ADVENTURERS’ APPENDICES

New Character options and more for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition!
Greetings to my most wonderful D&D community!

My name is Jedidiah. I am a lifelong player of D&D and roleplaying type games and recently a DM again, this time for 5th
Edition. RPGs are near and dear to my heart as someone who loves to tell and be told a good story. Perhaps what I love most
about Dungeons and Dragons in particular is this: no matter what play mechanic you get excited for, which play style you
enjoy, or whatever play personality you wish to live out, you have a place at the table. Our hunger for adventure is fed, our
curiosity for the unknown is piqued, and the desire to succeed is matched by the pure and simple joy of a shared experience as
we dive into worlds of imagination. Like many of you, I am constantly dreaming up new characters or quests to one day play, or
inventing NPCs for my players to meet along their own adventures.
Here in my Adventurers’ Appendices I wanted to continue exploring my love for creating, not only for myself, but now for
all of you DMs and players alike. I want to present new ways to play the game, primarily in the form of new character options. I
had found myself where we all do at times: at the drawing board for a new character. It was there that I kept thinking to myself,
“Yeah there are class options close to what I have in mind, but not PRECISELY what I have in mind…” You know what I
mean? I first toyed with the idea of altering an existing subclass, but the more time I spent with it, the more it became clear that
I was in the middle of simply writing a new subclass. I polished it and polished it until I was happy. I wanted it to be something
new, but most of all I wanted it to be realistically playable for anyone in any campaign. So I naturally changed it some more.
When I finally sat back to admire my work, I joked with a couple friends about doing one for every available class.

From the beginning I knew I wanted to give this content away for free. I simply love playing D&D, and I want others to
share in my joy! After all, I and many creators like myself are building on the shoulders of giants, without whom none of it
would be possible. (Thank you to Wizards for your ever generous Fan Content Policy, disclaimer attached.) Please, please,
please, if you see anyone anywhere trying to sell what is included in here, report it to Wizards of the Coast, and then point
others to a free PDF copy. My hope is to give this out as a first edition for playtesting and to eventually re-publish a future
edition(s) containing revisions along with possible new content. That is of course, if I am able. If not, I at least wanted to share
with you what I already have. Use it, test it, tweak it, share it, perhaps build on it. Last but not least, have fun playing everyone!

Love and comradery,

Jedidiah

Adventurers’ Appendices 1.0 Jedidiah Beck
Barbarian - Path of the Fiend
Barbarians travel far and wide taking up quests for great
weapons of power or perilous contracts to fill in order to
earn their fame. Some barbarians look only to themselves,
their companions, or their clans for strength. Others still are
inspired not by the men they face in life, but the monsters.
Barbarians who follow the Path of the Fiend are those who
revere the strength of otherworldly demons, so much so that
they are willing to become like one. They may worship
one of the demon lords, they may worship themselves, or
they may only share that undeniable thirst for
domination.

Fiendish Nature
At 3rd level when you adopt this path your admiration for
the Abyss begins to draw you in and transform your nature.
You become resistant to poison damage, are now proficient
with the intimidation skill, and are faintly recognized as
fiendish by the spell detect good and evil.

Variant rule: If your DM allows it, you may select one

demonic boon from the Demonic Boons section beginning
on pg.30 of Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes.

Demonic Form
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, your body
begins to transform into one of the demons you so admire.
You start to develop any combination of either cloven feet,
elongated claws, or horns. You gain the following benefits
while you are either unarmed or are wielding only a single
one-handed weapon:
You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your
unarmed strike. This die changes as you gain barbarian
levels. Your unarmed attacks grow to a d8 at level 7, a d10
at level 11, and a d12 at level 15.
When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike
or a one-handed weapon on your turn, you can make one
unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't
already taken a bonus action this turn.
Charge of the Armanite
Beginning at 6th level, you can harness your rage into
discharges of violent energy. Once per short rest you can
take a special dash action while raging, and any creature you
choose within 10 feet of your path becomes the target of a
discharge and must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw.
Each creature takes a number of d8 lightning damage equal
to your Strength modifier, or half as much on a success.
Hunger of the Devourer
At 10th level you learn how to hunt living souls as a demon.
A number of times per day equal to your Constitution
modifier, you can release a wave of necrotic thirst as a
bonus action. All living creatures within 60 feet of you have
their location revealed to you. If a creature is currently
grappled by you when you use this ability it takes 2d12
necrotic damage, and you are healed for half that amount.
This ability has no effect on constructs or undead.
Grip of the Balor
Starting at 14th level, your command of demonic energy
grows highly concentrated. When entering rage you choose
either lightning or fire damage. For the duration of that rage
you are resistant to the damage type you chose, and your
melee attacks deal an extra d8 of that same damage type.
While under this effect, your unarmed strikes are considered
magical for the purpose of overcoming physical resistances.

Bard - College of Chance
Bards of the College of Chance view the world in a different
light than most others. Heroes of the College will embark on
grand quests, not because they know the outcome, but
because of the chance they will succeed. Those with
adventure and wanderlust in their hearts will travel to new
lands, not because they know what they will find there, but
because discovering the unknown is half of the pleasure.
The daring and the intrepid will challenge mighty foes, not
because they know they can win, but because they might. To
a bard belonging to the College of Chance, life is little more
predictable than a game of dice for the gods.
Extra Attack

attack made as a part of your action. However
if your prediction was incorrect you make the
attacks at disadvantage.

What’s in Store
Starting at 3rd level, you embrace the
concept of the self-fulfilling prophecy.
Once after a long rest you may use this
ability to roll a d20 to determine an
effect. When the resulting number is
below your bard level you impose
disadvantage on your next saving
throw, when you roll above your
bard level you gain advantage on
your next saving throw, and if
you roll the number equal to your
bard level you gain a number of
temporary hit points equal to the
roll and also get advantage on
your next saving throw.

Cleric - Betrayal Domain
Gods of many sorts – from the free spirited or the stoic to
the mischievous and the vile – are often willing to harbor the
varying natures of betrayal. Some value their servants who
embrace chaos as the natural order or those that choose
independence over submission. Other deities seek out any
followers with the tenacity to act as a hand in the shadows.
Still, many gods are jealous and perhaps eager to receive
new worshipers who have left the fold of another god. The
betrayal domain can include clerics who wish to see their
foes undone before them, those who might manipulate the
faith for personal gain, clerics who would reject all others
but their own kind, any hero seeking vengeance or control,
and even the insane.
Betrayal Domain Spells
Cleric Level Spells
Betrayer’s Mark
Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to temporarily
tether your life force to that of another creature. When you
suffer an attack or are the target of a healing effect, you can
choose any one creature within 30 feet of you and share half
of the damage or healing you received rounded down. You
can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom
modifier (minimum of one). You regain all expended uses
when you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Twisted Fate
At 2nd level you can use your Channel Divinity to meddle
with the fates of up to two creatures. As a reaction you can
choose any two creatures or objects within 30 feet of you
and cause them to teleport trading locations. The creatures
or objects must be within one size of each other for the spell
to work properly.

you learn one cantrip of your choice from the wizard spell list. Divine Strike
At 8th level you gain the ability to infuse your weapon
strikes with poison. Once on each of your turns when you hit
a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to
deal an extra 1d8 poison damage to the target. When you
reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Disciple of Pain
At 17th level your deity has hallowed you allowing lethal
toxins to flow freely through your veins. You gain immunity
to poison damage and gain resistance to necrotic damage.

Adventurers’ Appendices 1.0 Jedidiah Beck
 Bonus Proficiencies
You gain proficiency in the history skill, and you learn either
the Mending cantrip or the Mold Earth cantrip.

Dust of Ruin
Beginning at 2nd level, you can release a wave of atrophy to
hinder your enemies. As an action you cause all hostile
creatures within 30 feet of you take a number of d4s of
necrotic damage equal to your druid level. Each target must
also make a Constitution save or their movement speed
becomes halved for 1 minute. Constructs caught inside this
effect must make the save at disadvantage, and the effect of
reduced movement can only be removed by a restoration
spell or by waiting the full minute. You regain this ability
after a short or long rest.

Corrode Metal
Starting at 6th, level you are able to wither simple metals.
You can spend 10 minutes to magically wear down any
nonmagical metal object inside of a 5 foot cube into an
unusable or easily broken state. You can do this up to a
number of times per day equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Children of the Earth

Druid - Circle of Ruin
The Circle of Ruin exists to serve as a reminder that while
the constructs of civilization may fall and succumb to dust,
nature is unending. Foolish kings build their castle walls to
last forever, yet every one of them crumbles beneath the
wind and the rain and is forgotten. An emperor may tame an
elegant garden for his palace, but long after he is gone, the
roots of the garden will turn over and claim his entire city.
Circle of Ruin Spells
Druid Level Spells
At 10th level you have learned to take on a hardened form
that honors the ground and the soil that serve as the world’s
foundation. Once a day you can expend both uses of your
Wild Shape ability to alter your body and gain the following
benefits:
You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to half
of your maximum hit points. These temporary hit points are
lost after reverting to your normal form.
You gain a burrow speed equal to your movement speed.
You may add your proficiency when making Constitution
saving throws.
You have resistance to poison and lightning damage and
are immune to slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning damage
from nonmagical attacks.
While in this form you are still able to cast spells, but you
make any Dexterity saving throws at disadvantage. The form
lasts for 1 hour or until you are knocked unconscious or
dismiss it as a bonus action.

Fighter - Haunted Conscript
The archetypal Haunted Conscript is a fighter with some
kind of connection to death and the Ethereal Plane. They
may be a retired soldier who has witnessed more than one
blood-stained battlefield, or a medic who shares in the final
moments of the lives of many, or perhaps they themselves
have died once before. No matter the reason, the souls of the
dead follow the conscript closely wherever they go.

Bonus Proficiencies
You gain proficiency with the medicine skill.

Risen Spirit
Starting at 3rd level, spirits of the dead tend to cling to you
and flock toward you in moments of despiration. You gain
the thaumaturgy cantrip, and now whenever you use your
Action Surge ability ghostly forms appear around you and
your target granting advantage to any attacks made as a part
of that action.

Rest in Peace
At 3rd level you are able to calm your body in order to take
in your immediate surroundings using a heightened sense.
Whenever you take a short or long rest you have 30 feet of
tremorsense and 10 feet of blindsight and cannot be
surprised by a melee attack. Even if you are not taking a
rest, you can enter this same meditative state by remaining
still for 10 minutes with your eyes closed.
Spectral Strikes
Beginning at 7th level, the spirits have grown to shadow
your attacks in the form of ghostly trails. Once on each of
your turns if you miss with any attack you reroll once to hit
instead with your weapon's ghostly trail. The trail takes on
the same form as the weapon you are using and uses the
same damage dice. If the trail hits, the damage is dealt as
force damage and uses your Constitution modifier instead of
Strength. Note that Spectral Strikes cannot land critical hits.
At 10th level you may reroll for your Spectral Strikes up to
twice on a turn, and at 15th level you may reroll once to hit
after any missed attack made on your turn.
Acceptance
At 10th level you feel kindred to the spirits that surround
you and an increasing affinity to the Ethereal Plane. You are
now immune to fear, and the first time after any rest that you
would gain a point of exhaustion you instead suffer no
negative effects. You must complete a long rest before
preventing exhaustion again in this way.
Scent of Death
Beginning at 15th level, death is no longer a deterrent to
you, but a reassurance. If any creature within 60 feet of you
or in your line of sight becomes unconscious, dies, or is of
the undead type you gain 10 feet of movement speed and a
+1 bonus to your attack and damage rolls.
Silent as the Grave
At 18th level, you have become practiced in assisting
haggard creatures into moving on to the next life. The first
time on one of your turns that you land an attack on a
creature that is prone the attack automatically becomes a
critical hit and also receives double the modifier damage
bonus. Once you use this ability it cannot be used again until
after a short or a long rest.

Monk - Way of
the Planar Flow
Monks of the Way of the Planar Flow are
those that have meditated at great length on
the living essence of the world encompassing
them. These monks do not simply feel ki and utilize it.
They have come to understand it, move with it, breathe it…
even see it.

Chosen Current Ambient Wellspring

Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to feel the flow of
ki outside your own body and have learned to connect to that
movement. As an action you can spend 1 or more ki points
up to half your monk level to surround yourself in
concentrated ki and hurl yourself in any direction. You
travel your full movement speed unless your path is blocked
by a creature or an object. Colliding with a creature or object
deals 1d10 force damage per ki point spent as the raw ki
dissipates, and a creature hit by this effect must make a
Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Ripple of Disruption
At 6th level you can reverse the natural flow of ki through
nearby creatures distorting their forms. As a bonus action
you can spend 2 ki points to touch the ki around you and
create a dissonant wave reaching up to 30 feet to another
creature. The target creature must make a Constitution save
or its resistances are negated, and its damage immunities are
each reduced to a resistance until the end of your next turn.
Beginning at 11th level, you can draw on nearby ki to
temporarily energize and strengthen your body. You can
spend 1 ki point to add your Wisdom modifier to any
Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution ability check. You must
spend your reaction to use this ability for a Strength,
Dexterity, or Constitution saving throw. You may use this
ability after rolling for the ability check or save but before
the outcome is determined.
Planar Sight
At 17th level you are able to gaze into the flow of ki in and
throughout all things. When you use this ability you gain
truesight for 10 minutes, and for the duration you may cast
the spells locate object and locate creature at will. You must
complete a long rest before using this ability again.

Tenets of Penitence
The tenets of the Oath of Penitence are sworn as often in
altruism as they are in remorse.
Know. Know that good and evil exist, as well as
neutrality. Chaos is an effect, and rarely the cause.
Measure. Measure everything around you, and act
accordingly. Only a fool lives without exercising judgment.
Guide. Guide those who need it, pray always, and
meditate for clarity when time allows you.
Punish. Punish all that require it. First the self, second
the brother, lastly the neighbor.
At 20th level, you are able to attune your physical presence
to the divine presence of your deity. For 1 minute you gain
the following benefits:
Your Channel Divinity: Moral Reflection now deals 1d10
psychic damage to good aligned creatures. That damage is
doubled for neutral aligned creatures, and evil aligned
creatures take triple the damage rolled.
At the beginning of each of your turns, roll a d6. Rolling
a 5 or a 6 recharges your Channel Divinity ability.
Any time a creature that you can see deals damage to you
or a friendly creature within 60 feet of you, a number of
psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier is reflected
back onto the attacker.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.

Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd
level, you gain the following
two Channel Divinity options.
Moral Reflection As a bonus
action, each creature you can
see within 30 feet must make a
Wisdom save. On a failure good
aligned creatures are charmed by
you, neutral targets are confused,
and evil creatures are poisoned, each
for 1 minute or until they save again.
Shared Lament As a bonus action you
can choose to take psychic damage equal
to your Charisma modifier and impose
disadvantage on all attacks made by hostile
creatures within 30 feet of you until the start
of your next turn.

The Tactician archetype champions a ranger’s aptitude for
ingenuity and preparation. A Tactician considers their mind
both their greatest tool and their greatest weapon.

correctly using this feature. You gain +1 to your total AC
provided by that armor.

Latent Flare
Beginning at 11th level, you learn how to subconsciously
store a burst of energy in each of your hands. If you are the
target of a weapon or spell attack you can use your reaction
to release one arcane flare at the attacking creature imposing
disadvantage on the attack. Your stored flares are recharged
after a short or long rest, but they are both lost if you
become unconscious by any means.

Know Your Enemy

At 15th level, the number of foes you are prepared to face
continues to grow. You select one additional favored enemy
and gain the benefits that go along with the feat including 1
new language. Additionally you now have advantage on
stealth ability checks when pursuing or avoiding any of your
favored enemies. This benefit applies to any group stealth
ability check if you are guiding the party.

Rogue - Specter
You are trained to be a ghost, to master the darkness, to fade
in and out of sight, and to pursue your quarry relentlessly.
Outlanders, killers, and agents for various factions thrive in
this archetype. This kind of rogue uses their opponents’
fears and limitations to gain the upper hand.
Seeing Ghosts
Starting at 3rd level, you are at home in the dark. You gain
60 feet of darkvision if you do not have it and 30 extra feet
if you already do. You also gain advantage on stealth ability
checks in either dim light or darkness.
Ventriloquist
At 3rd level, you have learned to cling to another creature’s
movement as it retreats. As a special reaction, when you
would normally make an attack of opportunity, you can
follow the target creature any distance up to your own
movement speed before making the attack.
Adventurers’ Appendices 1.0
Sinister Attacks
Beginning at 9th level, you prey on any
creature you catch unaware. When you are
hidden from a creature before landing an
attack on it, or if the target creature is
otherwise considered surprised, it must
make a Wisdom save or become
frightened of you. The effect has a save
DC of 8 plus your Intelligence modifier
plus your proficiency. A creature affected
by this ability may attempt to save again at
the end of each of its turns and cannot be
affected in the same way for 24 hours.
Spirit Walk
At 13th level, you begin to move as a whisper spoken in the
dark. As a bonus action or cunning action you can partially
fade into the Border Ethereal. While faded:
You can move through other objects and creatures as if
they were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 force damage
if you end your turn standing inside an object.
You do not gain a flying speed nor can you travel
through solid earth, instead your jump distance is doubled.
Attacks against you are made at disadvantage.
This ability lasts for 1 minute or until you drop it as a
bonus action and is regained after a long rest.
Sever Senses
Starting at 17th level, the onslaught of your attacks has a
chance to cripple an enemy. Whenever you land an attack
that lets you use your sneak dice the target must roll a
Constitution saving throw or become blinded. The DC for
the save equals 8 plus your Dexterity modifier plus your
proficiency bonus, with a minimum DC of 10. The target
can roll at the end of each of its turns to end the effect, and
once a creature recovers it cannot be affected in the same
way again for 24 hours.

Sorcerer - Fey Touched
Your innate magic comes from the free and
untamed heart of the Feywild itself. You may be
the child of a fey creature, you may have been there
before and been blessed by an archfey, or you may
have suffered a wound from a fey creature that
unintentionally imprinted its magic onto you.

Fey Touched Nature

At 1st level, your soul has had a mark of the Feywild
engraved on it. You gain the benefits of the Fey Ancestry
feat, and you move your regular movement speed in wooded
areas or forests considered difficult terrain. Furthermore
when you take your first level as a Fey Touched sorcerer,
you choose the origin of your magic as one of the following:
Seelie Court: You become proficient with the persuasion
skill and gain the create bonfire cantrip.
Unseelie Court: You become proficient with the
deception skill and gain the chill touch cantrip.
Independent Spirit: You become proficient with the
intimidation skill and gain the poison spray cantrip.

Wild Growth
At 6th level, you can bring an element of the Feywild
into the spells you cast. You gain a unique
metamagic where when you hit a creature with a
spell you can spend 1 sorcery point to cause the
spell to produce arcane vines that wrap around the
target and halve their movement speed for 1 minute
or until broken. Creatures caught in your arcane
vines must spend an action to attempt a Strength save
to break free. The save is made against your spell DC.

Faerie Recoil
Starting at 14th level, you can react to harm in the same way
a dangerous sprite would to preserve itself. If you are hit by
a weapon attack or a spell, you can use your reaction to
teleport 10 feet in any direction without triggering an attack
of opportunity. When you teleport away you release caustic
fireflies that swarm up to 10 feet from where you last stood
to a hostile creature, dealing a number of d4s of acid damage
equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). You
can use this ability number of times equal to your Charisma
modifier and regain those uses after finishing a long rest.
Wrath of the Feywild
At 18th level, you can use a bonus action and 5 sorcery
points to take on the form of a powerful being from the
Feywild, sprouting several 30 foot, snakelike vines that you
can use to move and attack with. For 1 minute you gain the
following benefits:
You travel using multiple vines, giving you a 30 foot
walking/flying speed within reach of any hard surface.
As long as you are traveling with your vines you are
under the same effects as the freedom of movement spell.
On your turn you may make a vine multi-attack as your
action. You control a number of vines equal to your
Charisma modifier that can either whip for 2d6 bludgeoning
damage, causing the target creature to make a Strength save
against your spell DC to avoid becoming grappled, or
constrict a grappled creature for 2d8 bludgeoning damage.
You must complete a long rest to use this ability again.

Starting at 6th level, you can channel energy from the
elements, even as they harm you. Whenever you take
elemental damage of any kind you can choose to become
hasted for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma
modifier. Coming out of this hasted state does not result in
exhaustion, but you instead take an additional amount of
rebounding damage of the same element and equal to your
Charisma modifier. You cannot use this ability again until
you take a long rest.

Purest Elements
At 10th level, the fire you control burns brighter and hotter,
the wind flows and bites faster, the stone is weightier and
harder, and the water and ice are crystal-pure blue. Any time
you cast a spell that deals at least one type of elemental
damage you may add you Charisma modifier to the total
damage roll. Elemental creatures under your control also
gain a +1 bonus to their attack and damage rolls.

Unravel
At 14th level, you are able to temporarily draw one element
at a time entirely out above the rest into a chaotic vortex. As
an action, you alter your own form and the surrounding 10
foot radius into a fluctuating elemental state for 1 minute. At
the beginning of each of your turns you roll a d6 to
determine the element drawn forth: 1 acid, 2 cold, 3 fire, 4
lighting, 5 poison, or 6 thunder. Any creature entering the
radius or starting their turn inside it takes 2d8 damage of the
current element. Elemental creatures you control take half
damage if they are caught within the radius. You also add
1d8 of the current element to the damage roll for any
weapon or spell attack you make for the duration of this
ability. Once the vortex has faded, it cannot be drawn again
until after you complete a long rest.

Wizard - School of Aberration
Most wizards study the arcane knowledge within the eight
schools of magic. Some curious few draw inspiration from
the schools of Conjuration, Enchantment, and Illusion as a
platform for studying magic itself. They are obsessed with
exploring the Weave – how it interacts with and affects the
world at large, how creatures interact with it, and ways to
test its very structure and boundaries. This path of study was
apprehensively nicknamed the School of Aberration.

Weave Connection
At 2nd level, when you tap into a strong enough arcane
channel your mind becomes acutely attuned to the Weave.
After you cast any spell of 1st level or higher you gain
advantage on the next Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma
save you may have to make before the end of your next turn.

Conscious Tether
Beginning at 2nd level, you have learned how to tie some of
the “threads” of the Weave to one another. When a creature
hits you with a spell or you hit a creature with one of your
spells, you can create a tether as a reaction. Through the
tether you are able to cast any spell on the location of the
creature you are connected to without requiring line of sight
and up to a distance of 120 feet. While it does not require
your full concentration you must make a Constitution save
whenever you take damage to maintain this link. You
can only have one tether active at a time.

Spell Shade
Beginning at 6th level, you have grasped how to pull
arcane energy from the negative spaces between the
fabric of the Weave. Once per short rest, when you
cast a Conjuration, Enchantment, or Illusion spell of 1st
level or higher you can release a small arcane tear in the
space where the spell was cast. The tear hovers in place
dealing 1d8 psychic damage to the nearest hostile creature
within 30 feet of it, and does so at the beginning of each of
your turns. This damage increases to 2d8 at 14th level. The
tear fades after a number of rounds equal to your
Intelligence modifier, but it is also able to be dispelled or Mind Fracture

Appendix:

Traps in the Hands of Players

Traps are commonly found already rigged in the wild or
installed in a building or dungeon. However, simple field
traps can also be made (see Ranger: Tactician) or purchased
in certain stores. For streamlined use of traps in the hands of
players, reference the following adapted guidelines:
Field Traps consist of three, maybe four, elements:
the difficulty, the trigger, the effect, and sometimes a
countermeasure. A purchased trap will already have its
difficulty to disarm set by the DM as a part of its design.
Field Traps come in one of three trigger types:
pressure-plate, tripwire, or a lever. Examples of these may
include a bear trap, a hunting snare, or a rigged box.
Field Traps are each designed to an intended effect:
to trigger conditions, to harm, or to deliver an item or effect.
A condition trap may be used to blind, grapple, or knock a
creature prone. A harming trap deals damage of one or more
types to any creature caught within the effect. A delivery
trap is used to remotely trigger the use of an item such as a
dust or a liquid. Note: some traps sold in stores have been
enchanted to trigger a spell effect or cause arcane damage.
Field Traps of the harming type deal a number of
d8s of damage based on their DC to disarm. Traps should
deal a minimum of 1d8 damage up to a DC of 10, adding an
additional d8 for every 2 DC above 10. So a harming trap
with a DC of 15 would deal 3d8 damage and a trap with a
DC of 20 would deal 6d8 damage.
Field Traps of the pressure-plate or lever type can
be placed using an action, while tripwire type traps require a
full minute to set.
Optionally, you can attempt to conceal Field Traps.
Hiding a trap requires 1 minute or 10 minutes (based on the
nature of the disguise) using the sleight of hand ability to
determine the difficulty for discovering the trap.
