Volo’s Stolen Notes
CAN YOU BELIEVE HE'D JUST LEAVE THIS STUFF LYING
around? And "stolen" is a bit misleading, really. I did-
n't steal anything. He's the one who left it on the table
after all. I just found it and cleaned it up a bit.
But then again, "decipherer of terrible handwriting
and ignorer of ale stains" doesn't exactly roll off the
tongue. And it doesn't sound nearly as enjoyable as
being the Scholar Thief.
—The Scholar Thief
When researching for his hit publication, Volo's Guide to
Monsters, Volo noted down quite a lot of other, miscellaneous
information as well. But ultimately, much of this knowledge
was deemed too scattered to include. Who actually wants to
know of the omen-reading methods of the orcs? Or the
wrestling habits of the firbolg?
Obviously someone, seeing as the discarded notes vanished
almost as soon as they were thrown away.
NPC Feats and Player Characters
Some of the feat options presented here are intended primarily
for a Dungeon Master building a NPC using the same systems
that players use to create their characters. This allows for a NPC
made in this fashion to inherit some traits from the statblocks
given for creatures like them in the Monster Manual or other
sourcebooks.
For more on building NPCs using these feats, see the section
on NPC Feats below. Additionally, some players may want to use
these feats for their own characters. The ultimate decision is up
to the Dungeon Master, but keep in mind that many of these
NPC Feats come with drawbacks or difficult requirements and
restrictions, and so may not be feasible for a player character to
obtain.
For NPCs
Of course, the player characters' party should never be the
only ones to have unique traits. Just like adventurers, NPCs
come from many different backgrounds. Many NPCs do not
even need full statblocks, but characters such as antagonists or
companions, those who are likely to see combat, may need
more nuance than a monster's statblock normally affords.
When designing a NPC in this way, the following feat
options can help by strengthening that character's connection
with their people.

WHETHER RECLUSIVE LIKE THE FIRBOLG, OR OUTGOING
like the tabaxi, everyone is unique. Besides the gener-
alities listed elsewhere, many groups have small things
that differentiate one member from another.
Not every yuan-ti is gifted with the ability to summon

some are, and so we have our topic.
— Volo, first draft of Guide to Monsters
The main focus of Volo's Guide to Monsters is cataloguing
rare or unusual creatures and giving insight to the thought
processes and cultures of beings called "monsters" by most;
beholders, illithid, and similar creatures. Despite that, Volo
also researched into the many differing variations present in
less monstrous beings.
Below are the results of those findings, ultimately cut from
the final guide. From bugbears to tritons, the following feats
represent many subtle differences among members of the
same species.
•
•
Increase your Strength by 1, to a maximum of 20.
Your range with thrown weapons without the Finesse
property increases by +10/+20.
• When grappling a target at least one size smaller than
you, you can throw them up to 15 feet as an action,
knocking them prone when they land.

minutes and can revert to your own body with a bonus action.
You also revert if your familiar is reduced to 0 hit points.
When you change back you reappear in the snake's space,
unconscious and stabilized at 0 hit points. You must finish a
long rest before you can use this ability again.

Deadweight Toss

Years of wrestling with your kin in your youth have taught
you a few tricks when it comes to grappling. You gain the

Giantkin Wrestler
Prerequisites: Firbolg or Goliath, Strength of 13 or higher
Your naturally large stature and Giant-like physique allow
you to easily match creatures larger than yourself in wrestling
and contests. You gain the following benefits:
• Increase your Strength by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You gain proficiency in Athletics. If already proficient,
you now add your proficiency bonus twice instead of
once.
• When grappling, you count as one size category larger
than you are.
• When grappling a single target your size or smaller, you
can use your action to pin them. You become prone, and
your target becomes prone and restrained. They may still
make checks to escape. The condition ends if you stop
grappling the target or stand up.

Legionnaire’s Command
Prerequisite: Hobgoblin
You are accustomed to barking orders to improve the
performance of your followers. As a reaction when a creature
you can see within 30 feet makes an attack roll or saving
throw, you can allow them to add a Leadership die, which is a
d4, to the roll.
A creature can benefit from this effect only once per turn.
You may use this ability twice, with spent uses recharging
after a short or long rest.

Orcish Omens
Prerequisites: Orc, Wisdom of 13 or higher
You are skilled at discerning the signs and messages of the
Orcish gods. At the end of a rest, you can spend 10 minutes

3
searching for omens of the gods.
When you do so, roll 1d6 on the table below. The omen
lasts for 8 hours or until it is used. After the omen ends, you
cannot gain a new omen until you have finished a long rest.
d6 Omen of…
1 Shargaas. Add 1d8 to one skill check.
2 Yurtrus. Add 1d8 to one saving throw.
3 Luthic. Roll 1d8 and gain as temporary hit points.
4 Bahgtru. Add 1d8 to one damage die roll.
5 Ilneval. Add 1d8 to one attack roll.
6 Gruumsh. Add 1d10 to any one roll, check, or save.
Orcs on Other Worlds
The omens listed in the Orcish Omens feat are based off of the
gods listed in Volo's Guide to Monsters. However, orcs are found
on many worlds and some may lack a connection to the orcish
pantheon used here.
One particular example of this is in the world of Eberron,
where the violent Gruumsh and his allies are absent and the orcs
developed differently as a result. When playing in an Eberron
campaign, you might replace the various names of orcish gods
with aspects of nature. This would reflect the lore of the orcish
Gatekeepers and represent the natural omens that guide the
druids in their struggle against aberrations from Khyber.

Purifying Constitution
Prerequisite: Triton
Poisons and toxins are common below the waves, and some
areas are even more befouled. To counteract this, you gain the
following benefits:
• Resistance to acid and poison damage.
• Advantage on saving throws to avoid becoming poi-
soned.
• You can rehydrate with either fresh or sea water.
• You can safely drink and rehydrate with any liquid so
long as it is of a drinkable temperature and is at least
50% water (such as muddied or polluted water, alcohol,
and similar liquids).

Speak with Head

Prerequisite: Bugbear
Through dedication to your gods, you have the ability to
coerce information out the remains of your fallen enemies.
You can cast the speak with dead spell once per long rest
without expending a spell slot.
The corpse you target must be a decapitated head, and the
spell otherwise functions as normal.

Swamp Masterwork
Prerequisite: Lizardfolk
You have exceptional crafting skill compared to your kin.
When using your Cunning Artisan trait you can choose to
make a greatclub, shortbow, blowgun, spear, longbow, or 1d4
arrows in addition to the normal options.
To make a greatclub, spear, or longbow the corpse you
harvest from must be Medium or larger, or you must have
access to two or more Small corpses. If you craft ammunition
from a Medium or larger corpse, you increase the number of
darts, blowgun needles, or arrows by an amount equal to your
proficiency bonus.

4
Toxic Bite
Prerequisite: Lizardfolk
Your clan's fangs are poisonous, allowing you to debilitate
creatures you bite. Whenever you use your Hungry Jaws trait,
on a hit the victim must make a Constitution saving throw or
be poisoned for one minute. The DC for this saving throw is
equal to 10 + your Constitution modifier.
Additionally, you may now use your Hungry Jaws trait
twice before needing to take a short or long rest.
Trap Tinkerer
Prerequisites: Kobold, proficiency in thieves' tools
Time spent in your people's warrens has given you a great
appreciation for traps and great skill with trapmaking.
Using these skills, you can rig certain tripwires, pressure
plates, and similar mechanisms to be inactive, and then be
easily activated again once you pass. The DC to do so is equal
to the normal DC to disarm the trap plus 3. You can also set
up the traps listed below (see Dungeon Master's Guide pages
120 to 123 for info on traps).
• Tripwire. Setting up the trap takes 10 minutes. The first
to pass without spotting it must make a DC 10 Dexterity
save or fall prone.
• Collapsing Roof. Destabilizing a roof requires 1 hour
and a DC 15 check with mason's tools, setting up the trap
takes 10 minutes.
• Falling Net. Setting up the trap takes 10 minutes and
requires a net.
• Simple Pit. Digging a 10-foot-deep pit requires 1 hour
with digging implements, or 2 hours without. Setting up
the trap takes 10 minutes and a section of cloth.
• Simple Spiked Pit. After setting up a Simple Pit, the
spikes take 1 hour to carve and a DC 12 Strength check,
or a DC 10 check with woodcarver's tools.
The DC to detect these traps is 10, and the DC to disarm
them is 10 plus your Dexterity modifier.
Virtuous Heritage
Prerequisite: Aasimar
The divine energy in your soul burns brightly and allows you
to harness divine magic with ease. You gain the following
benefits, using Charisma as your spellcasting ability:
• You increase your Charisma by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You can cast lesser restoration and one other spell once
each without expending a spell slot. Your other spell is
determined by your subrace; protector aasimar cast day-
light, scourge aasimar cast silence, and fallen aasimar
cast darkness. You regain the ability to cast these spells
after you finish a long rest.
Wild Booyahg
Prerequisite: Goblin
A spark of wild magic burns within your soul, not that you
ever learned how to use it. As an action, you can unleash this
spit of magic by rolling 1d20, then adding 1 + your level.
You immediately cause the rolled effect from the Wild
Surge table of the Player's Handbook (pg. 104). You cannot
use this ability again until you finish a long rest.

NPC Feats
BE YE NOT DECEIVED; SOME CREATURES ARE FAR MORE
terrifying and powerful than you have seen, lad.
— Elminster, note on first draft of Volo's Guide
While Volo's draft compiles many common oddities and
special abilities, some even rarer variations also exist. The
sage Elminster noted the basics of some on the early draft of
Volo's Guide.
Though cut from the final product like their counterparts
above, these feats can turn even the most unimpressive beings
into formidable foes or powerful allies.
Using these Feats
The feats presented below are best used with major, recurring
antagonists or party companions. A hobgoblin mage who is
going to reappear at 3rd, 7th, and 15th level will need to keep
pace with the party, and grow in power accordingly.
By using these feats in place of ones available to normal
player characters, you can strengthen the NPC's bonds to their
culture and simultaneously differentiate them from the player
characters themselves.
Recommendations, not Requirements
As feats meant for DM use, you can loosen the restrictions on
them if it matches your narrative.
Perhaps a human villain serves as a loyal follower of the
yuan-ti, and so has the Acolyte of Merrshaulk feat. They might
one day become a yuan-ti themselves, if their mission goes well.
Or, if they fail, they might be made into a yuan-ti broodguard
(pg. 203, Volo's Guide) instead. The sky is the limit!
If you allow players to use these feats, however, it is strongly
suggested that you maintain the listed requirements and limits,
as without them many of these feats would be far too powerful
for a player character.
Some of the feats below allow a NPC to mimic an existing
monster, such as with the Fury of the Demonborn feat and the
tanarukk (pg. 186, Volo's Guide) or Nascent Fiend feat and
the barghest (pg. 123, Volo's Guide). In cases where altering
the original statblock would be too tedious, this can help
achieve a similar effect.

Adding Feats to Monsters

There are several ways to use the feats listed below. The first
is to include them as additions to existing monster statblocks.
When adding a feat to an existing statblock, most can be
considered to increase the creature's Challenge Rating by 1. If
the creature normally has a CR below 1, adding a feat instead
doubles the original CR value.
As an example, the Acolyte of Dendar feat can be used to
modify the yuan-ti pureblood (pg. 310, Monster Manual),
reflecting that creature's affinity for one of their gods over
others. In this case, the yuan-ti pureblood would simply add
the effects of the feat to its statblock and increase its CR to 2.
Such a pureblood would make an ideal follower for a yuan-ti
nightmare speaker (pg. 205, Volo's Guide) and might even
become one themselves later in your campaign.
Feats from the Player's Handbook or Xanathar's Guide to
Everything, as well as those listed above, can also be used in
this way. Some noncombat feats can even be added without
any change in CR at all.

Other Methods
In addition to adding these feats to existing creatures, you can
also use them when building a NPC manually, without using a
statblock.
This method has merits when used for a recurring character
who grows in power alongside the player characters. By using
the same systems as the player characters, the NPC can more
easily keep pace with the player characters.

(as if concentrating on a spell).

Blessing of Skiggaret
Prerequisite: Bugbear
When faced with danger, your resolve sometimes suddenly
abandons you. No matter your bravery, in that moment you
become a coward willing to do anything to survive.
As a reaction to taking damage that reduces you to any
amount less than half your maximum hit points, you can
become possessed by the spirit of Skiggaret. Once you use
this reaction, you must finish a short or long rest before you
may do so again.
The grim god's "blessing" grants you increased survival
skills. For 1 minute, you change in the following ways:
• As a reaction to taking damage, you can halve the
amount of damage you take from that source.
• You can take the Dash, Disengage, and Hide actions as
bonus actions on your turn.
• You gain proficiency in the Stealth and Survival skills. If
you are already proficient, you instead add your profi-
ciency bonus twice to any Stealth or Survival checks.
• You are frightened of all creatures you can see and must
use your turn to flee or hide from them.
Devastator Graduate
Prerequisites: Hobgoblin, Intelligence or Charisma of 15 or
higher, at least one Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard spell
slot of 3rd level or higher
You were trained in the Academy of Devastation, learning the
techniques of hobgoblin devastators. You gain the following
benefits:
• Once per turn you can deal an extra 2d6 damage to a
creature you hit with a damaging spell attack, provided
the target is within 5 feet of one of your allies who is not
incapacitated.
• You learn one of the following spells, provided you have
a spell slot capable of casting it: fog cloud, magic mis-
sile, thunderwave, gust of wind, Melf's acid arrow, or
scorching ray. The spell counts as a spell of your highest
level spellcasting class but does not count against any
maximum spells known limit.
Dragonheart
Prerequisites: Kobold, lawful evil, allegiance to a chromatic
dragon of CR 13 or higher
Your draconic master has gifted you with power that reflects
their own. You gain the following benefits:
• You increase your Constitution by 1, to a maximum of
20.
• You gain resistance to the damage type dealt by your
draconic master's breath weapon.
• Whenever you are frightened or paralyzed, you can re-
make the saving throw for that effect at the beginning of
your turn. If you succeed, you end the effect on yourself
and any ally within 30 feet of you. Once you succeed on
one of these attempts you cannot do so again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Special Drawback. Due to gaining this power from your
draconic master, they can revoke these benefits at any time.
When the dragon orders you to perform a task, you are
expected to do so quickly and without complaint.
Fury of the Demonborn
Prerequisites: Orc, Constitution of 15 or higher, chaotic evil
Long ago, one of your ancestors was tainted by demonic
influence, likely from the demon lord Baphomet. That taint
has returned in you, causing you to change in the following
ways:
• You can increase your Strength and Constitution by a
combined 4 points. This increase may not bring a score
above 20.
• Your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma all decrease
by 4 each, to a minimum of 8.
• You have advantage on saving throws against spells and
other magical effects.
• You gain resistance to fire and poison damage.
• As a reaction to being hit by a melee attack, you can
immediately make one melee weapon attack with ad-
vantage against your attacker.
Special Drawback. You gain the fiend typing with the
demon tag. You no longer count as native to the Material
Plane, and instead treat the Abyss as your native plane.
Nascent Fiend
Prerequisites: Goblin, neutral evil
Rather than a true goblin, you are actually a dread barghest in
disguise. Though your shapeshifting has yet to fully manifest,
you can still assume a terrible fiendish form. You change in
the following ways:
• You increase your Strength by 2, to a maximum of 20.
• You gain resistance to cold, fire, and lightning damage.
• You can use your action to transform into a barghest
(pg. 123 of Volo's Guide). You remain in this state for 1
hour, and do not transform back if you die. While trans-
8
 formed, you can take 1 minute to consume the body of a
goblinoid you killed within the last 10 minutes, consum-
ing its soul as well. You may shapeshift in this way once
per short rest.
• You gain a special weakness to fire; whenever you begin
your turn inside a fire at least 10 feet high or wide, you
must make a DC 15 Charisma check or be instantly ban-
ished to Gehenna.
Special Drawback. If you devour 17 goblinoid souls, you
are summoned back to Gehenna during your next long rest.
The General of Gehenna might order you to stay at his side or
with a lieutenant, or he might gift you additional power and
release you back onto the Material Plane.
You may take this feat again if you already have it. When
you do so, you replace your statistics with that of a barghest.
You retain any class features and can use them all in goblin
form but may or may not be able to do so in your fiend form.
Shadow of Tyranny
Prerequisites: Hobgoblin, Dexterity of 15 or higher
You were trained by the Iron Shadows, the secret police of
Maglubiyet. You gain the following benefits:
• You can cast the expeditious retreat and silent image
spells once each without expending a spell slot. You re-
gain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability score for these
spells.
• As an action you can magically teleport up to 30 feet to
an unoccupied space you can see. Both your starting
space and your destination must be in dim light or dark-
ness. Once you do this you must finish a short rest before
you may do so again.
Urd Wings
Prerequisite: Kobold
Rather suddenly, you have grown a pair of urd wings. Besides
being disorientating and quite painful, the wings have allowed
you to take to the skies with a fly speed of 30 feet.
Any armor or clothing you wear must be accommodated to
fit your wings. You can still wear a backpack but cannot wear
any other unmodified clothing or armor.
Finally, your new status as a winged kobold has made other
kobolds dislike you for no apparent reason. They will not
attack, but you have disadvantage on Charisma checks with
them.
