Authors’ Notes
Snakes & Saloons was a project started in 2015 that was
probably the result of watching a Clint Eastwood movie and
playing Dungeons & Dragons on the same night. The idea
behind Snakes & Saloons was to create a Western-style RPG
within the rules and assumptions of content created within
5e. In that, Players and Game Masters could branch away
from castles and liches and play a different genre of RPG
without having to start from scratch and learn an entirely
different game system.
I brought this idea to Gimmicks. He offered his help to me
and so I brought him in on this little project. His assistance
quickly transformed into a mutual partnership and before I
knew it he had taken the ball I had tossed to him and ran for
the hills. Without him, this project may not have even made it
to a playable state. Gimmicks is responsible for a majority of
the original content of Snakes & Saloons, though I would like
to think I helped a little. He has a wealth of knowledge and
ideas throughout the process of developing this project and I
would like to take this moment to thank him. Gimmicks,
here’s to you!
Collectively, we declared somewhere in 2016 that Snakes
& Saloons was in an “alpha” state. This seemed appropriate
for two guys who had zero experience in the game design
industry. We took our “alpha build” to our friends and I
started GM-ing the very first game of Snakes & Saloons. We
quickly realized that we would need more than just our home
game and our playtesting in order to receive the feedback
that we needed to make Snakes & Saloons as fine-tuned as
possible. So, together, we decided that we would take these
handfuls of text documents and spreadsheets and turn them
into something that others could also play, enjoy, and provide
feedback on. We are constantly adding and tweaking things
in the module but now we are confident enough to release
some of what we have been working on.
It is important to note that this is not a stand-alone RPG.
This was originally a personal project for our own private use
that became a self-published genre module because we felt it
was worthy of sharing. Snakes & Saloons is ever-evolving. We
are making changes daily, ones that we think are for the
better of the module. And with that, we will be releasing
updates and expansions to Snakes & Saloons when we have
felt like we have made enough changes to warrant the update.

Mechanical Notes
In Snakes & Saloons, we have several new additions to make
the game feel closer to the image of the Western-Fantasy we
had in mind while working on this project.
Mechanics Skill: Technology has advanced significantly in
the settings in which Snakes & Saloons is played compared
to other swords and sorcery settings. Inventions like
firearms, locomotives, and electricity have complicated
everyday life. Because of this, we have introduced a new skill
called “Mechanics” which uses your Intelligence ability score.
“Mechanics” is used for situations that involve the complex
workings of machines and mechanical devices. This could
involve things like assembling, disassembling, repairing, or
determining the nature of mechanical devices.
Firearms Weapon Type: The advancements in harvesting
and processing black powder have given rise to a new breed
of weapon. The “firearms” weapon type is a new form of
ranged weapon that consumes ammunition (referenced as
ammo) specific to the type of firearm. Firearms will state on
the weapons table which type of ammo they consume as well
as how many hands are required to operate the firearm. Two-
handed firearms require two hands to operate. In order to
attack with a two-handed firearm, the user must wield the
weapon with two hands and cannot be wielding any other
weapons or shields. Light firearms only require one hand to
operate. Users of light firearms may engage in two-weapon
fighting or don a shield.
Reloading: Firearms can hold a specified amount of ammo
within the firearms themselves. This can be found under the
weapons table. A firearm user can attack with a firearm a
number of times equal to the “ammo” number listed on the
weapon table before it must be reloaded. To reload a firearm,
a user must do so using an attack (NOT an attack action). For
example, A 5th level Gunslinger has 2 attacks when they use
the Attack action, if the Gunslinger has an unloaded revolver
and the required Pistol ammo, they can take the Attack action
and use one of the attacks to reload the revolver and then use
the other attack to attack with the now-loaded revolver.
Misfiring: When making an attack roll with a firearm,
rolling a 1 causes the firearm to misfire or jam. The misfire
consumes the ammo used for the attack and the ammo
becomes lodged in the firearm. The user must use an attack
to unjam the firearm and reset it to working conditions.
players can choose to take the Hide action in order to gain
Full Cover in places where they would normally have ½ or ¾
cover.

This large and wickedly sharp knife is known Bayonet. The bayonet is a simple concept executed

James Bowie, who would go on to make it famous in the

popularity and is a staple for those traveling through the

A warrior’s relationship with their weapon is often the
determinant of life and death during the heat of combat.
Those who do not know the capabilities of themselves and
their weapons tend to live shorter lives. Brawlers bypass this
relationship entirely, becoming weapons themselves.
Through experience and training, Brawlers fight with the
weapons they were born with, their hands and feet. Those
that do use weapons view them as extensions of themselves,
rather than separate entities. Brawlers are fast on their feet
and often have no problem closing the distance between
themselves and their targets. In worlds where the distance of
combatants is growing, Brawlers thrive in being up-close and
personal. A Brawler’s fighting style falls in one of three
distinct practices: the Monk, the Pugilist, and the Ravager.
The Monk is a trained practitioner of martial arts. They
often have a master from which they learn precise techniques
which allow them to access a well of potential energy within
themselves known as Ki. Monks are also trained to
incorporate traditional weapons of their practice into their
fighting style. Most Monks need to train for years before
being able to find and access their Ki. They use this well of
energy to enhance their agility, reflexes, and destructive
potential.
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
9
The Pugilist shows similarities to the Monk in that they are
trained in their fighting style often by a master (or rather, a
coach). But rather than being trained through discipline and
monotonous practice, Pugilists are trained through
experience. Their coach will often match them with other
Pugilists by which to be beaten, treating the defeat as an
opportunity to improve. They analyze their opponents in
search of weaknesses in their form that they could exploit.
Pugilists choose when and where to strike discriminately in
order to give themselves the competitive advantage.
The Ravager differs greatly from the Monk and the Pugilist
in that in most cases they are entirely untrained and have
merely developed their fighting style through real-world
experience. They have a well of combative Fury which can
stem from a multitude of things like an energized love for
combat or anger management issues. When Ravagers
embrace their Fury, they temporarily enter a trance of
increased strength and ferality. In this trance they are able to
accomplish feats of strength that they would normally be
unable to, but they are also more impulsive and less
conscious of their actions. The Ravager’s practical experience
has also allowed them to improvise and use objects in their
environment as tentative weapons.

Hand to Hand Combat

At 1st level, your practice of melee combat gives you mastery

of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and Brawler

weapons, which are simple melee weapons and greatclubs.

Hand to Hand attacks are unarmed strikes that involve using

parts of your body (such as your hands, elbows, knees, feet,

or head) in order to deal devastating strikes to your

opponents. You gain the following benefits while you are

unarmed or wielding only Brawler weapons and you are not

wearing armor or wielding a shield:

You can roll 1d4 in place of the normal damage of your

unarmed strike or Brawler weapon. This die changes as

you gain Brawler level, as shown in the Hand to Hand

When you use the Attack action for a Hand to Hand attack

or a Brawler weapon attack on your turn you can make

one Hand to Hand attack as a bonus action.

Unarmored Defense Fleet of Foot

At 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding
a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your
Constitution modifier.
Combat Style
Brawlers all have multiple distinct combat styles that have
been passed from teacher to student. Each combat style gives
different advantages when used. The major three styles being
the monastic combat style denoting a monk, the pugilistic
style denoting a pugilist, and the ravager style denoting a
ravager. Each style gives you a feature at 1st, 3rd, 10th, 14th,
and 20th level.
At 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are
not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases
when you reach certain Brawler levels, as shown in the
Brawler table. At 13th level, you gain the ability to expend no
extra movement climbing, swimming, or moving through
rough terrain.
Quick Reflexes
At 3rd level, you have honed your reflexes and gained more
physical agility. You gain proficiency in Dexterity saving
throws.

CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
10
 Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th leveI. 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 ca not increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Extra Attack
At 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever
you take the Attack action on your turn. The number of
attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this
class.
Uncanny Dodge
At 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with
an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's
damage against you.
Burning Blood
At 6th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the
purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-
magical attacks and damage.
Evasion
At 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain
area effects, such as the blast of an explosion or an ice storm
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.
Nerves of Steel
At 9th level, you have mentally trained yourself to be able to
remain cognizant even in situations that normal people
would run away from or run towards without a second
thought. You have advantage on saving throws against being
frightened or charmed. At 17th level, this changes so that you
have immunity to the charmed and frightened conditions.
Unending Endurance
At 15th level, when you are reduced to 0 hit points and are
When a creature makes a ranged
not killed outright, you can choose to drop to 1 hit point
instead. Once you use this ability, you can not use it again
until you finish a long rest.
You also gain some resistance to exhaustion; you now
count as having 1 less level of exhaustion than you would
normally have. For example, if you were to gain one level of
exhaustion you would have zero levels of exhaustion, if you
were to gain two levels of exhaustion you would have one
level of exhaustion.
Battle Senses
Immediately after you take the Attack
At 18th level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things
nearby are not as they should be, giving you an edge when
you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on

as traps and spells and no attack rolls made against you have
advantage. You can not use this feature while you are blinded,
deafened, or incapacitated.
Combat Styles
Brawlers all rely on the same basic principles when
developing their combat skills. Their combat styles are the
thing that sets them apart. The combat styles they choose
reflect the areas they seek to most develop and how they will
choose to combat their enemies.
Monk
Master of the physical self
Monastic Training
At 1st level, you gain quite a few benefits from your monastic
training:
For use of Unarmored Defense; instead of using
Constitution modifier, you use your Wisdom modifier.
For the Hand to Hand feature; you may use your Dexterity
modifier on attack rolls and damage rolls with any Brawler
weapons. You also gain proficiency with shortswords and for
the purposes of Hand to Hand they are now considered
Brawler weapons
Ki
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to use and manipulate the
energy that your body produces to push your body further
than it would normally be able to go. You gain a number of Ki
points equal to your Brawler level and you can spend these
points to fuel various Ki features:
You start knowing four such features: Deflect Missiles,
Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. You
learn more Ki features as you gain levels in this class. When
you spend Ki points, those points are expended until you
finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you recover alI
of your expended Ki points. You must spend at least 30
minutes of the rest meditating to regain your Ki points.
Some of your Ki features require your target to make a
saving throw to resist the features effects: The saving throw

reduce that attack's damage by 1d10 + your Dexterity
modifier + your Brawler level. If you reduce the damage to

unless you use your action to end them. To do so, you and the
target must be on the same plane of existence. When you use
this action, the creature must make a Constitution saving
throw. If it fails it takes 10d10 necrotic damage; on a success

the effect of this feature at a time. You can choose to end the
vibrations harmlessly without using an action.

against other melee combatants. When you make your first
attack on your turn and you do so using a Brawler weapon or
Hand to Hand, you can decide to drop your guard. Doing so
gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using
Brawler weapons or Hand to Hand during this turn, but
melee attack rolls against you have advantage until the start
of your next turn.
At 3rd level, you have learned to seize an opportunity when
range of you misses you with an attack, you may use your
reaction to make a Hand to Hand attack against them.

damage and if a foe has immunity to bludgeoning damage
you can treat that foe as if it instead had resistance to
bludgeoning damage.
Ravager
Unpredictable fighting machine
Improvised Attacker
At 1st level, you have grown accustomed to attacking enemies
with improvised weapons when you battle, to a point where it
has become instinct. You can add your proficiency modifier

Terrifying Strength
At 10th level, you can use your action to frighten someone
with your terrifying strength. When you do so, choose one
creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature
can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving
throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength
modifier) or they become frightened of you until the end of
your next turn. On subsequent turns, you can use your action
to extend the duration of this effect on the frightened
creature.
Iron Grip
At 14th level, you have learned how to tighten your grip to the
point where next to nothing can escape from your grasp.
When a creature attempts to break free from a grapple you
have already established, they must use a Strength (Athletics)
check to do so. You also can not be disarmed from any
weapons or anything you are holding unless you are
incapacitated.
Relentless Fury
At 20th level, you have learned how to extend your Fury
beyond its perceived limits but doing so takes a toll on your
body. When you enter a Fury you may extend it past the 1
minute duration. When you do, you gain a level of Exhaustion
for each minute you stay in Fury beyond the initial minute.
When you take a short rest, you may reduce exhaustion levels
gained by this feature by half those accumulated (minimum
of 1).
Additionally, while in your Fury, if any Strength ability
check is lower than your Strength score, you may use your
Strength score in place of that total.

Since their invention, firearms have been favored by the

common folk over the bow and sword due to their relative

ease of use. For most, firearms have become a tool in the kit

of their everyday lives; though, Gunslingers refine the use of

firearms to a near art form. Gunslingers are at the top of their
class in terms of speed, accuracy, and grit. Through practice
and talent, they can draw, unload, and reload their guns in the
time it would take a normal individual to manage their first
straight shot. Gunslingers are the masters of all types of
firearms, from pistols, rifles, and shotguns, to larger
weaponry like gatling guns. If it slings lead, Gunslingers do it
best. A Gunslinger's style of firearms combat falls into three
categories: the Sharpshooter, the Crackshot, and the Holy
Gunslinger.
The Sharpshooter places all of their bets on accuracy, they
believe that you can not kill what you can not hit.
Sharpshooters put years of practice into getting their lead
down-range and on target. Their focus on accuracy has not
only allowed them to consistently strike their target, but to do
so in such a way that it damages them gravely. The
Sharpshooter’s strenuous practice has also gifted them with
the ability to reload their firearms much faster than other
Gunslingers. A Sharpshooter’s intended target and point of
impact rarely differentiate. The Crackshot is a believer that
gunslinging is more complex than the general population is
led to believe. Where some are satisfied with simply “pointing
and shooting,” Crackshots see potential in their weaponry.
They use their firearms as tools rather than weapons, putting
intent into their shots. Crackshots can use their firearms to
distract, disarm, push, or otherwise impair their targets. They
also wield a combative know-how, which allows them to
manipulate themselves, their allies, and their opponents to
their tactical advantage.
The Holy Gunslinger merges gunslinging with zealotism.
Their devotion to their deity has granted them access to a
range of divine spells in addition to their gunslinging
prowess. The Holy Gunslinger’s faith also grants them the
ability to manipulate their gunslinging to fall further in line

 with their Zealot siblings. They are able to inscribe their
rounds with divine properties and sing holy hymns in order to
channel their deity’s influence on the battlefield.

you take the Attack action on your turn. The number of
attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this
class.
Longshot
At 6th level, you have learned how to make a shot past the
perceived limit of your firearms. At the start of your turn you
can use this feature to effectively double the ranges, both the
normal and the maximum range, of all firearm attacks you
make until the start of your next turn. Once you use this
feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can
use it again. At 14th level, you can use it twice before a rest.
Hit The Floor
At 9th level, when a creature targets you with a ranged
weapon attack, you may use your reaction to fall prone,
imposing disadvantage on ranged attack rolls. At 13th level,
you can stand up from prone using only 5 feet of movement
and when you go prone using this feature you have advantage
against Dexterity saving throws.
Bullseye
At 17th level, when you make a successful weapon attack
with a firearm you can use this feature to make another
attack roll against the target and if you successfully make the
attack roll you can double the damage dice for the attack. If
you use this feature when you score a critical hit the damage
dice are tripled altogether. You can use this feature once per
long rest.
Quickdraw
At 20th level, Gunslingers know how to strike fast and true.
When you roll initiative, you gain a special turn that takes
place before other creatures can act. On this turn, you can
use your action to take the Attack action. If more than one
creature in an encounter has this feature, they all act first in
order of initiative, then the regular initiative order begins. If
you would normally be 'surprised at the start of an encounter,
you are not surprised but you do not gain this extra turn.
Additionally, you can draw and holster your weapons freely
on your turn.
Gunslinger Archetype
While the methodology between the archetypes may seem to
be very different, with many differences in the guns used and
how to use them, all Gunslingers have one thought in mind:
“how do I inflict the most damage I can with the firearms at
my disposal?”.

finish a long rest, that creature’s AC is unaffected by any
armor it is wearing (including natural armor) when
determining if attack rolls you make against it hit. This
feature does not affect the creature adding its Dexterity
modifier to its AC. Once you use this feature you can not use
it again until you finish a long rest.

skills in battle, allowing you to make confusing shots some
would call impossible. When you miss an attack roll, as a

original target or a new target of your choice. The trick die is
expended whether you hit the target with your new attack roll
or not.

The use of magic is a long standing tradition, though now it
has become less common with fewer practitioners than ever.
Along with this, magic that is not derived from divinity is seen
as unholy and an affront to the divine, making many ostracize
Magi and their like. The Magus is one of the distinct arcane
practices to survive through the progression of society. Magi
combine natural talent along with study and a keen mind in
order to perform the arcane arts they have dedicated
themselves to. They commit themselves to a particular style
of casting and elevate spells of that style. Long live the Magi.
Magi scholars fall into four distinct practices denoted by their
title: the Beguiler, the Preserver, the Revoker, and the
Summoner.
The Beguiler’s practice focuses on the Illusion and
Enchantment schools of magic. Beguilers use their magic to
alter the mind and body of their targets. Their Enchantment
magic serves to imbue their targets or give themselves power
over the target. Their Illusion magic serves to alter their
target’s perception and create false imagery to trick their
targets. Skilled Beguilers will have their opponents
questioning reality.
The Preserver’s practice focuses on the Divination and
Abjuration schools of magic. Preservers use their magic to
inform and protect their allies. Their Divination magic serves
to reveal useful information about their targets. Their
Abjuration magic serves to protect from, block harm from, or
otherwise banish the opponents of their allies. A Preserver’s
goal is to support themselves and their allies by any means
possible.
The Revoker’s practice focuses on the Transmutation and
Necromancy schools of magic. Revokers use their magic to
transform and manipulate the living and the unliving. Their
Transmutation magic serves to transform the physical
dimensions of beings. Their Necromancy magic serves to
manipulate the living and the dead and the relationship
between them. Revokers are often the least respected of the
Magi practices as their manipulation of life forces is often
seen as heretical.
The Summoner’s practice focuses on the Conjuration and
Evocation schools of magic. Summoners use their magic to
manipulate energies and create creatures or materials. Their
Conjuration magic serves to summon creatures and lasting

CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES

arcane energy; what is conjured gains benefits based on the

Conjurer’s elemental affinity. Their Evocation magic serves to

briefly create bursts of arcane energy in order to dispatch

foes as needed. Summoners are the most combative of the

Magi schools as they are unabated by the risks of combat and

they possess the types of magic best suited for it.

Hit Points

Hit Dice: 1d6 per Magus level

Hit Points at 1st level: 6 + your Constitution modifier

Hit Points at higher levels: 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution

modifier per Magus level after 1st

Skills: choose two from Arcana, History, Insight,

Investigation, Mechanics, Medicine, and Religion

Equipment:

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the

equipment granted by your background:

a derringer and 20 pistol ammo

a dagger

(a) a component pouch or (b) an arcane focus

(a) a scholar’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack

a spellbook

Spellcasting

As a student of arcane magic, you have started to show your

abilities in using the arcane arts through natural talent and

study and your spellbook containing your spells show the first

glimmerings of your true power. See chapter 10 of the PHB

for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 5 of this

document for the Magus spell list.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the

Magus spell list. You learn additional Magus cantrips of your

choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known
column of the Magus table.
Spellbook
At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing six 1st-level
Magus spells of your choice.
Your Spellbook
The spells that you add to your spellbook as you gain levels
reflect the arcane research you conduct on your own, as well
as intellectual breakthroughs you have had about the nature
of the multiverse. You might find other spells during your
adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on a
scroll in an evil Magus' chest, for example, or in a dusty
tome in an ancient library.
Copying a Spell into the Book. When you find a Magus
spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if
it is of a level for which you have spell slots and if you can
spare the time to decipher and copy it. Copying a spell into
your spellbook involves reproducing the basic form of the
spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by
the Magus who wrote it. You must practice the spell until you
understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe
it into your spellbook using your own notation. For each level
of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50gp. The
cost represents material components you expend as you

CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
20
 experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks
you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and
money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells.
Replacing the Book. You can copy a spell from your own
spellbook into another book—for example, if you want to
make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like
copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier,
since you understand your own notation and already know
how to cast the spell. You need to spend only 1 hour and 10
gp for each level of the copied spell. If you lose your
spellbook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the
spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling
out the remainder of your spellbook requires you to find new
spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many Magi keep
backup spellbooks in a safe place.
The Book’s Appearance. Your spellbook is a unique
compilation of spells, with its own decorative flourishes and
margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume
that you received as a gift from your master, a finely bound
gilt-edged tome you found in an ancient library, or even a
loose collection of notes scrounged-together after you lost
your previous spellbook in a mishap.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Magus table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells,
you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of Magus spells that are available for you
to cast. To do so, choose a number of Magus spells from your
spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Magus
level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for
which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 3rd-level
Magus, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots.
With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can
include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination,
chosen from your spellbook.
If you prepare the 1st-level spell magic missile, you can cast it
using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell does not
remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change
your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest.
Preparing a new list of Magus spells requires time spent
studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantations and
gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute
per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Magus spells,
since you learn your spells through dedicated study and
memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell
refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your
Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a
Magus spell you cast and when making an attack roll with
one.
Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
21
Ritual Casting
You can cast a Magus spell as a ritual if that spell has the
ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don't
need to have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the PHB)
as a spellcasting focus for your Magus spells.
Learning Spells of 1st level and higher
Each time you gain a Magus level, you can add two Magus
spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells
must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on
the Magus table. On your adventures, you might find other
spells that you can add to your spellbook (see the “Your
Spellbook”).
Rigoric
At 1st level, you know Rigoric, the language of Magi that they
use not only to communicate with each other but also helps
them channel arcane energies. Rigoric is largely a runic
language but takes from multiple languages from throughout
history, from those that have gone extinct to those still around
today. Rigoric takes from anything that better helps Magi
channel their magic. Rigoric is a secret language of Magi, but
the basics of it are often known to those who are proficient in
knowledge of Arcana, as the teachers of both practices often
overlap. You and others who know this language
automatically spot hidden messages in Rigoric. Others spot
the message's presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom
(Perception) check but can not decipher it without magical
intervention. You can also attempt to determine the nature or
gist of messages in Rigoric with a successful DC 15
Intelligence (Arcana) check, you may miss out on certain
information in the message or the nuances of the message by
trying to understand the message in this manner.
Arcane Research
At 2nd level, the way that most Magi develop their natural
talent is through research and intense practice that come
through the 4 major houses of magic: The Beguilers, The
Preservers, The Revokers, and the Summoners. All four are
detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice
grants you features when you choose it at 2nd level and again
at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level.
Font of Magic
At 2nd level, you tap into a deep wellspring of magic within
yourself. This wellspring is represented by Magi Points,
which allow you to create a variety of magical effects.
Magi Points
You have 2 Magi Points, and you gain more as you reach
higher levels, as shown in the 'Magi Points' column of the
Magus table. You can never have more Magi Points than
shown on the table for your level. You regain all spent Magi
Points when you finish a long rest.
Flexible Casting
You can use your Magi Points to gain additional spell slots, or
sacrifice spell slots to gain additional Magi Points. You can
learn other ways to utilize your Magi Points as you reach
higher levels.
Creating Spell Slots
You can transform unspent Magi Points into one spell slot as
a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table
shows the cost of creating a spell slot of a given level. You can
create spell slots no higher than 5th level.

Converting Spell Slots to Magi Points.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one spell slot
and gain a number of sorcery points equal to the slot's leveI.
Metamagic
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to twist your spells to suit
your needs. You gain two of the following Metamagic options
depending on your arcane research. You gain another
Metamagic option at 9th and 15th level. You can use only one
Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it, unless
otherwise noted.
Careful Spell
When you cast a spell that forces other creatures to make a
saving throw, you can protect some of those creatures from
the spell's full force. To do so, you spend 1 Magi Point and
choose a number of those creatures up to your Intelligence
modifier (minimum of one creature). A chosen creature
automatically succeeds on its saving throw against the spell.
Distant Spell
When you cast a spell that has a range of 5 feet or greater,
you can spend 1 Magi Point to double the range of the spell.
When you cast a spell that has a range of touch, you can
spend 1 Magi Point to make the range of the spell 30 feet.
Empowered Spell
When you roll damage for a spell, you can spend 1 Magi Point
to reroll a number of the damage dice up to your Intelligence
modifier (minimum of one). You must use the new rolls. You
can use Empowered Spell even if you have already used a
different Metamagic option during the casting of the spell.
Extended Spell
When you cast a spell that has a duration of 1 minute or
longer. you can spend 1 Magi Point to double its duration, to
a maximum duration of 24 hours.
Heightened Spell
When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving
throw to resist its effects, you can spend 3 Magi Points to
give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving
throw made against the spell.
Quickened Spell
When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you
can spend 2 Magi Points to change the casting time to 1
bonus action for this casting.
Subtle Spell
When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 Magi Point to cast it
When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and does
not have a range of self, you can spend a number of Magi
cantrip).
Ability Score Improvements
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 not increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Metamagic Mastery
At 17th level, your research on metamagic has peaked.
Instead of only being able to use your subclass specific
metamagic option (received at 10th level in your subclass
archetype) on spells of your subclass's specific spell types,
you may instead use them on any Magus spells you know.
Font Overwhelming
At 20th level, you have found a way to overcharge yourself
with arcane energy for a short time so that you can twist
spells to your whim without expending your Magi Points.
When you use this ability for the next minute you may use
metamagic without expending Magi Points, you regain use of
this feature after a short or long rest.
Arcane Research
Magi have many options when choosing their area of
research. Fortunately for them, their choices are narrowed by
the availability of instructors. The four major houses include
the Beguilers, the Preservers, the Revokers, and the
Summoners. Oftentimes, there is at least one specific school
of magic that a Magus inherently favors. The reason Magi
houses adopt two styles is in order to broaden their horizons
so that their research is not too narrow and works with the
magic that seems most compatible with their preferred
school of magic.
These areas of specialization also seek to enhance the
magical abilities that they’re most comfortable with in
interesting ways. It is meant to deepen their bonds with
magic so that they gain magical skills unique to their
research. Combining these styles can create things most
useful for the kind of magic they seek to use. All schools of
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
22
 magic can work collaboratively and create unique abilities
when learned and studied together. However, unique doesn't
always mean useful. That is the reason why the schools are
often learned and taught together the way they are.
Beguiler
Enchant and deceive
After Image
At 2nd level, you learn how to use your spells to bewilder your
enemies and cause them to lose track of your exact location.
After casting an Illusion or Enchantment spell the next attack
roll against you is done so with disadvantage until the start
Classic Misdirection
At 6th level, you have learned how to make a duplicate of
yourself to distract enemies and take your place in the fray. As
an action, you create a perfect illusion of yourself which is
semi-tangible and has hit points equal to ¼ of your hit point
total; it lasts for up to 5 minutes. The illusion appears in an
unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you. As a
bonus action on your turn, you can move the illusion up to 30
feet to a space you can see, but it must remain within 120
feet of you. For the duration, you can cast spells as though
you were in the illusion's space, but you must use your own
senses.
Additionally, when both you and your illusion are within 5
feet of a creature that can see the illusion, you have
advantage on attack rolls against that creature, given how
distracting the illusion is to the target. The duplicate
disappears when it is reduced to 0 hit points; the creature
that caused its health to drop to 0 must make a Wisdom
saving throw against your Spell Save DC, or be charmed by
you for 1 minute. You regain use of this feature after a short
or long rest.
Additional Metamagic: Flexible Saving
Throws
At 10th level, you gain the ability to change and shift the type
of saving throw used to resist your spells from your
specialized schools of magic to confuse and undermine those
against you. When you cast an Enchantment or Illusion spell
that requires a creature to make a saving throw, you may
expend 3 Magi Points and change the type of saving throw
for the spell to another type of saving throw of your choice.
Mind Control
At 14th level, you gain the ability to take over and control the
mind of another creature. You choose a creature within 60
feet of you that you can see, this creature must make a
Wisdom saving throw (DC = your Spell Save DC). If you are
in combat with the creature, it has advantage on the saving
throw. If the creature is unconscious, it has disadvantage on
the saving throw. If the creature is immune to psychic
damage, it is unaffected by this feature. On a failed save, you
are now completely in control of that creature’s body for 1
hour, temporarily leaving your own body. You gain the
creature's physical ability scores but maintain your mental
ability scores. On a successful save, nothing happens. While
in control of this creature's body, your body lies unconscious
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
23
and you can not feel or perceive anything that happens to
your body. If your body dies while using this feature, you lose
control of the creature’s mind. After using this feature, you
must finish a long rest before you regain use of this feature.
Tangible Projections
At 18th level, you have learned the secret of weaving tangible
magic into your illusions to give them a temporary reality.
When you cast an Illusion spell of 1st level or higher, you can
choose one inanimate, non-magical 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 spell is ongoing. The object
remains real for 1 minute. For example, you can create an
illusion of a door on the wall of a jail cell and make it real
long enough for you to step through. You can attempt to make
an Illusory creature real but it must be of CR 5 or lower. If
you choose illusory reality to create a creature, you may not
use it again this way until you finish a long rest.
Preserver
Perceive and protect
Arcane Shield
At 2nd level, your studies have revealed to you how to to use
your arcane energy to protect you and those around you.
When you cast a Divination or Abjuration spell you may
imbue one ally with minor protective magic. Choose yourself
or one ally within 50 feet of you, they gain an AC bonus equal
to ½ of the level (rounded up) of Divination or Abjuration spell
you casted until the start of your next turn. You may use this
feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier
and all uses of this feature are restored when you finish a
long rest.
Intervention
At 6th level, you can see glimpses into the future. These
glimpses allow you to concentrate your magical energy to
give some ability to change the future. Whenever you or a
creature within 100 feet of you makes an ability check, attack
roll, or saving throw, you can use your reaction to store that
roll and make them reroll. You can then use another reaction
to use the stored roll to replace any ability check, attack roll
or saving throw. If you do not use the stored roll before you
finish a long rest you lose it. Once you use this feature you
can not use it again until you finish a long rest.
Additional Metamagic: Enhanced
Concentration
At 10th level, you gain the ability to use your magic to
enhance your concentration and make it so you can
concentrate multiple spells of your specialized schools of
magic at once. When you cast a spell on your turn and you
are already concentrating on a spell you may expend 3 Magi
Points to cast another spell that is either Abjuration or
Divination that requires concentration. When making
concentration checks for these spells, you make each
concentration check separately.
Improved Intervention
At 14th level, your glimpses into the future have grown strong
enough that you can change events more frequently. You can
use your 'Intervention' feature twice before finishing a long
rest.
Spell Resistance
At 18th level, you have advantage on saving throws against
spells and spell effects. Additionally, you have resistance
against the damage of spells and spell effects.
Revoker
Change and manipulate
Success Revoked
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to cause an enemy to fail
when they should have succeeded. When an enemy succeeds
a saving throw against a Transmutation or Necromancy spell
you casted, you may instead use your reaction to make them
reroll the saving throw (they must use the new roll). Once you
use this feature, you may not use it again until you finish a
long rest.
Phylactery
At 6th level, your work has brought you to the creation of a
phylactery, an ancient form of magic that you believe will give
you insight into the vast mysteries of life. You can spend 8
hours creating a phylactery that contains vast magic that you
can only tap the surface of. You gain one of the following
benefits that you can change at the end of every long rest:
Darkvision out to a range of 60 feet
An increase to speed of 10 feet while you are
unencumbered
Proficiency in Constitution saving throws
Resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, or
thunder damage (your choice whenever you choose this
benefit)
Additionally, Undead creatures you summon gain hit points
equal to your Magus level and deal additional damage on
their attacks equal to your proficiency bonus.
Additional Metamagic: Chronoshift
At 10th level, you gain the ability to manipulate the time it
would normally take to cast one of your spells from your
specialized schools of magic. When you cast a Necromancy
or Transmutation spell that has a casting time of 1 hour or
less, you can choose to expend 3 Magi Points to change its
casting time to 1 action.
Flesh from Earth
At 14th level, you gain the ability to transmute humanoid
bodies. As an action, you can transform from 100 pounds to
300 pounds of wood, dirt, stone, iron, copper, or material into
a humanoid body or skeleton, and you can also do the
reverse. You can turn a creature within 5 feet of you into
either wood, dirt, stone, iron, copper, or silver; when
attempting this on a creature that is still living, that creature
makes a Constitution saving throw (DC = your Magi Spell
Save DC). On a failed save, they take 7d8 of force damage,
the creature takes half as much on a successful save. If the
target is reduced to 0 hit points by this feature, they turn into
the material you choose when you initiated this feature.
This feature has no effect on undead and constructs. You can
use this a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier
and you regain all uses of this feature when you finish a long
rest.
Enhanced Phylactery
At 18th level, you have now studied your phylactery further
and have uncovered more of its many mysterious properties.
Your phylactery can give you:
Resistance to necrotic damage (if you choose necrotic
damage as your resistance as your benefit through the
phylactery you instead gain immunity to necrotic damage),
or poison damage
Advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and
immunity to disease.
Additionally, when you cast Animate Dead or Create
Undead, you can target one additional corpse or pile of
bones, creating another zombie, skeleton, or ghoul as
appropriate.
Summoner
Conjure and destroy
Elemental Affinity
At 2nd level, you pick one damage type from acid, cold, fire,
lightning, or thunder. Spells you cast ignore resistance to the
damage of the chosen type (including attacks by creatures
summoned by spells you cast).
Potent Cantrip
At 6th level, your damaging cantrips become more effective at
damaging foes. When a creature succeeds on a saving throw
against a cantrip you casted, the creature takes ½ the
cantrip's damage (if any) but suffers no additional effect from
the cantrip. Additionally, if the cantrip is casted as a spell
attack you may add your Intelligence modifier to the damage
roll.
Additional Metamagic: Energy Change
At 10th level, you have gained the ability to change the
damage type that a spell from your specialized school of
magic inflicts. When you cast a spell that is either
Conjuration or Evocation that inflicts damage, you may
expend 3 Magi Points to change that spell's damage type to
acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage.
Elemental Aura
At 14th level, you have learned how to make the creatures you
summon, along with yourself, radiate your favored element.
At the end of your turn, you and any creatures you summon
deal 5 damage of the type you chose at 2nd level with
'Elemental Affinity' to any creature within 5 feet of you or any
creature you summon. An enemy can not take more than 20
damage per round from this feature.
Elemental Master
At 18th level, you have now mastered the element you chose
at 2nd level as part of your 'Elemental Affinity'. You now
ignore immunities and gain resistance to the damage type
you chose with 'Elemental Affinity'.

to identify and understand the nuances of the nature of

Improvisation is the key to survival in the wild. Luckily,
Mavericks are experienced in their ability to use the
resources around them to their advantage. They are masters
of the terrains that they travel and are able to use the
surrounding natural resources to create poultices with
healing properties. Mavericks are also well versed in
weaponry of all kinds, which makes them adaptable to a
variety of combat scenarios. They have been weathered by
their time in the wilderness and they are stronger for it.
Mavericks are about survival, by any means necessary.
Mavericks operate within three disciplines of survival: the
Arcana Seeker, the Hunter, and the Wrangler.
The Arcana Seeker has a working knowledge of survival as
well as of the arts of magic. This makes them versatile as
they have access to a number of arcane spells in addition to
their survival skills. Arcana Seekers place an emphasis on
intellect rather than wisdom as their arcane abilities require
them to understand and memorize the complexities of
spellcasting. Also within their well of knowledge is the ability
magic and magical devices. Some skilled Arcana Seekers
even possess the ability to steal and replicate the spells of
enemies used against them.
The Hunter is a calculated survivalist. They meticulously
plan their strategies in order to best prepare themselves for
combat scenarios they are most likely to encounter. Hunters
of large, individual prey may develop tactics around
maximizing focused damage and avoiding the attacks of
singular opponents. Hunters of smaller pacts of prey may
invoke strategies that affect multiple targets at once and that
allow them to escape from being surrounded. Regardless of
their prey, Hunters always have a plan.
The Wrangler has a connection with nature that reaches
beyond that of other Mavericks. They possess a primal
understanding with animals and beasts, which are bastions
of nature itself. Wranglers forge personal bonds with a variety
of beasts. These beasts can serve a multitude of purposes like
scouts, fighters, or travelling companions. For a Wrangler,
their beast companions hold as much (if not more) influence
on their lives than their adventuring comrades.

can not see, your inability to see it does not impose

Maverick's Companions
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to fully tame beast
companions that will train and listen to your commands fully.
To tame a companion it must be a beast. You must make a
Wisdom (Animal Handling) check. If you do not have
proficiency with the Animal Handling ability, you gain

the beasts’ Constitution score + their CR (rounded up). If you
succeed your ability check, you must spend at least 24 hours

companion. You can tame multiple companion beasts at one
time. However, the total CR of beasts you can tame at once
must be less than or equal to ¼ of your Maverick class levels.

you can verbally command all of your Companions where to
move (no action required by you). You can use your action to

Information is valuable, especially in combat. Outlaws

specialize in collecting as much information about their

opponents as they can while revealing as little information

about themselves as possible. They analyze their targets,

looking for weaknesses that they could exploit. Outlaws find

the metaphorical (sometimes literal) cracks in the armor of

the problems they face and dig their knives deep into them.

They also deceive and vanish from their opponents, keeping

their true intentions hidden. Outlaws thrive in the dichotomy

of being unknown to their foes while simultaneously knowing

everything about them. An Outlaw’s area of expertise falls

into three categories: the Bandito, the Cutthroat, the
Desperado, and the Knifeslinger.
The Bandito dedicates themself to being as dexterous as
possible, in all aspects. For them, it is as if time worked a
little slower. Banditos make quick work of intricate tasks that
would take much longer for ordinary people, like picking
locks, scaling buildings, or shuffling cards. A Bandito’s hands
are as swift as they are deliberate. Banditos also possess the
ability to separate themselves from their work, they could
take a bounty on their mother and chalk it up to being “just
business.”
The Cutthroat is a professional and a provider of services.
They treat bounties and the like as jobs, and they have the
right tools for it. Cutthroats are not only precise about killing,
but also every step that leads up to it. From infiltration, to
disguise, to getting the jump on their target. Cutthroats do it
all (and without suspicion if they are skilled enough). Because
bounty hunting is their profession, Cutthroats conduct their

CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
30
 business as such. They will not “kill some yellow-belly who
stole my money!” but they will happily eliminate a party guilty
of petty theft, for the right price of course.
The Desperado strikes a balance between risk and reward.
For them, good fortune comes when they need it and the risk
is very well worth the potential blunders afterward.
Desperados are able to succeed in even the most unlikely of
circumstances, using their wit to decipher the best moment
to push their luck. They are also well versed in the
dimensions of firearms, and through their understanding, are
able to load and smuggle them with ease. Desperados favor
the pistol, and are able to use them to exploit their opponents
in a similar fashion to their other Outlaw siblings.
The Knifeslinger is the most specialized of the Outlaw
focuses. They do one thing and they do it very well, sling
knives. Be it at a range or up close, Knifeslingers are at their
most natural with daggers in their hands. They are equally
confident in throwing their daggers as they are in slashing
with them. The motions and techniques of close-quarters,
personal combat are second-nature to the Knifeslinger. Their
familiarity with dynamics of combat allows them to react
faster and grants them the ability to instill panic into their
enemies.

or with thieves’ tools) to gain this benefit.
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSESN
31
Sneak Attack
At 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe’s
distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage
to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage
on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged
weapon. You do not need advantage on the attack roll if
another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy
is not incapacitated, and you do not have disadvantage on the
attack roll. The amount of the extra damage increases as you
gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column
of the Outlaw table.
Thieves’ Cant
At 1st level, during your criminal training you learned thieves’
cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you
to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only
another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such
messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a
message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. In
addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols
used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an
area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether
loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy
marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

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 o f your
choice by 1. As normal, you can not increase an ability score
above 20 using this feature.
Uncanny Dodge
At 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with
an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack’s
damage against you.
Evasion
At 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain
area effects, such as an explosion or cannonfire. 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.
Reliable Talent
At 11th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they
approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check
that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20
roll of 9 or lower as a 10.
Blindsense
At 14th level, if you are able to hear, you are aware of the
location of any hidden or invisible creature within 10 feet of
you.
Slippery Mind
At 15th level, you have acquired greater mental strength. You
gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.
Elusive
At 18th level, you are so evasive that attackers rarely gain the
upper hand against you. No attack roll has advantage against
you while you are not incapacitated.
Stroke of Luck
At 20th level, you have an uncanny knack for succeeding
when you need to. If your attack misses a target within range,
you can turn the miss into a hit. Alternatively, if you fail an
ability check, you can treat the d20 roll as a 20. Once you use
this feature, you can not use it again until you finish a short or
long rest.
Outlaw Archetype
Outlaws usually have many features in common, including
their emphasis on perfecting their skills, their precise and
deadly approach to combat, and their increasingly quick
reflexes. But different outlaws steer those talents in varying
directions, embodied by the Outlaw archetypes. Their choice
of archetype is a reflection of their focus. Not necessarily an
indication of your chosen profession, but a description of
your preferred techniques.
Bandito
The elusive thief
Fast Hands
At 3rd level, you can use the bonus action granted by your
Cunning Action to make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check,
use your thieves’ tools to disarm a trap or open a lock, or take
the Use an Object action.
Second-Story Work
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the
ability to climb faster than normal; climbing no longer costs
you extra movement. In addition, when you make a running
jump, the distance you cover increases by a number of feet
equal to your Dexterity modifier.
Supreme Sneak
At 9th level, you have advantage on a Dexterity (Stealth)
check if you move no more than half your speed on the same
turn.
Ruthless
At 13th level, you feel no compassion for your enemies, or if
you do you do not show it. If you do not already have it you
gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill and you are immune
to being charmed. Along with this, you have learned to spare
no one, not even the defenseless. When you make attack an
incapacitated target double the sneak attack dice you use for
your damage roll.
Thief's Reflexes
At 17th level, you have become adept at laying ambushes and
quickly escaping danger. You can take two turns during the
first round of any combat. You take your first turn at your
normal initiative and your second turn at your initiative minus
10. You can not use this feature when you are surprised.
Cutthroat
The professional killer
Professional Practices
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with two of the following tool sets: disguise kit,
forgery kit, or poisoner’s kit.
Collecting Aces
At 3rd level, your experience with bounties and deals has
netted you with the ability to collect critical information about
your targets. Spending 1 hour studying a target grants you
one “Ace.” An Ace is a potential vulnerability of your target
which you have taken note of. You can collect a maximum of
three Aces on a single target and you can have up to two
targets at a time. Any Aces you collect from a third target
causes you to lose all Aces on your first target. When making
an attack roll against a target which you have collected Aces
for, you can spend an Ace to grant yourself advantage on the
attack roll (the Ace you spend must have been collected from
the target of your attack). You gain additional uses for Aces at
9th, 13th, and 17th level.
Innovating Intelligence
At 9th level, you can use Aces to do more than exploit the
combative vulnerabilities of your targets. When using a
disguise kit for the purposes of deceiving or emulating your
target, you can spend an Ace to gain advantage on your ability
check made in relation to the disguise kit. When using a
forgery kit for the purposes of deceiving or emulating your
target, you can spend an Ace to gain advantage on your ability
check made in relation to the forgery kit. When using a
poisoner’s kit for the purposes of poisoning your target, you
can spend an Ace to gain advantage on your ability check
made in relation to the poisoner’s kit.
Improved Aces
At 13th level, your ability to gather, document, and
comprehend the critical information that your target reveals
has vastly improved. You can now collect a maximum of five

Few have the vigor to ask the hard questions in life. For the
majority, the most simple answers to the questions that they
face are often satisfactory enough. Sages dig deeper, they
wish to know the bigger picture. They are ever skeptical and
are always in search of a better, truer answer. Sages focus on
their own personal school of thought and find ways in which
they can alter it with their own ideas. They also share their
ideas with their comrades, arousing their mind and allowing
them to hone their focus. Sages combine their understanding
of reality and magic in order to cast and elevate spells based
on their philosophical insight. Sages fall within four distinct
schools of philosophy: the School of Arts, the School of
Combat, the School of Duality, and the School of Thought.
Sages that fall within the School of Arts place value in the
importance of expression. While most Scholars of Art choose
to express through music, it is not the only form of
expression. Expression can come through all forms of art,
such as visual arts like paintings or dancing, auditory arts like
music or poems, or sensory arts like cooking or candles.
Regardless of the medium, a Scholar of Art’s expressions
bolster their allies and hinder their foes.
Sages that fall within the School of Combat treat battle as
a field of study rather than a brackish melee. They are able to
weave their insights and inspirations in the midst of combat.
Scholars of Combat are also trained in armor and weaponry
and are eager to join their companions into the fray. They are
able to use their combative inspiration to focus their allies
and allow them to go beyond their normal limits. No fighter
has ever leaped into battle with a Scholar of Combat at their
side and been worse for it.
Sages that fall within the School of Duality believe that the
synchronization of mind and body is essential. To be of both
sound mind and sound body takes years of study and
meditation. Scholars of Duality find themselves able to
enhance their arcane arts through the alignment of their body
and mind. Their binary ideologies also influence the spell that
they cast, often including aspects of duality. Parts of reality
which have duality, such as night and day or life and death,
are seen as near-divine through the eyes of the Scholar of
Duality. Sages that fall within the School of Thought are the
truest of intellectuals. They emphasize the necessity of being
wise

CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
34
 as well as being knowledgeable. Scholars of Thought are

consistently in the process of acquiring new information,

seeing life as a constant cycle of learning. They develop

critical thinking and logic skills which allow them to pursue

knowledge through both wisdom and intelligence. Scholars

of Thought are also able to allow both their wisdom and

intelligence to influence their spellcasting.

a quarterstaff or (b) any simple weapon

a derringer and 20 pistol ammo

(a) a component pouch or (b) an arcane focus

(a) a scholar’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack

Spellcasting

You have learned to untangle and reshape the fabric of reality

by understanding the flow and ebb of the magic and the

universe as a whole. Your spells are part of your vast

repertoire, magic that you can utilize for different situations.

See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of

spellcasting and chapter 5 of this document for the Sage spell

list.

Cantrips

You know two cantrips of your choice from the Sage Spell

list. You learn additional Sage cantrips of your choice at

higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the

Sage table.

Spell Slots
The Sage table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells.
you must expend a slot of the spell's level at higher. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell cure wounds and
have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can
cast cure wounds using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st level and higher
You know four 1st-level spells of your choice from the Sage
spell list. The Spells Known column of the Sage table shows
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
35
when you learn more Sage spells of your choice. Each of
these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots,
as shown on the table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level
in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the Sage spells you know and replace it with
another spell from the Sage spell list, which also must be of a
level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Sage spells. Your
magic comes from your perception of the universe and the
ways you have learned how to coax out this magic through
your perception and knowledge of this magic. You use your
Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability.
In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the
saving throw DC for a Sage spell you cast and when making
an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom
modifier
Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Wisdom modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast any sage spell you know as a ritual if that spell
has the ritual tag.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your
sage spells.
Sagely Inspiration
At 1st level, you can inspire others through stirring words,
advice, or knowledge. To do so, you use a bonus action on
your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within
60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one
Sagely Inspiration die, a d6.
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the
die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll,
or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it
rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Sagely Inspiration
die, but must decide before the GM says whether the roll
succeeds or fails. Once the Sagely Inspiration die is rolled, it
is lost. A creature can have only one Sagely Inspiration die at
a time. You can use this feature a number of times equal to
your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any
expended uses when you finish a long rest. Your Sagely
Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this
class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level,
and a d12 at 15th level.
Sage Schools
At 2nd level, you delve into the advanced techniques of a sage
school of your choice: School of Arts, School of Combat,
School of Duality, and School of Thought all detailed at the
end of the class description. Your choice grants you features
at 2nd level and again at 6th, again at 10th, and 14th level.
Renewal of Magic
At 2nd level, you have learned to regain some of your magical
energy through use of rest meditation and pondering. Once
per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose
expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a
combined level that is equal to or less than half your Sage
level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or
higher. For example, if you are a 4th level Sage, you can
recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover
either a 2nd level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.
Expertise
At 3rd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your
proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make
that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. At 10th level, you
can choose another two skill proficiencies to gain this benefit.
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 not increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Constant Musings
At 5th level, you regain all of your expended uses of Sagely
Inspiration when you finish a short or long rest.
Magical Insight
At 6th level, your perception of magic allows you to see
through magical deception much more easily. Any Wisdom
saving throws or ability checks to see through illusion spells
are done with advantage.
Serene Mind
At 7th level, you can use your action to end one effect on
yourself that is causing you to be charmed or frightened.
Magical Secrets
At 10th level, you have plundered magical knowledge from a
wide spectrum of disciplines. Choose two spells from any
class, including this one. A spell you choose must be of a level
you can cast, as shown on the Sage table, or a cantrip. The
chosen spells count as Sage spells for you and are included in
the number in the Spells Known column of the Sage table.
You learn two additional spells from any class at 14th level
and again at 18th level.
Lingual Essence
At 13th level, you learn to perceive the souls and minds of
others so that you understand all spoken languages.
Moreover, any creature that can understand a language can
understand what you say.
Inscrutable Soul
At 17th level, your thoughts can not be read by telepathy or
other means, unless you allow it. You can present false
thoughts by making a Charisma (Deception) check contested
by the mind reader's Wisdom (Insight) check. Additionally, no
matter what you say, magic that would determine if you are
telling the truth indicates you are being truthful if you so
choose, and you can not be compelled to tell the truth by
magic.
Superior Inspiration
At 20th level, when you roll initiative and have no uses of
Sagely Inspiration left, you regain one use.
Sage Schools
A Sage values knowledge by both learning from those around
them as well as evaluating themselves and the internal truths
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
36
 that they know. Sages are certain to reflect on reality and
what they know as a method to improve themselves. In order
to further their studies, Sages split into different colleges, all
dedicating themselves to different aspects of society. Through
questioning their own preconceived notions and help from
their teachers and peers, they further themselves down their
chosen Sage school and develop the areas they seek to truly
understand. Through their chosen path they seek
enlightenment. Each path brings a different answer, because
all good Sages know a good question has multiple answers.
School of Arts
Student of the fine arts
Bonus Proficiencies
At 2nd level, you gain proficiency with three artistic
instruments of your choice and the Performance skill. You
may also use instruments you are proficient in as a spell
focus.
Countercharm
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to use musical notes or
words of power to disrupt mind-influencing effects. As an
action, you can start a performance that lasts until the end of
your next turn. During that time, you and any friendly
creatures within 30 feet of you have advantage on saving
throws against being frightened or charmed. A creature must
be able to hear or see you to gain this benefit. The
performance ends early if you are incapacitated or silenced
or if you voluntarily end it (no action required).
Cutting Words
At 6th level, you learn how to use your wit to distract, confuse,
and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others.
When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you makes
an attack roll, an ability check, a damage roll, or a saving
throw you can use your reaction to expend one of your uses
of Sagely Inspiration, roll a Sagely Inspiration die and
subtract the number rolled from the creature's roll. You can
choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll,
but before the GM determines whether the attack roll, ability
check, or saving throw succeeds or fails, or before the
creature deals its damage. The creature is immune if it can
not hear you or if it is immune to being charmed.
Nature’s Melody
At 10th level, you have learned how to draw on the essence of
nature and the meaning of the world. As an action you can
express this essence and when you do you can choose from
cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, radiant, or thunder and you and
a number of allies equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of 1) gain a resistance to that damage type. When
you or an ally make a damage roll, after making a successful
weapon attack, you can add 1d6 of the chosen damage to the
damage roll. Instead of choosing a damage type you could
instead choose to have a number of allies equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) regain hit points equal to
1d6 plus your Charisma modifier at the end of your turn until
the end of the duration of this feature. This feature lasts for a
number of rounds equal to half of your Sage class levels and
you must concentrate on this feature as if it were a spell.
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
37
Creatures can not gain the benefits of this feature if they can
not hear you, if they are immune to being charmed, or if they
are a construct or undead. Once you use this feature, you
must finish a long rest before you can use it again.
Display of Heroism
At 14th level, you have learned how to use your art to not only
touch people’s minds but also to inspire their souls. As an
action you can begin to express an anecdote of heroism that
gives all allies within 60 feet advantage on attack rolls, ability
checks, and saving throws. You must concentrate on this
feature as if you were concentrating on a spell, and this
feature can last a number of rounds equal to your Charisma
modifier (minimum of 1). Once you use this feature, you must
finish a long rest before you can use it again.
School of Combat
Student of battle
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join the School of Combat at 2nd level, you gain
proficiency with medium armor, shields, martial weapons,
and firearms.
Combat Inspiration
At 2nd level, you learn to inspire others in battle. A creature
that has a Sagely Inspiration die from you can roll that die
and add the number rolled to a weapon damage roll when
they successfully make a weapon attack. Alternatively, when
an attack roll is made against the creature, it can use its
reaction to roll the Sagely Inspiration die and add the
number rolled to its AC against that attack, this feature can
be used after the attack is declared but before knowing
whether it hits or misses.
Extra Attack
At 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever
you take the Attack action on your turn.
Instant Inspiration
At 10th level, when a creature receives Sagely Inspiration it
can use its reaction to immediately make one weapon attack
against an enemy.
Battle Magic
At 14th level, you have mastered the art of weaving
spellcasting and weapon use into a single act. When you use
your action to cast a Sage spell, you can make one weapon
attack as a bonus action.
School of Duality
Student of dichotomy
Bonus Cantrip
When you join the School of Duality at 2nd level, you can
choose an additional cantrip from the Sage’s cantrip list and
add it to your cantrips known.

only one creature, the spell can instead target two creatures
within
range and within 5 feet of each other, if the cantrip has a Potent Spellcasting

Save DCs, spell attack modifiers and spell damage.
Perceptual Burst
At 6th level, you learn how to unleash the latent magical
energy residing in yourself that can be a boon for allies but
the bane of your enemies. As an action you can unleash this
energy, all allies within 30 feet regain hit points equal to your
Sage class levels + your Wisdom modifier and all enemies
within 30 feet must make a Constitution saving throw against
your Sage spell save DC, on a failure they take damage equal
to two times your Sage level, half as much on a success. You
can not use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Mind and Body
At 10th level, you have learned how to operate matters of
mind and body so that they do not interfere as heavily with
each other. You gain resistance to psychic damage and you
now have advantage on all concentration checks.
Improved Dual Casting
At 14th level, when you cast a Sage spell of 1st through 5th
level that targets only one creature, the spell can instead
target two creatures within range and within 5 feet of each
other, if the spell has a range of touch it both targets must be
within touch range of you. If the spell consumes its material
components, you must provide the material components for
each target.
School of Thought
Student of the mind
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join the School of thought at 2nd level, you learn a
language of your choice. You also become proficient in your
choice of two of the following skills: Animal Handling,
Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, Mechanics, Medicine,
Nature, Perception, Religion, or Survival.
Thorough Logic
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to further your logical
pursuits by using your wisdom. When you make an ability
check with a skill that you are proficient in and that uses your
Intelligence ability modifier you may also add your Wisdom
ability modifier to the ability check.
Additional Magical Secrets
At 6th level, you learn two spells of your choice from any
class. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as
shown on the Sage table, or a cantrip. The chosen spells
count as Sage spells for you but do not count against the
number of Sage spells you have prepared.

Some people run themselves insane trying to forget their
pasts. But Shamans revel in their pasts, both the past that
they have experienced and the past of those that came before
them. They draw their magic from the influential spirits that
are tied to them. Be it their ancestors, or a creature that
represents what the Shaman stands for, Shamans rely
heavily on the support of the past. They have a rapport with
all things living and the spirits that they represent. Shamans
are able to communicate with their spiritual companions in
order to harness their focus, to speak with others’ spirits (be
them living, dead, or otherwise), or to relive spiritual events
related to objects or locations. For Shamans, death is only a
stage in the greater scheme of life. A Shaman’s spiritualism
can be relative to a specific spirit or to life as a whole: these
are denoted by the Animism and Totemism spiritual
pathways.
Animists are able to wield the dormant spiritual energies
within any environment that they encounter. They are able to
draw from the spiritual planes in order to fuel their
spellcasting ability, though drawing these energies comes at a
this channeling, they are able to emit these spiritual energies
to protect themselves and their companions. Some skilled
Animists are even able to temporarily enter or send others to
the spiritual planes.
Totemists channel the influence of specific animal spirits in
order to physically represent the traits of those spirits. Those
who channel the bear are given strength and are made more
resilient to physical damage by their bear spirits. Those who
channel the wolf are made more hearty and pact-like by their
wolf spirits. Those who channel the eagle are made more
swift, agile, and dexterous by their eagle spirits. While a
Totemist’s spirit animal is not required to be a bear, eagle, or
wolf, it should represent similar traits to one of the three.
Class Features
As a Shaman, you gain the following class features.

Hit Dice: 1d8 per Shaman level

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the

equipment granted by your background:

a tomahawk and a simple or martial weapon

a long bow and 20 arrows

a hide armor or a duster

an explorer’s pack

a shaman focus

Spellcasting

Drawing on the divine essence of nature itself, you can cast

spells to shape that essence to your will. See chapter 10 of

the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 5 of

this document for the Shaman spell list.

Cantrips

You know two cantrips of your choice from the Shaman spell

list. You learn additional Shaman cantrips of your choice at

higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the

Shaman table. You learn an additional cantrip at 4th level and

an additional one at 10th level.

Preparing and Casting spells

The Shaman table shows how many spell slots you have to

cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these

Shaman spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or

higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a

short or long rest. You prepare the list of Shaman spells that

are available for you to cast, choosing from the shaman spell

list. When you do so, choose a number of Shaman spells

equal to your Wisdom modifier + half of your Shaman level

(minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for

which you have spell slots. The Shaman table shows how

many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the

level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level.

To cast one of your Shaman spells of 1st level or higher, you

must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots
when you finish a short or long rest. For example, when you
are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the
1sl-level spell thunderwave, you must spend one of those
slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Shaman spells,
since your magic draws upon your devotion and attunement
to nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to
your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a shaman

shamans have similar practices but each has a particular

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Wisdom modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a shaman spell as a ritual if that spell has the
ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a shaman focus (found in chapter 5) as a
spellcasting focus for your Shaman spells.
Shamanic Path
At 1st level, you start down your shamanic path. Most
path they follow that when followed have different practices
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES

 and give them different abilities specialized for their own
path. The two major paths are Animism and Totemism, both
detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice
grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 11th, and
18th level.
Spirit Companion
At 1st level, you have a spirit companion (you may choose the
form it appears to you as). As a bonus action, you can channel
your spirit companion and either gain advantage on all
Wisdom checks and Wisdom saving throws for the next 5
minutes or you can add your Wisdom modifier to your attack
rolls and damage rolls for the next 30 seconds. You regain
the use of this feature of a short or long rest.
At 7th level, your spirit companion allows you to
communicate with all creatures. You can cast Speak with
Beasts, Speak with Plants, and Speak with the Dead as
rituals without expending a spell slot.
At 14th level, your spirit companion can allow you to see
into the past. You can call up visions of the past that relate to
either an object or location in your immediate surroundings.
From this, your spirit companion can inform you of either
personal (using Personal Aura Seeking) or emotional (using
Emotional Aura Seeking) energies related to it. To do so, you
enter a meditation-like trance in which you converse with
your spiritual companion. The trance lasts for 1 minute and
the seeking fails if you are interrupted. You can use this
feature a number of times equal to Wisdom modifier, you
must take a long rest before you regain all uses of this
feature.
Personal Aura Seeking. You discover one piece of
information related to who or what has held this item or been
in this location in the last several weeks. The number of
weeks you are able to see back into are equal to your Wisdom
modifier. The information you learn could be a name or a
physical description of the individual. The individual you
learn of is the last person to hold the item or enter the
location, unless you have a physical description or name
which you can focus upon that can allow you to learn if that
person owned the item or visited the location in the last
number of weeks. Further uses of this feature on the same
item or location yield information pertaining to the next
person to hold the item or enter the location in reverse-
chronological order.
Emotional Aura Seeking. You discover one piece of
information related to why or how this item came into
ownership or this location was entered in the last several
weeks. The number of weeks you are able to see back into
are equal to your Wisdom modifier. The information you
learn is limited, usually limited to only a single sentence like:
“this area was last entered in a plot of revenge,” or “this item
last came into ownership by way of theft.” Further uses of this
feature on the same item or location yield information
pertaining to the next person to hold the item or enter the
location in reverse-chronological order.
Healing Touch
At 2nd level, your touch becomes blessed with spiritual
energy and you can use this energy to heal wounds. You have
a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long
rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
41
points equal to your Shaman class levels times 5. As an
action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the
pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to
the maximum amount remaining in your pool. Alternatively,
you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure
the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it.
You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple
poisons with a single use of healing touch, expending hit
points separately for each one. This feature has no effect on
undead and constructs.
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 not increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Land’s Stride
At 10th level, moving through non-magical difficult terrain
costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through non-
magical plants without being slowed by them and without
taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a
similar hazard. In addition, you have advantage on saving
throws against plants that are magically created or
manipulated to impede movement, such those created by the
Entangle spell.
Shamanic Mysticism
At 11th level, you gain access to primal mystical spells that
only a deep understanding of the world around you has
allowed you to master. Choose one 6th level spell from the
Shaman spell list because, unlike the spells you prepare
every day, these spells must be learned completely and
attempting to master them all can disrupt your inner balance
and cause many disastrous effects. You can cast your spell
once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long
rest before you can do so again. At higher level, you gain more
Shaman spells of your choice that can be cast in this way:
one 7th level spell at 13th level, one 8th level spell at 15th
level, and one 9th level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses
of your Shamanistic Mysticism when you finish a long rest.
Immortal Body
At 20th level, the primaI magic that you wield causes you to
age and act far differently than a normal humanoid. For every
10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year, you suffer
none of the frailty of old age, you can not be aged magically,
and you are immune to disease and poison.
Shamanic Path
Shamans represent many different things for many kinds of
people. For their own they are healers and medicine men and
the one among them that can commune with the spirits. They
tread a line between our world and others, they can even
draw power from this connection. For a Shaman, the
shamanic path they choose is one of great importance. Those
who walk this path usually end up being a student of
totemism or animism and both have very different ways of
interacting with the spirits around them.
Animism
Communion with souls
Unyielding Magic
At 1st level, you have learned to use your own life energy to
tap into magic that you possess. You can cast a spell that is
5th level or lower that you have prepared without expending
a spell slot by expending an amount of hit points equal to 5
times the spell’s level that you are casting. You can also cast
spells at higher levels using this feature, to do so you expend
a number of hit points for the spell you are casting equivalent
to what you would expend on a normal spell of that higher
level. Any spells that allow you to regain hit points using this
feature can not be used on yourself.
Spiritual Warding
At 6th level, the animistic spirits which are drawn to you
provide protection to you and your allies. You and friendly
creatures within 10 feet of you have resistance to damage
from spells.
Twilight State
At 11th level, you gain the ability to put creatures or yourself
into a state of existence that would make the target unable to
interact with the world around you. You can use this feature
on yourself or a creature within touch range and it acts as if
you casted the Etherealness spell with the following
exceptions: the plane they have been put in is the Twilight
Plane, a coalition of deep darkness or blinding light. Targets
can only perceive the material plane while in this plane by
making a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) Ability check, the
target is stuck in the place in which they were transported to
the Twilight Plane and can not move from that spot. You can
only dispel Twilight State early if you have used the feature
on yourself, which takes an action. If you attempt to use this
feature on an unwilling creature they can make a Charisma
saving throw against your Shaman Spell Save DC. On a
success they are not affected by Twilight State. Once you use
this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it
again.
Primal Spirit
At 18th level, through channeling powerful spiritual energies
you can assume the form of an ancient force of nature, taking
on an appearance you choose. For example, your skin might
turn green or take on a bark-like texture, your hair might
become leafy or moss-like, or you might sprout antlers or a
lion-like mane. Using your action, you undergo a
transformation. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:
You and friendly creatures within 30 feet of you can not be
charmed or frightened while you are in this form
All allies within 30 feet you regain 5 hit points per turn
Enemies within 60 feet of you have disadvantage on all
saving throws made against your Shaman spells that you
cast
Totemism
Communion with nature
Spiritual Path
At 1st level, you choose a totem animal from bear, eagle, and
wolf, the totem animal you choose will affect the benefits you
get at this level as well as affect benefits you gain from
abilities at later levels.
Bear: You immediately gain 2 hit points and you gain an
additional 2 hit points whenever you gain an additional level
in the Shaman class.
Eagle: You gain flying speed equal to your current walking
speed. This benefit works only in short bursts; you fall if you
end your turn in the air and nothing else is holding you aloft.
Wolf: You gain proficiency with Constitution saving throws.
Extra Attack
At 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever
you take the attack action on your turn.
Animalistic Ferocity
At 11th level, you have learned how to channel your
animalistic nature to give you an edge on the battlefield. On
your turn you can channel your totem animal as a bonus
action to gain benefits based on your spirit animal for 1
minute.You may use this feature a number of times equal to
your Wisdom modifier, you regain all uses of this feature after
a long rest.
Bear: You gain resistance to all non-magical bludgeoning,
piercing, and slashing damage
Eagle: Once per turn you may Disengage as a free action
and you may Dash as a bonus action
Wolf: You and all allies within 5 feet of you gain advantage
on all attack rolls
Primal Power
At 18th level, you can feel the primal power of your totem
animal flowing through your veins and it allows you to push
past humanoid limitations based upon your totem animal.
Bear: Your Strength ability score maximum is now 24 and
you gain +4 to your Strength score
Eagle: Your Dexterity ability score maximum is now 24
and you gain +4 to your Dexterity score
Wolf: Your Constitution ability score maximum is now 24
and you gain +4 to your Constitution score.

Specialists combine their knowledge of a modern

battlefield and their excellent agility to blow away their

enemies, literally. Specialists are able to craft specialized
bombs that have a form and function that start out similar to
grenades but evolve as they craft them further. They use
these bombs to demolish any obstacles that would get in their
way, often without worry as to their own wellbeing due to the
safety mechanisms built into the bomb. Specialists are also
highly adaptable and are usually smart enough to know when
to blow things up and when to ask questions.
Some skilled specialists have even found a way to quiet the
weapons of the modern battlefield, building things to bring a
stealthier component to the loud firearms that define current
combat. Specialists have found a way to explode onto the
battlefield in other ways too, especially by using the tools in
their area of expertise. Specialists have three areas of
expertise that they can fit into: the Alchemist, the
Demolitionist, and the Mechanist, all of them serve to hone
the skills of the Specialists who go down them in one way or
another. Alchemists are skilled in the art of not only creating
concoctions with various effects, but also reproducing
magical spells in their own way. The potions that an
alchemist creates can be imbued with the magic of a spell
that can aid themselves or an ally. They are also able to
create health potions so that themself and their allies can
stay fresh during and after battles. Though only one potion
can be active at a time for a normal alchemist, they prove to a
great boon in times of need. Alchemists have also learned
how to effectively use poisons and acids in order to

CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
43
be leave their opponents cowering in fear, which they
eventually build up a resistance to themselves.
Demolitionists are often the type of Specialists that would
rather blow things up first and ask questions later, despite
what their better sense would tell them to do. These
Specialists focus on making their bombs not only much
stronger but also more adaptable and will even remove safety
features from bombs so that they can blow up when certain
special conditions are met, even if they are not present.
Demolitionists will use whatever they can to blow up, set fire
to, and overall just completely ruin and demolish whatever
would stand in their way.
If Specialists are masters of the modern battlefield,
Mechanists seek to be those of the future battlefield.
Mechanists wish to understand and advance technology
beyond how it currently exists, including the technology used
in battle. Every Mechanist has an impressive knowledge of
mechanics and will often spend most of their free time
tinkering with something. This almost always leads to a
further understanding of energy, especially electricity, and to
what kind of weapons could be built out of what they are
learning. Often Mechanists keep their new super weapons a
secret unless you are either close to them or they plan to use
it on you, but those that witness them equate them to things
that skilled practitioners of magic can do.
Class Features
As a Specialist, you gain the following class features.
Hit Points
Hit Dice: 1d8 per Specialist level
counts as one part of your bomb total for that day. The
Hit Points at 1st level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
amount of damage your bombs do increases as you gain
Hit Points at higher levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution
modifier per Specialist level after 1st
Proficiencies
Armor: light armor
Weapons: simple weapons, firearms
Quick Hands
Tools: none
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to use the use object and
Saving Throws: Dexterity, Intelligence
search for object actions as bonus actions
Skills: choose three from the following skills Acrobatics,
Athletics, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, History,
Investigation, Mechanics, Nature, Perception, Sleight of
Hand, Survival, and Stealth
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the
equipment granted by your background:
a duster, revolver, and 20 pistol ammo
a simple weapon
derringer and 20 pistol ammo
(a) a dungeoneer's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
the material to make 40 bombs
By Land and By Sea
At 1st level, you have learned how to operate most vehicles
rather proficiently, you gain proficiency with vehicles (land)
and vehicles (water).
Bombs
At 1st level, you gain the ability to specially craft bombs
similar to grenades used to damage your enemies. After you
finish a long rest you can construct a number of bombs equal
to your Specialist class levels + your Intelligence modifier
(minimum of 1). It takes one hour to craft all of your bombs.
You can buy the materials to make your bombs at most
general stores for 1 gold per the materials to make 1 bomb.
The materials to make 1 bomb weigh half of a pound
(Specialists who choose to carry the materials to make
multiple bombs with them must take this into consideration
when determining their carrying capacity). With your bombs
you take an Attack action to make a Special Ranged Weapon
Attack that can be thrown up to 60 feet (This Special Ranged
Weapon Attack uses your entire action). The target hit by the
bomb takes 2d8 bludgeoning from the explosion and every
creature within 5 feet of the target must make a Dexterity
saving throw against your Specialist Save DC (your
Specialist Save DC will be used for other class features that
require your target to make a saving throw to resist the
feature’s effects), this includes the original target of the bomb.
On a failure, affected targets take 2d6 piercing damage from
shrapnel, targets suffer no damage taken on a successful
save.
Bombs fail to explode and become inert if they miss, they
may not have hit the enemy properly or completely missed
their target. Any bombs you do not use before finishing a long
rest become inert once you finish a long rest. An inert bomb
can not be used until after the interval in which you make
your bombs, at which point the inert bomb is renewed and
levels in this class, as shown in the Bomb Damage column of
the Specialist table.
Specialist Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Area of Expertise
At 2nd level, you have begun to find what exactly you
specialize in as a Specialist and what kind of Specialist you
want to become: Alchemist, Demolitionist, or Mechanist.
Your choice grants you features at 2nd, 7th, 11th, 14th, and
18th level.
Smoke Bomb
At 3rd level, you have learned how to create smoke bombs to
give yourself a tactical advantage on the battlefield. As a
bonus action, you can throw a smoke bomb to a point within
60 feet of you. The smoke bomb creates a 10 feet radius
sphere of smoke centered on the point you threw it to. The
smoke continues to expand after your turn with the radius
increasing 5 feet at the start of each of your turns until the
fog cloud has reached a 20 feet radius. The sphere spreads
around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for 1
minute or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least
10 miles per hour) disperses it. You can not use this feature
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
44
 again until you finish a short or long rest. Smoke Bombs do
not count towards your daily total of bombs.
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
At the GM's option, you might also

using this feature.
Extra Attack
At 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever
you take the Attack action on your turn. You can not use this
feature to make more than one Bomb Attack.
Explosive Force
At 6th level, you have learned how to make your bombs have
a bigger bang for their buck. You may add your Intelligence
modifier to the damage your bombs do.
Blast Shield
At 9th level, you have become quite adept at dodging any
damage done by bombs, especially your own. When you are
subjected to an explosion that allows you to make a 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. You have advantage on saving throws against your own
bombs and other Specialist features.
Improved Bombs
At 10th, level the radius to which the shrapnel of your bombs
will travel to increase from 5 feet to 10 feet. Additionally At
17th, level the shrapnel damage your bombs increase from to
4d6.
Silencer
At 13 level, you have invented to the best of your ability a way
to quiet your firearm’s noise. When you use a firearm, you
can attach a silencer to your firearms that will mask the noise
very efficiently, from a range it would be very hard to tell that
there was a noise or, if someone did hear, that it was even a
firearm and not some noise natural to the area. Other
creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks
to hear the noise your silenced firearms make. The silencer
however is unwieldy, technical, and somewhat impractical to
the point that anyone other than you can not use it efficiently.
The first time you construct a silencer it comes without any
cost due to you having been experimenting with the
foundation of it for some time, but if you need to craft another
one it requires one day of downtime and 200 gold to
represent the cost of materials used.
Field Reconnaissance
At 15th level, if you spend at least 1 minute observing or
interacting with another creature outside combat, you can
learn certain information about its capabilities compared to
your own. The GM tells you if the creature is your equal,
superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following
characteristics of your choice:
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES

Strength score
Dexterity score
Constitution score
Intelligence score
Wisdom score
Charisma score
Class levels (if any)
realize you know a piece of the creature's history or one of
its personality traits, if it has any.
Nitroglycerin
At 20th level, you have learned how to make a very high
impact explosive bomb containing nitroglycerin. When
making your bombs you can choose one to have it contain
nitroglycerin rather than its normal components. You can
throw the nitroglycerin bomb to a spot within 60 feet of you.
Every creature within 25 feet radius of that spot must make a
Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, affected creatures
suffer 6d6 of piercing damage.
Additionally, every creature within a 15 feet radius of the
detonation point takes 4d8 bludgeoning damage and 4d8 fire
damage. The impact also leaves a crater destroying things in
the area of detonation, leaves scorch marks in the area, and
can be heard by creatures miles away.
Area of Expertise
All Specialists bring the same general things with them when
they enter into the fray, their quick wits and reflexes and the
ability to blast away whatever gets into their path. What
differentiates Specialists is also the most important aspect of
what it means to be a Specialist, their area of expertise. This
will often define how they best utilize the tools they have
been given in any situation as they strive to show how the
features of the expertise they embody, whether new or old,
shines.
Alchemist
Brewer of potions and poisons
Potions
At 2nd level, you learn how to craft potions that contain the
ingredients to distill your magic. The potions you craft only
contain the basic ingredients needed to house a spell. As an
action, you can instill the magic of one of the spells from your
alchemist spell list, listed below, into one of the potions.
Your potions also work differently than a normal spell
would in multiple ways; you twist spells to fit your expertise.
As a potion, all spells have a range of ‘self’ (unless stated in
the spell that the spell only affects you and the range
indicates the radius that the spell’s powers emit from you).
All spells only affect the creature that drank the potion,
even if the spell indicates that it affects multiple creatures
and instructs you to choose multiple people.
You do not need any of the material components for the
spells on your list. All potions last until the time limit on the
spell is reached (you can not choose to end the spell early).
You do not need to make concentration checks for spells
cast through potions that you or others have used.
The effect of the potions become inert through spells that
would negate magical effects (such as ‘dispel magic’).

You can have two separate creatures, including yourself,
under the effects of your potions, or two potions affecting
yourself at the same time. A creature other than yourself can
not be under the effects of two of your potions at the same
time, and potions become inactive the same manner as
before; when you use a new potion while two are active, the
oldest potion’s effects become inactive.
Demolitionist
Creator of blasts and bombardments
Mad Bomber
At 2nd level, you begin to hone your skills as a bomber which
allows you to throw your bombs twice the distance, up to 120
feet, that you would normally be able to. You also gain the
ability to make an additional number of bombs equal to half
of your Specialist level on a short or long rest.
Light the Fuse
At 7th level, you have learned how to truly demolish anything
you hit with your bombs. Rather than the bludgeoning
damage that your bombs normally do, you can choose to have
them do either fire or thunder damage instead. Additionally,
you can also convert one of your bombs into a Satchel
Charge. You can throw the Satchel Charge to an area within
your normal range and you can detonate the Satchel Charge
as a bonus action. The Satchel Charge has a 15 feet radius
from where you threw it and any creature within the radius
must make a Dexterity saving throw. Affected targets suffer
4d6 piercing damage and 4d6 fire damage on a failed save, or
half damage on a successful one. Then, affected targets
within the radius must then succeed a Strength saving throw
or be flung 20 feet in the opposite direction of the Satchel
Charge. You can not make another Satchel Charge again
using this feature until you finish a long rest.
Extra Sharp Shrapnel
At 11th level, you have learned how to make your bomb’s
shrapnel even deadlier than before. When a creature
succeeds the Dexterity saving throw on your bombs' shrapnel
piercing damage, they now take half damage.
Conditional Detonation
At 14th level, you can set a condition to detonate your bombs
when the chosen condition is met.
You may set your bombs on a timer, preparing a time for
your bombs to detonate (no longer than 24 hours).
You may also set your bombs to detonate when a certain
amount of pressure is put on them (no less than 20 pounds of
pressure and no more 600 pounds of pressure). If these
bombs do not detonate within 24 hours, they become inert.
If the bombs you applied conditions to are discovered
before they explode, a creature can attempt to disarm them
with the DC = 10 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence
modifier; they must use either thieves tools or the Mechanics
skill. If they fail the check to disarm the bomb, the bomb will
detonate and they must then make a Dexterity saving throw,
creatures that fail the saving throw take the bomb’s full
damage, creatures that succeed take half damage.
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
47
Thermite Reaction
At 18th level, as a Demolitionist you have learned how to
harness the destructivity of thermite. As an action, you can
apply thermite to one creature or object within 5 feet of you.
The targeted creatures must make a Dexterity saving throw
(DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier)
to determine how thoroughly the target is doused in thermite.
When a creature doused in thermite suffers fire damage, they
become ignited. When a creature is ignited, they immediately
suffer 4d8 fire damage on a failure, and take half as much on
a success. The creature then continues to suffer this damage
as a new damage roll at the start of the creature’s turn for 1
minute or until the creature uses two consecutive actions to
attempt to put out the flames. You can not use this feature
again until you finish a short or long rest.
Mechanist
Inventor of machines and mechanisms
Technological Expert
At 2nd level, you have become quite the savant when it comes
to dealing with machines and burgeoning technology. If you
are not already proficient in the Mechanics skill, or tinker
tools, you gain proficiency with them. Your proficiency bonus
is doubled for any ability checks you make with the
Mechanics skill and tinker tools.
Dazzler
At 7th level, you have learned how to harness the energy you
have been studying and infuse your bombs with it. Rather
than the bludgeoning damage that your bombs normally do,
you can choose to have them do either lightning or radiant
damage instead. Additionally, you can convert one of your
bombs to produce a Flare Bomb which the light can blind
your enemies. You can throw this bomb the same range as a
normal bomb as an action and anyone within 40 feet radius
of the flare must make a Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, affected creatures are blinded for 1 minute. You
can not make another Flare Bomb again using this feature
until you finish a long rest.
Railgun
At 11th level, your study of electricity has reached a point that
you have begun to understand the powers of
electromagnetism and have the ability to harness
electromagnetism in order to create a railgun. The first time
you construct your Railgun, it is a product of long and
arduous work which took place over your entire time spent as
a Mechanist, if you ever need to construct a replacement
railgun, it will take three days worth of downtime and 4000
gold to represent materials used.
The railgun is a ranged weapon with a range of 180/400
which does 5d8 + your Dexterity modifier piercing damage
and has the 'Loading' property. If there is an enemy directly
behind an enemy you hit with the railgun (up to 20 feet
behind the creature you hit) you can make an attack roll
against that creature and this attack deals 2d8 + your
Dexterity modifier piercing damage. You can use your railgun
a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier, after
which you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.
Analyst
At 14th level, you have advantage on ability checks made to
repair, disable, or discern the properties and abilities of
mechanical devices.
Death Ray
At 18th level, your studies and tinkering have culminated into
what might be one of the deadliest weapons man has ever
created, the Death Ray. The first time you construct your
Death Ray it is a product of long and arduous work which
took place over your entire time spent as a Mechanist, if you
ever need to construct a replacement one it will take one
week's worth of downtime and 10,000 gold to represent
materials used. As an action, you can fire the Death Ray
directly from you in a straight line for 120 feet. Any creature
in that line must make a Dexterity saving throw, affected
creatures take 8d12 radiant damage on a failed save, half as
much on a successful one. The Death Ray disintegrates, sets
fire to, or sears anything within the area that is not being
worn. You can not use the Death Ray again until you finish a
short or long rest.

The Warlock uses ancient arcane ability to unleash power
that most mortals could only dream of having. Though they
do increase their powers through hard work and discipline
like others, they draw their powers from ancient, mysterious,
and immensely powerful entities that have shown them favor.
These powers are thrust upon some Warlocks, some bargain
with their would-be patron, or a servant of them, and others
work hard to garner enough favor to be gifted the power that
they seek. The power of the Warlock gives those that use it
choices as to the exact nature of their powers, from the spells
they use, to the invocations they make, to the pact boons they
receive. The pact boons Warlock receive can be the pact of
the armament which gives the user a conventional weapon to
match the powers received from their patrons, the pact of the
chain which deems you the master over a creature that not
only serves your patron but now serves under you completely,
or the pact of the tome which enhances your spellcasting
prowess. The final and most important choice a Warlock
must make is the pact itself and which patron they will be
working under, as all of them have advantages and drawbacks
of some kind. Warlocks can invoke pacts with a variety of
powerful entities: the Devil, the Eldritch Remnant, the Loa, or
the Void.
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
49
The Devil as patrons are sly by nature and will often make
bargains that allow you to gain powers in return for
something important. This item or aspect may draw its
importance not because they want it, but because someone,
perhaps even yourself, does. They require sacrifices that they
know they can use later, and they frequently opt to take the
long con. The deals they make ensnare many into deals that
often seem too good to be true, because they are. Though you
will gain great power and skill from your pact, often the price
you paid will not even be remotely equivalent. Sometimes
lesser servants of The Devil will form pacts themselves, but
the power all derives from the same source and the outcome
is always the same.
The Eldritch Remnants are ancient, powerful bodies of
magical energy. These cosmic fields have been left to fester
for millenia. Over the course of time, they have grown to
massive reserves of potential arcane energy. They have
grown powerful enough to form their own consciousness and
agency. Though they can not act in their own right, Eldritch
Remnants impose their influence through those who have
borrowed from their massive arcane reserves.
Because Eldritch Remnants have no control of their own
cosmic bodies, they are often very controlling of their


detractors’ actions. Their goals are often fueled by their

desire for a physical form. Those who have taken the Eldritch

Remnant as a patron will often be given obscure tasks which

seem fruitless but will build upon the work of other

detractors and ultimately contribute to the Eldritch

Remnant’s larger plans.

The Loa exist as powerful spirits, some seeking to guide,

others seeking to grant luck (good or bad), and others seeking

only further their own goals. The one thing that links them

together is that they are all very macabre in nature and while

it might seem evil to some to them, it is just how they

function and some mean no harm by it. Many Lao seek to

help their followers, who revere them as gods in their own

rights, though their practices may seem odd and undesirable

to outsiders. Just as many Loa are extremely dark entities

though pleasure themselves through death and suffering.

Sometimes being able to tell the difference between which

Loa is which is impossible.

The least is known about The Void than any of the other

patrons, which seems impossible considering the Eldritch

Remnants, but at least things are sometimes comprehensible

through the gibbering madness of those that chose to study

them. The Void however, has few that have had any

interactions with it and survived to tell the tale. Those that do

survive only speak of a soul crushing black abyss that seeks

to envelop all that is into itself. Though some of the Warlocks

that make their pacts with the Void follow these ideals, others

just thirst for powers. For some it is unknown why The Void

gave them these powers, other than that the Void may be

seeking to further its horrific and mysterious goals.

Class Features

Hit Points

Hit Dice: 1d6 per Warlock level

choice
(a) a component pouch or (b) an arcane focus
(a) a scholar’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack
Otherworldly Patron
At 1st level, you have struck a bargain with an otherworldly
Your arcane research and the magic bestowed on you by your
patron have given you facility with spells.
Spellcasting
Drawing arcane power from your pact, you can cast spells
that reflect the essence of your otherworldly patron. See
chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting
and chapter 5 of this document for the Warlock spell list.
Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the Warlock spell
list. You learn additional Warlock cantrips of your choice at
higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the
Warlock table.

CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
50
 Spell Slots
The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have. The
table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your
spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your Warlock
spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long
rest. For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-
level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell thunderwave, you
must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level
spell.
Spells Known of 1st level and higher
At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from
the Warlock spell list. The Spells Known column on the
Warlock table shows when you learn more Warlock spells of
your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must
be of a level no higher than what is shown in the table's Slot
Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for
example, you learn a new Warlock spell, which can be 1st,
2nd, or 3rd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this
class, you can choose one of the Warlock spells you know and
replace it with another spell from the Warlock spell list,
which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Warlock spells,
so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your
spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Warlock
spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your
Warlock spells.
Eldritch Invocations
At 2nd level, in your study of occult lore, you have unearthed
eldritch invocations, fragments of forbidden knowledge that
imbue you with an abiding magical ability. You gain two
eldritch invocations of your choice. Your invocation options
are detailed at the end of the class description. When you
gain certain Warlock levels, you gain additional invocations of
your choice, as shown in the invocations known column of
the Warlock table. Additionally, when you gain a level in this
class, you can choose one of the invocations you know and
replace it with another invocation that you could learn at that
level.
Pact Boon
At 3rd level, your otherworldly patron bestows a gift upon you
for your loyal service. You gain one of the following features
of your choice:
Pact of the Chain
You learn the Find Familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual.
The spell does not count against your number of spells
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
51
known. When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the
normal forms for your familiar or one of the following special
forms: imp, pseudodragon, sprite, or void ooze. Additionally,
when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your
own attacks to allow your familiar to make one attack of its
own.
Pact of the Armament
You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your
empty hand. You can choose the form that this weapon takes
each time you create it (a ranged weapon does not come with
ammo, you must have ammo for the weapon). You are
proficient with it while you wield it. This weapon counts as
magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and
immunity to non-magical attacks and damage. Your pact
weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for
1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature
again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if
you die. You can transform one magic weapon into your pact
weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the
weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour,
which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss
the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and
it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter.
You can not affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way.
The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you
perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use
a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears
at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the
bond breaks.
Pact of the Tome
Your patron gives you a grimoire. When you gain this feature,
choose three cantrips from any class’s spell list. While the
book is on your person, you can cast those cantrips at will.
They do not count against your number of cantrips known. If
you lose your grimoire, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony
to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony
can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys
the previous book. The book turns to ash when you die.
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 not increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Mystic Arcanum
At 11th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret
called an arcanum. Choose one 6th-level spell from the
Warlock spell list as this arcanum. You can cast your
arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must
finish a long rest before you can do so again. At higher levels,
you gain more Warlock spells of your choice that can be cast
in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th level, one 8th-level spell
at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain
all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
Black Magic
At 20th level, you can increase the power of your spells by
letting in more of your patron’s power and overcharging
yourself with your patron’s magical energy. When you use a
Warlock class feature or cast a Warlock spell that uses one of
your spell slots that deals damage, you can deal maximum
damage with it. The first time you do so, you suffer no
adverse effects. If you use this feature again before you finish
a long rest, you take 10d6 necrotic damage immediately after
using this feature. Each time you use this feature again
before finishing a long rest, the necrotic damage increases by
8d6. This damage ignores resistance and immunity.
Otherworldly Patron
A Warlock’s choice of patron is the first and most important
choice that they will make. Patrons are beings of great power
that will lend that power to those they see fit. This first choice
is so important because it defines the power the Warlock will
receive depending on the type of patron. Even among the
same kind of patron, the patron’s identity and expectations
are very important to how a Warlock will act.
Each patron is unique in their own way, despite how their
pacts often have similar effects with patrons of the same type.
Some patrons seek to further their own goals through
whatever means including living emissaries. Some are
unknowable and inscrutable, their true intentions hidden
from all views except those they find necessary to know.
There are those that are collectors; whether that be
knowledge, various arcane secrets, physical objects, or even
Warlocks themselves. There exist those that are not in these
categories and to go through them all would take far too long,
as patrons are as diverse as the Warlocks they employ.
The Devil
Deals with the infernal
Expanded Spell List
The Devil 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.
Devil Expanded Spells
Spell Level Spell
1st burning hands, command
2nd scorching ray, suggestion
3rd fireball, compulsion
4th fire shield, wall of fire
5th flame strike, hallow
Deal with the Devil
At 1st level, the deal with your devil has afforded you some
kind of exceptional ability. Choose a skill or tool of your
choice that you are not proficient in and you gain proficiency
in it, you then also choose a skill or tool (it can be the same
skill or tool this feature gave you proficiency in), your
proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make
with the skill or tool you have chosen.
Shrewd Minded
At 1st level, the pact with your devil makes it so being
charmed by other lesser beings is much harder. You gain
advantage on all saving throws made against being charmed.
Light Bearer
At 6th level, the pact you have made with your patron has
given you insight into better use of the tools your devil has
given you. When you use a spell that does fire or radiant
damage you may add your Charisma modifier to the damage
roll.
Fiendish Resilience
At 10th level, you can choose one damage type when you
finish a short or long rest. You gain resistance to that damage
type until you choose a different one with this feature.
Damage from magical weapons or silvered weapons ignores
this resistance.
Hurled Through Hell
At 14th level, when you hit a creature with an attack, you can
use this feature to instantly transport the target through the
lower planes. The creature disappears and hurtles through a
nightmare landscape. At the end of your next turn, the target
returns to the space it previously occupied, or the nearest
unoccupied space. If the target is not a fiend, it takes 10d10
psychic damage as it reels from its horrific experience. Once
you use this feature, you can not use it again until you finish a
short or long rest.
The Eldritch Remnant
Deals with ancient arcanum
Expanded Spell List
The Eldritch Remnant 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.
Eldritch Remnant Expanded Spells
Spell Level Spell
1st identify, magic missile
2nd levitate, magic mouth
3rd counterspell, dispel magic
4th arcane eye, dimension door
5th legend lore, telekinesis
Spell Recharge
At 1st level, your patron’s power overflows within you,
allowing you to regain use of your magic without even
resting. You regain a Warlock Spell Slot for every 8 - your
Charisma modifier hours since you have finished your last
short or long rest. If you already have your maximum number
of Warlock spell slots you can not regain a spell slot until one
has been used.
Arcane Aura
At 6th level, the magic that your patron has bestowed upon
has begun to seep out and is now creating a magical aura
around you. This aura allows you to always perceive magic
around you and cut down the magical defenses of those that
oppose you. Your Arcane Aura’s range has a 15 feet radius
and within that radius, all creatures have disadvantage on
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
52
 saving throws against your Warlock spells. Additionally, you
are always under the effects of detect magic within that 15
feet radius. The radius of your aura increases to 30 feet at
14th level.
Eldritch Vitality
At 10th level, you have learned to bolster your arcane
defenses immensely. As a bonus action, you can gain
resistance to all magical damage, but doing so leaves you
vulnerable to physical attacks. While you use this feature, you
have vulnerability to all non-magical bludgeoning, piercing,
and slashing damage. You can stop the use of this feature as a
bonus action.
Magical Discharge
At 14th level, you gain the ability to create a reactive magical
explosion when you are damaged by a spell. Whenever you
take magical damage, you can use your reaction to make
every creature within 30 feet of you make a Dexterity saving
throw against your Warlock spell save DC. On a success, a
creature takes damage equal to Warlock level + your
Charisma modifier, on a failure they take double that damage.
Once you use this feature you must finish a long rest before
you regain use of this feature.
The Loa
Deals with spirits
Expanded Spell List
The Loa 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.
Loa Expanded Spells
Spell Level Spell
1st hex, unseen servant
2nd blindness/deafness, hold person
3rd animate dead, speak with the dead
4th fabricate, polymorph
5th cloudkill, contagion
Luck of the Spirits
At 1st level, you can call on your patron to alter fate in your
favor. When you make an ability check, attack roll, or a saving
throw, you can use this feature to add 1d10 to your roll. You
can do so after seeing the initial roll but before any of the
roll’s results occur. Once you use this feature, you can not use
it again until you finish a long rest.
Voodoo Doll
At 6th level, you have learned how to imbue a doll with the
likeness and essence of another creature. As an action, you
can turn your voodoo doll into one that resembles a creature
that you can see within 60 feet, a creature you have met and
associated with for at least 30 minutes, or a creature you
have observed for at least 4 hours. The voodoo doll has hit
points equal to 4 times your Warlock level. While you have
the voodoo doll, you have advantage on attack rolls made
against that creature and advantage Wisdom (Perception)
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
53
checks involving that creature. The voodoo doll ceases to
function if it is farther than 1 mile from the target. You can
cast spells and attack the doll as if you were attacking the
creature you have targeted and any attack rolls or saving
throws for damaging spells the creature would make the doll
automatically fail. Non-damaging spells cast on the doll act as
if the spell was cast on the creature the doll was the target of.
Every time you damage the doll, the creature who it
resembles makes a Constitution Saving Throw and on a
failure they take full damage done to the doll, on a success
they take half the damage done. The doll dissipates when its
hit points drop to 0 and any excess damage is not carried
over.
Hoodoo, Heals, and Hexes
At 10th level, after you finish a long rest, you can take a short
amount of time to construct hoodoo bags that you can
expend and utilize for a number of functions. You can
construct a number of bags equal to your Charisma modifier.
As an action, you can use a hoodoo bag to cast the
Nondetection spell without expending a spell slot, you may
cast Bestow Curse without expending a spell slot, or you can
heal a creature of your choice within touch range for 3d6 plus
your Charisma modifier. As a bonus action, you may cast Hex
as a 3rd level spell without expending a spell slot.
Friends from the Other Side
At 14th level, you have found a way to bring forth some of the
friends you have made on the ethereal plane. As a bonus
action, you can summon a number of spirits. You have 20
points to select a number of spirits to summon that equal to
or less than the number of points you have.
Zombies and Skeletons = 1 point
Shadows = 2 points
Specters and Ghouls = 4 points
Will-o’-Wisps and Ghasts = 8 points
Wights = 12 points
Ghosts = 16 points
Wraiths = 20 points.
On your turn you can use your action to command the
spirits you summon. The spirits last for 10 minutes, or until
their hit points drop to 0, after which point they disappear.
Once you use this feature, you can not use this feature again
until you finish a short or long rest.
The Void
Deals with the unknown
Expanded Spell List
The Void 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.
Void Expanded Spells
Spell Level Spell
1st inflict wounds, sleep
2nd darkness, silence
3rd fear, hunger of hadar
4th banishment, o.’s resilient sphere
5th antilife shell, wall of force
Bleak Emptiness
At 1st level, you can plunge a creature into an illusory realm.
As an action, choose a creature that you can see within 60
feet of you. It must make a Wisdom saving throw against your
Warlock spell save DC. On a failed save, it is frightened by
you for 1 minute or until your concentration is broken (as if
you are concentrating on a spell). This effect ends early if the
creature takes any damage. Until this illusion ends, the
creature thinks it is lost in the dark emptiness of the void
which you can detail to your choosing. The creature can see
and hear only itself, you, and the illusion. You must finish a
long rest before you can use this feature again.
Crushing Aura
At 6th level, you gain the ability to crush and stun your foes
with the aura of the void as an action. When you take this
action, each creature within 10 feet of you must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your
next turn. This effect also ends if the creature takes damage.
Crushing Force
At 10th level, you have learned how to add the crushing force
of the void to your spells. When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage
die for a spell you cast that deals force damage, you can reroll
the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or
a 2.
One with the Void
At 14th level you gain the ability to transform yourself into a
shadow form as a bonus action. In this form, you have
resistance to all damage and immunity to force damage, and
you can move through other creatures and objects as if they
were difficult terrain. You take 5 force damage (ignoring any
immunity) if you end your turn inside an object. You remain
in this form for 1 minute or until your concentration is
broken (as if you are concentrating on a spell). You can not
use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
Eldritch Invocations
If an eldritch invocation has prerequisites, you must meet
them to learn it. You can learn the invocation at the same
time that you meet its prerequisites.
Advanced Secrets
Prerequisite: 11th level, Pact of the Tome feature
prerequisite: 7th level
You learn a 3rd level spell from any spell list of your choice,
you can cast this spell as a Warlock spell without expending a
spell slot. When you cast this spell you must finish a long rest
before you can use this spell again. This spell does not count
against the Warlock spells you know.
Agonizing Blast
Prerequisite: Eldritch Blast cantrip
Eldritch Spear
When you cast Eldritch Blast, add your Charisma modifier to
the damage it deals on a hit.
Armor of Shadows
You can cast Mage Armor on yourself at will, without
expending a spell slot or material components.

Those that follow the path of the Wielder are warriors in

the most traditional sense. They cling to weapons and

techniques of the old way even as time marches on around

them. This does not mean that you should discount them just

because their way of fighting may seem outdated because a

Wielder's true strength is often not as straightforward as it

would seem and they can prove quite effective even on today’s
battlefields. This is because, though they seem simple at first,
they exhibit true skill and mastery over their chosen areas as
well as a stalwart resilience that carries them through even
the most adverse situations. Not only that, but the bond they
form with their weapon of choice is not something you see in
the warriors of today. One thing is for sure, no matter what
kind of Wielder you are facing, whether it is a Brute, Knight,
or a Samurai, they are sure to give a true challenge and show
what battle really means. As for what battle will consist of
that depends on which path the given Wielder walks.
The Knight is a chosen defender, a vanguard that will
protect all those that they deem worthy of being defended.
They are immovable objects that will face any foe without
falter and dispatch any that would become obstacles in the
path that they have chosen. These warriors represent not
only an unyielding defense but also respectable offense that
nobody would dare scoff at for risk of wounding their pride
and honor, and drawing their ire.
If the Knight is the Immovable then the Brute is the
unstoppable force. These warriors storm into battle with very
little concern, because they know that no foe could wound
them enough to keep them away from a proper battle. With
mighty swings and their ability to shrug off even the hardiest
of blows, the Brute will certainly show why you should fear
facing them and be thankful if they are on your side. If you
ever do get the chance to see a Brute in battle you will surely
realize that their name comes from the true brutality they are
willing to inflict in a battle.

CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
57
The Samurai is a mighty warrior, the same as the others,
though their real power does not come from sheer strength
like many wielders, but from the unnatural agility that flows
through them and allows them to pull off unbelievable feats
with their weaponry. In fact, the feats they perform with their
weapon seem so unbelievable, others think it is just legend
when they hear a samurai was able to stop bullets with their
sword or even launch an attack without even touching an
opponent with his weapon. A Samurai should never be
underestimated, even if they are not as physically imposing as
the Knight or Brute.

Dueling

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.
Protection
When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you
that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to
impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding
a shield.
Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your
ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Wielder Archetype
At 1st level, you choose an archetype that you strive to
emulate in your combat styles and techniques. Choose from
Brute, Knight, Samurai, or Spellsword all detailed at the end
of the class description. The archetype you choose grants you
features at 1st level and again at 3rd, 9th, 15th, and 20th
Challenge
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to issue a challenge to a
creature that you are already in combat with so that the fight
becomes more about a personal battle between the two of
you gain advantage on all attack rolls against the challenged
enemy, and you can add 1d6 damage to your rolls of the same
type of damage that your weapon deals. You and the
challenged creature have disadvantage on attack rolls made
against any creature other than each other, the challenge
ends when the challenged enemy’s hit points drop to 0, when
you finish a short or long rest, or when you end the challenge
as a bonus action, by verbally declaring an end to your
challenge. Once you use this feature, you can not use it again
until you finish a short or long rest. At 17th level, the damage
die increases from 1d6 to 1d8.

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 not increase an ability
score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
At 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever
you take the Attack action on your turn. The number of
attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this
class and to four when you reach 18th leveI in this class.
Indomitable
At 7th level, you can reroll a saving throw that you fail. If you
do so, you must use the new roll, and you can not use this
feature again until you finish a long rest. You can use this
feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and
three times between long rests starting at 17th level.
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
58
 Favored Weapon
At 10th level, as a Wielder you have grown an affinity for one
particular type of weapon, and as such you have learned how
to use that weapon more efficiently than the other weapons
in your arsenal. Pick a weapon you are proficient in (such as
longsword, shortsword, halberd, etc.), while you wield that
kind of weapon you have advantage on rolls against being
disarmed from it and attack rolls made with that weapon are
a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
Wielder Archetype
A Wielder can express themselves through three classic
expressions of their wielder archetype: the Brute, the Knight,
and the Samurai.
Brute
Stubborn and strong
Brute Strength
At 1st level, your might is already considerable and you can
lift and break things that many normal people would not be
able to. Your carrying capacity (including maximum load and
maximum lift) is doubled, and you have advantage on
Strength checks made to push, pull, lift, or break objects.
Savage Reaction
At 3rd level, you have learned how to change targets
incredibly quickly after dispatching the one you had been
focusing on. When you drop an enemy’s hit points to 0, you
can use your reaction to immediately move up to your speed
towards an enemy and make a melee weapon attack against
an enemy within range.
Fierce Grasp
At 9th level, you can wield a two handed weapon in one hand
as long as you are not wielding a weapon in your other hand
and you can use two weapon fighting even if the weapons you
are using do not have the light property.
Unbreakable
At 15th level, you have learned how to brace yourself properly
for incoming damage. When you take damage you can
instead choose to reduce the amount of damage you take by
half. Once you use this feature you can not use it again until
you finish a short rest or long rest.
Brutality
At 20th level, you can truly start dealing out true brutality to
your enemies. You can roll one additional weapon damage
die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with
a melee attack. Additionally once per turn, when you
successfully make a melee weapon attack you can choose to
maximize your damage roll. Once you use this feature you
can not use it again until you finish a short or long rest or
until you score a critical hit.
Knight
Devoted and defensive
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
59
Aegis at the Ready
At 1st level, you can don and doff your shield as a bonus
action, instead of an action.
Vanguard
At 3rd level, you always stand at-the-ready to attack enemies
and strike them down when they come too close to you and
your allies. Creatures provoke opportunity attacks from you
even if they use the disengage action and when an enemy
moves within your reach you can use your reaction to make
an attack against them.
Mounted Combatant
At 9th level, you have learned how to battle on your mount
much more effectively. If your mount is subjected to an effect
that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only
half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the
saving throw, and only half damage if it fails. Additionally, if
an enemy makes an attack roll against your mount, you can
instead use your reaction to make that attack target you (it
must still meet or exceed your AC to hit), and if it does hit you
can halve the attack's damage.
Survivor
At 15th level, you attain the pinnacle of resilience in battle. At
the start of each of your turns, you regain hit points equal to 5
+ your Constitution modifier if your hit points are less than or
equal to half of your hit point total. You do not gain this
benefit if you have 0 hit points.
Defender
At 20th level, you have mastered the art of reacting to
everything happening on the battlefield. You can use your
reaction during a round even if you have already used a
reaction that round, however you may not use more than one
reaction per turn. Additionally, if an enemy makes an attack
against anyone other than you while they are within 5 feet of
you, you can use your reaction to make an attack against
them.
Samurai
Nimble and nocent
Samurai’s Finesse
While using a weapon that you are proficient in you can treat
that weapon as if it had the finesse property.
Agile Maneuverability
At 1st level, you are able to move much more efficiently in
armor thanks to your training. You can add half of your
proficiency score to Dexterity saving throws you make.
Additionally, when you wear medium armor, you can add a
maximum of 3, rather than 2, to your AC if you have a
Dexterity of 16 or higher. When you are wearing light armor,
you have advantage on Acrobatics ability checks.
Step Like the Wind
At 3rd level, you have learned how to move more quickly in
combat the less armor you are wearing. While not wearing
heavy armor or using a shield, you can use the Disengage
action as a bonus action, and while not while not wearing
heavy armor, medium armor, or using a shield you can use
the Dash action as bonus action.
Deflect Missiles
At 9th level, you have learned to harness your almost
inhuman reaction speed to stop enemy ranged attacks. When
your enemy makes a ranged weapon attack you can use your
reaction to prevent an amount of damage that would be done
to you by ranged weapon attacks equal to 1d10 + your
Wielder level.
Crescent Strike
At 15th level, you can use your weapon to produce an attack
that hits enemies even if they are not in melee range. As an
action, you can use your melee weapon to slash in front of
you dealing damage in a 15 feet cone (20 feet if your weapon
has the reach property) and all creatures in that cone must
make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency
bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier, your choice). On
a failure, they take 2d10 plus your Strength or Dexterity
modifier (your choice) of slashing damage, half as much on a
success.
Soul of Steel
At 20th level, you have come to understand your weapon so
well you can feel its spirit. Any weapons on your person can
not be broken by non-magical means, and all weapon attacks
you make with weapons you are proficient with count as
magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and
immunity to non-magical attacks and damage. You can now
also draw out your weapon’s spirit to aid you in combat.
When you call out your weapon’s spirit, for the next 1 minute
when you make a successful attack with your weapon,
instead of rolling the weapon’s damage, you instead inflict the
maximum amount of damage the weapon can do. You regain
this feature when you finish a long rest.

Zealots are servants of the divine, possessing a sense of duty
to the deity that they worship. Followers, like clergies,
temples, and common folk, are what gives deities their power
and influence. Zealots are recipients of minute portions of
their deity’s power. But unlike Warlocks, a Zealot’s power is
granted through an oath of devotion to their deity, rather than
an exchange. They are enforcers of their deity’s will, but still
maintain the agency to make their own values and
judgements. Zealots often have personal reasonings for their
devotion to their deity and have their own goals which align
with their deity’s values. A Zealot’s style of spellcasting and
combat fall within four domains: the Combat Domain, the
Life Domain, the Radiance Domain, and the Sky Domain.
Zealots of the Combat Domain are champions of battle.
They incorporate divine spellcasting as well as martial
prowess into their fighting style. Combat Domain Zealots use
their deity’s influence in order to enhance their combative
ability. They have access to spells specific to their domain
which serve to protect themselves and their allies as well as
to destroy their enemies. Combat Domain Zealots are the
soldiers of their deity and are willing to die for their cause.
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
61
Zealots of the Life Domain focus more on healing than
combat. Their style of spellcasting enhances their healing
abilities, allowing them access to spells specific to their
domain of zealotry. Life Domain Zealots also carry a warding
aura which protects themselves and their allies from the
damaging effects of other spells. They also possess a well of
healing magic which is separate from their spells which they
can mend an amount of allies within their immediate vicinity.
Zealots of the Radiance Domain are a representation of all
things that bring light. Their style of spellcasting incorporates
fire, heat, flares, radiancy and all else that shines. Radiance
Domain Zealots have access to spells specific to their domain
which illuminate their enemies in order to stun and aust
them. Wherever they go, they are always the brightest thing
in the room, be it literally or metaphorically. Radiance
Domain Zealots are mortal enemies of darkness in all
aspects.
Zealots of the Sky Domain are the bringers of storms. They
incorporate elements such as lightning, thunder, ice, wind,
and water into their spellcasting style. Sky Domain Zealots
have access to spells specific to their domain which bring
upon torrents of the sky.
 They are able to channel these elements into their attacks

and spells in order to maximize their impact. Storms bring

comfort rather than fear to Sky Domain Zealots.

Class Features

As a Zealot, you gain the following class features.

Hit Points

Hit Dice: 1d8 per Zealot level

Hit Points at 1st level: 8 + your Constitution modifier

Hit Points at higher level: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution

modifier per Zealot level after 1st

Proficiencies

Armor: light armor, medium armor, shields

Weapons: all simple weapons, war hammer, and maul

Tools: none

Saving Throws: wisdom, charisma

Skills: choose two from acrobatics, athletics, history, insight,

medicine, persuasion, and religion

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the

equipment granted by your background:

(a) a simple weapon or (b) a war hammer

(a) a lightweight padded vest or (b) a crude padded vest

(a) any other simple weapon or (b) a shield

(a) a priest’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack

a holy symbol

Spellcasting

As a conduit for divine power, you can cast Zealot spells. See

chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting

and chapter 5 of this document for the Zealot spell list.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the

Zealot spell list. You learn additional Zealot cantrips of your

choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips

Known

column of the Zealot table.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Zealot table shows how many spell slots you have to cast

your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells,

you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You

regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of Zealot spells that are available for you

to cast, choosing from the Zealot spell list. When you do so,

choose a number of Zealot spells equal to your Charisma

modifier + your Zealot level (minimum of one spell). The

spells must be of a leveI for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level Zealot, you have four

1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 16,
your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd
level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell
cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level
slot. Casting the spell does not remove it from your list of
prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells
when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Zealot
spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1
minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Zealot spells.
The power of your spells comes from your devotion to your
deity. You use your Charisma whenever a Zealot spell refers
to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your
Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a
Zealot spell you cast and when making an attack roll with
one.
CHAPTER 2 | CLASSES
62
 Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier
Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a Zealot spell as a ritual if that spell has the
ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your
Zealot spells.
Divine Domain
At 1st level, you choose one domain related to your god:
Combat, Life, Radiance, Sky. Each domain is detailed at the
end of the class description. Your choice grants you domain
spells and other features when you choose it at 1st level. It
also grants you additional ways to use Channel Divinity when
you gain that feature at 2nd level, and additional benefits at
6th, 8th, and 17th level.
Domain Spells
Each domain has a list of domain spells that you gain at the
Zealot level noted in the domain description. Once you gain a
domain spell, you always have it prepared, and it does not
count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.
If you have a domain spell that does not appear on the Zealot
spell list, the spell is nonetheless a Zealot spell for you.
Channel Divinity
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to channel divine energy
directly from your god, using that energy to fuel magical
effects. You start with two such effects: Turn the Unholy and
an effect determined by your domain. Some domains grant
you additional effects as you advance in level, as noted in the
domain description. When you use your Channel Divinity, you
choose which effect to create.
You must then finish a short or long rest to use your
Channel Divinity again. Some Channel Divinity effects
require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this
class, the DC equals your Zealot spell save DC. At 6th level,
you can use your Channel Divinity twice between rests, and
at 18th level, you can use it three times between rests. When
you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended
uses.
Channel Divinity: Turn the Unholy
As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a
prayer censuring fiends and undead, using your Channel
Divinity. Each fiend or undead that can see or hear you within
30 feet of you must make a Charisma saving throw. If the
creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or
until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns
trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can not
willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can not
take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action
or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If
there is nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge
action.

Divine Smite
At 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon
attack, you can expend one Zealot spell slot to deal radiant
damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage.
The extra damage is 1d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for
each spell level higher than 1st. The damage increases by
1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend.
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 not increase an ability score above 20

Extra Attack
At 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever
you take the Attack action on your turn.
Divine Intervention
At 10th level, you can call on your god to intervene on your
behalf when your need is great. Imploring your deity's aid
requires you to use your action. Describe the assistance you
seek, and roll percentile dice. If you roll a number equal to or
lower than your Zealot level, your deity intervenes. The DM
chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any
Zealot spell or Zealot domain spell would be appropriate. lf
your deity intervenes, you can not use this feature again for 7
days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a long
rest. At 20th level, your call for intervention succeeds
automatically, no roll required.
Purity of Body
At 14th level, your body has been in contact with holy energy
for such a prolonged period of times it starts that you have
absorbed enough to make yourself grow resilient and
resistant to tools that evil doers would often use against you.
You gain immunity to diseases and curses, as well as
resistance to poison damage, and you have advantage on
saving throws against being poisoned.
Divine Domain
A Zealot serves their god with fervor and passion the likes of
which normal people could only imagine. Though the life of
zealotry is very similar for all of those who chose it, whether
they see each other as siblings, comrades in arms, rivals, or
even enemies depends on the gods that they worship. Zealots
have different ways of expressing the powers given to them
by divine providence that represent the aspects of life their
gods generally have control over. For many gods, their control
is very broad. The four divine domains are those usually
associated with most gods.

At 8th level, you are so infused with incandescent energy
from your god that all your melee weapon strikes carry divine
power with them. Whenever you hit a creature with a melee
weapon, the creature takes an extra 1d8 radiant damage. lf

pillar sheds bright light in a 120 feet radius and dim light for
another 120 feet after that. Allies that are within the radius of
the dim light can add your Charisma modifier to their attack
rolls. Allies within the radius of the bright light gain this
effect, and can also add your Charisma modifier to their

Seasoned Bodies
The appearance and physical proportions of an Afflicted are
largely reliant on their ancestry. The Afflicted are not a race
of people as much as they are a group of peoples which suffer
from the same syndrome. As such, all Afflicted have leathery,
dense skin. For them, growing hair is difficult, often
impossible. Instead, they sometimes participate in a practice
known as decorative branding, in which they seer their
weathered skin into decorative patterns, similar to tattooing.
Living Beyond Toxicity
Afflicted who move away from the toxic regions their people
call home often struggle with the complexities of societal and
geographical politics. Most are entirely naive to societies
which are composed of people from diverse backgrounds.
From the opposite perspective, most people are entirely
unfamiliar with societies and people which come from these
radioactive regions.

The Afflicted follow normal naming traditions shared by most
other intelligent humanoid races.

Anomlian
Anomlians are parasitic creatures from a dimension known
simply as 'the Void.' In their truest form they are gelatinous
purple and black blobs. But they are rarely in this form as
they leech from other organisms for sustenance. When
Anomlians find a host, they enter their being and override
their nervous system, assuming complete control over their
mind and body through charismatic force. How these beings
escaped to the material plane is unknown. They have no true
purpose other than to survive.
Of The Void
The Void is a dimension of pure chaos. Matter is in a
constant state of being created and destroyed. It is a desolate
landscape of darkness with the geography consisting of
blacks and purples. Mountains and hills flow like oceans,
gravity is in a constant state of changing direction and
intensity, and miniature black holes form randomly across its
boundaries. Even the fiercest creatures struggle to survive.
Playing Host
In the material plane, Anomlians prefer to host intelligent
humanoids, though that is not always the case. Beyond the
Void, Anomlians can only survive for about an hour outside of
the atmosphere of a host, lest they dry up and die. Once they
find a host, they can not leave them until the host dies due to
the way in which they overlap their host's brain.
Anomlians assimilate their host's knowledge with their
own, building a library of resources not only of their host's
world, but also of the host's previous life. Anomlians are likely
to abandon the social life of a fresh host in pursuit of their
own goals, but sometimes they continue their host's life as if
nothing happened.
Anomlian Names
Anomlians are inherently nameless, being born through
random surges of energy and creation in the Void. In the
material plane, Anomlians will often adopt the original name
of their host, or make a new one.
Anomlian Traits
Your Anomlian character has certain characteristics in
common with all other Anomlians
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by
2.
Age. The life expectancy of an Anomlian is largely
unknown. This is because they can only live independently in
the Void, which has a tendency create and destroy
spontaneously. In a vacuum, Anomlians live less than 10
years. However, assuming hosts increases the lifespan of
Anomlians tenfold.
Alignment. The unpredictable nature of the Void often
leads Anomlians to have a chaotic alignment.
Size. Anomlians assume the size of their host creatures.
Speed. Your base walking speed is the same as the host,
30 feet if the host is Medium, 25 if they are Small.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim
light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
CHAPTER 3 | RACES
67
Hosting. As an Anomlian, you assume the mind and body
of an intelligent humanoid. If your host's body were to die, you
would be forced out of their body, as their post-mortem
neurochemicals would begin to spread to your being. If you
were not to find another host within an hour, or half an hour
in extreme conditions, you would also die. In order to
assimilate a new host, you must succeed on a DC 20
Charisma skill check. You can only attempt to assimilate to
any single individual once. While not currently attached to a
host, your Hit Point total is equal to your total number of
class levels. If you are reduced to 0 Hit Points you do not
make death saving throws, you die. While without a host, you
can not speak or conduct any actions beside attempting to
assimilate a new host.
Void Sense. You can sense any creature that also has Void
Sense within 60 feet of you and you know the location of that
creature. You can also communicate telepathically with them
even if they are incapable of speech normally.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and
one other language of your choice.
Subraces. Anomlians gain certain advantages based on
the region of the brain in which their core inhabits: Basis in
the Frontal Lobe, Basis in the Occipital Lobe, and Basis in
the Sensory Motor Cortex.
Basis in the Frontal Lobe
The Frontal Lobe is the region of the brain responsible for
logic, reasoning, and personality.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases

Personality Overlap. You are able to perfectly mimic the
personality, speech, and thought process of the individual
which is hosting you.
Divergent Thinking. When performing a skill check which
uses Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma, you are able to
make two checks simultaneously. For example, if you are
attempting to persuade an individual to follow you down an
alley, you may make a Charisma (Persuasion) check to
convince them and a Wisdom (Insight) check to see how
anxious they are simultaneously. These skill checks consume
the same amount of time as a single skill check normally
would.
Basis in the Occipital Lobe
The Occipital Lobe is the region of the brain responsible for
vision and perception.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by
1.
Keen Vision. You have advantage on any Wisdom
(Perception) checks reliant on sight.

Couatlborn
Couatlborn are snake-like humanoids which were crafted,
rather than emerging as a product of evolution. They have
scaled skin which is usually composed of some combination
of white, green, orange, and pink. They have short reptilian
faces and serpent-like tails. Couatlborn are sometimes
capable of growing feathers along their head and arms which
can be styled. They have four-fingered hands (including
thumbs) with small claw-like fingertips and pawed, dinosaur-
like feet. Couatlborn reproduce through egg-laying, like
snakes and birds.
Derivatively Crafted
The Couatlborn are a race of people which were created by
ancient Couatl as servants, or slaves. Couatl originally used
early human worshipers, who believed them to be gods, as
servants. But as humans evolved from living in caves, they
began to doubt the divinity of these giant serpents. As such,
humans moved beyond the lands in which these Couatl
inhabited and formed their own religions. The Couatl were
left without followers to serve them. Eventually, they grew
desperate enough to start experimenting with their own eggs.
Through the innate arcane adaptivity granted by their
celestial ancestry, the Couatl manipulated their eggs into
producing smaller, more human-like, versions of themselves.
After more experimenting, the Couatl were able to produce
these Couatlborn in such a way that they were able to
reproduce themselves and no longer had to be birthed from
the Couatl's own eggs.
A Strong Sense of Clan
Like most divine, or at least demi-divine, creatures, Couatl
source their power from the devotion and faith of their
followers. As such, Couatl have institutionally created a sense
of community and "one-ness" within their congregation. To
Couatlborn, being a worshiper of your patron Couatl and
serving them is your life's work. Service of your god is the
sacrifice which will guarantee the ascendance of your soul. To
denounce your clan is to denounce god. Your clan is your
family and you are all united under your Couatl god.
Beyond a Life of Service
Some Couatlborn are able to escape the cult of their patron
Couatl god. This apostasy is no easy feat as it often involves
the complete abandonment of their entire lives, every single
family member they have ever had. Sometimes those who
escape these cults have a hard time adjusting to life outside
of it, having to remind themselves that they do not have to
save their money in order to make an offering, or that most
people's families are not composed of hundreds of
individuals.
Couatlborn Names
Couatlborn's first names are derived from names given to
their ancestors, who were originally created to serve Couatl
demi-gods. Their surnames are often simply the name of
whatever ancient Couatl demi-god their family once served.
Androgynous Names: Ka'lix, Ikli, Ip'tal, Otl, Tepu

Couatlborn Traits
Your Couatlborn character has certain characteristics in
common with all other Couatlborn
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by
2.
Age. Like their Couatl ancestors, Couatlborn are slow to
mature. It takes the average Couatlborn about 30 years to
reach full maturity. Because they are only about 2 feet long
when they are hatched, they must spend decades shedding
their skin in order to reach their full height. Couatlborn
experience puberty around their mid-20's, during which they
experience a growth spurt which brings them from 3-5 feet
tall to 6-8 feet tall. Couatlborn can live up to 300 years and
are not considered elderly until their final few decades.
Alignment. The moral alignment of a Couatlborn is largely
determined by their upbringing. Those who serve benevolent
Couatl are often good. Those who serve malevolent ones, evil.
Those who are removed from their clan often shift their
alignment to one that opposes their Couatl demi-god.
Regardless, Couatlborn are almost always lawful, being
institutionally raised to be strict believers in rules and laws.
Size. Couatlborn are between 6 and 8 feet tall and average
about 200 pounds. Your size is Medium. Couatlborn younger
than 20 years old range between 3 and 5 feet tall and are
considered Small.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim
light. You can not discern color in darkness, only shades of
gray.
Innate Spellcasting. Your Couatl ancestry has granted
your bloodline a faint magical essence. As such, once per
long rest you can cast one of the following spells 'at will':
Detect Good and Evil, Detect Magic, Thaumaturgy.
Inherent Shapeshifter. Couatl are known for their
notorious ability to shapeshift, their Couatlborn descendants
also receive a rudimentary ability to change their shape. Once
per long rest, you may shapeshift which follows the same
boundaries as the Disguise Self spell. However, your shape-
shifting can only affect yourself, not any items, clothing, or
equipment you are carrying. But the way in which you
shapeshift is not illusory. For example, if you were to
shapeshift into a human with long hair, the hair would be real
and tangible, even if you do not have any hair in your true
form.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and
Sylvan. As a method of acknowledging their fey ancestry,
Couatlborn often teach their children Sylvan. Couatlborn are
often driven by their connection to the fey.
Subraces. Couatlborn are separated into two categories
based on the dominant traits of which they inherited from
their Couatl ancestors: Inheritors of Might and Inheritors of
Mind.
Inheritor of Might
Inheritors of Might benefit from receiving a portion of the
fortitude of their Couatl ancestry.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by
1.
Nocere Tail. You may use your tail as an unarmed weapon
attack. You are proficient in this attack and use your Strength
modifier. Your tail attack deals 1d4 + your Strength modifier
damage. Alternatively, you may use your tail for the purposes
of Grappling a target.
Arcane-Resistant Scales. Once per long rest, if you fail a
saving throw against a magical effect, you may choose to
reroll. You must use the new roll.
Inheritor of Mind
Inheritors of Mind benefit from receiving a portion of the
mental potency of their Couatl ancestry.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases
by 1.
Limited Telepathy. You inherit a form of limited telepathy,
which is much more powerful for your Couatl ancestors as it
is their primary method of communication. You may
telepathically communicate words, sounds, and images to
any creature that you can touch. You must be touching the
target in order to communicate and the target cannot
respond.
Shielded Mind. Your mind has been shaped from a
creature that is immune to magical prying. You have
advantage on any saving throws related to magical effects

Extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrials are descended from a race of people who
visited the prime material plane from another, more
technologically developed, material plane. These people
made their home in the floating ship which they arrived in.
That was until the large mothership malfunctioned and
forced the visitors to crash land. Amongst the early intelligent
races, they were forced by circumstance into working with
them in order to ensure their survival in the unfamiliar
landscape. Now, though the knowledge that their race
originates from another plane is commonplace, the
Extraterrestrials reside with the other intelligent life in
tandem.
Strange Beings of Another Plane
While they are still humanoid shaped, Extraterrestrials carry
some distinct features which makes their alienness to the
prime material plane obvious. Their cranium is completely
round and is larger than the average humanoid. They have
black, shiny almond shaped eyes which are about twice as
large as other humanoids, their noses are tiny slits. Their
skin is slick and silky. Also, they are generally much thinner
than the average humanoid.
Intellectually Superior
Extraterrestrials' brains are much more dense and complex
than other humanoid races. Because of this, they are
inherently better suited for strenuous mental challenges.
They are also quicker to understand things that they are
unfamiliar with, which is partly the reason that they were
able to survive on this foreign plane.
Race Names
Extraterrestrials often continue to use the traditional names
of their ancestors, but sometimes they adopt names more
akin to their new home.
Traditional Names: Abvass, Barlo, Dokan, Ee'jak, Gwob,
Lo'sal, Mymo, Taknol, Vulber, Werb, Yakloh

primary senses overlap and meld into one another. You may
experience senses from parts of your body not normally
associated with that sense, you must put forth conscious
mental effort in order to do so. For example, you may place
your finger against a door and be able to listen through it or
you may place your elbow in a bowl of soup and be able to
taste it.

After the distinction between Rougaru and Werewolves

people often exploit Rougarus’ societal standings for their

Rougaru for drastically unfair wages, as well as other forms
of exploitative labor practices.
Rougaru Names
Current Rougaru naming conventions are based on a
combination of Rougaru tradition, which is based on their
flowy yet guttural native tongue, and Common names.

brown, ginger, blond, grey, or white.
Solitary Lifestyle
Most Sasquatches live alone, away from any other kind of
intelligent life. They prefer to be amongst the wildlife native
to their homeland. Sasquatches often make companions of
wolves, deer, bears, eagles, hawks, badgers, and squirrels.
They eat omnivorously but generally prefer to eat vegetation
when available.
Because of their lonely and mysterious existence, locals
are often fearful of Sasquatches as they do not know much
about them. This does not bother Sasquatches, as they do not
quite care for other people, or what they think.
A Rarity, of Sorts
Because of their solitary lifestyles, Sasquatches often have
difficulty finding compatible mates. As such, the population of
Sasquatches is drastically low. Compared to other intelligent
humanoid races, the Sasquatch's drive for reproduction is
outstandingly low in their hierarchical needs. They seem to
have very little evolutionary motivation to find romantic
partners or have children.

Sasquatch names are often limited to one syllable and they
usually do not use surnames.

Lifelong Limitations
Sayres have a relatively short lifespan when compared to
other intelligent humanoid races. Due to the nature of their
creation and the environmental factors which challenged
early Sayres, they live relatively short lives in the current era.
However, Sayres have adapted to this socially, placing more
importance on the impact of actions taken which will live
beyond a Sayre's life over smaller short-term goals.

Due to their short lifespans and their emphasis on living
beyond their own lives, Sayre use their familial surnames as

Backgrounds
While adventurers usually come into this world the same way
as everyone else, that is not often when their story begins.
Most adventurers have seen a bit of life before things began
to get interesting. They often had a home, a job, and maybe
some family. Backgrounds serve to encompass your
character’s experiences before their first real adventure
began. While Backgrounds do not represent everything that
has made your adventurer who they are, they do represent
where they have learned their most valuable lessons.

Feature: Basic Training
You have spent some time as a member of some militant
organization. Before you were assigned your role in this
organization, you had been required to partake in a basic
training course. In this course you learned how to properly
fight as well as basic survival skills. You are knowledgeable of
basic warfare tactics as well as military codes. You have a
rapport with other members of your organization or of other
allying organizations.
City Folk
Not everyone was eager enough to make the primary venture
into the wastelands, whether it be due to fear or smarts. City
Folk allowed the eager to test the metaphysical waters before
making the reach themselves. They are new in town and are
not exactly accustomed to a new style of living. Though this

Equipment: a small knife, a map of the city you grew up in, a
token to remember your home by, a set of common clothes,
and a belt pouch containing 10 gp
Feature: Life of a Different Tempo
City life is much more fast-paced when compared to the long
days of the countryside. There are always things to do and
people to see. You are experienced in the ebb and flow of
living in a city. You understand how and when you can talk to
a city dweller, and the questions that you should ask. You
understand that you should not waste their time or ask
anything that takes more than a single breath to answer.
When speaking with residents of cities or large villages for
the purposes of obtaining information, these residents are
much more likely to give you useful intelligence.
Deacon
Somewhere between a devoted follower and a priest, these
people have found it necessary to seek religion as their
driving force in life. Their thoughts and actions are often
dependent on their beliefs both morally and religiously.
Deacons tend to be less violent, but there is room for
others, others will keep it to themselves.
Equipment: a holy symbol (a gift to you when you entered
your religion), a prayer book or prayer wheel, 5 sticks of
incense, vestments, a set of common clothes, and a belt
pouch containing 15 gp
Language: one of your choice.
Feature: Pay It Forward
As a deacon, you have spent a large portion of your life in
service of your deity and their followers. You find
companionship in the common followers of your deity, even if
you have never met them before. Your position as a deacon
gives you a level of religious authority somewhere between a
devoted follower and a priest. You can often ask or recieve
favors from fellow followers in exchange for blessings and
services. Followers see these favors as providing a service to
your deity and thus earning their favor.
Entrepreneur
It’s hard to make it out in the wastelands, many folk make
their living from meat and harvest, but not the Entrepreneur.
The Entrepreneur has something, or in some cases had
something, that folk were willing, or not so willing, to
purchase. From local gun runners to big time oil drillers, the

Feature: Art of the Deal
You have a greater understanding of price, supply, and
demand when compared to more common folk. Because of
this understanding, you are always eager to take (or make) a
good deal when given the opportunity. You have insight into
the reasonings behind economic decisions that people make.
When making a deal (monetary or otherwise), you are able to
spot any loopholes or consequences that the deal may cause
you.

instrument or gaming set you are proficient with, maps of
places you have been and places you plan to go, a small piece
of jewelry worth 10 gp in an odd style of craftsmanship, and a
pouch containing 5 gp
Feature: Explorer’s Intuition
As an Explorer, you have made your living from discovering
things that have either been forgotten or never been seen
before. You have spent some time adventuring, but you have
spent longer studying in preparation. Your experience and
depth of knowledge has given you the ability to ascertain the
nature of an unknown artifact or anomaly, even if you are not
knowledgeable of the beings or parts of nature which
produced it. When trying to determine the nature of an
artifact or anomaly that you are unfamiliar with, you are able
to discern at least one useful piece of information about it.
Farmer
The saying goes “it’s like feeding an army.” Farmers are the
most crucial element for success in society, especially before
the mass implementation of railway systems. Societies can
not properly function progressively on an empty stomach.
With their importance being fully understood, Farmers are
amongst the most respected people of the wastelands.

proficient in, a sack containing 5gp worth of trade goods, and
a belt pouch containing 5gp.
Feature: Of the Land
You lack the formal education of the higher classes. But for
how little you may know, there is a great deal that you
understand. You have a practical, working knowledge of
astrology and meteorology, and can easily track the time and
date, as well as predict the weather within a few hours, or
days if you are lucky. You understand the "secrets of life;" the
needs of life (water, light, air, salt, et cetera), the patterns of
physical inheritance, and the connections between different
plants and animals.
CHAPTER 4 | BACKGROUNDS

Variant: Cowboy
Among the most noble folk of rural society, cowboys are born
and raised on the ranch. In childhood, they were trained on
the proper handling of animals and crops. In adulthood, they
often run ranches of their own, larger ranches often require
many cowboys. This does not mean that cowboys are simply
ranchers, as they also know their way around a gun or two.
Rather than having your artisan tools, trade goods, and
hopes of reaching opportunity and creating a better life for
themselves or their families. Immigrants often find their
hopes stunted as they are usually sent to the most menial and
dangerous of jobs. But their hard work does not go unnoticed
as they are responsible for the swift development of housing
and transportation in the wastelands.
Skill Proficiencies: Mechanics, Religion
Tool Proficiencies: one instrument of choice and water
vehicles
Language: one of your choice.
Equipment: one set of common clothes in the style of your
homeland, a musical instrument, a blanket, 10 candles, a
tinderbox, a holy symbol or religious text, and a belt pouch
containing 5gp.
Feature: All Eyes on You
Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps
even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious
glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be
a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars
and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of
everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.
You can parlay this attention into access to people and places
you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling
distant homeland and people.
Lawman
Someone has to keep the outlaws and criminals in check,
lawmen are those that seek justice and due trial. Either in
charge of their town, or part of a greater organization,
Lawmen are the bringers of law and order,with their laws
sometimes made by themselves. They are a separate entity
from soldiers, as they are not usually officially endorsed by
any government.
Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Insight
Language: one of your choice.
Equipment: a uniform of your design and an indication of
your relationship with local law, a horn with which to
summon help, a set of manacles, and a pouch containing 10
gp
Feature: Watcher’s Eye
Your experience in enforcing the law, and dealing with
lawbreakers gives you a feel for local laws and criminals. You
can easily find the local sheriff’s office or a similar
organization and just as easily pick out the dens of criminal
activity in a community, although you are more likely to be
welcome in the former locations rather than the latter.
Variant: Investigator
Rarer than a watchman or a patrol member are a
community's investigators, who are responsible for solving
crimes after the fact. Though such folk are seldom found in
rural areas, nearly every settlement of decent size has at least
one or two watch members who have the skill to investigate
crime scenes and track down criminals. If your prior
experience is as an investigator, you have proficiency in
Investigation rather than Athletics.
Variant: Lawyer
Lawyers are lawmen that, rather than through brute force,
deliver their justice through the laws of the region in which
they studied. Lawyers have a vast knowledge of the rights,
privileges, and laws that apply to residents of their region.
Lawyers know how to leverage the law to their advantage
through persuasive rhetoric. Lawyers receive a law degree or
certificate instead of a uniform or indication of rank. Also,
lawyers receive a law textbook instead of a horn. Lastly,
lawyers are proficient in Persuasion instead of Athletics.
Local Legend
“We walk amongst legends” has never been more true than in
the wastelands. Open and developing land creates the perfect
breeding ground for legends to be made. Local Legends
come in many shapes and sizes, but are usually known for
being one of the greatest of any one thing, whether it be
farming, persuading, killing, or even serving drinks. These
people are known for their profound skills or stories and are
often the subject of many campfire tales.

Equipment: a set of artisan’s tools (one of your choice), a
shovel, an iron pot, a set of common clothes, and a belt pouch
containing 10 gp
Feature: All in a Day’s Work
As a local figure, you have done something in your life which
has made a large impact on a relatively small number of
people. You could have saved a farm from going up in flames,
established a water route which provided fresh water to a
village, or orchestrated a counter-attack to some troublesome
raiders. Regardless of your accomplishment, the people that
you helped will be forever grateful. Should you ask a favor of
these people, they will be more than likely to accept it
(barring that the request is reasonable). You should work with
your DM to determine the details of your accomplishment.
Miscreant
Everyone acts outside of the law every once in a while, the
difference between them and Miscreants is that a Miscreant’s
once-in-a-while is actually quite often. Miscreants make their
living outside of societal rules, whether it be through minor
crimes, like robbery, or something greater, like assassinations
or smuggling.
Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Stealth
Tool Proficiencies: one type of gaming set, thieves’ tools or
disguise kit
Equipment: a crowbar, a set of dark common clothes
including a hood or a bandana, and a belt pouch containing
15 gp
Feature: Shady Business
Those who operate outside of the law have to do so in a way
which is not obvious. Being unfamiliar or awkward with the
various methods of avoiding detection can pose a danger to
both yourself and your conspirerers. You are familiar with
these shady practices and are able to circumvent the law to
varying degrees of success. In situations when you need to
validate to others that you are a legitimate criminal, you are
able to do so without question.
Performer
What would life be if not for the pleasures? Life in the
wastelands is not exactly easy, meaning pleasures are few
and far between. The Performer seeks to bring the “life” back
into life. They may or may not be in it for the coin, but there is
no doubt that the Performer feeds from the enjoyment of
others and knowing that they can make others happy also
brings them joy. Performers may play music, dance, perform,
or create, no matter the medium their livelihood is heavily
reliant on others.
Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics, Performance
your choice), the favor of an admirer (love letter, lock of hair,
or trinket), a costume, and a belt pouch containing 15 gp
Feature: On Tour
As a performer, you fulfill a job which requires countless
hours of study and practice. But while the spectacle of your
performances may capture the imagination of your audience,
the spectacle often fades with age. As such, you often travel to
introduce your performance to new audiences. Of course,
your entertainment is not free and thus you often rely on the
generous tips of your audience in order to make a living. After
gathering an audience of at least ten individuals (how you
gather this audience is up to you) and performing for at least

 Nomad
You grew up in the wilds, far from civilization and the
comforts of town and technology. You have witnessed the
migration of herds larger than forests, survived weather more
extreme than any city-dweller could comprehend, and enjoyed
the solitude of being the only thinking creature for miles in
any direction. The wilds are in your blood, whether you were
a Nomad, an explorer, a recluse, a hunter-gatherer, or even a

Politician
For the Politician, leadership is in their blood. Their goals in
life revolve around making a change in the world they live in.
The change may be out of self-interest or for the interest of
the commonwealth. Politicians tend to have some influence
on local rules and laws and greater politicians sometimes
have influence on regional rules and law. In the lawless
wastelands, politicians have their work laid out for them.

been a lawmaker, mayor, or some other representative of your
people. Regardless, you have had some sort of influence over
people’s lives, for better or for worse. When trying to elicit
change in an organization or institution, you will often fare
better than a common citizen. Because of your history, people
of power are often more likely to grant you counsel and listen
to what you have to say.

a child’s laughter that has been lowered in pitch and sped up
in tempo. They enjoy causing mischief during the night and
are not generally violent unless they do not get their way.
They often travel the outlands, looking for vulnerable

Jersey Devils have wings similar to a bat and horns that are
closer to tusks than antlers. Jersey devils are asexual and can
only reproduce by harvesting unborn children from pregnant

them with Jersey Devil blood. They exclusively feast on

flesh that is not human.

 Minhocao
Minhocao are large, eel-shaped fish which are native to lakes
large enough to accommodate them, often growing to be up
to 40 feet long. They feed exclusively on terrestrial meat,
meaning that their food supply is limited strictly to land
animals which drink from these great lakes. The scales of a
Minhocao are rigid and bone-like, appearing like some sort of
living fossil. Minhocao rarely, if ever, surface from the water.
Rather, they have a retractable pointed tongue which
functions much the same as a harpoon. When a Minhocao
needs to feed, it floats close to the surface of the water and
waits for prey to come and drink. After selecting a prey, it
launches its tongue, gouges the animal, and retracts the
tongue, taking the meal with it. The entire process is
lightning-fast, capable of being missed if one glanced in
another direction. Minhocao are also capable of slamming
their bodies against the underwater terrain, creating small-
scale seismic activity. Locals who live near lakes in which
Minhocao dwell state that this seismic activity often precedes
rainy storms.

Discovered by drillers looking for crude oil, the Oil Ooze is a
sizable blob of gelatinous oil. The ooze was animated slowly
over time by evil, primal forces which stand opposed to
natural living beings. The Oil Ooze is inherently destructive

Contrary to what the name implies, Skunk Apes are actually
of the mephitidae family (along with skunks) and not of the
primate family (which apes belong to). What evolution has
sacrificed with their agility and stealth, it has made up for
with size and strength. Their faces are badger-like and they
are shaped like fat kangaroos. Like skunks, their fur is long,
sleek, and mostly black with white stripes. Also like skunks,
Skunk Apes have a gland which releases a putrid, sour smell
which can be used in a variety of ways. The two most
common ways the stink is used are: to give themselves an
advantage in a fight, or to drive out smaller predators in order
to steal their food. Skunk Ape hides are considered exotic
because of their relative difficulty of harvesting and often
fetch a high price in order to be processed into fashionable
coats and rugs.

Sombrerons are showmen, or rather showthings, before
anything else. They find pleasure in gathering an audience
through any means possible. Often they will untie livestock or
kidnap individuals only to relish in the attention that it
garners. Sombrerons have an affinity for pretty people,
particularly people with long hair. They have an unhealthy
obsession with braiding hair and will braid the hair of any
horses, dogs, mules or people that they can.
Sombrerons have an obsessive personality. If they find
someone that they fancy, they will become infatuated with
them, stalking them until they get their attention. They will
sing and dance for their obsession and will sometimes charm
them into becoming part of their audience, permanently.
Sombrerons have skin that is so dark that looking at them
is as if staring into the void of deep space. Their face simply
consists of two large, round eyes with deep pupils and an
eerie grin that stretches across their face. They average a
height of around four-and-a-half feet. They wear an almost all
black wardrobe that consists of boots, pants, a flashy belt, a
formal button-up, gloves, and a sombrero that is as wide as
they are tall.

 Uktena
Uktena are an ancient race of serpent-like elementals with
exceedingly long life spans that channel power from planes of
air and water. They love storms and are often associated with
them, sometimes being seen as harbingers of bad weather.
They are also known as 'horned serpents,' though calling
them that to their faces may draw their ire. They appear
similar to snakes and are affixed with a variety of horns.
Though, this is where the similarities between all the
different Uktena stop. Each caste Uktena looks and behaves
rather differently, in order to fulfill their designated purpose.
These creatures left their original home plane in search of
other enlightened races like themselves, and to uplift other
less intelligent creatures. While travelling to other planes,
they found very few races that they considered "enlightened"
and slowly lost hope in the other creatures that they found.
Eventually, they grew disillusioned with their original
purpose and abandoned it with many, choosing to settle in
the planes they had come to and live solely amongst their
tribes.
The Uktena have chosen an isolated existence. The
isolation keeps them far from other creatures that they find to
be destructive and dangerous. The foremost of these dangers
are other humanoid races to which Uktena will go to great
lengths not to associate with. For this reason, the Uktena live
in remote locations such as islands or other temperamental
areas that other creatures would not live in for fear of
dangerous storms and cold. Areas such as these are similar
to the original home of the Uktena.
Due to their distaste for most other sentient creatures, the
Uktena have become extremely territorial. Those that do
come near their homes are chased off swiftly with use of
force. Many creatures do not take the hint quite how it was
intended, and will often attempt to fight back against
whatever forces the Uktena have sent against them. This
often results in further retaliation from the Uktena, with
larger forces being sent. In some dire cases where one of
their own are injured or killed, the offender will be hunted
down relentlessly and will be executed to provide
retribitution for their deceased kin. The biggest sin one can
commit against the Uktena is to kill an Uktena child. This is
because children are considered helpless, and the Uktena
only have a new child in the tribe every 3 years. In most
circumstances, Uktena will refuse to kill a child from any
sentient species even in the most dire of situations due to the
feeling that the act is inherently evil.
The Uktena are devout worshippers of the mysterious
Celestial Constrictor. Little is known to the Uktena about this
being other than that they claim that it controls the flow of
time and that it holds the world together, but it does so in a
way which struggles and causes itself great pain, making the
ultimate self-sacrifice. The Uktena are very secretive with
their worship as they think others would misinterpret or
misunderstand the teachings and followings of the Celestial
Constrictor. The Uktena believe that it would be sacrilegious
for lesser beings to claim allegiance to and pray in honor of
the Celestial Constrictor.
CHAPTER 7 | MONSTERS
119
The Uktena Hierarchy
The Uktena have a very strict caste system that they live by in
which each member of the tribe has a specific purpose. Upon
reaching maturity, an Uktena will transform into a form that
allows them to fulfill their purpose well. While every Uktena
is assigned a role from a young age based upon their
personality and their aptitudes, sometimes an Uktena finds
their role unpleasant or unfitting. While the caste system is
strict, it exists to provide structure, as not to cause strife
amongst tribe mates. For this reason, a Uktena can change
its caste. To achieve a caste change the Uktena in question
must work hard to prove that they will be a good fit in their
new proposed role, and must continue to perform their
current role until their new role is approved. If a Uktena is
unable to change caste due to lack of aptitude, they must
remain in their current role because it is believed that is what
is best for everyone. While most times the Uktena in question
will just accept this and continue to work their determined
role, some may work to get better so that they may one day be
allowed to enter their preferred caste, but a rare few may
rebel from the tribe and strike out in self-exile.
Children are excluded from the caste system, as they
represent the future of the tribe and also because their role
has yet to be determined. They do not yet understand the
ways of the world or even all the customs of the tribe. Due to
this, immature Uktena are raised by the entire tribe. It is the
job of all tribe members to keep children safe and teach them
the things they need to know before they mature fully.
Immature Uktena are only distinguishable from other regular
snakes by the small brown curved horns that sit at the top of
their heads, and by their ability to speak in a small high
pitched voice that greatly contrasts the low pitched voices of
mature Uktena.
The metamorphosis of maturing Uktena into their new role
is often seen as an important day in Uktena culture and is
celebrated heavily. It is on such days of celebration that the
Uktena will place aside their duties and instead hold a
celebration in the honor of the one reaching maturity and
receiving a role to help their fellow tribe members. These are
also days in which castes are set aside and Uktena mingle
freely without care. Though the castes are restrictive, no
Uktena would mistreat another without proper reason.
Oftentimes, a higher caste is indicative of a higher self-worth
and a metaphorical badge that signifies personal
achievement. This inflation of personality will sometimes
cause the higher castes to talk down to the lower ones.
Maturing Uktena have multiple forms that can be assumed
upon metamorphosis. This depends on their specific
aptitudes. All Uktena forms are very different and most
metamorphosis results are based on whatever function the
maturing Uktena is most well built for. The one that initiates
the metamorphosis is the Coatlicue, the tribe's mother. At the
end of the celebration the Coatlicue begins the ritual that will
bring about the metamorphosis into what is the next part of
maturing Uktena's life. While most Uktena will have a form
seen time and time again by its tribe members, during times
of great need a unique form may be produced to exceptional
Uktena to assist the Coatlicue in leading their tribe towards
the ever changing future.
Amaru
The Amaru are the hunters and trackers of the tribe, They
are often dispatched when there are signs of invaders along
with the Unktehi. These creatures are well-versed in the
areas of nature, survival, and stealth, and will use whatever
resources available to them to gain an advantage. Because
the Amaru will do what is necessary for them to achieve
victory over an opponent and maintain the safety of the tribe,
they have begun to use firearms to combat outsiders. Most
Uktena shun firearms as they are seen as exceedingly
destructive and barbaric, with most Uktena preferring
traditional weaponry. The Amaru, however, look past these
qualities and look at the advantages of a stronger weapon
which they can rely on, especially when they have to fight an
opponent on equal terms. The sounds the firearms make also
reminds them of the thunderclaps which many Amaru have
taking a liking to. Some Amaru have even been inspired to
create guns that incorporate thunder into them.
Amaru have long, slender serpent bodies that are
surprisingly strong for how agile they are. The Amaru have
two sets of what appear to be long, stag-like horns made of a
quality similar to bone. These horns, however, are actually
extremely nimble limbs that allow them to hold and
manipulate objects with extreme precision. At the same time,
these horns are still as hard as bone, making them difficult to
damage and not conducive of pain. The Amaru are outfitted
with lightweight armor that allows them to maximize their
dexterity and have scales that are typically dark green, brown,
and black, which allows them to blend into natural
environments.

 Apotma'Kin
These Uktena are exiled from their tribe, though typically this
exile is self-imposed. Their doubts grow for one reason or
another, and they no longer feel like a part of their tribe. This
divergence of thoughts and actions may come from some
kind of self-reflection but is often caused by speaking to
another creature at length that is not an Uktena. This change
then manifests itself physically and causes an extreme
change to the rebelling Uktena.
Apotma'Kin are physically the most unique of all of the
Uktena. They are truly gargantuan serpents, larger than even
the Coatlicue in size and sprout two additional heads. These
heads appear to resemble a crow and a jaguar, though they
are covered in the same bark blue scales that the rest of
Apotma'Kin is covered in, excluding for the beak of the crow's
head. Each head seems to have their own personality. The
jaguar is typically quick to anger while the crow speaks in a
low, calming tone, attempting to give a sense of security to
whomever it is speaking to. The Apotma'Kin's main head is
that of a large snake with a large horn that grows out just
above its nostrils that curves slightly back towards itself and
forks at the end, curving back in on itself. This head also has
a mane of long red hair starting at the top of its head. The
belly of this serpent has pure white scales.

These Uktena are also unique in that their initial rejection
in long held beliefs often causes a crisis of faith, leading them
to reject almost all, if not their entire ideology, which was held
dear in their old life. This sometimes results in a complete
solitude from all creatures with any that happen to stumble
upon being subject to the whims of this Uktena which are as
ever-changing as the tides and the winds. Other Apotma’Kin
seek enlightenment, learning from other creatures and
helping those that they find deserving. Creatures being
helped by the Apotma'Kin may find this friendliness
questionable or even alarming. Some of the most dangerous
Apotma'Kin are those who have rejected structure altogether
and forfeited their sentience, acting similar to wild animals.
These Apotma'Kins will attempt to lure unwary creatures
towards itself and will then drag them down into the depths
that they generally reside in, with some choosing to chase
and toy with its would-be prey before finally ending their
suffering.
The Apotma'Kin is often known to most for tales of its
unpredictable nature and their preying of any within its grasp,
including defenseless children. Many will warn you not to
listen to voices that seem to come from large bodies of water
as it could easily be an Apotma'kin trying to lure towards it.
Many also warn that even though its form appears
monstrous, many find its words to be oddly agreeable and
may venture towards it without thought of the threat that it
might pose. However, even the most well intentioned
Apotma'Kin will often pose a danger whether it means to or
not due to its fickle and erratic behavior.
Magic Resistance. The apotma'kin has advantage on
saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

 Coatlicue
The Coatlicue is the leader, as well as the mother, of an Coatlicue's Skirt of

their tribe and has direct authority over all Uktena of her Large swarm of medium beasts, unaligned

and if one kills an Uktena, they are surely to be slain.
All Uktena have extremely long lifespans, some living up to
a milenia. The Coatlicue is usually the most long-lived among
the Uktena. When a Coatlicue feels her time may soon come
to an end, she will begin looking for a successor. She will
begin to groom them so that they are prepared for their new
role when the time comes. An unexpected death of a
Coatlicue is rare, as any Uktena will lay down their life to
protect the Coatlicue of their tribe. Almost all Coatlicue have
the foresight to select a successor, though there have been
cases in which a Coatlicue passes away without choosing a
successor. In these circumstances, the tribe will either merge
with the next closest tribe or the tribe will collectively choose
who they think is most fit to take the role of temporary leader,
during which the tribe can deliberate for a period of time over
which Uktena should become the next Coatlicue.

 Kuai
The Kaui are the most clever and intelligent amongst the
Uktena and are often the force driving the culture forward.
They often attempt to bring about necessary changes to
Uktena, who are generally very traditional and resist change
as a culture. The Kuai often look to the objects left by
trespassers on their lands in attempts to figure out how they
work and if they can be incorporated into their culture. This
was the case with spellcasting as they learned the study of
arcane magic from the magical artifacts, items, spell scrolls,
and spellbooks that were either left and forgotten in the
places where they have made their home or taken from the
trespassers they have encountered over the years. The
newest interest of the Kuai are the relatively new mechanical
devices that seem to be appearing more and more often, chief
among those being firearms. While they are unable to use
them due to their reliance on telekinesis and general lack of
limbs, they are more than happy to show the Amaru how to
properly make and use them.
The Kuai frequently dress in dark robes crafted to fit their
elongated snake like-bodies with an oversized hood made to
fit over their large, curved and coiled ram-like horns that sit
upon their head. Their robes are inlaid with crystals that they
use as spellcasting focuses. The Kaui have no other limbs or
additional tails to manipulate objects like most other Uktena.
Instead, they rely on the use of telekinesis and Mage Hand to
perform these actions. The Kuai generally have some shade
of blue scales with either deep red or purple patterns along
their back that they keep hidden using their robes. Only a
Kuai's most trusted friends or loyal allies will know what a
Kuai's back pattern looks like.

The Misi'Ginebig has a large, powerful serpentine body
dressed in a cape that is a bright blue on the outside and dark
blue on the inside. They wear very simple and sparse clothing
outside of that. Their scale colorations tend to be bright
colors such as orange, red, blue, and pink but only have two
of the colors for their scales that alternate, separated by a
black band each time. The Misi'Ginebig also has arms that it
constructs from water that seems to follow its will exactly as
if it were truly part of them. Misi'Ginebig have one large
conical horn that grows out of their head that occasionally
seems to crackle with electricity.

be the wisest of the Uktena, outside of the Coatlicue, and
often expend wisdom to other Uktena whether they were
asked for it or not. When they are not performing community
service, they can often be found communing with nature.
They will often go to waterfalls to meditate within them, or
will sit out in harsh storms allowing the rain and wind to beat
on them while their horn draws lightning towards it like a

Unktehi
The Unktehi are the front line warriors of the Uktena ,and are
sent as a response to most general threats. They also
function as village guards for the tribe in their day-to-day
work. These Uktena, while not as skilled as many of their kin,
seek to prove themselves as a point of honor. While they do
not have all the combat capabilities of other Uktena, they use
mixtures of natural prowess, battle tactics, and the natural
magic they possess to combat threats. The Unktehi
instinctually work well as part of a group, rather than as a
singular entity, and are part of a unit of other Uktena they
frequently train and work with. Despite their proclivity to
work as a group, Unktehi as a whole tend to lack social grace
and understanding. They tend to speak very little, even to
those they consider friends, will speak before thinking of the
consequences, and will often take manners of speaking
literally.
The Unktehi have large muscular serpentine bodies and
wear heavy armor to protect themselves in combat because
they lack the natural armor and dexterity that many of their
kin have. Their scales tend to be bright warm colors such as
bright scarlets or fiery reds, with dark blue and purple
blotches all along their bodies. Unktehi have three tails and
use their right and left tails to wield two scimitars, which are
the traditional weaponry of the Uktena. The Unktehi's horns
consist of a large stout one, which is rather sharp and
powerful, and another one that sits right above their nose.
They often use these horns to devastating effect, viciously
charging at enemies of the tribe. uprooting their enemies
from where they once stood and pushing them back along
with the charging Unktehi.

 Void Ooze
While this creature appears to be an ooze of some kind, in
truth it is a being made of many smaller creatures that
cooperate together perfectly to survive the harshness of the
void. They invade other worlds, often out-pacing the common
predators of other planes. Each creature that makes up these
oozes is as small as a particle of sand. They use this
advantage to sneak into small places other creatures could
not fit in order to chase down fleeing prey or escape from
something that might pose a danger to it. Every part of the
void ooze moves so perfectly in sync that they can actually
contort and manipulate their bodies at will and in very quick
motions to help lessen the effects of attacks made against it.
The void ooze appears as a viscous and black shimmering
liquid as it moves fluidly and often slowly across a surface. If
it intends to move quickly, it will fly through the air, often
moving in the shape of a perfect sphere until it comes into
contact with something.

Wendigo
The wendigo is a creature from folk-tale and fable said to be a
tall thin emaciated beast created when one's fellow man
chooses to commit one of the worst taboos imaginable,
feasting upon the flesh of another person. The problem is
that wendigos are more than just tall tales meant to scare a
person into doing the right thing.
Catching the attention of a wendigo is one of the worst
things you can do as once one finds a suitable host they will
do anything to inhabit it. It is said that the wendigo can't
make a man do anything they don't want to but that the spirit
is a cloying song in its ear that drives it towards an insatiable
hunger for everything that person could want. When the
person is finally overcome by greed and gluttony. One thing
that will always call a wendigo into a body though is
cannibalism, as there is nothing that a wendigo enjoys more
than feasting on the flesh of a humanoid. Upon finding one
that has committed the ultimate taboo they can inhabit them
immediately and will continue to feast on the closest people
before moving on to find new prey.
The wendigo itself is a malevolent spirit that wants nothing
more than to consume and destroy, and when they find a
human akin to themselves they may attempt to possess them.
Those that the wendigos possess are almost always
overcome with gluttony or greed just like the spirit, and just
as their sins against their fellow man warps their soul, so
does the wendigo warp their flesh. Those possessed by the
spirit of a wendigo transform into a roughly humanoid
creature that appears boney, emaciated, and frail but is
actually a frightening monster of great strength, intellect, and
speed.
The body a wendigo inhabits quickly transforms to fit the
aberrant creature's spirit. With it's flesh turning an icy blue
before being most covered in dark coarse fur. It's body
stretches to 8 and in some cases over 9 feet tall with long,
gaunt, gangly limbs draping in front of it. Upon its neck sits
what appears to be a stag skull at first glance, but it's mouth
is full of long sharp canines and between the two sockets
where the eyes would normally sit is one blood red eye that
stares without end.
Wendigos normally appear in frontier towns and small
villages where the truly monstrous people that give birth to a
wendigo in flesh go left unchecked. Wendigos are known to
appear during harsh winters in remote locations, where
people often have to give into an unforgivable act just to
survive the harsh elements. What the cannibal doesn't realize
is that what they thought was their salvation from starvation
has cursed them to the life of a monstrous creature.
Origins. No one is quite sure where the spirit comes from;
all that is known is that they are definitely not and never were
humanoids. Despite this the spirit seems to see what we have
and wants it, all of it. Given the chance the wendigo will not
stop consuming, it will continue to grow taller and larger but
never more full, always ravenous for more. The spirit seems
to have never had a body on the material plane of it's own
though it yearns for one deeply. With its body it seeks to
indulge itself in all the worldly pleasures it could not, being
especially interested in dining on the flesh of humanoids.
Though the body can be destroyed it seems that when this
happens the spirit goes back to wherever it came from
before, making a wendigo nearly impossible to truly kill.
Wendigo Dens. Wendigos tend to appear in remote and
cold locations. Though a wendigo will try to make its way to
populated areas they are often stopped as swiftly as possible.
In addition to people being on the lookout for these monsters
they seem to hate the heat as it cancels out their regenerative
abilities and so they stick to subarctic regions and ever frigid
arboreal forests. They will frequently set up traps all over the
areas they call home and then drag prey that's been trapped
back to a cave where they reside, so that they may dine on the
body of their prey at their leisure.
Wetikoa When a wendigo consumes enough flesh it seems
to undergo a transformation of sorts, such things rarely
happen as it tends to take years of consuming the flesh of
usually hundreds of people to trigger it but when it does the
new creature is called a wetikoa. The wetikoa keeps its long
boney physique but it has grown to an unwieldy size now. Its
body seems to coil in upon itself so that it can move quickly
but it's true outstretched size is truly massive. The limbs and
body of a wetikoa seem to coil upon themselves like a snake
constricting its prey. In addition it seems that it's flesh can no
longer cover its long limbs completely leaving long stretches
of the Weitkao's body made up entirely of bone. In addition
the Wetikoa also gains a large gaping maw in the middle of
it's abdomen and now has its body covered in the same red
eyes that originally just adorned its skull.
The appearance of wetikoa has made the existence of the
wendigo an even bigger curiosity to people. Some scholars
speculate that perhaps it is not simply that the wendigo
simply enjoys its gluttony but that it is working towards
something. Perhaps through consumption of the human flesh
it knows it can grow stronger and reach new forms upon the
material plane. Perhaps the wendigos do have true forms
upon the material plane and they can only be acheived by
possesion, gluttony, murder and, cannabalism.This is only a
theory though as wendigos and wetikoas rarely speak save to
lure prey closer with their ability to mimic any voice they've
heard. Most still believe that wendigos do what they do out of
sure hunger and glee as they seem to enjoy hunting and
toying with their prey. Still though rumors circulate of what
happens when a weitkoa manages to eat thousands of people,
the information is rarely anything concrete and the creature
sounds nothing short of the ravings of a madman. Still
though descriptions of such things are liable to send shivers
down the spine of even the hardiest adventurer.
