Chapter 1: Species
cross the Mortal Realm are all manner of
A
species that have built up civilizations in the
continents of Iapyx and Ikarios. Iapyx in the
West, a land of innovative settlements, cities
and towns pushing the boundaries of what
the mortal mind can create. But, in the
quieter corners of the land, there are simple
joys being shared, languages spoken and exchanged.
Ikarios to the East, a place rife with metropolises built
with the basic pleasures of living in mind.
In these lands of splendor, people of varying cultures,
religions, and appearances thrive. From the human
minority to the yuansu’s massive empire of land in
Iapyx. From the vast jungles of the Quê-Huong where
callidryas reside under nearly every tree, to the isolated
underground tunnels of Muqasarad where the eremia
dwell in Ikarios. Each species and their cultures have
made a name for themselves in the Mortal Realm.
Choosing a Species
There is no such thing as a common or uncommon
species in the Mortal Realm. Whether in Iapyx or
Ikarios, everyone has a place in the world, and while
species will most often hail from their country or land of
origin, like an infernal born to their parents in Centras,
there’s a reason for everything. When you choose your
species, think about where you come from, the land of
your people, and what might have happened to bring
you to where you begin your story.
Your choice of species affects many different aspects
of your character. It establishes fundamental qualities
that exist throughout your character’s adventuring
career. When making this decision, keep in mind the
kind of character you want to play. For example, a
cordyan or a masquerader could be a good choice for a
sneaky rogue, an oni or auroch can make a tough
warrior, and a skog or a stormborn can be a master of
arcane magic.
Your character race not only affects your ability
scores and traits but also provides the cues for building
your character’s story. Each species’s description in this
chapter includes information to help you roleplay a
character of that species, including personality, physical
appearance, and features of society. These details are
suggestions to help you think about your character;
adventurers can deviate widely from the norm for their
species. It’s worthwhile to consider why your character
is different, as a helpful way to think about your
character’s background and personality.
Species Traits
The description of each species includes sepcies traits
that are common to members of that species. The
following entries appear among the traits of most
species.
Ability Score Increase
Every species increases one or m ore of a character’s
ability scores, and may also decrease a scores.
Age
The age entry notes the age when a m em ber o f the
race is considered an adult, as well as the race’s
expected lifespan. This information can help you decide
how old your character is at the start of the game.
Size
Characters of most species are Medium, a size category
including creatures that are roughly 4 to 8 feet tall.
Members of a few species are Small (between 2 and 4
feet tall), which means that certain rules of the game
affect them differently. The most important of these
rules is that Small characters have trouble wielding
heavy weapons, wielding them at disadvantage.
Speed
Your speed determines how far you can move when
traveling and fighting.
Language
By virtue of your species, your character can speak,
read, and write a certain language spoken in their
homeland. Common is a given for all species, since it is
a sort of universal language. If your character is not
originally from their species’ homeland, think about
what language they speak where they are from.
Subspecies
Some species have subspecies. Members of a
subspecies have the traits of the parent species in
addition to the traits specified for their subspecies.
Relationships among subspecies vary significantly from
species to species and world to world.

Cordyan
“NIBIRU SPEAKS, AND SO WE LISTEN,” A tall,
imposing humanoid mushroom man spoke in a shrill,
warbley sort of voice to me. He let me into town with a
wave of his hand, and I could swear I saw spores fall
from his fingertips. He allowed us entry into his inn, fed
us, gave us drink and information, but… I think he stole
some of my coins. Fair enough I suppose.
-Brygga Hrogyn, scholar, explorer, and traveling bard
Nibiru is all, and all is Nibiru. Cordyans are united in
their revelry in the dark. Like the shadows cast upon the
forest floor of their homeland of Vildmark, they take
pride in being cunning and often delve into the darker
parts of society.
Tainted Fungus
The Cordyans are a strange folk, in that they are almost
entirely made of fungi, whereas other races are either of
flora or fauna. It’s commonly accepted that the
Cordyans were once human in the far distant past, and
after being infected by a particularly aggressive and
psychoactive fungus, became as they are. They are
relatively tall, a minimum of 6ft tall, and a maximum of
over 7ft. They have slender bodies, too, similar usually
between muscular and thin. Their skin is reminiscent of
the various mushroom species across Iapyx
The Reign of Nibiru
As previously stated, the cordyans are descended from
humans who were infected with a fungus unlike any
other. This fungus acts as a hive mind of sorts, and
through hallucinations and mental influence, has rooted
itself as its own religion centering on the Great One,
Nibiru. Nibiru is an eldritch abomination, a being of
pure evil and malice, and worshipped by the cordyans. It
is said, in cordyan texts, that Nibiru is the true creator of
the mortal realm. But, Nibiru was forsaken by the
benevolent god Y’boocs, a being of goodness and health.
This god took the credit for the creation of the world,
and Nibiru was cast to the foul retches of the world,
never to return. But, the cordyans vow to bring back
their dark lord, the true creator. They often hold rituals,
shadowy meetings where numbers of monsters are
sacrificed, their evil blood ingested by the cordyans from
decorative silver chalices. The cordyans bask in the
Blight that Nibiru brings, coming from these small
portals which they have in their home city of Gahs. The
cordyans continue to this day to thrive in evil, hoping to
one day resurrect their dark lord Nibiru.
Dark Abodes
The main city of the cordyans, Gahs, is a fairly decent-
sized one. It is about a fourth the size of Centras, and
densely packed. Their homes are on the small side, but
they have wooden stairs and bridges going up the trees
they build their homes against, which lead them up and
up into larger buildings built higher up on the dark trees
in the Vildmark Wilds. These homes are crafted from
derfwood, a darkened tree that yields dark purple
planks and possesses incredibly dark brown bark.
These homes and the city itself is lit by way of jars of
firebugs, which glow a bright yellowish-green in the
twilit forest. Oftentimes the Cordyans will decorate the
outside of their homes with the bones of goblins or
other monsters, usually killed by their warriors.
Warriors of Shadow
The most common trade of the cordyans is that of the
assassin. Cordyans are given training in stealth and
cunning at a young age, and are gifted a dagger upon
their tenth birthday, for which to train further with.
Besides this, Cordyans make good tavern keepers and
hunters. But, most often than not, Cordyans will leave
their home when they come of age, and go into the
mortal realm to likely become a mercenary, a killer-for-
hire, or even a monster-hunter, contracted to kill
monsters that have overrun a village or town. They are
commonly thieves, stealing from each other in feats of
skill. For fun, the Cordyans enjoy gambling and combat
tricks, like knife throwing or acrobatic sparring.

first creatures to walk the mortal realm, who are also SteveSketches
attributed with the creation of the world. These were
the Drakes. The different types created the mortal
realm, and then fled underground to sleep for the rest of
time. In their image, they created the drakon, both as a
symbol of their power, and a reminder that the Drakes
are the true rulers of the mortal realm. This has led to
the common belief among the drakon that they are
superior to the other races, though this is not uniform
within them. There are ten different types of drakon,
coinciding with the different types of Drakes. These
types are the black, blue, violet, gray, copper, gold,
green, red, silver, and white Drakes. These different
types of drakon, are split apart from each other by their
trbes. There is no formal city, nor do they often
commune with each other, save for traveling to the
other areas of the Stamme Wilds to trade or get a drink
of stiff violet drakon ale. The drakon, as such, take care
to not associate with the other tribes too much, as doing
so may be construed as a sign of disrespect to one’s
own tribe by the chieftain.
Outsiders Unwelcome
The drakon are an isolated people, closed off from the
rest of the world in very specific ways. They believe that
outsiders, non-drakon, are lesser, not as intelligent or
even powerful. They do not participate in the Coalition
of Powers, though they may send an attendant every so
often. They don’t use the standardized metals system of
currency as well, instead using a gemstone native to the
Stamme Wilds that gold drakon act as treasurers and
bankers for. Unlike most other species in Iapyx, the
drakon do not have a formal military. Instead, they have
a reserve force of highly powerful mages called the
Emissaries Legion, which can be called upon in times of
need for the tribes of drakon that call the Stamme Wilds
their home. In the event of an invasion, all Emissaries
are called upon to defend. But, for the most part,
Emissaries are tasked with either protecting more at-
risk or valuable villages and guarding the borders of the
Stamme Wilds territory. Emissaries come from all
tribes, with red and green drakon making up the bulk of
the forces, especially on the borders.
When first joining the legion, an Emissary is selected
by their village elders and sent to the nearest green
drakon village. There, they are trained, and given a
choice between guarding the border, or guarding a
village. In the case of the former, they will make
residence in a silver drakon village and defend the
border at all times, sleeping in the night with the
knowledge they may be awoken to a call of duty at any
moment. In the latter, they will only know of the village
they’re stationed at after they’ve arrived there. Once
there they’ll get briefed on evacuation plans, defenses
already in place, etc. Emissaries are bound for life to
their duty, and defecting in any way is punishable by
torture for an entire moon cycle concluding in
execution.
SteveSketches
Tribal Magics
With the powers of the Drakes running through their
blood, the Drakon have an inclination toward magic.
While they have usual professions like tavern keepers,
general salesmen, armorers, and other such craftsmen,
they most often are some type of mage. They have a
knack for the mystical arts, often doing work with
potions and spells. As pastimes, the Drakon like to
travel the Stamme Wilds in search of rare bugs,
especially as hatchlings,and even traverse the whole of
the mortal realm. But, in the case of the latter, they
quite love to adventure, joining bands of other travellers,
in an attempt to prove their worth to the world. Cultures
differ from tribe to tribe, each having their own customs
and holidays.
Drakon Names
The given names of drakon often coincide with their
Drake ancestry, giving them names like Coldheart,
Fireblood, and Copperscale. As for their family name,
they earn it by way of feats their family has performed,
always starting with “the,” leading to family names such
as The Brave or The Cunning. Since the drakon are
tribal, their names, both given and family, usully tend to
represent their living Drake ancestor both in color,
power, and in value. For instance, a name for a red
drakon could be Firetongue the Brave, and a blue
drakon might be called Azure the Kind.
Drakon Traits
Your drakon character has many abilities, only
strengthened by their values and their powerful magical
ancestry.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases
by 1, and either your Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma
increase by 2.
Age. Young Drakon grow rather quickly. They are
able to walk hours after hatching, attain the size and
development of a 10-year-old Human child by the age of
3, and reach adulthood by 15. Despite their quick
development, they remain in adulthood for quite long,
living to be about 120 on average.
Size. Dragonborn are shorter than most other
species, standing below 4.5 feet tall and averaging
almost 80 pounds. Your size is Small.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Ancestry of the Drake. Being born from several types
of Drakes, the Drakon has a breath weapon and a
damage resistance in regards to a damage type of their
choice from the table.

Breath Weapon. When you take the Attack action on

your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with a
breath attack. Each creature in that area must make a
Dex save (DC = 8 + your Con modifier + your PB). You
can decide whether you breathe a 30-foot line or a 15-
foot cone.
On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 damage of
the type associated with your Drake Ancestry. On a
successful save, it takes half as much damage. This
damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level
(2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).
You can use your Breath Weapon a number of times
equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Cry of the Mighty Drake. As a bonus action, you let
out a cry at your enemies within 10 feet of you. Until the
start of your next turn, you and your allies have
advantage on attack rolls against any of those enemies
who could hear you. You can use this trait a number of
times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all Flavoring Your Drakon

Dryad
“YOU SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME,” Han said. He
couldn’t contain his scream as our guide through the
forest came from out of the treeline, as if she was made
out of it. Her hair was covered in leaves, and as I looked
closer, I could see a little mouse stuffing tufts of fur in
the strands of it.
She looked just like the tree, her skin a deep brown
color, with waves and valleys like bark. Her voice spoke
low, explaining to us where we were, and that it was
more than a wonder that we’d made it this far into the
Ironwood Forest without her.

-Libraphel, immortal Venturer.

Dryads are tall, but not as tall as the brilliant trees of the
Ironwood Forest that they call their home. They are
stoic, proud folk, and take great joy in the share and
spread of knowledge and the arts.
Walking Trees
Dryads, treefolk of the Ironwood Forest Region, are a
stoic and dignified race. They are either bulky,
appearing as muscular, or thin and lanky, and tall. The
color of their bark skin matches that of the tree they’re
descendant from, be that birch, spruce, oak, cypress,
etc. Their hair and in the case of men facial hair is
covered in leaves, taking on the color of whichever tree
they take the appearance of, and often become an array
of orange, red, and yellow in the autumn months of the
Ironwood Forest.
The men quite often have shorter hair than women.
The women almost always have long flowing leaf hair
which will sometimes have a nest of squirrels living in it.
Dryads can also meld with trees of the type they’re
descended from, becoming one with them, offering
great cover from the more hostile creatures of the
Ironwood Forest.
The Holy Seven
In dryad culture, the insects of the forest are considered
sacred, much like they are for the skog. This has
actually led to a feud between the two peoples, arguing
over which creation myth is correct. Though the two
races work together often in a mutually beneficial
relationship in the Ironwood-Anhet Concord, they are
constantly at odds with each other.
The dryads believe that a different seven insects were
responsible for the creation of the mortal realm. These
seven insects which created the world, made their
homes from the trees. Grateful to these trees, the
insects rewarded them by giving them sentience, giving
birth to the first of the dryads. These insects are as
follows:
The Ladybug : The holiest symbol, representing
beauty and grace, often worshipped as a symbol of
how life flourishes
The Fly: The Fly is a symbol of death and
destruction, and leans itself to worshipping combat
and war
The Spider: Often associated with trickery and
deception, the Spider symbolizes how cruel and
abhorrent the world can be
The Bee: Associated with technology and civilization,
the Bee is a strong symbol for those who wish to
constantly innovate and exceed expectations
The Mantis: Often considered to be the wisest and
most knowledgeable of the spirits, the Mantis is
associated with knowledge and truth. Those who
follow her cannot lie and cannot stand those who lie
The Cricket: Very happy-go-lucky and determined,
the Cricket is a symbol of those who wish to spread
cheer wherever they go
The Cockroach: Associated with undeath, those who
follow the Cockroach have a knack for staying alive,
and are often unkillable if they’ve gained enough
favor with this spirit
Equal Representation
The dryad’s government rule came into being just a few
years after other countries began to establish stable
governments. Led by Artur Ironwood, from the first
family of dryads which the Ironwood Forest is named
after, the Reuel Parliament was established. This
governing body was and is still to this day, made up of
the fifteen most noble families of dryads, each
representing a sector of the Ironwood Forest Region
civilization.
The house of the parliament, the Huorn Palace, rests
in the northernmost part of the region, and is
represented by the Ironwood family. This parliament
looks after laws and trade, and makes sure that the
dryads keep their place as a peaceful folk among the
Coalition of Powers.
The Ironwood Forest
The dense Ironwood Forest is made up mostly of trees
which have grown larger in size than those of other
forested regions, stretching into the sky. These trees
mostly include oaks and birches, but there are also large
spruces, maples, and even willows growing in the
region. Over several centuries, the dryads have created
a rich network of natural homes and buildings, even an
entire palace, made from trees and plants in the
Ironwood Forest.
The palace and the surrounding courtyard are made
from the strongest of woods in the entirety of the mortal
realm, wood from the fangom tree, which is sometimes
traded to the Skogfolk for use in crafting armor. Bearing
the name Huorn Palace, it houses the fifteen noble
families, as well as the House of the Reuel Parliament.
In the center of this city, there lies the square, a large
open marketplace where dryads can get together for fun
and trade. Every family of dryads has a “home tree,”
which they have fashioned into houses that up to five
members live in.
True Scholars
The drayd people are a united one, not dividing
themselves into classes like others. Any dryad individual
can go into any business, granted that it is not a
parliamentary position, as only the fifteen noble families
may do so. However, several professions are common
within the dryad society. Oftentimes, dryad men will
become part of the Garrison of Trees, the militaristic
force which defends the outer edges of the forest. Other
than soldiers, the men may become smiths, crafting
weapons from the metals in the forest ground, or
tamers, the individuals which go into the wilderness and
tame animals to bring back and use as livestock or as
creatures to be used for defense. The women often
become artisans, making luxurious forest jewelry and
sometimes woolen quilts.
One of the most popular forms of entertainment in
dryad culture is literature. Many members of the race go
out on quests into the mortal realm in order to find the
best of the best literature, works of written word they
deem complete and utter art. Some even, while rarely,
write their own pieces of work to be read all over the
Ironwood Forest Region, and in certain places in the
rest of the world. Sometimes, the most popular of these
works will be turned into plays, to be performed by
travelling actors that visit the famous Pineneedle
Theater, a performing stage in the southern part of the
Ironwood Forest.
Dryad Names
The family names of dryads are majorly based on the
kind of tree the Oakenblood family in question take the
appearance of, like Birchseed, Sprucebranch, and
Goldenleaf. But, the given name of each dryad
individual is wholly unique to them or borrowing from
any other culture in Iapyx.
Dryad Traits
Your dryad character is an imposing presence with
abilities tied to your nature as treefolk. You may embody
this notion or betray it.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases
by 1 and your Constitution score increases by 2.
Age. Dryads live longest of any other species, living
on average about 600 years, and reach the age of
maturity at 100 years.
Size. Dryads are on the whole, quite tall, growing to
on average 6.5-7.5ft tall, and weighing around 300lbs.
Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30ft.
Plantfolk. When determining how spells, abilities,
and other effects affect you, you are more akin to plants
than to humanoids. Your creature type is Plant.
Flammable. On account of your plantlike nature, you
are vulnerable to fire damage.
Taking Root. You have the ability to root your feet into
the ground to prevent yourself from being forcibly
moved as a reaction. However, the next turn, you cannot
move and must uproot yourself as a bonus action. You
can use this feature a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus and recover all uses on a short rest.
By doing this, if you are below your maximum hit
points, you also regain 1d4 hit points.
Photosynthesis. You do not need to consume food.
You instead get nourishment from sunlight. By standing
in the sun for an hour of sunlight, you are sustained for
the entire day. Without proper food, you will get fatigued
just as other species do.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common
and Alva. Alva is a deep language spoken from the
throat, with booming vowels and consonants that sound
like creaking trees.

Fianna
“WELCOME TO THE PALACE!” A small young man,
fianna, with white hair and red-tinged eyes, welcomes
us into a passageway leading underground. At first,
everything is dark, but soon a number of lights make
themselves known. Soon the whole room and all of my
compatriots are awash with dancing yellow lights, with
flecks of pink and purple and blue, some green too, all
swirling around in glass bottles strung from the ceiling.
-Bashuk al-Hadi, Venturer.
The fianna are a sort of druidic people. They take care
of the forest, bask in it, and are more reserved when it
comes to foreign policy. A noble, caring folk, the fianna
enjoy life, nature, and all they have to offer.
Deer Children of the Forest
The Fianna are incredibly similar to the deer which live
in the Alainn Forest they call their home. Their legs are
entirely deer-like, with fur and hooves. Their chests,
when older, are covered in fur as well, but remain bare
in their youth. Their ears are also deer-like, while their
faces are human, save for their noses, which have a
dark brown tip similar to most deer species. The Fianna
males and females are largely similar, both sporting
antlers, though female antlers are usually smaller.
Certain Fianna males will grow their antlers out much
faster, and larger, and will often enter positions of
nobility in society. The greater the size and/or
embellishment of the antlers, the higher up in the social
ladder a Fianna male is likely to be. This has resulted in
the decorative carving of the antlers, decoration in the
form of antler jewelry, and even synthetic wooden
antlers for those who cannot seem to grow theirs out.
Some males will also grow facial hair, but this is not
common. The female Fianna do not possess antlers,
and instead just have normal human hair, sometimes
braided. The fur and hair color of Fianna is the same,
and usually comes in shades of brown, from light to
dark, but very rarely there will be born an albino white
Fianna. These are shunned, however, most of the time.
The Hallowed Stag
In Fianna religion, called Herne, the belief in a single
creator of the mortal realm is standard. The Fianna
believe that at the birth of the mortal realm, the god
Herne, also referred to as the Hallowed Stag, was a
man who cultivated the infant world and brought life
into it. He created the Fianna from his own image, and
after the creation of the other races and creatures of the
mortal realm, vanished. Many years passed, and a
Fianna man by the name of Cernunnos, claimed to be a
prophet of the god Herne. He became the first king of
the Fianna people, and was supported by the nobility.
However, many believed him to be a false prophet, and
instead nominated their own king, who would later
become the second king, Uasal Fíorscoth. These Fianna
believed that the true Herne was never to return,
that he was too holy for the mortal realm, and
Cernunnos was an imposter. As such, only five years
after he begun his reign, the first king was murdered in
secret, and Uasal Fíorscoth took his place.
Since that time, there have been many kings. By the
Code of Herne, only a male Fianna may rule his people,
and as such there have only been kings in the
monarchy. The current king, Amadán Gasúr, is the
youngest to ever take up the throne, only 23 years of
age. His antlers are the largest in the land, and despite
his young age, he is quite largely built, standing at
nearly 7ft tall. As of recent, King Amadán has attempted
to mend the image of albino fianna, even taking one in
as his own advisor, a young man named Keelan.
The City of Briomhar
Lying on the western edge of the Alainn Forest Region,
the forest metropolis of Briomhar stands. The buildings
crafted from the finest stone and dirt, they stand spread
out over the whole of the city. Each home usually
houses about four Fianna individuals, but some larger
estates may house entire extended families and even
multiple families at once. Briomhar is a vibrant place,
decorated with bright green vines, brilliant lightly
colored flowers, and habited by the most colorful birds
in the mortal realm. The royal palace of the king, unlike
the other buildings in the city, lies under a massive fort
on the surface. Called Fort Herne in the god’s honor,
the underground rooms of the palace house several
lawmakers and the king and his entire family. It is
almost labyrinthian in its size and make. Homes of
Fianna are often attached to the stores or businesses
they run, and are labelled as much by the decorative
signs they place outside their doors.
Playful and Jovial
While Fianna males and females enjoy equality under
the king’s law, there are still loose gender roles often
attributed to them both. For instance, while males are
far more likely to be soldiers, wielding shortswords and
bows, there are several Fianna females that have taken
up positions as archers and the magical forces of the
Fianna are a heavily female dominated group. Though,
this may be because females are more inclined to
practice magic than males in Fianna culture. Other
Fianna male jobs may include armorers, mercenaries,
and hunters. Fianna female jobs often include cleaning,
cooking or waiting tables in inns and taverns or owning
them, artisans, and even sometimes just simple
housewives.
While the focus on nobility in Fianna culture may
make them out to be stoic and serious, this is actually
quite the opposite. One of the Fianna’s favorite pastimes
is pranks. The king himself, Amadán Gasúr, revels in
the pulling of such pranks. At a young age, the Fianna
often play a prank-like game where they pull another
child’s tail. The Fianna whose tail was pulled must then
go to their nearest elder and show them their hooves. If
the elder says something positive about the hooves, the
Fianna whose tail was pulled wins, if negative, the
Fianna who pulled the tail wins, and if nothing, neither
Fianna wins. As they get older, their pranks often get
either more elaborate, more dangerous, or both. At one
point, king Amadán Gasúr strung up his advisor from a
tree, while a vicious owl-bear swiped at him. All in good
fun, of course, as the owl-bear was actually a trained
mount from the military the king had borrowed for the
prank.
Fianna Names
Fianna given names are often that of words in the
Cervine language, like Cróga meaning brave, or Nóinín
meaning daisy. Family names, however, are passed
down from the oldest of the family, and usually are
related to a certain feat that elder performed which
earned their family respect.
Fianna Traits
Your fianna character has many strengths, making them
a true patron of the forest.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases

at most to the age of 150, and reach the age of maturity
at about 20 years.
Size. Fianna are about the same size as humans,
about 5ft to 6ft tall. However, there have been certain
male Fianna that have grown to stand at 7ft tall, such as
the fifth king, Daigh Gruagain. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

Human
“IF YOU SHOULD HAVE BUSINESS WITH THE
HOLY ORDER, THEN YOU ANSWER TO ME.
The Bishop is not accepting requests to parlay, but, you
are free to peruse the Holy Library,” a man clad in thick
plate armor in a dark silver color boomed as he led us
through the halls of some large temple. We were merely
there observing, but there was an air of theatrics
pungent through the whole place, as if no one would
take note of how mediocre they all are just by basking in
it.

-King Kraggath, 75th Infernal King of Inferis.

Humans are simple folk. Though they have a large
country and wealth in Centras, they rarely venture
beyond the Grand Wall. They hasn’t stopped some from
finding adventure, or adventure from finding them,
however.
Differing Ethnicities
Humans come in many forms, differing by the areas
they choose to inhabit. Skin tones can range from pale
to dark, to even darker. For the most part, humans in
Iapyx are nomadic, traveling the world, settling in
different countries for whatever their heart desires.
Because of this, they often do not have a unified culture.
The Creator’s Promise
Humans uniformly believe in a single creator,
appropriately and simply named Creator. The Creator is
described as a being of pure holiness, and one which
created the world in order to bring joy to the life in it. He
is responsible for the races of the world, making the
humans in His image. He also laid out a list of
commandments, of which there are eight, and which the
Humans follow and try to spread throughout the world.
They are:
“You shall do your duty; You shall help thy neighbor;
You shall seek to improve life; You shall seek out
diversity in all facets of life; You shall keep faith in your
Creator; You shall not betray your Creator; You shall be
a pillar of honor and nobility; You shall spread the word
of your Creator to the best of your ability.”
Many humans have travelled and inhabited other
parts of the world in an attempt to bring the word of
their Creator across the mortal realm. There is even a
group of holy warriors, the Holy Order of the Creator,
which guard the many towns and the walls of Centras’
main citadel.
Centras Commonwealth
While Humans do inhabit other regions, these homes of
theirs take on the look of whichever race’s homes they
are neighboring. But, the home of the Centras Region is
one wholly their own. The Centras Commonwealth,
ruled by a coalition of religious leaders known as the
Holy Order of the Creator, is a thriving metropolis.
Choosing to commune with their fellow Humans, the
Centras people have built tall buildings of stone and
wood, climbing up toward the skies. These act as sort of
apartment buildings, housing many different families at
a time. Besides that, there are many taverns, markets,
and craftsmen’s businesses about the city, of which is
very large and densely packed.
The country of Centras itself is one large city. A wall
surrounds the whole of the country, guarded by
thousands and thousands of knights of the Holy Order
of the Creator. Despite this unification as one city, there
are smaller villages and hamlets within the wall. These
smaller towns are often dedicated to the practice of
farming, livestock and crops, and some are even famous
in Iapyx for training some of the best smiths on the
continent.
 Master of None
The Humans are a very well-rounded race when it
comes to professions. They are anything soldiers,
smiths, artisans, shopkeeps, tavern owners, merchants,
and any other type of job. They often take great pleasure
in doing their work, relating to the first commandment
as laid out by the Creator. Besides prayer, Humans take
great joy in a number of things. While they often like
different things depending on the region of home, they
most often like music, ltierature, theatrics, and physical
games. This includes the Grande Rampart Games, a
sporting event taking place on the summer solstice each
year.
One thing that is known about humans is that they
have a harder time grasping the concept of magic. It
takes a significant amount of effort for humans to learn
and practice magic, even moreso to wield it powerfully
enough to fend off the threats of Iapyx. This has led to
the founding of the nine hunter families of Centras.
Their homes positioned on the outside of the wall in a
circle spread around it, these families each hunt a
different type of threatening creature, and each have a
Holder, who wields a powerful magic weapon.
Human Names
Human names range all over Iapyx. Usually, wherever
the human lives, they will have a name that reflects the
dominant society living there.

humans must be able to reach out to other races. You
know one language of their choice in addition to
Common and the language of your home region (if
you’re not from Centras).
Capable of Greatness. Humans while plain, have
immense potential, and as such can do anything their
hearts desire. At 1st level, you can take a Feat (as long
as they match the prerequisites for that Feat).
Inferal
“HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE INDUSTRY DISTRICT?”
King Gorkesh said. The king was not the imposing force
that we thought of him. He stood hunched over, horns
glistening and adorned with gold, a crown loosely sat
atop his head. It looked much too small for him,
however. “Please, you haven’t been to Inferis if you’ve
only just seen the Impuratus’ hold on my country.”
-Alwyn Harlig, skog Venturer and scholar.
The infernal are often looked down on. It’s said among
the other species and societies in Iapyx, that the
Infernal are descendant from a people who embraced
devils. While untrue, it has led to infernal as a people
either trying to evolve past their reputation, or live up to
it.
Demonspawn
The infernal are usually described, whether aptly or not,
as devilish in appearance. Their faces are often molded
in a scowl, blank, with pupilless white eyes. Their skin
ranges from shades of red to sometimes even blackish-
red. Upon their foreheads there are sharp horns,
sometimes growing from the sides of their temples,
appearing like ram horns. Their hair is most often black,
though there are some with dark red hair or even white
hair. From behind them they have a pointed tail, which
serves no other purpose besides being able to move
about like a limb.
The Seven Godly Vices
The Infernal are worshippers of Godly Vices. These
Godly Vices are believed by the Infernal to have
cultivated the Mortal Realm in past lives, when they
were pure, but as all things, were corrupted by sin. It is
by following these Godly Vices that they may heed their
cautionary tale and maintain balance within themselves
amidst the sins that exist in all mortal bodies, so as not
to face a downfall like they did. They are as follows:
Superbus the Vice of Pride: A man of supposedly
great power, who toted his magical abilities above all
others
Corneum the Vice of Lust: A woman who’s beauty
and grace captivated the land, and even caused a war
Iratus the Vice of Wrath: A destructive force of
nature, rumored to be able to fell an entire army in
one swing of his scythes
Esuriit the Vice of Gluttony: A man who was deemed
responsible for famines across the land he ruled
Aemulor the Vice of Envy: A woman who led a
genocide against humans, believing them to be
insignificant in her eyes
Avarum the Vice of Greed: A man who sought after,
and achieved, immortality, though brief
Otiosum the Vice of Sloth: A man who died from
sheer laziness despite discovering restorative magic
The Kingdom of Inferis
Named after the region where it stands, the great
Kingdom of Inferis is a city that thrives in darkness. The
buildings are tall and large, with awnings that
constantly cast a shadow across the cityscape. The
palace is the only building that has the most light, due to
the giant braziers constantly lit at its front gates. Apart
from these, there are huge numbers of torches
throughout the city, needed to keep the darkness at bay
for visiting races.
The city is considered a cesspool by most of the rest
of the mortal realm. It is known for its massive crime
syndicate, The Impuratus, along with being rife with
gambling, thievery, murder, and dark magic. While the
main city is a hive of scum, the surrounding villages are
often described as quaint. While they may partake in
drink more than is preferred, they are often very
welcoming and outside of the cloud of darkness that is
the main city in Inferis.
World’s Finest
Among the usual jobs, armorers and smiths and other
workers, the Infernal have a particular liking to
mercenary work. They often make the best warriors,
brutes, rogues and assassins, and are often hired to take
out high profile targets. Along with this, Infernal are
adept in the dark arts. They are often trained in the evil
magic of the mortal realm, in an attempt to connect with
their chosen deities of worship. On that, there is often a
statuette in every Infernal home, depicting one of the
seven deities with which the family aligns themselves
with. When embarking on a journey, an Infernal will
often take a handmade statuette or amulet bearing the
insignia of their god on it, crafted by their father’s
hands, and painted in part with their mother’s blood.
Infernal Names
The Infernal are often given names that mean deadly
things or strike fear in the hearts of targets in the
Daemonish language, like Bal’gadon, Mazrak, and
Azgillan. As for family names, they are instead titles,
earned by the father of the family and passed down from
generation to generation, like “The Fanged” or
“Skullcrusher.”
Infernal Traits
Your infernal character is thought to be a descendant of
sinful beings, and whether you rise above this or rise to
it, your prowess benefits from either.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases
by 1, and your Dexterity score increases by 2.
Age. The Infernal live long lives, living on average to
about 250, and reach the age of maturity around 20
years old.
Size. Despite their imposing look, infernal aren’t all
that tall, standing only about 5.5-6ft on average. Your
size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Hellvision. During the day your vision is normal and
pupils are nonexistent, but at night your eyes burn like
hot coals. 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. Infernal vision also is based on thermal sense
and can work in pitch black when tracking heat. Due to
your glowing eyes at night, you are easier at being seen
in the dark.
Flame’s Healing Touch. Once a day, you may choose
to heal 1d6 of health by way of contact with fire. This
can be from a bonfire, a spell cast on you, etc. In the
case of healing from an attack dealing fire damage, you
roll the 1d6 to reduce the damage taken from the attack
by the roll.
Tolerance. You have resistance to fire damage and
acid damage, and in addition, have advantage on rolls to
resist torture.
 Sinner’s Boon. Infernal may worship or take after one
of the seven Old Gods, and gain a special trait
depending on which they worship. Pick one of the
following:
Corneum’s Allure.* You may cast the Charm Person
spell once per day. Charisma is your spellcasting ability
for this spell and DC.
Superbus’s Ego. You gain proficiency in the
Performance skill. You also gain the ability to cast
Compelled Duel a once per day. Wisdom is your
modifier when determining spell save DC for this spell.
Avarum’s Greed. You gain advantage on Persuasion
rolls when buying or selling. You also have the ability to
cast Distort Value once per day. Charisma is your
modifier when determining the spell save DC for this
spell.
Iratus’s Rage. You can take a bonus action to switch
to a feral stance; in this stance Strength is increased by
2 and you can make 2 attacks per action, but you are
unable to make any Wisdom attacks/checks and have
disadvantage on Wisdom saves while in this stance. The
stance lasts for 2 turns (including the turn used to enter
this stance). Once the stance ends, you take 1d6 psychic
damage. You can use this ability once per day.
Esuriit’s Hunger. You get the ability to once a day
devour a carcass they or someone else has killed, or
that is found. Doing this heals you the number of hit
points equal to your proficiency bonus x2. This must be
done outside of combat and can only be used once a
day.
Otiosum’s Laziness. As an action, any Infernal
worshipping Otiosum can choose one benefit of a long
rest to apply to a short rest. You can also choose to gain
a number of temporary hit points equal to your
proficiency bonus+your level by forfeiting your turn in
order to sleep. In doing this, you fall unconscious. You
can use this ability once per day.
Aemulor’s Jealousy. You may once a day choose as an
action to instantaneously swap places with an enemy
you can see.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common
and Daemonish. Daemonish is harsh, almost angry-
sounding.
Nephilim
“WELCOME TO PATRIAM, WEARY ONE.” It was like
I had died and was transported straight to the Realm of
Paradise. My muscles ached, but I was treated
immediately by a young woman with brilliant white
wings, as brilliant as the marble statue in the center of
town that I’d passed by. I can’t imagine why anyone
would ever want to leave this place.

-Brygga Hrogyn, scholar, explorer, and traveling bard

The nephilim are a radiant and pure people. They are
skilled martial artists, kind souls, and welcome most
anyone into their home if they have need of it.
Heavenly Light
The nephilim are a radiant may appear human upon
first meeting them, but their most identifying trait is
most certainly the luxurious wings sprouting from their
shoulder blades. These wings are always a bright white,
except in the case of the Herald of Light, who possesses
golden shimmering wings, and the Lightfinder, who
possesses silver wings.
The skin tones of the nephilim are most often pale
white, though some have been born with slightly more
tan skin. Most of them have fit frames on account of companions, friends, with the Herald of Light, and was
discipline and training. Their hair is always either white tasked with guiding the next Herald of Light once the

arrival of a second sort of herald, known as the
Lightfinder. Elsewhere in the first little town of the
nephilim, about four years after Theliel was born, there
was born a baby girl, Naomi, born with shining silver
wings. The Lightfinder was to always become loyal
The City of Patriam
In the northernmost section of the Salutis Region, there
lies the brilliant city of Patriam. This city started as the
first town the nephilim inhabited, and where the first
Herald of Light was born. It is a beatiful city, crafted
over many years from the finest marble to be found in
the mortal realm. The city is about as large as most
other citadels. It is surrounded by smaller homes of
wood, the same type which dot the landscape all over
the rest of the Salutis region in its other parts.
In the center of the city, there stands the Chapel of
Light, where once a year, the entirety of the practicing
nephilim population makes a pilgrimage to go and pray
to the Herald of Light and Lightfinder. However, in
recent years, some nephilim have elected to not
participate in this tradition, instead continuing to roam
around Iapyx and Ikarios at their leisure.
Fighters and Pacifists
While there is, of course, regular jobs for the nephilim
such as armorers, trainers, soldiers, craftsmen, and
religious figures, there is one job which is highly sought
after unlike the rest. Every nephilim receives disciplined
training in martial arts when they are young. But, if they
wish to gain even more training, they can take up the
job of Bellator, the fiercest warriors in nephilim culture.
These are given special tasks by the Herald of Light and
Lightfinder to protect the peace of Salutis and defend its
people.
A favored pastime in nephilim culture is that of
acrobatics. They quite enjoy doing tricks for each other,
whether that be in the comfort of their homes or on a
great stage for higher-ups in society. They can do many
things, especially given their ability to fly, and take great
revelry in this act. The nephilim are on the whole a
peace-loving race, preferring not to fight and instead
negotiate, but there are of course exceptions to this.
Among the smaller things they enjoy, they particularly
like riddles, tea, painting, and singing.
Nephilim Names
Nephilim believe that they all share blood, and as such,
do not typically possess family names. However, they do
have given names that they refer to each other by, and
these are often quite eloquently spoken, meaning
certain phrases in Lumen. Like Orphamiel or Asuriel.
Nephilim Traits
Your nephilim character is a shining beacon to those
that need them, and have abilities that aid them in
keeping peace and order.
Ability Score Improvement. Your Dexterity score
increases by 1 and your Strength score increases by 2.
Age. Nephilim are a short-lived race, living to at most
a little over 100 years, and reach the age of maturity in
their early teen years.
Size. Nephilim are about human height, around 5ft to
over 6ft tall, and usually around 150lbs. Your size is
Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30ft, and you have
a 15ft fly speed due to your wings.
Holy Resilience. You are quite indomitable, having
resistance to both necrotic and radiant damage.
Martial Arts Training. Being trained at a young age in
martial arts you gain proficiency in Acrobatics. In
addition, the you unarmed strikes deal 1d4 bludgeoning
damage.
Lumen’s Touch. Given the gift of Lumen, you have the
ability to use the Light cantrip.
Healing Hands. As an action, you can touch a
creature and cause it to regain a number of hit points
equal to your proficiency bonus. Once you use this trait,
you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common
and Lumen. Lumen is a breathy, softly flowing tongue.

Oni
“DON’T TEST ME, HUMAN, OR YOU’LL FEEL YOUR
SKULL ON YOUR TONGUE,” an oni, red skin and
about a foot and a half shorter than me, screamed with
tusks pointed down glistening with spit. He had raven-
black hair and a spiked club I’ve never seen before. But,
here he stood, threatening my kind yuansu host,
claiming to be able to raze the village to the ground.
-Ingrid Fendler, current Holder of the Fendler family
Oni are known infamously throughout Iapyx and even
Ikarios for being marauders, raiders, and loving of
wanton violence. Despite being civilized, albeit
isolationist on their own island, they have a reputation
for conquering parts of the mainland Iapyx continent,
namely land belonging to yuansu. They are powerful
and brutish, but can be welcoming to those that prove
themselves.
Small, Strong, and Feisty
Oni are smaller than other species, but are often
muscular and strong, both thanks to their warrior
heritage, and their fighting culture. They often tattoo
their bodies as indication of their accomplishments, or
to show what family they belong to. Oni hair is typically
spiked and styled in ways that symbolize their wild and
erratic nature, and grows around their horns,
Those who wish to climb the ranks may attempt to grow
out their hair to mimic the social standing they desire.
Oni have various skin colors: green, blue, and red are
most common, though there are rarely seen gold and
white oni, and extremely rare black oni as well, so rare
that nobody has been able to prove they’ve seen one
beyond the depictions of the oni’s deity. These skin
colors are indicative of the class system on Sokoku and
within oni culture.
Strict Class-Based Society
Oni have a heavily class-based society, using an oni’s
skin color to show their class. Gold or white oni lead
cities, towns, and military organizations. Red oni often
hold similar authority positions as white or gold, or lead
tribes of roving oni to conquer land. Green oni are
middle class of sorts, finding work as artisans or
warriors or even medics. Blue oni, however, are the
lowest class, finding jobs as grunts or general laborers.
To be branded blue is a terrible disappointment to one’s
peers and family.
While Oni are born the same skin color as their
parents, there are ways to climb the ranks and earn a
more favorable skin, such as saving a higher ranking
Oni, killing a creature deemed legendary by red or white
Oni, or fighting, and winning, an honor match against a
higher ranking Oni. This change of skin is done through
magic so that it acts as genetic. Using magic is a rare
occurrence for the Oni, and as such, the mage who
performs this ritual holds a special title and is
automatically a gold oni, and the only oni that is allowed
to practice magic.
The Worship of Tenshinko
Tenshinko, the legendary black oni, is revered in oni
society as the pinnacle of what an oni should be: strong,
fearless, an expert with blunt weapons, and the light of
any social gathering. Legend claims that she once held
an empire so large it engulfed half of the continent
neighboring the oni’s home island of Sokoku, and when
it was torn down, the oni were left with nothing but
what they began with. She is the closest thing to a god
that the oni believe in, and she is what every self-
respecting oni strives to be like.
As such, oni are constantly training themselves to be
the strongest, fastest, and hardest hitting person in the
room, and only use bludgeoning weapons as part of
their morals. Additionally, magic is considered a crutch,
and is heavily frowned upon, to the point that those
caught practicing magic to an egregious degree will be
branded blue for their heresy. Magical weapons,
however, are considered to be gifts from Tenshinko

Sokoku and the Tenshin Empire
The Sokoku region, the oni’s home island, is a fairly
well-developed land, with forests, plains, and a small
city to the north where most oni call home. They live
under a coalition of gold, white, and red oni, who decide
the land and people’s laws, morals, and often times
their place in life. Members of this coalition are made up
of representatives from different territories and the A Culture of Might

shown on the island and surrounding islands. Oni Names
Oni are typically given placeholder or family names at
birth, such as Udeshukoi, Geshkihana, and Yoakarhi.
However, when an oni comes of age, they typically
rename themselves, often basing their name on their
greatest achievement in life, or taking the name of
somebody they respect or admire, in hopes of living up
to said name and bringing more honor and glory to it,
such as Dorakshujin, Tokohak, Honoashka, and
Jinkahke.

of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all
expended uses when you finish a long rest, and you can
use it no more than once per turn.
Tenshin Empire’s Favorite. Tenshinko was most well
known for her weapon; a kanabō imbued with the power
to fell a mountain. As an oni, and one who lived among
followers of Tenshinko, you gain proficiency in any
weapon that deals bludgeoning damage, and start with a
kanabō as part of your equipment.
Kanabō
Martial melee weapon, heavy, two-handed, Common

The kanabō is a large club-like weapon with metal rivets

or spikes put into the head of it. It is a martial weapon
with a range of 5ft, and deals 1d12 bludgeoning damage
on a successful hit.
Chapter 3: Classes and Subclass Options
Sifu
A massive wave of rocks and dust spreads in a circle,
leveling an entire regiment of oncoming oni warriors.
They shout and scream as their kanabō clatter to the
ground. Standing in the rubble, a terran yuansu exhales
calmly, his robes pristine in the wake of such elemental
power, and unclenches his fist.
An auran yuansu breathes in and out, in and out,
before bringing their hands down and spinning a ball of
wind at their feet. They jump onto it and zip around the
battlefield with ease. No one can keep track of them,
they move too fast, until it’s finally too late. A soldier
seemingly begins to choke on the air itself, as the
yuansu steadily pulls the air from their lungs.
Carefully, an aquan yuansu pulls water from a nearby
vase, holding it to the wounds of her injured party
member. She reassures him that he won’t die here in
this wasteland to a pack of monsters. He begins to
groan as his body aches subside, and he gets back up
onto his feet, sword in his hand, ready to take on any foe
in his way with the yuansu and her fury like the waves at
his side.
Everything Flows Through Chi
Yuansu are unique in the Mortal Realm as the only
species that cannot use magic. They are not powerless,
however, as they bend the will of the very elements
themselves. Yuansu harness a power called chi, the
energy that binds the elements to the Mortal Realm.
Aquan yuansu control water, Ignan yuansu conjur fire,
Terran yuansu control earth, and Auran yuansu control
the air. As sifus grow and use their abilities, they
discover new and more powerful ways of using these
elements to get the upper hand.
Masters of the Elements
Sifus are firm believers that everything, including each
individual elements, are connected together. Sifus are
peaceful when they can be. But, when things become
too dire that peace is not an option, they will bring the
fury of the elements down on their foes with a swiftness
unrivaled.
Sifus will often become venturers to aid the world,
bring balance to the peoples of the Mortal Realm, and
hone their abilities to the point they are nearly
unstoppable. Sifus might have any number of
motivations beyond this, but above all they are a force of
nature personified, and they take care that the world
knows it, whether good or bad.

Creating a Sifu Saving Throws: Intelligence, Strength

As you create your sifu character, think about your
connection to the elements and where you learned your
skills through the years. Did you learn the ways of your
element under the watchful eye of your master? Did you
discover the power of your element on your own?
Consider why you choose to be so connected to your
element. Did your element provide you with solace in
dire times? Perhaps your skills saved the ones you love,
and you wish to spread that to the rest of the world. Is
there something specific you hope to accomplish away
from home?
Quick Build
You can make an sifu quickly by following these
suggestions. First, make Wisdom your highest ability

background.
Class Features
As a sifu, you gain the following class features
Hit Points
Hit Dice:1d10 per elementalist level
10 + your Constitution modifier
Hit Points at 1st Level:
Hit Points at Higher Levels:1d10 (or 5) + your
Constitution modifier per elementalist level after 1st
Proficiencies
Armor: None
Weapons: Simple weapons, shortswords
Tools: Choose one type of artisan’s tools
Elemental Strike
At 1st level, your practice with your element allows you
to blast an opponent with an elemental strike. You can
use your elemental strike when you make an attack.
Your elemental strike has the following properties:
You roll a d6 for the damage of your elemental
strike. This die changes as you gain sifu levels, as
shown in the Elemental Strike column of the Sifu
table. Your elemental strike deals bludgeoning
damage.
Your elemental strike is a ranged weapon with a
normal range of 20 feet, or a long range of 60 feet.
When attacking a target beyond normal range, you
have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can’t attack
a target beyond the strike’s long range. Despite being
a ranged weapon, you do not have disadvantage on
attack rolls with your elemental strike when a hostile
creature is within 5 feet of you, nor when attacking a
creature that is prone within 20 feet of you.
You can use Strength instead of Dexterity for the
attack and damage rolls of your elemental strike.
When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you can
choose to avoid killing them with your elemental
strike, leaving them unconscious.
When you take the Attack action with a weapon with
which you have proiciency on your turn (including
your elemental strike), you can make one elemental
strike as a bonus action.
Chi
Starting at 1st level, your training allows you to harness
the mystic energy of chi. Your access to this energy is
represented by a number of chi points. Your sifu level
determines the number of points you have, as shown in
the Chi Points column of the Sifu table.
You can spend these points to fuel various elemental
forms. You start knowing one Simple form (1 chi point),
and depends on your subspecies: Temperature
Regulation for Ignan, Air Scooter for Auran, Air Bubble
for Aquan, and Seismic Sense for Terran (all elemental
forms are detailed in Chapter 10: Elemental Forms).
You learn more elemental forms and levels of forms as
you gain levels in this class. You require at least one of
your hands to be free to initiate any form.
When you spend a chi point, it is unavailable until you
finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw
all of your expended chi back into yourself. You must
spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to
regain your chi points.
After a long rest, you may switch out your current
forms for forms you’re able to initiate based on your sifu
level.
Your elemental form attacks count as magical for the
purpose of overcoming resistances. Some of your chi
features require your target to make a saving throw to
resist the feature’s effects. The saving throw DC is
calculated as follows:
Chi save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Wisdom modifier
Deflection
You can spend 1 chi point as a reaction to deflect or
dissipate an elemental strike, weapon attack, or spell
attack that would deal damage to you. When you do so,
the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10
+ your Wisdom modifier + your Sifu level.
Power Blow
When you hit an enemy with an elemental strike, you
can spend 1 chi point to force the enemy to make a
Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the enemy is
pushed 10 feet away from you.
Surprising Angle
When you make an attack against a creature with an
elemental strike, you can spend 1 chi point to hit the
target from any angle, not simply in a straight line. This
allows you to ignore the effects of any amount of cover
except for total cover.
Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you begin to develop your own fighting
style. Choose one of the following options. You can’t
take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you
later get to choose again.
Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with
ranged weapons.
Power Strikes
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for your
elemental strike, you can reroll the die and must use the
new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2.
Superior Range
The short range of your elemental strike is increased to
30 feet, and its long range is increased to 90 feet.
Elemental Forms
At 2nd level, you begin to wield absolute control and
authority over your element. In addition to basic effects,
you learn amazing powers to drive your foes before you.
Form Levels

Forms Known
You know three 1st-level forms of your choice from your
element’s form list.
The Forms Known column of the Sifu table shows
when you learn more forms of your choice. Each of
these forms must be of a level that you know. For
instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can
learn one new form of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you
can choose one of the forms you know and replace it
with another form from your element’s form list, which
also must be no higher than your maximum form level.
Initiating Forms
Your forms are chi features, and so you must spend chi
points to initiate these forms. You spend the number of
chi points shown on the Form Levels table in order to
initiate a form.
Most forms have enhanced effects, which you can
initiate by spending additional chi points when you
initiate the form. Each additional chi point you spend
increases the form’s level by 1.
You cannot spend chi to initiate a form at a higher
level than your maximum form level, as shown in the
Maximum Form Level column of the Sifu table.
Elemental Barrage
At 3rd level, your Elemental Strike can now be used as
a bonus action a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus per long rest.
Unyielding Vow
Choose an unyielding vow, which describes the
emotional and spiritual way that you use your elemental
abilities: Fury, Wildness, Peace, and Connection,
detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice
grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and
again at 6th, 14th, and 18th level.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th,
and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of
your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores
of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an
ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of
once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Wise Fighter
Beginning at 6th level, you can add your Wisdom
modifier to your initiative rolls.
Restful Spirit
Beginning at 7th level you spend at least 1 minute
resting, you can give yourself all the benefits of a short
rest. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a long rest.

If you drop to 0 Hit Points, you can spend 4 chi, roll

Hit Points instead changes to the total rolled. Each time
you use this feature after the first, the chi cost increases
by 2. When you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest, the chi
cost resets to 4.
Unyielding Vows
When a Sifu reaches a level of power above most
novices, they make a decision, a promise, a vow to
themselves about how they will use their awe-inspiring
abilities for whatever reason they so choose. Think
about your Sifu, what drives them when they take this
vow, and how they use it to wield their element.
Vow of Fury
You have a goal and are so determined to complete it
that you will not allow your enemies or your physical
limits to get in your way. Whether it is sworn vengeance,
your conviction to rescue a loved one, or a conviction to
protect the world from the grasp of an evil beyond
comprehension, you gain your strength and inhuman
resolve through your raw determination and rage. You
gain the following class features.
Vow of Wildness
Animal Style
At 3rd level, you gain one of the following features of
your choice.
Monkey Swing. You can move through the spaces of
hostile creatures, regardless of size.
Mantis in the Grass. You can use the Hide action as a
bonus action on your turn.
Turtleduck Shell. Your base AC becomes 13 + your
Dexterity modifier if you are not wearing armor.
Wing of the Crane. You can use your Deflection chi
feature without needing to spend chi points.
Vow of Peace
There is power in peace. Whether someone taught you
this lesson or you figured it out yourself through many
years of isolation, Sifus whose primordial connection is
that of peace try to focus on that quiet in the center of
chaos, drawing their strength from tranquility around
them. You gain the following class features.
ITEMS, TRINKETS, AND

A
someone’s back, is made from a soft brown
cloth and contains glass orbs that clink
against one another when moving. Inside
the bag, the orbs appear to be made out of a
clear glass, and somehow filled with a
strange, shimmering liquid. The color of
this liquid varies between the orbs and can be red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, or clear.
Activating the Bag
You can use an action to pull a random glass orb from
the bag and throw it up to 20 feet, or smash it where
you are standing. When the orb lands, it shatters, and
the effect of the orb spreads in a 10ft radius. Roll a d8
on the Orb Table below to determine the effect of the
orb upon shattering. The bag contains 1d6 glass orbs,
and once the bag is emptied, the orbs do not return to
the bag for a week.

1 Pink Liquid: Creatures in the AOE heal 2d4+2 hp.
2 Green Liquid: Creatures in the AOE take 1d6 poison

affected’s turns, while poisoned in this way, they take
1d6 poison damage. At the end of each of the affected’s
turns, repeat the saving throw. On a successful save, the
poison damage taken on subsequent turns ends and
they are no longer poisoned.
3 Clear Liquid: Creatures in the AOE become invisible for
1 hour. Anything worn or carried is also invisible. The
effect ends early if the creatures affected attack, cast a

4 Orange Liquid: Creatures in the AOE take 1d6 fire

are within the AOE. A creature can end this damage by
using its action to make a DC 10 Dexterity check to step
out of the flames. The flames last for 1d6 turns.
5 Purple Liquid: The thrower is instantly teleported to an
unoccupied space within the 10ft radius of the AOE
when this orb shatters.
6 Blue Liquid: Creatures in the AOE must succeed on a

Petronius

A
sentient blade that is believed to house the
soul of the last person to wield it, an
infernal man who served the king as
treasured advisor. This advisor was
described as a hedonist, a playboy, and a
witty charmer.
Though, his charm could only get him so
far, as soon his dealings with a political rival of the king
would be found out. Always the cunning one, the advisor
decided to end himself with his own sword. He sliced
his veins with the sword, then bound them before he
threw a lavish party where he made merry, gave gifts,
and dined on gourmet food and drink. After the party, he
retired to his room and reopened his veins one last time.
Properties of the Sword
In order to attune to this longsword, the wearer must
have a Charisma score of 14 or higher.
While wielding this longsword, it gives the following
