World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Chapter 1: Introduction
The world of Warcraft has many special traits when converted to tabletop format. It has special naming conventions,
languages, and an extensive lore.
Naming Conventions.
Old Attribute Name New Attribute Name
Dexterity (Dex) Agility (Agi)
Wisdom (Wis) Spirit (Spi)
Constitution (Con) Stamina (Stm)
Magic. Some spells are changed in function or name. All such spells are referred to with their new names, rather than
their old names. Mana and set spells is also used as a core magic system, not spell slots. Mana restores over time, while
resting, by drinking certain potions, and with certain abilities that restore mana instantaneously at the cost of future
regeneration.
A character can only benefit from a non-rest based mana restorative effect per hour.
Holy Light heals the living and harms the dead, and vice versa for Death Coil. Priests, Paladins, and Death Knights can
cast Holy Light or Death Coil (and Heal and Harm), and Druids and Shamans must use their own variations on the two
spells (Rejuvenation and Tranquility for druids, and Riptide and Healing Stream for Shamans)
Classes. As detailed below, some classes gain different abilities to better synergize with the mana system, while others are
renamed as above.
Aura Effects. Certain effects grant bonuses to AC, attack, or saving throws that are based off morale-based sources. A
bear’s primal roar, a paladin’s confident presence, or an archmage’s proximity. These are collectively known as aura
bonuses, and do not stack with one another.
Languages. Spoken languages in Azeroth are Common (spoken by humans, and most other races), Draconic (restricted;
spoken by dragons), Dwarven (spoken by dwarves), Eredun (restricted; spoken by demons, see below), Gnomish (spoken
by gnomes), Elven (Darnassian, spoken by Night Elves and Thalassian, spoken by Highborne and High Elves), Goblin
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
(spoken by goblins), Kalimag (spoken by elementals, Ignan for fire, Aquan for water, Terran for earth, and Auran for air
elementals), Low Common (Spoken by furbolgs, gnolls, kobolds, ogres, most humanoids and giants), Orcish (spoken by
orcs), Nazja (spoken by Naga), Taur-ahe (spoken by Tauren), and Titan (spoken by titans), Draenei (spoken by Draenei,
Broken and Lost Ones)
Restricted languages may only be granted as racial or class features. Languages must also be learned from a source.
Eredun Curse. Demons of the Burning Legion speak the tongue of their kind, Eredun, which has splatterings of Titan.
Any non-demonic creature that deliberately speaks Eredun without being also bound to demons (such as a Warlock), must
make a Spirit save every year (DC 14) or lose 1 point of Spirit, and shift one step towards Lawful Evil. If the character is
Evil, the save must still be done, and the spirit loss remains until the character serves the Burning Legion in a substantial
way (according to its capabilities). After doing so, the lords of the Legion may remove this curse. This is a Curse effect.
Incorporeality and Etherealness. The Warcraft universe does not transit into the ethereal plane present in other settings,
and thus all ethereal movement is incorporeal movement instead.
Incorporeal creatures gain damage resistance to all non magical weapons, and resistance to all energy types except Arcane,
Holy, and Fel. They may also go through solid objects such as walls (treating movement as difficult terrain), but take 5
(1d10) Arcane damage if ending their turn within one. They are also naturally invisible, but are not naturally silent. They
cannot attack non incorporeal creatures or cast spells, but may handle force effects as normal (such as by pushing, casting
force spells, or attacking with force weapons). Force walls prevent incorporeal creatures to pass through them.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Chapter 2: Races
The races of Warcraft are diverse and rich. Each race has a role in the world, and their deeds resonate through the ages.
Members of each race view each other with assumptions formed by past conflicts and alliances. Warcraft’s history is
troubled and epic, and every aspect influences the races, their beliefs and their roles.
This chapter describes Ironforge, Wildhammer and Dark Iron dwarves, High and Night elves, gnomes, goblins, humans,
orcs, tauren, jungle and forest trolls, and the undead Forsaken. These races are not the only races in the Warcraft world,
but they are the most dominant, influential, and prone to adventuring.

Half-breed Races
The warcraft universe also has its share of mixed-origin characters(or half races). One of the more famous examples are
Garona Halforcen and the half elven Alodi, the first Guardian. Mixed races are treated as both races with spells, magic
effects, and mechanical purposes, but may be looked down upon by their parent races.
Mixed Traits
Attributes. The creature chooses one of either parents' racial attributes.
Affiliation. The creature usually either falls to either parents' affiliation or is independent.
Size. The creature is the average in size of both parents (if they are not both Medium sized).
Speed. The creature moves at an average of both parents (if they are not both 30 ft.)
Racial traits. The creature chooses one of either parents' racial traits.
Racial penalties. The creature takes all racial penalties of both parents (if present, such as the blood elves’ addiction).
Languages. The creature gains the languages of both parents.
Names. Follows the naming conventions of both parents or may be wholly original. Usually mixed creatures are titled by
their ancestry, such as 'Halforcen,' 'half elven', or even 'half human' depending on their actions and history.
For example, Drann Halforcen, (orc father, draenei mother) can choose his father's (+2 to Str, +1 to Sta) or his mother's
(+2 to Str, +1 to Spi) racial attribute bonuses. The character may then make a decision on which race is he closer
biologically to (gaining Darkvision, Heroic Presence, Gift of the Naaru, Shadow Resistance, and Gemcutting if his
mother's side is dominant, or Darkvision, Menacing, Battle Rage, Relentless Endurance, and Orcish Combat Training if
his father's side is).
He would gain both Common, Orcish, and uncorrupted Eredun in either case.

Marksman
A marksman is a master archer or sharpshooter who excels in bringing down enemies from afar.
Careful Aim. Once you gain this archetype at 3rd level, you may use a bonus action as part of shooting to grant yourself
advantage your ranged weapon attack. You cannot use this if you already moved in the previous round.
Hawk Eye. Starting at 7th level, you double your range with all ranged weapon attacks. Also, any ranged attack you score
on a creature that is surprised is a critical hit. The automatic critical hit can be triggered once per round.
Multi-Shot Strike. Starting at 11th level, whenever you successfully strike an enemy with a ranged attack, you may use a
bonus action to attack any other target within 5 feet of the original target. You may also instead designate five-foot-square
within the range of your ranged weapon, and bombard any number of enemies within 10 feet of said point, one attack
each.
Chimera Shot [Shot]. Beginning at 15th level, you gain the ability to use Chimera Shot once per Spirit modifier, regained
at the end of a long rest. You may declare the use of Chimera Shot, which allows you to combine the effects of up to three
different shot spells, with the mana cost of only the highest-level shot.
Survival
A survival hunter is a rugged tracker who uses animal venom, explosives, and traps as deadly weapons, and gains a variety
of different survival abilities.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Survival Knowledge. Starting at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Engineering and Alchemy (spell list is the full Hunter’s
spell list). If you already have proficiency in Engineering, you gain expertise in checks with it. You also gain +10 feet to
your speed when wearing medium armor or less, and when not using a shield.
Trap Expert. Starting at 7th level, any creature subjected to traps set by you have disadvantage to their saves, or the trap
has advantage to any attack against them, and you may add your Proficiency bonus to all saving throw DCs or attack rolls
made by traps you set.
The trap needs only to be set by you, and not necessarily built by you. This disadvantage applies to any poisons you apply
on the trap (treat as if poisoning own weapon).
Poison Science. Starting at 11th level, you can harvest natural poisons from dead creatures, with a quantity enough for one
poison use per hit die of the dead creature. You may also acquire immunity to poisons by subjecting yourself to them in
small increments. It takes one week of subjecting yourself to a poison to become immune to it, assuming you may survive
until the end. You also gain resistance to poison damage.
Mettle. Starting at 17th level, you automatically succeed against all death saving throws after a minute of being reduced to
0 hit points, and only suffer a loss when attacked while dying. You may also apply poisons on your weapon as a bonus
action.
You always count yourself as within your favored terrain for the purposes of travel, and whenever one of your traps harm
a creature, you always treat it as if it is surprised against you, unless combat hasn’t already started.
Mage (MGE)
Students gifted with a keen intellect and unwavering discipline may walk the path of the Mage. The arcane magic
available to magi is both great and dangerous, and thus is revealed only to the most devoted practitioners. To avoid
interference with their spellcasting, magi wear only cloth armor, but arcane shields and enchantments give them additional
protection. To keep enemies at bay, magi can summon bursts of fire, waves of frost, or blasts of arcane magic to incinerate,
freeze, and destroy distant targets and cause entire areas to erupt with their magic, setting groups of foes to waste.
The wizards of Azeroth are commonly known as mages, or magi. The magi of Azeroth acknowledge the corrupting
influence of arcane magic, and unlike Warlocks, they temper their advancement with cool intellect and precision.
Note that any mage may convert their every mage level to a Warlock level with a one-time quest, usually by attuning
themselves to the fel energies of the burning legion, killing a demon and siphoning its mana, or being touched by a demonic
entity or organization.

Invocation
You have learned to regain some of your mana by invoking mana. With a 3-turn action, you can regain mana equal to 4 +
your Mage level. When used, you do not regenerate mana by rest or time for the next four hours. Unlike most
mana-restoring abilities, you can use this after restoring mana from a different source.
Spellcasting
As a student of arcane magic, you have a spellbook containing spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the mage spell list. You learn additional mage cantrips of your
choice at higher levels, equal to half your Mage level + 2 (maximum 6).
Spellbook
At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing six 1st-level mage spells of your choice. When you level up, you gain 2
additional mage spells of your choice. You may also acquire new spells by research, tutelage, or from the spellbooks and
scrolls of spellcasters who have spells you can cast.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your mage spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and
memorization.
You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a mage spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don't need
to have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your mage spells.
Mage Tradition
When you reach 2nd level, you choose a mage tradition, shaping your practice of magic through one of eight schools, or
through the disciplines of Arcane, Fire, or Frost, detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you
features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level. Azerothian magi also often specialize in Necromancy or Illusion,
though other traditions are relatively rare.
The most common traditions in Azeroth are the three below: Arcane, Fire, and Frost. Arcane and Frost are preferred by
the students and people of Dalaran, but the grand power of Fire is nothing to be ignored. Other than the above
specializations, necromancers and conjurers (as described in the core rulebook) are common in Azeroth.
Spell Mastery
At 18th level, you have achieved such mastery over certain spells that you can cast them at will with no mana cost.
Choose a 1st-level mage spell and a 2nd-level mage spell that are in your spellbook.
You can cast those spells at their lowest level without expending mana when you have them prepared. If you want to cast
either spell at a higher level (or if the spell consumes mana in its description), you must expend mana as normal.
By spending 8 hours in study, you can exchange one or both of the spells you chose for different spells of the same levels.
Signature Spell
When you reach 20th level, you gain mastery over two powerful spells and can cast them with little effort. Choose two
3rd-level wizard spells in your spellbook as your signature spells. You always have these spells prepared, they don’t count
against the number of spells you have prepared, and you can cast each of them once at 3rd level without expending mana.
When you do so, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
If you want to cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend mana as normal.
Mage Traditions
Arcane
Arcane magi manipulate focused mysterious arcane powers more adeptly than others, destroying enemies with
overwhelming raw magic force.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Arcane Spheres. Starting at 1st level, you gain an arcane sphere whenever you cast an abjuration or transmutation spell or
a damaging spell that deals arcane damage. The arcane sphere orbits your body, becoming invisible when you wish them
to.
Each arcane sphere may be consumed to increase the DC of your next spell by +1 per arcane sphere consumed. You may
have a maximum of 3 arcane spheres, which remain for ten minutes or until used.
Arcane Blast. Also at 2nd level, you gain the ability to unleash blasts of arcane force as an action. This acts as the Mystic
Blast feat, dealing 1d4 Arcane damage per every two levels in Mage. The range is 30 ft., and requires a ranged spell attack.
Transmutation Mastery: Transfusion. Starting at 6th level, any hostile target of a transmutation spell you cast takes 2d6
Arcane damage per spell level after successfully saving against your spell, or at the end of the spell’s duration. The range of
Arcane Blast increases by 20 feet.
Abjuration Mastery: Spell-Flare. At 10th level, you may twist a spell when it is dispelled by your abjuration spells.
Whenever you dispel an ongoing magical effect on a target, you may opt to deal 1d4 Arcane damage per spell level
dispelled to the target. This damage cannot be resisted, and applies only once per round. Whenever you cast dispel magic,
mana burn, and mana shield, it costs you one less point of mana.
You may also sacrifice all your Arcane Spheres to reduce mana cost of one spell cast. The reduction in mana cost is one
point less per Arcane Sphere removed (minimum mana 1). This may be used once per hour.
Rune of Power. Starting at 14th level, you may use an action to create a rune of power up to 30 feet away that focuses the
ley lines of the realm you are in. The rune occupies a 5-feet square. Any creature standing on this rune casts their spells
with one less point of mana (minimum 1). This rune can be treated as a fountain of mana, but for one creature only. You
may dispel this rune with a reaction. The rune remains for one hour. You may create three runes before requiring a long
rest.
Fire
A fire mage ignites enemies with bolts of fire and exploding flames.
Controlled Destruction. Beginning at 2nd level, you can create pockets of relative safety within the effects of your fire
evocation spells. When you cast a fire evocation spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a
number of them equal to 1 + the spell’s level. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against
the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.
Also, whenever you set a target on fire with your fire spells, they are considered to be poisoned (disadvantage to attack
rolls and ability checks) so long as they are aflame.
Student of Flame. Also beginning at 2nd level, you may scribe evocation spells with other energy types as fire spells in
your spellbook. The spells act the same way, unless the DM rules it is unreasonable (such as a slippery effect on a fire sleet
spell). You also gain resistance to fire damage.
Scorch. Starting at 6th level, you may cast Fire Bolt as a bonus action. Also, you may critically hit with any ranged fire
spell attack on a 19 and a 20, dealing double damage. If the spell sets the target on fire, the saving throw to resist being
caught on flame is made at a disadvantage.
Pyromaniac. At 10th level, you add the Pyroblast spell to your spellbook if it isn’t already within it. Whenever you
critically hit with a ranged fire spell, you may spend a bonus action to count as if you concentrated for one round with
your Pyroblast spell. The pyromaniac bonus remains for one minute or until you cast Pyroblast, and stacks with itself. It
cannot exceed the maximum damage you can deal with Pyroblast, however. For this purpose, you count as if you critically
hit if one of the targets of your fire spells fails by a natural 1 on a saving throw.
Black Fire. Starting at 14th level, you may spend a bonus action when targeting a creature that is immune or resistant to
fire damage, reducing its resistance to damage. If it is immune, it becomes resistant instead. If resistant, it takes damage
normally. If it takes normal damage, it is instead vulnerable. This remains for one hour, and one creature cannot be
subjected to this effect more than once for 24 hours.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Frost
Frost mages freeze their enemies in their tracks, and shatter them with ice magic.
Chilling Effects. Starting at 2nd level, you may use a bonus action to reduce the speed of any target of your cold spells by
10 feet for one round. If the spell already slows their movement, its speed decrease is extended by one round.
Student of Frost. Also beginning at 2nd level, you may scribe evocation spells with other energy types as cold spells in
your spellbook. The spells act the same way, unless the DM rules it is unreasonable (such as a burning effect on a cold
spell). You also gain resistance to Cold damage.
Ice Statues. At 6th level, when you deal cold damage that reduces a creature to 0 hit points of a target with a cold spell,
you may opt to freeze them into a statue instead. While they are frozen this way, they are stabilized.
Ice Lance. Starting at 10th level, you may cast Frostbolt as a bonus action. If you strike a target that is frozen with the ice
lance, the attack is considered a critical hit, which also removes the frozen condition and frees the target.
Also, Whenever you walk on a liquid that can be frozen at 0 degrees, you may freeze it as you walk and create a path 10
feet wide from where you step. This consumes a bonus action every round, but allows you to walk on a frozen path. The
frozen path melts away in one minute in normal weather conditions (or does not melt if it is below freezing temperature).
Deep Freeze. Starting at 14th level, whenever you reduce a target’s hit points to below half their maximum with a single
cold spell or reduce their speed to 0, you may use a bonus action to freeze them into a statue, opposed by a Stamina saving
throw. Frozen targets are incapacitated, and they remain frozen until they are hit, thaw (depending on the weather
conditions), until ten minutes have passed, or until hit with a Frostbolt (which deals critical damage, as per Ice Lance).
Monk (MNK)
The Monks of Azeroth usually follow Pandaren monastery tradition, ever since they were subjugated by the mogu. They
usually act independently from factions, seeing the ebb and flow of right and wrong to belong with neither sides, and can
be found in the most unusual of places, seeking wisdom or enlightenment.
CREATING A MONK

Unarmored Defense
Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Agility
modifier + your Spirit modifier.
Martial Arts
At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons,
which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don’t have the two-handed or heavy property.
You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren’t wearing armor or
wielding a shield:
● You can use Agility instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk
weapons.
● You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you
gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
● When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one
unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you
can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.
Certain monasteries use specialized forms of the monk weapons. For example, you might use a nunchaku (club that is two
lengths of wood connected by a short chain) or a kama (sickle with a shorter, straighter blade), or even a large tankard of
alcohol (club). Whatever name you use for a monk weapon, you can use the game statistics provided for the weapon in
chapter 5 of the PHB.
Ki
Starting at 2nd level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki (or Chi within Pandaren circles). Your
access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. You have a number of Ki points equal to your monk level.
You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient
Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your
expended ki back into yourself.
You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points. Some of your ki features require your
target to make a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects.
The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Ki save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Spirit modifier
Flurry of Blows
Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a
bonus action.
Patient Defense
You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.
Unarmored Movement
Starting at 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus
increases when you reach certain monk levels, as shown in the Monk table.
At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the
move.
Brewer
Starting at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in brewer’s supplies and can imbue a pint of drink (alcohol, tea, or any other
brew the monk declares) with a measure of your Ki, reducing your maximum Ki pool by the amount of points you use.
Once a creature that requires drink consumes a pint of an imbued brew, they gain the listed benefit for eight (8) hours,
until they take a long rest, or until they make use of three uses of the effect (whichever is sooner).
When the drink is consumed, the your ki maximum is restored (and are able to regain Ki after resting as normal).
A creature cannot benefit from more than one brew at any given time, and cannot benefit if they do not require drink or
food to stay alive, or if they cannot reasonably process drinks. Such brews are usually carried around with the monk in a
keg or in several bottles.
Drinking a brew costs a bonus action if willing, or an action and a melee unarmed attack if unwilling (or as part of a
grapple). A monk starts with the following brew at 2nd level, and can gain more depending on specialization.
● Fortifying Brew. All creatures who drink this brew increase their maximum hit points by 1 per monk level (max is
equal to double the imbiber’s original hit points). If the character later suffers from a reduction to maximum hit
points, it is reduced from the benefit of Fortifying Brew first. This benefit is passive, and dissipates
instantaneously if the creature is reduced to 0 hit points.
This does not stack with Power Word: Fortitude. Cost: 1 Ki per pint.
A character can brew and imbue as much drinks as they could prepare, but the ki in brews dissipates naturally over the
course of three days and the monk can regain the lost ki by resting unless the monk re-imbues them (not an action so long
as willing). This is considered a ki feature, and has the same DC to resist.
Monk Tradition
When you reach 3rd level, you commit yourself to a monk tradition: the way of the Brewmaster, who excels in mysterious
drinks, the way of the Mistweaver, who heals themselves and others, or the way of the Windwalker, the adventurous and
evasive combatant.
All traditions are detailed at the end of the class description. Your tradition grants you features at 3rd level and again at
6th, 11th, and 17th level.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Deflect Missiles
Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack.
When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Strength or Agility modifier (your
choice) + your monk level.
If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at
least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with the weapon or
piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of
your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack.
As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Slow Fall
Beginning at 4th level, you can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal
to five times your monk level.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Stunning Strike
Starting at 5th level, you can interfere with the flow of ki in an opponent’s body. When you hit another creature with a
melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 ki point to attempt a stunning strike. The target must succeed on a Stamina saving
throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.
Ki-Empowered Strikes
Starting at 6th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to
non-magical attacks and damage.
Evasion
At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon’s lightning
breath or a fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make an Agility saving throw to take only
half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Stillness of Mind
Starting at 7th level, you can use your action to end one effect on yourself that is causing you to be charmed or frightened.
Purity of Body
At 10th level, your mastery of the ki flowing through you makes you immune to disease and poison.
Diamond Soul
Beginning at 14th level, your mastery of ki grants you proficiency in all saving throws.
Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 ki point to reroll it and take the second result.
During that time, you also have resistance to all damage but force damage.
Additionally, you can spend 8 ki points to cast the astral projection spell, without needing material components. When you
do so, you can’t take any other creatures with you.
Perfect Self
At 20th level, when you roll for initiative and have no ki points remaining, you regain 4 ki points.

Monk Traditions
Brewmaster
Brewmaster monks are focused on evading blows and empowering themselves and their allies through their brews, and
make the most common of monk adventurers.
Brewmaster Focus. Upon reaching 3rd level and gaining this monk tradition, you gain two new brews to your repertoire.
● Elusive Brew. All creatures who drink this brew can use a reaction to dodge. This can be used three times before
the effect dissipates (8 hours or until a long rest).
● Dizzying Haze. All creatures who drink this brew suffer from light obstruction to perception, and lose one-fourth
of their speed. The creature can make a Stamina saving throw to negate the obstruction to vision and reduce their
speed lost to half against one use. This can be used three times before the effect dissipates.
If targeted with a fire spell or effect, the creature is set on fire, taking 1d4 fire damage on the start of each of its
turns until they use an action to set it out. This requires an Agility saving throw against the monk’s ki DC.
You may also add the following Ki power to your repertoire.
● Breath of Fire. As an action, you can cast Burning Hands as a 1st level spell. This effect is voice-based, requiring
that you be able to speak (and are not silenced), but does not require gestures. Cost: 2 Ki + 1 per spell level above
1st (maximum 1 level per 3 monk levels)
Brewmaster Ki. Upon reaching 6th level, you gain the following new Ki powers and add them to your repertoire.
● Purifying Touch [Strike]. As an action, you can cast Dispel Magic as a 3nd level spell. This requires touching the
effect or creature that is subject to the effect. You may alternatively add this to an existing attack with a bonus
action (in which case, this becomes a [Strike] effect). Cost: 3 Ki + 1 per spell level above 3rd (maximum 1 level per
3 monk levels).
● Evasive Footing [Stance]. You may enter a stance that allows you to ignore attacks of opportunity from
movement so long as you do not move more than half your speed, and as long as your AC is higher than 8 + the
attack bonus of the creatures you are evading. If a creature’s attack bonus is high enough to reach the value, they
may make attacks of opportunity normally. This is a [Stance] effect. Cost: 1 Ki to enter stance. Remains until
dispelled.
Ox Stance [Stance]. Starting at 11th level, you may enter this stance. While in this stance, you may add your Spirit
modifier to all saving throws. If you are subjected to damage that is equal to or more than one-fourth your original hit
points while in this stance, you gain resistance to the attack suffered. If you move more than half your speed, the effects of
this stance are disrupted. Entering this stance costs 2 Ki.
Zen Pose [Stance]. Starting at 17th level, you can use your action to enter a Zen pose. So long as you do not take damage
from an attack and do not fail a saving throw, your enemies have disadvantage to attack rolls against you, and you have
advantage to all saving throws. Whenever you make a successful saving throw, or when a hostile target misses you with
an attack roll due to the disadvantage, you regain 1 Ki point (maximum 6 or normal maximum Ki).
This stance effect is disrupted if you take damage from an attack roll or fail a saving throw. This can be used once per long
rest. Entering this stance costs 2 Ki.
Mistweaver
Mistweaver monks are focused on empowering and supporting allies, and are usually the most elusive of the monk
disciplines.
Mistweaver Focus. Upon reaching 3rd level and gaining this monk tradition, you gain two new brews to your repertoire.
● Mana Tea. All creatures who drink this brew can regain 2 points of mana or Ki. As normal mana regeneration
effects, this effect has a cooldown of an hour (even if used for Ki). Cost: 2 Ki.
● Thunder Focus Tea. All creatures who drink this brew reduce the mana or Ki cost for area-of-effect and
multi-target spells by 1 point. This can be used three times before the effect dissipates, or for 8 hours (whichever
comes first). Cost: 2 Ki.
You may also add the following Ki power to your repertoire.
● Soothing Mist. As an action, you may expend Ki and gain a cloud of healing mists. The creature gains 5 hit points
for every Ki point invested. You may target a creature up to 30 feet away (or a number of creatures within 30 feet
of one another), and distribute healing amongst as many creatures as you wish. If benefitting from Thunder Focus
Tea, the this is treated as an eligible spell effect.
Alternatively, you can expend hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize
one poison affecting it, with a number of hit points required equal to one-half the saving throw DC of the poison
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
(round up). You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Soothing Mist,
expending hit points separately for each one. This feature has no effect on constructs or undead. Cost: 1 Ki for 5
hit points.
Mistweaver Ki. Upon reaching 6th level, you gain the following new Ki powers and add them to your repertoire.
● Control Ki. As an action, you may cast Mute as a 2nd level spell. Upon reaching 9th level, you may also cast
Dispel Magic as a 3rd level spell. You may either cast them with their normal ranges, or imbue them into your
brews. In this case, they are the only imbued effect. Cost: 2 Ki + 1 per spell level above 2nd (maximum 1 level per
3 monk levels).
Special: The cost of imbuing a brew is equal to the cost of manifesting it.
● Mist Weave. As an action, you can cast Fog Cloud and Blink Step as 2nd level spells. In mists and fog, you suffer
only light obstruction, and never heavy obstruction. Cost: 2 Ki + 1 per spell level above 2nd (maximum 1 level per
3 monk levels).
Spirited Crane Stance [Stance]. Starting at 11th level, you may enter this stance. While in this stance, whenever you
successfully deal damage to a creature with an unarmed strike, you may restore hit points to an ally within 30 feet of you,
with the number of hit points being equal to your proficiency bonus. The healing acts as a stream between the ally and
you, and if interposed by another creature, it gains the healing instead if it spends a reaction. You can heal yourself
through this ability, through in this case any adjacent creature can gain the healing if they spend a reaction. If you move
more than half your speed, the effects of this stance are disrupted. Entering this stance costs 1 Ki.
Enlightenment. Starting at 17th level, you may cast the Resurrection spell by spending 8 Ki points, or the Revivify spell by
spending 4 Ki. Neither can be used more than once in any given 24 hours.
Windwalker
Windwalker monks are focused on hand-to-hand combat, and are usually the most confrontational of the monk disciplines.
Windwalker Recipes. Upon reaching 3rd level and gaining this monk tradition, you gain two new brews to your
repertoire. Windwalker effect can cover one minute in any given hour for eight hours so long as the brew is active, and the
effect triggers whenever the creature feels threatened. After benefitting, the creature requires double the normal daily
requirement of food to avoid starvation.
● Tigereye Brew. All creatures who drink this brew (including you) can add your Spirit bonus to damage rolls. This
can be used up to three times before dissipating. Cost: 1 Ki.
● Ki Guard Brew. All creatures who drink this brew take 2 less points of damage from Weapon Attack rolls. This
does not stack with the Paladin’s Devotion Aura and similar effects. This can be used up to three times before
dissipating. Cost: 2 Ki.
You may also add the following Ki power to your repertoire.
● Superior Martial Arts. As an action, you may deal your unarmed damage as an area of effect (expending any
number of attacks). You may choose to make it a 5-foot-burst around you (named the Hurricane Kick), a 10-foot
cone (named Fists of Fury), or a 15-foot line (named the Flying Serpent Kick). You may move within the specified
area of effect without provoking reactions from the creatures in the area of effect, so long as you dealt at least 1
point of damage to them (such as kicking through a line of enemies and landing behind them with a Flying Serpent
Kick, or shifting 5 feet to the right after a Gyrocopter Kick, or moving 10 feet to one side after a Fists of Fury).
This action counts as if you made an unarmed attack strike for the purposes of your Martial Arts feature and
Flurry of Blows ability. Cost: 2 Ki.
Windwalker Ki. Upon reaching 6th level, you gain the following new Ki powers and add them to your repertoire.
● Destroy Ki [Strike]. As an action, you can cast Mana Burn as a 3nd level spell. This requires touching the effect
or creature that is subject to the effect, and does not require vocal components. You may alternatively add this to
an existing attack with a bonus action (in which case, this becomes a [Strike] effect). Cost: 3 Ki + 1 per spell level
above 3rd (maximum 1 level per 3 monk levels).
● Rising Sun [Strike]. As a bonus action, you may perform an upwards kick, dealing unarmed damage and imposing
an additional effect. You may also choose between dealing extra 2d6 damage, or weakening your target for one
minute. The weakness increases the damage the target takes from you by 1d6 extra damage for one minute. They
may make a Strength saving throw against your DC to half the direct damage and negate the vulnerability.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Combo Attacks. Starting at 11th level, you score a critical hit on a 19-20. If you already possess this range, the range
increases by 1 point (18-20). When you score a critical hit, you may either use any one Ki ability with no action or Ki cost
(such as flurry of blows, Rising Sun, your Superior Martial Arts abilities, or Quivering Palm once you gain it), or choose
to regain 2 Ki.
Quivering Palm. At 17th level, you gain the ability to set up lethal vibrations in someone’s body. When you hit a creature
with an unarmed strike or touch them (even if appearing as a harmless tap, which requires a Deception check opposed to
Insight), you can spend 3 ki points to start these imperceptible vibrations, which last for a number of days equal to your
monk level. The vibrations are harmless unless you use your action to end them. To do so, you and the target must be on
the same plane of existence. When you declare use this action, the creature must make a Stamina saving throw. If it fails, it
is reduced to 0 hit points. If it succeeds, it takes 10d10 necrotic damage instead.
You can have only one creature under the effect of this feature at a time. You can choose to end the vibrations harmlessly
without using an action.

Paladins are often from the Alliance, as the Holy Light that grants divine power to paladins is most commonly followed by
Humans, Ironforge Dwarves, and High Elves.

holy damage instead of healing them.
Channel Divinity. Focused Casting. Starting at 6th level, you may use a channel energy attempt to alter the target of any
invigorate healing spell you cast on a target. This does not reduce the duration, and may be used outside the target’s turn.

an action.
Angelic Form. Starting at 8th level, you may ascend temporarily to become an angelic being, becoming incorporeal, and
regaining half total hit points and mana points, and dispelling one magical effect on you.

form, and become stabilized. This may only be activated when you have less than 10% hit points remaining or if you are
dying. This may be used once per rest.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Guardian Spirit. Starting at 17th level, you may target any ally within 30 ft., granting them a guardian angel spirit. This
spirit increases the amount of healing from all life spells by 50%, and may be sacrificed to either grant resistance against any
one attack the target suffers or automatically stabilize the target if they are reduced to 0 hit points. This does not affect
constructs or undead. This may be used once per rest.

Rogues represent thieves, treasure-hunters, cunning spies, and aspiring adventurers. Using their skills and cunning (and

Shaman (SHM)
Commanding chaotic and conflicting elements, a shaman is a force that hears the world tremble and directs its wrath.
Communicating with spirits of flame, winds, and stone, shamans channel the power of the storm, earth, and fire to their
will. They are commonly found in the Horde, representing the spiritual renewal and development of the orcish people, but
the art can also be found amongst the Tauren, few dwarves and goblins, and even the strange alien folk called the Draenei.
A shaman’s holy symbol is a small ancestral relic or totem of bone, wood, or iron that can be carried in one’s hand.
The elements are chaotic, and left to their own devices, they rage against one another in unending primal fury. It is the call
of the shaman to bring balance to this chaos. Acting as moderators among earth, fire, water, and air, shaman summon
totems that focus the elements to support the shaman’s allies or punish those who threaten them.
The shamans of Azeroth function identically as base priests in terms of spell lists, except with the following changes: they
modify the [Turn and Destroy Undead] abilities and may also add all totem and shaman spells to their spell list.
CREATING A SHAMAN
Note that any shaman may convert their every shaman level to a Warlock level with a one-time quest, usually by attuning
themselves to the fel energies of the burning legion, killing a demon and siphoning its mana, or being touched by a demonic
entity or organization.
QUICK BUILD
You can make a shaman quickly by following these suggestions. First, Spirit should be your highest ability score, followed
by Strength or Stamina. Second, choose the hermit background.
CLASS FEATURES
As a shaman, you gain the following class features.
HIT POINTS

their turn in the next round.
Totem Mastery. Starting at 17th level, you may activate two totems with the same reaction, and may use Purge at a range
of 30 feet. You may also include totems in the Spirit Link spell or effect, despite them being objects and not creatures.
Tinker (TNK)
Tinkers among the smartest and most creative of the adventurers setting out to explore and conquer Azeroth. As a creator
of incredible inventions from steam saws to siege engines, your devices allow them to overcome nearly any situation —
and if you don’t have the device they need, you just might be able to design and create a new one on the spot.
Tinkers have a reputation for being dangerous companions before specializing, born mainly of reckless goblins
experimenting with explosives, or using gadgets made and owned by others. However, the true heart of the tinker
profession can be found in the steady craftsmanship of the dwarves and the wild-eyed curiosity of the gnomes. As tinkers
begin to spread to all the races of Azeroth, the idea of the “typical tinker” may continue to change, but inventiveness and
intelligence will always be an important part.

World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Engineering
You are proficient with the Engineering skill. If you are already proficient, you gain expertise to your checks. Creating
devices requires blueprints or discovery by cobbling.
Packrat
For the purposes of calculating encumbrance, you are counted as a large creature.
Cobble
Also starting at 1st level, you may create a 1-use firearm, gadget, or bomb with a 3-turn action. You may petition the GM
on what spell effect the gadget replicates, and the GM decides the most fitting gadget. You can expend a number of
Engineering Points equal to your maximum -1 points (1 point at 1st level). You must spend the normal cost of floating
materials to create this device, and the device disintegrates after a single use (whether it be successful or not).
There is a 5% chance that the tinker memorize the blueprint for the cobbled device for one day (usually long enough to
write down the formula). This can be used once before a long rest, then an additional time per day per 4 levels.
Knack for It
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your bonus action to make an Agility (Sleight of Hand) check, use your thieves’ tools to
disarm a trap or open a lock, or take the Use Object (any technological device) action. This does not allow you to activate
two gadgets at any given round.
Tech Know-How
Also starting at 2nd level, you may reduce the total cost and crafting time of engineered devices by 25%.
Tinker Path
At 3rd level, you choose a path that you emulate in the exercise of your tinker abilities: Bomber who focuses on creating
explosives, the Gunner who focuses on creating and shooting with firearms, and Gadgeteer who focuses on creating
wondrous gadgets, all detailed at the end of the class description.
Your path choice grants you features at 3rd level and then again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.
Superfunction
Starting at 5th level, whenever you use a device, there is a chance it performs unexpectedly well. The chance for a
superfunction is equal to the chance for a malfunction, with the determining dice result range equal to the malfunction
range (for instance, an explosive that malfunctions on a 1-3 can superfunction on a 18-20).
When a device superfunctions, it does not roll for a malfunction for the duration of the effect (see below, affected by
energy source).
● Mechanical/Electricity/Necromancy/Elemental: When the device superfunctions, the next 1d4 uses consume no
charges (but do consume bullets if possible). This does not apply if the device has one use only.
● Steam/Combustion: When the device superfunctions, it either gains a 25% increase in movement speed (if a
construct or vehicle), or deals maximum damage (no need to roll) with any damage rolls it makes (if an explosive,
firearm, or damaging gadget). If the device neither moves or deals damage, it negates the next malfunction it
recieves for one minute instead.
Scavenge
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Starting at 10th level, when you gather raw materials for use with engineering, you gain triple the total value in silver.
Reliability
Starting at 11th level, you lower the malfunction rate of all devices you use by one point per half your Proficiency bonus
(minimum 1).
Evasion
Also starting at 11th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath
or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make an Agility saving throw to take only
half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. If you make
a saving throw versus an effect made by you, you can either take half damage automatically or make a saving throw. If you
choose to make a saving throw, you take no damage on a successful save, but take normal (full) damage on a failed save.
Improved Cobble
Starting at 13th level, you may use a cobbled device twice before it disintegrates. The chance you can discover a new
blueprint increases to 10% per cobble attempt. The cobbled device also costs 15% less than normal (this stacks with tech
know-how and improved tech know-how).
Quick Tech
Also starting at 15th level, you may alter the invested properties of any device you handle (even those not used by you).
This takes 3 turns of handling the device.
For example, this allows you to increase the damage or range of a firearm, reduce the hit dice of a construct or vehicle
(negatively only), or triple the malfunction rate of any device you handle.
Shutdown
Starting at 17th level, you may expend a use of Coolness under Fire to re-roll a malfunction or inactive check result, or
force the malfunction rate of any device within 30 feet of you to increase to by 5 points. This penalty remains for one hour.
Personal Expertise
Starting at 18th level, whenever you activate a device you created and are using, you lower the malfunction rate by two
points (minimum 1 malfunction rating).
Engineering Mastery
Starting at 20th level, you may identify the weaknesses and command triggers for any device you see, and can operate and
recreate it from memory, even if you don’t have the blueprints, and you gain resistance to all effects stemming from your
own devices (such as firearm shots, explosions, etc.).
Tinker Path
An Azerothian tinker may choose one of the three below paths.
Bomber
A bomber is a tinker who focuses on bombs, mines, and rockets the utility of such explosive weaponry, and often also
makes use of mortars, rocket launchers, and mine launchers to control the terrain and deal massive damage to their
enemies. Bombers are also known as grenadiers.
Expanded Effect. Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you increase the base range of your thrown bombs,
mines, and rockets by 15 feet.
Blasting Effect [Strike]. Starting at 6th level, you may deal two additional dice of damage with any explosive effect in an
explosive area of effect. This is a [Strike] effect that can target only one creature within the blast.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Quick Bomber. Starting at 10th level, you may use a rocket, bomb, or mine as a reaction instead of an action. This may be
used one time per proficiency bonus. These uses replenish after a rest.
Precise Effects. Starting at 14th level, whenever you use a rocket, mine, or bomb, you may exclude a number of 5-foot
squares (creatures included) from its effects equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier.
Gunner
Also known as a gunsmith or shooter, a gunner tinker is not only a practiced gunsmith, but is also an excellent marksman.
Quick Reload. Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you may use a bonus action to reload a firearm.
Special Bullets. Starting at 6th level, you gain the spellcasting capabilities of a hunter whose level is equal to your own
(based on Intelligence, not Spirit). You may only cast Strike and Shot spells, however. These effects are considered
extraordinary and not spell-based, which means they ignore spell resistances and may be used without being disrupted by
anti-magic.
Point-Blank Shot. Starting at 10th level, you do not take disadvantage to your ranged attack roll while being within 5 feet
of a hostile creature. If using a firearm while adjacent to an enemy, you have advantage to the attack roll.
Cartridge Improvement. Starting at 14th level, you may count your Engineering Point investment as if it were four points
higher for the purposes of calculating cartridge capacity for firearms you create.
Gadgeteer
Also known as a general tinkerers, Mecha-users, and drivers, gadgeteers replicate many effects through their gadgets, and
are very versatile.
Quick Cooldown. Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you reduce the cooldown of your gadgets and
activation of your constructs and Mecha are 2d4 rounds instead of a minute. If the gadget is also a quick-use gadget, its
cooldown is one full round instead.
Extensive Designing. Starting at 6th level, you may increase the spell levels replicated by your gadgets to becoming 1 spell
level per Engineering Point invested (maximum 6th level). You may also command gadgets from within a vehicle or
Mecha.
Efficient Engineering. Starting at 10th level, your devices do not lose charges when they are harmed, and all your devices
(Except bombs and firearms) gain 1 additional fuel or energy for every point invested.
Protective Shell. Starting at 14th level, whenever you are wearing a gadget harness, or are within a vehicle or Mecha, you
have resistance to all damage. This applies after sharing damage with the vehicle or mecha (possibly taking only 25% of all
damage), but this ability is inactive if you are no longer protected, such if the harness itself is destroyed.
Warlock (WKR)
Warlocks are arcane spellcasters who study dark arts and magics associated with demons and the Burning Legion. Due to
this, they gain a very deeply tainted reputation due to their tendencies to traffic and deal with demons. Hiding in cellars
and secret covens, warlocks are known for making secret pacts for permanent demonic companions that grow steadily in
power so long as the warlock does.
Warlocks are common in both the Alliance and Horde, though in most cases they serve the Burning Legion while
disguising their true loyalties.
Special: Any mage or shaman may convert each level it has to a warlock by making a pact with a demon (typically as
consequence of corruption or summoning). This typically corrupts them, and makes returning to their previous class
difficult if not impossible. Levels are exchanged on a 1:1 basis.

Demonic Studies
Starting at 1st level, Warlocks may speak Eredun, and do not need to make saving throws versus its corruptive influence.
However, they are (due to demonic promises) often more likely than others to seek out pacts willingly. The warlock is also
initiated into a warlock circle. You may choose a demonic study, which describes the way you take to power. You can
choose Affliction, the path of the withering magical casters, Demonology, who focus on their demonic allies and improving
them, or Destruction, who summons only the Hellfire of Hell and no more. Your choice grants you features when you
choose it at 1st level and again at 6th, 14th, and 18th level.
Demonic Invocation
You have learned to regain some of your mana by invoking fel mana. With a 3-turn action, you can regain mana equal to 4
+ your Warlock level. When used, you do not regenerate mana by rest or time for the next four hours. Unlike most
mana-restoring abilities, you can use this after restoring mana from a different source.
Spellcasting
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
As a trafficker in demonic forces, you have a grimoire containing spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power.
You cast spells from the Sorcerer spell list in the PHB and add all its spells to your spell list, and add all Warlock spells in
this document to your spell list as well.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. You learn additional warlock cantrips of
your choice at higher levels, equal to half your warlock level + 2 (maximum 6).
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells, since you strengthen your magic by summoning and tapping
into extraplanar beings.
You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier
when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spellbook – Grimoire
At 1st level, your grimoire contains six 1st-level warlock spells of your choice. When you level up, you gain 2 additional
warlock spells of your choice. You may also acquire new spells by research, tutelage, or from the spellbooks and scrolls of
spellcasters who have spells you can cast.
Your grimoire is effectively your spellbook, and you may add spells by scribing in new spells or your insights regarding the
planes and the powers you serve.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.
Soul Shards
At 2nd level, you tap into a deep and mysterious magic of souls. This wellspring is represented by soul shards, which allow
you to weaken your enemies or strengthen your own spells.
Soul Shards
By default, you have 2 soul shards, and cannot have more shards than your Warlock level. They fade at the end of one
hour or after a short rest.
You gain one soul shards by reducing living creatures to 0 hit points or less with your spells or melee attacks, or if any
creature is killed by one of your demon summons. You cannot gain more than half your maximum number of soul shards at
any given hour.
● Cabal Casting: Warlocks are known for being cooperative casters, unlike magi and wizards. A cabal of warlocks
may gather into casting a ritual or summoning spell. If each of them contribute one soul shard per spell level, the
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
spell is heightened by one spell level (counted as if it were cast from a spell higher by one level). This requires at
least four warlocks. A cabal cannot also quicken such a summon.
● Enhanced Conjuring: You may consume one soul shard per spell level, and quicken any Conjure spell of a casting
time of 1 minute to cost only an 1 action (though you cannot move for one round after casting).
You may also spend 1 soul shard to concentrate on any conjure spell, so you may concentrate on another spell. You
must still roll Concentration checks when hit (roll once per spell every time you suffer damage).
● Soul Magic: With a bonus action, you can force a living creature or an undead to take disadvantage against a
saving throw of one of your spells, or can gain advantage to your own attack rolls to such targets. This functions
up to 5th level spells, and costs one soul shard per spell level.
Fiendish Alliance
You can always prepare the Conjure Fiend spell, even without your spellbook. When a fiend you summoned is reduced to
0 hit points, you may transfer to them your own hit points as a reaction. You may only transfer enough hit points to leave
them at 1 hit point. This requires that you and the fiend be within 60 feet of one another.
You may have one Conjure Fiend spell active at any time. The fiend is treated as a companion that accompanies you on
your adventures, advises you in the ways of demonology, and teaches you magical spells. A fiendish ally usually only
grants spells once you complete tasks set by it (the fiend is controlled by the DM). This ability otherwise works as the
Beastmaster Hunter’s Hunter’s Companion ability. The fiend controlled by this ability is not treated as if you are
concentrating on it.
When you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your conjured fiend to make one attack
of its own.
Warlocks usually use this ability to summon imps (3rd level), Voidwalkers (5th level), Fel Hounds (8th level), Succubi
(13th level), and Felguards (17th level).
Soul Vault
When you reach 20th level, you may gain two soul shards instead of one per every enemy reduced to 0 hit points as a
result of your spells, and may restore your soul shard pool to full at least once at any given hour.
Whenever a creature conjured by you reduces a creature to 0 or below hit points, you also gain one soul shard as if you
slew them personally. This must be done within 90 feet of you.
Warlock Studies
An Azerothian warlock may choose one of the three below archetypes.
Affliction
An affliction warlock focuses on greater use of debilitation spells, and slowly corrupts their enemies.
Haunt. Starting at 1st level, you gain the Mystic Blast feat, which deals 1d4 Fel damage per every accessed spell level (see
the feat for description).
When casting a debilitate spell, you may use a single soul shard to also use your Haunt ability against the same target
without an action. This still requires a ranged spell attack, but the range of the ability becomes equal to the range of the
debilitate spell.
Infestation. Also starting at 1st level, you may use a soul shard to inflict another effect of a debilitating spell on a target in
the same round. This does not require an action, and does not consume a use of the debilitate effect. This can only trigger
against one given creature per long rest, however.
Soul Swap. Starting at 6th level, you may alter the target of a debilitate spell effect as a bonus action, targeting any eligible
target within a range equal to the spell’s original range. The spell’s effects take place at the new target’s turn as usual.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Seeds of Corruption. Starting at 14th level, if you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a damaging debilitate or
single-target channel spell effect, you may deal the damage again in a 30-foot burst.
Corruptive Influence. Starting at 18th level, if any target of a debilitate spell or single-target channeling spell effect you cast
dies, you may alter the target without dispelling the effect. Seed of Corruption still triggers as normal.
Demonology
A demonology warlock focuses on greater use of fiendish summoning spells, and willingly corrupts themselves for greater
power, soon creating their own demonic residence.
Blood Pact. Starting at 1st level, all demons summoned or bonded to you gain a bonus to their maximum hit points equal to
double your level. You may also add your proficiency bonus to all your demonic allies attack rolls and saving throws.
Demonic Echoes. Also starting at 1st level, you may count demons as humanoids for all humanoid-specific spells by using a
soul shard. You may at any time grant your hit points to them as a reaction on their round, or a bonus action on your
round. You may also drain their hit points (at a 2:1 ratio), though you can only benefit from their hit points once every
long rest.
Dark Bond. Starting at 6th level, you can concentrate on two conjure fiend spells at any given time.
Dark Secrets. Starting at 14th level, you gain advantage to all saves versus spells, except those who deal Holy damage, and
gain immunity to one basic elemental damage type (Chosen between acid. cold, electricity, and fire). You may also use a
soul shard and a reaction to grant one demonic ally advantage to its first attack during a round, or impose disadvantage to
the attacker targeting it.
Demon-Soul. Starting at 18th level, whenever you summon a demonic creature by a spell or use your demonic alliance
ability to summon a fiend (as per the Conjure Fiend spell), you may summon another fiend of the same or lower level
(these are counted as if concentrating on the same spell). Thus you may summon a succubus and a felguard, or an imp and
a felhound, or two succubi or felguards.
When you are killed, your spirit is taken to an demiplane (see the spell) that is owned by you, where you return to life in
the matter of 1d10 days, nurtured by any demonic allies you have employed, enslaved, or befriended. While in your
demiplane, you may have all your demonic allies active at the same time.
Destruction
A destruction warlock is a master of chaos, calling down fires to burn and demolish their foes.
Chaos Magic. Starting at 1st level, any fire spell you use that deals damage deals an additional 1d6 points of fel damage.
Any fel spell that deals damage deals an additional 1d6 points of fire damage. Spells that deal both fire and fel damage gain
an additional 1d10 damage from either types (your choice). If you use a soul shard as a bonus action while casting an
eligible spell, you may increase the number of chaos magic dice to be equal to the spell level.
Havoc. Also at 1st level, you may target two creatures with a single-targeting damaging spell from your class list that does
not have a range of touch or self. This only functions if the two targets are within 30 ft. of one another, and this costs a
soul shard. You may also use this with single-target channeling spells that deal damage (such as drain life).
Searing Magics. Starting at 6th level, you may also target a creature with an action to make it more susceptible to your fire
and fel magical damage. If the target is immune to fire, it becomes resistant to the damage. If it is resistant, it loses the
resistance. If it has no resistance, it becomes vulnerable. If it was previously vulnerable, it takes triple damage. The benefits
of this ability may be used once per short or long rest.
Incinerate. Whenever you deal fire damage to an enemy with a spell (though the spell or through your chaos magic
ability), you may use a soul shard to perform one of the three below tasks. This triggers once per round.
● Set the target (or object) on fire, dealing 1d6 until the flame is extinguished. While set on fire, a creature is
considered poisoned, taking disadvantage to attack rolls and ability checks.
● Cast as a bonus action any debilitate spell you have prepared.
● If the target is reduced to 0 hit points, you can deal 6d6 damage in a 30-foot burst centered on the target.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Soul Burner. Starting at 18th level, you may always count your fire and fel spells as if they have double range. If the spell
has an area of effect, you may double the area of effect. When you incinerate a target (see Incinerate), and have no soul
shards, you regain one soul shard.
Warrior (WAR)
For as long as war has raged, heroes from every race have aimed to master the art of battle. Warriors combine strength,
leadership, and a vast knowledge of arms and armor to wreak havoc in glorious combat. Some protect from the front lines
with shields, locking down enemies while allies support the warrior from behind with spell and bow. Others forgo the
shield and unleash their rage at the closest threat with a variety of deadly weapons.
Warriors are common in both the Horde and the Alliance. High elf swordmasters and spellbreakers, human knights and
footmen, orc grunts and raiders, and troll ambushers and warlords are but racial reflections to the universal art of war.

Fighting Style
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. 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.
Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that
weapon.
Protection
When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to
impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.
Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Second Wind
You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On your turn, you can use a
bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your warrior level. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or
long rest before you can use it again.
Action Surge
Starting at 2nd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one
additional action on top of your regular action and a possible bonus action. Once you use this feature, you must finish a
short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the
same turn.
Shout
Starting at 2nd level, the warrior can rally or empower their allies or demoralize or harass their enemies by using their
Shout ability. A shout costs a bonus action to start and maintain every round. The Stamina saving throw DCs for Shouts
and Shout abilities are equal to 8 + proficiency bonus + Stamina modifier. These are a Thunder effects that do not
function in silent areas. Starting at the following levels, a Warrior gains a shout effect. If a shout is not maintained, it fades
at the beginning of the warrior’s next turn. After using a shout, the warrior cannot use it again until they rest. Shouts are
concentration effects, and require the warrior pass a Stamina saving throw to maintain it if they are damaged (DC 10 or
half damage taken), or else lose the benefits of the shout.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Battle Starting 2nd level, all hostile suffer additional damage equal to your proficiency bonus. This acts exactly as the
Death Knight’s Abandonment Aura ability.
Taunt Starting at 6th level, you may challenge one enemy to a fair duel. The enemy must make a Spirit saving throw or be
affected by the Compelled Duel spell until the end of your next turn. If the creature moves away more than 60 feet or
cannot hear you, the effect ends for it, and it cannot be targeted again for 24 hours.
Intimidate Starting at 10th level, all hostile enemies must make a Spirit saving throw or be frightened until the end of your
next turn. Creatures can roll another saving throw at the end of every one of their turns. If the creature moves away more
than 60 feet or cannot hear you, the effect ends for it, and it cannot be targeted again for 24 hours.
Rally Starting at 14th level, all allied creatures are invigorated. They gain an increase their maximum hit points by half
your level and can spend a single hit dice to heal themselves. The bonus to maximum hit points remains for one hour. A
creature cannot benefit from this more than once in any given 24 hours. If the creature was already at maximum hit points,
it’s current hit points increase to equal its maximum hit points.
Howl Starting at 18th level, all hostile creatures are treated as if slowed (as the slow spell) for one round if they fail a
Spirit saving throw. Creatures can roll another saving throw at the end of every one of their turns. If said creature move
away more than 60 feet or cannot hear you, the effect ends for it, and it cannot be targeted again for 24 hours. This is a
fear effect.
Warrior Archetype
At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate in your combat styles and techniques. Choose between
the Arms Warrior, a champion in using great-weapons, the Fury Warrior, who focuses on bleeding his enemies and
debilitating them tactically, or the Protection Warrior who focuses on defense while reflecting physical damage. All are
detailed at the end of the class description. The archetype you choose grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th,
10th, 15th, and 18th level.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. The
number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this
class.
Warrior’s Talent
Starting at 9th level, you gain one of the following talents, representing your preferred tactics and adaptability at the field
of battle. Choose from between Indomitable, Heroic Throw, Heroic Leap, Shockwave, Thunderclap, and Wind Walk.
These abilities may be used once when gained before a long rest, but gain another use at levels 13 and 17, or you may
(instead of upgrading the uses) choose another ability. All abilities have DCs of 8 + Proficiency + Strength if they allow a
saving throw.
● Heroic Leap You may make a heroic leap, jumping up to twice your normal distance, and making an attack roll at
the end. A successful attack roll deals damage equal to your normal weapon damage, except that damage is dealt
as a burst of 5 feet on the area you hit, with an Agility saving throw to half. The ground is also turned into
difficult terrain (such as rubble) when applicable.
● Heroic Throw You may enhance your thrown or melee weapons for one minute. While enhanced, you may
perform melee attacks at a range of 60 feet by throwing your weapon, or use thrown weapons and increase their
range by 60 feet. The weapon returns at your turn or drops the target prone (Agility negates), allowing you to
attack multiple times.
● Indomitable You can reroll a saving throw that you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, even if it is lower
than the initial roll.
● Shockwave You may use your action to emit a shockwave from your weapon by slamming it into the ground. This
deals your melee weapon attack damage in a 5-foot thick line 60 feet long, dealing your weapon damage to all
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
creatures in the area of effect, plus 2d6 bludgeoning damage. Targets in this line may perform an Agility saving
throw to half damage.
● Thunderclap You may use your action to emit a shockwave from your weapon by slamming it into the ground.
This acts as Shockwave spell, but the area of effect is a 10-foot burst centered on you, and the extra 2d6 damage is
Thunder damage. Targets hit also reduce their speed by 10 feet, unless they succeeded on the Agility saving throw
to half damage. This reduction to speed remains for one minute.
● Wind Walk You may use your action to wind-walk, rendering yourself invisible as per the spell, and granting
yourself +10 to your speed. While in this stance, you must continue moving or else this effect dissipates. Your first
attack while performing Wind Walk adds +2d8 damage, and breaks the invisibility as normal. This is a
supernatural ability.
Warrior Archetypes
The warrior can choose from one of the below archetypes.
Arms
Arms warriors focus on wielding great weapons, and dealing great amounts of damage to both single targets and multiple
weak ones by cleaving.
Sweeping Strikes [Strike]. Starting at 3rd level, when you successfully attack and damage a creature, you may use your
bonus action to deal your Strength modifier in damage to any number of creatures 5 feet away from it. This is a strike
effect that costs a bonus action.
Bladestorm [Stance]. Starting at 7th level, you may go into a bladestorm with an action. While in this stance, you must use
your action and bonus action every round, dealing your weapon damage to all creatures you wish within 5 feet of you, plus
5 damage from Sweeping Strikes. Affected targets are entitled an Agility saving throw to half all damage. You have
advantage against all movement-impairing effects while in a bladestorm, and you do not provoke reactions from movement.
Your speed is halved in a bladestorm, but you may affect all creatures, even if you do not stop next to their space. If you
are unable to invest your action or move at a rate of half your speed or higher, this effect ends. This can be used a number
of times equal to your proficiency bonus before a rest.
Bloodthirst Strike [Strike]. Starting at 15th level, you may, after successfully damaging an enemy, you gain hit points equal
to double your Proficiency bonus. You may grant half the benefits to any ally within 30 feet. This is a strike effect that
costs a bonus action.
Mortal Strike [Strike]. Starting at 10th level, you may severely wound a creature’s healing capabilities if you successfully
apply a mortal strike. If a creature is affected by a Mortal Strike, they take 50% less healing from all sources for one
minute. This is a strike effect that costs a bonus action. A creature cannot be affected by this ability more than once in 24
hours.
Weapon Specialization. Starting at 18th level, you gain an additional effect depending on the type of damage your weapon
deals. This effect only triggers once per round, and only on a critical attack. All effects that allow a save refer to the
target’s Stamina saving throw opposed to your Strength, and cannot target a creature more than once every 24 hours.
● Slashing. You may perform two strike effects with a single bonus action.
● Bludgeoning. The target is stunned for one round.
● Piercing. The target takes 2d6 extra damage.
Fury
Fury warriors equip themselves with two weapons, and slice their enemies to ribbons while shouting vengeance.
Strike the Wound. Starting at 3rd level, whenever you hit the same enemy more than once in the same round, you increase
your critical chance by 1 point (from 20, to 19-20, etc.), to a maximum of 15-20. This ‘counter’ resets at the end of your
round.
Overpower. Starting at 7th level, if you miss an attack roll, you may attack again, increasing your critical range by two
points. This is usable once per point of Stamina modifier. All uses can be regained after a long rest. This can be used with
strike effects.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Battle Commands. Starting at 10th level, you may shout or maintain a shout while attacking with your off-hand weapon.
The range of your shouts is reduced to 15 feet if you do this.
Hellscream. Starting at 14th level, all hostile creatures within range of your shouts take Thunder damage equal to half
your level whenever you shout or declare that you are maintaining a shout. They are entitled a Stamina saving throw to
half damage opposed by your own Stamina.
Bloody Ribbons. Starting at 18th level, you may make another attack whenever you critically hit an enemy. If this hit is a
critical hit, you may continue to hit so long as you are critically hitting the opponent.
Protection
Protection warriors are vanguards of an army, decking themselves with heavy armors and a reliable shield, deflecting and
guarding any attacks that may affect their allies.
Block and Tackle. Starting at 3rd level, you may use a reaction to block an attack that targets you, reducing the damage by
1d12 + Stamina modifier. This requires a shield. If this reduces the damage to under 0, you may use the same reaction to
attack the target with an opportunity attack. This is usable once per point of Stamina modifier. All uses can be regained
after a rest.
Sundering Strike [Strike]. Starting at 7th level, you may sunder an enemy’s armor, reducing their AC by a value equal to
your Proficiency bonus (but never below that of their AC if unarmored). This effect remains until the armor is tended to,
and cannot target the same target twice in 24 hours. This is a strike effect that costs a bonus action.
Vigilance. Starting at 10th level, you add an additional +1d12 to your ability to block damage. Whenever you perform an
opportunity attack derived from your block talent, you perform one of the following abilities.
Vanguard. Starting at 15th level, whenever you are below half your hit points, you gain 1d12 + Stamina temporary hit
points at the beginning of every round. These temporary hit points do not stack with themselves.
Improved Second Wind. Starting at 18th level, you may use Second Wind three times before requiring rest. Whenever you
use it, you gain resistance to all types of damage for one round after use, and advantage versus the first spell targeting you
in the next minute.
Apothecary (Tinker)
Apothecaries are students, researchers, and scientists of the Royal Apothecary Society of Undercity. They are tireless in
studying the effects of poisons and plagu
es on both the living and the undead, and are also one of the strongest scientific forces in Azeroth. Apothecaries are
support soldiers who brew and concoct potions and poultices to support (or create) soldiers on the field. Apothecaries also
work tirelessly to replicate the work of the Scourge's necromancers, creating abomination constructs, meatwagon vehicles,
and (for the intrepid forsaken adventurer) skull-shaped grenades and grim-looking firearms.
Special. Apothecaries are usually undead tinkerers who focus on advanced and esoteric alchemy. A forsaken tinkerer can
study the path of the apothecary long before they formally enter the order (upon gaining the archetype). They modify
their below features:
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Engineering. You can create undead as if they were normal constructs. Apothecaries usually create abominations from
corpses and specially-chosen victims (allowing you to make undead with the engineering skill as if they were normal
constructs). As a result of the focus on construct-building, however, you lower your effective proficiency bonus when
crafting firearms and explosives by 1 point.
You also gain proficiency with a poisoner's kit, and start out with two soul gems (CR 1) as fuel instead of liquid
phlogiston.
APOTHECARY SPECIALIZATION
Forsaken Alchemy. Starting when you gain this archetype, you gain proficiency with alchemy with two casting sources:
Priest and Mage, although you are restricted to the necromancy, enchantment, illusion, and transmutation schools. Your
effective caster level is equal to half your tinker level (or 1 at level 3), reaching a maximum effective caster level of 10.
Apothecaries usually prepare their spells into potions and pour them (or throw them) on targets such as corpses (for
animate dead) and living beings (for death coil, false life, etc.). They typically prepare the below spells at the following
levels (although the list is not exclusive).
You may also add the following spells to your effective spell list (despite them normally falling under different schools):
Death Ward, Darkness, Nondetection, Power Word: Fortitude, Protection from Poison, Magic Weapon, Dispel Magic,
and Speak With Dead.
Walking Biohazard. Starting at 6th level, taking advantage of your undead nature, you can secrete or develop poisons and
diseases in your body. You may declare development of a disease or poison 24 hours before you can secrete it. After 24
hours have passed, you can conjure up doses of said poison or disease per proficiency bonus. This can be done once in a 24
hour circle.
You cannot develop a disease or poison that would otherwise affect you in this way. The DC to resist the poison or
disease cannot exceed a value equal to 10 + half your class level.
Expert Poisoner. Starting at 10th level, whenever you deliver a poison, disease, or even a potion, you increase the DC,
damage, or duration of the effect increases by 2 points (or two rounds if possible). When using a syringe, injecting a foe
costs no action (although the attack must still be successful).
Weird Science. Starting at 14th level, whenever you create or summon undead or constructs via engineering or Animate
Undead or Animate Construct spells, you may design or cast the spells to run on a mixture of soul-magic and electricity.
All your constructs and undead gain Blindsight against living and undead creatures, as well as constructs and devices that
work off an electrical source.
Special: The Demon Hunter class can be unlocked by a ritual of self-scarification and mana vampirism against a demon.
The character then may choose the Demon Hunter archetype of the Rogue Class, or retrain their class into becoming a
Rogue who can qualify to be a demon hunter. Warlocks who turn against the Burning Legion may exchange their class on
a 1:1 ratio, such as death knights or warlocks do with their previous classes of paladin or mage and shaman (respectively).
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Special: A draenei who takes on the mantle of demon hunter may alter their Gift of the Naaru ability, casting the Mind
Blast spell instead, as the draenei takes on the psychic powers of the Eredar in exchange of the holy powers of the Naaru.
This extremely uncommon sacrifice also takes its toll on the draenei’s body, slowly morphing their appearance through
extended exposure to fel magic to be more like the Eredar.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the Warlock spell list. You learn additional Warlock cantrips of
your choice at higher levels, equal to one-third your Demon Hunter level + 2 (maximum 4).
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Warlock spells, since your magic draws upon your attunement to fel powers.
You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier
when setting the saving throw DC for a Warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spectral Sight. Also starting at 3rd level, you gain the supernatural ability to automatically detect demons and celestials on
sight so long as they are within 30 feet or closer. This is treated as the Detect Evil and Good spell. After three rounds of
observation, you can also detect if a creature has active mana (such as by being a spellcaster or while subject to an active
spell). Similarly, you know if there is a place or object within 30 feet that has been magically consecrated or desecrated (see
the Hallow spell).
This vision can penetrate most barriers, but is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3
feet of wood or dirt.
Special: This power comes at a cost--most colors are faded to the character. Although this does not mean everything is in
black or white, the character suffers disadvantage to any color-based Spirit (Perception) check that does not also involve
creatures detected by this ability (such as hiding in camouflage).
Special II: Alternatively, the character can opt to not gain this benefit and gain Darkvision 60 feet instead.
Dark Metamorphosis. Starting at 9th level, you may use a bonus action to metamorphosize into a demonic creature. You
may stay in this state 10 minutes, and gain the following benefits while metamorphosized:
● You gain the benefit of Mage Armor, and add your level to your maximum hit points so long as you are
transformed. Your Strength becomes 18, or remains as it is (if higher than 18).
● You gain demonic wings, allowing you to glide so long as you are in the form. For every 10 feet of distance you
fall, you can move 30 feet in any direction. You can also instead take no fall damage so long as you can exercise
your wings. If you are restrained or otherwise encumbered, you cannot make use of your wings.
● You may attack with your horns or claws as melee weapon attacks, dealing 1d6 piercing damage or 1d4 slashing
damage respectively (plus your strength as normal), and fly at a speed of 30 ft. (you can hover). Your melee
weapons are treated as if they are +1 weapons. These are treated as light natural weapons.
● While transformed, you are treated as a fiend for all spell-related variables, and add +1 to the DCs of all your
spells from the warlock spell list, although you can only cast warlock spells that modify or target mana (such as
mana burn or mana shield), as well as direct-damage spells that deal fel damage (as orb of annihilation or shadow
bolt).
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
The state can be left with a bonus action, and once it has been used, it cannot be used again for a short rest.
You may also retain one of the below traits indefinitely, as your metamorphosis is more internal than external.
● Claws: You may retain your claws (see above). You may draw back your claws at will to hide them (does not cost
an action).
● Wings: You may retain your wings.
● Horns: You may retain your horns (see above). You may not hide them.
Sorcerous Thirst. Starting at 13th level, whenever you perform mana vampirism (see Chapter 6) versus demons to drain
their mana, you gain double the normal mana.
You can also gain one use of their innate special abilities, usable only once, although this costs no mana. The demon hunter
cannot use this ability to cast a spell that has a spell level equal to or more than half his Demon Hunter level.
After benefitting from a mana vampirism against a fiend, your weapons are always treated as magical versus demons for 1
hour, as the residual fel energies are being used by you against the demons' defenses.
For Example: Draining a Felhound allows the demon hunter to utilize their Mana Burn innate ability, or a succubus’s
Sleep or Modify Memory spell.
Dread Foe. Starting at 17th level, you may use a bonus action to vault, moving at half your total speed in a way that does
not provoke reactions. Whenever you do provoke reactions from movement, you can make an attack of opportunity. The
distance of a vault’s jump is treated as if the demon hunter was always under the effects of the Jump spell.
Your weapons are also always treated as if magical when attacking demons.
Lightslayer (Rogue)
A shadow in the night, the lightslayer moves with the sound of a whisper to extinguish light wherever you find it —
specifically, you extinguish the followers of the Holy Light. The lightslayer embraces the teachings of the Forgotten
Shadow and develops personal power by slaying their hated foes.
A branch of the Cult of Forgotten Shadow, led by a former soldier, trained the first lightslayers to combat Scarlet Crusade
raids. Originally the cult envisioned lightslayers as dark knights who would ride into battle against the agents of the Holy
Light. To the cult’s dismay, the Crusade’s organized tactics ran roughshod over the newly trained dark knights.
Another branch of the cult, this one led by a charismatic and pragmatic Forsaken named Ilius, liked the concept of
lightslayers but disagreed with their implementation. Ilius had been a human scout in life, but before that he had made a
living as a sneak thief and burglar. He recalled those skills now to train a few faithful cultists and sent them on solitary
missions against the Scarlet Crusade. These lightslayers proved much more effective, and their use has spread to many
branches of the Forgotten Shadow.
Once indoctrinated, a lightslayer receives missions to combat the Holy Light, particularly the Scarlet Crusade (though
Knights of the Silver Hand and ordinary priests and parishioners are also fair game). These missions range from ambush to
outright assassination.
Extinguisher. Beginning at 3rd level, have all divine casters who follow the light as favored enemies (as the hunter class
feature of the same name). This does not necessarily include all characters who follow or believe in the light, but only
those who channel its power. Your melee and ranged (but not spell) attacks against them deal an extra 2 points of damage.
You also have advantage on stealth checks in dim light or darkness.
Sin Shield. Also starting at 3rd level, you have advantage versus all divine spells cast by your favored enemies, and
advantage to all checks to avoid being scried upon or identified by magic.
Elusive, Persistent Shadow. Starting at 9th level, you gain the ability to teleport yourself from your current location to any
spot within 250 feet once per day. This ability otherwise functions as the Dimension Door spell. You gain another use of
this ability at level 14, and another at level 19.
Dark Senses. Starting at level 15, you gain the ability to cast the Scrying spell twice per day. If the target is a favored
enemy, they take disadvantage versus saving throws versus the spell. You can also sense if a favored enemy is casting a
divine spell within 3 miles. If within 1 mile of them, you can spend an action to force them to roll a Spirit saving throw
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
(DC 8 + Intelligence + Proficiency bonus). If they fail, they are stunned for 1 turn. A creature can be subjected to this
effect once per 24 hours.
Titanic Spark: Dwarven Avatar. Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast spells as a mage of an effective caster
level equal to half your Mountain King level (or 1 at level 3). You do require spellbooks, however they appear in the form
of inscriptions and engravings on your armor and weapons. You may cast spells from the abjuration, evocation, and
transmutation schools, although you may only choose lightning-based spells when preparing evocation spells.
You may add and cast the Investiture of Stone spell as a 5th level spell instead of a 6th level spell, and you do not need to
concentrate on the effect. While under the spell's effects, you double the benefits from your Stance of the Mountain
feature (reduce damage by 6 before applying resistances, gain 4 reactions, and push targets 20 feet), and its effects are
never disrupted so long as you are conscious.
Slash and Smash. Also starting at at 3rd level, whenever you hit the same enemy more than once in the same round with a
slashing and a bludgeoning weapon, you increase your critical chance by 1 point (from 20, to 19-20, etc.), to a maximum of
15-20.
Stance of the Mountain. Starting at 7th level, you may enter a stance with a bonus action. So long as you are in this
stance, you reduce the physical damage you take by 3 points, and gain 2 extra reactions.
When executing a melee attack of opportunity while under the effects of this stance, you push the target 10 feet on a
successful attack roll. If you move more than half your speed, the effects of this stance are disrupted.
Bleed and Bash. Starting at 10th level, when you land a critical hit with a slashing weapon, you reduce the target's speed
to half for 1 hour or until the damage you dealt is fully healed. When you land a critical hit with a bludgeoning weapon,
you may make a Strength save and oppose your results with the target's Strength or Agility saving throw. If your save
result is higher, they are stunned for 1 round.
King and Wealth Under the Mountain. Starting at 15th level, you may spend three days studying the defenses of a
fortification, castle, or any type of defensive structure. At the end of the three days, you may use your Stance of the
Mountain without spending a bonus action, and you may move your full speed without disrupting the stance. Also, when
you cast the spell Stoneskin through your Titanic Spark spellcasting feature, the cost of the material component (regardless
of the target) is 25 gp instead of 100.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
their blessing - shadow hunters gain special abilities only the Loa can grant. As they grow in experience, the shadow
hunters' bond with the Loa strengthens and their connection to these powerful voodoo spirits eventually gives them the
ability to curse and heal at a whim.
This archetype is restricted to worshipers of the Loa, which are overwhelmingly trolls.
Loa Spellcasting. Starting once gaining this archetype, you merge your spell list with that of the shaman. You do not gain
the increased spellcasting capabilities or access to higher spell levels, but you add all shaman spells into your spell list
(including totems, healing spells, and elemental spells), at the cost of all [Shot] and [Strike] spells.
When casting a spell derived from the shaman spell list and not the hunter spell list, you spend 1 additional mana point to
cast the spell.
Your spellcasting otherwise follows the same rules as the shaman class, although your totems are your masks.
Mask Magic. Starting from 3rd level, you can wear various masks can provide blessings. It costs a bonus action to wear a
mask, and each can be used once before a long rest.
● Legba Mask. This grants the exceptional aura of a Paladin's Concentration Aura. This aura remains for one hour.
● Lukou Mask. This mask allows you to add your Spirit modifier to the final number of hit points healed by your
spells. This can be added to the final damage to undead cured by your spells. This mask grants the benefit for one
hour.
● Shango Mask. The storm mask allows you to add your Spirit modifier to the final number of damage points dealt
by your lightning spells. This mask grants the benefit for one hour.
Voodoo Ritualist. Starting from 7th level, you may multiple the casting time of your spells by three via a magical (and
often noisy) mask-dance to heighten it by one spell level. This increase does not stack with itself.
If the spell cost an action, it costs 3 actions instead. If it costs a minute, it costs 3 minutes. If it cost an hour, it costs 3 hours,
etc.
When conducting a ritual, this ability instead allows the shadow hunter to add the heightened spell level to the final spell
level.
Advanced Mask Magic. Starting at 11th level, you can add new masks to your repertoire of spells.
● Bwonsamdi Mask. You gain the ability to perform a Crusader Strike as a paladin of your level, and can use hunter
or shaman spells. This ability remains for one hour.
● Ogoun Mask. You can cast the Polymorph spell as if you had it set, although the spell can only turn hostile
creatures into frogs. This ability remains for one hour.
● Dambala Mask. The second twin of the Ogoun mask, you can cast the Polymorph spell as if you had it set,
although the spell can only turn you into a snake. This ability remains for one hour.
Big Bad Voodoo. Starting on 15th level, you can wear the ultimate mask; the Unnamed Dark Mask, and can spend three
turns of invoking it to manifest the strongest voodoo magic possible.
At the end of the dance, a number of allies equal to your Spirit modifier within 30 feet gain immunity to damage as per the
spell Divine Shield (Caster level equal to your hunter level). This needs concentration as the normal spell, and if you fail to
maintain it, it fades from every target. Unlike the spell, you cannot target yourself.
You can channel this effect instead of merely concentrating, during which the shield regains 5 hit points per round of
channeling. If you cannot maintain line of sight to your ally, the effect fades from them.
Spellcasting. When you reach 3rd level, you augment your martial prowess with the ability to cast spells.
Cantrips.
You learn two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn an additional mage cantrip of your choice at
10th level.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Spells Prepared
Each spell breaker level provides you with 0.5 levels in a spellcasting class (or level 1 at 3rd level). You follow the normal
progression to unlock spell levels (see the table under the Mana section).
You prepare spells from the mage spell list, but only spells from the abjuration or evocation schools.
When you reach 7th, 8th, 14, and 20 level in this class, you can alter one existing spell to be a spell from any other magic
school.
Your spellcasting otherwise follows the same rules as the mage class with regards to spellbooks, conjuring and binding, and
other concerns.
Spellcasting Ability.
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through study and memorization.
You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell Resistance. When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the ability to be exceptionally resistant to spells
and spell-like abilities, gaining advantage versus all spells that allow for spell resistance.
If the spellbreaker succeeds in saving against a spell it is targeted with with the original saving throw and the one granted
by advantage, he may use a reaction to absorb its magic, regaining mana points equal to the spell’s level.
Abjuring Knight. Starting at 7th level, you may cast the Dispel Magic spell with half normal mana cost (minimum 1), and
always have it prepared at your highest-level spell accessed.
You may also throw a two-bladed sword, treating it as a thrown weapon with a range of 10/30 feet. This may deliver
melee strikes at range, and the two-bladed sword returns after the attack roll is resolved, but allowing for only one melee
strike every round.
Feedback. At 10th level, whenever you dispel a magical effect from a creature, you destroy 1 point of mana per spell level,
dealing 2 Arcane damage as the Mana Burn spell. If you dispel a debilitating effect from an ally, you may the
mana-burning effect to any hostile creature within 30 feet of you.
You may also cast Dispel Magic (as per Abjuring Knight) as a strike effect (costing a bonus action after a successful attack
roll).
Steal Magic. At 15th level, you may transfer a dispelled magical effect to another eligible creature within 30 ft. as a free
action. The new target is entitled a saving throw. This may be applied to beneficial and debilitating effects, using your
own spell save DC.
Control Summons. At 18th level, you may force a summoned creature to serve you and count you as an ally instead of
sending it back to where it came from when you successfully dispel the magics summoning it. This does not count versus
creatures that are not summoned by spells.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Discovery
Making new spells, alchemical formulae, and blueprints for engineering are all highly complicated tasks. It takes 2 weeks to
study a new spell, formula, or blueprint, and requires an amount of gold pieces dedicated for research equal to 50 x spell
level (if a spell or alchemical formula), or 75 x Engineering Points invested (if a blueprint).
The GM may impose additional requirements, such as requiring an elemental crystal for a firethrower (elemental engine)
or a blueprint of a normal vehicle to make a similar design.
Gathering Skills
Any skill that reasonably allows for the identification, collection, and preservation of raw materials may be used to gather
raw materials. These raw materials have a value that may be declared after the check is finished. Any resource-rich area
may be considered a resource node that may be used to harvest raw materials.
Value of Gathered Materials per hour of work = ½ Check results x Proficiency x ½ in silver pieces.
Multiply the result by 4 to have the yields of 8 hours. Every 50 silver piece of materials weighs 1 pound.
Gathered materials can be sold for half value, or be kept to use in crafting.
Examples of skills being used to gather are below.
This can be used against monsters to harvest monster For example, a first-level Warrior (with +1 to Spirit)

x CR x 4 in gold pieces. ¼) Rattlesnake has a maximum of 1 gold piece worth of
trophies, and one dose of poison (if any).
Production Skills
Any skill that can create a product out of materials is classified as a production skill. The time it takes to make a product
and the raw materials it takes depends on the cost of the item and its complexity.
Most production skills require proficiency in the tools used (such as blacksmith’s tools), but some are given to or restricted
by race or class only (such as Engineering or Alchemy). Proficiency in a skill infers proficiency with its tools.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Note: System below is optional, and supersedes the crafting rule of 5 gp of progress per day on crafting.
Crafting Rules
Crafting takes four components:
1. Time roughly equivalent to the complexity of the end product.
2. Raw materials equal to one-third that of the end product.
3. Proficiency with the tools (or skill) relevant.
4. Success on the Crafting check.
At the end of the allotted crafting time, and if the check is successful, the user crafts the item in question.
Crafting takes the specified time, cut down to the nearest hour.
In the above example, the first-level Warrior (if proficient with smith’s tools), can begin to forge a sword if he has access to
all the tools he needs (the game master may possibly require a forge to smelt raw iron into ingots). As a moderate
complexity item, it would take him one day if he has all the required materials, if he succeeds on a DC 15 Crafting check.
New Skills
Two new skills are presented as part of the conversion: Alchemy and Engineering.
Alchemy
Alchemy allows for one to create potions. Potions are magical items that are created by the Alchemy skill, and they are
brews that contain the power of a spell within them. The alchemist can infuse any spell they can cast into a potion as a
Crafting check if they possess Alchemy. This requires the ability to cast the spell in question, such as by knowing and
preparing it.
This consumes the mana required as normal. A spell with the ritual tag must be cast normally to be made into a potion. If
you do not normally have access to magic spells, but have an effective spellcaster’s level due to an ability or feat, you may
choose which spell list to access for your alchemical potions.
Activation. Drinking a potion, coating it on the user, etc. Creation. Creating a potion is considered moderate

requirements, although the trigger of activation is level 6 or higher. The alchemist’s effective caster level is
usually drinking the potion or throwing it as an equal to one-half his hit dice (maximum spell level
improvised weapon (20/60). replicated equal to 6).
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Engineering
Engineering allows for one to create technological devices. Such devices are non-magical items that are created with the
Engineering skill, and are classified into five groups, according to general type, which are Bombs, Firearms, Gadgets,
Constructs, and Mecha. Most engineering items deal concussive damage. Concussive damage is half bludgeoning, half
thunder. Divide the damage before applying resistances.
Prerequisites: Engineering requires at least 1 tinker level or an Intelligence of 15 or higher to become proficient with the
skill. A character that creates an engineering device is always proficient with it so long as they pass the Intelligence
requirements.

Special. Bombs can be planted on targets (with Sleight of Hand opposed to Perception) and exploded depending on the

Malfunction. On a malfunction with the activation of a bomb or mine (or attack roll with a rocket), there is a 30% chance

A firearm weighs 5 pounds if a light weapon, 10 if
medium, and 15 if heavy.
Special. Firearms can be equipped with bayonets (see equipment) that allow for a touch-blast strike.
Malfunction. On a malfunction with an attack roll with a firearm, it malfunctions, performing one of the two effects (as
declared by the GM, or rolled randomly):
Jam The firearm jams, requiring a minute to clean it out.
Explode The gunpowder inside explodes, dealing the firearm’s normal damage in a 10-foot-sphere, centered on the firearm
itself. The user and any affected creature may perform an Agility check to half damage. The damage dealt is half fire, half
bludgeoning, and the firearm takes the respective damage.
Special.Regular crossbows are similar to firearms, using mechanical (clockwork) engines. The reload property counts as a
charge. By default, crossbows do not have malfunction chances, however, but can be upgraded as firearms (gaining
malfunction chances as normal). Crossbows start with 1 capacity.
Gadgets
Examples. Gnomish mind-control helmet, goblin rocket boots, grappling hook shooter, and rocket launchers.
These technological devices act like items that replicate A gadget’s properties and charges depend on its energy

and requires one minute of cooldown between uses. If a spell is a touch spell that may also target other
creatures, creating it as a harness increases the spell’s
duration by 25%.
Malfunction: On a malfunction with the activation roll with a gadget, it is either drained or overheated (as declared by
the DM, or rolled randomly).
Drain It loses 1d4 charges, and may be used after a minute. If this reduction takes it to -1 charge, the gadget cannot be used
until it regains full charges.
Overheat It begins an extended cooldown that remains for one hour.
Constructs
Examples. Constructs like the Alliance’s combat and harvest golems, the Scourge’s flesh golems, and the Burning Legion’s
Infernals.

The engineer may reduce the land speed by 1 foot to add it to flight speed, up to a minimum land speed of 0 feet.
Malfunction. On a malfunction with an activation roll with a construct, it either shuts down, is haywire, burns fuel, or
runs slowly (as declared by the DM, or rolled randomly).
Inactivity The construct remains inactive, and locks down for one hour.
Haywire. The construct activates normally, but be hostile to anything in sight (possibly attacking the user) until restarted.
Burn Fuel. The construct activates normally, but burns fuel at double the normal rate until restarted.
Slow Run. The construct activates normally, but be slowed (as the spell) until it shuts off and restarts.
When being activated, it takes a minute to start up before it begins to act.
Constructs consume one charge per hour of activation. Constructs may behave independently, or when controlled by the
user (in the latter case, it is treated as a mount).
Mecha
Examples. Mecha includes both Vehicles (such as the Alliance’s steam tanks, dwarven gyrocopters, catapults and ballistas,
the Horde’s demolishers, goblin zeppelins, shredders, and the dreadful Scourge meat wagons. This also includes Mecha
that protect the body as a suit, such as the gnome combat armor.

It takes an action and 5 ft. of movement to enter or leave a mecha. Vehicles are treated as mechas.
Merged actions work for one party over the other.
Malfunction. This acts like a construct’s malfunction, except that it cannot be hostile. It may still lose charges.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Vehicles may mount rockets, firearms, and offensive and defensive gadgets, but they are all external (and thus have a
chance to be stolen or targeted). The user (or any fellow riders) may make use of these resources as their actions. Driving a
vehicle requires the user to merge their actions with the vehicle. If the vehicle uses its action to attack, the user cannot
attack themselves, etc. (unless they are Drivers).
By default, the range of a siege weapon is an integrated firearm that may be customized (the cost is added to the cost of the
vehicle). A mech/vehicle still requires actions to reload, if the vehicle has other occupants, they may instead expend the
actions to reload, leaving the shooter free to use the firearm constantly. Its ram damage is equal to 1d8 per Proficiency of
creation (plus its Strength as normal).
Energy Sources
A device’s energy source determines how often it can recharge, how it malfunctions, and various other traits.
Alchemical Engine (Potions) The device is powered by Any single battery functions for one hour before
alchemical powers. The engine consumes any kind of expiring. A single battery costs 50 gold, and weighs one

Technological Modifications
An Engineering Point may be spent (deducting from the total amount invested) to add a different effect. Alternatively, an
Engineering Point may be gained in exchange for a penalty on the item (usually to offset a bonus to a particular area).
With technological modifications, a character can decrease the radius of an explosive but increase its damage (or vice
versa).
Bombs
Costs: 1 EP
Careful Explosion The explosive’s (any type) damage can be controlled. It can exclude a number of 5-foot squares equal to
2 + your intelligence modifier, and can be designated by the user before the damage is rolled.
Firework The explosive (any type) releases a sharp whistle and a ringing blast. Suffering damage from this explosive and
failing the saving throw to halve damage has a chance to either blind or deafen the targets (50% chance for both) for 1
minute. A successful saving throw negates the additional effect.
Sapper The explosive (any type) deals double damage to structures, but half to creatures (constructs are creatures for this
purpose).
Special Effect The explosive (any type) may manifest a 0-level spell (or half a spell level per engineering point spent). If
this is an area of effect, it takes place in its original spell area or in the area of effect of the bomb (whichever is shorter). If
it is a direct effect, it targets the space the bomb was tossed only.
Widened Explosion The explosive (any type) bomb’s explosive radius increases by 10 meters per engineering point spent.
Costs: -1 EP
Focused Explosive The explosive’s (bomb or mine) area of effect is reduced to a single 5 foot-square, but increases the
damage as if +1 EP.
Firearms
Costs: 1 EP
Scattershot The firearm can be activated as a Use Object action, and deal damage in a cone instead of a direct attack (and
therefore does not suffer from disadvantage when used while in melee, and does not require proficiency). The damage is in
a 15’ Cone per Proficiency bonus spent on this ability. This uses two bullets or pellets per shot. A shot calls for a Agility
saving throw (DC 8 + Proficiency + Intelligence) to half damage. The user may spend another proficiency bonus and
double the cone’s range.
Automatic Fire The firearm can be activated as a Use Object action, and deal damage in a line instead of a direct attack
(and therefore does not suffer from disadvantage when used in melee, and does not require proficiency). The damage is in
a 5-foot wide line with length equal to the firearm’s initial range. This uses three bullets or pellets. A shot calls for a
Agility saving throw (DC 8 + Proficiency + Intelligence) to half damage. After dealing damage to a maximum of six
targets (or two per bullet spent), the rest suffer no additional damage.
Silent: The firearm’s sound is muffled, and imposes no penalty to the user’s Stealth check when used.
Sniper: The firearm’s range doubles.
Repeating/Revolving: The firearm gains +4 to its capacity. This modification does not decrease its initial capacity, but
does decrease damage as normal.
Gadgets
Cost: 1 EP
Quick Use The gadget may be used again within 1d4 rounds instead of an entire minute.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Cost: -1 EP
Long Cooldown The gadget requires a day to cool down. This cannot be used with quick use.
Low Charge The gadget can contain only one charge.
Mecha/Construct
Cost: 1 EP
Quick Startup The construct or mecha takes one round to activate.
Airsealed The mecha can be air sealed and supplied with its own air containers. Vehicles can be air sealed for no cost.
Prerequisites: Infusion requires at least 5 levels in a spellcasting class and an Intelligence of 15 or higher to become

These are effects that modify a successful attack roll. If a strike effect calls for a saving throw, the DC is equal to 8 +
proficiency bonus + Strength (or Agility if using a finesse or light weapon).
[Strike] effects cost a bonus action, regardless if it is a feat, class feature, or spell.
Infusionist
Prerequisite: Five levels in a spellcasting class, Intelligence 15 or higher
You gain proficiency with the infusion skill, and can infuse and diffuse dust from items, as well as create dust from mana.
Mystic Infusion
Prerequisite: Ability to cast arcane or divine spells, access to cantrips
You gain increased proficiency with the minor spells known as cantrips. You gain the following benefits.
● You can prepare a number of cantrips equal the number of spells you can prepare normally (2 + double your
spellcasting attribute modifier) instead of the normal number.
● Cantrips do not cost any mana for you, but require a minimum number of mana points equal to 1 point per dice of
damage they potentially deal (d8 for frostbolt, d10 for firebolt). Cantrips that do not increase in potency with
your level require only 1 mana in reserve.
Mystic Blast
Prerequisite: Ability to cast arcane or divine spells
You can make a ranged spell attack as an action, dealing 1d6 damage per maximum spell level you can access. This damage
can be dealt to creatures within 30 ft.
This does not cost mana, and can be done at will as a supernatural ability, so long as you have at least 1 mana per d6 of
damage. If you are fatigued from 0 mana, you cannot make use of this ability unless you are no longer fatigued. The

the Spell Strike feat.
Special. You may instead deal fel, thunder, or holy damage with your Mystic Blast, but it deals 1d4 damage instead per
spell level, and you must be able to cast a spell with the aforementioned descriptors.
Improved Regeneration

Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Spellcas ng Ability
Depending on the character’s class or race, they may gain spellcasting abilities. Spellcasting can either be arcane (drawn
from studying esoterica, complex ley patterns, and ancient tomes and runes) or divine (drawn from revering and being
granted powers from powerful entities, such as the Elven goddess Elune, the Holy Light, the Unholy Shadow, or the Lich
King).
Regardless of source, merely gaining spellcasting capabilities grants the character the ability to cast spells and maintain a
mana pool to fuel their powers. The spellcaster needs to have spells readied and prepared, and also requires the mana
necessary to fuel them.
The character’s caster level is separate from their character level or hit dice, and determines access to new spell levels
(representing mastery of magic), while the spellcaster’s proficiency bonus determines the cost of magic spells and mana pool
size (which represents their practical training).
Accessing and Preparing Spells. The caster level of the spellcaster is determined by the ability that grants spellcasting.
Mages gain 1 caster level for every level in the mage class, while paladins gain half the normal rate. A spellcaster can only
prepare spells if their caster level is 1 or higher. The below table shows the spell level accessed by caster level.
For example, a mage (level 10) and a paladin (level 10) have caster levels of 10 and 5, respectively, allowing the mage to
prepare 5th level spells, and the paladin to prepare 3rd level spells.
Merely having a high enough caster level is not enough to begin casting, however; a character must also prepare and access
the relevant spell.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Accessing Spells from 1st level or Higher. A spellcaster may ready any spell they can access (and have the required
minimum caster level). This requires being tutored, praying for a spell, studying one, or finding spells in scrolls or
spellbooks. A spellcaster may always use a spellbook they find, or scribe the spell from a spellbook they don’t own to a
spellbook they do own.
There are several ways to gain access to and ready spells.
● 1st level: The first level of any spellcasting class instantaneously grants a number of readied spells, such as by
gaining a grimoire, spellbook, libram (holy spellbook) etc.
Higher levels: When leveling up, the spellcaster gains 2 spells of any spell level they can cast. They are treated as if
they have spent their pastime performing research (see below or Discovery on chapter 4).
● Scribing a Spell: Drawing new runes with rare inks, carving a dedication on a shaman totem, or reproducing a
spell in a mage’s spellbook or scroll into another one all require acute understanding of spellcasting, time, and
materials. A character may add new spells into their spellbook (or class equivalents) by spending 2 hours and 50
gold per spell level they scribe.
● Research: A character can research and create their own spell (effectively preparing a spell in their spell lists they
could not find yet) by spending two weeks in research and the cost of scribing the spell. This works exactly as the
skill discovery ability (see chapter 4).
● Tutelage: Spellcasters may gain spells directly from other spellcasters or magical beings such as celestials, fey,
demons, undead, or monstrosities. Tutelage costs the same as scribing a new spell, or may be done for free in
return for a service. Druids, shamans, and warlocks usually resort to being tutored by powerful beings (such as
Cenarius taught Malfurion Stormrage, the elementals taught Thrall, and demonic cults teach warlocks) in
exchange for services (usually related to defeating their enemies or reducing their influence. A conjured creature
cannot tutor their conjurer, which requires the aspiring cultist to actively find or call a creature into Azeroth, and
not merely conjure or summon it.
Preparing Spells. A character can prepare a base number of spells for every spell level equal to 2 + double their spellcasting
attribute modifier. For their highest-level spell, however, they can only prepare half the base number, and for their
second-highest, they can only prepare three-fourths the value.
For example, a 10th level paladin with 16 (+3) Spirit can prepare 8 base spells (2 + 3 x 2), and can access up to 3rd level
spells. He may only prepare 4 3rd-level spells (since 3rd level is his highest spell level), and 6 2nd level, and he may prepare
8 1st level spells normally.
Mana. The character has a pool of mana points equal to their spellcasting ability score (Intelligence for mages, charisma for
paladins, etc.) plus their proficiency bonus. Mana is spent on casting spells, and spells fail when the mana pool doesn’t have
enough mana for the spell (unless the spell itself costs 0 mana).
A character regains a number of mana points equal to their proficiency bonus per hour of not casting spells, and regains all
of it after a full night’s rest.
A character may also regain mana through other methods:
Note. Possessing an active Mana pool also opens up the character to anti-magic effects, such as Mana Burn and Detonate
Mana, which only function if the creature has an active mana pool. Some creatures, such as demons, always have mana
pools (regardless of actually having spellcasting capability).
Mana Cost of Spells. The higher the spellcaster’s proficiency bonus, the lower the cost of magic spells in terms of mana
points. By default, every magic spell costs 6 mana + 1 mana per spell level – the caster’s proficiency bonus.
Cantrips and 0-level spells cost less mana; they cost 3 mana – proficiency bonus (minimum 0).
Strike, Shot, Debilitate, and Invigorate spells all cost half the normal mana cost for a spell of their level (round down,
minimum equal to the spell’s original cost).
For example: 1st level warlock spends 5 mana on her 1st level spells (6 + 1 – 2), and 1 mana on her cantrips. At level 5 (or
proficiency +3), her 1st level spells cost 4, and her cantrips cost 0 mana. A debilitate spell (such as Mind Blast) costs 2
mana for her.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Spellcas ng Rules
Spellcasting may be interrupted if the spellcaster is harmed while casting or channeling the spell (such as channeling or
stance spells, or when struck with a held action).
When hit this way, the spellcaster must succeed on a concentration check (Stamina saving throw), DC 10 or half the
damage dealt (whichever is higher) or the spell fails (and the mana is spent uselessly).
This acts similarly to casting spells in situations that are difficult to cast spells in (such as while on being a storm-tossed
ship or while being distracted by wind and rain).
Auras also require disruption while active.
Resurrec on
Altars of resurrections are known centerpoints of power, usually built in intersections of lay energies or in holy
consecrated areas. It is these sites, once erected, that heroes may be resurrected to do battle once again (for an offering of
gold). To be restored via an Altar of Resurrection, a character must be at least of 5th level or higher and attune themselves
with one altar (which takes a day of being less than 30 feet from it, and costs nothing). The offering may be paid with
coin, or with the sacrifice of any similarly-valued object (such as breaking an ancestral blade, or the sacrifice of a being
within two levels from the target). If a creature dies on a plane different from where its altar is located, it cannot be
revived by the altar.
The Altar takes one hour to revive a creature whose spirit is called out to, and besides the offering and a sure way to
identify the target, the target’s corpse is not required. The resurrected creature appears unarmed, unarmored, and
unclothed, and has no starting possessions. If the character died while affected by a curse, they retain the curse, but their
bodies are free from any diseases or poisons. The character is also at full hit points and mana, and retains any prepared and
set spells, and takes a penalty of -4 on all d20 checks. Each long rest removes -1 from this penalty until the penalty is wholly
removed.
Summoning a character’s spirit this way costs 100 gold per level of the target. Altars of Resurrection are in every Alliance,
Horde, and Independent (see Scourge) city of populace 1,000 or higher, or any fort or citadel (but not every small military
outpost), and is also attuned to its military and civil leaders. Access to the Altar is usually restricted--as those who
sabotage it undermine a great weapon.
The altar cannot resurrect a creature that is not dead, or one not willing to return, or a creature that has already

back to life.
Regaining Mana. Depleted mana may be regained by various abilities, resting, drinking potions, or even by certain spells.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Passive Regeneration A spellcaster regains mana points equal to their proficiency bonus for every hour in which they do
not cast spells, do not perform physical or mental stimulation (such as climbing mountains, riding on horseback, studying
spells etc.), or whenever they take a short rest. A long rest restores all mana points.
Active Regeneration Can fall under several types: using abilities and spells, potions, magical nexi, or magical vampirism
(see below):
● Abilities and Spells Some spells (such as the warlock’s Life Tap) restore mana points, as well as abilities such as
the Mage’s Arcane Recovery.
● Potions Also have the ability to restore mana (see equipment).
● Magical Nexi Areas where magical ley-lines intersect, pools of energy (such as the High Elves’ Sunwell, Mana
Fountains, and Night Elven Moonwells) can also restore energy from proximity (if the area is powerful enough)
or interaction (as in most cases).
○ Mana Fountain. Sometimes, in centers of magical energy (such as lay line intersections), a wellspring of
power appears. A creature with mana may either improve their passive regeneration or actively tap into a
mana fountain when within 30 ft. of it.
Passively While in proximity of the well for an hour, the spellcaster regains 25% bonus mana from resting.
Actively The spellcaster may drink from the well directly, gaining mana points as if they rested for one
hour (used once per hour).
○ The Sunwell. A fount of mystical energy, the Sunwell counts as a mana fountain for the purposes of
regaining mana, but its range is vastly superior to regular mana fountains: any creature that is allied to all
(or some) of the current guardians of the Sunwell may benefit from the properties of a regular mana
fountain as long as they are within the borders of Quel’Thalas.
Anyone who benefits from the Sunwell for an extended period (a year or more) suffers from Arcane
Withdrawal upon losing access to it, or once it is corrupted or destroyed.
● Magical Vampirism One may also feed on a dead or helpless creature’s mana. By so, the feeding creature can
regain mana equal to one-half the mana the creature has. If the creature is helpless but not dead, they may roll an
opposed Stamina saving throw--and if they succeed, the vampirism fails, and cannot be used again for one hour
from the same creature.
This act is usually seen as an evil (or at least, chaotic) act, as drawing mana could have a corruptive influence on
the feeding creature. This also usually has unforeseen psychological or physiological aftereffects, such as addiction
to the act or arcane withdrawal.
One cannot benefit from any active regenerative effect more than once every hour, and takes the highest bonus only,
regardless of the effect’s source. Passive mana regeneration is not affected by active regeneration.
Forcing a Spell. If casting a spell without sufficient mana points left, a spellcaster may perform a Stamina saving throw to
cast a spell regardless.
The DC is equal to 20 + spell level + mana points below 0. If successful, count the mana cost against the current pool
(this can reach a negative value, increasing the DC).
On a failure, the spellcaster is mentally fatigued, suffering one level of exhaustion. They also cannot cast another spell until
the exhaustion is removed naturally, and if mana is restored to at least half maximum.
Arcane Withdrawal (Optional Rule). Arcane magic is known to be addictive--and tapping into the Sunwell’s vast energies
more than once and losing it afterwards causes severe mental and physical stress. If cursed with this dreadful affliction, one
must meditate for thirty minutes every day (this does not contribute to short rests), or else suffer disadvantage to their
saves, and grant advantage towards any check to affect them with any arcane spell, as their bodies begin drawing in any
kind of mana. Every day without meditating also reduces the maximum mana one can store by 1 point. Meditation is a
difficult task , and many prefer to satiate themselves by drawing mana and restoring actively, such as drinking from mana
fountains, potions, and magical vampirism (see above). Meditation requires a Spirit score of 13 or higher.
Any mana restoration effect delays the onset of withdrawal for a number of days equal to the creature’s Stamina modifier.
If one’s maximum mana is reduced to 0 from this effect, they typically transform into mindless mana addicts, who
relentlessly seek out mana fountains and similar restorative effects (such as potions) and gather there, viciously savaging
anyone who seeks to take away their light.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Spellbooks contain spells and casting formulae, and are required for a caster to have and prepare their spells in. After
preparing a spell, referring to a spellbook is not required except to change the spell.
Relics
Relics are enchanted items of uncommon quality that hold charms that strengthen specific spells the relic is attuned to.
Usually, relics count as spellbooks or are charms placed on spellbooks.
Each character that prepares a spell on their spell list through a relic gains the bonus so long as the relic is physically with
them.
Relics are detailed under the Equipment chapter.
Tattoos
A character may tattoo spells onto their skins, scales, or clothes to hold their spells besides normal spellbooks. This costs
the same as normal scribed spells, and the creature's body is treated to be the spellbook.
It takes 2 hours and 50 gp per spell level to tattoo the spells onto skin.
10% of tattooed spells may be harmed and rendered unintelligible after the character sustains sufficient acid, fire, or
slashing damage (declared by the GM, but usually if reduced to 0 hit points).
If rendered unintelligible this way, the spells can be scribed once more by paying one-half the total cost and time (25 per
spell level and 1 hour).
A medium character can scribe up to 50 pages worth onto their skin (such as chest, arms, legs, etc.). For smaller creatures,
the pages are halved, and for larger creatures, the pages are doubled.
A known spell-tattooist is the demon hunter Illidan Stormrage.
Spells
Whether it comes in the form of a healer’s gentle touch or the wrath of a warlock’s fiery rain, magic is a way of life in
Azeroth. For good or evil, magic has infiltrated the world and shows no sign of leaving. The dark siren call of the arcane
and the gentle but firm tapping of divine energies both color the world and affect its inhabitants. The way of magic is
often a dangerous road to travel, yet most set out confidently on a journey that they do not expect to end in doom.
Spells can be cast by any character who has access to mana and a spell list.

Spell Definitions
Array. Spells with the array tag have several sub-spells. When preparing a spell with the array tag, you must choose one
spell of the array (each of which may have their own spell levels and different effects).
Auras. These spells emit an aura within 15 ft., and typically remains for a few minutes. If the creature falls unconscious,
the aura dissipates, and is otherwise considered an active and beneficial spell (unless it is debilitative). A character can only
benefit from one at any given time (their choice), and may be dispelled as normal.
Blessings. This array includes beneficial spells that are activated by consuming half your movement, and may target
yourself or an ally. A creature can have only one blessing active on them at any given time, with most blessings active on a
duration of five minutes (and are thus mostly useful for one encounter). These are considered beneficial spells.
Channel. These spells modify concentration spells, and require the investment of one action every round of focusing on the
target of the spell. If the caster cannot invest the required actions, the spell is not dispelled, but does not take place until he
does. Above the required action, the spellcaster cannot move faster than half their speed. As for all concentration spells,
this spell is broken if concentration is lost.
Debilitate. These are damaging spells that target one creature, and typically have multiple effects. The caster may then
activate the spell’s abilities as a reaction on the target’s turn, affecting their combat prowess.
Invigorate. These are beneficial spells that target one creature, and otherwise act as debilitate effects.
Seals. These are personal spells (with a target of ‘you’) that are also cast as part of your movement (consumes base half
movement, cannot be used if already spent). A creature may be under the effects of one seal at any given time, and most
seals have a duration of one minute. Seals may be released (termed judgment or release), and impose the additional effect
specified under the spell. These are considered beneficial spells. Only paladins may cast seals. Death Knights may cast seals,
but only those marked as runic spells.
Shield. These spells benefit from several priestly abilities.
Strikes/Shot: These spells cost a bonus action to activate, and otherwise act on an attacker’s melee or ranged attack several
times before expiring, modifying it appropriately. The user can otherwise declare when to use them per action, or to
withhold the effect until before the end of the duration. These are considered beneficial spells. Shot spells are strike spells,
but are restricted to ranged weapons. All shot spells belong to the hunter spell list.
Totems. These relics cast specific spells they are imbued with as a reaction from the caster. Totems usually remain for one
minute, and require a reaction to activate each round. They can be moved with a bonus action (maximum speed is equal to
the caster’s speed).
Totems have 7 AC, and hit points equal to double the level of the caster. Destroying a totem by reducing it to 0 hit points
deactivates the effect and dispels the spell as normal. Whenever the totem is subjected to a saving throw, they use the
caster’s bonus.

DESCRIPTION
Grenade Fuse Depending on the fuse of a grenade, they can explode on various times. An instantaneous fuse costs nothing,
while others cost 1 sp per fuse. A character may also make fuses that are pre-designed to explode after a number of rounds
(determined at the time of crafting).
● Instantaneous fuse. The grenade explodes at the end of its user’s turn
● Delayed fuse. The grenade explodes after 1d4 rounds, starting at the end of the user’s turn.
● Long fuse. The grenade explodes after one minute, starting at the end of the user’s turn.
Powder Horn Carrying two pounds of gunpowder, this fire and water-resistant horn is required almost always for a tinker
on the go.
Powder Keg Containing fifteen pounds of gunpowder, this keg is very flammable, but it is a sure sight for sore dwarven
eyes. If exposed to flame, the barrel explodes for 10d6 concussive damage in a 100 feet sphere, with a DC 10 Agility save to
half damage. If left exposed, the damage is instead fire damage.
Gunpowder deals 1d6 fire damage to each creature in 10 feet per 1 pound of mass. Setting an ounce of gunpowder to burn
brightly, shedding bright light in 30 feet for 1 round, and dim light in the same radius for another round, before
extinguishing. Exploding gunpowder cannot deal more than 10d6 at any time (with 10 pounds and upwards of mass), but
its range does increase by 10 feet for every pound.
DESCRIPTION
Attack Claws These claws may be attached to a hand, and allow for a user to perform somatic components without
occupying the hand. They are usually favored by orcish shamans who enter melee after conjuring elementals or placing
totems. This is a simple weapon.
Bayonet This dagger-like blade can be attached to a firearm, allowing it to make melee weapon attacks. If making a
successful melee attack with a bayonet, the firearm user may spent a bonus action to shoot the target, gaining advantage to
the attack roll (instead of the normal disadvantage they would gain from using a ranged attack while adjacent to an
enemy). Anyone proficient with daggers and firearms is proficient with a bayonet.
Greathammer This iconic paladin weapon is favored by the Order of the Holy Light. A character proficient with mauls is
also proficient with greathammers after a week of training.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Moonglaive This exotic weapon has three dagger-like blades jutting from its sides. Uncommonly seen but easy to train
with, Moonglaives are favored by the night elves of Kalimdor. This is a simple melee weapon.
Spiked Chain A 10-foot chain marked with a large hook, this spiked chain is a dangerous and rare weapon to see in the
battlefield.
Sword, Two-Bladed Typically used only by elven swordsmen of great agility, the two-bladed sword is almost iconic of the
high elven military Two-bladed swords can be used to attack as if using two weapons, despite being a single weapon that is
used with one hand. A character proficient with longswords is also proficient with two-bladed swords after a week of
training.
Syringe. This needle is specifically-designed to inject injury poisons, plagues, and offensive potions into targets who are
stabbed with it. After a successful attack roll, you may use a bonus action to inject the target with the contents of the
syringe.
Totem, Tauren Large, unwieldy, but very intricately-made, tauren totems are iconic of the tauren peoples.
Warglaive. This night elf weapon is a crescent-shaped blade about 4 feet long with a hilt in the center of the back edge.
Night elf demon hunters favor these weapons. A character proficient with shortswords is also proficient with warglaives
after a week of training.

Storm hammer (Wildhammer Dwarf Attunement) This weapon acts as a normal light hammer, but deals one extra point
Thunder damage per Proficiency of the user on impact. When thrown, a storm hammer returns at the same round, and
may be used again.
True Moonglaive (Night Elf Attunement) This weapon acts as a normal moonglaive, but it gains the ability to bounce. A
bounce allows the user to attack another creature within range of the first one, or return to the user’s hand. The
enchanted moonglaive may bounce once per proficiency of the user. A non-night elf may use this weapon, but requires
training and sanctioning by the night elven Sisterhood of Elune.
Infused Ammunition
A bullet, arrow, or thrown weapon can contain a shot effect if it is prepared specifically to hold it with the Infusion skill.
This costs the normal cost for a bullet (1 gp per 20 bullets, or 1 sp per 2 bullet), plus one-fifth the infusion dust quantity for
a weapon of that quality (and hence, 5 pieces of uncommon ammunition is roughly equal in value to a single uncommon
weapon or armor or infusion when distributing treasure).
Special. Despite the names below, infusions can be used interchangeably between ammunition such as arrows, crossbow
bolts, bullets, and more. For the purposes of spellcasting ability rolls, treat the bonus as +4.
Annihilator
Weapon (battleaxe), rare
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. Whenever this wicked-looking, dark purple
battleaxe deals damage to a creature benefitting from an armor bonus to AC, it reduces their bonus to AC by 1 point. The
penalty to armor remains for until the target creature has a short rest.
Arcanite Reaper
Weapon (greataxe), rare

damage, and has 30 hit points), and deals double damage to objects.
Blight
Weapon (glaive), rare
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. Upon a successful attack against a creature, you

again until the next dawn.
Brainsplinter
Weapon (dagger), very rare (requires attunement)
You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. When striking a spellcaster, the dagger’s damage
lingers and disrupts concentration (DC 10 or half damage as normal) for 1d4 rounds after being hit. If hit again, the
counter resets. Activating this quality costs a bonus action, and is a strike effect.
Dawn's Edge
Weapon (battleaxe), rare
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. The battleaxe has 3 charges. While using it, you
can use an action and expend 1 charge to cast the Daylight spell (centered on the battleaxe), or a bonus action to ignore the

and Good spell as a bonus action by expending 1 charge (the range increases to 60 feet).
The battleaxe regains all charges by the next dawn.
Phantom Blade
Weapon (longsword), rare

dawn.
Saronite Mindcrusher
Weapon (mace), rare

creature, they lose 1 point of mana. For every mana point lost, they suffer 2 arcane damage. This otherwise acts as the

Activating this quality costs a bonus action, and is a strike effect.
Quel’Serrar
Weapon (longsword), rare
You gain +2 to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Quel’Serrar, sometimes known as the Prismatic
Blade, was forged by dragons and granted to the night elves during the War of the Ancients. Currently, it remains dull

reputation of being a dragon-slaying blade).
While wielding this weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to AC (natural armor). This stacks with other sources of natural armor.
As a reaction, you may grant yourself spell resistance (advantage to any saving throw) against a spell that targets you.

World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Armor Sets
Armor sets are items that increase in potency per every set piece worn. All armor sets require attunement, and increase in
rarity for every additional piece added (starting at uncommon, ending at very rare).
Cenarion Raiment
Armor (studded leather), variant (requires attunement)
Set Pieces: Cenarion Vestments, Helm, Bracers, Belt
Created in Moonglade by the druids of the Cenarion Circle, the Cenarion raiment is worn by some of its most powerful
champions as they strive to protect and preserve nature against the unnatural forces that threaten it. The Cenarion
raiment features a thick brown leather robe covered in leaves and other symbols of nature – most prominently the sticks
and leaves protruding from the wearer’s shoulders and the antlers resting upon his head.
Uncommon. If possessing one set piece, other creatures don’t gain advantage on attack rolls against you as a result of being
hidden from you.
Rare. If possessing two to three set pieces, you may use the druid’s wild shape ability as a 2nd level druid. If you already
have the wild shape ability, you may use wild shape one more time per rest, or gain one Blessed Beast feral wild shape
option to benefit from one wild shape attempt (chosen once attuned to the armor).
Very Rare. If possessing all set pieces, the horns of the raiment remain in wild shape, granting you a natural attack that
deals 2d6 damage. Before going into a wild shape, you can designate three spells to be cast upon your horns, which can
then either be discharged as per the Spellstrike feat on the target of your natural attack or be cast by touching the target
with your horns. After exiting a wild shape, your next conjure creature (plants) spells costs half normal mana.
Judgement Armor
Armor (plate), variant (requires attunement)
Set Pieces: Judgment Breastplate, Crown, Bindings, Belt
Though the Silver Hand is a noble establishment, there comes a time when pleasantries must end and justice must be done.
The commanding, faceless aspect of justice and judgement is represented by this armor, which is worn by paladins acting as
inquisitors and executioners as they deliver sentence upon the enemy.
Clad in black, red, and gold, paladins in this full-body armor cut an imposing figure. The armor is a combination of both
cloth and leather for easier movement as well as metal plates to protect vital areas. Each piece is ornately detailed with
some sort of imagery that represents justice.
Uncommon. If possessing one set piece, you have a +5 bonus to your passive Spirit (Perception) and passive Intelligence
(Investigation) scores.
Rare. If possessing two to three set pieces, you may cast the Bless or Power Word: Fortitude spells up to three times (total
of both spells) before the power of the armor is expended (an, replenishing after the next sundown. If you already have the
spell readied, you may instead cast the spell for half normal cost so long as you wear the armor.
Very Rare. If possessing all set pieces, you may cast the Arcane Armor spell up to three times before the power of the
armor is expended, replenishing after the next sundown. The spell is (heightened to 6th level), and may only choose to
gain resistance to fel damage for one hour. You have the constant benefits of the Bless and Power Word: Fortitude
(3rd-level; or 10 to your maximum hit points) spells active.
Version 2.4
World of Warcraft RPG, 5th Edition
Plagueheart Raiment
Armor (cloth), variant (requires attunement)
Set Pieces: Plagueheart Robe, Circlet and Mask, Gloves, Sandals
Originally designed by Burning Legion mad scientists, this colorful set is known to be worn by agents of the Legion who
deal with biological and chemical warfare, as well as living members of the Cult of the Damned that need protection from
the Scourge’s plague. While designed as protective gear, as a result of its origins, the gear collects and stores plagues within
itself, offering these plagues as an added level of defense.
This unusual, chaotic-looking armor features patterns of black, orange, yellow, and bright green. Curved spines protrude
from the shoulders, and the wearer’s face is obscured by a strange, bug-eyed mask.
Uncommon. If possessing one set piece, your spells that requires you to make an attack roll have their ranges doubled.
Rare. If possessing two to three set pieces, and can exert an aura of necrosis as a 6th-level death knight.
Very Rare. If possessing all set pieces, you have the constant effects of Water Breathing, Darkvision, and Demon Skin
(3rd-level; or 9 temporary hit points), except that you do not need to breathe at all. The Demon Skin spell’s temporary hit
points replenish once per hour.

Gadgets - Traps
Traps are gadgets that perform a single use. They can be deployed and primed with an action, and they become active
after being primed by one round. Whenever a creature moves to 10 feet or closer to a trap, it triggers and discharges its
effect. The DCs are equal to that of a device.
Traps act like gadgets, but have only one charge, and cost only 10% of the original price. Traps that are used must be fixed,
which costs half the time and cost to make them.
DESCRIPTION
Freezing Trap This trap unleashes a super-compressed blast of cold that freezes the triggering creature for one minute, and
deals 1d4 cold damage to them. While frozen, the target is restrained. A successful Stamina save halves the damage dealt,
and reduces the restraint for one round. A creature may use its action to break the ice.
Oil Slick Trap This trap spews slippery oil in a 10-foot radius, rendering it into difficult terrain for one minute. Each
creature who enters, is within the radius when the trap is triggered, or ends their turn in this area must make an Agility
save or fall prone.
Immolation Trap This trap burns the triggering creature for one minute, dealing 2d6 fire damage. Over the next minute,
whenever the creature starts its turn, it must roll a d20. On a 9 or lower, the effect triggers again, dealing an additional
1d6 damage or giving them disadvantage to any next d20 roll. After triggering twice, the trap’s effects ends.
Wagon Clamp. This trap clamps down on the triggering creature or vehicle for one minute, dealing 1d8 piercing damage to
the wheel (possibly breaking it). While captured, the target is restrained. A successful Stamina save by the vehicle or
creature halves the damage dealt and reduces the restraint for one round. A creature may use its action to make a Strength
saving throw to remove the restraining effect. Most wooden wheels have 5 (2d4) hit points.
Constructs
Constructs and mecha activate for one hour per charge. Constructs and mecha require one minute of start-up before
active.
Both may be activated with an action, or be programmed to begin activation with a contingency (such as when an enemy
enters a laboratory, or if a remote control button is clicked).
