back in college, I knew this world was going to be something

really drew me into the show was the immersive universe the - Earth Bender 5

arts were one, where kung fu and superpowers blended - Fire Bender 6
seamlessly into something entirely new. Since getting into - Air Bender 7

Basics and Player Options
The Avatar Universe
Despite its very broad appeal to children, adults, and
everyone in-between, the world of Avatar: the Last Airbender
is still very much a kid's show. The Legend of Korra was
aimed at a slightly older teen audience, but remained on
Nickelodeon and was therefore subject to the same
Standards and Practices department as its predecessor.
While this isn't to say that a more dark and gritty version of
the universe wouldn't be interesting, those interested in
maintaining the feel and flavor of the original cartoons would
do best to keep things in a "G" or slightly "PG" rating. Most, if
not all, character deaths happen off-screen, assuming they
even happen (see all the parachutes deliberately shown
escaping from every aircraft defeat).
The level of technology in the world of Avatar varies greatly
depending on what part of history you want to play in, and
geographic location also can be quite a factor. The original
series takes place in a primarily late medieval time period,
with the exception of ironclad steamships used by the Fire
Nation. Only 70 years later, the world has developed
everything from electricity to radio to even automobiles.
Discuss with the rest of your group what era feels most
interesting to the table, then make adjustments or complete
changes as necessary. Remember that none of this is canon;
it's your parallel version of reality, after all.
Added Player Options
Fighting Style Options
1st-level fighter feature (enhances Fighting Style)
When you choose a fighting style, the following styles are
added to the list of options.
Blind Fighting. Being unable to see a creature doesn’t
impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it, provided
the creature isn’t hidden from you.
Interception. When a creature you can see hits a target
that is within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your
reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 +
your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You
must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to
use this reaction.
Thrown Weapon Fighting. You can draw a weapon that
has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with
the weapon.
In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a
thrown weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to the damage roll.
Unarmed Fighting. Your unarmed strikes can deal
bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier. If
you strike with two free hands, the d6 becomes a d8.
When you successfully start a grapple, you can deal 1d4
bludgeoning damage to the grappled creature. Until the
grapple ends, you can also deal this damage to the creature
whenever you hit it with a melee attack.
Note: Unarmed strikes use Strength as their ability score
for attack and damage bonuses, unless you have a feature
that allows you to use something different.

Martial Versatility
1st-level fighter feature (enhances Fighting Style)
Whenever you gain a level in a class that has the Fighting
Style feature, you can replace a fighting style you know with
another style available to your class. This change represents
a shift of focus in your martial training and practice, causing
you to lose the benefits of one style and gain the benefits of
another style.
Monk Weapons
1st-level monk feature (enhances Martial Arts)
You can use this feature to define your monk weapons,
rather than using the definition in Martial Arts.
You practice your martial arts with specially chosen
weapons, which become monk weapons for you. You can
choose a number of weapons to be your monk weapons equal
to 5+ your Wisdom modifier (minimum of five weapons). The
chosen weapons must each meet the following criteria:
The weapon must be a simple or martial weapon.
You must be proficient with the weapon.
The weapon must lack these properties: heavy, special, or
two-handed.
Cunning Action: Aim
2nd-level rogue feature (enhances Cunning Action)
You gain an additional way to use your Cunning Action:
carefully aiming your next attack. As a bonus action, you give
yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current
turn. You can use this bonus action only if you haven’t moved
during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your
speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.
Removed Player Options
All non-human races removed
All spellcasting classes removed: Bard, Cleric, Druid,
Paladin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
All spellcasting and spell-like subclasses removed (Arcane
Trickers, Eldritch Knight, Way of Shadow, etc.)
The Artificer class might be an exception, since
technology is shown to be on pace with much of the magic
displayed in the show. Decide if this class is right for your
game at your table.
But what if I don't wanna?
Like all things in role-playing games, everything
here is just a suggestion. If you want to have elves
and gnomes and dragonborn in your Avatar world,
go for it! If you want benders to mingle with
wizards and warlocks, that sounds awesome! I
present options and suggestions here as just
those; things to take or not take at your leisure.
Talk things over with your Game Master and
develop a version of the Avatar universe that works
for you and the rest of your table.
Just remember, the only way to lose at D&D is to
not have fun while playing it.

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 bending 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.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common.
Subrace. There are four subraces of elemental benders,
one for each of the primal elements: earth, fire, air, and water.
Choose one of these subraces.
