Tempest Lore, Volume 2:

Classes, Items, and Spells

From Heroes of the Storm
Monastic Tradition:
Way of the Veradani
The Sahptev faith of Ivgorod maintains a militant warrior-
monk caste, bare-fisted and richly ornamented, to police its
monastery cities.
Every moment these monks are not steeped in the tenets of
their one thousand and one gods and goddesses, they are
vigilant for signs of demonic corruption. With fists bolstered
by spirit and a resolve tempered like steel, the Veradani
stomp out evil, root and branch, wherever it is found.
Veradani Arts
When you choose this Tradition at 3rd level, you gain access
to the three Veradani Arts. You may spend 1 Ki Point to use a
given Art for 1 minute. Only one Art may be active at a time.
While an Art is active, you gain a Spirit every time you hit a
creature with an unarmed strike. These Spirits leave you if
the Art's duration ends and you do not immediately spend
another Ki Point to renew it. You retain Spirits if you switch
from one Art to another.
The Iron Art causes your fists to harden and become
heavy like lead. While this Art is active and you have 3
Spirits or more, the next time you hit with an unarmed
strike, you may expend 3 Spirits and deal an additional
Martial Arts die of Piercing damage.
The Transcendant Art causes your shoulders to lighten,
and your wounds to fade. While this Art is active and you
have 6 Spirits or more, the next time you hit with an
unarmed strike, you may expend 6 Spirits and cause a Divine Palm

Spirit Ally
At 11th level, your spirit echoes with wisdom and insight from
the 1001 Sahptev deities. As a bonus action, you may spend a
Ki point to leave an ethereal echo of yourself in your space
known as a Spirit Ally. The Ally cannot move or take actions,
but cannot be damaged in any way. You may target the Ally
with Radiant Dash.
In addition, when you gain Spirits while within 25 feet of
your Spirit Ally, every third Spirit you gain grants you two
Spirits instead of one.
You may use this feature once per short rest.
Sacred Oath:
Oath of the Daelaam
The Oath of the Daelaam is a shared bond between
struggling peoples. The original Daelaam were a coalition of
a once-fractured race, dedicated to retaking their ravaged
homeland from a monstrous tide of Aberrant invaders.
Those who take up the Oath of the Daelaam are implacable
in the pursuit of their kith and kin's betterment, and will forge
any path to achieve that goal, no matter how horrid.
Tenets of the Daelaam
Though not codified into a ritualistic creed like most
Paladins' oaths, the Tenets of the Daelaam are as devoutly
followed and as earnestly lived as any holy decree.
For My People. My community, my family, my friends.
Those who grant me succor are my richest treasure, and
anything that threatens their well-being must be destroyed.
A Shield To Snuff A Flame. I will be in harm's way when
danger is near. I would rather my body be broken a thousand
times over than allow someone I care about come to harm.
By Any Means. No tactic is too underhanded when the
success of my mission and the safety of my people is at stake.
Ancient forbidden technology, soul-devouring magic...
anything and everything. Taboo is a luxury for a kinder age.

Items
Wailing Arrow
Weapon (arrow), rare
This arrow's head drips with a viscious black liquid that
never seems to fall from its edge, constantly receding and
hanging like inky wine legs.
When you fire this arrow at a creature or a point within
range, it explodes into splinters instead of dealing damage.
The exploding arrow unleashes a ghastly wail akin to a
Banshee's, forcing all creatures within a 25-foot radius to
make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 4d12
Psychic damage, taking half as much on a success.
Worg Charm
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
This rough-hewn trinket holds the shape of a canine paw
and hangs from a cord necklace. The wearer's hair seems to
grow an extra inch, and their voice deepens menacingly.
While attuned to the Worg Charm, your unarmed attacks
deal an additional 1d4 Slashing damage, and you add 1 to all
attack and damage rolls made using Strength.
Curse. If you are attuned to the Worg Charm during a full
moon, you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom save or fall
victim to its curse and transform into a Wereworg.
As a Wereworg, you add 1 to your AC, add 2 to your
Strength, and add 10 to your base speed, but your personality
changes to that of a feral Worg, evil and interested only in
preying on creatures weaker than yourself.
This transformation lasts until dawn. You revert if targeted
by a Remove Curse spell, and can remove the Charm
immediately.
If you succeed on the Wisdom save three times in a row,
you defeat the curse and can use an action to transform into a
Wereworg once every 7 days (or at will during a full moon).
After overcoming the curse, you retain your personality while
transformed, and can revert at will.
Spear of the Dryad's Step
Weapon (spear), uncommon
This weapon has no metal upon it, and appears to be the
limb of a tree that has grown its edge and impeccable balance
naturally.
You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with
the Spear. When you make a ranged attack with the spear, it
magically reappears in your hand at the end of your turn.
As an action, you can use the spear to cast Longstrider on
yourself. This ability cannot be used again until the next
dawn.
Spacetime Prism
Wondrous item, very rare
This green prism resembles an Ioun Stone at first glance.
further inspection reveals a dot of pure black at the crystal's
center that reveals no contour or flaw from any angle.
As an action, you may crush the prism in your hand and
throw it up to 30 feet away. After a brief delay, the crushed
crystal erupts into a 10-foot-wide sphere of frozen spacetime.
Creatures within the sphere must succeed on a DC 18
Dexterity saving throw or be trapped inside it.
Creatures and objects trapped within the sphere do not
experience the passage of time. Creatures that enter the
sphere are immediately subject to its effects. Any effect that
dispels magic can destroy the sphere.
Ghost's Skin
Armor, legendary (requires attunement)
This suit of unnatural fibres shimmers and bends light that
passes through it. While wearing this armor, you receive no
bonus to your AC, but are permanently under the effect of the
Greater Invisibility spell.
Spells
Cursed Quiver
3rd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: S, V, M (the ashes of a cremated elf)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You touch a quiver containing arrows or bolts. When a
target is hit by a ranged weapon attack using a piece of
ammunition drawn from the quiver, the target takes an extra
1d4 Necrotic damage. In addition, a creature that takes
damage from this spell subtracts 1 from all damage rolls it
makes for the next minute. This effect stacks up to 3 times.
The spell’s magic ends on the piece of ammunition when it
hits or misses, and the spell ends when twelve pieces of
ammunition have been drawn from the quiver.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the number of pieces of
ammunition you can affect with this spell increases by two for
each slot level above 3rd.
Solo
7th-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 20 feet
Components: S, V, M (a guitar pick fashioned from jade)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
After a brief moment to psyche yourself up, you let loose
with a blast of heart-pounding music from whatever
instrument you happen to be carrying (or an air guitar, if
that's your thing. Don't worry, it's magic). Creatures in range
must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be enthralled by
your performance, doing nothing on their turns besides
dancing and cheering you on.
Creatures immune to being Charmed automatically pass
their saving throw unless you successfully contest it with a
Charisma (Performance) check. When the spell ends,
affected creatures may not even realize something was amiss,
regarding you amiably unless they took damage in the
meantime.
Spawn Aberrants
3rd-level Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, V, M (the scale of a dead Aberrant)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You broadcast a psionic signal to the Far Reaches, calling
forth a number of Aberrant warrior-strain creatures to your
aid. You may summon 4 Acid Hurlers, 2 Hunter-Killers, or a
Glaive Shrike (statistics in the appendix below). The
creatures burrow up from the ground (or simply manifest in
an explosion of sludge if there is no suitable ground) near the
target location, and act at your initiative for the spell's
duration. They are slaved to your mental command until the
spell ends.
When the spell ends, you may cast it again to maintain
control over any Aberrants you have summoned. Otherwise,
the Aberrants simply keel over and die due to a fatal lack of
psychic stimulus.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, you may summon an additional
Acid Hurler for each level above 3rd. For every two levels
above 3rd, you may summon an additional Hunter-Killer. For
every three levels above 3rd, you may summon an additional
Glaive Shrike.
Spawn Brontolith
8th-level Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 80 feet
Components: S, V, M (a phial of Aberrant ichor)
Duration: Concentration, up to 4 hours
You send a mental probe into the Far Reaches and entice
an Aberrant Brontolith to this plane with promises of fresh
destruction. The monster punches a hole into this reality
through stubborn force of will, and will obey you so long as
there are buildings to topple and fresh prey to slaughter.
Spawn Brontolith functions identically to Spawn Aberrants
above, summoning a single Brontolith (see appendix).
However, when the spell ends, the massive beast does not
die. It may treat you favorably if you directed it to especially
violent ends. More likely, it will simply attempt to eat you.
