
which a non-surgebinder is attuned.

damage while wearing your shardplate.
Shard of Soul Killing

surgebinder or someone attuned to a shardblade)
You need to have a shardblade in order to make this
wondorous item work. The shardblade can be one given by
the Shardblade feature of a surgebinder or a magic item to
which a non-surgebinder is attuned.

shardblade against a creature, the creature's hit point
maximum are reduced by an amount equal to the attack's
damage. The creature's hit point maximum returns to normal
when it completes a long rest or by means of a wish spell.
25 /u/xMartu's Surgebinder
Shard of Void

damage.
