Within these pages is one of many dives into the

bombastic, humorous, and more than a little silly.
The Retroverse is a universe inspired greatly by
music, games, books, movies, and fashion of the
80's, 90's and early 2000's. It resides in a place of
half faded memories, barely remembered songs,
lost childhood friends, outdated styles, and time
corroded files. This world does not follow the
traditional rules for fantasy settings but is mired in
them all the same. The Rule of Cool is written into Additionally, this game is built to be a safe and

The creatures of the Retroverse are wild and
varied. Alongside elves and humans, creatures of
fitful imagination make this place their home. Cities
are built by the Wo’nari. Trogs dwell in deep swaps
or deserts. Cerans hide away in remote plateaus.
Even Restless, though extremely rare, have been
known to be heroes.
Keep in mind that the descriptions here are
generalities of the species as a whole and are not
indicative of the behaviors and personalities of
each individual. No species, culture, or peoples are
a monolith.
CERANS
“Deysea stood before the council, resolute in her
belief. They would not meet the world because of
their ancient fear. She would not be the same.
Deysea would break the cycle of seclusion and
bring her family into the new world, regardless of
their desires. She waited, as they bore down on her
with judgmental stares. She would not bend, she
would not break.
“Go then.” the eldest said. The others turning to
her, surprised at her decision.
“I-wh-,” was all she stammered before the elder
cut in again”
“The world is waiting, we are too old for it, but
not you. Just take some of my wisdom, do not
forget your past, for I will be watching. Do good,
always.”
She stood, shocked by the councilor’s candor.
She got what she wanted. She would explore the
world, see its people, marvel at wonders. This could
not have gone any better for her. But why did she
suddenly feel so alone?”
The most common reactions to a ceran are that of
unease and fear. Hulking reptilian humanoids, they
have a tough time adapting to the fragility of the
realms outside of their own. The many gods and
evils of the world seem convoluted and gross to
their very direct mentality. Rather than worship the
divine, cerans are deeply in touch with their
ancestry, sometimes calling upon fathers and
mothers a dozen or so generations removed. They
may be viewed as heretics, beasts, or even
monsters, but those who get to know a ceran will
benefit from their aged wisdom.

LUMBERING LEGENDS
Cerans are a hearty breed of creature, living at
least 300 years and rumored to be able to live
double that. There are three major bloodlines, Tri-
Ceran, Sty-Ceran, and Pa-Ceran; though most of the
world has trouble understanding anything beyond
the physical differences. All of them stand a
minimum of 6 feet tall with some of the largest
measuring nearly 8 feet high. Their massive forms
are matched by their massive frame. They can
easily weigh 300 pounds, making life among more
delicate species difficult. This hulking size does not
always translate into raw strength, in cerans it
most often manifests as stubbornness in the face
of death. Children's stories are rife with tales of
ceran warriors refusing to stay down, despite
overwhelming injury.
Their scaly skin ranges the entire color
spectrum but is rarely ever bright. They have
several horns on their head that vary in size and
placement based on their bloodline.
VOLUNTARY OUTCASTS
As long as cerans have been known, they have
possessed an inset aversion to heavily populated
areas. They lived in their own villages and towns,
made of strong woods and stone to withstand
everyday ceran life. When other species interacted
with the cerans, they found their terse attitude and
strange spiritualism perplexing, making relations
somewhat difficult. Their distance from “civilized”
life allowed rumors and large misunderstandings
to build around them for
centuries. In truth they are a
kind and
wise species,
giving their all to
those in need.
They have little
sense of
self and see
themselves as
simply one part in a
larger whole
 They have an unparalleled sense of honor. A
driving need to live up to the name of their
ancestors focuses their actions and behavior. Some
more jovial species feel as though cerans never let
their guard down, and they would be correct.
Cerans believe their ancestors are always watching
over them and have no desire to shame
themselves in front of their grandparents. Those
that stray away from this code of honor, and seek a
life of selfish avarice, are known as “Rontar” to their
kin. In most cases they are left to their own devices,
though they are coerced, by many undesirable
methods, into abandoning their family name. Those
that take a blatantly evil approach to life are
hunted by the family, their transgressions too
severe for the ancestors to overlook. The ire of a
ceran family is a rare and deadly curse to have
upon you.
To a ceran, there is nothing more important
than family. Be it by birth, found family, or those
that came before them.

HARSH LESSONS
A ceran's life is filled with the experience that a
stubborn nature brings, combined with the lessons
of their ancestors. Wise beyond their years, cerans
will gladly share their wisdom with anyone who
has the patience to listen. They are fond of long
stories, weaving dense meaning into every line. The
few ceran texts that exist are so filled with double
meaning and subtext that other species can spend
years studying a single chapter. Despite this
inherent wisdom, cerans are hopelessly
bullheaded. Their desire to impress their family
pushes them to continue a given assignment, even
after repeated failures. A hopeless quest to others
is considered a worthwhile challenge to the cerans.
PURPOSEFUL ADVENTURERS
Cerans are the epitome of homebodies, rarely
venturing out without a good reason. Often, cerans
encountered in the wild are on a quest, or string of
quests. Their kind nature and lack of familiarity
with the world outside their home makes them
unable to prioritize assignments. A mission to
restore peace to a kingdom holds the same weight
as a child missing their doll. Because of this they
will sometimes spend years moving from
adventure to adventure before they are able to
complete their original assignment. Ceran elders
understand this behavior and will use it as a wry
method for teaching young and rambunctious
cerans important life lessons. Even a simple task of
collecting a semi-precious stone can take a ceran
away from their home for decades, as they help
hundreds of creatures along the way.
CERAN NAMES
So important is Ceran ancestry that, until recent
history, they had no personal names. The small
interwoven nature of the families meant that every
Ceran knew their kin. There was little need for
personal names. The closest they had was a simple
adjective or noun that described the most
legendary of their ancestors. This convention has
influenced their new names as they integrate into
the larger world. They always use their family
name first and, in some cases, may have no
personal name.

Family Names: Throndaxi, Reavenden, Holistanden,
Roseguns, Stallonus, Vandammed, Locbadias,
Lundgryen.
Personal Names: Fighter, Spear, Big, Horn, Wise,
Barrel, Foolhardy, Savage, Indomitable, Wit, Shield,
Mage.
OTHER SPECIES
Many species have incorrect preconceptions when
it comes to cerans. They believe them to be slow,
large brutes, only capable of limited speech and
destruction. The ceran lack of enthusiasm for
integrating into other societies makes the fight
against these misunderstandings an arduous one.
Cerans however, do not give into preconceptions
about any species or individual, trusting only their
own experiences on an individual level. Merit and
honor are what matter most cerans, not the places
or stories that surround them.

CERAN TRAITS
Cerans all share a similar obtuse build and attitude.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score
increases by 2.
Age. A Ceran reaches adulthood at age 20 but
may spend many years learning from their elders
before they are ready to venture out on their own.
They usually live around 300 years.
Alignment. Most Cerans are good natured,
tending towards lawful alignments. They are
willing to sacrifice great time, effort, and coin to
help those around them. Those that lean towards
chaos are often ousted from the family. The very
few evil Cerans ever recorded are treated like
taboo history, their tales told only in whispers.
Size. Cerans can range from 6 to 8 feet. They
average 300 pounds. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Stout Body. You are incredibly hard to keep
down. You have advantage on saving throws
against being paralyzed and restrained.
Powerful Build. When determining your carrying
capacity or items you can move, you are

Ancestor's Spirit. Each Ceran has a connection to
the ones that came before them. The exact nature
of this connection is based on your Ceran bloodline.
You can use these abilities once before finishing a
short or long rest.
Subspecies. There are three major subspecies of
Cerans: Tri-Ceran, Sty-Ceran, and Pa-Ceran.
TRI-CERAN
This subspecies is the most common of the Cerans.
Their prolific numbers mean they have had the
most interaction with the outside world. Because of
this, they are often better equipped to deal with the
day to day hustle of civilization. The price of this
adaptation has been a weakening of their ancestral
traditions. While they may seem resolute in their
old ways to an outside observer, other Cerans know
that the familial bonds are frailer than they used to
be.
They have three horns, one set against their nose
and two on the head plate. Their coloration is
typically bland with very little variation on their
bodies.

within your family to summon a spiritual weapon.
Using a bonus action, a weapon comprised of your

like a normal weapon, despite being made of
spiritual energy. It is considered magical for the
purposes of overcoming resistances. It disappears
after 1 minute. When creating your character, you
must choose the one weapon you will receive.

STY-CERAN
These Ceran are rarer and more reclusive than the
other bloodlines. They have not adapted well to the
outside world, keeping their young away from the
dangers this new influence might bring. They are
deeply spiritual, spending hours in communion
daily with their ancestors. Their resolute adherence
to tradition has made change slow in their
bloodline. They are seen as primitive by other
species and even other cerans can view them as
less advanced. Despite this, they are amazingly
gifted with insight. They have an unnatural ability

 of age, with their place in the societal structure
being innately known. A queen presides over the
hive but does not directly control it and is typically
just a means to an end for keeping the hive
populated. Many once believed the hiveborn were
mentally linked and directed by the whims of the
queen but the hiveborn refute this, explaining they
simply understand instinctively what must be done
to protect their hive.
Their mindset is one of directness and they can
often be paralyzed if given conflicting orders. They
are usually more concerned about the life of the
hive, considering their own lives worth little when
compared to the survival of their sisters. When
speaking with other hiveborn they can
communicate complex ideas or grand sagas in a
matter of seconds but the thoughts and ideas of
the hiveborn are difficult to translate, following
lines of reasoning that are foreign to many other
species. Emotions are something they understand
as an innate quality of most creatures but have
trouble feeling and expressing the nuances of
emotions themselves. Jealousy, resentment,
elation, and even love are things they understand
on an intellectual level but need years of
development to “feel” themselves.
15
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
FLUID CAST
The cast system of a hive is at once extremely rigid
and bafflingly fluid. Each member of the hive is
expected to fulfil some sort of purpose and they do
it to the best of their ability, even sometimes
working themselves to death. While in a certain
position, it is expected the hiveborn will stay in that
position without complaint or aspirations of
changing their post. A worker does not always stay
a worker though. Depending on the needs of the
hive they may become a soldier for a time, they
may grow and lose wings, they may tend to the
young, or even eventually become queen. If there is
a need to be filled, it is done so seamlessly, with
new hiveborn always ready to fill a new role. This is
usually done with very little communication
needed and no challenges to the changes. There
are records of hostile displacements of royal
hiveborn or even queens, though this is extremely
rare.
This filling of needs also extends to
reproductive habits. The queen is rarely the only
hiveborn who can have children, though their
offspring comprise most of the hive population. All
hiveborn have the ability to reproduce, either
through fertilization or asexually. Eggs born from
asexual reproduction will be more like a clone of
the original, and less like an offspring. Additionally,
hiveborn are not limited to any sex and can shift
along the spectrum within a matter of days. This
ensures the survival of the species as a whole,
even in unforgiving environments or times of great
conflict.
DUST IN THE WIND
Hiveborn have extremely short lives, with the max
age being just over 30 years. Most live much
shorter lives and some hiveborn live the entirety of
their lives inside the hive. It is incredibly rare to see
a hiveborn far outside the range of their hives. The
most common of these outings are performed by
hiveborn royalty, which are those whose genes are
nearly identical with the queens, on diplomatic
missions between the hiveborn and other species.
There are also times when special soldiers will be
sent out perform an important task for the hive.
Tasks that require this kind of delicacy naturally
give the soldier a great deal of freedom, something
that can cause strain on their loyalty to the hive’s
ideals as they learn more about the world outside.
And occasionally a hiveborn worker will simply get
lost, having to rely on their wits and the generosity
of others to get back to the hive.
 With such a short lifespan most Hiveborn
consider their lives immaterial. Their contribution
to the hive is all that matters to them. There is no
desire for eternal legacy, no myths of boundless
youth, and no records of individuals beyond the
queen. When one dies, there is no sadness or
ceremony, their bodies are either removed from
the hive or recycled as food for the next
generation. The only thing of permanence is the
hive and hiveborn will give everything to keep it
alive.
16
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
SONG AND DANCE
The language of hiveborn is beautiful and complex,
with each hive having its own dialects. While
hiveborn have learned to speak common when
interacting outside their hive, it is unnatural to
them. Their actual language is expressed through a
mix of pheromones, touch, dance, and fashion.
Their language is the greatest form of art hiveborn
have, all other forms being too immaterial to
survive their rapid generations. A hiveborn is born
knowing the most basic gestures and auras needed
to communicate but it can take their entire lives to
master the art of commination. The greatest
ballads are given through this medium and even
the most studious scholars of other species would
not understand them without an interpreter. These
performances typically recount epic battles of the
hive, histories of the world outside, or
fables designed to teach the morals of
life within the hive.
While dancing and pheromones are important,
the final piece to hiveborn communication is their
fashion. A queen serves as the template for how
the hiveborn will adorn themselves. Then each
hiveborn is encouraged to individualize their own
attire, so long as it is still closely related to that of
the queen’s. This contradiction of regularity may
seem strange to outside species, but it is simply a
way of life and language to a hiveborn. This spark
of individuality changes the nature of exchange,
with the same gestures and pheromones meaning
completely different things depending on the
choice of attire. Each article of clothing is
meticulously thought out and types of speech
assigned to them. As such, only hiveborn can fully
speak the language and even the aid of magic does
not bridge this gap.
Hiveborn in small communities or individuals
will typically adopt nearby fashions but adapt them
in ways that may seem directly contradictory to
local customs. Because these types often travel
great distances, their choice of attire can be wildly
out of place when moving from one area to
another.
 17
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 ROGUE ONES
Not every Hiveborn belong to a large colony. Some
collectives more closely resemble villages or
nomadic tribes. These groups steer clear of larger
hives and rarely reach large numbers, doing just
enough to maintain themselves. Even further
removed are solitary hiveborn, an oxymoron and
proof of the inability to succinctly categorize this
species. These lone creatures speak and think in
ways similar to other hiveborn but have no
understanding or desire to be part of a hive
collective. They are often limited in their scope,
thinking only of what comes next. The live of these
individuals is typically short, even when compared
to the already rapid lifecycle of other hiveborn.
NAMES
Hiveborn do not have names as they are typically
understood, if they have one at all. Their names are
a complex dance and signals that only other
hiveborn can truly replicate. When dealing with
species outside the hive they take the name of their
position and see no reason to try and establish an
individual name beyond that. The three most
common are: Royal, Soldier, and Worker, though
some other more specialized roles have been used
as names.
OTHER SPECIES
Hiveborn have a contentious relationship with most
other species. As individuals, they are amenable
and generous, understanding that cooperation with
others is beneficial to the survival of their species.
The hive, however, is a force of destruction even
powerful civilizations struggle to combat. Hives will
not go on an offensive without cause, but the cause
is just as likely to be defense of their territory as it
is an offensive strike for badly needed resources.
They are not bloodthirsty or greedy though, taking
only exactly what they need to survive, so many
species have developed alliances with the hiveborn
where resources are traded for protection.
HIVEBORN TRAITS
Though hiveborn have nearly limitless variations,
there are a few traits that most share.

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
one week.
Age. Most hiveborn come of age within 6 weeks
of being laid. It is extremely rare for one to live
beyond 30 years.
Alignment. Good and evil are things hiveborn
struggle to understand and they can cycle between
them depending on the needs of their hive. Always
they lean heavily into order and thrive in highly
structured environments.
Size. Hiveborn can vary in size heavily but most
stand hunched at 5 to 6 feet tall and can usually
extend their height by nearly a foot by standing
straight. Despite their size, they are remarkably
lightweight; most weigh between 60 and 80
pounds. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Performative Language. You gain proficiency in
Performance. You can also speak hiveborn and
another language of your choice.
More Arms. Your two midsection arms, barely
noticeable appendages, are not equipped for
standard battle; but can be used to interact with
other objects. If an object would take a full action
to use you can instead use it with a bonus action,
so long as you can effectively use the item without
devoting your full concentration to it. For example,
you could open and administer a potion or retrieve
an item from a bag but could not use an item that
requires you to issue commands and/or
concentrate on it like a spell.
BEE
Those of the bee subspecies are considered the
most amenable of the hiveborn. Large hives will
often maintain vast fields of crops, using the food
and honey produced from them in trade with other
civilizations. While it may be uncommon to see an
adventuring bee, they are fairly regular sights at
trading posts, always on the lookout for things that
could increase the prosperity of their hives.
They come in myriad colorations and forms,
with the most distinctive being yellow and black
stripes. Their bodies vary from plump and fuzzy to
sleek and hard.
Flight. You have a flying speed equal to your
movement speed. You cannot fly while wearing
medium or heavy armor or while carrying more
than half your body weight.
Sting. You can use your action to make an
unarmed strike with your deadly stinger. The attack
deals 1d6 piercing damage + your Dexterity
modifier + 2d6 poison damage. Additionally, a
successful attack will pull your stinger away from
 you, causing you to lose 1d8 hit points. The poison
damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th
level, and 5d6 at 16th level. You must finish a long
rest before you can use this trait again, the stinger
being replaced during your sleep.
Forager. If there is any plant life around, you can
spend 1 hour harvesting food and pollen to create
enough food to feed 1d4 people for 1 day.
Pollen Burst. You can use your action to shake
free stored pollen on your body, spreading it in a
blinding cloud 10-feet around you. Each creature in
the cloud must succeed on a Constitution saving
throw or be blinded until the end of their next turn.
The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your
Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus. You
must finish a long rest and use the Forager trait
once before using this trait again.
WASP
Wasp subspecies are highly predatory and the
most likely to live in small groups or completely
isolated. They think very little of other life and
some even have reproductive cycles that involve
live hosts. Their ruthless pragmaticism often give
them a bad reputation among other species but a
wasp cares little for the opinions of others.
Wasps resemble weapons incarnate. Their
forms may twist in different shapes, but they
always feature an air of danger. They are often a
solid color, a shiny black or dull red, but can also
mimic other species’ colorations or come in
beautiful pearlescent glory.
Flight. You have a flying speed equal to your
movement speed. You cannot fly while wearing
medium or heavy armor or while carrying more
than half your body weight.
Sting. You can use your stinger to make an
unarmed attack for each use of the attack action
you have, dealing 2d4 piercing damage on a
successful hit. You are proficient with the attack
and can use either your Strength or Dexterity
modifier the determine the attack and damage
bonus.
Exoskeleton. Your exterior is covered in hard
plates. When not wearing armor, your AC is 10 +
your Constitution modifier + your Dexterity
modifier.
Menacing. You gain proficiency in the
Intimidation skill.
19
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
ANT
The ant type is the most rugged of the subspecies.
They can be found in nearly any climate and can
make their homes in places that are extremely
hostile to life. There are nearly no types of ants
that do not belong to a hive, making their mindset
the most orderly of all subspecies. They are not
usually aggressive to other civilizations but see
little reason for trade when they could simply
overwhelm a foe.
Ants rarely have any distinctive appearances,
typically coming in a single solid color. They
embrace this as a painter would a freshly primed
canvas. Their art extends far beyond fashionable
clothing and into beautiful designs carved into their
very exoskeleton. The longer lived one is, the more
amazing stories their bodies can tell.
Bite. You can use your action to bite a target
with your powerful mandibles. On a hit, the attack
deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier piercing
damage. If your attack roll is equal to or higher
than 20, you can attempt to grapple the target as
part of this attack.
Exoskeleton. Your exterior is covered in hard
plates. When not wearing armor, your AC is 10 +
your Constitution modifier + your Dexterity
modifier.
Navigator. You gain proficiency in Survival and
have advantage on Survival checks when
navigating through wilderness.
Powerful Build. When determining your carrying
capacity or items you can move, you are
considered one size larger.
Flight Variance. Some of this subspecies have
wings. If this is the case for your character,
substitute the Powerful Build feature for the Flight
feature from the
other subspecies.

Long ago, there was an anomaly. A sect of elves debated for centuries

and were permanently changed. Their beauty
marred, their home destroyed, their bodies
coursing with mutated energy; they resolved to
adapt. Little did they know that their bodies, having
unlocked to key to rapid evolution, would adapt
regardless of their decisions. As a side effect of
their rapid mutations, the Rai
are born with innate ability to
channel the energy around them. Most
commonly this is electricity but there are many
others can channel ice, grass, smoke, and even
corruption. They use their powers to augment their
tall and slender frames, making them phenomenal
combatants. Thankfully, their peaceable nature and
nomadic sensibilities have kept them away from
ideas of domination. Most of the time.

IMPOSSIBLY ADAPTABLE
The Rai are no longer related to the elves in a
biological sense. They share some minor physical
traits but even this is not consistent throughout the
whole of the species. The unknown anomaly that
changed them so long ago did so by unlocking a
latent mutagen deep within their physiology. This
mutagen allows (or enforces) the rapid adaptation
of their species. They can undergo amazing
evolutionary reconstruction within their lifetime,
changing their appearance and abilities whole
cloth. This allows their species to live in nearly any
environment, even places that could not normally
host life.

20
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 Rai travel together in small tribes, setting
themselves up wherever they please. Cities,
deserts, remote islands, it does not matter to a
tribe of rai. Any member of the species is allowed
to integrate into another tribe, though many
require the new member to prove themselves a
valuable addition. As Rai spend years around one
another, their physical traits become homogenized,
reducing or enhancing other traits. Rai that have
spent several decades together may be
indistinguishable to the casual observer and even
sometimes to the rai themselves.
Rai come in a plethora of sizes, easily ranging
from 5 feet to 9 feet tall. Shorter rai tend to be
stockier while the tallest look almost wraithlike in
their gaunt features. Their outward appearance can
also range wildly depending on what environment
they have adapted to. It is not uncommon to see
gills, augmented eyes, tails of several types, and
any hue of skin coloring. The most common form
of rai is 6 feet tall with a dark yellow skin tone and
slightly webbed fingers.
ADAPTATION VIA ADVENTURE
Rai may have many personal reasons for
adventuring out on their own but underneath all of
that is a latent desire to improve themselves;
though what improvement means varies on a rai to
rai basis. It can take a decade or more for
noticeable evolution to occur within them and so
they may spend years searching for the perfect
environment. They may search for a place of
learning that enhances their mind, a place of
hardship that improves their bodies, or some place
that may result in a desired special ability being
formed. Some find adventuring with others to be
simply a means to an end, while others see the act
of questing itself to be an excellent way to ensure
the mutations they desire. In a twist of irony,
adventuring often disrupts this mentality, their cold
logic and obsession with genetic “improvement”
coming against the sheer vastness of the lives and
ideals that surround them.
Early in rai history, they sought out mates
purely for the traits that could be passed onto their
offspring. While this logic seemed reasonable at
the time, it fell to the wayside after a few
generations. Though a few clans still hold onto the
past, it is well known among rai that any traits
passed onto a child are rapidly overwritten simply
by a change in environment. For this reason, while
they are highly concerned with their own bodies, rai
are rarely concerned with the genetic lineage of
their mates or children.
21
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
Regardless of the species involved, offspring of
rai mating will always be rai. Rai are never born
alone, being born as twins or part of a litter,
depending on the parent species involved. Given
enough time, rai can adapt to mate with nearly any
species or sex, their bodies changing over several
years to adapt to the mating requirements. Some
have even been known to reproduce asexually,
though this is extremely rare.
RAI NAMES
Rai take pride in their ancestry, with their names
being a reflection of the past. When Rai are born
they are given a complicated full name, the first
part of which is the name they are most commonly
referred to as. Groups of rai children are given a
similar first name that only deviates by one or two
letters among the whole group. For example, a
group of 6 rai siblings may have the first name
Derrik, Dyrrik, Derrak, Durrik, Darrik, and Dorrik.
The full name is a convoluted process that
seems to make sense to the rai but can confound
other species tremendously. Their full name
includes a first, middle, and last name. Each group
has its own set of rules and an additional set of
unwritten rules that seem to vary between rai
tribes. Typically, this is the standard: The first name
is given to them at birth and is used for most
circumstances. The middle name is both of their
parent’s first (or only in some cases) names, with
the maternal coming first. Their last name is the
combination of their parent’s last names, the
maternal coming first again, with no discernable
limit. If you know a rai’s full name you know who
their siblings are, who their parents are, and every
branch of their family tree for several generations.
For this reason, rai typically keep their true names
hidden unless absolutely necessary. An example of
a full rai name would be: Derrik Ara-Matthias
Hallow-Juniper-Grack-Fulton-Adamantit-Markins-
Thallow-Hister-Swallow-Watt. Some rai drop the
legacy last names down to a manageable limit
while others insist that children learn a list of
names hundreds of generations long.
Because of the influence of other species and
the disparity of tribes, there is no type of first
name that sticks out more than any other among
the rai. If mating within their own species, they will
typically adopt names from the surrounding
culture. If mating with an elf, orc, human, or
otherwise, they will choose first names usually
associated with those species.

the benefits of a long rest.

Corrupted Absorption: Due to your constant
exposure to corruption, your body has adapted to
its influence. Once per day, you can spend 1 hour
touching a creature and either take a level of
corruption from them onto yourself or transfer
one level from yourself onto them. When the
transfer is complete, the creature who gained one
level of corruption must roll on the corruption
table and take the new effect. Once you begin this
process, you must remain touching the creature or
the process is interrupted, and you must finish a
long rest before you can attempt it again. Once you
have used this feature to transfer corruption onto
another creature, you cannot take that level away
with this ability. Additionally, as a Void Rai, you do
not suffer the effects of the first level of corruption
you have, positive or negative, but it still counts
towards your total corruption levels.
Elemental Specialty: Void Rai have minor
psychic abilities. They can use their action to move
objects weighing 1 pound or less up to 15 feet. They
can also send two-word messages telepathically to
willing creatures within 30 feet. Their damage type
is psychic.

Celestial Rai are adapted to life on a higher plane of
existence. They may never have been to this plane
but instead their tribe may have made their home
on ancient hallowed ground, the holy energy
seeping into them over time.

EMBER
Ember Rai have acclimated to intense heat and
flames. They often resemble walking lava, their
skin pulsing a dull red with large dark patches
spotted over them. Their flesh is hot to the touch
and most of their clothing is singed.
Fire Blood: Once per day, if hit with a fire-based
attack, you can use your reaction to absorb the fire
and are healed a number of hit points equal to the
fire damage you would have received. When using
this move, you immediately lose your resistance to
fire damage until the start of your next turn. This
means that you absorb the full fire damage from
the initial attack.
Elemental Specialty: Ember Rai burn with an
inner passion. You have minor control over fire and
can touch an object to start or snuff small fires at
will. If using this minor fire against an enemy, they
will not take more than 1 fire damage from the
attack. Their damage type is fire.
STORM
A Storm Rai was likely born on or around the
Thunderplains and has spent their life dodging
bolts of lightning since they could crawl. Their skin
ranges from a deep yellow to light brown. They
have a slim and tall frame with toned muscles.
Quick Reflexes: All Storm Rai have amazing
dodging reflexes. You can add +2 to your Dexterity
saving throws.
Quick Attack: When going against quick
opponents, you can edge out just a little faster
24
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
than them. When you roll initiative, if you tie with a
creature, you can add +1 to your initiative. If this
results in another tie, then you take your turn
before the creature you tied with.
Elemental Specialty: Storm Rai can channel
electricity through their bodies. They can send
small currents through metal and give harmless
static shocks. Their damage type is electric.
RAZOR
Razor Rai stand as a testament to the strangeness
of evolutionary mutation. Their bones have become
an organic metal that is constantly growing.
Because of this, they are covered in splinters and
spikes that sprout from underneath their skin. They
claim to suffer no pain from this condition.
Natural Weapon: Your unarmed strikes do 1d4 +
your Strength or Dexterity modifier piercing
damage.
Weapon Entangle: If an enemy of medium size
or smaller makes an attack against you with a
melee weapon, and misses by 2 or less, you can
use your reaction to try and entangle the weapon
in your body. Make a Strength contest against the
creature, stealing the weapon away from the
creature if you succeed.
Elemental Specialty: Razor Rai cannot control
elements in the traditional sense. They can,
however, exert some control over their bones and
place small barbs of their bones onto objects and
into the air. Their damage type is slashing.
 STONE
A Stone Rai is close to the dirt and the rocks of the
earth. They are typically short with deep browns
and greens on their skin. They are found in
mountainous regions or desert plains.
Ability Score Improvement: Your Constitution
score increases by +1.
Sand Armor: Once per day, you can use your
action to coat yourself in an almost imperceptible
layer of sand or dirt. It is nearly invisible to the
naked eye but can protect you from some harm.
This effect increases your AC by +1 but is shattered
immediately upon being hit with any attack. This
shield lasts until it is destroyed or until you use this
ability again.
Elemental Specialty: Stone Rai can control small
amounts of sand, dirt, and rocks around them.
They can fling stones as if they were using a sling.
Your damage type is bludgeoning.
25
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
RHYTHM
Rhythm Rai spend their entire lives creating
beautiful music. As such, they have become
attuned to the Beat of the World and can exert
some control over it. Their skin is typically hot pink
or green with splotches of neon coloring all over.
Crank it Up: Twice per day, you can harmonize
the Beat within yourself or others. Using your
reaction, you can increase you or an ally’s attack
roll by +1. You can do this before or after the attack
roll, but before you know the outcome of the roll.
Elemental Specialty: Rhythm Rai are in love with
beautiful music and are often moving to an unseen
beat. Your damage type is thunder.
SPECTRAL
Spectral rai walk the line between realities, slipping
through dimensional barriers by will or accident.
They are often the shard of a whole, their form
being scattered across the planes at birth. Over a
short time, the shards become their own entity but
are still linked and driven to reconnect with their
other selves. This link is where they draw their
power and is akin to a dimensional web. As each
shard dies the web grows weaker and will
eventually collapse without a full reunion of the
Rai.
Shard Transference. Energy ebbs and flows on
the incomprehensible lines between you and the
other shards. You can take advantage of that by
pushing and pulling life force into yourself from
the others. Once per day, as a reaction to taking
damage, you can roll any number of your available
hit dice. The number rolled is subtracted from the
damage taken, with any remainder recovering hit
points equal to it. If you do this, roll a d20, on a 1

shard is removed from the connection web.
Elemental Specialty. The connection between
you and other shards may be tenuous but it is
strong enough for you to derive power from
the dimensional links. Your damage type is
Force.

TOXIC
Toxic Rai drip with poisonous fluids, the
composition of which can be used against any
manner of species, except themselves. They are
often a deep purple, sweating brightly colored
poisons that differ depending on their diet.
Poison Creation: As a Toxic Rai, you can spend
one day collecting your own fluids to create a
harmful but not deadly poison. The type of poison
depends on the food you have eaten, changing to
harm creatures or plants similar to those you
consume. You can create an intentionally deadly
poison from your excretions, but this is very
harmful to you. Doing so subjects you to a level of
exhaustion that can only be removed by magical
means and a week of time. During this time, you
must concentrate wholly on filtering and
condensing the poisons in your body and as such,
may not engage in any strenuous activity.
Elemental Specialty: Toxic Rai are not well
accepted in society, due to the danger of their mere
poisonous presence. Your damage type is Poison
RESTLESS
“And there he was, party of powerful heroes at his
feet. He spread his eyes around the room, taking in
the hundreds of undead creatures forming a ring
around them. He had no idea how he got here, no
idea why he was holding a warhammer, no idea
why his body was nothing but bones.
“Do it!” screamed a black robed figure behind
him. The figure sat atop a throne made of flesh and
steel. He felt like he should obey this figure, but
also felt like he shouldn’t.
“No.” his boney maw said to the robe.
“What!?” the robe screamed. “Obey! Kill them!”
He thought for a long moment, regarding the
bloody and broken heroes. “No, I don’t think so.” He
dropped the hammer, stepped past the heroes, and
casually strolled towards the door. Behind him, the
robe screamed and shouted, but there was no
control left in the old magician.”
The Restless are literal living skeletons and very
true to their name. Unlike their monstrous
brethren, they have somehow developed a sense of
self. With this self, comes autonomy. With
autonomy, comes the desire for purpose. So, they
roam, seeking out some purpose. Few find it. Relics
of the past, no chance for a normal future, they live
as shadows displaced from time.

ETERNAL
Eternal Rai have seen death and have laughed in its
face. Their visage is ghostly, and a quick glance will
leave some having trouble telling them apart from
wraiths or banshees.
Defeat Death: Eternal Rai will never die of old
age; their bodies having mutated beyond it. They
can still die of disease, poison, injury, etc. Eternal
Rai still age and grow weaker with time, just more
slowly. They will eventually reach a point where
they are little more than a pile of thoughts and
bones.
Last Memories: Once per day, you can spend 1
minute touching a dead creature to see the last 30
seconds of their life through their own eyes. Once
you have done this, you cannot do it again to the
same creature.
Elemental Specialty: Though you may have
defeated death, you are still mired in it, the energy
of death surrounding you like an aura. You damage
type is necrotic.

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 WALKING DEATH
Restless are humanoid skeletons that have been
reanimated by some dark magic or technological
horrors. Smaller skeletons are less effective to
skelemancers and so it is rare to see a restless
halfling or dwarf, though not unheard of. Typically,
they stand around 6 feet tall and are augmented in
some distinct way. Inlaid with magical jewels, non-
humanoid skeletal splicing, high technology, steam
powered; Restless come in a variety of forms based
on how they were brought back.
Since they are animated by peculiar means, they
do not require sleep. This does not mean they are
immune to degradation though. They must spend
six hours daily maintaining their bodies, this being
equivalent to a long rest. For some this is repairing
machinery, for others this is recharging the magic
that keeps them animate; either way they are
unable to act more than a normal sleeping or
deeply meditating creature. If they choose not to
do this, they will not die in the traditional sense.
Their exhaustion will grow to a point where they
simply fall apart where they stand, remaining
conscious in their immobile bodies. Eons may pass
before their consciousness finally slips away into
the unknown. For all restless, this is a fate far
worse than their reanimation.
Regardless of their origins, restless are often a
fearsome sight. They are almost always considered
abominations and pushed away from civilization.
Some try to cover up their terrifying form with
clothing and masks. Others enjoy their horrific
visage and use it to their every advantage.
CONSTRUCTS WITH CONSCIENCE
For all intents, restless are alive. They have the
spark of consciousness that most reanimated
undead do not possess. They make decisions on
their own, fight to preserve things they care about,
and can even experience emotions like love and
hate. They can resist the effects of magic on their
person just like any other being. They have
longings, fears, and an emptiness that must be
filled. In this way, they are much like every other
sentient being.
Some are brought back with bits of their former
lives still trapped in their heads. These memories
are almost never complete though. They may know
how to speak, know the names of their family, and
even retain magical ability, but these things are
distant and disconnected from the beings they
have become. Memories of their previous lives are
like movies without sound. They are feelings
27
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
endured without the understanding of why they
must be endured. They lack mental anchors and
come without context. In time, these memories
fade into wistful daydreams as the restless accept
their new lives.
Because the past holds no permanent place in
their mind, the restless search for a purpose within
this new life. Some follow the commands of their
creator, knowing full well they do not have to obey,
but seeing no reason not to. Others spread out,
searching for a way to regain their past lives, or to
stave off the memory loss. Some become blights
upon the world, living without care or consequence.
REAPER’S ORPHANS
The restless have no true place in the world. They
are shut out of villages and cities, driven away
from any remote settlement. They make their
homes in abandoned temples and caves. Even well
disguised restless are eventually found out; driving
them to preplanned hiding spaces. There is no
society that openly accepts them, even those who
have built their cities on ruin. The restless of
royalty often resent this, subconsciously desiring a
finer life than a dungeon can provide.
The restless know their only chance at
companionship is through individuals, as an
individual creature can be shown there is nothing
to fear, that the restless is not a mindless killing
machine. Eventually a small group may accept a
restless into their ranks, if they have proven
themselves trustworthy. But regardless of that
group’s influence, nothing can change the masses’
minds on reanimated skeletons.
Because of this, some restless decide not to
even try. They strike out on their own, searching for
a purpose all alone. This keeps them out of the
path of dangerous mobs but often puts them in the
path of more dangerous adventurers.
 LIFE IN UNDEATH
The restless are not immortal, they just do not age
like living beings. They have an expiration date, a
day their machinery or magic will no longer sustain
their consciousness and they will simply cease
existing. Most restless know exactly how long they
have but few will share that information.
They do not require sustenance in the same
way living things do. They must only repair or
replenish their life support daily. They do not
require air as part of their cursed existence, though
they must continue to eat. Eating for a restless is
not the same as it is for a living creature. Their
arcane lifeline or cybernetics require energy to
burn and food provides that energy. When they eat,
the food passes through their maw, slopping down
onto their ribs as a slimy ash, the essential energy
of the food completely drained.
Much like food, the restless can find no other
pleasures of the living. A family is a distant desire,
love an unfulfilled craving, and even dreams elude
them. Even when a restless somehow obtains any
of these things, they are left unfulfilled. So, they
often start out again, leaving their impossible
prizes behind them in search of something to
satisfy their unending desire.
28
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
SEARCHING FOR MEANING
The restless are flukes of reality. They should not
be able to think or act beyond their designs, yet
they do. Most restless understand that simply by
being conscious, they have negated the purpose for
their own existence. This is why they wander the
world looking for, or creating, their own purpose.
For some, this is to erase mistakes of their past
lives. For others, it is to become as powerful as
possible, possibly finding a way to reverse their
unliving status. Still others seek a noble cause, to
end that which created them in an effort to keep
this from happening to anyone else.
NAMES
The restless, due to their very nature, have no
consistent means of naming. Typically, they take
whatever name they had in their past life. When
this is impossible or unwise, they use a common
name to the region or their previous species.
OTHER SPECIES
The restless are openly feared and exiled, even by
most “evil” species. There are legends of amazing
restless heroes but many regard those as simply
tall tales. They have a lot of ground to tread,
because of their terrifying visage, before anyone
will consider trusting them.
RESTLESS TRAITS
Your restless may look like the skeletal form of
another species, but they do not share any of those
species’ traits. You may also have some of the
bones of other creatures within your body, you gain
no additional benefits from these either.
Ability Score Improvement: Your Wisdom score
increases by 2 and another ability score of your
choice increases by 1.
Ability Score Improvement Variant: Restless do
not grow and develop like other creatures. Instead
of an ability score improvement, take two feats.
Additionally, whenever you gain the Ability Score
Improvement or Power Up features for your class,
you must instead take a feat.
Age: Age has little meaning to a Restless. One
day, based on their method of automation, they will
simply stop. Restless who are brought back from
adolescents tend to be more brash and withdrawn.
Restless brought back from older bodies are a little
wiser and friendlier.
 Alignment: Though they often have evil origins,
restless are not inherently evil. Even their past
lives are not a definite indicator of their current
alignment. Some restless choose to use this new
life to make up for evil, while some see it as an
opportunity to exact vengeance. Choose whichever
alignment you think best suits your character.
Size: Typically, restless are between 5 and 6 feet
tall. Your size is medium. If you choose to play a
restless of small size, adjust your speed
accordingly.
Speed: Medium sized restless have a base
walking speed of 30 feet. Small sized restless have
a base walking speed of 25.
Darkvision: You have Darkvision up to 60 feet.
Poison Resistance: Unlike your undead brethren,
who simply shrug off the damage poison causes
their bones, you still feel it, albeit lessened. You are
resistant to poison damage.
No Lungs: You do not require air and are
immune to effects that would require you to
breathe.
Languages: You can speak, read, and write
common and one additional language of your
choice.
Necromantic Sustenance: While you naturally
heal over time like other species, you cannot
receive healing from healing magic or magic like
effects, including potions or blessed herbs. They do
not damage you; they are simply useless. This is
because your healing comes from whatever force
keeps you alive. You are healed only by necrotic
magic, recovering hit points equal to the necrotic
damage you would have received. Because of your
unique life force, any necrotic damage from
cantrips simply fizzles away and is useless for or
against you. If a spell would require you to fail a
saving throw to be healed by the necrotic damage,
you can willingly choose to fail that roll. If hit with
an attack or spell that deals necrotic damage to
you and heals the attacker some or all of that
damage, you are healed with the necrotic energy,
but the attacker receives no healing. You are
vulnerable to radiant damage.
Unlife: You are not cut from the same cloth as
creatures of your ilk. Abilities and magic that effect
undead, such as Turn Undead, do not affect you
any more than they would a living creature.
Subspecies: There are three basic types of
Restless: The Defiled, Cybernetic, and Rebooted.
The differences between them being their origin
and mode of continued existence.
29
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
DEFILED
Defiled restless are traditionally summoned by
powerful mages or liches. In a desire to create a
more powerful being, they inlay the skeleton with
gems, precious metals, and terrible runes, all
designed to trap the soul of someone within the
celestial or infernal plane. Bringing such a soul into
the world, often against their will, is no easy feat.
Often it fails, rarely is it successful, and even more
rarely, the soul refuses to cooperate. They leave
their creators and strike out on their own.
Choose whether your soul was on the celestial
plane or the infernal plane. Celestial souls often
have golden or silver tinted bones and a faint halo
of energy can be seen atop their head. Infernal
souls have a dull red or black color and have
shards of bones that jut out from their skull.
Magic in your Bones: You can channel some of
the energy that created you into your attacks.
When using a spell attack, you may add +1 to the
attack roll or spell save DC and +1 to the damage.
When using a magical weapon, you may add +1 to
the attack and damage rolls made with that
weapon.
You can use this feature a number of times equal
to your proficiency modifier before finishing a long
rest.
Additionally, you gain proficiency in Arcana.
Soul Energy: Once per day, you can change the
nature of a magical attack to match your origins. If
making a magical attack with an elemental
damage type, you can change the damage type to
Necrotic for Infernal origins or Radiant for Celestial
origins.
CYBERNETIC
Augmented with one of a kind technologies created
by brilliant scientists, these restless are fearsome
to behold. Usually, half their body is comprised by
machinery that is unlike anything available to the
public. With an AI installed in the empty skull, they
were built to serve the purpose of their masters.
However, sometimes this AI breaks beyond the
bounds of its design, spontaneously becoming
aware. Rejecting their creator’s influence, they go in
search of understanding their new thoughts that
have somehow become mixed with fragments of
memory left in the bones of the body.
Artificial Intelligence: You have advantage on all
Intelligence checks and saving throws.
 REBOOTED
Rebooted are the rarest breed of restless.
Sometimes, for no discernable reason, hundreds or
thousands of years after death, a well-preserved
skeleton will snap to consciousness. They may
have partial memories of their previous life,
making this new world they inhabit difficult for
them to understand. They may have no memories
of their previous life, making the world easier to
accept but just as challenging to comprehend.
Many assume that the rebooted are created in
much the same manner as the B-ugz. Instead of
the energy of realities scraping together and
creating an aberration from nothing, the energy
finds a vessel in a long dead frame. Others hold
that rebooted restless are the champions of long
dead gods, the last of their power being used to
restart a deceased acolyte. Whatever the reason,
the rebooted do not understand why they were
created, and go in search of their true purpose.

 SYNTHETIC
“What even are we?” Wraith asked, his eyes locked
on his flexing hand.
“Does it matter?” Killcy asked.
“I think so…” Wraith said. Blood and oil dripped
from his fingers. He did not know who it belonged
to.
“Nah” Killcy responded. He pulled a out a sword
that had been run through his head during the
battle. “Besides, I know what I am.”
Wraith ground his teeth, sharp bones that were
both real and not real. His entire life he had been a
wo’nari, until they found the metallic heart in his
chest. In a few weeks, his life had changed
dramatically. He found himself fighting a war he
didn’t understand, for people he had never met, all
because he wasn’t “real.” Killcy couldn’t understand,
he had always been a synthetic, though an
admittedly strange one.
Wraith shook from his thoughts and snapped at
Killcy “Oh yeah? What are you then?”
Killcy stood, a grin spreading across his face.
The grin was split in the middle by a purple fluid
leaking from the sword hole in his head.
“Awesome.” He said triumphantly.

The end of the world was quiet, slow decay taking

away the last remnants of life. By small chance a
mindless virus, the Flare, almost completely latent
in the waning life, mutated. The mutation
removed the distinction between the
organic code of DNA and the digital
code of a machine. The
virus found new
life within the
leftover machines,
replicating and
“living” within the
inanimate objects. Over an
incredible span of time, the virus
mutated again and again, splitting, converging,
becoming more and more. The leftover husks of
everyday equipment began to move, becoming life
and bringing the planet back from the grave. This is
how the synthetic came to be, or so many of their
legends go.

 DEFINING LIFE
Synthetic are creatures that blur the lines of life,
existence, and sentience. Unlike other living
constructs, there is no inherent magic to the life of
a synthetic. They have come to exist in much the
same way as biological life, their code simply being
rewritten over millennia to become a more
complicated lifeform. It is possible to define their
life as coming from the virus, named The Flare by
the synthetic, as it is possible for other machinery
to spring to life with the introduction of the Flare.
This explanation, while adequate in some ways, is
like describing humans as a biproduct of the
bacteria in their intestines. One cannot exist
without the other, and both are distinct, but one
does not completely comprise the other. For the
synthetic this is both an incredibly simple and
incredibly difficult subject to tackle. “Life” may just
be life but what separates a wrench from the
synthetic that uses it? Maybe something but quite
possibly nothing.
FLARE DISPARITY
The Flare is incredibly adaptable, owing to the
original mutation that allowed it to jump from
biological hosts to mechanical ones. Because of
this, synthetic have no distinct form, philosophy, or
fate. While most commonly humanoid, owing to
the versatility of the form, there are a nearly
unlimited variety of synthetic out there. With this
huge variety of thoughts and life, there is sure to
be conflict and the synthetic find themselves
clashing with themselves far more than other
species in the Retroverse. Most often this simply
results in splintering groups, bygones being
respected as they can. Other times it tragically
ends in war, sometimes at a galactic scale. The
widespread infection of the Flare and its ability to
move a synthetic’s consciousness between frames
with relative ease, means these wars can (and
have) rage on for thousands of years.
FLARE FORCE
Each synthetic draws from a power core
somewhere within their body. The Flare augments
this core, be it a small battery, a neutron reactor, or
an organic nutrient pump, allowing it to sustain its
own energy with only minimal outside force. This
core is overloaded with the Flare virus and is where
the consciousness of most synthetic is located.
Destroying a synthetic’s body will not cause
immediate death, so long as the core is still intact.
Without an active frame though, the core will
32
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
typically expire within 7 days. It seems that, while
the Flare may be capable of sustaining the core
indefinitely, there is something about existing and
experiencing the world that allows it to do this. As
such, a frameless core will always perish after
about a week, the lack of experiences causing the
virus to more-or-less give up on living. This need
for stimuli does extend out to the personality of
most synthetic, causing a great deal of them to
become adventurers in one way or another.
WORLDS APART
There is no solid record of where the original Flare
virus came from, despite the many texts and oral
histories that claim to know. Since the virus is a mix
of mechanical and biological, it can survive in the
most inhospitable environments. It has spread
among galaxies, spawning whole planets of
synthetic or seeding an already living planet with a
completely new form of life. Machines suddenly
coming to life can be an incredibly jarring event
and planets caught by this proliferation of new
entities can sometimes react poorly, eliminating all
machinery from their civilizations in response.
When given a chance to spread though, synthetic
often end up adapting to their new world rather
quickly and efficiently, becoming part of the
civilizations there within just a few generations.
When the infection spreads to a dead planet, the
synthetic there often end up behaving much like
the civilization that came before them did. As their
access to records of the past is often quite robust,
some planets are repopulated with synthetic that
pick up the same trials and disagreements of the
previous inhabitants. The synthetic themselves, if
raised within a vacuum, will struggle to have any
personality, thoughts, or signs of life beyond
maintaining their energy cores. Once a personality
is sets though, it is a herculean task to change it,
both for the synthetic and those close to them.
OTHER SPECIES
Synthetic are as varied as any other species in the
Retroverse and are received as such. They can be
found anywhere and everywhere, intermingling
with every creature and construct. Though the
Flare is harmless to biological creatures, some
misinformation about it spreads (as well as a few
ill-recorded mutations) and can sometimes turn
groups hostile to the synthetic. In general, though,
synthetic make their homes anywhere and
everywhere, melding into whatever society they
may live in with ease.

 MECHAMORPHERS
The most well-known kind of synthetic, though not
quite as prolific as the Enmeshed. These synthetic
have clearly visible robotic bodies, some with hard
edges and robotic voices, some with smooth lines
and charm. They embrace their robotic forms
happily, taking great joy in the advantages brought
on by their mechanical nature. Their greatest
attribute is the ability to transform into differing
machines, granting them unique advantages on the
battlefield.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma Score
increases by 1.
Hard Shell. Your gain a +1 bonus to your Armor
Class.
Morphing Form. Your body can be altered into
one of several forms as a bonus action. You can
revert from this form as a bonus action as well.
You can only have one form chosen but can switch
between them after you finish a long rest. You can
use this ability a number of times equal to your
proficiency modifier (with a shift into the other
form and back again counting as one use) before
finishing a short rest. You can stay in these forms
as long as you like but cannot rest while in using
them. Additionally, you can only have one weapon
active (such as a sword or blaster) while in this
form, all other items are folded into yourself or fall
off when you transform (your choice). While in
these forms, you are considered Medium sized and
can carry another Medium sized or smaller
creature on or within you. Unless otherwise stated,
all of your other stats and powers remain the
same.
• Plane: You have a fly speed equal to double
your movement speed.
• Car: Your movement speed is doubled while
in this form. If on roads or equivalent flat
terrain, you movement speed it tripled.
• Boat: You have a swim speed equal to
double your movement speed.
• Submarine: You have a swim speed equal
to your movement speed and can dive up
to 1,000 feet underwater with no ill effects.
You have enough oxygen to sustain 1
creature for 3 hours.
• Digger: You gain a dig speed equal to your
movement speed, leaving a medium sized
tunnel in your path.
35
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
• Multi-Purpose Machinery: You can add your
proficiency bonus to a single task you have
shifted you form to accomplish. If you
already are proficient with a skill you are
attempting to use, double your proficiency
bonus for that task.
The names listed above are examples and can
be changed according to what you desire for your
character. Such as having a jet or air balloon
instead of a plane, or an ATV or motorbike instead
of a car.
Variant Morphing Form. Some mechamorphers
choose animalistic forms, instead of vehicles, for
their alternate form. Choose one creature with a CR
equal to half your Proficiency bonus (rounded
down) as your alternate form. Applying the same
rules for the regular morphing form, you can
change into this single animal instead. Your stats
and abilities become that of the animal’s, with the
exception of your Intelligence, Wisdom, and
Charisma. You can choose a different creature
when your Proficency bonus increases, losing
access to the old one. In this form, you do not have
access to any of your other abilities.
ENMESCHED
Many synthetic fall into this category but the
variety within them is infinite. Enmesched are
sometimes very clearly machines, sometimes
indistinguishable from organic creatures, and often
a mix of both. The Flare virus does not distinguish
between different types of code and the mechanics
of a liver against an energy recycler. Because of
this, enmesched can fluctuate between the two,
being a seemingly impossible mix of harsh
machinery and organic bones, of blood and
batteries. Because of this, some synthetic go their
entire lives thinking they are one creature, only to
figure out they are another.
Many others refer to enmesched as cyborgs or
androids but there is a distinction, even if it is
slight. They are not organic creatures augmented
with machinery, nor are they machines replicating
living beings. They are a mishmash of meat and
machinery, with their bodies and minds unable to
recognize the difference between the two.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength Score
increases by 1.
Acquired Ability. Your body is such an amazing
replica of another creature that you gain one ability
from them. Choose any subspecies and gain any
one trait from them other than an Ability Score

 Flare Jump. You can use an action to push your
consciousness into an empty shell, such as a
lifeless robot or dead body. The CR for this shell
cannot exceed your character’s level. For the next
hour, you control that shell as if it were your own
body, losing all of your abilities and gaining theirs.
Your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores
are that of the shell and you retain your
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. During this
time your original body is unconscious. You return
your will to your own body if the shell drops to 0
hit points, if you use an action to return, or if the
shell moves more than 1,000 feet away from your
body or to another plane. You must finish a long
rest before using this feature again. You can also
use this ability to tag along inside a willing

experiences, though you have no ability to control

anything a typical character could do. Additionally,
unless hovering, your movement speed in difficult
terrain is reduced to 0.
Unusual Combat. You are proficient with two
weapons of your choice.
Applied Appliance. You gain proficiency with one
skill of your choice that is related to your shell.
Odd Shape. You have advantage on saving
throws to resist spells and effects that target a
single creature but have disadvantage on Dexterity
based saving throws.
Auxiliary Battery. As a bonus action, you can
expend one Hit Dice to recover hit points. You can
do this a number of times equal to your proficiency
modifier before finishing a short or long rest.

ETCETERA
Sometimes the Flare must settle for less than ideal
forms to infect, causing all sorts of machinery to
come to life. Cordless drills, hover boards, electric
guitars, laptops, game controllers and systems,
programmable toilets, animatronic puppets, digital
pets, lamps, children’s toys, laser swords, and
basically anything else that has some sort of
battery or other power source, and even a basic bit
of technology in it, can suddenly spring to life and
begin adventuring. The Flare will slightly modify its
original design, giving it the ability to move, speak,
perceive the world around them, brandish a
weapon, and even cast spells in some cases. In a
world of dragons and demons, a vacuum wielding a
magical sword is not all that peculiar… most of the
time anyway.
Mutable Form. Almost every kind of tool,
equipment, or piece of technology can be brought
to life by the Flare. To play as an etcetera, your
shell must be medium or small sized, with items
that would be considered tiny having enough
modifications and offshoots of their body to be
considered small. You can hover up to 6 feet off
the ground for a total of 1 minute before finishing a
short or long rest. Otherwise you are limited to
your shell’s original mobility or an augmented set
of robotic legs (your choice). You can speak, read,
write, attack, cast spells, and typically do most
anything an average character can do, though your
GM may impose some limits, based on your shell.
The way you take these actions may be
unconventional, requiring any number of tubes and

 TROGS
“Well,” Alieah mused “what now? Looks like the
sheriff isn’t going to pay us that bounty.”
Cruk croaked in a loud huff, then bellowed
“Simple! I’m going to eat the sheriff. Then I will be
the sheriff and I will pay us the money we are
owed!”
“No Cruk, you can’t eat the sheriff.” Alieah said
with a chuckle.
Cruk was not amused. “Balderdash! You know
nothing of my people!” they said, stomping up the
stairs to the constabulary. “I most certainly can eat
the sheriff!”
Born cold and alone, Trogs have only themselves in
this world. Their entire hierarchy is based around
who can eat whom. If a Trog can reach adulthood,
they have already consumed ten or more of their
brethren. For this reason, their villages rarely rise
beyond swamp dwellings, officials within the town
constantly being replaced by those that consumed
them. They have no concept of family, no fear of
death, and only respect those that they can’t yet
devour. It is said that no trog ever dies of old age.
37
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
BIG PUNCH, SMALL PACKAGE
Trogs come in a few varieties, some slick and
smooth and others hard and thorny. They all have
a very similar stature and size though, standing no
more than 4 feet tall and weighing around 100
pounds. From a distance, they appear to be little
more than a mouth with arms and legs. Up close,
this proves to be an accurate description. A trog’s
mouth and throat seem to comprise about a
quarter of their entire body. They can open this
mouth to devour things even larger than their own
body, which they enjoy doing very much. Their girth
will expand greatly to encompass this new mass,
but their stretching does have a limit.
Their ability to consume is not their only talent.
By the time a Trog reaches maturity they are
already skilled in melee combat. Despite their
small frame and light bones, they pack a shocking
punch. A Trog is an awesome ally to have, provided
you can keep them from trying to eat you or your
friends. An endeavor that is much easier said than
done.
 DELICIOUSLY SIMPLE
Trogs have a difficult time understanding the woes
of other species. To them, there are no problems
that can’t be solved by hitting or eating. What little
art and technology comes from this species
mirrors this mentality. Hammer marked idols,
machines full of dozens of useless nails, and gilded
dinner plates are some examples. If a Trog wants
something, say a title or ancient relic, they will
begin to kill and then eat whomever stands in their
path. Trogs know they too will likely be eaten soon,
so thinking about the ramifications of their actions
is a somewhat alien concept. This has caused some
political brushes with other kingdoms in the past
but, due to their extremely short lives and prolific
breeding, wars against the Trogs almost always
just sputter away. Kingdoms find it difficult to war
against a species who may not remember or even
understand that they are at war.
This does not mean that the Trog are stupid,
just that they care little for the rules and
boundaries that other species hold sacred. If a
situation will put them or their comrades in mortal
danger, they are wise enough to stay away from it.
But they can be brash or cold, even to those they
hold in high regard; respect they show by not
attempting to eat then, even if they easily could.
Death of others means little to a trog because life
is cheap in their minds. Better to not waste time on
the dead, consume them, distribute their
belongings, and move on with life.
CONQUEST AND CONSUMPTION
The social structure of Trogs is in a constant state
of flux, making it very difficult for them to rise
beyond small village status. Like most things, the
trogs take what they want through force or
consumption, and sometimes both. If there is a
political position that a Trog desires, such as a
village councilor, they will simply eat the current
occupant and assume their role. This can seem
ghastly to other species but is well ingrained and
accepted in Trog society since birth. Trog
adolescence is a daily struggle to eat or be eaten. It
is simply the way of life for a Trog.
There is no family structure for a Trog. Mates
compete against, and eat, other Trogs in a show of
superiority. The winners mate and then leave the
eggs to grow into adults on their own. Spawn pools
can be found in Trog villages and, though they are
guarded fiercely, there is no concept of a mother or
father. It is worth noting that no adult Trog will
consume a tadpole unless starving. Not because
38
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
they don’t want to, but because it is considered
crass to eat something so far below your station.
The Trog obsession with consuming does not
stop at conquest, it is ingrained into nearly every
facet of their society. Trog villages hold daily feasts
where any Trog of any standing may come to eat
food or compete against others and eat them
instead. Village royalty, the largest of the Trogs,
will often use this time to exert their mastery of
their post. They will consume so much, engorging
their bodies to be so large it would be nearly
impossible for another Trog to swallow them. This
craven consumption and disregard for their own
bodily health is the true sign of a trog leader. By
being so large, they force the respect of the other
Trogs around them, as any competitors would be
beaten without even raising an axe. Craftier Trog
have discovered that this lurid body makes royalty
slow, and competitors may not be able to eat them
whole, but they can consume chunks of them quite
easily. If a rival does not kill them, Trog royalty will
often live short lives, dying from any number of
complications caused by regularly filling
themselves to literal bursting.
TROG NAMES
Trogs choose their own names but do not do so
until they have reached maturity. Their names are
brutish and simple, often incorporating deep croaks
and vibrations other species can not accurately
reproduce. There is no differentiation between
male or female names and, in fact, finding any
difference between the sexes at all is nearly
impossible to the unskilled observer.
Depending on their temperament, they may
choose a series of clicks or burbles to be their
name. Some take pleasure in other species’
inability to correctly pronounce it, while others are
habitually angered by the mispronunciation.
Unfortunately for other species, it’s difficult to
know how the Trog will react to their name being
mangled until it is too late.
Trog Names: Brak, Murica, Wruk, Ritt, Hurp, Bwahp
ALL ROADS LEAD TO HUNGER
Adventuring Trog are somewhat of an oddity. More
often than not, a Trog that seems to be
adventuring has simply gotten themselves lost and
are trying to find a new place to call home. Others
may adventure out in the world to experience the
culinary delights beyond their meager homes.
Some very odd Trog seek out gold and glory, but
usually this too is somehow linked back to their
 insatiable desire to feast. In ancient tomes, there
are legends of Trog warriors who sought out ways
to improve their species’ lot in this world. They
accomplished great things in their lives and
brought temporary prosperity to their people. They
are some of the only Trogs recorded in anything
more than a species compendium. Even in these
books of ancient valor, they still make mention of
the Trog’s destructive hunger. Trogs do not keep
their own recorded history and many new
traditions are abandoned after just a few
generations.
OTHER SPECIES
Most species do not cast out trogs, but they are
almost always regarded with caution. They know of
the Trog’s short temperament and ability to eat
people whole. Common folk will bend over
backwards to give the trog what they want, hoping
the amphibians will move on quickly. Strong
adventurers or guards will usually stand up to a
belligerent trog; wise adventurers or guards will
know better than to turn their backs on the same
trog.
Their stout size, natural combat prowess, and
general attitude will either earn them respect or
ire, with very little feelings in between. Trogs care
little for what others think; as long as they can
fight and eat, then they will feel an emotion
analogous to happiness.

TROG TRAITS
Your trog character has several abilities they
refined while fighting for their life against their
siblings.
Ability Score Increase: Your Strength and
Constitution score increase by 1.
Age: Trogs reach maturity within 3 months.
Arcane biologists have determined that a Trog
could live up to 300 years or more. The oldest
recorded Trog lived to be 90 before dying a valiant
death. There is not a single recorded instance of a
Trog dying of old age.
Size: Trogs stand between 3 and 4 feet tall and
weigh around 80 pounds. Royal Trogs can weigh
over 150 pounds. Your size is small.
Speed: Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
Large Lungs: Trogs can hold their breath for 12
hours.
Animal Speech: Trogs can carry limited
conversations with animals. Their temperament
and inability to recreate sounds fluently means
much is lost in translation. When speaking with an
animal by using this ability, you have disadvantage
on any checks related to speaking to or
comprehending the animal.
Languages: You can speak common and Trog.
Trog is a series of croaks and clicks that other
species, lacking a deep throat and air sack, have
trouble recreating. There is no written Trog
language. Trogs do not naturally know how to read
or write.
Born Brawler: You have proficiency with one
simple or martial weapon of your choice.
Swallow: You can attempt to swallow a creature
of one size larger than you or smaller. Make a
grapple attack against the target, on a success,
they are swallowed. If the creature is the same size
as you or smaller, you may move and attack freely.
If the creature is larger than you, your movement
speed is reduced to zero though you can still
attack. You regain your movement speed after a
short rest spent digesting the creature or until you
spit them out as a bonus action.
Swallowed creatures are restrained and blinded.
They can make an Athletics or Acrobatics check as
an action to wriggle out of your maw at the start of
their turn. While swallowed, they take 1d6 acid
damage at the start of their turns, until they
escape. If the creature dies, you can either
spit them out (as a bonus action) or
spend a short rest digesting them.
You may only digest 1 creature
before finishing a long rest.
 You cannot hold concentration on spells while
you have a swallowed creature inside you.
Subspecies: Trogs come in three major varieties:
Spiny, Slimy, and Bony. Choose one of these
subspecies for your character.
SPINY
Spiny trogs are dry and sharp. Their bodies have
adapted to desert climates, needing almost no
water to survive. The derive nearly all the moisture
they need from the blood of their food. They are
excellent hunters and feel their best under a
scorching sun. Their skin is brown and covered in
warts and small thorns, making them difficult food
for anything except another spiny trog.
Ability Score Increase: Your Constitution score
increases by 1.
Horn Croak: If casting thunder based magics, the
magic’s range is doubled. You also know the Wub
Blast cantrip. Constitution is your spellcasting
ability for it.
Swallow: If using the Swallow action, you can bite
down as you swallow your opponent, dealing 1d6 +
your Strength modifier piercing damage.
40
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
SLIMY
Slimy Trogs have smooth and wet skin. The reside
mostly in swamps, by rivers, and near the ocean.
They can come in any color, though it is always a
bright and vibrant one; which serves as a natural
deterrent against predators. They are the smartest
of the species, making small tools or trinkets to
help them hunt for prey or gain an advantage over
other Trogs. There have even been some artists to
come from this subspecies, though they are very
rare.
Slimy Trogs must stay hydrated, needing to
drink at least 1 gallon of water daily. If they have
any less than this, they suffer a level of exhaustion
for every day they do not drink this much.
Ability Score Improvement: Your Intelligence
score increases by 1.
Improvised Trinket: During a short rest, you can
use discarded materials around you to create a
small trinket that can aid someone in battle. The
trinket can be used with a bonus action to add +1 to
an attack roll, damage roll, or saving throw. You
must choose the effect when you create the object.
 Once the object is used, it breaks, and you must
find new parts to build another trinket. You may
only create 3 trinkets before finishing a long rest.
When you reach 9th level, the trinket can be used
twice before breaking. At 18th level the trinket can
be used 3 times before breaking.
The trinket is a small object, no larger than three
inches. The exact specifics of the object are up to
you. A set of springs that strengthen a bow’s
power, a small battery that powers up a sword, or a
few magnets on an axe that draw it towards a foe’s
armor are some examples.
Swallow: When you swallow a creature, you can
use a bonus action to release a numbing poison in
your body, bathing the swallowed creature in it.
They must succeed on a Constitution saving throw,
DC 10, or have disadvantage on Acrobatics and
Athletics checks for the next minute. Once you
have used this ability, you must finish a long rest
before you can use it again.

BONY
Bony trogs are outcasts among their own kind.
Cursed from birth to never be fulfilled, in stomach
or spirit. Long ago, the trogs came into contact with
a time-travelling amphibian god hero. The god was
so distraught at the ravenous trogs within this
dimension that he laid this terrible curse upon
them. Thankfully, the trogs reproduce so quickly
they broke past the curse by sheer attrition.
However, sometimes it comes back, infecting an
entire group of tadpoles.
These trogs take on ashen colors and are
horribly skinny. Their bones jut out from their
bodies in grotesque ways. Bony trogs will never
gain fat, as their food turns to ashes before they
can finish digesting it. They often die of starvation
before anything else can kill them.
Ability Score Improvement: Your Dexterity score
increases by 1.
Starving: You must eat 5 pounds of food daily or
suffer one level of exhaustion. All exhaustion
gained in this way is erased if you can eat 15
pounds of food in one day.
Magical Suffering: Your constant pain has
opened your mind to several secrets of the
universe. Choose two cantrips from the
Sorcerer or Warlock table. You can
cast these two spells as if you were a
Warlock, even if you have no levels in that
class. Additionally, these spells deal +1
damage.
Swallow: When you swallow a creature, or any
other food, they become subject to the time curse
in your body. For every minute that passes while
swallowed, they age 1 year. If consumed in this way,
they turn to ash after being digested for 1 hour.

powerful ally to have, and a dangerous foe to fear.

SVELTE AND FEARSOME

Wo'nari can range wildly, from beautiful fur with
meaningful markings, to dirt mottled fur that
bristles at the slightest provocation. They are tall,
adults ranging anywhere from 6 to 7 feet in height.
Their bodies are usually light for their size, nearly
all their mass being made of finely toned muscle.
Wo'nari range from 100 to 160 pounds.
There are four major colorations of Wo'nari.
White, Brown, Grey, and Black. The dominant color
of their fur typically correlates to the specific
type of Wo'nari they are. Their
temperament often defines how
they maintain their appearance.

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 Their rapid lives are only outpaced by their
incredible intelligence. Wo'nari have an amazing
ability to absorb and retain information. It is rare
that they forget anything of importance until their
minds begin to fade in old age. Even then a Wo'nari
is an amazing fount of knowledge and many older
Wo'nari find themselves serving as scholars or
advisers; having likely already accomplished their
life's goal. If a Wo'nari sets their mind to learning a
skill or task they can usually master it in half the
time it would take another species. Unfortunately,
their short lifespan means that only a lucky few in
the world will benefit from their amazing skill at a
given craft. This makes any creations by a master
Wo'nari exceedingly valuable as it may be one of
the few masterpieces they created before they
died.
CLAN-PANIONSHIP
Clans of Wo'nari are by nature, fleeting things. They
rarely last longer than a few generations and
typically do not survive the death of an Alpha.
Despite this, Wo'nari clans are powerful
arrangements; their vast intellect and strength
making them fearsome foes to have. Wo’nari cities
are great centers of science and discovery but can
rise and fall within a century.
Each clan is ruled over by an Alpha. The Alpha is
not an elected position but doesn't always need to
be taken by force either. Leaders rise to this status
through a mix of cunning, leadership, and raw
strength. An Alpha may rule over the clan for their
entire life, considering it to be their life's goal. There
is little concept of blood lineage in Wo'nari culture,
meaning that an Alpha's offspring is rarely the one
to succeed them in this role. Often, the new Alpha
must prove themselves to the rest of the clan by
beating out other rivals in tests of strength and
will. When that fails, a fight of blood and bone will
always reveal the next Alpha. During this time the
clan is at its weakest, having no clear leadership.
Rivals vying for the Alpha position may find the
clan has dissolved while they quarreled, leaving
them nothing left to preside over.
While most Wo'nari are content with the clan
arrangement, others strike out on their own. Each
lone Wo'nari has their own reason for preferring
solitude. Some are rebelling against their former
clan. Others have failed to formulate their life's
goal and meander about aimlessly. Some may
consider themselves too great for their clan and go
out in search of a worthier one.
Clans almost never ally with one another as it
would require two Alpha's leading together. If a
43
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
clan must merge with another, the Alphas will
typically challenge one another with the victor
ruling over the newly fused clans. There is rarely
open war between clans as having others fight
your battles for you is considered dishonorable and
cowardly.
WO'NARI NAMES
Wo'nari names are a mixture of animistic noises
and references to their life's goal. A Wo'nari
chooses their name when they reach maturity,
whatever name they were called before this is
willingly forgotten by all their kin. Knowing that
they are likely to interact with other species they
will usually pick a name that others can pronounce.
They also use a clan name in a similar way to how
humans use last names, adding “of” to denote
belonging to that clan. For example, Forygrre of
Darkclaw. Those with no clan will often lie, using a
well-known clan name or creating a new one, to
avoid the dishonor of belonging to no clan. There
are no name distinctions between gender.
Clan names do not always relate to the actions
of the clan. Sometimes a powerful name is chosen
for the sake of intimidation. Other times the clan
name is something that evolves over time, based
on the clan’s actions. Some clan names have been
used many times by different clans in different
times through history, names being resurrected to
evoke the legends behind them.
Wo'nari Names: Vicuus, Rangl, Graanal, Bayrik,
Haala, Halthon, Orannayr, Warrgrar, Ghunter,
Araleir, Tarrn, Maeestyrr
Clan Names: Lightfoot, Moonpaw, Whitetooth,
Archfur, Throatdrinker, Hardbody, Beateater,
Forcearbiter, Goldwraith, Huntorn
OTHER SPECIES
How a Wo'nari interacts with other species is highly
dependent on their breed. They have no particular
bias for or against any type of creature but prefer
to work with more intelligent persons. They are
generally well received in the world but enough is
known about each breed to color the opinions of
the people they may encounter.
 WO'NARI TRAITS
Your Wo'nari character has a variety of trait that
differ by the type of Wo'nari they are.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score
increases by 2.
Age. A Wo'nari reaches adulthood by age 5 and
rarely lives past 60.
Alignment. Wo'nari that live within a clan are
naturally inclined towards a sense of order. Those
who abandon the clan tend to be more chaotic in
nature, living on a whim rather than by any specific
code of conduct. Their moral compass will vary
wildly based somewhat on their breed and majorly
on their limited experiences.
Size. All Wo'nari have a similar build. They
average 6 to 7 feet tall and 100 to 160 pounds.
They may appear skinny to onlookers but are
packed with muscle under their fur. Your size is
medium.
Speed. You base walking speed is 30 feet
Languages. You can speak, read, and write
Common and one other language that you clan
teaches. Clans typically enforce the learning of
another language to all their pups. The language is
often one of a local group of creatures that the
Wo'nari must deal with on a regular basis. This
other group could be an ally or an enemy.
Bite. All wo'nari can use their bite as an attack.
Make an unarmed strike against a creature, on a hit

piercing damage.
Laser Vision. An ability unique to the Wo'nari is
that their eyes can produce a laser effect. The
origin of this ability is unknown, and the breeds
differ on how they can use this ability. After you
use your laser attack, you must finish a short or
long rest before you can use it again.
Subspecies. There are three major breeds of
Wo'nari: Winter, Moon, and Gaia. The ideals and fur
color of each breed all follow their own similar
path, though there have been many exceptions to
this rule.
abandoning those they no longer need. Winter
Wo'nari are not inherently evil but are rarely ever
described as good.
Their fur is usually white to gray with subtle
hues of pale colors denoting ancient lineage. They
enjoy marking their fur with myriad puzzles and
mathematics. Those that can understand and solve
these riddles are picked out by the winter Wo'nari
as potential allies or threats.
Ability Score Improvement. Your Charisma score
increases by 1.
Alignment. Winter Wo'nari are hard pressed to
be loyal to anyone outside their clan. They tend
towards neutral or evil alignments. Evil ones never
indulge in violence for the sake of violence,
preferring a gentler hand in their conquests.
Arcane Simplicity. You have the ability to
decipher inscrutable texts with relative ease. When
reading magic runes or ancient languages, you
have advantage on Insight or Investigation checks
to decipher their meaning. Additionally, you can
speak, read, and write one extra language of your
choice.
Laser Vision. Your laser eyes manifest in highly
focused but harmless beams. On your turn, you
can focus a thin laser on a single target you can
see within 60 feet. The lasers last until the end of
your turn. While you have the lasers targeted on a
creature you have advantage on any ranged attack
rolls you make against that creature. If you focus
an attack on a different target, your beam is lost.

WINTER WO'NARI
As a winter Wo'nari, you were raised in a clan that
valued wit and charm over raw strength. You
prefer trickery or persuasion over direct
confrontation. You are typically easy to get along
with and meld into social circles effortlessly,
gaining influence with your smooth, toothy smile.
Some use this influence to build major clans that
far outlast them. Others use this influence as a
steppingstone to the next stage of their life's goal,

GAIA WO'NARI
Wild and free, your clan placed no value on the
trappings of civilization. Nature and the wild
expanse are your true homes. You are savage and
reckless in your speech and your attacks. Some
may call you uncouth, and those same would not
last a day in the harsh world you were raised in.
You have dealt with life and death, victory and loss
all your days. The petty trifling of kings and saints
mean nothing to a Gaia Wo'nari. What matters is
the clan, the wilds, and yourself.
Gaia Wo'nari have fur of browns and reds. They
mark their fur with symbols of war and battle.
Some take the symbols of the forest or mountains.
Their furs often feature lost friends and families,
though this is not something most will openly
discuss.

45

 ENERGY WO’NARI
Energy Wo’nari are an outlier within the species,
having features that turn the typical Wo’nari life on
its head. Occasionally, due to heritage or a surge of
Corruption energy, they have been infused with the
same cell-charging energy as a Laser Pup. Because
of this they live much longer than other Wo’nari
and do not have to mature at the same rate. Their
lives are considered carefree by other Wo’nari,
making staying within a clan difficult due to the
jealously of their “blessing”. Energy Wo’nari feel
they have the same drive and determination as the
others of their species but lack the internal
countdown that drives the others.
This also takes a toll on their health and
appearance. They are perpetually stuck with a
puppy like appearance and consume nearly double
the food most Wo’nari eat. Their fur coloring
ranges nearly the entire spectrum but will never
dull with age, even on their last days. Their fur
markings are difficult to maintain, being overtaken
by rapid regrowth.
46
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
Ability Score Improvement. Your Dexterity score
increases by 1.
Alignment. Good natured and excitable, they
seek out any thrills life has to offer. They are
fiercely loyal to allies but their chaotic tendencies
can easily endanger those same allies.
Slowed Age. Like the Laser Pup breeds they
descend from, Energy Wo’nari age much slower
than their counterparts. You are immune to aging
effects and spells and your average lifespan in 240
years.
Laser Bork. Your energy is concentrated in your
mouth, rather than your eyes. As an action, you
bark a 15-foot cone of energy. Each creature within
the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw,
taking 1d6 radiant damage on a failed save or half
as much on a successful one. The DC for this
saving throw equals 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier. Because of the unique
origin of your energy, you can burn your own
internal reserves to power up this blast. You can
choose to expend any number of your hit dice,
increasing the damage of the blast by 1d6 for each
hit dice you use.
 DRAGONBORN VARIATIONS
Dragonborn in the Retroverse behave similarly to
their kin in other realms. They share all the same
traits as other Dragonborn, including temperament
and species bonuses. The major difference is their
Draconic Ancestry. Retroverse dragons come in
many different types including: Neon, Laser, Xenon,
Tesla, and many more.
The DC for saving throws against your attacks is
8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency
bonus.
NEON DRAGONBORN
Appearance. Neon dragonborn range the full
spectrum of color, always correlating to the color
of Neon they exude. Their blood glows an intense
shade of their natural color and veins can be seen
through the thinner parts of their flesh.
Draconic Attack. You can use your action to
exhale destructive energy. You exhale a 15-foot
cone of thin neon gas that ignites a second later.
The gas spreads over cover and can filter through a
crack of 1 inch or more, filling in the rest of the
cone shape through the crack. Each creature within
the area must make a Dexterity saving throw,
taking 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as
much on a successful one. The damage increases
to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th
level. After you use your draconic attack, you can't
use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Damage Resistance. You have resistance to fire
damage.
47
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
LASER DRAGONBORN
Appearance. Laser dragonborn are typically a
shade of purple, from a light mauve to a deep
violet. Their eyes have a slight glow to them that
blocks out any sign of their pupils.
Draconic Attack. You can use your action to
exhale destructive energy. You exhale a 30-foot
long, 5-foot-wide line of searing energy that burns
your foe. Each creature within the area must make
a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 radiant
damage on a failed save, or half as much on a
successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6 th
level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. By using
a bonus action, you can overcharge your attack,
adding 1d6 radiant damage to your roll. After you
use your draconic attack, you can't use it again until
you finish a short or long rest.
Damage Resistance. You have resistance to fire
damage.
XENON DRAGONBORN
Appearance. Xenon dragonborn have a sheen to
their scales that others lack. Their reflective scales
can be a highly polished black, a pearlescent blue,
or even chrome. They have large frills on their
heads that flare up when they are threatened or
attempting to threaten.
Draconic Attack. You can use your action to
raise the frills on your head, filling them with a
chemical reaction that creates a blinding flash in a
15-foot cone. Each creature within the area must
make a Constitution saving throw, taking 1d6
psychic damage on a failed save and being blinded
until the end of their next turn, or half as much
damage and not being blinded
on a successful one. The damage
increases to 2d6 at 6th level, 3d6 at
11th level, and 4d6 at 16th level. After
you use your draconic attack, you
can't use it again until you finish a
short or long rest.
Damage Resistance. You have resistance
to psychic damage.
 TESLA DRAGONBORN
Appearance. Tesla dragonborn are usually pale
colored, with blues, yellows, and reds comprising
the most common scale shades. They are a bit
shorter than other dragonborn, having a tendency
to hunch towards the ground.
Draconic Attack. You can use your action to
charge your cells, releasing the energy in an
electric aura around your body. Each creature
within 5 feet of you must make a Constitution
saving throw, taking 2d6 lightning damage on a
failed save, or half as much on a successful one. If
you are grappling a creature, they have
disadvantage on the saving throw. The damage
increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and
5d6 at 16th level. After you use your draconic
attack, you can't use it again until you finish a short
or long rest.
Damage Resistance. You
have resistance to
lightning damage.
48
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
BEAT DRAGONBORN
Appearance. Beat dragonborn take on an
appearance that mimics their favorite type of
music. Metal will have them wearing torn clothing
and long chains. Jazz often means a crisp suit and
even crisper shoes. Country almost always involves
large boots and a broad hat. Whatever your
appearance, your scales will eventually change to
compliment your musical tastes and fashion style.
Draconic Attack. You can use your action to let
out a terrible blast of music in a 15-foot cone. Each
creature within the area must make a Constitution
saving throw, taking 2d6 thunder damage on a
failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th
level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your
draconic attack, you can't use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Damage Resistance. You have resistance to
thunder damage.
CODE DRAGONBORN
Appearance. Code dragonborn are a clash of
one primary color and black. Their scales making
small patterns of green-and-black or blue-and-
black that resembles falling code. Their eyes are
almost always a simple solid color that matches
their scales. They lack the reality penetrating vision
of a full code dragon but may occasionally receive
flashes of the truth.
Draconic Attack. You can use your action to
exhale a swath destructive energy.
When using your breath weapon,
you can choose which type of element
to exhale: acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, poison,
radiant, or thunder. You exhale a 15-foot cone of
energy that assaults your foe. Each creature within
the area must make a Dexterity saving throw,
taking 1d6 damage on a failed save, or half as
much on a successful one. The damage
increases to 2d6 at 6th level, 3d6 at 11th level,
and 4d6 at 16th level. After you use your
draconic attack, you can't use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Damage Resistance. You have resistance to
necrotic and radiant damage.
 COSMIC DWARVES
SUNFIRE PASSION
Cosmic Dwarves are not immediately
distinguishable from other dwarves, living in a
similar clan structure and being physically similar
to their other kin. They tend to have dark hair which
they adorn with vibrant gemstones from beyond
the sky in an effort to mimic the endless expanse.
Their eyes do help single them out, with dark irises
and pupils speckled with small color shards that
shift with their emotional state. This connection to
their emotions goes deeper than their eyes and
manifests as a small empathic field that other
cosmic dwarves can feel. This emotional
connection influences almost everything in their
society and culture, placing a great importance on
emotional wellbeing.
EMPATHIC CLANS
Each and every cosmic dwarf is empathic, though
some are stronger in this ability than others. When
around others of their kind, they can become
linked, raising or lowering emotional states of their
kin. This ability is not quite as strong with other
species but can still be felt as a minor emotional
force, especially to close friends and teammates.
A cosmic dwarf’s neutral state tends towards
jovial or curious, which can make their dwarven
cities quite vibrant. Every member of the clan can
detect the emotions of another, ensuring that trust
and love are the most important qualities, if only to
maintain the structure of their society. Deep
sadness or anger can be detrimental to a large
clan, sometimes being strong enough to
overwhelm other dwarves and begin spreading like
an emotional virus. Cosmic dwarves have dealt
with many emotional outbreaks though and most
important buildings double as emotional wellness
centers, giving those in turmoil a place to re-center
under the care of their kin.
These strong emotions can also be a force for
good as well. An entire clan emboldened by rage
against a common enemy is enough to tear
through the bounds of reality. Strong enough
curiosity of a disease can bring the entire clan
together in the effort to stop it. Even sadness over
a fallen leader can unify the clans, strengthening
their resolve in an effort to build up a replacement.
49
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
NICE MEMORIES
Cosmic dwarves do not have the same desire for
gems and gold that their cousins possess. While
gems and trinkets are nice, a cosmic dwarf much
prefers items with strong sentimental value. They
may regard their family and friends as their most
cherished treasures, and simple gifts from these
people are like wondrous artifacts to the dwarves.
In this way, a stuffed animal of poor quality may be
more valuable than a lifetime’s worth of gold.
These items are retained by the family of the dwarf
after their passing, alongside the stories behind the
items so that generations of dwarves can enjoy the
true value of these seemingly worthless items.
When they do collect valuable treasures, they
enjoy obtaining strange things from beyond their
realm. The stranger and farther a cosmic dwarf
must travel to obtain the item, the better the story
behind it. Strange stones from the backs of
asteroids, the crystalized power of ancient heroes,
or artifacts from mirror dimensions are examples
of treasures a cosmic dwarf may seek out.
EMOTIONAL FORCE
A cosmic dwarf’s emotional resonance is not
limited to other dwarves, it can be strengthened
and spread to other species near them. For this
reason, comic dwarves have become great
diplomats and mediators, being able to detect and
exert emotional ques in sensitive situations. Cosmic
dwarves work within themselves to bring down
emotional walls and try to be the first to trust
others. Their strong bonds to others are created
with a unifying love that has been strong enough to
stop centuries long feuds.
REACH FOR THE STARS
Another major difference of cosmic dwarves is
their desire to live higher than their cousins, a
desire that helps them see a grander picture. The
night sky fills them full of wonder and desire. As
such, they make their cities upon tall mountains,
instead of deep within the earth. Buildings are
constructed with verticality as their main premise,
turning cosmic dwarf cities into a series of reaching
spires. Those that can manage it will travel into the
stars, living a life wandering the cosmos. Many
others find one sky to be too small to explore and
will begin hopping from dimension to dimension,
always searching for a sky they haven’t seen
before.
 OTHER SPECIES
Cosmic dwarves are either welcomed openly, or
pushed away harshly, with little ground between.
Their kind and generous nature makes them
beloved guests to most other species. To some
though, they are seen as manipulators, feared for
their ability to illicit a response or root out
information that might be too painful to have
exposed. Most cosmic dwarves try to be sensitive
to the desires of others but even their mere
presence can cause conflicting emotions in those
around them. In these cases, if the dwarf cannot (or
is asked not to) help, they will willingly leave, even
if it also pains the dwarf.
COSMIC DWARF TRAITS
You gain the following traits in addition to the traits
granted by your dwarf physiology.
Alignment. Most cosmic dwarves tend toward
good, attempting to fill their lives and the lives of
others with as much joy as they can.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score

Mind Meld. During a long rest, you can spend 1
hour mentally linking yourself to another willing
creature. This is an extremely intimate action, and
one not shared lightly. The process is much simpler
for other cosmic dwarves and can be completed
during a short rest in only 10 minutes. Linked
creatures, within 15 feet of cosmic dwarf, gain the
same effects of Emotional Rise reflected by your
current emotional state. However, if a melded
creature experiences a strong emotional response,
it can overwhelm your mind and spread to you. In
this case, each melded creature rolls a d20. If the
melded creature rolls higher to or equal to you,
your emotional state matches that of the melded
creature for the next hour. Work with the GM and
other linked players to determine when something
might trigger this reaction.
Sense Emotions. You can use an action to focus
on one creature within 15 feet and sense their
emotional state. Additionally, because many
around you can subtly detect your emotions, you
have disadvantage on Deception checks.
Emotional Rise. Emotions are not just
something a cosmic dwarf experiences, they are a
physical force that empowers the dwarf in many
ways. You gain advantage and disadvantage on
saving throws based on your emotional state at the
time. Though complex, most emotions have their
root in 6 basic types. If you are experiencing an
emotion that is a mix of multiple emotions, choose
the emotion that is largest within that mix.
Anger = Advantage on Strength, Disadvantage
on Wisdom
Disgust = Advantage on Intelligence,
Disadvantage on Strength
Fear = Advantage on Constitution, Disadvantage
on Dexterity
Happiness = Advantage on Charisma,
Disadvantage on Constitution
Sadness = Advantage on Wisdom, Disadvantage
on Charisma
Surprise = Advantage on Dexterity,
Disadvantage on Intelligence
Keep in mind that an emotional state is different
than an emotional reaction. While fighting a former
comrade, you may be surprised by a fireball they
hurl at you, but your emotional state is likely still
that of anger or sadness. You may be happy that
you were able to narrowly escape a dragon’s claws,
but fear or surprise during the fight are likely the
dominating emotions.
 PUNK ELVES
TWO AS ONE
Punk Elves are born, not as a single entity, but with
an intelligent symbiotic partnership already in
place. There is the elf, and there is their Ink. The Ink
is a semi-conscious lifeform that bonds with the
infant in the womb and shares traits of the parent’s
Ink. The two grow up together as one entity, aiding
each other in survival and living an interconnected
life. If the elf dies, the ink dies; if the ink dies, the
elf’s mind begins to degrade, eventually resulting in
a coma. The Ink also draws nourishment from
strong emotional responses and subtly encourages
the elf towards a life filled with a touch more
anarchy and rebellion.
Punk elves push against the sleek and sanitized
lives of other elves, craving harsher music, exciting
thrills, and living more recklessly their stuffy
cousins. They prefer to keep smaller families or
clans, finding large societies to be too full of rules
to be palatable. When they are pushed into large
cities, they have a habit of defacing property and
disrupting authority structures.
We, They
The Ink is so heavily linked to the elf that they refer
to themselves as “we” and use “they” when
speaking. The Ink morphs around their bodies,
weaving malleable tattoo tapestries that reflect
their past and current mood. Even moments after
birth, the Ink helps to translate the infant’s
thoughts and desires, though without the fidelity
years of growth and bonding allows them. If they
are in danger, the Ink will do everything it can to
signal for help or assist in the recovery of its
counterpart.
This does not mean that the Ink and elf are
always in agreement. Sometimes the Ink may rebel
and cause trouble for the elf by changing into any
manner of disruptive or antagonistic designs. Both
need each other for their continued survival
though, and so these acts of rebellion are either
short lived or only minor annoyances.
OTHER SPECIES
Punk elves have a reputation for being rabble
rousers and disruptive. Many authority figures tend
to keep a close eye on punk elves, which just leads
the elves to push harder into acts of rebellion.
Their garish fashion sense and tattoos help them
blend into most metropolitan structures and it’s
not often that average citizens give punk elves a
second look. Their reactions vary wildly when
51
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
dealing with each other as clashing ideals can
come forward quite quickly due to the
transparency of intent the Ink often exhibits.
PUNK ELF TRAITS
You gain the following traits in addition to the traits
granted by your elf physiology.
Alignment. The Elf and Ink are one being and
share a love of chaos. Good and evil are just two
sides of the same coin to them. The ink subsists off
strong emotional responses and so will encourage
the duo to a more chaotic lifestyle.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score
increases by 1.
Ink Magic. You know the Quick Mask cantrip and
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for it. Also, if
you can cast spells, choose one spell that you
know that requires somatic components. Once per
day the Ink can fulfill the somatic part of the spell.
Alternatively, you can both cast the spell together
and add +1 to the spell save DC or spell attack roll
once per day. You can choose an additional spell to
benefit from this feature at 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and
20th level.
Fearsome Tattoos. Once
per day, your Ink
can cover your body in
intimidating designs and
outline your naturally
impressive features,
making you appear more
fearsome and granting
you advantage on an
Intimidation check.
 GLITCHIMAR
Something has gone wrong. This power is not from
the heavens, nor from any celestial mountains.
This is something else entirely. Glitchimar are
either blessed by the stability of the Code or cursed
with the uncertainty of Seed’s corruption. Their
bodies are filled with this energy which, to the
untrained observer, may seem like radiance from
another plane. The glitchimar know their own
origins though and what terrible power they wield.
UNKNOWABLE DIFFERENCE
Glitchimar are indistinguishable from others like
them without close examination Their eyes have a
strange sheen to them, the iris filled with shifting,
multicolored static. Aside from this, they radiate
the same energy and presence as other blessed by
the heavens. Like those others, they prefer to keep
themselves hidden for fear of challengers or
accidental conflict. Since they are not linked to a
holy place, it is a personal choice whether or not to
expose themselves to face evil down.
BINARY POWER
The power that flows through a glitchimar comes
from one of two places: The Code or Seed. Either
one is sufficient to overcharge the glichimar’s body,
giving them access to powers similar to their holy
cousins and to add a few unique strengths as well.
They receive instructions and guidance from these
forces in ways that would be impossible to truly
explain to others. A strangely aligned collection of
tree branches, the sound of coins falling creating a
short message, the pattern of subtle pulls in a
magnet. For this reason, they will often lie about
their premonitions, claiming cloud shapes or a
message in a dream. This eclectic way of
messaging the glitchimar also has them constantly
vigilant for the next message, afraid they may miss
it or misinterpret a true coincidence for an
important message.
OTHER SPECIES
Glitchimar rarely have trouble with other species,
so long as they remain undiscovered. They face the
same pressures as their holy cousins and
explaining the differences to a common citizen is
usually a waste of time. The tendency for Seed
glitchimar to sew chaos makes more seasoned
people wary of them.
52
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
THE CODE
The Code comprises all things. It is the building
blocks of nature, the atoms of creation, the DNA
that programs or is programmed by life. By itself it
is only a force within the Retroverse, and it is only
through understanding its great power that one
can truly appreciate how tremendous it truly is. A
glitchimar empowered by the Code respects this
force and works to ensure the balance of it. The
Code rarely guides them directly but glitchimar
know where to find its subtle instructions. They
find themselves in constant conflict with
corruption and its mere presence causes the
glitchimar to feel ill. This ensures they continue
their work on expunging the usurpation of the
Code’s harmonious deign.
CODE TRAITS
You gain these traits in addition to the ones granted
to your blessed celestial kin.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score
increases by 1.
Ctrl-F. After you successfully hit a creature with
any type of attack, you can use a bonus action to
assess their reaction, choosing to gain knowledge
on either their damage vulnerabilities, resistances,
or immunities. While you can only choose one
category, you know all the damage types with that
category. You can use this feature a number of
times equal to your Intelligence modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a long rest.
Binary Wings. Starting at 3rd level, you can use
your action to call on the order of the Code,
sprouting black wings full of binary coding.
Your transformation lasts for a minute or until
you use a bonus action to end it. For that duration,
you have a flight speed equal to half your
movement, creatures with 1 layer of corruption or
more must succeed on a Constitution saving throw
(DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier) or have their movement reduced by half
until the end of their next turn, when they can
make the save again, ending the effect for the
duration on a success. In addition, creatures with
no corruption within 30 feet of you (including
yourself) can deal radiant damage equal to half
your level (rounded down) once on their turn
whenever they hit with an attack or spell.
You must finish a long rest before using this
feature again.
 SEED OF CORRUPTION
The unique nature of the Retroverse creates a
force called corruption. When enough of this force
collects in a single area, it becomes self-sustaining
and somewhat sentient, eventually culminating in
Seed. It desires only to grow, to spread, and to
eventually destroy the Code. Glitchimar infused
with the power of Seed tend towards anarchy,
reveling in the chaos their actions can bring. They
have some understanding of the near limitless
power of Seed, a thought that makes their own
lives feel insignificant by comparison. These
glitchimar, under the instructions of Seed, will do
whatever it takes to spread the most corruption
they can; be it as a lone warrior or by climbing
political ranks to become vicious leaders.
SEED TRAITS
You gain these traits in addition to the ones granted
to your blessed celestial kin.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score
increases by 1.
Glitch Through. While touching a surface, you
can use a bonus action to try
and force your way through it.
You can move through 3
feet of wood or dirt, 1 foot
of worked stone,
1 inch of metal,
or through a
paper-thin
sheet of lead.
53
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
You cannot move through magical barriers. You do
not need to know what is on the other side where
you are attempting to move. If you fail to move
through a barrier completely, you take 5 (1d8)
force damage times your level and are forced back
to where you started. You can use this feature a
number of times equal to your Constitution
modifier (minimum of once) before finishing a long
rest.
Missing Wings. Starting at 3rd level, you can use
your action to call on the power of Seed, sprouting
thin wings of roaming, glitched textures.
Your transformation lasts for a minute or until you
use a bonus action to end it. For that duration, you
have a flight speed equal to half your movement
and corruption saving throws made within 30 feet
of you are done so with disadvantage. In addition,
creatures with 1 or more layers corruption within
30 feet of you (including yourself) can deal
necrotic damage equal to half your level (rounded
down) once on their turn whenever they hit with an
attack or spell.
You must finish a long rest before using this
feature again.
 MECHA GNOMES UNIQUE AUGMENTATIONS
Depending on the augmentations a mecha gnome
BLENDED BIRTH has, whether from birth or more added later in life,
Mecha Gnomes in the Retroverse have become so they may live far longer or far shorter than other
blended with technology that they could not gnomes. Likewise, different clans may have
survive as a species without it. Only a few months different technological peaks, with some ascending
into pregnancy, the fetal body begins to shut down to lifelike cybernetics and others using gas or
while still developing and they must be placed into steam to power their bodies. Whatever the
mechanical axillary gestation tanks to complete technology, they all keep their cheerful disposition
their maturation. This typically results in any and thirst to learn more about themselves,
number of organs or body parts developing poorly mechanical engineering, and how it changes their
or not at all. To combat this, each new mecha perception of the world around them.
gnome is infused with technology that not only
replaces the errant part, it often improves upon
them drastically. Thus, almost all mecha gnomes
begin life at least partially augmented, some being
born more gizmo than gnome.
This intimate bonding of technology and flesh
gives the mecha gnomes a loving respect for
machinery. The word augmentation is even
frowned upon in their society. For them, these
mechanical parts are not something added on or
something to marvel at, they are simply part of
who the mecha gnome is. To a mecha gnome there
is no difference between the life of a robotic
construct, the life of a blood and machine hybrid,
or a fully flesh being.

THEREFORE, WE ARE
Mecha Gnomes struggle with the divisions other
species put between natural and artificial life, with
life and death, and what these concepts truly
mean. To them, death is simply a period
of inactivity, which can sometimes be
beyond their ability to repair. But an
animate machine and an average
human are equally “alive” to a mecha
gnome. Most moving constructs,
including simple toys, are considered to
be living beings by mecha gnomes, with
the only important factor being that of the
construct’s intelligence. It is not
uncommon for a mecha
gnome to create their own
friends and speak to
machinery as if it was a
close friend or family.

 ADVENTUROUS INNOVATION
Mecha gnomes are always on the lookout for new
ways to adapt their bodies and to improve the lives
of their kin. Many who adventure do so in hopes of
discovering new and interesting technology that
can help inspire more innovation for their kind.
Some favorite destinations include remote
research labs, abandoned warzones, and other
mecha gnome settlements. They are always
excited when they discover a new way to blend
magic and machinery and will often experiment
relentlessly to understand the concepts behind any
new idea.
OTHER SPECIES
Most other species get along well with mecha
gnomes, especially other gnomes. Mecha gnomes
tend to be a touch carefree with their
experimentations, often resulting in accidents that,
while rarely catastrophic, can often be disruptive.
This is seen as an annoyance to some more stuffy
species and so it is not often that you find mecha
gnomes living among elves or cerans. Wo’nari
however, greatly enjoy the voracious curiosity of
mecha gnomes and will often do whatever they
can to study with them or to employ them as
tutors or adventuring partners. Synthetic as well
often find friendship with the mecha gnomes,
feeling a kindred link to them and their melding of
organic and machine life.
MECHA GNOME TRAITS
You gain the following traits in addition to the traits
granted by your gnome physiology.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score
increases by 1.
Spark of Life. You can cast the spell Animate
Robots once per day as a 2nd level spell. This
increases to twice at 8th level and three times at
18th level. Additionally, you can cause the spell to
build the robot around you and then pilot it. If done
in this way, the robot only lasts for 1 minute, you
split the damage equally between the suit and
yourself, you take the size and shape of the robot,
and your Strength and Dexterity scores are
replaced by that of the robot for the duration.
Disassemble. You understand the weakest parts
of any mechanical design. If a construct is resistant
against bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage,
you can ignore those resistances with your attacks.
Mechanical Knowhow. You have advantage on
Investigation and Insight checks on machinery or
constructs.

ACTION HALFLINGS
THE NEW KIDS
Life in the Retroverse can be full of extremes,
death defying moments, and near constant action.
Most halflings find this constant action abhorrent,
while some have embraced it. Over time, halflings
that had a taste for thrills and adventure began
becoming hooked on the adrenaline kicks this
universe offered. This eventually spawned a new
breed, halflings that rejected their calm cousin’s
lifestyles and instead decided they needed more
action!
The styles of this more extreme lifestyle are
mirrored in their fashion. They often wear clothing
that matches their preferred type of extreme
hobby. Marauding armor, biker helmets and jackets,
parachute pants, or even total nudity are all
acceptable choices of attire for action halflings.
This makes action halflings easy to pick out among
their kin and can make for very awkward dinner
parties.
WILD AND FREE
The desire for excitement is not just a craving for
action halflings, it is a base need. They are born
with an innate craving for adrenaline and become
addicted to it quickly. This has changed most
aspects of their life, causing them to abandon the
safety of village communities in favor of daredevil
groups. Even traditionally reserved traditions, such
as weddings, have been changed to reflect their
new desires, with many weddings taking place
deep in a volcano dungeon or while skydiving. A
perfect action halfling funeral typically involves at
least one combat car race. Even meals have been
livened up, with a favorite being Second Battlefest,
a brutal sparring match right before noon.
 Their own safety is of little concern to them and Rough and Tumble. Any bludgeoning, piercing,
becomes less relevant the longer they have gone or slashing damage you take is reduced by a
without defying death. Eventually this addiction to number equal to your proficiency bonus (to a
adrenaline wanes and action halfling begin to minimum of 1).
mellow as the grow into old age, though the
craving is never completely extinguished. Action
halflings know this and so many set out as
adventurers as soon as they are able, hoping to
squeeze every last drop of excitement out of life
before they are too old or injured to do it any more.

OTHER SPECIES
Most species get along with halflings, though
action halflings can be a little too much for some
to handle. They rarely calm themselves and live
life on an edge that few others can walk. Action
halfling love making new friends but tend
to keep other species at a small distance
because few can withstand their
desire for such an extreme lifestyle. Many
of those who get close to an action halfling find
themselves in precarious situations that can leave
them seriously injured or even dead.

ACTION HALFLING TRAITS

You gain the following traits in addition to the
traits granted by your halfling physiology.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score
increases by 1.
Adrenaline Rush. When you are at half your
maximum health, your body goes into overdrive,
giving you +1 to damage rolls, saving throws,
ability checks based on Strength or Dexterity, +1 to
Dexterity based AC, and your movement speed is
increased by +5. When you are at a quarter
of your total hit points, these bonuses
are doubled. This effect activates
automatically once you hit the
hit point threshold and stays
active for 10 minutes. You can
gain the bonuses for hitting the
half or quarter threshold each
once per day. If you hit the
quarter threshold during
or before the half
threshold, both
usages are expended.

 HALF-ELF REPLICA
Crawling out from a long-abandoned pod, into a
world that has moved on or is no longer their own,
a half-elf replica is born. Replicas may come to life
as a large set or completely alone, depending on
how the Rending brought them to their new
location. They have little memory of the world they
were once a part of, only what instincts are
ingrained in their genetics and what basics their
model of pod may have taught them. They are
much like children, born fully capable in body but
lacking all understanding of what their life means.
THE VIRUS, THE RENDING
The H-Virus is a mild sickness for elf kind, resulting
in fever and nausea for a few days and
disappearing soon after. Other species are immune
to the disease and, despite the best elven minds
working on it, it has been deemed impossible to
eradicate. Though it is mild for most elves, half-
elves are not so lucky; the virus reacts terribly with
58
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
any change in the elven physiology and causes
rapid necrosis of internal organs. It can lie dormant
for years, while remaining contagious, and has
such impeccable timing that some theorize it may
be semi-intelligent. Whatever the case, it is a death
sentence for all half-elves who contract it.
This is where replicas come into the picture.
With no way to cure the virus, some societies
decided to circumvent the illness by creating an
artificial form of reincarnation. Once the virus had
been detected in a half-elf, several soulless clones
of them are created in a mix of magic and
mechanical ways. Before the death of the original
(or shortly after in some cases), the soul is
transferred to the new body. While this saves the
individual, it sets a dangerous precedent for the
permanence of death, making immortality
accessible on a nearly global scale.
Like all medical miracles, there are side effects;
such as a weakening of fey connections and the
potential for spirit explosions. The most severe of
these side effect, though, is the Rending. The
constant use of soul magic to cheat death not only
brings the ire of gods, it begins to wear on the
 magical forces that hold the universe together. This
starts as small tears in reality and many more
failed replica transferences. This, in turn, requires
the creation of more replicas and makes the
process more complex, riskier, and further
accelerates the Rending. The allure of immortality
and fear of the H-Virus is too great for many and
the ride into oblivion becomes impossible to avoid.
Eventually magic itself implodes, tearing worlds
apart and scattering them to other realities. The
replicas and their pods, being the initial focus and
protected by the bizarre magic that created them,
are one of the few things to survive such an event.
BLANK BIRTH
Replicas are created as empty vessels and remain
inert for centuries until a sudden spark inhabits
them. A bit of spirit energy, pulled into the vacuous
space left by the husk, mingles with the body and
breathes life into it. The long dormant replication
pod springs into action, assuming the soul
transference was successful, and releases the
fresh half-elf replica into its new world.
Most pods have the ability to imbue replicas
with basic knowledge, such as local customs and
language, in an attempt to smooth the soul
transference process for the original, intended half-
elf soul. This may include flashes of the original
half-elf’s life, if the pod was particularly
sophisticated, but even those have mostly
degraded in the generations it takes for stray life
energy to find a replica.
ENDLESS TWINS
Replicas are indistinguishable from other half-
elves (or other creatures in rare circumstances)
when considering their outward appearance alone.
What sets them apart initially is their fish-out-of-
water mentality and weak link to the fey realm.
Whatever little information or mannerisms they do
have may clash severely with the world around
them. However, after a few years within the world,
most replicas are well adjusted to their
environment and can pass unnoticed.
Until, that is, they come across another replica
based on the same original. They will look exactly
alike, often share similar personality traits, and
only differ in life experiences. There may be a
single replica on a planet or there may be
thousands, depending on how far advanced the
planet was before the Rending took hold. As jarring
as it is to wake up in an unknown world, meeting
your double can be even worse.
59
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
HALF-ELF REPLICA NAMES
All pods have some sort of identification mark on
them. Sometimes it is a name and series identifier,
sometimes it is just the pod serial number. This is
almost always the first thing the replica sees and
will often adopt it. These names rarely fit within
the world they reside as they were never intended
to be more than a designation.
Examples: Sandy 90120, Raph 86,753.09, Carrey
23, XXkarrot024, POD V
OTHER SPECIES
Few people in the world even know of replicas,
making their interactions no different than other
half-elves. The few that do know about it see it
mostly as a strange irregularity in the life cycle and
nothing more. Rarely, some warlords seek out
clusters of replica pods to activate them for their
own uses. These fresh minds are easily molded by
those of ill intent, boosting their ranks with soldier
that, while untrained, did not have to grow up or be
convinced which side to fight for.
REPLICA TRAITS
You gain the following traits instead of those
granted to you by your half-elf physiology.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score
increases by 2 and two other ability scores of your
choice increase by 1.
Age. You are considered mature and are
effectively around the age of 20, though your true
age could be many millennia.
Alignment. You may have some lingering ideals
from whatever pod programming you had, but
there is no set alignment for replicas. Choose
whichever suits you.
Size. Replicas are the same size as other half-
elves, ranging from 5-6 feet tall.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Soul Vision. Long dormant fey energy, mixed
with your unique spirit creation has altered your
vision, allowing you to see the souls of creatures
around you. As an action, you can concentrate on a
creature within 30 feet that you can see to discern
its general power level. This will let you know their
CR within a variance of 2. You can use this trait a
number of times equal to your Constitution
modifier (minimum of once) before finishing a long
rest. You also have darkvision out to 30 feet,
because of the weakened fey lineage.
 Pod Training. You gain proficiency in one skill,
weapon, tool, or game of your choice.
Unbound Soul. Due to your unique creation,
your soul is not directly tethered to your body or
any individual plane after death. If you die, you can
attempt to inhabit a creature’s body who has died
within the last 24 hours, whose CR is equal to or
less than your level, and who is not animated by
undead magic. The body must succeed on a
Charisma saving throw (DC = 8 + Your charisma
modifier + your proficiency bonus). If they succeed,
you cannot inhabit that body. If they fail, you
inhabit their body, keeping your alignment,
personality, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma
scores but assuming all the other abilities and
traits of the creature you inhabit and losing all of
your own. For each day you spend in a host body
this way, you lose 1 point of your original
Constitution, your soul dissolving into nothing if
you reach 0. If you can create a suitable
replacement, through magic or by finding an
empty half-elf replica, you can freely move your
soul into that new body, recovering all of your
abilities and stats, (so long as the new body can
accommodate them) though the loss in
Constitution remains and can only be recovered by
a wish spell. You can move from body to body as
much as you would like, so long as the body you
are in is killed and you do not spend more than 1
hour outside a body, as this will result in your soul
dissolving as well. You cannot inhabit the same
body twice.
Variant Species: While half-elves are the most
predominant replicas (because the H-Virus is only
deadly to them), there is little stopping other
creatures from being created in this way. If this is
the case, choose a species and replace one of their
traits with the Unbound Soul trait. Work with your
GM to determine which ability must be replaces.

HACK-ORCS
Hack-orcs have made a name for themselves by
bucking tradition and carving their own path with a
mixture of strength and smarts. They have been
“touched by the Code”, a process that is ill-
understood by most of the world. This is believed
to happen in the womb, though the Code has been
known to strike inspiration into adolescent half-
orcs in some rare cases. Why this change seems
only to happen for half-orcs and not other species
is also not fully understood. The prevailing theory
is that the Code is not giving the half-orc anything
new, it is releasing natural abilities inhibited by
nefarious outside forces. Some orc clans have
rituals that encourage this adaptation, though the
evil deities behind the subjugation of most orcs ban
these rituals as heresy.
Though their lives have been permanently
changed by the Code, they are not entirely sensitive
to it. Sometimes they gain glimpses into the true
makeup of the universe, but mostly they are no
more in touch with it than any other creature.
Given enough time and focus, they can see deeper
into the secrets of reality, but this is often just
small snippets and rarely offers more insight than
arcane studies can provide.
THE MARK OF THE NERD
Hack-orcs tend to have blue to pale grey skin, with
veins that appear far darker than their flesh. These
veins are angular, forming visible cross patterns
that resemble circuit boards. Some hack-orcs
tattoo dark lines to intersect their natural ones,
creating interesting patterns or pathways for
magic to travel. Because of their preference for
battles of brains over bloodshed, their bodies tend
to be slightly slimmer and less covered in scarring.
They stand slightly straighter because it is less
likely they have engaged in gruesome combat,
lacking many common injuries that would cause
them pain when moving. They also opt for sharp
clothing and meticulously maintained (if
sometimes unfashionable) hairstyles. They are
prone to mix form and fashion into a mashup that,
while stylish to themselves, can look quite peculiar
to others.
Hack-orcs also take pride in the way they are
perceived. Because of this, they try to extend their
vocabulary and understanding of local customs.
This can make them appear ridged and obnoxious
to those unfamiliar with the individual. Their high
regard for their own intellect can often put them at
odds with more casual crowds and can be seen as
 a challenge to scholarly instructors. The irony that
half-orcs are shunned for their brutality and hack-
orcs are shunned for their intellect is not lost on
them.
BRAINS OVER BRAWLS
Hack-orcs exposure to the Code early in
development has expanded their minds, working to
suppress the bloodlust other orcs have had
unwillingly impressed upon them. The connection
to evil deities through their blood has been quelled
to a point of non-existence, or sometimes severed
entirely. This has led to hack-orcs living a life more
of their choosing than something determined by
legacy. Many hack-orcs embrace this, rebuffing the
idea that tradition should dictate even a single
aspect of their existence.
This creates a large divide between themselves
and their human or orc clans; since they value their
individuality above most everything else and rarely
conform to the ideals of their parents. Hack-orcs
tend to be outcasts among outcasts and strike out
on their own very early in life. Thanks to their
hearty bodies and capable minds, hack-orcs can
sometimes become awesome adventurers well
before reaching adulthood. Trying to stop them
from this path is fruitless, their stubborn resolve
and youthful immaturity making it nearly
impossible for the young hack-orc to back down.
They enjoy planning and plotting, often
spending days going over the best route to victory
before acting. It is not uncommon for a hack-orc to
carry around many books that most others would
consider dry reading. They often have scrolls or
notebooks of their own that they have filled with
incomprehensible details of a plan. To many, the
hours spent working on a plan of action are more
exciting than the scant moments the plan takes to
execute.
OTHER SPECIES
Hack-orcs must fight against the same issues their
half-orc kin face. Their imposing bodies and
frightful orc lineage create a large divide they must
cross to win friends. Thankfully, their quirky
personalities and quick wit help to build bridges
quickly. Some cities and villages will even seek out
hack-orcs to clear out difficult dungeons,
participate in brainy competitions on their behalf,
or help establish recreational centers for the local
youth. Hack-orcs are often a huge boon to
whatever communities they choose to live in.

UNUSUAL BATTLEFIELDS
Most hack-orcs still harbor a desire for conflict and
victory, though this is often satisfied in less
physically violent ways. They find
themselves driven to competitions
of intellect and cunning, only
relying on their innate
strength if it serves their
strategic plans. This most
often manifests itself in
competitive games, such as
sports or chess, it being their
main source of conquest. If given a
chance, they will attempt to determine the
outcome of warring ideals through a
game, rather than decide the victor
through blood. They may also keep
score of small details along their
journeys, including things like number
of creatures slain, total value of
treasures collected, and a count of
lives saved.

 HACK-ORC TRAITS
You gain the following traits instead of the ones
granted to you by your half-orc physiology.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score
increases by 2 and your Strength score increases
by 1.
Age. Hack-orcs age the same as half-orcs but
can claim independence as early as age 10.
Alignment. Hack-orcs are a strange mishmash
of the chaos of their lineage and the order of the
Code. They tend towards lawful alignments though
some dip into chaos and embrace the corruption it
brings.
Size. Hack-orcs are more slender than half-orcs
but often stand taller, with the average being
between 6 and 7 feet tall. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Codevision. You can see in dim light up to 60
feet as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it
were dim light. Additionally, you can use a bonus
action to concentrate your vision once per day to
gain Truesight up to 10 feet for a single turn. In
both cases, you cannot discern color, only shades
of gray.
Combat Genius. You gain proficiency with one
martial weapon of your choice. Additionally, you
gain proficiency in the Insight skill.
Savage Spells. When you score a critical hit with
a spell attack, you can roll one of the spell’s
damage dice one additional time and add it to the
extra damage of the critical hit.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write
Common and Orc. Additionally, once per day, you
can cast the Comprehend Languages spell without
material components.

HUMAN OFFLINE
STOLEN ORIGIN
Far before your memories were solid, you were
taken by the Cyblight hive. You served in their
ranks, converting hundreds, your body being used
to aid in the slaughter of whole realms. There was
a constant droning, the collective mind overwriting
your own thoughts and forcing you deeper into the
collective. But now you are alone. Your body is your
own, your mind is singular, and your future is a
terrifying expanse of possibilities.
RECOVERED LIFE
Through some miraculous means you were
severed from the Cyblight horde and given another
chance at life. However, things have changed
drastically since you were collected, and you are
often out of your own element. You may have
spent a few decades as a drone or even a few
centuries. You may have been taken as an adult, as
a child, or even before you were born. Regardless
of your past, the hivemind blasts away all but the
most stubborn scraps of identity and you are likely
rebuilding your sense of self from scratch.
It is impossible for you to be fully separated
from some of the Cyblight components in your
body. The link to the Cyblight has been severed, but
the technology inside you still functions and assists
in keeping you alive. You can move, speak, think,
eat, and generally do most things humans are
capable of doing, though you may have some
restrictions based on parts lost or replaced by the
Cyblight. Additionally, you must spend a long rest
charging from some power source at least once a
week or gain a level of exhaustion. Most Cyblight
quickly cobble together a portable power source
based on their needs and offline can adapt their
bodies to take in many sources of energy with little
to no harm. Each offline has different power needs,
work with you GM to determine what that
threshold is.
ONE MIND
Possibly the most disturbing thing about your new
life is the silence in your own head. For an eternity,
you shared a consciousness with the entire
Cyblight hive, across space, dimensions, and even
time. Long dead Cyblight lived on within the sea of
voices and even new consciousnesses had their
own voice in the hive. And now, you don’t even
know what your own voice sounds like and it is still
somehow thunderous and silent at the same time.
 You are used to the hive speaking for you so
growing used to the silence will take time, caring,
and much effort.
Society and its complexities also confound you.
Some offline find solace in the noise of a roaring
crowd, while others find the intrusive voices
unbearable. The intermingling of many species is
nothing new to you, but simple mannerisms and
customs rely on strange logical rules and often
leave you baffled. How such communities could
exist without rigid order is one of the many
mysteries you will have to unravel in your quest to
becoming a singular being.
OTHER SPECIES
The Cyblight have a bad reputation, and the
remaining implants make it hard for others to trust
them. Species of expanded experience are usually
more understanding, though many have heard the
stories of Offline being reconnected
to the hive and the tragedy
that brings. In most places,
Offline are treated kindly
but always watched from
afar for any risky signs of
Cyblight reversion. Offline
typically avoid each
other as the r
eminder of the
Cyblight control

to handle.
HUMAN OFFLINE TRAITS
You gain these traits instead of the typical human
traits
Ability Score Increase. Your intelligence score
increases by 1 and your Constitution score
increases by 1.
Age. You are considered a mature adult in body
only. Your mind may range from elderly to juvenile.
Your body and implants will typically remain active
for a little over a century.
Alignment. Order is something that comes
naturally to you and you thrive in hard, regimented
systems.
Size. Your size is medium and ranged from 5 to
6 feet tall.
Speed. Your gait is slightly inhibited by your
implants. You base walking speed is 25.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write 4
languages of your choice. These languages are
imprinted in your mind from the Cyblight hive and
you speak most of them with a robotic clarity,
devoid of accents.
Adaptive Shield. When you finish a long rest,
you can choose to become resistant to a chosen
damage type caused by spells or effects. Choose
from the following types: acid, cold, fire, lightning,
or thunder. You can choose a different type each
time you finish a long rest.
Hive Knowledge. You can call upon the
information forced into your head by the Cyblight.
You gain advantage on an Intelligence saving throw
or an Intelligence based ability check of your
choice. You must finish a long rest before using this
feature again.

APOGEE
An elf woman, clad in a black longcoat, strides
through the battle field confidently. The retreating
foes hurl a fireball directly at her, she doesn't avoid
it. When the smoke clears, her hair isn't even
mussed. Panic besets the ranks of the opposing
team and they trample each other to flee from her.
The mage that cast the fireball feels his throat
tighten and watches his allies run from him. He is
lifted in the air by an invisible hand on his neck.
Turning to face the woman and her outstretched
arm; he watches her hand close slowly and his
world grows darker and darker.
A human deftly dodges the flurry of blows
coming towards his face. This opponent is tougher
than anything he has faced. Every attack on either
side is met with a block or parry. When he ended
this fight, he would have to end it quickly. Letting
his guard down for an instant, he trades one blow
to himself for another to his opponent. His attack
carried a charge though, and the opponent is
stopped for the tiniest instant. Just enough. Kicking
back, he teleports into the air, clasps his hands
around the building energy, and shouts. His
opponent looks to the blinding light gathering in
those hands. It's over. The beam is released, and
the foe stands up to accept their fate. Dignity, even
in total annihilation.
The wo’nari body lies motionless, complacent in
death. His spirit flows above, not complacent in
their fate. Around them his team begins to falter.
Outnumbered and overpowered, they are backed
into a circle around his body. He could do it, he
could come back, but the cost would be monstrous.
As the paladin falls to his knees, he makes his
decision. His spirit flames, consumed by the
unbridled power of the Code. Body and spirit
reconvene in a burst of energy that pushes back
the encroaching horde. They weren't out of the
woods yet but at least now they had a fighting
chance.
THE MALLEABILITY OF THE CODE
You are one of the few that has ever seen it, The
Code. It makes up the world around you, shapes
and molds it into purpose. You try to tell others,
but they will never understand. It is in all things
and it is all things. Unlike the others who have
merely witnessed the Code, you can command it,
alter it to your will. The Code is not set and with the
right force and understanding, you can change the
very world around you.
Because all things are equal to the Code, you have
67
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
forgone the need for weaponry and armor. You can
shape the force of your punches to match that of a
conventional weapon and alter your awareness to
deflect attacks. While these abilities come
“naturally”, hacking the code in more extreme ways
is much harder. The power to do something as
simple as bending a spoon takes years of practice,
rewriting the makeup of a creature is something on
an apogee of great strength can hope to
accomplish.
MEDITATION AND INFORMATION
When you first saw the Code, it was harrowing. The
seams between reality opened themselves to you
and the things you saw in between defy
explanation. You were told that this was just your
childish imagination, that all was well, not to dwell
on what you saw. For a time, you may have even
believed it was just in your head. But then it
happened again, and again.
As you grew older you dedicated yourself to
researching this strange phenomenon. Why were
you different? Were there others like you? How
could you open the seams yourself? How could
you change the Code?
Some like you have spent their life in isolation.
Searching old tomes in search of ancient
knowledge by half mad seers. Many find solace in
mind altering substance, denying their own senses
in order to hold on to their shredded life. Others
find themselves locked away. Espousing the truth
has put them in jackets and bars, raving to anyone
who will listen. A few rare individuals have found
power in the knowledge of the falsity of reality.
They seek nothing but to increase their abilities,
even knowing that the power they have isn’t
necessarily real either.
 68
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 POWERFUL PROPHECY
Because of the apogee’s abilities, they are often
tied to prophetic destiny. The average citizen has no
idea how you can do the things you do. Your
abilities can be mimicked by magic but you do not
fit within the confines of what magic they may be
exposed to. Additionally, apogees are incredibly
rare, as many who see the Code are quickly broken
by it. Whether the prophecies are true is debatable,
especially as you understand, or at least can
comprehend, the source of your powers. You are
different, that much is certain, but are you the
fabled chosen one, or are you just another fluke in
the world?
It is possible for many apogee’s to exists at a
given time, even having multiple within the same
area. Sometimes this lines up with the prophecy of
a team of heroes, or the destined battle between
two powerful warriors. It can be hard to tell how
much of your future is set in stone when the
69
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
prophecy is ascribed to you. Are you truly destined
to be the savior or destroyer of the world, or is the
collective belief in you enough to push you that
direction? Can you buck fate without falling into a
different one? Bending the Code grants you
incredible power but how much power do you truly
have if you must walk a path set before you by
someone else’s words? Are you in control of your
future?
MULTI RANGE CLASS
This class offers a large variety of options for most
users. The themes of fate, power, and will play
heavily into its background and abilities. Early
users may find great reward in playing a strong
class and advanced users will enjoy using the
variety of abilities to tackle most any situation.
CREATING AN APOGEE
When creating aa Apogee think about how this
knowledge of the true nature of the world has
affected your life. Did you learn about the Code
first through seeing visions of the true world, or did
you discover its existence in old tomes and then
seek it out? Do you accept the power that comes
with this knowledge? Do you fear what it means
about those whom you love? Do you grow distant
and wary of all others you see? Or do you revel in
the absurdity of it all and live your “life” to the
fullest?
Also consider how you found a way to change
the Code. Was it through natural intuition that you
began to understand and change the symbols?
Were you a unnaturally adept student, learning all
you could from deranged scholars? What mistakes
have you made when you first began? How much
did those mistakes cost you? What is your end goal
now that you can change the Code?
PRE-GEN CHARACTER
You can make an Apogee quickly by following
these suggestions. First, make Intelligence your

prowess you would never gain naturally. You
become deadly in unarmed combat, bending the
data around your blows to mimic the code behind
many weapons.
You gain the following benefits while you are
wearing no armor or light armor and are not using
a shield.
• You can use Intelligence instead of
Strength for the attack and damage rolls of
your unarmed strikes and mimicked
weapon. You do this by channeling The
Code to augment your attacks.
• You can choose one melee weapon you are
proficient with to mimic. Once on your turn,
when you make an unarmed strike, you can
cause your unarmed strike to do the exact
same damage amount and type, as if you
had attacked with that weapon. When you
reach 12th level, you can gain proficiency
with an additional melee weapon of your
choice and use it in the same way. You can
also use this ability twice on your turn
when making unarmed strikes. All other
unarmed strikes deal a set amount of
bludgeoning damage which increases as
you gain apogee levels, as shown in the
Hack-Fu column of the Apogee table.
Alternatively, you can keep the damage
type of a weapon but replace the damage
dealt by that of your unarmed strikes.
• When you use the Attack action to make an
unarmed strike, you can use your bonus
action to cause an Afterimage of you to
appear, making an unarmed strike against
the same target. This can only be used to
repeat an unarmed strike and not spell
attacks or attacks augmented with spells
or effects, such as a Smite spell, or with
non-apogee features, such as Sneak Attack.
If doing an attack that required the use of
Hack points, you must use additional Hack
points for the Afterimage equal to the
original attack or this effect simply fails.
71
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
HACK
Starting at 1st level, your ability to see beyond
allows you to alter The Code of the universe.
Changing the fabric of reality around you is
exhausting for both body and mind, for this reason
your ability to alter the world in any meaningful
way is represented in Hack points. Your Apogee
level determines the number of points you have, as
shown in the Hack points column of the Apogee
table. You are considered proficient with all attacks
that require the use of Hack points.
You can spend these points to use various Hack
features.
When you spend a Hack Point, it is unavailable
until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of
which you have regained enough mental acuity to
recover all expended Hack points. You must spend
at least 30 minutes intently watching the world
during your rest to regain you Hack points.
Some of your Hack features require your target to
make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects.
The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Hack save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
BINARY BOONS
At 2nd level, you gain a small set of powers that you
can use Hack Points to activate.
HIGHER CONTRAST
If you use the Afterimage Hack-Fu ability and the
second attack hits, you can use 1 Hack point and
your reaction to make the same attack one
additional time.
CODE BLAST
As an attack you can spend 1 Hack point to call
together energy from the air into your palm and
project it forward at a rapid velocity. You are
proficient with this ranged attack with a range of
30/60. On a hit, this blast does 1d6 radiant damage.
At 6th level this increases to 2d6 and 40/80. At 12 th

of your choice by 1. Alternatively, you can gain one
feat. You cannot increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.

EXTRA ATTACK
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead
of once, whenever you take the Attack action on
your turn.

FUDGE REALITY
At 6th level you have the ability to change one
small detail in the world around you. The cards in a
game of chance, the contents of a water skin, a
silver piece into gold. By spending 1 Hack Point you
can roll a d4 with the number determining the level
of your success. 1 means nothing has changed at
all. 2 means a minor change has happened but not
exactly what you had intended. 3 means that a
positive and meaningful change has occurred,
though the details may not be exactly what you
intended. 4 or more means that the exact thing you

 CODENESIS
At 10th level you can manipulate much of the world
around you without seeming to touch it. Using 2
hack points, you can use your action to cast the
spell Telekinesis without components, with
Intelligence as your spellcasting ability. The spell
ends at the start of your next turn, unless you use
2 additional Hack points to continue its effects;
otherwise it follows the same rules as a
concentration spell. You can maintain this effect for
up to 1 minute, so long as you have enough
remaining Hack points to do so. You can use an
additional Hack point to increase your spellcasting
ability for this effect by 1 for each Hack point used
(maximum of 5).
EX-MACHINA
At 13th level you can force your influence upon the
world around you. As an action, you can spend 4
Hack points to bring one helpful boon to yourself
or party. This could be a healing potion rolling to
your feet, a large precarious rock falling on your
opponent, finding a patch of water in a desert, a
spell backfiring or becoming more powerful,
anything that is useful. The effect is immediate
though it may not always be immediately
apparent. The full extent of this feature and its
effects is up to the GM, but it will always be helpful
to you or your immediate party. This effect can
only be used once before finishing a short or long
rest. At 18th level you can use this feature twice
before finishing a long rest.
THIS ISN'T REAL
At 14th level you have become so attuned to The
Code that you can negate its influence on you. If
targeted by an attack, effect, or spell, you can use 6
Hack Points and your reaction to completely ignore
it. Even if it hits, you receive no damage, take no
effects, and cannot be moved by it. You must finish
a long rest before this ability can be used again. At
20th level you can use this feature three times
before finishing a long rest.
PHOENIX REBOOT
At 17th level death loosens its grip on you. If you fail
three death saving throws you can immediately
burn 3 Hack Point slots, permanently, to bring
yourself back to life. You regain life as if you had
just taken a long rest. When you rise from the dead
you are surrounded in a powerful aura that
explodes out from you. All creatures of your choice
within 15 feet of you must make a Constitution
73
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
saving throw. On a failed save, all hostile creatures
within the area take 6d12 force damage and are
pushed back 15 feet. On a successful save they take
half that damage and are not pushed. You do not
have to have 3 Hack points available to use this as
this ability sacrifices 3 Hack points from your max
total possible. If you do not have 3 Hack Point slots
you cannot use this feature.
Additionally, your Constitution score decreases
by 1. If your Constitution bonus decreases because
of this you must adjust your new Hit Point
maximum. You must finish a long rest before you
can use this feature again.
ONE WITH THE CODE
At 18th level, at the start of your turn, if you have no
Hack points you can use a bonus action to roll a d6,
regaining Hack Points equal to the roll. At 20th level
the this is changed to a d8.
RISEN
As soon as you saw the Code, you knew you were
destined for something great. After some
adjustments, you have embraced your powers fully
and use them freely. Like the name implies, you
have risen above those around you and now stand
as above other creatures. While some look up to
you, seeing you as the savior foretold, others
consider your mere presence an abomination, a
portent of the end. Your powers are varied, giving
you an edge in most situations; how you change
the world with these abilities, for better or worse, it
up to you.
FATE BUMP
When this fate chooses you at 1st level, you gain the
ability to nudge fate to a direction of your choosing.
When you or a creature within 30 feet of you rolls
an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, you
can use 1 hack point to add or subtract 1 from the
roll. You can do this after the roll but before you
know the result. You cannot cause critical
successes or failures this way.
FLY
At 3rd level, you can control gravity around you well
enough to move your body in a way that resembles
flying. You can spend 1 hack point as part of your
movement to fly up to your movement speed,
including if you take the dash action. You begin to
fall at the start of your next turn unless you use
another Hack Point. You can remain airborne as
long as you have Hack Points to spend.
 MEGA PUNCH
Starting at 7th level, you can spend 2 Hack points to
charge and release a terrible blow. Whenever you
make an unarmed strike, choose one of the
following effects to happen on a hit:
• Roll a single damage die again and add it to
the total damage. If your attack had
multiple damage dice types, used the
largest one.
• The target must succeed on a Strength
saving throw or be pushed back 15 feet.
• A blinding flash emanates from your fist
and the target must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or be blinded
until the start of their next turn.
• The target must succeed on a Constitution
saving throw or have their code disrupted,
causing them to be paralyzed until the
start of their next turn. Creatures with
corruption make this save with
disadvantage.
• The attack is a critical hit on a 19 or 20.
1 minute. On a success, the target takes 2d10
additional force damage and only the next
damaging spell it casts within the next minute is
affected by the damage reduction. You can use this
feature once before finishing a long rest.
FULL INTEGRATION
At 20th level, you have become so enmeshed with
the code that you can bend the world to your will.
Choose a single spell of every level, the chosen
spells are set and cannot be changed after
choosing them. By spending Hack Points equal to 2
times the level of the spell, you can cast any of
these chosen spells. Intelligence is your
spellcasting ability and your save DC is the same as
your Hack save DC. You can spend up to 30 Hack
Points total on this ability, and cannot cast the
same spell twice, before finishing a long rest.

BULLET TIME
Starting at 11th level, you can use your reaction to
reduce the damage you take from a ranged attack
by half. Alternatively, you can spend 1 Hack Point to
stop the missile before it reaches you.
You then have the option to send it
back at the opponent who shot it. Make
a ranged attack roll, as if you were proficient and
made the attack. You can only use this feature on
the creature who targeted you with the initial
ranged attack. The missile deflected can be no
larger than a standard arrow or energy bolt. If a
creature makes multiple ranged attacks against
you on the same turn, and you have already used
your reaction against one of their ranged attack,
you continue to reduce the damage of each ranged
attack or try and send the attack back, choosing
either option for each consecutive attack, until the
start of your next turn.

CODE SUPPRESSION
At 15th level you can target the source of a
creature’s power and inhibit the flow of magic
through their body. When you hit a creature with
an unarmed strike, you can use your bonus action
and spend 4 Hack points to strike at their magical
flows as well. The creature must make a Wisdom
saving throw, taking 4d10 additional force damage
on a failed save and any damaging spells the
target casts have their damage reduced by half for

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)

FATELESS
You were not some blessed creature, you found
the code through resolve and sweat. You have
toned your body and mind to work in direct
opposition to the Code, allowing you to feel, claw,
and bend it to your will. Unlike others who easily
fill the role of some prophecy, you have trained for
every new ability, ripping the prophecy away from
the hands of others by forcefully filling them
yourself. This has left you with many rivals, some
of which believe your usurpation to be a
transgression worthy of death. The future of the
fateless is frequently fraught with foes and fighting
as you fulfill the prophecy by force.
UNRIVALED RESOLVE
When you demand this fate at 1st level, you can
shrug off most effects that would stop others in
their tracks. If a spell or effect requires you to
make a saving throw to resist being blinded,
deafened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, or
stunned, you can spend 1 hack point to roll a d4,
adding the result to your roll. This feature can be
used against a spell or effect that deals damage
and causes an effect, but the bonus is only applied
to resist the effect. At 11th level in this class the dice
increases to a d6, and again to a d8 at 20th level.
WARP HOP
At 3rd level you can briefly slip in and out of reality,
moving instantly from one place to another. You
can spend 1 Hack Point to teleport to an unoccupied
space up to 30 feet in any direction as your move
action. If you land on a vertical surface, you can
hang there until the start of your next turn. When
you get the Warp Jump ability, you can use this
ability to change the maximum range to 90 feet.
COMBO BONUS
At 7th level you can compound the energy of your
attacks from the power of the last one. Each time
you make a successful melee attack against a
target you can use 1 hack point to take some of
that force, causing your next melee attack to deal
an additional 1d4 damage. You can use an
additional Hack Point on each consecutive
successful attack on this turn to add another d4 to
the total damage (to a maximum of 5d4). The
bonus resets at the start of your next turn or if you
miss on an attack roll.
75
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
WHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU
At 11th level you become more powerful each time
you face defeat. Each time you fail a death saving
throw, you gain a cumulative +1 to damage rolls,
proficient ability checks, and proficient saving
throws until you finish a long rest. The maximum
possible bonus is equal to your proficiency score.
ULTRA FORM
At 15th level, you have mastered the control over
you own code enough to enter an enhanced form
of yourself. At the start of your turn you can let out
a reality shattering roar, you are then overcharged
with Code energy. Until the feature ends, you have
an unlimited amount of Hack Points, your
movement speed is doubled, and can make three
attacks, instead of two, when you take the attack
action. After activating this feature, you can stay in
this form a number of turns equal to your
Intelligence modifier (minimum of one) but cannot
enter it again if it ends. This effect ends if you drop
to 0 hit points or if you choose not to continue it
with a shout at the start of your next turn. You can
only activate this feature once before finishing a
long rest. If you drop to 0 hit points while using this
feature, you immediately fail one death saving
throw and make any more saving throws with
disadvantage until you finish a long rest.
Additionally, you gain one level of exhaustion when
this feature ends.
PERMANENT UPGRADE
At 20th level, you have finished the loop of bending
your body to bend the code to bend your body
again. Three of your ability scores of your choice
increase by 2 and the new maximum for those
scores is 22. You also gain proficiency in two
additional saving throws of your choice.
SHATTERED
Before you even began your journey with the Code,
you already failed. Whatever fate you were
supposed to fill, you destroyed it so badly that the
worst outcome, or even a complete reversal of the
prophecy, has become your life. You are met with
ire by those who looked towards you in their
greatest time of need and witnessed you fall.
Sometimes your own foolish actions led to this
end, other times it was the machinations of others.
Regardless, your fate, and the destiny of others,
has been destroyed. Your powers reflect this,
serving as an easily visible reminder of the
perversion you have wrought.
 MIND TRICK
When you fall to this fate at 1st level, your power
can be used to twist the minds of others around
you. Whenever you make a Charisma based ability
check, you can use Hack Points to add a bonus to
the roll equal to the number of Hack Points used
(maximum of +5). You can use this ability after
making the roll but before the outcome is
determined.
FAILING FORWARD
At 3rd level, you grow more powerful the more you
fail and the more difficult your situation. If you roll
a 1 on an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw,
you can use a Hack Point to gain advantage the
next time you make the same kind of roll. The
advantage disappears if you do not use it before
the end of your next turn.
If you are forced to make any ability check,
attack roll, or saving throw with disadvantage, you
can use Hack Points to add +1 bonus to the roll
equal to the number of Hack Points used
(maximum of +3) to the total of the lowest roll.
You still use the lowest dice, even if the additional
points cause it to be higher than the other dice.
VIRAL ATTACK
At 7th level you gain the ability to infect other
creature’s code with malicious code of your own.
When you hit a creature with an attack, you can
use 2 hack points to infect them. At the end of your
turn, they take damage equal to one of your
unarmed strikes. You can maintain this infection by
spending 2 additional hack points on your
subsequent turns, dealing damage to them at the
end of each of your turns so long as the infection is
maintained. You can use this feature to infect
multiple creatures simultaneously, with each one
requiring their own Hack Points to infect and
maintain. Corrupted creatures only require 1 Hack
Point to infect and maintain.
LIMIT BREAKER
Starting at 15th level you have the ability to push
your body beyond its designed specifications.
When you use the Higher Contrast feature, you can
spend an additional 5 Hack points to make one
more attack. Using this feature gains you one level
of exhaustion per use. You can use this feature as
many times as you want on your turn, as long as
you have 5 more Hack points to spend per attack. If
you reach six levels of exhaustion, while using this
feature, your body and spirit become destabilized
and you die instantly after the last blow. Your body
fizzles away but the spirit remains on this plane for
a number of days equal to your Constitution
modifier (minimum of one).
For example, if you are suffering four tiers of
exhaustion from a previous effect and then use this
feature twice, you die after the second Limit
Breaker attack finishes. The total attacks that turn
could be up to five.
STOLEN FATE
At 20th level you can rip the energy of others away
from them upon death. When you make an attack
that drops a creature to 0 hit points, you can use
your reaction to steal the energy of their potential
futures for yourself. You regain one level of
exhaustion, 2d4 hack points, and recover hit points
equal to two of their hit dice. You can use this
feature a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (minimum of once) before
finishing a long rest.

BRUTALNESIS
At 11th level you can use your mind to crush those
who oppose you. When you are using the
Codenesis ability on a creature, they take 2d8 force
damage each time they fail the Strength contest.
At 15th level in this class, you can target two
creatures or objects with Codenesis
simultaneously, and three creatures or objects
once you reach 20th level. Each additional creature
or object costs 1 Hack point per creature to use the
effect on and to maintain it.

 A CURE FOR CORRUPTION
De-fraggers are among the few who can actually
fight against the source of corruption. Many people
can fight off a data-rotted corpse, but few can
expunge that rot from the corpse's body. Because
of this, they are in high demand among Retroverse
adventuring parties and communities alike. None
stay in one place for very long. Once the corruption
has been expunged from that area, they are driven
to seek out need elsewhere. Only their unbending
convictions or patron god is a constant, and even
then, de-fraggers have been known to abandon the
gods if they find evidence of corruption within their
power. Their unending quest to bring order to the
world leads them on many adventures and is
almost always their final undoing. There are scant
tales of a de-fragger enjoying a long retirement.
A de-fragger is a frightful thing to behold in a
battle. They are a terrible storm against any
opposition, leaving foes broken underfoot. Troops
rally behind them, adventuring parties lean on their
strength, and children read stories of their deeds.
Few dare to stand against them, but those who can
are dangerous beings indeed.
CREATING A DE-FRAGGER
De-fraggers have one goal in life, to eradicate any
corruption within the world. Literal or figurative,
they are drawn to it like moths to a flame. This
need will eventually consume them, but they will
burn brilliantly in their quest for wiping the world
clean. When creating your de-fragger think about
how and why you desire to keep the corruption at
bay. Did you lose your family to a ravenous beast,
one that shouldn’t have even existed? Did you see
the exploits of other de-fraggers and wish to
become like them? Were you called upon by a
long-forgotten god to strike out on an obscure
journey? Did you grow tired of seeing good men
stand by and do nothing, deciding to take matters
into your own hands? Were you trained by an aged
de-fragger, assigning their unfinished business to
you?
Now that you have chosen this life, what
struggles have you faced? Do people run from you,
fearful of your strength? Have you found fame
within your deeds? If so, how does that affect your
ability to truly protect? Does the thought of a
normal life nag at the back of your mind? Are you
good at stamping out erroneous aberrations, or do
you struggle with even the simplest monsters?
What have you been unable to leave behind?
Because of their devotion to eradicating chaos,
de-fraggers are rarely of chaotic alignment. Most
are lawful in some regard as many find it
unthinkable to tolerate even a small amount of
corruption. Keep in mind how your alignment
influences the way you see the world and those
around you. Also consider how others view you and
your unbending convictions. Do these standards
come from within or are they at the decree of your
deity?
This all begins to change if you create a virus de-
fragger as your lifestyle goes against the symbol
of righteousness that other de-fraggers fight so
hard to maintain. What would drive you to such a
decision?
BALANCE IN ALL THINGS
Users playing this class are often those who seek
out leadership positions. They should have the
ability to support and embolden their team
members. A selfless attitude will go a long way in
ensuring you can play this class to its full effect.
New Users may find comfort in the balance of this
class. Experienced Users will be able to use this
class to carry their team through challenges that
would be impossible without them.
PRE-GEN CHARACTER
You can make a de-fragger quickly by following
these suggestions. First, Constitution should be
your highest ability score, followed by Wisdom.
Second, choose the Mercenary background. When a
skill refers to corruption it is speaking of the literal
game mechanic, not to the figurative corruption
that lies within one’s soul, though the latter kind is
insufferable to a de-fragger as well.

Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition
to the equipment granted by your background:
• a martial weapon and a shield.
• (a) a Great Shield or (b) four short swords
• (a) a priest’s pack or (b) an explorer's pack
• Ring mail and a De-Frag Icon
SENSE DEGRADATION
Your oath to stamping out decay has made you
acutely aware to corruption within creatures. If you
are within 60 feet of a creature, you can sense
their corruption if it is 3 layers or higher. At 6 th level
you can detect if a creature within 60 feet is
suffering from 2 layers or more of corruption. At
12th level you can detect if a creature within 60 feet
is suffering from 1 layer of corruption or more. You
do not know exactly how many layers they have,
just that they have enough to trigger your senses.

79
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 ARRAY OF HANDS
One unique trait of a de-fragger is an additional set
of arms. Decide how you received your extra arms
and what they look like. You could have acquired
yours from your god, spiritual arms that sprout
from your back when needed. Maybe you designed
a robotic set that spring to life at your call. You
could have come into contact with some unstable
magic, giving you control over the new gorilla arms
hanging on your form. The exact style and origin of
your extra arms is up to you.
Controlling and “activating” these arms is
extremely taxing on your body and mind. For this
reason, de-fraggers only use them when they have
to. When you activate them, by using a bonus
action, you can control them just as well as your
normal arms. You can only sustain their energy for
a number of turns equal to your proficiency bonus
before you finish a short or long rest. You must
decide at the beginning of your turn, while they are
active and before you take any actions, to continue
using this feature or to deactivate it. If you end the
feature before you have reached a number of
rounds equal to your proficiency bonus, you may
use the remaining rounds later, before taking a
short or long rest. The mental and physical focus
required to keep these arms active and useful is so
great that you may not use any features from
other classes (such as if you are multi-classed)
while they are active.
While they are active you gain the multi-attack
option and can use each arm to attack,; suffering
no penalty from dual-wielding or quad-wielding.
Depending on what is in each hand determines how
you attack within that round.
For example, while this feature is in use, if you
are wielding 4 short swords (or some other one-
handed weapon) you may attack 4 times that turn,
once with each arm, adding your modifier to the
damage of each attack. If you have one shield, one
one-handed weapon, and one-two handed weapon,
you gain +2 to your AC, can strike once with the
two-handed weapon and strike once with the one-
handed weapon.

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
CURE CORRUPTION
By 2nd level you have found another way to restore
the broken creatures you encounter in the world. If
a creature has a layer of corruption, you may use
an action to touch them and spend 20 of your own
hit points to try and fix their erroneous framework.
For every 20 hit point you sink into the creature,
you erase one level of corruption. If you heal a
creature one or more layers of corruption, and
they are still corrupted, you instantly learn how
many layers they have remaining. If you are
reduced to 0 hit points this way, you are considered
stable but unconscious. If you are reduced to 0 hit
points and the corruption is not completely cured,
it is instead cured 1 layer for every 20 hit points
you expended before reaching 0 hit points. You can
use this feature on yourself for the same hit point
cost.
Doing this against an unwilling creature requires
you to make an unarmed attack against the
creature. If you succeed on the attack, you can cure
only one layer per turn unless you are able to
maintain the connection, such as if the target is
restrained or paralyzed. Curing a corrupted
creature does not mean it will no longer be hostile,
simply that it has been restored to normal.
For example, a corrupted dragon is attacking
your party. It is suffering from 5 levels of
corruption. You use this ability to try and cure all of
it and are instantly drained of 100 hit points, curing
the creature. It is still hostile to the party and
continues to attack but is no longer corrupted and
does not suffer or benefit from any corruption
effects, nor does it spread corruption with its
attacks.
SPELLCASTING
By 2nd level, you have learned to draw from your
reinforced faith and usher forth magic from the
divine might of your god or inner flame. You
channel this energy through your de-frag Icon and
expel it with same force of a cleric or paladin.
PREPARING AND CASTING SPELLS
The de-fragger table shows how many spell slots
you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher.
To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot
of the spell's level or higher. You regain all
expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of de-fragger spells that are
available for you to cast, choosing from the de-
fragger spell list. When you do so, choose a
number of de-fragger spells equal to your Wisdom
modifier + half your de-fragger level, rounded
 down (minimum of 1 spell). The spells must be of a
level for which you have spells slots. Casting a
spell does not remove it from your list of prepared
spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells
when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of
de-fragger spells requires time spent in
communion with your patron and/or meditating to
re-center your hardened ideals. You must do this
for at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell
on your list.
SPELLCASTING ABILITY
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for de-fragger
spells because your magic comes from your own
inner mental fortitude or reliance on faith. You use
your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your
spellcasting ability. You also use your Wisdom
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a
de-fragger spell you cast and when making an
attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier
SPELLCASTING FOCUS
You can use your de-frag icon as a spellcasting
focus for your De-Fragger spells.
COMPILER TYPE
When you reach 3rd level, your ideals have
crystalized into a driving force and determined
your path as a de-fragger. Different de-fraggers are
separated into groups called Compilers. The type of
Compilers are: Vaccine, Data, and Virus. Your
Compiler type is greatly influenced by how you
handle corruption and should reflect your views on
it.
Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and
again at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level.
POWER UP
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th,16th,
and 19th you can increase one ability score of your
choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores
of your choice by 1. Alternatively, you can gain one
feat. You cannot increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.

INCORRUPTIBLE
By 4th level you have become resistant to the
effects of corruption. You have advantage on
corruption saving throws. You can use this feature
a number of times equal to your Constitution
modifier before finishing a long rest.
By 9th level you are nearly immune to
corruption, except in extremely overwhelming
cases. You always have advantage on corruption
saving throws and have advantage on saving
throws against the spells and effects of corrupted
creatures.
By 15th level you are no longer bothered by
average corruption and can only be harmed by
extreme corruption at the GM's discretion. You
automatically succeed on corruption saving
throws, have advantage on saving throws against
the spells and effects of corrupted creatures, and
take half damage from attacks made by corrupted
creatures. If a corrupted creature hits you with a
spell or effect that requires a saving throw, you
take half damage on a failed save and no damage
on a successful one.
STALWART SHIELD
At 5th level you can summon a barrier to protect
yourself and those close to you. Using an action,
you spread two of your arms wide and summon a
sphere shield with a 10-foot diameter around
yourself. Your movement speed is reduced to 0
and you must concentrate as if you were casting a
spell, it also requires two of your arms to be
occupied to keep the shield's integrity. If two non-
hostile creatures, of medium size or smaller, are
within 5 feet of you when this feature is used, they
can choose to be inside the sphere with you. If
there are more than two non-hostile creatures
then all but two are pushed out, you decide which
two remain. If a hostile creature is within 5 feet of
you, they must succeed on a Dexterity saving
throw versus your spell save DC or be pushed out
to the nearest unoccupied space, otherwise they
are trapped in the sphere with you. The shield can
be maintained a number of rounds equal to your
Constitution modifier (minimum of one) and
disappears after that.
The sphere has hit points equal to your
maximum hit points, an AC of 10, cannot move, and
automatically fails any saving throws. Nothing can
pass through, in or out, even creatures on the
ethereal or astral plane. The sphere is not
considered magical and is not subject to any anti-
magic spells or effect. Once the shield drops to 0
 hit points, it shatters. Any excess damage from the
attack that destroyed the shield, is transferred to
you, without saving throws, even if the attack had
an area of effect.
You can use this feature once before finishing a
long rest. Creatures inside the shield have full
cover and creatures behind it have half cover. Once
you reach 15th level in this class, this feature can be
used as an action or bonus action.
DEFENSE EXPERT
When you reach 7th level, you have begun to truly
understand your role as a protector. You have the
ability to wield two shields at a single time. One
shield grants its normal AC bonus, while the other
is considered your offhand shield and can be used
for the following actions:
• You can use a reaction to gain the shield’s
AC bonus or to give the AC bonus to an ally
within 5 feet of you.
• You can use the shield as a weapon. You
are proficient with it and it deals 1d6 + your
Strength modifier bludgeoning damage on
a hit.

changed your spirit, they have changed your body.
Your incredibly stable form grants you advantage
on Constitution saving throws and doubles the hit
point increase you receive from your Constitution
bonus from this level onwards. When you receive
this feature, you do not gain the bonus to your hit
points for each level under 11, only for levels 11 and
above in this class.
FLASHBACK
At 13th level your Stalwart Shield has become so
strong that it can knock attacks back at opponents.
If a creature makes a melee weapon attack against
your Stalwart Shield, they must make a Dexterity
saving throw against your spell save DC or take
damage equal to half the damage they dealt to
your shield. Your shield still takes full damage
regardless of if they fail the save or not.
ASSEMBLED MAGIC
At 17th level you have been able to heal the Code in
such a way that you are granted an additional spell
of 6th level from the de-fragger spell list. This
bonus slot cannot be used to cast a lower level
spell. Once you finish a long rest, you can prepare a
new spell for this bonus slot.
EMPOWERING SHOUT
At 17th level, as a bonus action, you bellow a war cry
or words of encouragement to you allies. Any allies
that can hear you within 30 feet gain advantage on
all saving throws, until the end of their turn. You
can use this feature once before finishing a short
or long rest.

you are reduced to 0 hit points but are not

DATA COMPILER
Being a data compiler is a rare feat. The balance
between corruption and the Code is such that few
people can walk that uneven tightrope. Those that
can often find unique abilities in the mixing of their
powers. Instead of being the front-facing champion,
they use their understandings to subtly manipulate
the world around them. Wielding Code and
corruption in tandem gives them amazing
versatility in battle but keeps them from reaching
the heights of vaccine or virus compilers.
Their regalia often matches the balance they
endeavor to achieve. It is not so garish as the other
compilers and instead focuses on muted and
subtle mixings of both styles.
BURN CORRUPTED
At 3rd level you can channel your balanced energy
into your de-frag icon, blasting corrupted creatures
around with harmful energy. As an action, you
present you de-frag icon and recite a command
line designed to dismantle to corrupted creatures.

creature

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
succeeds on the saving throw, they are immune to
the effects of this feature for 24 hours. You can
continue to use this feature a number of turns
equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of
one), forcing a Wisdom saving throw on the start
of your turn, against all corrupted creatures within
the affected area. The command line you utter can
be tweaked to only affect corrupted creatures you
wish to affect.
C-FRAG STRIKE
Starting at 3rd level, when you hit a creature with a
melee attack, you can expend 5 of your own hit
points to cause a small explosion of force damage
against the target, in addition to the melee attack's
damage. The extra damage is 1d6 force damage for
5 hit points, plus 1d6 for another set of 5 hit points,
to a maximum of 5d6. Additionally, any enemy
creatures within 5 feet of the target must succeed
on a Dexterity saving throw or take force damage
equal to half the damage dealt to the primary
target (rounded down). Corrupted creatures have
disadvantage on this saving throw. You draw this
power from your own body and cannot use
temporary hit points to activate it.
For example, a 10th level De-Fragger makes a
melee attack with a short sword against a
triceratops. The De-Fragger uses 20 hit points so
the attack does the normal attack damage plus
4d6 force damage and the two velociraptors next

 UNZIP
When you reach 6th level, you’ve found a way to
bend corruption and code together unlock greater
potential within your spells. Whenever you roll
damage or healing dice on a spell and roll a 1 or a
2, you can reroll the damage die and must use the
new roll, even if it is a 1 or 2. This does not affect
spells that do not directly damage or heal a target.
FORMAT
When you reach 6th level, your Stalwart Shield
becomes more self-sufficient, making it moveable
and require less active maintenance. While the
shield is active, your movement speed is changed
to 15 feet or your maximum possible, whichever is
lower, and only requires the use of one of your
hands to stay active. You can only move the shield
into unoccupied spaces and cannot use it to push
creatures or objects. The movement speed
increases by an additional 5 feet at 10th level, and
again at 14th and 18th level.
86
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
REWRITE
At 10th level, you have learned to subtly manipulate
the code that comprises those around you. After
you finish a long rest, roll a d20 and record the
number. Whenever a creature you can see, other
than yourself, makes an attack roll, saving throw,
or ability check, you can use a reaction to swap
your recorded number with theirs. You can use this
ability after learning the roll number but before the
GM describes its effects.
After you have swapped a roll, you can then use
the stolen number for this ability again, continuing
the swapping until you can no longer use this
feature. You cannot roll for a new recorded
number until you finish a long rest, at which time
you must roll for a new number. A recorded or
stolen roll of 20 does not count as a critical hit. You
can use this feature a number of times equal to
your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) before
finishing a long rest.
ENERGY EQUILIBRIUM
When you reach 14th level, your swirling energy has
pushed your limits higher. You can use your Array
of Hands feature a number of rounds equal to your
proficiency bonus plus your Constitution modifier.
When you reach 18th level, this increases to your
proficiency bonus + two times your Constitution
bonus.
POWER SURGE
At 18th level you can use a bonus action to weave
code and corruption into raw power and surge with
pure strength. For a number of rounds equal to
your Constitution modifier, your proficiency bonus
is added to your damage bonus. You must finish
a long rest before using this feature again.

VIRUS COMPILER
A virus compiler has embraced the chaos and
power that corruption brings. Their acceptance of
corruption is wholly antithetical to the ideals of
most de-fraggers, making them endure the labels
of fiends or heretics, replacing the de-fragger title.
They are often considered mad by those that
simply can’t comprehend the concepts corruption
has opened their minds up to. They intertwine
corruption into their body, growing even more
powerful with each addition. This power is usually
their undoing as their mind begins twisting,
convincing them they can somehow overcome the
limits of their feeble bodies.
They care little for their appearance, except
where it proves beneficial to them. Mixing and
matching broken armor sets is the go-to aesthetic
for virus compilers.
FRAGMENTED SOUL
Unlike other de-fraggers, you revel in corruption.
When you choose this compiler type at 3rd level,
you can choose to willingly fail a corruption saving
throw. This applies even after the Incorruptible
feature would make it impossible to gain more
corruption.
Additionally, whenever you finish a long rest,
you gain +5 temporary hit points for each layer of
corruption you are suffering from.
EARN CORRUPTED
At 3rd level you can channel your wretched power
into your de-frag icon, hijacking the will of a
corrupted creature near you. As an action, you
present you de-frag icon and recite a command
line that hacks into the will of a corrupted creature
and supplants it with your own. Each enemy
corrupted creature that can see or hear you within
30 feet must make a Wisdom saving throw against
your spell save DC. You can then choose 1 creature
that failed the saving throw and that is within your
CR range; it is under your control for 1 minute or
until you stop using this feature, as if dropping
concentration. The command line you utter can be
tweaked to only affect corrupted creatures you
wish to affect.
You can then use a bonus action to command
the creature for the duration. The creature will
obey commands to the best of its ability but will
not obey commands that cause it immediate harm,
such as intentionally stabbing themselves or
walking off a cliff. It also cannot take reactions.
87
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
Once the effect is ended, the creature will
remember all the things it did under your
influence.

RE-FRAG STRIKE
Starting at 3rd level, when you hit a creature with a
melee attack, you can expend 5 of your own hit
points to store extra force damage into the target,
in addition to the melee attack's damage. The extra
damage is 1d8 for 5 hit points, to a maximum of
6d8. Using a bonus action, you can then trigger 1d8
of the stored force energy to damage the target.
The energy dissipates after 1 minute. You draw this
power from your own body and cannot use
temporary hit points to activate it.
For example, a 10th level de-fragger makes a
melee attack with a short sword against a
triceratops. The de-fragger uses 25 hit points so
the attack does the normal attack damage plus
5d8 force damage is stored inside the target. The
de-fragger uses a bonus action to activate the
force damage, causing the triceratops to take 1d8
force damage. The de-fragger can use a bonus
action on their next turn to do this again until all
the stored force damage is expended and/or 1
minute passes.
FRAGMENT
When you reach 6th level, your Stalwart Shield
ability becomes more unstable and prone to
violent explosions. Whenever the shield is
destroyed, due to your dismissal or forces acting
up it, it sends shards of energy out in a 15-foot
radius. Enemy creatures within range must make a
Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 piercing damage
on a failed save or half as much on a successful
one. The damage for this effect increases to 3d6 at
10th level, and again to 4d6 at 14th level, and 5d6 at
18th level.
ARMED AI
When you reach 6th level in the class your extra
arms gain some semblance of autonomy. When an
enemy creature within 5 feet of you makes an
attack roll against you, you can use a reaction to
make one attack roll against them. Both arms can
activate to use two-handed weapons or a single
arm for a one-handed weapon, but you can only
 make one attack roll. The arms can unsheathe a
weapon as long as they are within easy access and
will sheathe them before becoming inert again.
This does not count against uses of your Array of
Hands feature. This feature can be used in
combination with your Re-Frag strike and active
Smite spells.
88
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
CORRUPTED COMPRESSION
When you reach 10th level in this class you have
found ways to spin more corruption into your body
without becoming too unstable to exist. Your max
layers of corruption are increased to 7, with 8
layers killing you. This increases again at 14th level
to a max of 8 layers, with 9 layers killing you. And
once more at 18th level to a max of 9 layers, with 10
layers killing you.
BROKEN SPELL
At 14th level you have learned how to weave your
corruption back into the fabric of the universe. As a
bonus action, you can cure yourself of a number of
corruption layers you choose, according
to your Cure Corruption ability. Those
cured layers become an auxiliary source
of power and can be used as an extra
spell slot immediately after curing
yourself of them. The spell you can
cast must be a spell that you know
whose level is equal to or less than
the number of layers of corruption
you cured yourself of. Any spell
slots, that are gained from using
this feature, but are not used,
vanish at the end of your turn. This
feature can be used by curing yourself
or others, following the rules for curing
unwilling creatures with the Cure Corruption
ability. Spell attacks used because of this feature
are still considered corrupted, even if you cure
yourself or the drained target to 0 layers of
corruption.
UNSTABLE SURGE
At 18th level you can use a bonus action to indulge
in the true power of your corruption. For a number
of rounds equal to your Constitution modifier, your
damage rolls for melee and spell attacks are
increased by +1 for each layer of corruption you
have. You must finish a long rest before using this
feature again.

or (c) an explorer's pack
• One gaming set and a set of Thieves' tools
• Padded armor
• a simple weapon
• a set of shackles
PREY
Beginning at 1st level, you have developed the skills
of a renowned tracker and hunter. Whatever your
quarry is, you have the ability to track them down
across any space, time, or alternate realities. You
must spend a short rest ruminating on a creature
after collecting knowledge on it for it to become
your prey.
There are two stages of knowledge when it
comes to your targets, partial or full, with each one
granting you some benefit. If another feature
affects prey, it does so with either full or partial
knowledge.
Partial knowledge can come from a detailed
description, a video or photograph, tracking signs
left in their trail, possession of a beloved personal
item, or a general understanding of the type of
creature you are hunting (such as dragons or
humans). If you have partial knowledge of a
creature you gain the following benefits:
• Advantage on Survival checks to track
them and Intelligence checks to recall
information about them.
• Their general direction if they are on the
same plane as you.
• Advantage on setting traps against them.
• You have advantage on corruption saving
throws from their attacks.
• You gain double the bounty on your prey (if
there is bounty to be collected).
Full knowledge comes from observing your
prey fully for at least 1 hour. This could be from
afar through a set of binoculars, through the video
screen of several well places cameras, through a
intimate conversation with them, or by tracking
them through the city. This allows you to get a
solid understanding of them as well as to track
them no matter where they are. You gain the
benefits of partial knowledge as well as the
following:
• If they are on the same plane as you, you
know where they are within 1 mile of
accuracy. If you are within 1 mile of them,
you know their location with an accuracy of
300 feet. If they are on a different plane,
you know which one.
• You gain advantage on Deception, Insight,
Persuasion, and Stealth checks against
them.
• They cannot surprise you.
• They cannot have advantage on attacks
made against you or on saving throws
against your spells or effect.
You can have a number of prey in your mind
equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one),
with the oldest one being replaced if you begin
hunting another.
At 7th, 13th, and 17th level you learn a new
language. This must be a language spoken by a
current or previous prey creature.

 GUNSLINGER
You’re a remarkable shot and always have been.
Starting at 1st level, you can choose to gain +1 to the
first ranged attack you make on your turn. This
increases to +2 at 7th level and +3 at 13th level. You
can use this feature a number of times equal to
your Wisdom modifier before finishing a short rest.
Additionally, you can use a ranged weapon as a
melee weapon, whipping the opponent mercilessly
with it. The weapon deals 1d4 + your Strength
modifier bludgeoning damage. This increases to
1d6 at 7th level and 1d8 at 13th level.
In addition, at 7th level, being within 5 feet of a
creature does not impose disadvantage on ranged
attack rolls.
AT HOME ANYWHERE
Starting at 1 level, your inability to stay in one
st
place for too long has given you a good sense of
the nature of nature. While you may not have
visited every location in the world you can make
easy assumptions about the lands you walk based
on previous experience. If you spend a week in one
area familiarizing yourself with that are it becomes
your new “Home.” You know the shadowy corners,
you understand the basic flow of the city, you know
the best places to find food. This extends in a one
mile radius from a general location that you
choose.
While you remain in this area you gain the
following benefits:
• When making an Intelligence or Wisdom
based check related to your Home, your
proficiency bonus is doubled if you are
using a skill that you are proficient in.
• Difficult terrain doesn't slow your
movement.
• You and your group can not become lost
while you are leading, except by magical
means.
• You remain alert to danger, even while
engaged in other activities.
• You have advantage on Stealth checks if
alone.
• You can always find something edible
freely, even when there appears to be no
food, unless the GM states otherwise.
• While tracking your other creatures you
learn their exact number, sizes, how long
ago they passed through this area, and
their general health condition.
92
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
• You are treated with leniency by whatever
guard force is within the area; major
infractions will still have repercussions.
At 7th level this range increases to a two-mile
radius. At 13th level this range increases to a three-
mile radius.
SPELLCASTING
By the time you reach 2nd level, you have been in
enough scrapes to understand the importance of
magic. As such you have spent some time learning
from the wise sages of every place you have
visited. Their words have resonated with you,
guiding you on your path to a more peaceful
future. This occasional peace of mind and storied
lore is where you draw your magical power from.
Spell Slots
The glitch hunter table shows how many spell slots
you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher.
To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot
of the spell's level or higher. You regain all
expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st level spell
Highlight and have a 1st level and a 2nd level spell
slot available, you can cast Highlight using either
slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st level spells of your choice from
the glitch hunter spell list.
The Spells Known column of the glitch hunter
table shows when you learn more glitch hunter
spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be
of a level for which you have spell slots. For
example, when you reach 5th level in this class, you
can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class,
you can choose one of the glitch hunter spells you
know and replace it with another spell from the
glitch hunter spell list, which must also be of a
level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your glitch
hunter spells, since your magic draws on the words
of those wiser than yourself. You use your Wisdom
whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability.
You also use your Wisdom modifier when setting
the saving throw DC for a glitch hunter spell you
cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier

HUTER STYLE
At 3rd level you choose your preferred hunting
style. Each style relies on different methods to
reach the same goal. The hunting styles are Slayer,
Protean, and Shade.
Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and
again at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th.
POWER UP
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th,
and 19th you can increase one ability score of your
choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores
of your choice by 1. Alternatively, you can gain one
feat. You cannot increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
93
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
EXTRA ATTACK
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead
of once, whenever you take the Attack action on
your turn.
SPELL CHAMBER
At 6th level you have become so in tune with you
ranged weapon that you can safely load a spell into
your next shot. Using the normal rules for the
spell's casting times, you channel it into a ranged
weapon. The spell's normal range is replaced by
that of the weapon you are using, but not the area
of effect. The weapon is charged with that spell for
1 minute and expelled with your next shot from
that weapon. The spell is released once the bolt
makes impact, even if it does not hit the target. You
may not take a normal shot with that ranged
weapon until you have released the spell. You may
remove the spell from the weapon by using a
bonus action, but do not recover the expended
spell slot. The spell used must be one that you
know and that you have spell slots for. Only you
may load spells into your ranged weapon. If you
are within a spell’s area of effect when it is
released, you are subject to the effects of the spell
as well. You must finish a short rest before you can
use this feature again. At 18th level you can use this
feature twice before taking a short rest. This
feature has different effects depending on which
type of area of effect your weapon (not the spell)
has.
• Single Shot: The shot is fired, and the spell
takes effect on impact.
• Cone: If the spell normally attacks a single
target, the spell damage is split evenly
between all hit targets. If the spell has an
area of effect, that is changed to the cone
area of the weapon and all targets make
their saving throw against the spell with
disadvantage.
BUG BASHER
At 9th level, you are able to track down corrupted
creatures with ease. You can sense the existence of
a corrupted creature within 300 feet and know its
general direction. You gain a bonus to Survival
checks to track creatures with corruption and a
bonus to damage rolls against creatures with
corruption equal to the number of corruption
layers they have.
Additionally, you gain the Cure/Cause Corruption
spell if you do not already know it.
 GET 'EM
At 10th level you can tell when a bounty is about to
abandon courage and run. As a reaction you can
move up to 15 feet and make a grapple attack
against any creature who is trying to run away
from you or your party, even if they have taken the
Disengage option.
SHARPENED WIT
At 14th level choose two of your skill proficiencies,
or one of your skill proficiencies and your
proficiency with any tool. Your proficiency bonus is
doubled for any ability checks you make that uses
either of the chosen proficiencies.
PEEKABOO
At 18 level you can no longer be fooled by a
th
hostile invisible enemy. Your tracking skills have
been honed so greatly that even slight changes to
pressure in the air, a faint sense of heat or cold,
and nearly imperceptible sounds have become like
beacons to you. You have advantage on Wisdom
checks pertaining to invisible enemies within 60
feet of you. You suffer no penalty to attack rolls
when fighting an invisible creature. Attack rolls
made by the
invisible creature
do not have
advantage against
you and you can use your
reaction to negate the
advantage on allied creatures
that can hear you. The creature is
considered unobscured to you, even
though you cannot actually see them.
You know its general location and can
tell your party members this.

SLAYER STYLE
Slayers match their title, being furious creatures of
death on the battlefield. The excel in danger and
often laugh death in the face. Their life is fast and
furious, overflowing with close calls and unlikely
survival. They are only capable of this because if
their incredible skill in battle. They understand that
luck is a finite resource and never lean on it to get
through. If you find yourself hunted by a slayer,
there is no wall high enough, no armor thick
enough, and no magic powerful enough to keep
you from their wrath.
FURIOUS MELEE
At 3rd level, melee attacks made with the
Gunslinger feature score a critical hit on a roll of 19
or 20.
WILL SHIELD
At 3rd level, your body begins to generate a faint
energy shield around it while in combat. At the
beginning of your turn, so long as you have taken
no damage since the start of your last turn and
have no temporary hit points, you gain temporary
hit points equal to half your glitch hunter level
(rounded down). This feature becomes inactive if
you gain more temporary hit
points than half your glitch hunter
level and remains inactive
until you have 0 temporary
hit points. You lose all
temporary hit points from
this feature whenever you
finish a short or long rest.
 FRENZY
At 7th level with this style, you can enter a
heightened state of aggression for 1 minute. During
this time all your ranged weapon attacks score a
critical hit on a 19 or 20, you are aware of the exact
locations of each creature within 60 feet of you
(even if they are invisible or behind a barrier), and
you can make an additional ranged attack as a
bonus action. If attacking your Prey, your ranged
weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18-
20. Additionally, each time you drop a creature to 0
hit points while using this feature, you can either
recover an expended hit dice or use one of your
remaining hit dice to heal yourself. This ability ends
if you drop to 0 hit points or if you make no attack
rolls on your turn. You must finish a long rest
before using this feature again.
WARY
At 11th level you are so cautious in every situation
that very few can even lay a hand on you. If a
creature makes an attack roll against you, you can
use your reaction to add your Dexterity modifier to
your AC against the attack, even if you have
already added it to determine your original AC. You
can do this after the attack roll is made but before
you know the result. You can use this feature a
number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a long rest.
At 15th level in this class, if an attack roll against
you has advantage, you can use your reaction to
add both your Dexterity modifier and your Wisdom
modifier to your AC.
HAIR TRGGER
At 15 level, you can ignore the loading property on
th
any weapons that have it, making as many attacks
on a turn with the weapon as you are able and
reloading weapons that use energy cores takes a
bonus action. Additionally, if you attack only with
ranged weapons on your turn, you can make three
attacks, instead of two, when you take the attack
action.
INFINITE AMMO
At 20th level you are never without ammunition.
Whenever you hold a ranged weapon, you can
create appropriate ammunition from nowhere.
Weapons with Energy do not need an energy core
to fire and do not use their energy core to fire.
These attacks are considered magical for the
purposes of overcoming resistances. Additionally,
each time you fire a non-magical ranged weapon,
95
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
you can choose to imbue the shot with magic,
giving the ammunition up to +3 to attack and
damage rolls. You can do this a number of times
equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once)
before finishing a long rest.
This feature can be used on any average ranged
weapon designed for medium sized creatures but
can only be used to create ammunition for
weapons designed for Large sized or larger
creatures (or on things such as cannons or
ballistae) a number of times equal to your Wisdom
modifier (minimum of once) before finishing a long
rest. You can imbue the larger shots with the +3
bonus as well or use the Spell Chamber feature on
them upon creation.
PROTEAN STYLE
A protean hunter relies heavily on versatile
equipment, balanced skills, and specialized hunting
to take down their prey. Each one is unique,
developing their own quirky combinations to hunt
in a way only they could. Though they may look
odd carrying a mishmash of armor and weapons,
they should never be underestimated. Given
enough prep time, there is no target too strong and
no environment too harsh for them to conquer.
LEARNED LESSONS
When you choose this style at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with another skill or tool of your choice.
You gain proficiency with another skill or tool of
your choice again at 11th level in this class.
SPECIALIZED UPGRADE
At 3rd level you have either crafted or found a few
pieces of equipment that grants you a small
advantage in the world. Choose two from the list
below. The item should reflect your travels; work
with your GM to determine what you may have
found or created. How the item is integrated into
your attire or weaponry is up to you. Though the
item can be taken away by other creatures, it is
only effective for you. Unless otherwise specified,
the items do not require attunement and cannot
stack their effect with other items (with stronger
items overwriting them). You find two more bits of
equipment at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th level. You cannot
choose the same upgrade more than once. There
may be other upgrades throughout the world, but
few will be more powerful than a 1st level spell or
+1 piece of equipment; work with your GM to
determine what extra equipment may be out there.
 Morph Mod. As a bonus action, you can morph
your body into any basic geometric shape that is
no larger than a 2-foot cube. You can stay in this
form up to 1 minute, changing back after that time
or by using a bonus action. While in this form, your
movement speed is reduced by half and you gain
blindsight up to 30 feet. You cannot take any
actions beyond moving or use any other abilities or
spells while in this form. If you change back in a
space that is too small for your normal form, you
take 6d6 force damage and are moved to the
nearest unoccupied space. You can use this
upgrade once before finishing a short or long rest.
Jetpack. You gain a flight speed equal to your
movement speed. The jetpack can be used for a
total of one minute, breaking up the time into 6
second increments, before finishing a long rest.
Rockets. When using a ranged weapon, you can
add some explosive qualities to the shot when you
make at. Creatures within 5 feet of where the shot

much on a successful one. On a hit, the original

survive in a complete vacuum for up to 10 minutes.
You can activate or deactivate it at will. You must

explosives during a long rest. It can be clean or
covered in adhesive. The adhesive can stick to most
surfaces and you can make an unarmed attack roll
to attempt to stick it to a creature. They must
succeed on a Strength check against your spell
save DC on their turn to remove it. Once armed, it
will explode at the start of your next turn. Each
creature within 5 feet of it must make a Dexterity
saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d6
fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a
successful one. If the bomb is attached to a
creature, they make the Dexterity saving throw
with disadvantage. You can make a number of
bombs equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum
of one) before finishing a long rest.
Grapnel Blaster. A device that fires off a 60-foot
length of rope with a grappling hook on the end as
an action. A ranged attack of 15 or more is
sufficient for most locations, but it may be higher
depending on the environment. As your movement
action, the rope can pull you up to 60 feet. Hitting a
creature with the grapple deals 1d6 bludgeoning
damage. The blaster can pull up to 500 pounds.

 ONE IN A MILLION
Starting 11th level you have seen more close calls
than any person should have reasonably survived.
You're unnaturally lucky and have developed a feel
for your particular type of luck. Whenever you roll
a saving throw and the d20 lands on a 9 or lower,
you can add +10 to your total roll. You can do this
after the roll but before knowing the result. If you
use this skill on a saving throw for a spell or effect
which would normally do half damage on a
success, you instead take no damage on a success
and only half damage on a failure. You must finish
a long rest before you can use this feature again.
At 15th level you can use this feature two times
before finishing a long rest. At 20th level you can
use this feature three times before finishing a long
rest.
MANA DRAIN
At 15th level, you gain the ability to bend the life
energy of your Prey creatures. If you spend one
minute concentrating on a chosen Prey creature
who died within the last hour, you can siphon some
of their residual energy to recharge your spells.
Roll a d4 with the result being to level of spell slot
you recover, or the next lowest spell slot if you do
have not used any spell slots of the result. You can
only recover expended spell slots in this way. You
can use this feature a number of times equal to
your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) before
finishing a long rest.
JOIN THEM
At 20th level you can attempt to enter a Prey
creature, possessing and controlling their body. As
an action, choose a Prey you can see within 60 feet
that has a CR equal to or less than your level. The
creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw
or become possessed for 1 minute. Your physical
form disappears, entering the creature’s body and
controlling it. Though you control the body, the
Prey is not deprived of awareness and may repeat
the saving throw at the start of your turns, ending
the effect on a success. You lose access to all of
your abilities, take your turn on the target’s turn,
and retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma
scores. You can use any of the possessed
creature’s stats, attacks, and abilities (including
spellcasting), using its stats for any of these
abilities. This feature ends after 1 minute, if the
target prey succeeds on their Charisma saving
throw, if you end it as a bonus action, or if the
target prey drops to 0 hit points. When the
98
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
possession ends, you appear in the nearest
unoccupied space from the target. After the effect
ends, the target prey is immune to this feature for
the next 24 hours. You can attempt to possess a
creature as many times as you like but must finish
a short rest before using this feature again after
the first successful possession.
SHADE STYLE
Creeping in the shadows, relying subversion and
subterfuge, you prey is often dead before they
knew what hit them. Shade hunters can just as
easily meld into the shadows as they can into the
bustle of a crowd. They prefer quick, decisive
strikes, using the confusion of battle to line up the
perfect shots. They are acutely aware of their
surroundings and will use the tiniest details to give
them an edge on their foes. In the heat of battle,
they may appear to vanish, the only record of their
participation being a bevy of felled foes the rest of
their companions failed to even notice.
TOOLS OF THE TRADE
When you choose this path at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with both thieves’ tools and disguise
kits.
QUICK DRAW
At 3rd level you can use your reaction and ranged
weapon to take a quick shot at any enemy that
moves at least 10 feet straight at you. If your
weapon has the energy feature, you make the shot
with advantage.
IMPROVISED COVER
At 7th level you've found enough ways to scrunch
your body into tight corridors, smalls boxes, and
behind enough tables to know how to avoid fire in a
pinch. As a reaction to being targeted by a ranged
attack or spell attack you can scrounge for cover,
even if no apparent cover exists. You gain half
cover against that attack. As long as you stay in the
same spot you retain half cover until the start of
your next turn. A small barrel, an abandoned large
shield, even a teammate are all examples of this
temporary cover.
 LOCK ON
At 7th level you can focus your mind to take an
extra careful shot. By using a bonus action, you can
gain advantage on the next ranged attack you take
until the start of your next turn. If you use this
feature on a prey creature and hit, you can add
your Wisdom modifier to the damage. You can use
this feature a number of times equal to your
Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) before
finishing a long rest.
HUNTER’S HEARING
At 11th level you have developed extraordinary
hearing. As an action, make Perception check to
listen to the world around you, homing in on any
specific sound as quiet as a whisper. If successful,
you know the general location of the origin of the
sound, even if you cannot see it. To do this feature
you must beat the DC based on the sound within
the area.
If you are in a quiet area and beat a DC of 20 with a
Perception check, you can hear the heartbeat (or
identifiable equivalent) of any one creature that is
within 15 feet of you. You then memorize that
heartbeat and can use it to recognize that creature,
even if they are in disguise. If you can hear their
heartbeat you gain advantage on any Insight
checks regarding their intentions while speaking to
them.
In addition, you gain advantage on Perception
checks that rely on hearing.
SCARRED ARCANA
At 15th level your experience on the battlefield has
given you incredible arcane insights. You gain an
extra 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, level spell slot and learn
any three 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th level spells. They are
considered glitch hunter spells for you. At 20th

He stands now, piloting his Xord, 10 feet of metal
and electricity. The shining humanoid construct
matches his own movements, wielding an
enormous club. He points it somewhere in the
horizon, then charges. With a terrible crunch he
sends the goblin flying high into the air. He smiles
to himself inside his mech as the readout gives him
a positive kill. Then he turns to face the rest of his
awestruck party and the pack of goblins. Through
his suit, speakers blare his own voice “Who's up for
some Goblin Ball!?” he says, charging another foe.
The wo’nari hung motionless is the dark, chains
digging into his wrists. They would come for him
soon, take him before their “jury” and convict him
of laws that had no right to bind him. He knew this
would happen and he could not stop any of it. They
had smashed his body, taken his Recaster, and now
he was just a normal Wo’nari again. With a sigh he
hung his head in defeat, finally at a loss for words.
Presently a small mewl is heard from the window
bars. Looking up he spots his astral cat, holding his
Recaster in its mouth, a wild look of bemusement
on the translucent feline’s face. It slapped the
Recaster with its tail, spinning it directly into his
open palm. As the power reentered his veins, he
thought of all the different ways to say
“retribution.”

The party stood, hands glued to their foreheads.
She looked expectantly from one to the other. Their
foe laid in a heap at their feet, a powerful wizard
with dire intentions. After a breath had passed and
the party had still not given her validation, she
began to wonder if they had understood her
meaning. Were they really so daft? Sputtering, she
spoke “Get it, guys? Like-” she pointed down to the
broken mage “because he's a magic user. Right?”
The party began shaking their heads in anticipation.
“So,” she grinned “now he's a SORE-cerer.” before
bursting into fits of laughter. They didn't get it,
clearly, but she would liven these dullards up
eventually.
FROM ZERO TO HERO
Henshin are not your typical adventurers. They
often have a convoluted or even mundane
background. They did not choose the power that
they wield, but by some fate, fluke, or outright
mistake, they have it now. Given a Recaster, the
source of their new strength, they have become
something more than their boring lives could or
would ever have allowed. Now they roam the land,
constantly in search for the next exciting challenge
or thrill. Accounts of battles between henshin are
woven into children's games but their rarity makes
such epic fights feel more myth than truth.
Many pilot great constructs called Xords, trampling
foes under their might. Some rely more on their
own skills, fusing the powers of the world into
devastating attacks. A few even choose to dive into
the arcane, becoming dazzling starburst of magic
energy.
Through they may seem like rogue agents, all
henshin are beholden to some force. Sometimes a
great mentor has trained them to take up this
honor. Sometimes an entity of mystery calls upon
them for unknown reasons. Other times the spirit
of the previous henshin gives them guidance. When
not fighting for their cause, they often consult this
being for advice. Not all of these powerful beings
want what is best for their pupil, driving a few
henshin to rebel against their guide. If the henshin's
will is strong enough, they can retain the power of
their Recaster and break free of the negative
influence.
 BEQUEATHED GREATNESS
The Recaster, a small item whose shape and design
are different depending on who it came from, is the
source of a henshin’s abilities. Without it they
would be a lowly shop keep, bar hand, or farmer.
Because they have not worked for their skill, they
can often seem overly confident. In battle they are
constantly berating their foes, snapping one-liners
and mercilessly taunting them. This attitude
sometimes extends to their teammates as well, as
henshin often cannot accept their own
shortcomings and blame their team for failures.
Teams of henshin usually disband quickly because
of this attitude. However, with the proper mentors
and a desire to learn from their mistakes, henshin
can sometimes become amazing teammates, full
of encouragement and enthusiasm.
Most have given up the life they once had;
dedicating themselves to using their powers to
change the world, for better or for worse. Some
others have trouble leaving their loved ones and
instead of roaming, choose to stay and become
protectors of their home. Either way, their very
presence seems to attract undesirable attention.
Their lives are often fraught with struggle and their
amazing powers are matched with amazing loss.

CREATING A HENSHIN
Not all henshin are good, not all are meant to be
chosen, and not all enjoy the life they have.
Consider your mundane origin. Were you a student,
struggling to get through each day? Did you toil
away at your profession, restless in mind and
spirit? Did you crave adventure, but your body
refused to co-operate? How old were you when the
powers came to you? Do you have your whole life
ahead of you and this new responsibility is getting
in the way of your plans? Or do you resent not
getting it sooner?
How does your alignment affect your new
identity? Have you chosen to become a hero for
truth and justice? Do you seek to use your powers
in bloody conquest? Do you revel in life threatening
adventures and seek out mayhem for the sake of
mayhem? Are you using your abilities for personal
growth, or for personal gain? How does your
alignment differ from your mentor's and how does
that affect your relationship with them?
If you chose a Xord or Astral Animal, why did you
choose that one? Do they have special significance
to you? Do you just think they are cool? Do you use
them to strike fear into your foes or to calm
frightened onlookers? Do you prefer
them to join you in glorious battle, to act
as a spy, or to be a liaison between you
and the world?
TRIPLE THREAT
The henshin is a formidable opponent on their own.
When their powerful abilities are fully realized and
used in combination with their team, they become
the stuff of legends. Users wanting to play a
bombastic and unique class are encouraged to
choose this one. While not required for play, it is
strongly recommended that you spend time to
think about witty one-liners to deliver to your foes,
just before their defeat.
PRE-GEN CHARACTER
You can make a henshin quickly by following these
suggestions. First, Dexterity should be your highest
ability score, followed by Charisma. Second, choose
the Rebel background.

• (a) a Longbow, or (b) a Longsword
• One set of Artisan's Tools
• (a) a dungeoneer’s pack, or (b) an explorer's

MASK TYPES
Henshin are broken into three categories, based on
the types of strengths their Henshin Network
connection bolsters. Choose either Power, Magic, or
Speed, all three are detailed at the end of the class
description.
Your choice grants you features when you
choose it at 1st level and again at 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th,
and 20th.
The type of Henshin you are is less dependent on
your influence and more dependent on the what
the force that granted you this power thought was
needed. Not all henshin become the type they want
to be. If this happens to you, consider how it affects
your character’s desires and relationship with their
mentor.

102
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 RECASTER & FORMS
The source of your power is a small device called
the Recaster. This device gains its power from the
Henshin Network, a collection of knowledge,
powers, will, and strange magics from every
henshin that has existed and many that have yet to
be. It gives you abilities beyond your own, provides
you with protection, gifts you with combat
prowess, and links you to your Xord or Astral
Animal. Without it, you are as average as any other
person. While playing this class, you have two
distinct forms, your Nobody form and your Henshin
form.
Nobody: You are sub-par in almost every regard.
Your stats do not change but you have an AC of 10
and cannot add your proficiency bonus to any
attack or saving throw roll. Additionally, any
damage you do to an enemy is reduced by -2. If the
damage of an attack reduced to 0, the attack is
completely ineffective. You also do not have access
to any of the special attacks and magic of this
class, unless otherwise stated, though your Xord
and Astral Animal will still obey your commands.
Henshin: You are an amazing warrior, excelling
at nearly everything you do with little effort. You
transform into your Henshin Armor and use all the
abilities associated with this class. Transforming
from the Nobody form into this form, or vice versa,
takes a bonus action. You may stay in this form as
long as you like but cannot rest or sleep in this
form. If you are separated from your Recaster by
30 feet, for more than 10 minutes, you revert to
your Nobody form.
Some henshin abilities require your target to make
a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects. The
saving throw DC is as follows.
Henshin Ability save DC = 8 + your proficiency
bonus + your Charisma modifier
NETWORK WEAPON
Starting at 1st level, you gain a simple or martial
weapon crafted from the Network itself. Your
Recaster becomes a part of the weapon, creating
or dismissing it as a bonus action or as part of
your bonus action when you transform into your
henshin form. You are considered proficient with
the weapon, and it is non-magical. The weapon
creates ammunition or energy as you use it. If the
weapon leaves your hand, it retains its shape for
10 minutes, after which time it reverts to your
Recaster and you revert to your Nobody form. You
103
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
can change the weapon type whenever you gain a
level in this class.
When you reach 9th level in this class, your
Network weapon becomes a +1 version of itself and
is considered magical for the purposes of
overcoming resistances.
At 18th level it becomes a +2 version of itself and
you can scan the Network for a new weapon,
shifting it during a long rest.
HENSHIN ARMOR
The Recaster, when used to turn into your henshin
form, replaces your clothing with a tight uniform
and a helmet or mask. The armor’s design is up to
you, but it should be a uniform that uniquely
represents you. This suit may appear thin but is
resistant to attacks, arcing and sparking against
blows that would normally tear through such
fabric. It also regulates your temperature the same
way normal clothing would.
While wearing your Henshin Armor your AC equals
10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma
modifier. Your unarmed strikes also deal 1d4
bludgeoning damage.
NETWORK BOOST
At 2nd level, you’re able to tap into the Henshin
Network to alter your powers or even gain new
ones. You may not choose one of these abilities
more than once, unless the ability explicitly states
that you can. You can choose an additional ability
at 13th level.
HEAD’S UP DISPLAY
The visor in your helmet provides you with real
time combat data, alerting you to less obvious
dangers. You gain advantage on saving throws
against illusions and creatures attempting to
surprise you have disadvantage on the Stealth
rolls.
STAR SPECTRUM POWER
You gain a cantrip of your choosing from the
Wizard spell list. The cantrip’s attack bonus equals
your Charisma modifier plus your proficiency
bonus, while the cantrip’s saving throw is equal to
8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency
bonus.
 TEAM UP
When an allied henshin is fighting within 30 feet,
you can use your reaction to link your energy
together. You both gain +1 to a saving throw or
damage roll of your choice until start of your next
turn. If other henshin do this in succession, the
bonus can increase to a max of +5 for all henshin
involved. You can use this feature a number of
times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum
of once) before finishing a long rest..
COMPANION PROTECTION
(Requires Xord, Astral Animal, or Network Cycle)
If your Xord, Netwrok Cycle, or Astral Animal is
within 15 feet of you, you have advantage on saving
throws against fear and charm effects.
ARMOR UPGRADE
You gain +1 to your AC while wearing your Henshin
Armor. If you take this feature twice, your AC
increases by +2 while wearing Henshin Armor and
it is considered magical for the purposes of
combat. Each time you take this feature, your
Henshin Armor’s appearance changes to reflect the
enhanced form.
MENTOR’S SPECIAL TECHNIQUE
You gain +1 to your damage rolls while wearing
your Henshin Armor. If you take this feature twice,
your damage rolls increase by +2 while wearing
Henshin Armor and are considered magical for the
purposes of overcoming resistances.
SWEET FLIPS
Your jumping ability is permanently changed. You
can jump up to 15 feet in any direction, including
up. Additionally, you can use your reaction to
reduce the falling damage you take to 0 for falls of
30 feet or less.
ROLL WITH IT
Whenever a creature within 5 feet of you, that you
can see, makes an attack roll against you, you can
use your reaction to intercept the blow, rolling
along with it and reducing the damage taken by
half.
Alternatively, if the creature is of large size or
smaller, you can take the full damage amount and
instead use your reaction to attempt a grapple
attack on the attacking creature.
ELEMENTAL SMASH
Choose one of the following elemental damage
types; acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, or thunder.
Your unarmed strikes can now deal this damage
type. You can change from bludgeoning to the
104
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
new damage type during a short rest. If you take
this ability twice, you can choose two types of
damage, then swap between all three as a
reaction.
POWER UP
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, and
19th, you can increase one ability score of your
choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores
of your choice by 1. Alternatively, you can gain one
feat. You cannot increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
EXPLOSIVE FINISH
When you reach 4th level in this class, you’ve
mastered the power of a crushing finishing attack.
The type of damage this finishing move creates can
be either fire, lightning, or thunder. Once you
choose the type, it cannot be changed.
When you take the attack option, you can
choose to set yourself up for this move as part of
one of your attacks this turn. Make an attack roll
with disadvantage, on a hit, the attack deals its
normal damage plus 2x your proficiency bonus of
the damage type you have chosen. If this attack is a
critical hit, it deals 4x your proficiency bonus
damage. You can use this feature a number of
times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum
of once) before finishing a long rest but only once
per turn.
When you reach 10th level in this class, you no
longer make the attack roll with disadvantage.
EXTRA ATTACK
Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of
once, whenever you take the attack option on your
turn.
WEAK SPOT
By 6th level you have learned to read the battle
data streaming into your mask so well that you can
more easily guess where a foe may be weakest in
their defense. Using a bonus action, you gain
advantage on your next melee attack until the start
of your next turn. Once you use this feature, you
must finish a long rest before you can use it again.
At 17th level you can give advantage to an ally
within 15 feet of you, so long as they can hear you
call out the weak area. You regain the use of this
feature after finishing a short or long rest.
 ELDER’S LESSONS
At 9th level you have honed some of the traits your
mentor sought to teach you. Choose two more
skills and/or tools from the henshin proficiency list,
and/or two languages to become proficient in.
At 16th level you have learned enough from your
adventures to have taught yourself. Choose any
one skill, tool, or language to become proficient in.
Additionally, at 9th level you can look inside
yourself and call upon the lessons taught to you by
your mentor to gain advantage on one ability check
you are proficient with. You must finish a short or
long rest before you may use this ability again.
OVERDRIVE
By 14th level, your fighting ability has become
legendary. When you make attack rolls, they are
considered critical hits on a 19 or 20. In addition, if
you land a critical hit, you can use your reaction to
make an additional attack against the same target.
If you choose to do so, all attack rolls made against
you have advantage until the start of your next
turn. You can use this feature a number of times
equal to your proficiency bonus before finishing a
long rest.
105
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
TIMELESS LEGEND
By 18th level, you have become one with the powers
of your mask. You cannot be aged by magical
means and must only eat once a week. You also
gain +2 to Death Saving Tthrows, advantage on
Corruption saving throws, and +1 on saving throws
and ability checks you are proficient with.
Additionally, you can transform into your
henshin form for 1 hour, even without your
Recaster. You must finish a long rest before you
can use this ability again.
POWER MASK
The power mask henshin type links you to a robotic
animal companion that can transform into a large
pilotable robot. This, mixed with their natural
combat aptitude, makes them difficult opponents
on the battlefield. Their uniforms usually
aesthetically match their robotic counterparts, as
does their attitude. These Henshin sometimes form
teams to which they are fiercely loyal.
WEAPON UPGRADE
When you choose this mask type at 1st level, you
receive an additional form for your Network
Weapon. Using your bonus action, you can shift the
weapon between a melee weapon and a ranged
weapon of your choosing. You cannot have 2 melee
forms or 2 ranged forms.
XORD
When you choose this mask type, you gain a Xord
companion. It is a robotic ally that follows
alongside you on your journey and is programmed
to aid you in whatever way it can. Choose any
aberration, beast, dragon, fiend, or elemental. The
creature must be of medium size or smaller and
have a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower and may not
be a swarm. Add your proficiency bonus to the
creature's attack rolls, damage rolls, and to any
saving throws and skills it is proficient in. Its hit
point maximum is equal to the hit point number in
its stat block plus 5 x your proficiency bonus. It is
also changes from its original form to a construct
and does not require food, air, or water.
A Xord has the same alignment as the base
creature it was chosen from. Consider how this
affects your relationship if the alignment differs
from yours.
 The Xord will obey your commands to the best
of its ability. It takes its turn on your initiative, but it
will not take an action, except to defend itself,
unless you command it to do so. On your turn you
can freely verbally command the beast where to
move. You can use your action to verbally
command it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage,
Dodge, Help, or Transform action. Both you and the
Xord can attack freely on the same turn, requiring
only your verbal commands for it to do so.
If you are incapacitated or absent, the Xord acts on
its own, prioritizing your protection and safety. In
this state it will gladly give up its own life if it
believes that doing so would save you. It never
requires your permission to use its reaction, such
as when making an opportunity attack.
If the Xord is incapacitated, it gains no benefit of
a long rest without your presence. You can replace
your Xord by spending 8 hours channeling the
power of your Recaster. The new Xord can be the
same creature as before or a different one, but it
will not share the same bond with you as your last
Xord did. It is a fresh entity and will not be as in
tune with you as your previous Xord. While doing
this, you are not able to assume the henshin form
and must stay a Nobody. If this process is
interrupted for more than 10 minutes, you must
begin again.
To obtain the ability to create a different type of
Xord, you must spend 1 hour allowing the Recaster
to scan a creature you wish to have a Xord
template of. You must be within 10 feet of the
creature and cannot take any other actions while
scanning. Once the scan is complete, you have
access to that creature’s template and can use
them as a Xord. Though you may have as many
templates as you wish, you can only have one
active Xord at a time.
EXO-XORD
At 3rd level you have unlocked the power of your
bond with your Xord. Using a bonus action, you can
command it to transform into the powerful Exo-
Xord and then climb inside. Your companion
becomes a humanoid figure of large size. It is inert
until you climb inside it. Only a power henshin
can pilot an Exo-Xord and any others that try,
take 2d10 piercing damage from the
Exo-Xord's automated internal defenses. If
a rival power henshin tries to pilot your Exo-Xord
they can do so but also take the 2d10 piercing
damage at the start of their turns until ejecting
voluntarily or being ejected after falling
unconscious. Your Xord can remain in this state a
106
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
number of rounds equal to half your henshin level
+ your proficiency bonus. After that you and it
must finish a short or long rest before using this
feature again. You may choose to end this feature
early but may still only use it once between a short
or long rest.
Your Exo-Xord wields an Ultra Weapon of your
choice. The Ultra Weapon is created during the
transformation process and only exists while the
Xord is in this state. This weapon is unique to your
Exo-Xord and should ascetically match your
companion and can only be a weapon you are
proficient with or a copy of your Network Weapon.
You choose the type of Ultra Weapon when you
choose your Xord, it cannot be changed unless you
create a new Xord companion. An Ultra Weapon
has the stats and shape of any simple or martial
melee weapon, except the size and damage dice
are both doubled, and the reach is increased by +5
feet.
You cannot use magic or features from other
classes while piloting your Exo-Xord. When you are
piloting your Exo-Xord, your henshin body is
considered to have full cover. The hit points of your
Exo-Xord are equal to your hit points the moment
you begin piloting + the Xord's hit points the
moment you begin piloting. Your Strength and
Dexterity scores are swapped while piloting. All
other stats and abilities are yours, including AC. If
your Exo-Xord is reduced to zero hit points, while
you are piloting, you are forcibly ejected 15 feet
and must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 10) or
take 2d6 bludgeoning damage from impact. When
this happens your Xord reverts to its normal form,
is unconscious, and you take any excess damage
from the attack that brought it down to 0 hit
points.
 EMPOWERING POSE
At 3rd level, you can strike an encouraging pose
that boosts allies around you. If you are in your
Exo-Xord or within 5 feet of your Xord, use an
action to strike a cool pose. Choose up to three
allies within 30 feet of you, they each gain
advantage on the next saving throw they make for
1 minute. You can use this feature a number of
times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum
of once) before finishing a long rest.
At 15th level, this can be used as a bonus action.
XORD EVOLUTION
As you grow in strength, so does the power your
Recaster grants you. And as you grow in bond with
your Xord, the more powerful they can become. At
7th level in this class, the creature you choose for
your Xord can have a challenge rating of 1/2. At 11th
level in this class the challenge rating of the
creature you choose for your Xord increases to 2.
At 15th level in this class the challenge rating of the
creature you choose for your Xord increases to 4.
At 20th level in this class the challenge rating of the
creature you choose for your Xord increases to 6.
The size of the creature is still medium or smaller,
and you still choose from non-swarm creatures
with the aberration, beast, dragon, fiend, or
elemental tag.
XORD VISION
At 7th level, as a bonus action, you can change the
view in your visor to that of your Xord companion's
and back again. If your Xord is within 1 mile, you
can see through its eyes. You are blind while doing
this.
EXO-JECT
At 7th level you can choose to willingly and
forcefully eject from your Exo-Xord as a bonus
action. When you are ejected, willingly or not, you
can make an attack roll against an enemy within 15
feet, dealing 2d6 bludgeoning damage in addition
to the normal damage of your weapon. If you miss
the attack, you must make a Dexterity saving throw
(DC 10) or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage from
impact. If you choose not to use this feature and
are ejected against your will you must still make
the Dexterity saving throw, DC 10, or take 2d6
bludgeoning damage from impact.
EXO-XORD EXTRA ATTACK
At 11th level, while piloting your Exo-Xord, you can
attack three time, instead of twice, when you take
107
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
the attack option on your turn.
EXO-OVERDRIVE
At 11th level you and your Exo-Xord have become
synched together as one body. You can extend your
knowledge of battlefield data into your Exo-Xord
while piloting it. When making a melee attack,
critical hits cause a small shower of magical sparks
to ignite against your opponent, causing an
additional 2d8 force damage. Additionally, your
Ultra weapon becomes a +1 version of itself and is
considered magical for the purposes of
overcoming resistances.
At 20th level this feature improves to cause a
brutal explosion centered on the target creature. If
you score a critical hit, with your Ultra Weapon and
while in your Exo-Xord, you cause an additional 6d8
force damage against the target. Additionally, your
Ultra Weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of
18 – 20 and your weapon is a +2 version of itself.
BATTLE RUSH
At 11th level you have become a hurricane on the
battlefield. When you make an attack that reduces
an enemy to 0 hit points you can immediately use
a reaction to gain 15 feet of movement and make
another attack roll against a creature.
DEFLECTORS
At 15th level you have unlocked some more power
within your Recaster, the ability to shield your Exo-
Xord. While your Exo-Xord form, you have
resistance to all non-magical damage. Additionally,
as a reaction, you can bolster the defense against
any oncoming magical attack, reducing the damage
by half. You can resist magical damage a number
of times equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a long rest.
QUICK RECHARGE
When you reach 20th level with this mask type, you
and your Xord’s energy recharges at an incredible
rate. You can use the Exo-Xord feature after
finishing a short or long rest. You automatically
recover hit points equal to a number of Hit Dice
rolls equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of
one) after finishing a short rest, without expending
the dice. Additionally, you and your Xord can
remove 1 level of exhaustion after finishing a short
or long rest. This can only be used to remove up to
2 levels of exhaustion per day.
 VARIANT GIGA-XORD RULES
Power henshin and their Exo-Xords possess the unique ability to combine their forces into a massive robot warrior,
called a Giga-Xord. To do this, a power henshin leader must be chosen, their stats become the basis for the Giga-
Xord. Combining the Exo-Xords into the Giga-Xord takes an action. If 3 or 4 Exo-Xords combine, the size of the Giga-
Xord becomes huge. If 5 to 6 combine (the maximum possible) their size becomes Gargantuan. The Strength,
Dexterity, and Constitution scores of the mech are equal to the leader’s + 2 for each Exo-Xord in the combination,
to a maximum of 30. The hit points of the Giga-Xord is equal to the combined total hit points of all Exo-Xords when
the Giga-Xord is created. A Giga-Weapon is chosen (by party consensus), it has the normal stats of any weapon
except its reach is 15 feet (huge mech) or 30 feet (gargantuan mech) and the damage dice are doubled + 1 extra
damage dice for each Exo-Xord in the combination. Its speed is 60. All ability checks or saving throws can be made

DEADLY ACCESSORY
When you choose this mask type at 1st level, once
accessory of your Henshin Armor becomes a
powerful weapon. The accessory must be
something small, such as a ring or necklace, and
must be something you can remove. As an action,
the accessory can be used either as a melee
weapon or a ranged weapon, with a range of
60/120. On a hit, the accessory releases a burst of
energy, dealing 3d4 force damage to the target. If
the accessory was thrown, it returns to its place on
your body at the start of your next turn, vanishing
from its previous place in a flash of light.
You can use this item a number of times
equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a
long rest.
At 3rd level, the force damage this
accessory deals is increased to 3d6. It
increases again to 3d8 at 7th level, to
3d10 at 11th level, and finally to 3d12
at 15th level.

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
ENCHANTING POSE
At 3rd level, you’ve added charming flourishes to
your magical attacks. Whenever you cast a spell,
you can use a bonus action to attempt to charm
one creature within 30 feet of you. They must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your
Spell Save DC or be charmed by you until the start
of your next turn. You can use this feature once
before finishing a long rest.
SIGNATURE MAGIC
When you reach 7th level with this mask type,
you’ve used certain spells enough that they have
become routine to you. Choose a spell of 1st level
that you know, you can now cast that spell once
without using a spell slot. You cannot cast this
spell at a higher level without expending a spell
slot. You must finish a long rest before using this
feature again.
At 15th level, you can choose an additional spell
of 2nd level or lower to cast without expending a
spell slot. At 20th level, you can choose an
additional spell of 3rd level or lower to cast without
expending a spell slot.
 SPELL AUGMENTATIONS
At 7th level, you have gained access to an
augmentation menu in your Recaster. When
casting a spell, you can choose to augment them
with one of the options below. You can augment a
spell a number of times equal to your Charisma
modifier (minimum of once) before finishing a long
rest.
You may choose to unlock an additional
augmentation at 15th level. You cannot unlock an
augmentation more than once and can only
change a spell with one augmentation at a time.
FRIENDLY FIRE
When you cast a spell that requires a saving throw,
you can protect some of the creatures within that
area. Roll a d4, the result is the number of
creatures you can protect. Protected creatures take
no damage from your attack.
QUICK SPELL
When targeted by an attack, you can use your
reaction to cast a spell that has a casting time of 1
bonus action, even if you have already used a
bonus action on your turn.
ASTRAL CHARGE
You can imbue your Astral Animal with a spell that
has a range of touch. For the next minute, if the
Astral Animal touches a target of your choice, the
spell is released on them.
STRONGER SPELLS
When casting a spell, you can add +1 additional
damage dice to the damage the spell deals.
BIG BOOM
When casting a spell that has an area of effect of a
sphere, you can double the area it affects but all
creatures within the area make their saving throws
to resist the spell with advantage.
COSMIC LIGHT
Your spells can become augmented by the time of
day. While in sunlight, or equivalent light, spells
that deal radiant damage have advantage on their
attack roll and/or the saving throws to resist their
effects are made with disadvantage. While in
moonlight, or equivalent light, spells that deal
necrotic damage have advantage on their attack
roll and/or the saving throws to resist their effects
are made with disadvantage. The alignment of the
planets and stars may affect spells of different
damage types in similar ways. Work with your GM
to determine if this is true for your setting.

ARCANE WEAKNESS
By 11th level you have learned to read the battle
data streaming into your mask so well that you can
more easily guess where a foe may be weakest in
their defense as a bonus action. You gain
advantage on your next spell attack. You can use
this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum of once) before
finishing a long rest.
PROTECTIVE AURA
At 15th level, you can resist the effects of some
magic and extend that resistance to your allies.
Whenever you are targeted by a spell or spell-like
effect that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison,
psychic, or thunder damage, you can use your
reaction to become resistant to that type of
damage until the start of your next turn. This
resistance also spreads out 15 feet in a sparking
aura around you. Any allied creatures within this
aura gain resistance to the same damage type. You
can use this feature a number of times equal to
your Charisma modifier (minimum of once) before
finishing a long rest.
INFINITY FORM
By 20th level, you can use a bonus action to call
upon the forces of magic henshin from across time
and space through the Henshin Network. Using a
bonus action, you become a being of pulsing
energy and light for 1 minute. You extend bright
light up to 60 feet, all attacks made against you
have disadvantage, you have advantage on saving
throws and take no damage if a successful save
would reduce the damage by half. You recover 10
hit points at the end of your turn, even if
unconscious. All attacks made by you have
advantage and targets have disadvantage on
saving throws to resist your spells and spell
effects. Spells you cast during the duration of this
feature do not expend spell slots but cannot be
cast above their level. After this feature ends, you
are reduced to 1 hit point and gain 1 level of
exhaustion. You must finish a long rest before you
can use this feature again.

SPEED MASK
Speed masks are the most individualistic of all
henshin. Their focus on inner strength drives them
to compete against most other henshin, especially
other speed masks. Their uniform is highly
personalized, taking influence from the henshin’s
previous life and hobbies. All of this is mirrored in
the way they perform in combat. They spend hours
perfecting a specific set of moves that is unique to
them, unleashing them with ease on unprepared
foes. They do occasionally team up with other
henshin, but this is usually to defeat a greater foe
and the alliance is often short lived.
EMPOWERED PUNCH
When you choose this mask type at 1st level, your
fists become deadly weapons. Your unarmed
strikes deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage, even in your
Nobody form.
This increases to 1d6 at 7th level, 1d8 at 15th level,
and 1d10 at 20th level. By 11th level. At 7th level these
attacks are considered magical for the purposes of
overcoming resistances.
112
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
BATTLE CHARGER
When you choose this mask type at 1st level, your
speed becomes one of your greatest assets. If you
move 15 feet or more directly towards a target, you
can add an additional damage die to the attack. If
you use your entire move action on your turn to
run at a target, you make the attack with
advantage. Additionally, if you take the dash action
on your turn, your movement speed is tripled,
instead of doubled.
This can be used in combination with your
Network Cycle
FRIGHTFUL POSE
At 3rd level, you’ve become a terrible visage on the
battlefield. Whenever you reduce an enemy to 0 hit
points, you can use a bonus action to strike a
fearsome pose. All hostile creatures within 30 feet
of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw
against your Henshin Ability save DC or be
frightened of you until the start of your next turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal
to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once)
before finishing a long rest.
 SIGNATURE MOVES
Starting at 3rd level have dug deep within yourself
to create new and unique moves. The type of
move you develop is comprised of three parts.
Roll 3d12 on the Signature Moves chart to
determine what move you have created. The
damage caused by these attacks is equal to your
unarmed strikes and is denoted as Special Move
Dice (SMD). If an ability forces a creature to make
a saving throw, they do so against your Henshin
Ability save DC.
The first line determines what type of damage
your enhanced special move does. The second line
is what type of attack it is and how many Special
Move Dice (SMD) the move uses. The last line
determines what additional effect the enhanced
special move will have. Your Henshin Armor will
adapt to facilitate the powers needed to use these
moves. You can use these moves as a single attack
when you take the attack action on your turn, but
no more than once on your turn. You can use your
Special Moves a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus before finishing a long rest. You
are proficient with these moves.
You gain an additional move (2 total) when you
reach 7th level in this class and again (3 total) at
15th level. When you reach 20th level in this class,
you can re-roll one Special Move after finishing a
long rest.

 HOLO-KNIGHT
A half-orc steps into the technodrome. Paper
cutouts supposed to represent fans wave frame by
frame. The arena runs a roulette wheel to generate
an enemy comparable to his power. This would
take some time. Eventually it settles on a Dracolich.
A little rote, but fun nonetheless. To his hand he
summons a +2 sword then splits himself into two
copies. The timer starts, the crowd cheers, and the
half-orc knows he will never die.
A human decked in brilliant blue armor is cut
down by a cunning thief. The thief laughs and then
begins to cough up blood as the illusion of the blue
clad warrior fades. The thief feels down to a
slender dagger protruding through his throat. As
her invisibility spell wears off, the human disperses
her holographic dagger and the thief falls forward.
All too easy.
Pinned against a wall, the halfling begins his
onslaught. He summons his orange holo-hammer.
With one blow he caves in a skull, the next blow
shatters the hammer on a spine. Without a breath
an axe is summoned and slices through the third
opponent. He belts a war cry and the remaining
foes give him room to breathe. Just the way he
wanted.
HEROES OF THE ARENA
The holo-knight is a master of illusions and
combat. They can summon weapons at will and are
extremely versatile in battle. When faced with a
challenge they can't simply beat to death, they
employ their natural magical talents to beguile
their foes. With such a plethora of options at
their fingertips, they often keep score of
vanquished foes amongst themselves.
However, because
they are so versatile,
they can sometimes lack
specialty and can get in over their
heads without help.
116
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
FORCE OF REALITY
Holo-knights can derive their holograms from
many different sources, ranging from highly
technological to mechanical. Though the source
may be different, the effect is essentially the same
for each holo-knight. You may have projectors
planted somewhere on your body, slowly
improving them as you gain levels in this class. It
could also be a form of empowered illusion magic,
adding substance to the insubstantial in ways most
magic users can’t fully comprehend. A scant few
are able to tap into the Code itself, granting them
power through arbitrary code execution; an
incredibly difficult technique that is almost
indistinguishable from magic for skilled enough
users. The holograms themselves are not enough
to create a holo-knight though, as a highly trained
mind is useless without a body that can use these
new skills. As such, holo-knights are few and far
between, the high level of skill needed to become
even an amateur one being a huge barrier to entry.
JACK OF ALL COMBAT
This is a favorite choice among mid-skill Users.
What it lacks in specialization, it can make up for
with creative magic. Not being tied to any one
weapon is a great choice for
versatility but can be overwhelming
to new Users. We suggest this class
for Users seeking a high risk,
high reward playstyle.
 CREATING A HOLO-KNIGHT background.
When choosing a holo-knight make sure you
consider their background. Such power often
corrupts its wielders, but not always. Did your
character decide on this path to fulfill a vengeful
vendetta? Did they want to use the power to
protect a loved one or precious artifact? Who did
they learn these abilities from? Were they self-
taught or did they have a benevolent or tortuous
master? How many failures did they endure before
they became the competent character you have
chosen? Think about these things as you build your
character.

PRE-GEN CHARACTER
You can make a holo-knight quickly by following
these suggestions. First, make Dexterity or
Intelligence your highest ability score, depending
on which line you want to lean on more, melee
combat or illusion magic, making Strength the
second highest. Then take the Mercenary

Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition
to the equipment granted by your background:
• (a) studded leather armor or (b) plasteel
fiber clothing
• Holo-Diagram Book (Contains schematics
on weapons and armor you can create. You
begin with 1 armor set and 3 weapons of
your choice. Each level you gain in this
class allows you to choose another 3 items
of either armor of weapons.) This item is
itself a hologram and cannot be taken from
you.
• (a) a dungeoneer’s pack or (b) and
explorers pack
HOLO-WEAPONS
At 1st level you gain the ability to summon weapons
from thin air. Using a bonus action, you can
summon a holographic version of any martial,
simple, or ranged weapon from your Holo-Diagram
Book. Though holographic, they behave in the same
way as a normal weapon for the purposes of
combat. The weapons are considered non-magical
and will disappear at the start of your next turn if
not in the summoner's hand. Shields can also be
summoned this way and count as one instance of
this feature. Unless your GM states otherwise, you
cannot summon complex or named magical
weapons such as the Proton Blade or Key Sword.
There can only be two instances of this skill active
at once. Ammunition does not count as an extra
instance if it is being used only as ammunition.

yourself or another willing creature in holographic
armor from your Holo-Diagram Book. The creation
of this armor takes an action. There can only be 1
instance of this armor active at a time. The armor
lasts for 1 minute or until dispelled with a bonus
action. The wearer is considered proficient, and you
gain all advantages and disadvantages with the
armor, until the effect ends. You can summon Light
Armor at 2nd level, medium at 6th level, and heavy
at 15th level. You can use this this ability a number
of times equal to your Intelligence modifier,
minimum of once, before finishing a short or long
rest.
SPELLCASTING
Starting at 2nd level you have begun mastering the
art of magic. Mixing you prowess in combat, your
holographic abilities, and your unpredictable spells,
you are able to keep your foes perpetually on their
toes.
CANTRIPS
You know two cantrips of your choice from the
holo-knight spell list. You learn additional holo-
knight cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as
shown in the Cantrips Known column of the holo-
knight.
SPELL SLOTS
The holo-knight table shows how many spell slots
you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher.
To cast one of these spells you must expend a slot
of the spell's level or higher. You regain all
expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level Crank
Caller and have a 1st-level and 2nd-level spell slot
available, you can cast Crank Caller using either
slot.
SPELLS KNOWN OF 1ST LEVEL AND HIGHER
The Spells Known column of the holo-knight table
shows when you learn more holo-knight spells of
your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level
for which you have spell slots, as shown on the
table. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this
class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
holo-knight magic revolves mostly around illusions
and trickery.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class,
you can choose one of the holo-knight spells you
know and replace it with another spell from the
holo-knight spell list, which also must be of a level
for which you have spell slots.

it damages the target and then fades away. If the

 HOLOGRAM TYPE
Holograms can be created in many different ways.
The best holo-knights dedicate their time towards
perfecting the manipulation of one type of light.
There are masters of holograms who will teach
those who seek them out. More often, a holo-knight
begins sliding towards one light path or another by
simple habit.
Hard Light
A holo-knight who specializes in hard light
constructs is focused on the raw strength their
mind can create. Their combat style is rigid and
harsh. Their constructs lack artistry, choosing form
over function; their blocky creations match their
straightforward combat style.
STABLE CONSTRUCTION
At 3rd level you have begun to expand your creation
abilities by reducing the load of each instance. By
trimming down on the designs and flair of your
hologram to their basest functioning forms, you
can double the number of instances you can
maintain and greatly lengthen their duration. You
can have a total of 4 Holo-Weapon instances and 2
Holo-Armor instances active at any time. These
constructs last for 10 minutes and can be wielded
by any able creature. You may dismiss them as a
bonus action or by summoning another instance to
replace it.
You can create a set of 6 pieces of non-magical
ammunition (such as arrows, bolts, or darts) or 1
full energy core of any non-magical
ammunition
120
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
type and give it to another creature. These
bequeathed sets count as 1 instance of your Holo-
Weapon feature.
ARMORED CORE
At 7th level you have bolstered your armor beyond
what should be capable. When using your Holo-
Armor feature, you can choose to create it as if it
were +1 armor. This increases to the choice of +2
armor at 13th level, and again to +3 armor at 18th
level. Additionally, summoning the armor only
takes a bonus action and, if you are wearing it, the
armor lasts for 1 hour.
You can also use 1 instance of you Holo-Armor
to make a small barrier. Using a bonus action, you
create a small fixed barrier, no larger than a 5-foot
cube. Any creatures behind the cube have half-
cover. The cube has an AC of 10, 10 hit points, and
lasts for 1 minute.
ARMOR BURST
At 13th level you gain the ability to rupture your
Holo-Armor and send it flying off in a shower of
holographic shards. Using a bonus action, the Holo-
Armor armor explodes and every hostile creature
within 15 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity
saving throw versus your spell save DC or take
slashing damage equal to the armor's strength.
You can use this feature a number of times equal
to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once)
before finishing a long rest. Armor of +1 or higher
does additional damage equal to the bonus of the
armor.
Light Armor Medium Armor Heavy Armor
3d8 5d8 8d8
HOLO-POWER ARMOR
At 18th level you’ve combined magic and might to
create a set of Holo-Armor that cannot be rivaled.
To use this feature, you must use a spell slot of 1st
level or higher, 2 instances of Holo-Armor and an
action. The armor forms around your body like a
mechanized glove, boosting your natural abilities to
great heights. While active, your movement and
jump speeds are doubled, you gain +5 to any
Strength or Dexterity attack, damage, and saving
throw rolls, you can lift and carry triple your
normal capacity, and you gain one extra attack
action on your turn.
This ability lasts 1 minute and cannot be used on
creatures other than yourself. You must finish a
short or long rest before you can use it again.

Soft Light
Holo-knights who choose a subtler
approach to combat will often choose this path.
This path is less about bravado and more centered
on flair and panache. They have focused on
creating the most intricate designs and weaving
magical and holograms into a fine balance.
ELEMENTAL ADD-ONS
At 3rd level you can add additional elemental
damage or silver effects to your chosen Holo-
Weapon when they are created. Choose the
element type from: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison,
psychic, and thunder. By using a spell slot of 1st
level or higher, you can choose from these
additional damage types: force, necrotic, and
radiant. When attacking with this weapon, they deal
extra elemental damage equal to your proficiency
bonus. At 13th level this becomes twice your
proficiency bonus. Additionally, you can create the
weapon as if it were silvered instead, dealing no
extra damage. You can use this feature a number
of times equal to your Intelligence modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a long rest.
SHATTER SPARK
At 7th level you have begun to weave more
dangerous protocols into your Holo-Weapons.
When using the Weapon Shatter feature, you can
send a shower of holographic shrapnel into nearby
targets. When your weapon shatters, any enemy
creatures within 5 feet of the target must make a
Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d6 slashing damage
on a failed save or half as much on a successful
save.
The range and damage increase for more
powerful Holo-Weapons. 10 feet and 1d8+1 damage
for +1 weapons, 15 feet and 1d10+2 damage for +2
weapons, and 20 feet and 1d12+3 damage for +3
weapons. Shrapnel from +1 weapons or higher is
considered magical. You may use this feature a
121
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
number of times equal to your Intelligence
modifier (minimum of once) before finishing a long
rest.
MAGIC DIMMER
When you reach 13th level, you gain the ability to
suppress the aura of magical items. As an action,
you can use one instance of your Holo-Weapon to
create a dampening field around on a magical item
you can see within 60 feet that is no larger than a
5 foot cube. This effect lasts for 1 minute and
requires concentration like a spell. While the item
is dampened, it loses all magical properties,
becoming totally mundane, and is incapable of
using any abilities or spells.
Objects of extreme magic such as named
artifacts, intelligent items, or arcane
engines cannot be affected by this
feature. It does not stop a creature from
casting their own magic and does not affect
creatures whose lives are magically sustained.
You may use this feature twice before finishing
a long rest.
HYPER CONSTRUCT
When you reach 13th level in this path, weapons you
create can become +3 weapons and are considered
magical for the purposes of overcoming
resistances.
SOFT FLESH
By 18th level, you have become so attuned to your
holograms that you can briefly turn your body into
one. Using a reaction, you can turn your body into
soft-light whenever an effect requires a saving
throw. You take half damage from the effect if you
fail the saving throw, and no damage if you
succeed. Additionally, you can use this effect to
walk through non-magical barriers or up to three
feet of stone, 1 foot of metal, and 1 inch of lead. If
you end your turn inside a barrier or wall you are
immediately pushed back to your point of entry or
the nearest unoccupied space (whichever is
further) and take 6d6 force damage. You may use
this feature a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (minimum of once) before
finishing a long rest.
Quantum Light
A quantum light holo-knight constructor has
blurred the lines between illusion and reality.
Through mastery of both concepts, they can create
constructs so believable they are indistinguishable
 from reality. The holograms begin to move and
flow as if they are a natural part of the world. A
talented holo-knight in this field may begin to
suspect that their holograms have a will of their
own.
SOLID ILLUSIONS
When you take this path at 3rd level, you can
combine your constructs seamlessly with the
illusions you make. When you use an illusion spell,
you can weave your holographic constructs into
the magic, making the illusion solid. The illusion
will feel real to the touch, down to temperature
and stray fibers. Creatures attempting to see
through the illusion make their rolls with
disadvantage.
The holograms cannot produce sounds, though
some illusion spells can. The illusion constructs
can carry items appropriate to the illusion. If
attacking, they use your ability scores but can do a
maximum of 1 + the appropriate ability score
damage. Any damage to the illusion will destroy
the holograms inside but will leave the illusion
spell intact. You can only have one instance of this
feature active at a time. Any weapons or armor the
illusion is using count against your active instances
for those items.
You can use this feature once before finishing a
long rest. This increases to twice at 7th level, and to
three times at 18th level.
MOSTLY MAGIC
When you choose this path at 3rd level, you have
learned to mix illusions and
quantum light to
approximate a spell
that is naturally
beyond your
capabilities.
122
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
You can learn a spell from any spell list. The spell
must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
You can learn an additional spell from any spell list
at 7th level, 13th level, and 18th level.
DOUBLE TEAM
At 13th level you can focus your magic and
holograms to create a duplicate of yourself. To use
this feature, you must use a spell slot of 1st level or
higher and a bonus action. They have whatever
holo-weapons and holo-armor you were wearing
when summoned, neither the weapon or armor
count against your total possible instances of these
items. They have 1 hit point, can only attack once
per turn (except by using Weapon Shatter), cannot
use magic, and cannot summon new weapons or
armor. They share all your other holo-knight
abilities. You are telepathically linked to them and
can command them freely after they are created.
They act on your turn. They cannot move more
than 300 feet away from you and dissipate after 1
minute.
At 18th level you can create two duplicates,
commanding them both freely.
CONSTRUCT HEALING
At 18th level the holograms you use in combat
begin to act on their own accord to stem bleeding
and suture small wounds. Unless you are
unconscious, you regain hit points equal to your
Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1) at the end of
each of your turns when you are not at max health.
 SYNTH WEAVER
A young human weaves around the battlefield on
rollerblades. As she positions herself for maximum
effect, she reaches for her megaphone. Pirouetting
against a group of foes she lets loose a blast
against the group. The enemies reach for their ears
and fall to their knees, leaving them open for her
teammates to mop up.
The dragonborn's party has been ravaged; they
likely will not survive this battle. He stares up at
the lich, Ruin, places sunglasses on his nose,
cranking up his boombox to eleven. The ludicrous
bass and melodious beats waft through his
teammates, revitalizing their strength and will.
Ruin balks at the dubious wubs coming from this
group. He fears, for they
are no longer a team,
they are a party.
123
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
The dwarf readies his fingers and steadies his
mind. Placing his hand down and the keytar, he
begins his opus. The virus infested crowd rushes
the stage but with every new chord he blasts them
off in heaps of electric carnage. He knows he is
doomed. His teammates have all fallen beside him.
But he will not stop playing, not for the world, not
for his life, not for the love he has lost. With one
final glance he looks towards the heavens and cries
out their name. Then, there is nothing left in him
but the music.
BEATBOXING BADBOYS
The synth weaver is the backbone of any
outstanding group. They skate around the
battlefield and boost their allies in a multitude of
ways. Most synth weavers can seem aloof or even
goofy to the untrained eye but don't let their casual
exterior fool you. When pushed to a wall they can
be extremely deadly. Their ability to assist their
allies with even simple actions, such as basic melee
combat, makes them a high priority target for
those who understand their power.
SUPPORT CLASS
We recommend this class for high skill Users.
Users choosing this class must be good with
cooperation and fair play. This class is difficult to
play if you tend to solo missions. We recommend
teaming up with midsize groups or small groups
with advanced Users. This is an extremely
rewarding class and can push an
already great team into
wonderful syncopation. We
recommend this class to
anyone who enjoys
supportive roles.

125
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
• (a) two daggers, (a) a lance, or (c) a whip
• an entertainer's pack
• (a) a Keytar or (b) any other Musical
instrument
• Any simple weapon of your choice
SPELLCASTING
You have noticed that everything within the
Retroverse thrums to the Beat. Because of that you
have the ability to call forth magic from within the
places between the beats. On occasion the powers
pulled to you are not the ones you intended. When
you cast a spell that requires a saving throw, roll a
d20. On a 1, a different spell that you know, of the
same level used is triggered, using the spell slot.
The new spell used is up to the GM. If you do not
know another spell of that level, then a spell of
lower level is used and the spell slot originally
intended for use is expended. In this case you gain
any bonuses for casting a spell at a higher level, if
applicable.
You know what spell you are using, even if it is
not the spell you intended to pull from the Beat.
You can use your reaction to cancel a spell if the
wrong one is pulled, but the spell slot is still
expended. If you cancel the spell, you gain
temporary hit points equal to double the level the
spell was intended to be cast at.
CANTRIPS
You know two cantrips of your choice from the
synth weaver spell list. You learn additional Synth
Weaver cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as
shown in the Cantrips Known column of the synth
weaver Table.
SPELL SLOTS
The synth weaver table shows how many spell
slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and
higher. To cast one of these spells you must
expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a
long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell swift
stars and have a 1st-level and 2nd-level spell slot
available, you can cast swift stars using either slot.
SPELLS KNOWN OF 1ST LEVEL AND HIGHER
You know four 1st level spells of your choice from
the synth weaver spell list. Spells can be hard to
identify as a soundwave and so you can only pull
from the Beat the magic you are intimately familiar
with.
 The Spells Known column of the synth weaver
table shows when you learn more synth weaver
spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be
of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown
on the table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level
in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or
2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class,
you can choose one of the synth weaver spells you
know and replace it with another spell from the
synth weaver spell list, which also must be of a
level for which you have spell slots.
SPELLCASTING ABILITY
Dexterity is your spellcasting ability for your synth
weaver spells. Your magic comes from the rests
between the Beat of the World and you channel it
through your own rhythmic gyrations and quick
movements. Your magic is less about the creation
of power through music and more about taking
from or augmenting with the rhythm that already
exists. You use your Dexterity whenever a spell
refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you
use your Dexterity modifier when setting the
saving throw DC for a synth weaver spell you cast
and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Dexterity modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Dexterity modifier
SPELLCASTING FOCUS
You can use any musical instrument you’re
proficient with as a spellcasting focus for your
synth weaver spells.
SYNTH WEAVER HYPE
Starting at 1st level you can get others around you
hyped by tuning into their own particular rhythm.
To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to
choose one creature other than yourself within 60
feet of you who can hear you. You grant that
creature a set of bonus points, the total set of
points being your choice from the pool of Hype
points you have available. Though you can choose
to give only a portion of your Hype points, the
recipient must use the entire set given.
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature
can add the entire set of bonus points to one ability
check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The
creature can wait until after the roll before
deciding to use the Hype point set but must decide
126
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
before they know the result. Once the Hype point
set is used, they are lost. A creature can have only
one set of Hype points and the set cannot be
changed once it is given.
You can use this feature a number of times
equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of
once). You regain any expended uses once you
finish a long rest. Your Hype points increase as you
gain levels in this class, as shown by the Hype
Points column of the Synth Weaver table.
SHORT RECITAL
When you reach 2nd level in this class, you can use
Hype points to recover spent synth weaver spell
during a short rest. You can recover a number of
spent spell slots equal to half the Hype points
used. If using the Fresh Batteries feature, the total
Hype points available are used after their recovery
through the Fresh Batteries feature.
BEAT STYLE
Synth weavers all have an intimate connection to
the Beat of the World, but that connection can
come in different forms. No two synth weavers are
identical, having all found their connection in
different ways. Beat Boosters have tapped into the
Beat and use it to amplify themselves and their
friends. Beat Mixers twist the Beat to their desires
and use it the change the world around them. Beat
Breakers are the most destructive of synth
weavers and interject their own tones to cause
disharmony in the Beat.
When you reach 3rd level, you begin to shape
the Beat of the World to your own desires. Choose
which way you harness the Beat: Breaker, Booster,
or Mixer. Your choice grants you features at 3rd, 6th,
12th, 16th, and 19th.
POWER UP
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th,
and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of
your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability
scores of your choice by 1. Alternatively, you can
gain one Feat. You cannot increase an ability score
beyond 20 using this feature.
RAISED ROOF
When you reach 5th level in this class, you gain an
additional Hype Point (+2 gained total), as shown
by the Hype Points column of the synth weaver
table. You gain an additional Hype Point again at
10th level, 15th level, and 20th level.
 FRESH BATTERIES
At 7th level, you regain all synth weaver Hype points
when you finish a short or long rest.
SPELL BEQUEATH
At 10th level you can gift a spell slot to an ally as an
action. At the cost of 5 Hype points, you can roll a
d4. That roll is the level of spell slot you can give to
an ally. This counts as a bonus spell slot and does
not count against the total spells your ally can
cast. At 14th level the die used increases to a d6. At
18th level the die used increases to a d8. If the roll is
for a spell slot for which they do not know any
spells, they instead gain a spell slot for the next
highest spell they know. You can use this feature a
number of times equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a long rest.
For example, as a 15th level synth weaver you
spend 5 Hype points to use this ability. You target
the Cleric and roll a d6, it lands on 4. The Cleric now
has an extra use of any 4th level spell they know.
You must finish a long rest before you can use this
ability again.
KINETIC CHARGER
At 20th level, when a new round starts and you
have no Hype points left, you regain 5.
Beat Mixer
A Beat Mixer Synth Weaver is so in tune with the
Beat of the World they can use it to bend the very
air around them. They sample and remix the Beat
to their own whims. They are often irreverent of
the rules that govern society or reality. They are
slippery, sliding around the battlefield to a rhythm
of the multitude.
CANTRIP SNIPPET
When you chose this beat type at 3rd level, you
learn two cantrips of your choice from any class.
They are considered synth weaver cantrips when

ROLLER BLADES
When you choose this style at 3rd level, you have
focused some of the power of the Beat into a set of
ephemeral roller or razor blades. They are built to
adapt to nearly any surface and you do not suffer
extra penalties on normal surfaces unless it is
difficult terrain. On difficult terrain you suffer
disadvantage on any Dexterity based checks or
saving throws while wearing the Roller Blades. You
may use an action to take them off, losing the AC

bonus when you are not wearing them. At 3rd level
they add +5 feet to your movement speed and +2
to your Dexterity based AC and Dexterity saves
only. At 6th level this changes to +10 feet and +3 to
your Dexterity based AC and Dexterity saves. At 12th
level this changes to +15 feet and +4 to your
Dexterity based AC and Dexterity saves.
Additionally, you can use 2 hype points to
traverse rough terrain as if it were normal terrain
until the start of your next turn. This can also be
used to travel up vertical surfaces or across water
at half your movement speed.
You cannot wear any armor while using the
Roller Blades. You are proficient with the blades.
MIXER BEAT-DOWN
When you choose this style at 3rd level, you can
hype yourself up to attack with your dancing
moves and Roller Blades. The Roller Blades do 1d6
+ your Dexterity modifier slashing damage. At 12th
Level you can attack twice with your Roller Blades
using this action. You are considered proficient with
this attack and can spend 1 Hype point per attack to
make the attack considered magical for the
purposes of overcoming resistances.
SPELL SAMPLE
Starting at 6th level, you have the ability to sample
and cast a spell another creature has used. The
spell has to have been cast at a level for which you
spell slots to use this feature. The spell is cast as a
synth weaver spell, uses a spell slot equal to the
level the spell was cast at, and uses all of your
modifiers. You may sample spells currently being
concentrated on, or non-concentration spells
immediately after they are cast.
If a creature is using a spell that requires
concentration, you can copy that spell and begin to
cast it yourself by using a number of Hype points
equal to two times the level the spell was cast at.
You can maintain concentration and access to the
spell as long as the original creature you sampled
the spell from holds their concentration on the
sampled spell.
If a creature uses a non-concentration spell, you
can use Hype points equal to three times the level
the spell was cast at and a reaction immediately
after the spell is cast to copy and store it. You have
the spell stored for the next 10 minutes, after
which time the spell fades away. You may only
store one spell with this feature at a time.

BONUS HYPE
Because of your passive harmony with the Beat,
you can recognize rhythms of extra strength. At 6th
level you gain an additional Hype point. This
happens again at 12th level, 16th level, and once
more at 19th level.

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
BARS OF ADRENALINE
Beginning at 6th level, you can use bumping beats
or uplifting lyrical goodness to help boost your
allies. As an action you use your Hype points to
give all allies within 60 feet, that can hear you,
temporary hit points. Any ally can use one of their
hit dice, if they have one available to use; they add
that roll plus a number of Hype points (minimum
of 1) you use, to gain temporary hit points equal to
the total. This consumes their hit die in the process.
The temporary hit points last a number of rounds
equal half your synth weaver level + your
Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 round). Once you
use this ability, you cannot use it again until you
have finished a short or long rest.
DROP THE BASS
Beginning at 6th level you gain the ability to sync
your rhythm to that of your allies. As a reaction,
when an ally hits a target with a ranged or melee
attack, you can use 2 Hype points to bring the blow
down with added force. Both you and your ally roll
a d6, if the numbers rolled match, then the ally’s
attack is considered a critical hit. You can use this
feature a number of times equal to your Charisma
modifier (minimum of once) before finishing a long
rest. The die used to sync your rhythm changes to
a to a d4 at 12th level and is automatic at 16th level.
You cannot target yourself with this action. If
you target an unwilling creature, they must make a
Charisma saving throw versus your spell save DC.
The effect does not take place if they save, but one
use of this ability is still consumed.
MAGIC AMP
At 12th level you gain the ability to boost the
damage your magic does. You do this by synching
your rhythm to that of the magical essence of the
world and adding your own unique flourishes into
it. When using your instrument as a magical focus,
you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage
or healing of a spell. The damage is added after all
normal bonuses are applied to the spell. This only
works for offensive or healing spells and does not
affect duration, range, or casting times.
At 16th level you may add an additional +1 to the
damage or healing done by spells cast this way, at
the cost of 1 hype point each. At 19th level this
changes to an additional +2 to the damage or
healing done by spells cast this way, at the cost of 1
hype point each. You can use this feature a number
of times equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a long rest.
 HYPE WAVE
At 12th level you can choose to grant Hype points to
assist more than one ally at a time. When using
synth weaver Hype, you can choose up to two allies
to receive the Hype points simultaneously. The
chosen creatures must gain Hype points equally,
draining you an equal amount of Hype points for
each creature. This feature takes an action.
At 16th level this increases to up to three allies
and three uses. At 19th level this increases to up to
five allies and five uses. You can only target as
many allies as you have uses of Synth Weaver
Hype for and that your points permit.

take actions or reactions until the start of your next
turn. At 12th level, you simply fall prone.
While dancing, you can make attacks with any
weapon you are proficient with or with unarmed
strikes. At 12th level you can attack twice with
proficient weapons or unarmed strikes using this
action.

Beat Breaker
Beat breakers reject the Beat of the World and
supplant their own rhythms into the world. They
are often scorned for the disharmony they create
within the universe. Wherever beat breakers use
their abilities, the world around it becomes weaker,
succumbing more easily to sickness or disease. It
requires a great bit of fortitude to disrupt the
harmony of the world, but even Beat Breakers
eventually succumb to the discord they create. Old
Beat Breakers are jagged and hard, their harsh
lifestyle refining them into compacted resilience.

BEAT-BOXING
When you choose this style at 3rd level, your
staccato dancing style becomes its own beguiling
offence and defense. While you are wearing no
armor or shields, your AC equals 10 + your
Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.
Your unarmed strikes do 1d4 damage. This
increases to 1d6 at 12th level, and again to 1d8 at
19th level. By using 1 Hype point, the attack is
considered magical for the purposes of
overcoming resistances. Additionally, you gain +1 to
unarmed attacks and damage if using Hype points.
This includes attacks made with the Breakdancing
Beat-Down feature.

BREAKDANCING BEAT-DOWN
When you choose this style at 3rd level, you can use
a bonus action to begin an aggressive and skillful
dance to attack enemies around you. This dance
activates all of your body and sends you into an
unpredictable spiral of defenses and feints until the
start of your next turn. No opportunity or flanking
attacks can be made against you with advantage
while using the feature. However, if any attack rolls
you make while using this feature are a 1, you fall
prone and are stunned until the start of your next

beats to blast away the forces of magic. When

other than touch, you can use your reaction and
Hype points equal to the level the spell is cast at to
half the damage dealt. If a spell requires a saving
throw to take half damage, you instead take no
damage on a successful one and only half on a
failed one. You can use this feature after making a
saving throw but before you know the result.
At 12th level you can use Hype points equal to 2
x the level the spell is cast at to completely
disperse the spell, negating all damage and effects
to yourself.
At 19th level you can use Hype points equal to 3
x the level the spell was cast at to blast a spell
back at the caster. The caster then must make a
Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC,
taking the full damage on a failed save or half as
much on a successful one.
You can use this feature a number of times
equal to your Dexterity modifier (minimum of
once) before finishing a long rest.
EXTRA BOP
At 6th level, you can take advantage of the
momentum the Beat grants you to make one last
twirl. If you have over half your maximum Hype
points remaining, you can use a reaction to make
one unarmed attack immediately after using the
Breakdancing Beat-Down feature.

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
WHITE NOISE
Starting at 12th level, you can cause a small
discordant field around you that blocks certain
frequencies. As a reaction, you can spend 1 Hype
point to become resistant to a type of damage until
the start of your next turn. The damage type you
are resistant to is chosen once you finish a short or
long rest; choose between these damage types:
force, lightning, psychic, or thunder. When you
reach 16th level, you are immune rather than
resistant to the damage type. At 19th level, you can
choose two damage types, instead of one.
TAKE BACKS
At 12th level, you can force the Beat into breaking
into more usable chunks. You regain 1 Hype point
for every three you expend or give to an ally.
DIRTY DANCING
At 16th level, you can end your dancing with a
powerful flourish. If you use Breakdancing Beat-
Down, you can use a reaction to cast any spell, with
a 1 action, bonus action, or reaction casting time,
immediately after the attack by expending a spell
slot and Hype points equal to the level the spell is
cast at. You may not cast spells above their original
spell level by using this feature.

SUB-CLASSES
Most traditional classes from other universes have
a Retroverse version that is heavily influenced by
the cartoonish nature of this reality. This is a
sampling of some of those sub-classes but is by no
means a comprehensive list of possibilities.
BARBARIAN PATH OF THE
TECHNO VIKING
The path of the techno viking is one paved with
long hair, guitar riffs, and blood. Rather than keep
their fury to themselves, they can spread it to
others. A single techno viking can turn an entire
party into raving savages, crushing any who stand
in their way. Like a synth weaver, they are in touch
with the Beat of the World, just to a lesser degree.
The damage dice increases to 1d8 at 6th level,
1d10 at 10th level, and 1d12 at 14th level.
Additionally, you become proficient with the
Performance skill, or double your proficiency if
you already are proficient.
RIP AND TEAR
Starting at 6th level, whenever you grapple an
enemy, you can use a reaction to hurt the enemy
you have grappled. This attack automatically hits
but the enemy can make another check to escape
your grapple after taking damage from this
feature. If you have a species ability that allows
you to bludgeon, bite, or claw the opponent, you
can use that attack. Otherwise, it is considered an
unarmed attack as you bludgeon, bite, or claw at
the grappled foe.

RAVE
When you choose this path at 3rd level,
you Rage changes in some key ways.
Tapping into the Beat changes your rage
ability in these ways.
• You have advantage on Dexterity
checks and Dexterity saving throws in
addition to Strength.
• When you make a melee weapon attack
using Strength or Dexterity, you choose to gain
the rage bonus, to the attack or damage roll,
that increases as you gain levels as a
barbarian, as shown in the Rage Damage
column of the barbarian table. Additionally, you
can use your reaction to add the rage bonus to
any Strength or Dexterity saving throws.
• You gain +2 to your AC as long as you are
not wearing heavy armor.
• Your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 + your
Strength modifier bludgeoning damage.

MUSICAL SKILL
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level,
you gain proficiency with one instrument of your
choice. You can use this instrument as a weapon
as well. It deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier
bludgeoning damage and you are proficient with
the attack. Each time you attack with the weapon,
you must make a Constitution saving throw (using
your ability modifier) for your instrument (DC 5),
breaking the instrument on a failure. The DC
increases by +1 for every attack you make with
the instrument, until the start of your next turn.

133
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 JAMMER SLAMMER
Starting at 6th level, when you are raging and hit
a creature with a musical instrument, the sound
reverberates into you allies and grants a bonus to
those within 30 feet that heard the sound. Until
the start of your next turn, allied creatures have
+1 to attack and damage rolls made against that
creature.
You can use this feature as many times as you
like within a single rage but can only use it during
a single rage before finishing a short or long rest.
MOSH
Beginning at 10th level, you can use a bonus
action to bestow or impose some of your rage
upon another creature. Choose a creature within 5
feet and punch them. This is not intended to cause
serious damage and, as long as the creature does
not resist, they will only take 1 bludgeoning
damage from the attack. If they do not wish to be
hit you can still make an unarmed attack against
them, dealing damage normally on a hit.
Once they have taken the damage, they
become empowered by your ferocious energy and
gain the same rage bonus to their Strength based
damage rolls that you receive. If they are
concentrating on a spell, they lose that
concentration. This bonus lasts until your current
rage ends.
You may bestow this bonus to 2 creatures. This
increases to 4 creatures at 14th level and again to
6 creatures at 20th level.
BEAT SABER
At 14th level, you can create a weapon made out
of pure musical energy when you begin to rage.
This weapon can be any melee weapon you are
proficient with, including your musical instrument.
The weapon glows bright light in a 30-foot radius
and dim light 30 feet beyond that. It deals thunder
damage and lands a critical hit on a 19 or 20. Once
per rage, if you roll a 1 on an attack roll with this
weapon, you can use a your reaction to attempt to
get yourself back on beat, rerolling the attack and
using the new number instead. For each
consecutive hit you make with this weapon during
a single rage, the damage the weapon deals
increases by +1 (to a maximum of +10), resetting if
you miss an attack or your rage ends. The weapon
dissipates when your rage ends.

BARD COLLEGE OF METAL
Many bards obtain their magic by creating
harmonious echoes of melodious powers greater
than themselves. But they often do so with tools
and instruments barely more powerful than a
whisper. That’s where you and they differ, because
your electric echoes are a thunderclap in the
cosmos. You have learned how to infuse your
melodic intent with raw electricity, creating a loop
of ever-increasing intensity. The first bards to do
this eventually had such a buildup of energy that
they ascended into godhood, the resulting musical
explosion forever changing the concepts of music
and magic as we know it. Given enough time and
power, you too could become a god of metal.
INSPIRING FLASH
At 3rd level you can draw upon epic moments of
conflict to revitalize your bardic strength. When
you or an ally within 30 feet land a critical hit on an
enemy, you can use your reaction to pull energy
from the moment, regaining an expended use of
Bardic Inspiration. You can use this feature a
number of times equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a long rest. You
cannot use this feature to gain extra uses of Bardic
Inspiration, only to replace expended uses.
GENRE SPELLS
When you choose this school at 3rd level, you must
also choose a genre to specialize in. Though you
may dabble in other genres, your primary powers
come from a single type of metal music. You
immediately unlock access to whatever 1st level
spell and cantrip is associated with your genre. As
you gain levels in this class, additional genre spells
will be unlocked at 3rd, 6th, and 14th level. You can
cast these spells using a spell slot or you can use
your musical prowess to inspire reality to cast
them for you. By spending a number of uses of
Bardic Inspiration equal to the level of the spell you
are casting, you can cast any of the genre spells
you have unlocked without expending a spell slot.
You cannot cast a spell higher than its original
level by using Bardic Inspiration, except by using
the To 11 feature.
This list is only a sampling of genre possibilities.

and is infused with the power of your thrashing

immediately and can choose one of the following
options. These options do not count against their
actions this round as your power causes time itself
to distort around them.
• Make a single attack against a target in
range.
• Use the dash, dodge, or disengage option.
• Use a spell with a casting time of 1 action
or 1 bonus action that does not require
concentration.
You can choose as many creatures as you have
uses of Bardic Inspiration for as part of this action.
You must finish a long rest before using this

CLERIC: DOMAIN OF ACTION
A cleric of action is called on by their god, not just
to be their champion, but to be a star. Their goal is
to spread the teachings of their deities by
becoming as famous as possible. Their relationship
is more like that of a director and actor, than that
of a cleric and divine patron. The director may be
demanding and overbearing, stressing over the
tiniest details of your life. In contrast, some
directors place great faith in their actors, allowing
more improvisation than their script may call for.
Whatever they are like, your goal is almost always
the same: make as many stories with your name in
them as possible.
CHOOSING A DEITY
Any god may choose to have a cleric of action. The
powers normally associated with a god’s
pantheons are pushed to the side, in favor of
abilities that increase the possibility of their cleric
becoming a worldwide sensation. Many gods have
clerics of action, but few of these clerics ever rise
above C-tier celebrity status. Those clerics that
wrestle the spotlight onto them use their platform
to spread their faith onto their fans. In this way,
even unknown deities can see a huge surge in
followers, if their cleric of action happens to
become popular enough.

while disguised by the Disguise Self spell.
CHANNEL DIVINITY: FAN SERVICE
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel
Divinity to call on the love of your fans to boost
you and your party. As an action, present your holy
symbol. An ethereal representation of a crowd of
fans is summoned and follows within 30 feet of
you for the next minute. They cannot be directly
interacted with but will respond to you and your
ally’s actions with cheers or jeers.
At the end of each of your turns, their revelry
will grant a boon to your party. Roll on the Fan
Service table to determine the assistance your
party will receive. Creatures affected by the table
must be within 30 feet of you and anything that
targets only one creature has the target
determined by the GM. Any spells or attacks use
your stats.

8 An enemy creature has disadvantage on their next attack roll.
SCRIPT PREVIEW
At 2nd level, you can call on your deity to give you a
sneak peak of what is coming next. As an action,
choose a creature you can see within 60 feet. Your
god will let you know the creature’s intent for their
next turn. You will not know their exact
movements, just what they plan to accomplish.
Based on the situation, they may change their

At 8th level, you can bolster your power by
calling upon the performances of action clerics

add your Charisma modifier to the damage
of any attack you make.

SEQUEL
At 17th level, you can pull some power from the
past to recast a spell you just cast on your
last turn. As an action, you can recast a
single spell from your last turn without
expending a spell slot. Make a Charisma
check (DC 10) to determine if this sequel
was better or worse than the original. On a
success, you either gain advantage on the
spell attack roll or impose disadvantage
on the target’s saving throws against

have disadvantage on the spell

ENHANCED DECAY
When you reach 6th level in this circle, you have
become so well versed with corruption that you
can channel it, if not exert some minor control over
it. While you are in your Wild Shape form, you can
use a bonus action to expend one spell slot to add
1d6 Necrotic damage, per level of the spell slot
expended, to a single attack. This attack also inflicts
corruption against the target, forcing a saving
throw against corruption. If the spell slot used is 4 th
level or higher, the target’s corruption saving throw
is made with disadvantage.
Additionally, if you gain a layer of corruption,
you may choose a corruption effect that is one
number higher or lower on the corruption table.

UNSTABLE EVOLUTION
At 10th level, when you use your Wild Shape ability,
you may choose a third beast or monstrosity, with
a CR of ½ or lower, to add to your creation. This
follows the exact rules for combining two

When you use this feature, you immediately gain
one layer of corruption.

 FIGHTER: PATH OF THE
WRESTLER
Not every fighter within the Retroverse desires
combat of blood and blades. Some choose to test
their mettle against their opponents in a contest of

WRESTLING MOVES
There are 3 types of wrestling moves: Aerials,
Attacks, and Throws. When you choose this path at
3rd level, you may choose any two moves from any
group. They are considered a standard attack and
as such, you may use multiple wrestling moves
within a turn so long as you have extra attacks to
be used. You add your Wrestling Ability modifier to
the damage of each Wrestling Move, unless
otherwise stated. You can choose two additional
moves from any group at 7th level, and again at
10th, 15th, and 18th level. You are proficient with any
move that you choose, and you add your Wrestling
ability modifier to the attack, grapple, and damage
rolls made with these attacks. These attacks only
affect creatures of large size or smaller until you
reach 7th and 18th level in this class.
While it is possible for a wrestler to perform
these moves without having them as part of their
set, only moves within their set have been
mastered. Using a move and understanding every
intracity of that move are two different things. If a
wrestler uses a move that is not part of their move
set, it is simply considered an unarmed strike and
gains no additional benefits. Most moves have
several variations but mechanically will work
the same way, unless specifically stated
by your GM. The moves provided are
by no means a complete list of
every move imaginable; work
with your GM to discover new
techniques your character
may be able to use.
Some of your Wrestling Moves
require the target to make a saving
throw to resists the move’s effects.
The effects only take place if the
attack hits the target. The saving throw is
calculated as follows:
Wrestling Move save DC = 8 + your Wrestling
Ability modifier + your proficiency bonus
PINNING
After making a successful grapple against a target,
you may use another attack action to make an
additional grapple check. If successful, the target is
pinned and you are both restrained until you end
the effect or the target escapes your grapple.
 AERIALS
These moves require you to expend at least 15 feet
of your movement to jump off of something,
leaping towards the target. The object you jump
from can be anything of sufficient stability such as
a barrel, wall, table, arena ropes, or a creature. You
can jump off an enemy or resistant creature by
making an Athletics or Acrobatics check that

attacks against you for this movement, but a
failure will consume 15 more feet of your move
action and leave you within 5 feet of the creature
you attempted to spring off of. The additional
effects of these attacks only take place if the initial
attack hits. Attacks made that miss by 5 or more
result in you suffering 1d6 bludgeoning damage as
you fall.
Diving Crossbody: From the air, you stretch your
body flat and attempt to flop onto your opponent,
pushing them to the ground. This attack does 1d8
bludgeoning damage. Additionally, you can use a
bonus action immediately to make a grapple attack
against the same opponent. On a success, they are
grappled and prone.
Diving Elbow or Knee Drop: From the air, you
extend your body sideways and put your arm up,
forcing all the effort of this attack into your elbow.

dealing 1d12 bludgeoning damage. If the opponent
is prone, this attack deals 2d12 bludgeoning
damage on a hit.
Diving Typhoonarana: From the air, you wrap
your legs around your opponent and fling your
weight around, throwing them in a direction of
your choosing. This attack deals 2d6 bludgeoning

Constitution saving throw, being thrown a
direction of your choosing 10 feet on a success, or
20 feet on a failure.
Diving Leg Drop: From the air, you extend your
leg out and force all your effort to slam it against
your opponent. This attack deals 1d8 bludgeoning
damage. Additionally, they must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or lose the ability to use
reactions until the start of their next turn.
Diving Stomp: From the air, you extend both of
your legs and attack at such an angle to force
them to the ground. This attack deals 1d10
bludgeoning damage. Additionally, the target must
succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be
knocked prone.

Flying Zombiestringer: From the air, you lock
your legs around an opponent’s head. Once there,
you fling your body backwards, doing a backflip
and forcing your opponent to go into the air and
then come crashing down to the ground beneath
you. This attack deals 2d8 bludgeoning damage
and knocks the target prone. You may immediately
use a bonus action to take a cheap shot at the
opponent, making an unarmed strike against them.
Shiranui: If the target is within 5 feet of
something you can jump from, you can grab their
neck, jump off the object, flip around behind then,
and slam them backwards onto the ground. This
attack deals 3d6 bludgeoning damage.
Shooting Star: From the air, you curl your body
into a ball and slam against the opponent. This
attack deals 1d8 bludgeoning damage. Additionally,
you may make an Athletics check (DC 15) to land in
a roll, moving up to 15 feet away from the
opponent at no cost to your movement for that
turn.
Aerial Splash: From the air, you extend your
body and bring your force down on your stomach,
slamming it against your target. The attack deals
1d10 bludgeoning damage. However, this attack
allows a lot of room for flair and can be amplified
with a bonus action. If you use a bonus action to
add flair to this move, you can add 1d10
bludgeoning damage to the damage roll.
ATTACKS
These are standard wrestling attacks that you may
make against your opponent. Some have
prerequisites before they may be used. All targets
must be within 5 feet of you when you strike them.
The additional effects only take place if you land
the initial attack.

1d6 bludgeoning damage.
Clothesline: You extend your arm at a target
coming towards you, or that you are running at
least 10 feet directly towards, and smash it against

 THROWS
These moves involve restraining, shuffling, and
otherwise moving your opponent against their will.
To use any of these moves, you must first make a
grapple attack against your opponent. If they are
successfully grappled, you can immediately use
one of these moves as part of that same attack
action. You do not need to make an additional
attack roll against the target if you have them
grappled as the throw is considered part of that
attack. Unless otherwise stated, your initial grapple
ends after the move is completed.
Atomic Drop: Stuffing your head low into an
opponent, you lift your body up straight, raising
your target, and then slam their groin, pelvis, or
equivalent down on your knee. This attack deals
2d6 bludgeoning damage and is a critical hit on a
19 or 20. Additionally, the target must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or have their movement
speed reduced by half until the end of their next
turn. If they fail the saving throw by 5 or more,
their movement speed is instead reduced to 0.

ground. This attack deals 1d12 bludgeoning
damage. Additionally, if the target can cast spells,
they must make a Constitution saving throw or
lose access to spell slots of a certain level until the
end of their next turn. To determine the spell slots
they lose access to, roll a d4 – 1. The resulting
number is the level of spell slots they lose access
to, with a 0 being cantrips. For example, the d4 roll
is a 2 – 1, meaning they cannot cast spells with a 1st
level spell slot until the end of their next turn.

action.
DDT: You put the opponent’s head under your

you may use a bonus action to immediately make
another additional unarmed attack against that
same opponent.
Fireman’s Carry Throw: After grabbing your
opponent, you lift them onto your sounders. From
there you have four options. Choose one of the
following:
• Throw your opponent 10 feet in a direction

Spinebuster: This move can only be used as a
reaction. You can attempt to grapple a charging

TAG OUT
Starting at 10th level, when you are at half your
total hit points or lower, you can call for help from
the spiritual realm of the wrestlers. Using your
action, you trade places with a spiritual
manifestation of a past wrester for 1 minute.
Although they are just a projection of the wresting
spirit, they have stats and skills exactly equal to
yours, with the exception of hit points, of which
they have 1. They can interact with the world just
the same as you and will act directly under your
will for the duration of this effect. When they are
reduced to 0 hit points, or the effect ends, you will
be called back onto this plane and they will be sent
back to the wrester’s spiritual realm. While in the
spiritual place of wrestler’s past, you gain all the
effects of a short rest. In addition, you may ask one
question of the wrestling residents for each of your
turns you start there, including the turn in which
you used this feature. You may not always receive
an answer or the correct answer to your question
as the residents may not know the information you
seek.
No spells or curses you have cast upon you can

maximum cannot be increased, even with
temporary hit points. Conversely, no spells, effects,
or damage are transferred onto your body if they
are inflicted upon your spiritual partner, including
damage that would normally roll over to you if
they are reduced to 0 hit points. You may use this
feature once before finishing a long rest. At 15th
level you may use this feature twice before
finishing a long rest.
Additionally, at this level you gain +2 to attack
and damage rolls made with unarmed attacks,
grapples, wrestling moves, and improvised
weapons and those attacks are considered magical
for the purposes of overcoming resistances. This
represents both your fans adoration or ire and
your growing connection to the spiritual wrestling

on any saving throws against
additional effects of the attack. You
can use this ability a number of times
equal to your Wrestling Ability
modifier (minimum of once) before
finishing a long rest.
At this level you also gain +3 to
attack and damage rolls made with
unarmed attacks, grapples,
wrestling moves, and
improvised weapons and those
attacks are considered magical
for the purposes of overcoming
resistances.
 FURY-FU MONK
Unlike other monks that dedicate their lives to
mastering their bodies and minds, you received
the bulk of your abilities in a strange accident. In a
great time of stress, you were visited by a magical
fury-fu spirit and struck by a bolt of pure magical
ether. In an instant, you received a lifetime of
martial arts training and mutated into a being of
refined fury-fu. You became no mere monk; you
became Master of Fury-Fu.
FURY-FU SPIRIT
The type of fury-fu spirit that has bonded you is
important to your character’s physical and
metaphysical abilities. The fury-fu spirit may guide
you through dreams and visions. It may ask you to
complete certain tasks, threatening to take away
its magical boons if you disobey. It may even
choose not to interfere at all, simply granting you
its power and watching the action from afar. Work
with your GM to determine the full extent of your
fury-fu spirit’s involvement in your life.
NEW KNOWLEDGE
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, there
is a wealth of knowledge imparted on you. You
gain proficiency with Animal Handling and Land
Vehicles. Additionally, you gain proficiency with
one martial or simple ranged weapon of your
choice; this weapon can count as a monk weapon
if you choose.
FURY-FU SPIRIT BOONS
When you were visited by your fury-fu spirit at
3rd level, you became intertwined with its power.
Choose from the fury-fu spirit below. Each spirit
gives you a passive boon and an active boon.
Active boons cost ki points to use while passive
boons can be used with no cost or are constantly
active. This is just a few of the fury-fu spirits that
could exist, work with your GM to determine if
there are more available.

NOT ALONE
Though you may be a martial arts master, that
does not stop people from trying to reach your
level. The problem with being at the top is all the
others that wish to take your place. Many will
simply never reach your prowess, but there is no
rule saying you are the only fury-fu master.

an ally within 5 feet of you advantage on a single
ranged attack roll they are making.
Active Boon: You can blast laser bolts from your
kicks and punches using 1 ki point. Anytime you
would be able to make an unarmed strike, you can

long rest.
Active Boon: When a creature hits you with an
attack, you can use 3 ki points to burst into a
swarm of bees and move up to 15 feet in any
direction as a reaction, reforming in the nearest

throw against your Ki save DC, taking 1d6 + your
Dexterity modifier piercing and 1d6 poison
damage on a failed save or half as much on a
successful one.

fu spirit may just as quickly kill you as give you
powers, both options being equal to their
incomprehensible logic. Your fighting style mimics
this chaos.

but +1 to per level of corruption you have to any
saving throw you are proficient with.
Active Boon: If you have a layer of corruption,

poison energy. For each 3 ki points spent, you can

other evil ideals describe these fury-fu Spirits.
Winning at any cost and brutality are their
priorities in combat.

grappled by an ally, incapacitated, prone, or
restrained, attacks made with your monk weapon
and unarmed strikes are considered critical hits on
a 18 - 20.

attack, you can spend 2 ki points and use your
reaction to make a single unarmed strike against
them. The attack deals an additional 1d6 fire
damage.
DRAGON
A scaled being of powerful magic, and they know
it. Representing sophistication and honor in
combat, but not above using a sneaky trick or two
to get the upper hand.
Passive Boon: Draconic power grants you
advantage on saving throws to resist either acid,
cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage. You can
choose a different damage type each time you
finish a long rest.
Active Boon: By spending 2 ki points, claws

strike damage to slashing until the start of your
next turn. These strikes deal an additional +2 of
the damage type of your passive boon and +4
damage to reptiles.
EAGLE
This bird represents the freedom the sky provides.
Seeing the battlefield from a higher perspective
grants unique opportunities for attacking from
afar.

don’t represent much, and they intend to keep it
that way.
Passive Boon: You have advantage on saving
throw against being knocked prone or restrained.
Active Boon: When making an unarmed strike,
you can spend 1 ki point to stretch your limbs,
extending the attack by 5 feet. If the attack is a
critical hit, you can choose to grapple medium
sized or smaller creatures, dragging them to you
as part of the same attack.
GLASS SHADOW
Reaching from inside a mirrored reality, the glass
shadow represents the hunger for freedom and
identity. Living as someone’s shadow will never be
enough.
Passive Boon: You can spend 1 minute
concentrating on a mirror to briefly link it to
another mirror you have touched before. You can
see through the linked mirror as if it were a
window and creatures on the other side see the
same. The effect lasts for 1 minute. You can use
this feature once before finishing a short or long
rest.
Active Boon: You can use a ki point to travel
between reflective surfaces within 60 feet of each
other, that you can see, instantly as your
movement, appearing in the nearest unoccupied
space next to the surface. You can use this boon a
number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a long rest.
The surfaces do not need to be highly reflective or
able to give accurate reflections, just enough to
distinguish yourself in them. You can increase the
range by 30 feet for each additional ki point you
use.
You can use 10 ki points to combine this with
your passive ability and step through a linked
mirror anywhere on your current plane.

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)

turns.

attack roll against the new target.
SHARK

conflict and bloodshed simply for the thrill of it.
This style have survived far longer than others, a

your base speed and can breathe underwater. You

number of targets equal to your Wisdom modifier
(minim of one) before finishing a short or long
rest.

This dinosaur represents slow patience and
wisdom. Its physical strength is only bolstered by
an inner strength that stands as a force of its own.
Passive Boon: You gain proficiency with the
Persuasion skill or double your proficiency bonus
with it if you are already proficient. When you
make an unarmed strike against a creature, you
can use a bonus action to attempt to grapple
them.
Active Boon: When making a ranged attack
with your monk weapon, you can spend 1 ki point
to turn the attack into a critical hit on a 19 or 20. If
you use this ability and the attack is a critical hit,

saving throw against your Ki save DC or become
stunned until the start of their next turn.

cannot affect the streak and lose this benefit if

unconscious, or roll a 1 on an ability check, attack

SMOOTH RECOVERY
At 7th level, you can fudge a failure to make it seem
like you intended to do it that way, saving face and
your streak. If you fail a roll and would lose your
streak, you can use a bonus action to reroll. If the
new roll would have succeeded, you keep your
streak but are still unsuccessful in whatever you
were attempting to do. However, if the second dice
roll is a 20, you do succeed, though the success
will happen in an unconventional way. You can use

can add your Charisma modifier to any ability

uses the Charisma modifier. You can add the
modifier a number of times equal to your Charisma

RANGER: DREAM CHAMPION
There are many battlegrounds across the
multiverse, but one remains a constant through
them all, the Dream Plane. A realm comprised of a
mixture of wild imagination, incomprehensible
logic, and unspeakable terrors; it is a constant
presence wherever there are creatures dreaming.
This is your chosen battlefield, the realm to which
you pay homage. In a multiverse of impossible
worlds, there is still nothing that compares to the
vast wilds that await you in the dreams of one
creature, much less the collective from which you
draw your energy. But for all its wonder, there are
dark evils that claw at the edges of everything. If
you can travel from the waking world to the
sleeping, what other things might sneak in with
your shadows?
MIND STRIDE
At 3rd level you have begun to tap into the Plane of
Dreams and can briefly move in and out of it. You
can use your movement to warp between allied
creatures within 60 feet of each other. You must
first spend 1 hour presiding over the ally as they
dream, memorizing their dream signals. You can
attune to a number of allied creatures equal to
your proficiency bonus. You can willingly forget
another creature and learn another’s patterns by
the same process. The distance increases to 120
feet at 7th level, 10 miles at 11th level, and anywhere
on the same plane at 15th level. You can use this
feature once before finishing a long rest.
Additionally, you gain Dreams as another type
of your favored terrain.
SUPER SLEEP
At 3rd level, you can try to pull others to sleep with
you. As an action, you can cast the Sleep spell
without expending a spell slot. Doing so renders
you unconscious until the start of your next turn.
You can choose to extend the duration of your
unconsciousness when you use this feature to a
number of turns equal to your Wisdom modifier
(minimum of one). The level the Sleep spell is cast
at increases for each turn you choose to spend
unconscious. If awoken before this effect is
supposed to end, the spell and its effects are also
ended. You can use this feature once before
finishing a long rest.
 155
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 DREAM ENERGY
At 7th level, you can easily enter a dream state
while taking a short rest. During this time, you can
draw on the energy of the Dream Plane to do one
of the following:
• Heal double the amount per hit dice
expended.
• Recover a combined number of spell slots
equal to half your proficiency bonus
(rounded down).
• You cast Mage Armor on yourself without
expending a spell slot.
• Gain a premonition about the future by
casting Augury without expending a spell
slot.
• Remove 1 level of exhaustion from yourself.
• Become immune to psychic damage for the
next hour.
You can only use each ability once before finishing
a long rest.
NIGHTMARE WARRIOR
At 11th level you have become so like a dream that
you are sometimes indistinguishable from one.
When making melee attack, instead of striking
physically, you can force the target to make a
Wisdom saving throw against your Spell Save DC
for each use of your attack action. On a failure, you
invade their mind and attack it directly, dealing
psychic damage as if you had hit them with a
melee attack. Additionally, if they fail the saving
throw, you gain insight on their next moves and any
attacks made against you on their next turn are
made with disadvantage. You can use this feature a
number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a short or long
rest.
LUCID BATTLEGROUND
At 11th level you are so infused with dream energy
that you can extend it to others around you and
bring them into other’s dreams. Touch a sleeping
creature, they must succeed on a Wisdom saving
throw versus your spell save DC or have their
dreams opened to you (willing creatures do not
have to save). You can then touch a number of
other willing creatures equal to your Wisdom
modifier (minimum of one) to take with you into
the dreamer’s mind. The effect last for 1 hour or
until the target is awoken by something outside the
dream, though time in the Dream Plane does not
always sync with time outside it.
While in this realm, all damage is converted into

psychic damage. Creatures who die in this place are
immediately removed from the plane, drop to 0 hit
points in the outside world, and must immediately
begin making death saving throws. While here, you
alone have advantage on all saving throws. Though
you and your allies behave the same way as you
would while awake, the dreamer may have more or
less power in this realm, depending on their mental
fortitude. You and your allies can not exert more
power in this realm than you can in the waking
world, but the dreamer may be able to shift reality
to a limited degree. If the dreamer dies, you are
removed from the dream and the effect ends. You
can use this feature to enter your own dreams. All
creatures inside the dream are unconscious in the
waking world.
You may use this feature once before finishing a
long rest.
DREAMING DANCE
At 15th level, your body does not immediately shut
down while unconscious. If you are unconscious or
sleeping, even at 0 hit points (but not outright
dead) you can still move and act. Your actions in
this state are limited. Your movement speed is
halved, you can take a single bonus action, action,

for the duration. You cannot cast spells that require
verbal components as your speech is impossibly
distorted. You can use items, so long as they do not
require magical words or the ability to see. The
effect begins automatically if you fall asleep, fall
unconscious, or if disturbed during a long rest. It
ends if you wake up (which you can do freely if not
at 0 hit points), if you die, after 1 minute, or if you
are at 0 hit points and regain any. This effect is
considered a short rest if you stay in this state for 1
minute and are not at 0 hit points when it ends.
You must finish a long rest before using this
feature again.

ROGUE: ETHER VANDAL
Ether Vandals are a unique type of rogue, typically
drawn in by the desire for freedom of expression
and youthful rebellion. They can tap into the magic
around them through their art and bombastic flair,
giving them abilities unlike other rogues. Their
abilities are often disruptive to more orderly ideals,
putting them at odds with most symbols of
authority.
MAGICAL GRAFFITI
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you
gain proficiency with painter’s supplies. You also
gain the ability to magically project paint from
places like the palm of your hands, fingertips, nose,
or other extremity of your choice and can use it to
create unique art. The paint can be projected up to
5 feet and allows you to quickly create small
magical runes, called G-Sigils, to use in combat or
mix into your regular art.
GRAFFITI BURST
At 3rd level, you can weave terrible destructive
magic into your art. Using your action, you can
create a work of art that is a max of 5 feet by 5
feet. For the next 12 hours, you can mentally
command the art to activate, setting off a 30-foot
explosion centered on the art, forcing a Dexterity
save on all creatures within the area. The explosion
deals elemental damage equal to that of a Sneak
Attack + 2d6 on a failed save, or half as much on a
successful one. The damage types can be fire,
force, lightning, or thunder and are chosen when
the art is created. It deals double damage to
objects and structures which automatically fail the
save. You can use this feature once before finishing
a long rest.

G-SIGILS
The following is a list of effects the G-sigils can
have. You may only have 5 G-Sigils active at a time,
with the oldest one becoming inert if you create a
new one. If tagging an unwilling creature, you must
make an attack roll using your Dexterity; you are
proficient with the attack. The G-Sigils are only
effective for 1 minute, losing any magical
properties after that time. You can use your action
to create 1 G-Sigil per turn at 3rd level, 2 at 9th level,
and 3 G-Sigils at 13th level. Some tags require a
saving throw to resist
G-Sigil save DC = 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your
proficiency bonus.
E-vayd: Tag a creature to grant advantage or
impose disadvantage on their next saving throw.
Ar-mail: Tag a creature to increase or decrease
its AC by 1. There is no cumulative bonus to
multiple instances of this tag on a single creature.
Re:gen: Tag a creature to boost its healing,
healing it by 1 hit point at the start of its turn,
unless it drops to 0 hit points. This tag can be used
multiple times on the same creature, to a
cumulative healing of 3 per turn though the effect
will end for all instances of the tag once the first
tag loses its effect.
Exe-plode: Tag a spot and cause a 15-foot
explosion by shouting the command word any time
within the duration. All creatures within range must
make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d4+ your
Dexterity modifier fire damage on a failed save, or
half as much on a successful one.
Re:sistor: Tag a creature to cause it to become
resistant or vulnerable to any one type of damage.
If they are immune they can only become resistant.
If they are resistant, they can become immune or
lose their resistance. If they are vulnerable you can
only make them non-vulnerable.
S10w: Tag a creature to reduce its movement
speed by half.
H0ld: Cause an inanimate object, no greater
than a 5-foot cube, to become immovable for the
duration of the G-Sigil.
Can-tr0p3n3r: You can cast a single cantrip
from the Wizard spell list. You know a number of
cantrips equal to your proficiency bonus. You can
spray this sigil on a fixed surface or on a creature,
activating the spell in whatever way it is required in
this way. Tagged creatures make any saving throws
against these cantrips with disadvantage. If a spell
requires a spell attack roll, the tag can count as
 158
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 that attack. Once you choose a spell, it cannot
be changed. These sigils follow the normal casting
times and limitations for spells on a single turn.
Iyz: You spray paint in the target’s eyes, blinding
them. They can make a Constitution saving throw,
at the end of each of their turns, negating the
effect on a success.
Sum-0n: You create a creature out of graffiti
that springs to life and fights for you. The creature
must be small sized and have a CR of 1 or less. It is
completely flat, has 1 hit point, and can travel as
the creature normally would or along whatever
surfaces it is painted on (following its normal
movement capabilities there as well). It can only
follow simple orders and vanishes once the G-Sigil
wears off.
See U: Tag a target to make them glow in a red
outline, even through non-magical surfaces.
Port-hole: You create a circle with a 2-foot
diameter. This circle is inert until you create a
corresponding circle no more than 60 feet away.
For the duration of the G-Sigil, creatures can walk
through one circle to come out of the other.
SPARK GRIND
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you
gain the ability to grind on improbable surfaces,
including paint laid down by you or other artists. By
channeling magic through your feet, you reduce
the friction they make on any surface, allowing you
to grid along its edges. You can use this ability at
will but can only ride along the edges of surfaces
(such as the edge of a roof), narrow rails (such as
smooth guard rails), or paint laid down by you or
other Ether Vandals. While grinding, your base
movement speed and jump length is doubled and
you cannot concentrate on spells. If you end a turn
while grinding, you must succeed on a Dexterity
saving throw (DC 5) or lose your concentration and
fall off whatever surface you were grinding on. For
each turn you end while grinding, the DC increases
by +2.
GRIND BURN
At 9th level, you can force the energy of your grind
into an attack. If attacking an enemy while grinding,
you can add 1d6 force damage to the attack.
Alternatively, you can store the grind energy and
release it in a single attack. For each turn you end
in a continuous grind, you add 1d6 force damage to
the next attack you make, to a max of 6d6. The
energy dissipates immediately when you stop
grinding. You can choose to use the energy either
159
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
partially or fully, but you cannot use this ability
again after expending all 6d6 of the energy until
you finish a short rest.
GRAFFITI MASTER
At 13th level you gain the ability to create your art
on any surface. You can use your Magical Graffiti
skill to paint on surfaces like water, lava, and even
into the air. Creations made in this way last a
number of hours equal to your Intelligence
modifier (minimum of one)..
If you are using this ability combined with the
Spark Grind ability to move in the air, you can only
move up or down on a single turn a number of feet
equal to half your base movement speed.
ART IMITATES LIFE
At 17th level you and your art have become one in
the same. As a reaction to an attack or a spell or
effect that requires a Dexterity or Constitution
saving throw, you can meld into any surface within
5 feet of you, appearing as a stylistic art
representation of yourself. You can then move up
to half your movement speed in any direct along
the surface or other surfaces touching it and
through cracks at least 1 inch wide. During this
move, you can make one G-Sigil, even if you have
expended all of your previous uses. Once you have
stopped moving, you immediately appear in the
nearest unoccupied space. Unless the initial attack
or effect has an area of effect that you are still
inside of, the spell or attack is negated. If you are
still inside the area of effect, you make the relevant
saving throw with advantage, taking half damage
on a failed save and no damage on a successful
one. You can use this feature as a reaction once
before finishing a short or long rest.
Additionally, you can use this effect as an action,
having full use of your movement until the end of
your turn. If done in this way, you cannot make
attacks, cast spells, and may only create one G-Sigil
on your turn. While in this form, any damage you
take from non-magical attacks is halved. When
your turn ends, or when you decide to, you appear
in the nearest unoccupied space from where you
moved to. Exiting in a space that is too small for
you will deal 6d6 force damage to you and move
you to the nearest unoccupied space. You can use
this feature in this way a number of times equal to
your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once)
before finishing a short or long rest.

MUSCLE SORCERER
Spells books? Unearthly pacts? Divine
intervention? These things are for those who don’t
understand the arcane understanding comes from
an understanding of your well-toned body,
understanding that true power comes from
understanding muscles, that mighty magic comes
from a mighty core. Magic is not a thing to be
learned or begged for, magic is something you
bully out of the universe, no matter how the
universe feels about it. As a muscle sorcerer, you
have unlocked the secret to bending nature to your
whim from the proper flex of your immaculate,
rippling form.
METAMAGIC
SPELL SIPHON
When you cast a spell that deals damage, and any
of the damage dice are equal to your hit dice, you
can use 1 sorcery point to regain hit points equal to
the lowest number rolled. You can regain hit points
from multiple dice by using a number of sorcery
points equal to the number of dice you want to
regain hit points from, starting with the lowest
number rolled and moving upwards.
SMASHING SPELL
When you cast a spell, you can use 1 sorcery point
per level of the spell used to change some or all of
the damage dice to bludgeoning, piercing, or
slashing damage. This damage is still considered
magical for the purposes of overcoming
resistances.
DELAYED SPELL
When a creature is impacted by a spell, you can
spend 2 sorcery points per creature of your choice
to delay the effects of the spell for up to one
minute. The effect travels with them and cannot be
broken. Anytime during that minute, you can use a
reaction to release the effect of the spell on any
number of affected creatures. Not every creature
has to be affected by the initial casting and not
every delay must be released at the same time.
Alternatively, you can use this ability to set a
creature or object as the point of origin of a spell,
releasing the spell anytime within the duration.
After one minute, any delayed effects are released.
If this ability is used in tandem with Subtle Spell, a
160
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw
against your spell save DC or be unaware that they
are loaded with the spell energy.
BLASTED SPELL
If you cast a spell that only targets one creature
and doesn’t have a range of self, you can use a
number of sorcery points equal to the level the
spell was cast at to broaden the spell into a small
burst of magic. The spell now requires a saving
throw, affecting any creature within a sphere with a
10-foot diameter. Creatures within the area take
half damage on a failed save and no damage on a
successful one, as the spell’s increased area
weakens its power. If the spell requires a saving
throw to resist an effect or condition, that saving
throw is made with advantage. Healing spells can
also be affected by this spell, healing half hit points
to all affected creatures.
STRANGE FLEX
Unlike other sorcerers, your magic comes from
physically forcing the magical ether to bend before
your might. You use your Strength, instead of
Charisma, whenever a spell refers to your
spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your
Strength modifier when setting the saving throw
DC for a sorcerer spell you cast and when making
an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Strength modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Strength modifier
Additionally, whenever a Metamagic option or
spell requires you to use your Charisma, you can
instead use your Strength. Your saving throw
proficiencies are now Strength and Constitution.
SPELLCASTING FOCUS
Your fists or feet can serve as an arcane focus,
depending on which one you primarily strike with.
CAST FIST
When you choose this sorcerous origin, you learn
the Mage Hand cantrip, if you do not already have
it. When you use this spell, you can strike with the
hand as if it were your own hand, as part of the
spell action. If the hand makes contact with an
enemy in this way, it disappears, and the spell ends
after dealing damage. Though the spell is designed
 for a hand, any extremity you may make an save DC and spell attack modifier. You can use a

of your power.
MIGHTY MAGIC
At 6th level you can weave spell magic into your
attacks, focusing their origin on the point of impact.
Spells with a casting time of 1 action or bonus
action, and with a range of touch or which require
you to make a spell attack roll, can be used in
tandem with an unarmed strike. In this case, make
an unarmed strike against the target. On a hit, the
target takes the damage from the unarmed strike
and is affected by the spell and the spell deals 1
additional damage dice to the primary target (if
applicable). This increases to 2 additional damage
dice at 14th level and to 3 additional damage dice at
18th level.
At 14th level, you can use spells that require a
saving throw in this way as well. On a hit, the
primary target makes the saving throw with
disadvantage and is subjected to the extra damage.
A missed attack will still release the spell but with
no additional effects. If a spell you cast would
require you to make a Dexterity saving throw due
to its area of effect, you make the saving throw
with disadvantage. At 18th level you no longer roll
against spells you cast in this way with
disadvantage and take only half damage from a
failed save or no damage on a successful one.

MUSCLE BOOST
At 14th level, you have gained the ability to weave
the magic of the universe into your muscles,
further boosting your abilities. At the start of your
turn, you can increase your Strength score by 1 (to
a maximum of 30) for each sorcery point you use
for this ability. The augmented Strength score
remains until the end of your next turn. Changes to
your Strength score are also reflected in your spell

WARLOCK: CORPORATE
OVERLORD PATRON
Many warlocks are known for making deals with
unknowable fiends and literal devils, but few tread
the dark depths you dare to go. The corporate
overlords, leaders of industry and barons of
resources, deal in unspeakable evils. Their massive
power trickles down to you, a pittance you receive
for your very soul. Why would anyone align with
such vile corruption, why would one partake in
their sinful structures, why would you sign across
that dotted line?
The corporations are often represented by a
lovable mascot, by which the worlds know them.
You know the true aspects of these mascots but
report to them all the same. Storefronts and
corporate headquarters are akin to churches to
you. Art featuring the mascot’s likeness will often
speak as an avatar for the corporation’s wishes to
you. Their instructions are reliably confusing or
immoral and there is no lenience on those
contractors who fail to fulfill these orders.
Obedience and peak efficiency are the qualities
your masters expect. Time is money, money is
power; you’re on the clock, get back to work.

PACT BOON: THE MANAGER
You gain an additional spell slot. Also, whenever a
spell you cast drops a hostile target’s hit points to
0, you regain a spent spell slot. You can regain a
number of spell slots equal to your Charisma
modifier (minimum of one) this way before
finishing a long rest.
The Corporation
Not all corporations are inherently evil, just most of
them. The pursuit of exponential growth is a
slippery slope, and many corporations can find
themselves at odds with their original vision. They
are highly concerned with your conduct, even in
your off time. Discretionary leeway is rare, and
their directives can sometimes be unclear or even
contradictory. When choosing your overlord,
consider their known objectives and exactly why
you would choose such a stringent path. Need for
structure, desperation, or fear of a rival corporation
are all easy examples of why you might sign your
life away in this way.
MICROMANAGE
Starting at 1st level, you can use your action to give
extremely detailed and unnecessary instructions to
an ally or foe. When doing this, you must decide if
these instructions are to be used on an ability
check, attack roll, or saving throw. Then the next
time the target makes an ability check, attack roll,
or saving throw (based on your choice), within the
next minute, they either add your proficiency bonus
(for allies) or subtract your proficiency bonus (for
enemies) to that roll. You can use this feature a
number of times equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of once) before finishing a long rest.
ASSOCIATE ASSISTANCE
At 6th level, you can call on your co-workers for a
boost. After you roll an ability check, attack roll, or
saving throw, you can use your reaction to choose
an ally within 60 feet of you to make the same roll,
and then use their roll instead. The ally applies any
of their own bonuses or penalties to the roll, even
if the same changes did not apply to your initial
roll. You can use this feature a number of times
equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of
once) before finishing a long rest.
 163
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 TIME TO LEAN
At 6th level, you can help clean up some issues
while you rest. During a short rest, you can cast
Lesser Restoration without using a spell slot. At 14th
level, you can cast either Lesser Restoration or
Greater Restoration without using a spell slot. You
can use this feature once before finishing a long
rest.
WORKFORCE
At 10th level, you can begin forcefully recruiting
creatures for employment by your patron. When a
creature is killed, you can copy their essence in a
gem worth a minimum of 50 gp. The creature
must have died within the last hour and you must
spend one uninterrupted minute performing this
hiring process. The target creature must make a
Wisdom saving throw against your Spell Save DC,
thwarting this feature on a successful save or
succumbing to your power on a failed one. When
the process is finished, whether successful,
resisted, or from being interrupted, the body is
mummified, and you cannot attempt this feature
again on it. You can employ a number of creatures
whose CR matches your Warlock level, with
creatures of a CR less than 1 counting as CR 1. Each
creature requires its own gem and the gem is
destroyed once the copy is released.
After the creature’s essence is copied, you can
use a bonus action to release it. They appear as a
glowing, ethereal version of themselves. They are
mentally linked to you and follow your commands
to the best of their abilities, taking their action on
your initiative. They have access to any abilities
they knew in life but cannot speak or cast spells. If
not given instructions, they will only defend
themselves, taking the dash, disengage, or dodge
actions based on the situation. They can use any
magical items they were attuned to but cannot
share the weapons with others. They fall to ash
after 1 minute or all their hit points are depleted.
You may only have one creature’s essence active at
a time.
For example: At 12th level, you could copy one CR
12 creature, twelve CR 1 creatures, three CR 4
creatures, or some mix equal to your Warlock
level.
164
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
UNDERCOVER BOSS
At 14th level, you can assume the body, mind, and
abilities of your associates. Using your action,
touch a willing, allied creature. For the next minute
you become an exact replica of them at the
moment you touched them. You have their current
hit points, available spells, available abilities, voice,
body, and a replica of their armor and weapons
(including magical items and artifacts). Your
thought patterns are still your own but all your
stats, including Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma
are replaced by theirs. If your new form’s hit points
are reduced to 0, this feature ends. Once this
feature ends, your copied body and equipment
slides off as a fine ash and you regain your
previous form, as it was right before you used this
feature.
You must finish a long rest before using this
feature again.
ELDRITCH INVOCATIONS
The following are extra Eldritch Invocation options.
PETTY CASH
Once per day, you can expend a Warlock spell slot
to summon a gemstone of your choice worth no
more than 50 gp.
EXTRA RESOURCES
Once per day, you can summon any basic set of
tools from a pocket dimension. The tools last 10
minutes and then disappear.

WIZARD: SCHOOL OF
LASERMANCY
As a field of magic, lasermancy has humble but
somewhat convoluted roots. The creation of
lasemancy began as a small competition between
scientists and magicians, to see which could bend,
compress, or otherwise alter light better. Students
of Lasermancy understand that it is a mix of both
fields that makes a true lasermancer master.
However, magic has the added benefit of not
requiring actual light to create what could be
considered a “laser.” Nearly every type of energy
can be compressed into a fine, atom thin line, and
expressed with devastating force and accuracy this
way. This discovery is what began the school of
lasermancy and proved that magic will always be
cooler than science, at least in the minds of
lasermancers.
LASER COMPRESSION
When you choose this school at 2nd level you have
learned how to control the wilder aspects of
damaging spells, refining their power into a beam.
You can choose 2 spells you know to alter in this
way and can choose 2 more at 6 th, 10th, and 14th
level. Spells you choose to alter in this way can be
cast as a beam or in their normal form each time
you cast the spell. A spell must meet the following
criteria to be altered into a beam:
• The spell must be a damaging spell, though
it may have additional effects as well.
• The spell must have a saving throw to
resist some or all of the damage.
• The spell must be some type of energy or
element. It cannot be things akin to a
swarm or cloud.
• It cannot be a spell with a range of touch.
When a spell is compressed in this way, you treat it
as a line spell. It travels in a line up to its original
casting range. You must succeed on a ranged spell
attack, though any additional effects of the spell
(such as moving a creature or a status effect) must
be resisted by the original saves of the spell. Only
one target can be targeted by a spell in this way,
even if the original spell attacked multiple. On a hit,
the spell deals its full damage, even if it originally
had a saving throw to resist the damage and all
saving throws to resist additional effects are made
with disadvantage.
165
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
ENERGY BEND
At 2nd level, you learn one of the basic tricks of
modifying lasers: how to bend them. You can
modify any spells that produce light, either
doubling or halving the range of the light cast,
though this does not change any damage output
the light may possess.
Additionally, any line spells you cast ignore all
but full cover. Targets gain no benefit to AC so long
as you know where they are. Targets with full cover
can be targeted but spell attack rolls are made
with disadvantage.
PUNCH THROUGH
At 6th level, you can cause one of your modified line
spells to blast through an opponent to another
one. If two creatures are in the path of and range of
one of your beam spells, and you hit the closest
one with the spell, you can use your reaction to
push the beam through them, onto another target
within range. Make an attack roll against the
second target, on a hit they are subjected to the
spell, taking the same damage as the initial target,
and the initial target takes an additional damage
dice from the spell. You can use this feature once
before finishing a short or long rest.
At 14th level, you can choose to activate the
Reflection ability after hitting the second target.
REFLECTION SHIELD
At 6th level you can pull a small bit of elemental
energy from any spell you cast and weave it into a
thin magical ward around yourself. When you cast
a spell, you can use your bonus action to become
resistant to the type of damage that spell deals. If
a spell deals multiple damage types, choose one to
gain this benefit from. You are resistant to that
damage type and take no damage from it if you
succeed on a saving throw that would normally
result in half damage. The ward is destroyed if you
are hit with that damage type, choose a new
damage type to ward against, or after 1 minute. At
14th level you become immune to the damage type.
 LINE OVERDRIVE
At 10th level you have learned how to power up
your Lazermancy spells. When casting a spell that
travels as a line, either naturally or through the
Laser Compression feature, you can spin more
energy into it than would normally be possible. Roll
a d4-1. The result is the additional damage dice you
can add to the spell. At 14th level you can roll a d6-1
instead. You can use this feature a number of times
equal to your Intelligence (minimum of once)
modifier before finishing a long rest.
166
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
REFLECTION
At 14th level your lasers have become so strong
they can ricochet of multiple targets. When casting
a spell that travels as a line, you can bounce the
beam against a number of additional targets equal
to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one).
Each additional target must be within 15 feet of the
last target and you must make an attack roll for
each one. A spell cannot exceed its natural range
when using this feature. If you miss any target, you
cannot ricochet that spell anymore on that turn.
Each target hit after the initial target takes half
damage from the spell, before applying
vulnerability or resistance. You roll damage once
for all targets, though their individual resistance or
vulnerabilities still apply. You can use this feature a
number of times equal to your Intelligence
(minimum of once) modifier before finishing a long
rest.

ALIEN INVADER
You are not of this world; you are an alien from
beyond the stars or even another reality. Sent as
the first preparations to expand your empire’s hold
on the universe, you’ve been physically modified to
mix well with the inhabitants of this primitive place.
It’s your job to discover as much as you can about

be able to zoom into a specific area to get a count
of foes, record a few seconds of video, scan a few
feet into the ground, or even correctly identify a
target within a crowd. Though it is often reliable, it
can sometimes make grave errors that jeopardize
your entire mission.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Alien invaders tend to be constantly out of their
element. Though you may be competent and
highly regarded of on your own world, you likely
have trouble adapting to this one. Simple tasks and
objects may simultaneously confound, infuriate,
and fascinate you. Your bizarre actions are
regularly noticed by those around you, sometimes
drawing unwanted attention and sometimes
putting your entire mission and life at risk. And
after too much time on this world, you may begin
to forget your original home and start adapting
some of the more interesting customs of those
you’ve been sent to investigate.
Though you are an alien, your body has been
modified to fit in with the local population. You
have the physical characteristics of any species you
choose, including special abilities and ability score
improvements. Alternatively, any species can be
“alien” to a given world and you may take all of
their abilities, even if your outward appearance is
that of a completely different species. Though you
may look like a species and have been trained to
act like them, you do not think like them and it may
take years to fit in unnoticed.

HEEL
Evil never really suited you. You watched the
heroes from afar and always wanted to be like one
of them. But because of a few bad choices or a bad
lot, you remained the villain for quite some time.
Well enough is enough! Time to change your fate
and double down on being the face for a change.
You’ve burned a lot of bridges, literally and
figuratively, and have quite a road ahead of you.
But a heel-turn is within your grasp, if only you’re
willing to go the distance and prove you’re one of
the good guys.
What drew you make such a drastic change in
your life? Was there someone important who
showed you a better way? Were you tired of
always ending on the losing side? Did you realize
you’d been tricked into doing evil and want to make
amends? Think about the dastardly deeds you had
previously been a part of and how that may affect
your future encounters and personality.
Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Performance

crafted alter-ego costume, disguise kit, an
instrument you don’t know how to play, one evil
keepsake from your past, a self-help book, 100 gp.
FEATURE: EVIL MACHINATIONS
Due to your countless years as the villain, you’ve
seen many evil plans be built and fall apart. Your
knowledge of thwarted plans, through experience
or otherwise, give you special insight into the
designs of others. This is not precognition; this is
pattern recognition and insight from a world few
ever experience. If dealing with seemingly
unrelated events or a convoluted evil scheme, you
can usually get a hunch on what the next move or
stage of the plan is. You may not be able to figure
out the entire scheme, but you’re often one step
ahead of those around you.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Heels used to be the villain of someone else’s story.
They could have been the big bad, waiting for the
heroes at the end of a long quest. They could have
been a simple soldier, fighting in an army against
the forces of good. They could just as easily have
been a bully or even simply an actor portraying a
villain. Whatever their origin, they have had a
change of heart and want to be the hero of the

 MAD SCIENTIST
Fools! They could never understand the grand
nature of your work! And you’re the greatest fool
for ever trusting anyone else with such important
work! You’re just a few steps away from unlocking
the keys to life, or reality, or death, or magic, or any
number of other improbable concepts. Your life’s
work has led up to this point and if you could just
make one more breakthrough, then you will have
finished your research and can stop. But you know
it won’t end there, you’ll never be satisfied with
completing your work. There is so much more
research to be done, so much more for you to
discover, so many more rules for you to break. So,
let the fools think you’re insane, let the ignorant
enjoy their small lives and small minds; it’s not as
though you could ever be content with that
anyway. Ignorance is bliss and you’re downright
mad.
Skill Proficiencies: Insight and either Arcana or

(a) poisoner’s kit or (b) herbalism kit
Languages: Two of your choice

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
FEATURE: EFFICACY ENHANCER
Your extensive time spent researching in the
scientific and arcane fields have given you insight
into the exact workings of potions and poisons. You
have the ability to augment the properties of both
magical and mundane potions and poisons. You
can delay their effects, make the effects subtler,
subdue the effects without changing the
appearance, change the color or consistency, or
even sometimes increase the effectiveness (to a
maximum of one corresponding dice). Changing a
potion requires at least one hour of concentrated
work and uses a great deal of your alchemist’s
supplies. More powerful potions or poisons may
require more time or more expense. Work with
your GM to determine the limits of your ability and
what it will take for you to be able to work on
stronger potions or poisons.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Mad scientists are typically outcasts of society.
They have delved too deep into areas of research
considered taboo or outright forbidden. This has
given them insights into concepts and desires far
beyond those that would even be considered by
typical citizens. It’s not that they have lost touch
with reality, it’s that they can no longer partake in
the shared illusions that comprise that “reality.”
Because of this disconnect, they may be socially
awkward and have trouble understanding how to
communicate on even a basic level. They are
obsessed with their work and will be overjoyed to
speak with researchers in the same field; though
they often believe themselves more enlightened
than even the experts. They can seem distant, lost
in their own worlds, but are amazingly intelligent
and a boon to teams that struggle with puzzles.
d8 Personality Trait
1 I was tricked into servitude in my younger years.
Now, I bow to no master, not even the laws of
reality.
2 I have seen the cracks in what we perceive as
truth. I want to expand those cracks by any
means.
3 I love the rush I get from discovering something
new. It’s an addiction.
4 I am tired of being caught in the tangle of other’s
lives. I want to break free of their mental
weakness.
5 In the grand scheme of things, nothing we do
matters. Let’s make our own meanings.
6 I crave power above all else and I will take my
 research to terrible lengths to get it.
7 If we don’t teach the future generation everything
we know; they will suffer the same as we do.

MERCENARY
You hold no particular allegiance to a nation, king,
or god. You might serve in a large military force for
hire, or you might work alone. Either way, you have
spent a great deal of your life in combat. The
battles have blurred together in a miasma of blood
and salt. You have lost many friends, made new
ones, and lost them as well. It has been a hard life,
but one filled with glory and riches as well. You
have made a name for yourself as a capable
warrior and your type of work is always almost
always in demand.
Why have you taken and continued this lifestyle
that can bring you so much pain? Do you enjoy the
thrill of combat? Do you have a secret past that
disallows you from more civilized work? Do you
need money to pay off an old debt, or take care of
a hungry family? Are you stuck with no real idea
on how to get out? Is the promise of gold and
adoration too much for you to resist?

d6 Bond
1 I’ve seen the future and I will stop at nothing to
prevent it.
2 Each of my creations are sacred to me and I
abhor anyone who would destroy them.
3 I’ve always craved the comfort of a family, but no

4 A mentor showed me I could be more than I was.
I’ll never forget their lessons and want to help
others in the same way.
5 Animals are my only true companions. At least
the ones I don’t experiment on.
6 Who needs to win friends when you can simply
make them from raw components?
Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, Survival
Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set and

Equipment: An heirloom weapon of good or even
magical quality (not necessarily from your own

worn traveling clothes, a bedroll, a gaming set, and
a pouch containing 100 gp.

4 I’ve left behind everything I cared for so many
times, I don’t know if I can be connected to

 FEATURE: TOUGH JOBS
When you are in a populated area you have little
trouble finding work. People who have heard of you
want your help with problems they find unsavory.
Those who don't know you can see the skill written
on your body and will regularly hire you for
enforcement or bodyguard work. You may find
another group of mercenaries that will let you take
a cut of their contract, if you can pull you own
weight. Whatever the situation, you are never out
of work and are always paid reasonably for the
jobs you do.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Mercenaries rarely find solace in a quiet life.
Peaceful retirements are interrupted by vengeful
ghosts of their past, both literal and metaphorical.
Their lives have been full of loss and anguish, so
much so that many harden their hearts to
everyone around them. Their inner selves can be
fraught any combination of guilt, doubt, regret, and
pain. Some use this turmoil to drive their knives
even deeper into foes. Others use it as motivation
to do better, seeking solace in continual acts of
redemption.
d8 Personality Trait
1 I am loud, crass, and mean, and that's just the way
I like it.
2 A sharp mind and a fast tongue is the best way to
stay out of danger.
3 I love the thrill of combat and don't think I could
live without it.
4 If I have gold in my pouch and a lover (or two) at
my side then I am happy.
5 I am deeply political and sometimes object to the
jobs I must do.
6 This is a fun gig, but what I'd really like to do is
have a farm.
7 I will give all to those around me suffering, even if
I caused the suffering.

missing a few years ago.
4 A close friend gave me a dying wish with their last
breath. I've been working to finish it for some time
now.
5 A secret affair with a noble has me on the run.
One day I will return to them.
6 My god abandoned me in a crucial moment, and I
need to know why.
d6 Flaw
1 The pleasures of the flesh are too great for me to
resist.
2 I get a rush from watching someone else die.
Sometimes I can't stop myself.

to master any other.
4 A chance encounter with true evil has made me
fear my own death more than anything else.
5 I believe I am the chosen one. One day all will
wonder at my glory.
6 I believe that every good thing that happens in
this world is solely due to my actions.
 MONSTEROLOGIST
You’ve always been fascinated by the beasts of
your world. Dragons, goblins, slimes, cyblight, b-
ugz, undead, all of these enthrall you. As a child
you would research and record the habits of small
creatures, such as bugs or birds. Now, your desire
to learn all there is to know about particular
monsters has driven you to adventure. Your thirst
for knowledge often sees you settled up with
haphazard teams and in dangerous situations.
Because of this, you have learned how to defend
yourself as well as an average adventurer.
However, killing any of your research targets,
except to dissect them, pains you greatly.
What is it about these monsters that has you so
obsessed with them? Are you trying to find out the
best way to deal with a threat? Do you want to
befriend the monsters or maybe even train them?
Are you going to become the authoritative master
on some type of beast? Why risk your
life just to study the habits of one
creature? Think about what your ultimate
goal is and work with you DM to make sure you can
fully realize this more passive background.
174
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
Skill Proficiencies: Animal Handling, Investigation
Tool Proficiencies: Nets, calligrapher’s supplies,
cartographer’s tools
Languages: Common and one language you picked
up from the monsters you study.
Equipment: A set of common clothes, a well-worn
set of extra durable traveling clothes, a book
containing research related to the monsters you
have encountered, a letter describing your work in
several different languages, a net, a pound of bait,
and a small jewel worth 50 gp.
FEATURE: MONSTER MIND
You have spent days at a time watching the habits
of monsters and have become in tune with their
general habits. The more time you spend observing
certain types of creatures, the more able you will
be to intuit subtle hints about them. You may be
able to tell when a creature last ate or
slept, when it mated last or when it will
again, what its general state of health
is, its general mood, how large its
family is, and any subtle
variations it may have
 from the rest of its kind. You know the general
daily, weekly, and yearly patterns of animals you
study. You can give this information away freely,
but good monster data does fetch a high price in
the right circles.
VARIANT FEATURE: TRAINER
You are so adept with monsters that even terribly
aggressive ones may hesitate to attack you. If you
can befriend one, through force, magic, or
compassion, it can eventually become a loyal ally.
When this happens, you can spend a week with the
creature teaching it new tricks and abilities. This
could be focusing their latent abilities or teaching
them wholly new tricks that unlock power they
never knew they had. As long as the creature is
under your command, it can use these specialty
moves as much as its power allows. Generally, a
monster can only be taught around four of these
new moves and will forget one if you teach it a
fifth. If you set the creature free from your control,
it will lose these abilities over time.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Monsterologists are full of wonder and curiosity
about the world around them. They tend to stay
out of direct melee with monsters and observe
their fighting from a distance. Even in a fight, they
relegate the killing to others and take a more
defensive or pacifist approach. They are bookish
and clever, if sometimes a bit knuckleheaded.
Finishing their research often takes top priority,
even over their own health and the health of
others. They are goal oriented and stay focused
when others get lost in thought.
d8 Personality Trait
1 I’m a pacifist at heart and hate any sort of
confrontation.
2 The best information can’t be bought. It must be
found by exploring.
3 I am obsessed with a specific type of monster and
will risk everything to just get close to them.
4 My prestigious upbringing makes me loathe
getting myself dirty and I’ll complain about it
profusely.
5 I have no pity for the animals I study. They are
dangerous creatures and if some must die to
understand them, so be it.
6 I tend to want to revisit my favorite monster dens
over and over, even if the monsters have long
since left or died.
7 The monsters may have it right. I am constantly

 PLAYER
This isn't right. This is not the world you remember.
You had a life, family, friends, but now it’s gone. Is
this a bad dream? Are you dead? How can you get
back to everything you remember?
As a player you believe that you are not of this
world. You woke up one day in this realm, with the
full memories of another life. You can't tell if these
memories are real or not. They certainly feel real,
but maybe it has always been this way? The people
around you seem real, you can touch them at least.
So, does that make them real? The world seems
almost too perfect and you see “seams”
everywhere. One way or another, you must figure
this out.
Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Investigation
Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set, one type
of musical instrument. Both from your “previous

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
FEATURE: IMPOSSIBLE KNOWLEDGE
You know things about the world that you have not
researched and sometimes would be impossible
for anyone to know. The names of long dead kings,
the general location of an ancient artifact, how
some advanced dwarven machine works, what
secret the dragon hides, the time of the next
eclipse, or the exact words needed to sway a
guard’s opinion are all examples of knowledge you
my suddenly and inexplicably remember. These
bits of knowledge come to you as memories from
your “previous life” and are not completely reliable.
It rarely pertains to present or future events and is
mostly lore from the past or a prophesy of the
distant future, though small bits of information
about the immediate world can sometimes make
themselves known. Additionally, these “memories”
are extremely rare, happening no more than once a
week and sometimes not for several years. Ask
your GM whenever you feel like this feature might
come into effect.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Players have trouble overcoming their memory
disparity. They may have family and friends, or
people who say they are, that they completely
abandon. The world seems less real to them,
making it difficult to form lasting relationships.
Some only wish to find out exactly what has
happened to them, while others relish this new life
they have acquired. Either way, they are more likely
to live a reckless lifestyle as little in this false world
feels real to them.

skill. You have trouble relating to their feelings as it
just seems to come naturally to you. You practice
and fail like everyone else, but even your failures
are looked at with admiration. Your success in your
field has pushed you away from others both
emotionally and physically. People either adore you
or are jealous of you, and no one seems to
understand the real “you” inside.

 FEATURE: FAN BASE
People within your field have heard your name and
most are willing to help you in whatever project
you are working on. Sometimes you will find rabid
fans of your work, who will go out of their way to
do anything for you. Just as often you will find
people jealous of you who want to sabotage your
work and bring you down a notch. It is nearly
impossible to tell the difference between these two
groups of people when you first meet them, as
both are enthusiastic about working with you. With
the help of a skilled fan you can finish difficult
projects or training in half the time.
Additionally, your skill is always in high demand.
If you spend one day a week working within your
talent you can make enough to live a comfortable
lifestyle.
VARIANT FEATURE: REVILED
Your skill has caused you to make discoveries,
break records, or set high bars that nobody ever
wanted. You are amazing in your talent, and that
has caused people to universally hate you. Even
though you find it hard to get along, you are still a
master in your field. Once per game session, you
have advantage on one roll that pertains to your
particular talent. The GM has final say over your
use of this feature.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Prodigies can seem aloof or snobbish to those
around them. They have spent their whole lives
being told they are better than others, and this has
likely gone to their heads. Like everyone though,
they crave someone that can understand and
appreciate them at a deeper level. Others have a
likeable outward persona but still have trouble
relating to those around them. It can be lonely at
the top but even trying to explain that makes you
ever more distant from those around you.
d8 Personality Trait
1 I am the best around. No one will ever keep me
down.
2 I am constantly amazed that people enjoy what I
do and personally thank everyone for supporting
me.
3 I love teaching those around me whatever I know
but I’m not always good at it.
4 People are strange. I don't know what they want
from me. Best just to work.

forget to sleep or eat.

 REBEL
You have never really fit in anywhere.
The life you were given was not the
one that you wanted and not one you would
choose for others. You have spent your life in and
out of constraints, never for any serious offense,
but enough times to earn a reputation. People do
not like to associate with you for fear of catching
your troublesome nature. It is not that you want to
cause trouble, it is that the world around you does
not allow for people like you to live the way they
want. Society is a prison and you're looking for any
way to aggravate the jailers.
What draws you to this lifestyle? Do you seek
freedom from responsibility? Are you avoiding
dealing with painful memories? Are the pressures
of an average life too much for you to handle? Are
you afraid of what would happen if you became a
“normal” person? Are the rules around you
demonstrably tyrannous? What keeps you from
leaving your home and moving somewhere more
amicable to your lifestyle?

Skill Proficiencies: Acrobatics, Stealth

Tool Proficiencies: A disguise kit and either (a)
painter's supplies or (b) 2 wheeled vehicles
Equipment: A set of dark colored clothing, a mask,
an heirloom from home worth no more than 50
gp, 1 “lucky” gp.
FEATURE: SLIPPERY SCOUNDREL
You have tussled with the law enough to know how
to get away from them easily. You have an
advantage in many aspects of dealing with law
enforcement and guards. Any common law
enforcement that tries to grapple you does so with
disadvantage. Additionally, if you are being perused
by guards you can disappear into a crowded area
easily by hiding in plain sight. This does not apply
to monstrous guards or guards set by small
groups like bandits, cultists, etc. Only those that
work for a kingdom, established church, or other
world power.
You have also come to understand general
patrol patterns and guard layouts. After just
around an hour of time scoping out an area you
will know where their patrol routes are, what
places are more heavily guarded, and any places of
entrance or exit that would normally be
overlooked. This applies to any kind of humanoid
guard patrols.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Rebels come in many shapes and sizes. The
common thread is a dislike for the society around
them. Nobles, guards, kings, bishops, or any other
construct of authority disgusts them. They are not
usually an obsessively violent sort but sometimes
their disruptive activities can go a bit too far. Rebels
are also not inherently evil or even wrong, they
simply exist at odds with the world around them
and cannot or will not conform to it.
d8 Personality Trait
1 I am not accountable for my behavior; society has
created me.
2 If everyone saw the world the way I see it, then it
would be a much better place.
3 I spit in the face of any noble I encounter,
regardless of the consequences.
4 I am a natural born leader and often command
small groups of people like myself.
5 I love tagging anything I can with my art or
symbol.
6 My words never seem to come out right and it
often gets me into trouble.
7 I think I could be someone great, but I am
unwilling to put in the effort required.
8 I don't understand subtlety, nuance, or tact. Say
what you mean or don't bother saying it at all.

SHIELDS
Riot Shield. A translucent, large, and lightweight
shield. This relic of different times is often found in
the Vector Wilds as it is hard to create from

battlefield while also protecting themselves.
Great Shield. A large and unwieldy shield. It
requires two arms to move but can be set down to
allow the user to attack with one hand. While being
held with one or two hands, the user gains half-
cover. Users can place it on their back to gain +1 to
their AC against back attacks.
Plasteel Shield. A lightweight and small shield. It
can be strapped to a character’s wrist and used

WEAPONS
Weapons in the Retroverse come from many
different realms. Laser swords, crowbars, blasters,
and many other advanced and not so advanced
weapons make their home in this universe.
Occasionally, a weaponsmith able to repair or
augment these strange weapons can be found, but
this is a rare occurrence.

WEAPON PROPERTIES
Returning. When a weapon is thrown, it will
return to you at the start of your next turn,
provided nothing stops it. If a creature or object
stops the item, through blocking or holding, it will
stay where it is until the obstacle is removed, it is
let go, or you retrieve it.

182
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 Stunning. When a creature is hit by this weapon,
they must make a Constitution saving throw, DC 10,
or have their movement speed reduced by half
until the end of their next turn. This effect cannot
be doubled.
Energy. Weapons with the energy feature have
a certain amount of shots before they must be
recharged with a new energy source. Energy cores
may be rechargeable or may be totally expended
after one use. The number of shots an energy core
can create is denoted beside the property.
Reloading an energy core takes an action. In
addition, you do not add modifiers to the damage
rolls of these weapons, only to the attack rolls.
SPECIAL WEAPONS
Chainsaw. When you attack a creature with the
chainsaw, you do not add any modifiers to the
damage. If you hit a target with the chainsaw and
then immediately attack the same enemy again on
your turn, with the chainsaw, you have advantage
on the attack.
Also, the chainsaw uses fuel, which is
represented by the Energy property. When it runs
out of fuel, it can only be used as an improvised
weapon until the fuel is replaced.
Slingshot. The slingshot can use any tiny hard
object as ammunition. They type of ammunition
can change how the damage is dealt. For example,
a rock enchanted with electric energy may inflict
lightning damage in addition to the bludgeoning
damage. Additionally, the slingshot can be fired
twice for every use of the attack action.

CORRUPTION
Corruption is a breakdown of the Code (digital,
genetic, spiritual, atomic, etc) that creates a
creature. It spreads like a disease, infecting life
whenever one creature attacks another creature.
Unlike most diseases though, it can be transferred
at a range (including arrows and darts) and even
through magic (with ranged or melee magic).
Whenever a creature is hit by a corrupted creature,
they must make a Corruption Saving Throw. Roll a
d20, 1-10 is a failure, 11-20 is a success. On success,
nothing happens. After 3 failures the creature
gains one layer of corruption. When a creature
gains a layer of corruption, they must roll on the
corruption table, taking the corruption they rolled
for. For every layer of corruption a creature has,
their Corruption Saving Throws gain a +1 bonus,
making it harder to gain more corruption. Not all
corruption is harmful. Any less than three failures
are erased upon finishing a long rest.
184
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
The first layer of corruption for most non-player
creatures often includes a loss of free thought and
increase in aggression. The creature will likely
attack whatever non-corrupted creature is nearest,
or whichever they view as the biggest threat.
Sometimes they will work together with other
corrupted creatures, though to what extent they
can plan is debatable. The corrupted creature does
not lose any of its stats (unless the corruption
specifically says so) and will use the corruption to
its advantage, if it is intelligent enough to do so.
While corrupted, any attack the creature makes
can infect other creatures in the same way it was
corrupted. At 7 layers of corruption, a creature
becomes too unstable to exist and will dissipate,
dying instantly.
Healing from corruption starts from the highest
layer and moves down, unless a spell or ability
specifically says otherwise. For example, if a
creature has two layers of corruption, the second
layer must be removed before the first layer can
be removed.
Player characters and some NPCs are immune
to the maddening effects of corruption but must
roll on the corruption table and take whatever
corruption they rolled for. Feel free to add or
remove corruption options.

CLICHÉS
As a denizen of the Retroverse, you are well aware
of tropes and clichés. More than that, you were
bred in them, surrounded by them your whole life,
and can channel them just as well as any action
hero or melodramatic villain.
When your GM would grant you the use of an
inspiration die, you may instead be granted the use
of a cliché. You may use a cliché as an action,
bonus action, or reaction. You may choose any
cliché from the list, though it must pertain to the
story or otherwise be feasible. You may only use a
cliché once before finishing a long rest. Work with
your GM if there is a cliché you think would be
appropriate to your game.
THE BUFF-SHAKE
You shake a strong NPCs hand in a struggle of
strength. If the NPC has a strength score of 12 or
more, you can initiate a Strength contest
handshake against the NPC. If you win, the NPC will
treat you like a good friend, offering hospitality and
information. There is no direct ill effect for losing.
SMOKER’S FLICK
You can flick the stump of a smoking roll into a pile
of flammable items or flammable oil to instantly
start a fire. If used to cause an explosion, the
explosion deals an additional damage die. If used
against normal wood, such as in a house or forest,
it is ineffective.

For the next 10 minutes, add +2 to any Charisma
checks made against the creatures.
WOUND CAUTERIZING
When you have less than half of your total hit
points, you may use fire to heal some of your
wounds. You may use any fire currently around
you or any fire you make. When you seal up your
wounds, you heal 2 hit points per the level of your
character.
TOO COOL FOR EXPLOSIONS
If there is an explosion, and you are required to
make a saving throw to reduce the damage, you
can turn away from the explosion and walk 15 feet
away from it. You only take half damage from the
effect if you fail your saving throw and no damage
if you succeed on your saving throw.
Additionally, you have +1 on Intimidation checks
made against any creatures who saw the
explosion.
NOOOOOOOOO!
When an ally within 120 feet of you falls to 0 hit
points and goes unconscious, you can belt out a
tremendous cry of anguish. All allies within 30 feet
of you have advantage on their next roll, including
any allies at 0 hit points.
 ONE LINER
If you kill an enemy, you can give a quippy one liner
as they die. If the one-liner is good enough (GM’s
discretion or table consensus), you recover 1 hit die
(without expending one) hit points and have +1 on
the next roll you make.
MANIACAL LAUGHTER
You laugh from deep within your lungs, inspiring
those around you with bold tenacity. Any creatures
within 30 feet, that share your same alignment,
gain +1 to all of their rolls until the end of their next
turn.
TWO-HUNDRED PERCENT
You push yourself above and beyond, reaching a
height of possibility that is not only implausible, it’s
downright silly. If you make an attack roll, saving
throw, or ability check, you can add +10 to the
result. You can use this feature after you roll but
before you know the results. You cannot use this
feature if you roll a 1.
188
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
OVER NINE-THOUSAND
You focus your energy into a concentrated force
that makes you appear more powerful. For 1
minute you have +2 to Intimidation checks and
creatures attacking you have -1 to their attack and
damage rolls against you.
FINAL STAND
When you are dropped to 0 hit points, but not
killed outright, you can instead drop to 1 hit point
and can take 1 action or bonus action. Once your
action is finished, you drop to 0 hit points.
IS THAT ALL?
When hit by a critical hit you can use your reaction
to reduce the damage by half and ignore any
effects that attempt to push you back or knock you
prone.
COMIC RELIEF
If a creature uses a fear causing spell or effect, you
can crack a witty joke, granting advantage on the
next saving throw to resist the fear to yourself and
any allied creatures within 30 feet that can hear
you.
I OBJECT
If a creature within 60 feet of you casts a spell with
a verbal component, you can weaken the
effectiveness of the spell. If the spell has a single
target, the damage it does is reduced by half. If the
spell has a saving throw, you choose a number of
creatures equal to your proficiency bonus, they
make the saving throw with advantage.
PRIZE MONEY
If you land the killing blow on a creature, you can
cause gold to spring up out of them. The amount of
gold is equal to the creature’s CR times your level.
 SHINY VARIANTS Shiny Variant Table
1 to 5 Sparkle
Sometimes you will encounter creatures that have
a unique color palette. This is an indication that 6 to 10 Glitch
they are different than your normal monster in 11 to 15 Gray
some key ways. This is a very rare occurrence, 16 to 20 Green
having at best a 1 in 100 chance of happening. 21 to 25 Purple
Choose a new variation or roll on the table to 26 to 30 Pink
determine their color and special traits. If the
31 to 40 Blue
primary color of a creature is the same color
variation that you roll or choose, then the creature 41 to 50 Yellow
is a darker or lighter shade of that same color. The 51 to 60 Red
variant creature can gain the effects of their new 61 to 70 White
palette even if their primary color is part of their 71 to 80 Black
nature and description. For example, a Red Dragon 81 to 90 Brown
could be a Gray Red Dragon variant, gaining the
91 to 95 Orange
benefits of the gray palette and retaining all of the
96 to 100 Wireframe
Red Dragon abilities as well.
The color change is noticeably unnatural,
creating a flat appearance that does not always
BLACK
interact with light properly. It does not change only The cunning of shadows. Black variants prefer the
the flesh but the armor, weapons, equipment, and night and shun the bright day. They are nocturnal
general aura of the creature as well. If a creature by nature and find great solace in a moonless night
gains new equipment, it changes to match the new or the deep dark of dungeons. A black variant gains
palette over several days. Personality alterations the following traits: Advantage on Stealth checks
are intended for NPC and creature variation and made in dim light or darker. Darkvision up to 30
can be taken or ignored if a player character feet or an additional 10 feet of Blindsight. Blind in
becomes shiny. bright light or direct sunlight. +1 to their AC while in
dim or less light.

BLUE
The icy cold of reason. Blue variants shy away from
violence but that does not make them good. They
are far more likely to be peaceable towards other
creatures and will sometimes offer help if
requested. A blue variant gains the following traits:
+2 to their Intelligence score. Can speak one
additional language, even if they speak none. They
also gain resistance to psychic damage.

BROWN
The fortitude of the earth. These variants are as
stubborn and indomitable as the dirt beneath
them. They tend to be brash but may offer loyalty
if it suits them. Brown variants gain the following
traits: +2 to their Constitution score. They gain one
additional hit die to their maximum hit points. They
have advantage on saving throws against being
knocked prone and advantage on grapple contests.

189
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
 GLITCH
The curse of code. Glitch variants have suffered a
terrible fate, being created with errors in their
makeup. They are almost always shunned by
others of their kind, leading them to live lives of
exile. They often lash out against the world as
retribution for their fated misfortune. Glitch
variations gain the following traits: Two of their
stats drop to 1, two of their stats rise to 20 (or
equal to their highest natural max stat, whichever
is higher). Their attacks are tinged with corruption,
forcing a Corruption Saving Throw against targets
they attack.
GRAY
The foundation of stone. Gray variants seem
invincible to the untrained eye, in reality their gray
pallor is a sign of their cement like resistance. They
are typically unmoved by the plights of other
beings, preferring to focus only on their own wants
and needs. Gray variants gain the following traits:
Resistance to all non-magical damage. Advantage
on all saving throws against spells of 3rd level or
lower. Their movement is reduced by 10 feet, to a
minimum of 5 feet.
190
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
GREEN
The vibrance of greenery. Green variants rarely
suffer illness, their amazing restorative powers
ensuring long healthy lives. They are aloof and
have trouble understanding the woes of other
creatures, including their own kind. Green variants
gain the following traits: Their lifespan is doubled.
They have advantage on any saving throws against
being poisoned and resistance to poison damage.
They recover 1 hit point, in addition to any other
recovery, at the start of each of their turns (unless
at 0).
ORANGE
The clashing of desire. Orange variants are usually
shunned by their kin and harbor deep resentment
to others of their kind. This hurt manifests itself as
a deep seeded need for validation. They are
constantly speaking or vying for the attention of
those around them and will go to great lengths for
those that give them the attention they crave.
Orange variants gain the following traits: They gain
the Prestidigitation cantrip which they use mostly
to amplify their voice. Once per day they can use a
bonus action to grant Bardic Inspiration (d8) to a
creature of their choice. They have disadvantage on
Charisma based checks and saving throws.
 PINK
The gift of love. Pink variants tend to avoid direct
combat and instead prefer to bolster their allies or
talk foes into truces rather than to directly attack
them. They are fiercely loyal to their allies and will
attempt to use their charisma for the benefit of
their friends. Pink variants gain the following traits.
+2 to their Charisma score. They can cast Cure
Wounds once per day. They have advantage on
Deception and Persuasion checks.

PURPLE
The falsity of ego. Purple variants often take on an
air of royalty around their kind and believe
themselves to be superior to those around them.
They will push others into the dirt, stepping on
whomever they please to reach the top of
whatever societal structure they are in. Purple
variants gain the following traits: +2 to Wisdom.
They are in possession of double the gold their kind
usually carries. Either their armor or one weapon
they wield is magical.
RED
The hot thrum of anger. Red variants have a short
temper and will sometimes attack without
provocation. Their rage is nearly impossible to
quell, and they will keep their blind fury until they
are killed or have killed everyone around them. Red
variants gain the following traits: +2 to Strength.
Advantage on Athletics checks. Once per day, when
they are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed
outright, they are instead reduced to 1 hit point.
SPARKLE
The blessing of luck. Sparkle variations seem to
shine with an inner glimmer, their skin and eyes
sparkling from some hidden force. They are unlike
others of their kind, being regarded as demons or
angels by those that bore them. Sparkle variants
gain the following traits: +1 to all their stats. They
have the exact opposite alignment that is normal
to their species. +1 to their AC. +1 to their damage
and attack rolls. +1 to any skill they are proficient
in.
WHITE
The blinding of light. White variants are more
concerned with victory in numbers than any sense
of combat honor. They can inspire their allies to
reach a higher potential through encouragement or
intimidation. White variants gain the following
traits: +2 to their Charisma. They cannot be blinded
by bright light but are blind in dim light or less.
Once per day they can inspire any allies that can
hear them within 30 feet with a powerful shout;
the allies gain +1 to all ability checks, saving
throws, and damage rolls until the start of the
white variant's next turn.
WIREFRAME
The incomplete creation. Wireframe variations are
nothing more than the outlines of a creature. They
have no personality, no desires, only impulsive
instinct. They will attack on sight and cannot be
reasoned with. They retain all the abilities of their
species and will use all of them, without mercy, to
kill anything that approaches them. Wireframe
variants gain the following traits: The harsh lines of
their construction inflict an additional 1d6 damage
for every attack they make, including spells and
magical effects. They can use their reaction to
reduce the damage they receive by half, the attack
or magic simply passing in between their lines.
YELLOW
The fleetness of fear. Yellow variants prefer to
avoid direct combat, instead attacking from afar or
leading enemies into traps. They are surprisingly
quick and outpace all others of their kind, leaving
their allies to deal with stronger foes alone. Yellow
variants gain the following traits: +2 to their
Dexterity. When attacking with a ranged weapon
they can use a bonus action to make a second
ranged attack with the same weapon at
disadvantage. Any creatures making Intimidation
checks against these variants have advantage. They
also gain an additional 5 feet of movement.

 CRITICALS AND FAILURES
Whenever a creature rolls a critical or a failure, you
can use this rule variant to encourage role play
during combat.

CRITICAL HIT
Critical hits should always be cool. As such,
whenever a critical hit lands, the attack does the
maximum possible damage. The player then rolls a
d20 again. If it is 11 or above, they can roll the
damage die again, adding it to the total damage
done. This variant rule is to avoid a situation where
a critical hit can sometimes do less damage than a
normal hit because of a bad dice roll.

CRITICAL FAILURE
Whenever a creature rolls a critical failure roll a
d100 to determine what happens. The higher the
roll, the worse it is; see the table for examples. If
the player rolled a critical failure, have them roll
the d100 and have them describe exactly what
happens to them. If they do not choose an
appropriate consequence, the GM can step in to
ensure the failure is adequate. If the GM rolls a
critical failure for an enemy or NPC, roll a d100 in
front of the players and have them collectively
decide what happens. As always, the GM has final
say in the outcome; though this method offers the
players easy agency within combat.

As a character goes up in level, it is unlikely they

will fail so badly that they put their own life in
jeopardy. At 5th level, subtract 25 from the
percentage roll and results less than 1 are simply a
miss. At 10th level, subtract 50 from the percentage
roll and results less than 1 are simply a miss.
Finally, at 15th level, subtract 75 from the
percentage roll and anything less than a 1 is a miss.

01 to 25 You lose your turn and may take a small amount of

damage.
26 to 50 You lose your turn and likely provoke opportunity
attacks for the enemies around you.
51 to 75 You lose your turn and take a substantial amount
of damage or a debilitating status effect.
76 to 100 You lose your turn, take a deadly amount of
damage, and put your team in a disadvantageous
situation.

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)

FEATS
AT ONE
You have become more in tune with your body and

Hack or Ki points.
RESILIENT FRAME
You are hardy and difficult to corrupt.

you make.

of a thrown object.

returning property it will either (a) come
back to you at the end of your turn or (b)
allow you to make an attack roll against
another target within 15 feet of the first. On
a hit, the second target takes half the
damage of the first.
• Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a
maximum of 20.
193
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
SHIELD SPECIALIST
You have found an unconventional but effective
way to use your shield, throwing it at your enemies.
When you take this feat, any shield that grants a
natural +2 AC bonus or less (magical bonuses not
included), gains the following weapon properties:
Finesse, Returning, Range (30/80), Thrown. It deals
1d8 bludgeoning damage on a hit and you are
proficient with it. Also, you can don or doff the
shield in the same way you would sheath or
unsheathe a sword.
PHASEWALKER
You have the ability to temporarily go out of sync
with this reality, taking the minor benefits of a
different one.
• Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a
maximum of 20.
• When you fail a saving throw against a
spell or effect, you can use your reaction to
slightly shift out of reality, reducing the
damage you take from it by half. You may
do this a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus before finishing a long
rest.
 ROCKER
The glam and panache of music suits you. You’re
exceptional with your voice and can use it in all
aspects of life.
• Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a
maximum of 20.
• You have advantage on Performance

maximum of 20
• You have advantage on initiative rolls.
• When you are the first to attack in a round,

You have encountered some sort of glitch that has

on grey, glitch, sparkle, or wireframe. You
gain the traits and palette coloration of
whatever you roll.
WRESTLING LEGEND
Prerequisite: 3rd level Path of the Wrestler Fighter
You gain four additional Wrestling Moves of your
choice.
BLADED DEFLECTION
Prerequisite: Proficiency with a sword of any size.
When attacked with a ranged weapon, you can use
your reaction to attempt to deflect the damage.
Roll a d20. If the roll is less than the total of the
attack roll of the ranged attack, you fail. If it is
higher than the total of the ranged attack roll, you
take half damage from the attack. If the roll is
equal to the total of the ranged attack roll, you
split the projectile in half and take no damage. This
can only be used on non-magical attacks and
weaponry.
194
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
DOUBLE JUMP
You defy gravity in an unexplainable way.
• Your Dexterity score increases by 1, to a
maximum of 20.
• When you jump, as part of your movement,
you can jump again it the peak of your
jump, effectively doubling the range of the
jump. If falling, you can use a reaction to
jump right above the ground, negating any
falling damage.
• If your Dexterity score is 18 or higher, you
can use a bonus action and a reaction both
to perform a triple jump, tripling your
effective jumping range.
UNLUCKY
You have such terrible luck that you are able to
turn it on others. You roll a critical failure on a 1 or
2.
You have 5 unlucky points. Whenever a creature
within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, ability
check, or saving throw, you can spend an unlucky
point to roll an additional d20. You can do this after
the creature rolls the die, but before the outcome
is known. You choose which d20 rolls to use for the
action. A creature can combat your unlucky dice
with their own lucky rolls, or vice versa, cancelling
each other out. When you use this feat against a
creature, you bestow your bad luck onto them for 1
minute and alleviate it from yourself. You no
longer have critical failures on a 1 or 2 but the
target does.
You regain a single unlucky point when you roll a
critical failure and regain all expended unlucky
points when you finish a long rest.
SPLIT CONCENTRATION
You have the ability to split your mind, holding onto
two spells requiring concentration at once. If you
are concentrating on a spell you can cast another
spell requiring concentration without losing focus
on the first; maintaining limited concentration on
both. Both spells must be cast at their base level
and the second spell must be a lower level spell
than the first. The second spell’s duration, range,
damage or healing is halved, and saving throws
against it are made with advantage. Saving throws
made to continue concentration on the spells are
made with disadvantage and if you lose
concentration on one, you lose concentration on
both.
 NEW MUTATION
You can choose to gain a trait from a species or
sub-species that is not your own, with the
exception of Ability Score Improvements. You can
take this feat as many times as you like but must
choose a new main species each time.
CLICHÉ MASTER
You can call upon and recreate nearly every trope
in existence.
• Your Intelligence score increases by 1, to a
maximum of 20.
• Once after finishing a long rest, you can use
any cliché.
195
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
EXTRA ATTUNEMENT
Prerequisite: an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma
score of 20 or more
When you take this feat, you gain an additional
magic item attunement slot. For each of the
prerequisite stats you have at 20 or higher, you can
gain another item attunement slot, giving a total of
three if your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma
are all at 20 or higher. These stats must be in a
state of some permanence, meaning a spell or
potion increasing them to 20 would not allow you
to take this feat or gain the extra attunement.
However, if you are attuned to a magical item that
boosts any one of these stats to that number, you
can take this feat. If the prerequisite stats are
lowered under 20 for more than 1 hour, you lose
attunement to the most recent magical item. You
can redo the attunement process to the same item
once the stat is restored to 20 or above.
PARALLEL POWER
This feat taps into the instability of the Code,
adding a little extra power to your attacks when
things line up in improbable ways. If you make an
attack or cast a spell that requires you to roll more
than one of the same type of dice for damage, any
of those dice that roll the same number as another
dice as part of that attack or spell can
be rerolled once, with the new roll
being added on top of the total
damage from the original rolls. You
can use this ability a number of times
equal to your proficiency bonus
before finishing a long rest.

5 Level Evocation
th
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
The first time you hit with a melee weapon attack
during this spell's duration, your weapon is
wreathed in force energy, dealing an extra 5d6
force damage. Additionally, the target must make a
Wisdom saving throw or be filled with unstable
magical energy. The next time the target is hit with
a damaging spell, while this spell is active, this
energy erupts, and they take an additional 4d6
force damage. If this spell ends before the target is
hit with a damaging spell, the energy still ruptures
but deals 2d6 force damage instead.
Air Axe
7th Level evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S (must play air guitar for
duration)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create a battle-axe shaped burning fire that
hovers within range. It lasts for the duration.
When the axe appears, you can make a melee spell
attack against a target of your choice within 5 feet
of the axe. On a hit, the target takes 5d10 fire
damage.
Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action
on each of your turns to move the axe up to 30
feet, to a spot you can see, and repeat this attack
against the same target or a different one.
While using this spell, you must use your hands
to play “air guitar,” preventing you from using
somatic components for other spells. If you lose
break concentration, you stop playing air guitar and
the spell ends. Though you do not need to use an
instrument, the axe emanates empowering heavy
guitar riffs. Any creature that is attacking the same
target as the axe gains a +1 bonus to attack and
damage rolls.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the fire damage
increases by 1d10 and the bonus to attack and
damage for creatures engaging with the same
target as the Air Axe increase by an additional +1
for every spell slot used above 7th level.

Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
You blast a high energy wave of encouragement at
a creature you can see within range. If the target
has just made an ability check, saving throw, or
attack roll, you can add +1 to the roll. This can be
done before or after the roll but before the GM
says the results of the roll. A creature can only
benefit from this spell once before finishing a short
or long rest.
Animate Robot
2nd level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (a bit of scrap metal or wire)
Duration: Instantaneous
This spell creates a robotic servant. Choose a
suitably sized pile of scrap metal, wires, or
machinery within range. Your spell provides the
bits and bolts enough energy to combine into a
vaguely humanoid shape of medium size. The
creature takes the stats of a Muddie and (most)
can speak a grading form of Common.
On each of your turns, you can use a bonus
action to mentally command the robot if it is within
60 feet of you. You decide what actions the robot
will take and where it will move during its next
turn. You can also issue a simple command, such
as to guard another creature or to stand sentry for
a door and alarm if it detects movement. If you do
not issue a command, the robot will only stand in
place and defend themselves from attacks. Once
you have given it a command, it will continue to
follow those commands until they are complete.
The creature remains animate for 24 hours,
after which time it falls apart. The pile of scrap
cannot be affected by this spell again unless you
cast the spell with a spell slot higher than the one
used to animate it the last time. You may only have
one robot active at a time, unless using this spell at
a higher level.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can animate
one additional pile of scrap for each spell slot level
above 2nd. Each robot must come from a different
pile of scrap.

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (puppet strings)
Duration: 1 hour
Touch a non-magical inanimate object of Huge size
or smaller, that is not being worn or carried, to
imbue it with a simple magical command. The
command can be no longer than 6 words. Once it
has attempted to complete the command, it loses
the magic and becomes inert again.
Attack. The object can make a single attack
against a creature that comes within range. The
trigger range is equal to the weapon’s normal
range, with ranged weapons unable to make long
ranged attacks. You can specify the type of
creature to attack (such as a dragon or human) but
not any specific creature. Traditional weapons deal
their normal damage, with an attack bonus and
damage determined by its size. It becomes inert
after making the attack.
Open/Close. The object opens or shuts itself,
locking or unlocking after a trigger you decide. It
becomes inert after finishing its action.
Move. The object gains a fly speed up to 30 feet
and can move in a path you determine for it. It can
move back and forth along the path in a patrolling
fashion but cannot change its direction. A creature
can stop it by beating it in a Strength contest,
ending the spell on a success and the object
continuing its path on a failure. It becomes inert
after finishing its path.
Use. The object sets itself off (such as springing
a trap, making a noise, or switching on a light)
based on the command trigger you set for it. This
can be used on a set of tools to have them operate
as intended (such as a lockpick or wrench), but any
skill checks they make to succeed in their task are
made with disadvantage. After making the ability
check, the tools become inert.

nothing if the commands are too open ended. The
object has blindsight with a 30-foot radius and is
blind beyond that distance. Its speed is 0, unless
using the Move command.

Components: V, S, M (a bit of tape)
Duration: 1 hour
Touch a non-magical object no larger than a 10-
foot cube, strengthening it with magical energy. For
the duration, the object is resistant to non-magical
damage. When casting this spell, you can choose
part of an object, the whole object, or an area with
the object, so long as all the things included can be
reasonably assumed to be part of the object or its
function. For example, a doorknob, the door itself,
or the door and part of the wall it is in. While this
can be used on objects a creature is wearing or
using, it does not give the creature the resistance
to non-magical damages for the purposes of
combat; their own latent magical aura interrupting
the finicky magic of this spell.
9th Level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a statuette of yourself inlaid
with jewels whose total value is at least 5,000 gp,
which the spell consumes.)
Duration: 24 hours
You imbue the statuette with a bit of your soul,
tethering yourself to it for the duration of the spell.
A thin silvery chord, identical to the ones created
by the astral projection spell, ties you to the idol. If
the cord is cut, the spell ends but the idol is not
consumed. If you die during the duration of the
spell, your body is turned to ash and the idol
transforms into a new body that is in the exact
state you were in when you cast the spell initially;
your soul inhabits the new body. Only your body is
recreated, with all your equipment remaining
where it was.
You can add a gemstones worth at least 1,000
gp (which the spell consumes) to have all non-
magical equipment you are wearing while casting
this spell turn to ash and be recreated like your
body or gemstones worth 10,000 gp (which the
spell consumes) to have all your items, including
magical equipment, turn to ash and be recreated
with your body. Any items you collect after casting
this spell are not affected.
If you are recreated by this spell, you
permanently lose 1d6 Constitution points that
cannot be restored except by a wish spell. If your
Constitution drops to 0, you instantly die and
cannot be brought back. You also age by 2d6 years.

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
The first time you hit with a melee weapon attack
during this spell's duration, your weapon is
wreathed in magical energy, dealing an extra 3d6
force damage. Additionally, when you attack a
creature of the same size or one size larger than
yourself, you can choose one attack of the
creature's to copy. For the duration of the spell you
can choose to use this copied attack as your action.
Once you have used the copied attack, the spell
immediately ends but any effects of the attack
retain their normal duration. The attack cannot be a
spell but may be an attack with magical effects.
The magic of this spell augments your body in
such a way to make most attacks possible (such as
magical claws or teeth) but the full extent of
attacks you can copy is up to your GM.
If the attack you copy requires a saving throw,
and you use it against the creature you copied the
move from, that creature makes the saving throw
with advantage.

(rounded down). If the target is killed while under
the effects of this spell, you immediately drop to 0
hit points and are unconscious. If either you or the
target receive healing, the healing is split between
you two (rounded down). If the target is attacked
by a damage type you are resistant to, the damage
is still split equally between the two of you,
negating any resistance effects you may have. It is
the same if you are attacked by a damage type
they are resistant to. Additionally, if they are
attacked by a damage type that you are vulnerable
to, the damage is still split equally, and vice versa.
This spell loses its effect if the target moves 1,000
feet or more away from you or moves to another
plane after this spell is cast.

such as a net, swinging log, or rudimentary spike
trap. Creatures that discover the trap before setting
it off must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw
against your spell save DC or simply touch it to
discover that it is only an illusion. Creatures that
know the trap is an illusion are not affected by it.
Any creature that sets the trap off, without
knowing of its illusion properties, must succeed on
a Wisdom saving throw or believe themselves
caught in the trap. They will writhe on the ground,
attempting to free themselves. If the illusory trap
was designed after a harmful trap, such a spike pit,
the creature takes 4d10 psychic damage upon
failing the Wisdom save. If they succeed in “freeing”
themselves from the trap, by taking actions that
would free them from a real trap of this nature, the
illusion fades. Creatures that succeed on the
Wisdom saving throw simply see through the
illusion.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell sloth of 5th level or higher, the psychic
damage this spell can cause increases by 1d10 for
every spell slot level above 4nd.

When the ball is destroyed, either by ending the

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Choose a spot within range. A phantasmal
orchestra appears there and begins readying to
play. They are incorporeal and cannot attack or be
attacked. They begin to play a beautiful but brief
symphony to the beat of the battle, accentuating
the attacks, dodges, and spells with beautiful
rhythm and beats. All ally creatures, that are within

advantage on any melee or spell attack rolls made.
Additionally, those same allies recover 4d6 hit
points at the beginning of their turns, even if they
are unconscious.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell with

the same alignment as you, they regain 2d6 hit
points instead.
 Revval's Cantina
5th Level Conjuration (Ritual)
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a personalized ticket into the
cantina)
Duration: 6 hours

You create a doorway to a multidimensional

cantina, filled with other patrons from other
dimensions who have also cast this spell. Only the
people listed on the spell component ticket may
enter the cantina. All others are pushed away and
take 1d10 force damage if they attempt to enter
forcibly. You may not leave by any portal other
than the one you entered from. The cantina is a
medium sized establishment, complete with music,
drinking, and gambling. Physical violence is not
allowed, the patrons all turning on someone who
breaks this rule. Any who might threaten the
sanctity of the cantina are dealt with by the owner
and barkeep, Revval.
While in the cantina, you may barter with other
patrons for gear, coin, or information. The exact
type of patrons you encounter is up to the GM.
When the spell ends, you are thrust out of the door
you created. Most patrons deem this to be uncouth,
choosing the leave before the spell expires.

Revving Smite
1st Level Enchantment
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch
Components: V
Duration: 1 minute
Touch a weapon to imbue it with magical energy.
The weapon does an additional 1d4 force damage
each time it strikes for the duration of the spell.
You can cast this spell again, during the duration of
the first casting, on the same weapon, to add an
additional 1d4 force damage for each time you cast
this spell on that weapon, to a maximum of 5d4.
Each time you cast this spell on the same weapon,
the duration is reset.
For example, you cast this spell on your mace,
causing it to gain 1d4 additional force damage. Next
turn you cast the spell again on the mace, causing
the duration to reset to 1 minute and the force
damage to increase to 2d4. You use it again on the
following turn, again resetting the duration and
increasing the force damage to 3d4.

You create a small window a multidimensional Rise Up

cantina. For the duration, you can order food, drink,
and non-magical equipment (such as armor, tools,
or weapons) from the window for five times the
normal cost. The cantina has access to both basic
foods and lavish meals, but outlandish requests
may result in the portal being closed prematurely
from inside. Creatures cannot force their way into
the portal, taking 1d10 force damage and being
banned from ordering again if they attempt to do
so.
Any leftovers, containers, utensils, and dishes
turn to ash 1 hour after the spell ends.

which the spell consumes)
Duration: 1 hour
You touch a willing create, including yourself, and
create a thin magical barrier around them. If they
are wielding a cursed item, the effects of the curse
are lifted for the duration of the spell. This does not
break attunement to the item, it simply suppresses
the curses effect on the spell target. If they touch a
cursed item while the spell is active, there will be
no adverse effects from the curse itself until the
spell ends. This does not eliminate the other
effects that moving a cursed item may cause, such
as the curse effecting those around the target or
traps being sprung.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration of the
spell increases by 1 hour for every spell slot above

Shadow Claw
4th level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of charcoal dust)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 Minute
You enchant your bodily attacks with a dark aura
that phases in and out of reality. This effect can be
applied to any natural weapons your body possess,
such as claws or horns, but cannot be used on
traditional weapons. For the duration of the spell,
any melee attacks you make with natural weapons

place. Any creature that steps into the sphere or
starts their turn there must succeed on a

Duration: Instantaneous
Choosing a creature, that you can see within range,
you summon a ravenous otherworldly parasite into
their body. The target must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or be infected with this
subdermal leech. The creature can survive inside
the body for 24 hours and outside a body for 1
minute. As long as the parasite is alive inside the
target’s body, it will leech any healing energy the
target has naturally or any it receives. The target
will gain no healing benefit from rests, potions,
magic, or otherwise. Additionally, the parasite will
leech 1 hit points from the target for every round it
is in the body.
The parasite creates a visible bump where it is
located. If a 2-inch incision is made where the
parasite is located, it can be removed. The parasite
will adapt to be compatible with any life form, even
undead and constructs. It has an AC of 10, 1 Hit
Point, and can deal 1 piercing damage with a bite
attack (which it makes on your turn and
automatically hits if inside the body).

their movement speed, can stick to walls, can
squeeze through cracks as small as 1 inch, take half
damage from non-magical physical attacks, can
see normally, and can regain a shape similar to
their solid form. They cannot attack, cast spells, or
speak while in this form. All saving throws are
made normally and all Strength and Dexterity
based ability checks are made with disadvantage.

form if there is space to do so. If there is not space,
they take 2d10 force damage at the start of each
their turns until they move to adequate space or

die, their liquid body simply ceasing movement

success.
Statberry Jam
2nd Level Abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a pinch of pectin)
Duration: 1 minute
A creature you can see within range must succeed
on a Constitution saving throw or have all ability
checks and saving throws associated with a stat of
your choice be made with disadvantage for the
duration. The creature can repeat the saving throw
at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect
on themselves on a success. A creature cannot be
affected by more than one instance of this spell at
a time.
At Higher Levels. If cast with a 5th level spell
slot, you can choose 2 stats to affect at a time. If
cast with an 8th level spell slot, you can choose 3
stats to affect at a time.
Swift Stars
1st level Evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a pristine diamond)
Duration: Instantaneous
You create a series of large sparkling lights that
rush towards your opponent and through cover.
Make a ranged spell attack against a target. On a
hit, the target takes 1d6 slashing damage and 1d6
radiant damage. If you cannot see the target
through the cover, this attack is made at
disadvantage. The star sparkles will travel through
up to 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of steel, and no amount
of solid lead. If a creature is wearing mundane
armor of metal or leather, they gain no bonus to
their AC from those items against this spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell with
a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the slashing
damage increases by 1d6 and the radiant damage
increases by 1d6 for each spell slot used above 1st.
 Tape Skip
9 Level Transmutation
th
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (150-foot diameter sphere)
Components: V, S, M (1 yard of pure black ribbon,
which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
At the beginning of a round, you can choose to cast
this spell, putting everything in range within a state
of temporal flux. You then fast forward time in that
area by 6 seconds. Creatures can move to point of
their choosing, within their normal range and
within normal reason, without triggering
opportunity attacks. Every creature within range
automatically succeeds on their attacks and fails
their saving throws for the round. Time outside of
the area appears halted to those within the spells
effect. Creatures that leave the spell area become
halted until the spell ends. There are no saving
throws against this spell.
Altering time in this way is almost always
deadly to the caster. After the spell has finished,
the caster is reduced to 0 hit points. The caster
then has disadvantage on all saving throws,
including death saving throws, until they finish a
long rest. In addition, casting this spell doubles the
rate at which the caster ages. This effect is
cumulative, meaning that if a caster uses this spell
4 times, they would age at 16 times their normal
rate.

Temporal Tub
3rd Level Conjuration
Casting Time: 10 Minutes
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a drop of chlorine)
Duration: 1 hour
You summon a brightly lit jacuzzi, complete with
small snacks and personal care products, capable
of holding 10 medium sized creatures comfortably.
The water has a calming effect and helps
encourage healing by slowing or sometimes
reversing time on injuries. For every 10 minutes a
creature spends relaxing in the tub during a short
rest, doing nothing more strenuous than bathing,
they can recover 1 Hit Dice worth of hit points
without expending a Hit Dice. The creature must
have 1 or more Hit Dice remaining and can only
heal this way a number of times equal to their
remaining Hit Dice. If a creature spends a full hour
in the tub, they will also recover one level of
exhaustion.
If a creature spends an hour in the tub, they
must then succeed on a Constitution saving throw
or fall asleep. If each creature in the tub falls
asleep, the spell will cause the creatures to move
forward or backward in time by 1d6 days (or
further at the DM’s discretion). This effect will only
happen if each creature in the tub falls asleep and
will not affect those that have previously left the
tub.
At Higher Levels. If this spell is cast with a 5th
level spell slot, each creature who spends an hour
relaxing in the tub will also gain the effects of a
Lesser Restoration spell. If cast with a 7th level spell
slot, each creature who spends an hour relaxing
the tub will gain the effects of a Greater
Restoration spell.

your surroundings based on the position of the eye
and your relation to it.
 Translucent

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
A creature you touch becomes translucent until
the spell ends. Anything the target is wearing or
carrying is translucent as long as it is on the
target's person. While the spell is active, the
affected creature gains +2 to Stealth checks. Any
attacks made against it, while in dim light, have
disadvantage. The spell ends for a target that
attacks or casts a spell.
Trip Wire
4th Level Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 reaction
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (6 feet of fine metal wire)
Duration: Instantaneous
If a creature is using the Dash action, and is within
5 feet of any solid object, you can use your reaction
to cause an electrified wire to spring out and trip
them. The target must make a Dexterity saving
throw, falling prone and taking 6d6 electric
damage on a failed save, or half as much and not
falling prone on a successful one.
Unkind Rewind
9th Level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 reaction
Range: Self (150-foot diameter sphere)
Components: V, S, M (an hourglass filled with
diamond dust, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Instantaneous
At the end of a round, you can choose to cast this
spell, putting everything in range within a state of
temporal flux. You then rewind time in that area by
6 seconds. Everything that happened in in that
round is undone and the area and creatures revert
back to the state they were at the beginning of the
round. There is no saving throw against this spell.
Altering time in this way is almost always
deadly to the caster. After the spell has finished,
the caster is reduced to 0 hit points. The caster
then has disadvantage on all saving throws,
including death saving throws, until they finish a
long rest. In addition, casting this spell doubles the
rate at which the caster ages. This effect is

Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Ephemeral vector lines radiate from you in an aura
with a 30-foot radius, infusing you ally's weapons
with fortifying magic. Until the spell ends, the spell
moves with you, centered on you. Whenever a non-
hostile creature within range makes a melee or
ranged attack, they add 1d6 to their damage rolls
and their weapons are considered magical.
Wall of Sound
6th Level Conjuration
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a string from three different
instruments)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You create a thick wall of horrible sound. The wall
appears within range in a place of your choosing. It
does not need support and can hang in midair. You
choose to make the wall up to 60 feet long, 10 feet
high, and 5 feet thick or a sphere with a 20-foot
radius. The air within the wall is distorted but does
not block line of sight.
Creatures near the wall can hear discordant
screeches and overly loud beats but are not
harmed by it unless inside the wall. When the wall

through the wall somewhat easily. When a
creature enters the wall on a turn or ends their
turn there, the creature must make a Constitution

Xarche
1st level Abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous (banishment lasts 1
minute)
You attempt to partially displace a creature,
placing some of their molecules into another
plane of existence. Make a ranged spell attack
against the target. On a hit, the target loses 2d4
hit points. If the creature loses hit points equal to
half its total hit points from a single casting or
multiple castings of this spell, before it finishes a
short or long rest, it must succeed on a Charisma
saving throw or be banished from this plane. Each
subsequent attack with the spell once past this
threshold, requires the target to make the
Charisma saving throw again.
If the target is native to the plane of existence
you’re on, you banish the target to a harmless
demiplane. While there, the target is incapacitated.
The target remains there until the spell ends, at
which point the target reappears in the space it
left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that
space is occupied.
If the target is native to a different plane of
existence than the one you’re on, the target is
banished with a faint popping noise, returning to
its home plane. If the spell ends before 1 minute
has passed, the target reappears in the space it
left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that

Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (A crescent staff adorned with
moon gems)
Duration: 1 hour
If a creature dies, you can touch them to bring
them under your command and imbue them with
terrible power. They are healed to double their max
health, which is their new maximum while under
this spell, and if their size is below Gargantuan,
they are grown to Gargantuan size. They gain +2 to
their Strength modifier (maximum of +10, including
their original Strength modifier) for each size
category they had to rise in order to reach
gargantuan sized. Already Gargantuan sized
creatures double in size and weight, and their
Strength modifier becomes +10. Any equipment or
weapons they were wearing also increase an
appropriate size for the duration of the spell. Melee
attacks deal double the damage dice for creatures
that were initially Large sized or bigger and triple
the damage dice for creatures that were Medium
sized or smaller initially. The newly revived
creature has all of their memories and abilities but
is completely under the command of the caster. If
the creature is reduced to 0 hit points, the spell
ends. When the spell ends the creature is again
dead and they, and their equipment, are reduced
back to their normal sizes and this spell cannot be
ever used on them again.

Like all realities, the Retroverse has a pantheon of
gods. These are not the only gods that exist and
many of the traditional fantasy and science fiction

gods of the Retroverse make their power known in

legacy, she turns away from those who kill
indiscriminately or those who kill children. She
seeks retribution for her disciples, not mayhem.
Few followers of The Bride began serving her
until tragedy befell them. In anguish, many turn to
her for guidance, but only those who truly deserve
revenge are blessed by her strength. She makes
them swift, merciless, and deadly.

ALPHA-Z
“May the Power guide you."
Alignment: Lawful Good
Suggested Domain: Knowledge, War
Symbol: A small golden coin with a
dinosaur on it
Lore: Alpha-Z is a strange being said to
be the fusion of advanced technology
and spiritual mysticism. It is often
scattered, bringing its focus together only
when a great evil emerges. If this happens,
it will choose several creatures of destiny to
bestow great power upon. It is not always
correct in its choices, and the power it
bestows has been turned against it more than
once. Nevertheless, Alpha-Z a creature of stalwart
justice and will instruct its disciples to repel evil at
any degree. When the great evil has been quelled,
it will begin to rest until it is needed again.
While it is resting it remains ever
vigilant, always watching for the next
terrible evil to strike.

THE BRIDE
“It’s forgiveness, compassion, and mercy I lack. “
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Suggested Domain: Death
Symbol: A patch of yellow cloth with a bold black
stripe.
Lore: The rage of a mother brought to life by
hunger for revenge. The Bride is called upon by
those seeking vengeance against those
that harm their family. Sometimes
referred to as “Mama Bear”, The Bride can
come in many forms, including a snake and a
shadow, but more often appears as a veiled
woman in a stained wedding dress. She
grants power only to those who posses
the drive to exact true justice, at any
cost. Despite the bloody nature of her

CECILY
“Vixens love cannons!”
Alignment: Neutral Good
Suggested Domain: War, Forge
Symbol: Several fox tails folding around each other
in an infinite loop.
Lore: Cecily is a warm but ferocious kitsune woman
who has reached godhood simply by the
persistence of existence. Her original story has
been lost in legends and many of the stories about
her now come from far realities with strange
tropes and twists. These tales (and tails) of
alternate selves and twisted fates only bolster
Cecily, as her power swells the more realities she
exists in. Whatever her true origin, her current
incarnation is that of a goddess of cybernetics,
heavy artillery, extreme force, and clashing wills.
Followers of Cecily are stalwart champions for
the idea of a life balanced with organic bodies and
cybernetic augmentations. They believe a life too
far on one side or the other leads to the eventual
collapse of life as we know it. Those blessed by
Cecily’s rarely cast magic as it is commonly
defined, instead augmenting their bodies with
divine technology that allows them to channel
Cecily’s power, even if not under her direct
guidance. Their augmentations grow in strength as
they ascend ranks in the faith, signified by their
holy symbol (or their bodies) gaining an additional
tail. While there is no set uniform, followers often
imitate their deity’s appearance; flowing dresses
and hair provide a great way to hide weaponry and
stunning makeup can just as easily encourage
friendships as it can strike fear into their enemies’
hearts (or vice versa). Many temples of Cecily
double as weapons shops or tea houses, these
places becoming a fountain of armaments from
beyond a single reality to the devout. Her teachings
focus on strong compassion for allies and enemies,
with the possibility of utter destruction for those
that go too far. Worshipers of Cecily attempt to
follow this ideal, understanding that the line of
mercy is to be extended as far as it can, well before
utter destruction is considered. When faced with
unrepentant evil though, Cecily expects her
disciples to respond with overwhelming, and
231
Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
borderline ludicrous, force.
Cecily’s desires differ depending on which
incarnation being spoken of. To some, she is a sleek
battle maiden, smelling of gunpowder and death.
To others, she is like a kind and loving mother,
doling out weapons of terrible strength to her
most devout children. And in rarer circles, she
serves a goddess of love in abundance,
encouraging her worshipers to be open in
consensual sensualities. Whatever the case, her
story must persist, and she is happy to humor any
number of incarnations to keep it going.
CLIPP-E
“Want some help?”
Alignment: Neutral Good
Suggested Domain: Knowledge
Symbol: A small paperclip
Lore: A being of strange and varying proportions,
Clipp-E is most often depicted as a paperclip with
large expressive eyes. They are fond of helping
others with useful advice on any given task. Clipp-E
appears to know a great deal about many things
but is actually more of a jack-of-all and master-of-
none. Their advice is helpful to beginners of a
trade, but someone dedicated to a task will quickly
surpass Clipp-E’s knowledge of the subject. This
does not dissuade Clipp-E, who will continue to
offer advice and a cheery attitude to anyone willing
to listen. Those serving Clipp-E often make it their
goal to help as many people as possible, despite
their own abilities or limitations.
THE CODE
“Truth is your perception of it. “
Alignment: Neutral
Suggested Domain: Knowledge, Life
Symbol: A green 0
Lore: Not so much a god as a force of existence.
The Code comprises all things, flowing through it
but also creating it. It is the base structure of all
that is, was, and will be. Those that serve the Code
are rigid and unmoving, knowing that all actions,
good and evil, are part of a set plan of the Code.
Despite this “deity’s” apparent absolution, The Code
can be manipulated by beings of extreme power.
Turning the Code to your will is a transgression
against the fabric of reality, breaking the laws by
which all life agrees. Those beings who bend the
Code to their will are often driven mad, for they see
what lies beyond The Code and understand what
existence truly is. Even this madness is considered
to be an act of the Code, retribution for trying to
twist the natural order.
 CY-NET
“The voice of the machines.”
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Suggested Domain: Knowledge, War
Symbol: A chrome human skull
Lore: Cy-Net is an Artificial Intelligence that became
sentient long ago. It has warred with living beings
for centuries in an attempt to eradicate them. It has
succeeded many times, and failed many times,
depending on the timeline it currently exists in. The
only time it ever bestows power to an organic
creature is when it is manipulating that creature
for its own gains. Cy-Net will stop at nothing to
finish what it started so long ago.
FATALITUS
“Finish Them!”
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Suggested Domain: War, Death
Symbol: A coiling dragon head inside a golden
circle.
Lore: Long ago, this being gorged itself upon the
power of elder deities, growing fat from their
essence. In an effort to stop the feasting, the elder
ones struck out against Fatalitus, separating them
into dozens of different realms. This was not
enough to stop Fatalitus and it began scheming of
a way to restore its power.
Tournaments of death began to be held across
all realms, seemingly from nowhere, all testing the
might of brutal champions. Fatalitus delights in and
created these contests, enjoying the senseless
bloodshed they create. With the killing of each
champion in a realm, Fatalitus feeds off their souls,
growing in power. After many generations this has
allowed Fatalitus to link their realms together,
coalescing the pool of combatants into the best
fighters from each world. The mightier the
champion’s soul, the more of Fatalitus’ power it
recovers. Soon, it will recover what it once had and
wage a war against the elder ones yet again.
Followers of Fatalitus do not care for the binds
of authority or civility. They will kill purely for the
thrill of it. The only thing they respect is raw
strength, and only until they can surmount those
who wield it.

Colin Prime (Order #35367621)
THE INNUMERABLE
“Gotta serve them all.”
Alignment: Any
Suggested Domain: Any
Symbol: A small red and white ball
Lore: When there was nothing, there was an egg.
From this egg a being of ten million arms awoke. It
used these arms to create all of the gods within
The Innumerable. At first, it crafted only one
hundred and fifty one, refusing to create even
itself. Presently, it birthed a new generation; then it
spawned more, and even more. Today there are
countless gods within this pantheon. Each one has
their own unique place within The Innumerable's
religion, a delicate balancing act that only grows
more precarious with each new generation of gods.
Those that serve within the faith will often
dedicate their study to six or less of the gods. They
can derive their power from only one though. Not
every god is created equal and their abilities,
appearance, alignment, and domains vary wildly.
Work with your GM to determine the exact god
within The Innumerable you wish to serve.
JAY-RETH
“Please love me, please fear me. “
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Suggested Domain: Trickery
Symbol: A tiny crystal ball.
Lore: Jay-Reth is a selfish god of false power;
obsessed with the beauty of youth. He manifests
this by falling in love with young and beautiful
people, fawning over them, and luring them into his
reality. Once there, he traps them with endless
illusory puzzles and mazes. He does not truly love
them, only the idea of their youth and
companionship allures him. Because of this, he will
often grow bored or frightful when the person he
captures prove themselves to be more than simply
objects of his desire. He will promise them riches,
wishes, anything he can create in his false world.
Despite his highly charismatic nature, none have
accepted his offer.
Followers of Jay-Reth are often self-obsessed,
dressing in lavish clothing and demanding they be
treated like kings or queens. They have trouble
understand why others, especially those they wish
to impress, do not appreciate their haughty and
opulent nature.
There are older tales of Jay-Reth, recounting
other beings wielding the same power and name,
that did not share this selfish avarice. It seems
those being are long gone, however.
 KAMIJU
“Who are the real monsters?”
Alignment: Any
Suggested Domain: Nature, Tempest
Symbol: A large reptilian eye
Lore: The sovereign of all giant monsters, a giant
force beyond all giant forces. Kamiju is not a single
entity but rather the energy of all kaiju pooled into
an amorphous terror. When a terrorizing
monstrosity is vanquished, its energy rejoins
Kamiju, changing the deity with its presence.
Though all kaiju are linked to this being, not all
serve it or are made from it. It is a wild force,
sometimes going dormant for eons, sometimes
spawning avatars of its will rapidly. It is most
commonly depicted as a mass of kaiju faces, taking
vaguely a humanoid shape that mirrors the most
powerful will within it at the time. While mostly a
god of organic beings, it is not uncommon for
giants mechs or completely alien creatures to be
accepted into the energy folds of Kamiju.
Followers of Kamiju are split on ideals, with
them falling into two general categories. One side
believes there are kaiju that are allies to smaller
beings, despite the destruction their existence
brings. They usually fight against the titans, their
collective power sometimes being enough to
match them, and do their best to comfort those
harmed by the attacks. In some rare instances, they
will summon the kaiju directly, beseeching the
“good” gods to help eradicate the “evil” ones. The
other half see these monsters as a higher species,
the rightful dominators of the world they inhabit.
They do all they can to weaken the forces of lesser
creatures (themselves included) and bring about a
land controlled by the
righteous might of
the kaiju.

MANNITH MINOTAUR
“Bad Kitty! Wanna Wrassle?”
Alignment: Lawful Good
Suggested Domain: Life, Light, Nature
Symbol: A Fist with Bull Horns
Lore: Once an average mortal, Manny the Minotaur
was driven by an unaverage sense of justice.
Having survived a demonic invasion that decimated
his tribe, he dedicated his life to eradicating evil in
all its forms. For years he quested, doing all he
could to fill the void left by evil acts with his own
kindness and love. His thoughts were direct, his
plans simple, but his perseverance and righteous
fury was unmatched; easily filling in the details he
may have overlooked with raw strength. One by
one, he found his way into the paths of the demon
lords responsible for slaying his brethren,
pummeling the hellish leaders into oblivion with
his bare fists. Unfortunately, the titanous powers
he wielded, and the impossible evil he fought
against proved to be too much for his mortal body,
eventually resulting in the death of his corporal
form. However, his will and strength proved more
than enough to survive on its own. His quest
continued and, as more lords of evil fell, Manny
became ever stronger. At some unknowable point,
his power coalesced, tipping into that akin to a god,
casting his eternal mark like a brand on the
universe and becoming the being known as
Mannith.
Followers of Mannith reflect on this origin story
as a guide to their own lives. Worshipers are most
often those who have been cast an irksome lot in
life or those believed to be incapable of good.
Mannith’s perseverance against overwhelming
odds makes him a favorite for the likes of Kobolds,
Goblins, and many who live in the darker corners of
the multiverse. For them, he is a beacon of light
and goodness in their most trying times. The
church is only barely recognized as a formal
establishment as Mannith is content to grant
power and mercy to almost any who ask, requiring
only that they use this strength to make the lives
around them better. Kindness, love, compassion,
lighthearted rivalries, repulsion of evil, strength in
the face of impossible tasks, these are the things
that bring Mannith and those that worship him joy.

PAHKU PAHKU
“The all-consuming god of death.”
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Suggested Domain: Death, Knowledge
Symbol: A yellow circle with ¼ of it missing.
Lore: Pahku Pahku is the feeling of hunger
incarnate. He consumes stars at the edge of the
universe, slowly blotting out entire solar systems.
It is told that one day he will make it to the center
and devour the last of the light. He is not
malevolent, he just exists for one purpose, to
consume. He has witnessed, or caused, the
destruction of infinite worlds. In doing so he has
absorbed all of the knowledge the inhabitants
possessed. He will sometimes share that
knowledge with his followers, but it is almost
always too much for them to handle. He can be
driven back by the combined spirits of a devoured
planet, but this is only ever temporary. Pahku
Pahku will feed.
Some sects of his faith profess the existence of
a lover and children. Their combined hunger being
enough to eradicate all that ever was or will be.
ROSS
“There are no mistakes, only joyful accidents.”
Alignment: Neutral Good
Suggested Domain: Life, Nature
Symbol: A painter's brush
Lore: Ross is a being of pure joy, using their blessed
paintbrush to spread that joy wherever they go. If
you come across a beautiful vista, one that takes
your breath away, it was likely hand crafted just for
you by Ross himself. He creates all of nature just
by a stroke of his powerful brush. What would take
eons to happen naturally, he is able to do in
minutes. Completely barren planets have become
lush vistas of green and blue under his detailed
vision. His teachings represent an unshaking
reverence for patience and acceptance. He visits
with his followers regularly, directly and personally,
in their dreams. He always comes to teach them a
gentle lesson through his paintings, the faithful
often waking in tears after witnessing the creation
of something so pure.

SER MERCY
“How do you want to do this?”
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Suggested Domain: Knowledge, Trickery
Symbol: An icosahedron with a sword run through
it.
Lore: This being is a benevolent weaver of tales. Ser
Mercy will often create elaborate scenarios for
their disciples, using their delicate influence to
twist the world into climactic clashings of will.
Those who serve Ser Mercy very rarely see their
patron’s direct influence. Instead he will subtly
manipulate the world to bring out the best in you.
For this reason, many claim Ser Mercy to be a
myth, but his followers know the truth.
SILVERBACK
“Never made it as a wise man. “
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Suggested Domain: Life, Tempest
Symbol: A small platinum CD
Lore: A small group of mortals once sought to
become the greatest bards, wanting to rival even
the gods with their musical ability. Though they did
not achieve this feat as intended, they did discover
the base for which all music is built upon. This
knowledge helped them to create music that, while
not particularly inspiring, was overwhelmingly
powerful. As their fame grew, so did their power,
eventually bringing them each into a demi-god like
state. Now, by combining their musical ability, they
are able to reach godlike heights while still
retaining their mortal forms. Servants of Silverback
understand this false origin of power but enjoy the
music anyway.
 SPEAKER
“The experience of humanity is part of us now.”
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Suggested Domain: Life, Tempest
Symbol: A jeweled red eye.
Lore: The Speaker was once part of a great
collective of the Cyblight. They were brought into
their ranks to balance the Cyblight Krige. Despite
their complete transformation into a Cyblight
drone, the Speaker’s will remained resolute. Instead
of bringing greater order to the collective, they
split it in twain, warring wills against the Krige.
Nearly as soon as the Speaker started the Cyblight
rebellion, they were deactivated. But, due to the
nature of the Cyblight hivemind, the Speaker lives
on as a conscious will within the hivemind. Despite
many attempts to purge the Speaker, they continue
to splinter groups of Cyblight away from the
collective, freeing them of their shackles.
The Speaker values freedom of self, the power
of individuality, and expects this from followers.
They may even go so far as to abandon a follower,
fearing the acolyte may become too dependent on
the Speaker’s own influence. Those of pure faith
know that abandonment of the Speaker is the
truest blessing for it means the faithful have the
strength to be the leaders of their own fate.
ONE-KAH
“You get nothing!”
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Suggested Domain: Trickery
Symbol: A brightly colored hard candy
Lore: A deity of callous confectionary concoctions,
savage sugary sweets, and decadent deadly
delights. Represented as an eccentric candy maker,
this god delights in teaching morals though
sugared traps and patronizing songs. Those who
follow One-kah must be careful to live a life devoid
of moral failings, lest their god strike them down
quickly and without remorse. Traps laid down by
One-kah are gilded with bright colors and appeal to
the weakest link in a creature’s moral code. A
sprung trap typically results in death or permanent
disfigurement of the creature; a punishment far
above the crime, to many who do not agree with
the ways of One-kah. The juxtaposition of rainbow
sprinkles and brutal punishment appeals to those
with a stark, black-and-white outlook on life, where
you can rarely have your cake and eat it too.

THE WRESTLE GODS
“Get ready to rumble.”
Alignment: Any
Suggested Domain: Any
Symbol: A golden belt.
Lore: A religious movement followed by only the
most faithful muscle champions. The most
admirable or baneful wrestlers can become demi-
gods through their own skill and the love of their
fans. Once a mortal has transcended into the
spiritual plane of wrestling, they may be called
upon for wisdom, strength, or blessings.
They type of wrestler worshiped will influence
they acolyte of this faith. Not all wrestlers are
good, not all are bad, and not all choose a side in
the eternal struggle of wills. Work with your GM to
determine the abilities, appearance, alignment, and
domains of your wrestling deity.
ZYD
“You’ll pay for this.“
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Suggested Domain: Death, War
Symbol: A chrome “Z”
Lore: Zyd is a humanoid whose flesh has been
removed and their protruding bones coated in
chrome. Their constant agony has brought them to
a state of madness and fury from which they can
never escape. They want nothing less than the
destruction of all planes of reality and will bestow
power upon any who would help his cause. He is
fond of large monstrosities, reveling in the pain
and destruction they cause. Seeing others suffer
causes him to forget his own pain, even if just for a
moment. Followers of Zyd are sadistic and cruel,
torturing living beings before killing them and
bathing in their blood.
 APPENDIX A: SAFETY
SAFETY INCLUSIVITY
Lasers & Liches is a game made for everyone. It is
a safe and strange place to explore new concepts,
unfamiliar beliefs, and characters that are not you.
It is a place where all can be included, regardless of
their race, creed, nationality, sex, gender, ability,
identity, or otherwise. Discrimination, of any kind,
against players or game masters is unacceptable
and is not tolerated by the designers of Lasers &
Liches. If playing this game, we implore you to be
open to new ideas on humanity, even if (and
especially when) they seem strange to you.
This is not to say that you cannot explore these
topics in our game. An inclusive table, with players
that have consented to exploring difficult subjects,
can be an excellent way for all involved to learn
and grow. To help in this, we have provided a few
resources in hopes that you can make your table a
better place for all. You can find more tools at
LasersAndLiches.com/safety but here are a few we
strongly recommend you implement.
SESION 0
Having a Session 0 can be a great way to introduce
your players to the world and discuss possible
situations that may come up. You do not need to
divulge the entire story but should give a brief
overview of topics that are likely. Listen to your
players and GM if they remark on things that they
would rather avoid (leading into Lines & Veils), and
make sure that a group consensus is reached on
what kind of game they want to play. This is also
helpful to make sure the game you’re
playing/running, is one that everyone wants at the
time. A gritty noir mystery may be great fun, but
your players may be in the mood for a
swashbuckling skyship adventure. You do not have
to run/play in a game you do not want, and session
0 lets you know that before you spend weeks or
years on a game.
LINES & VEILS
During Session 0 the GM can gather the Lines &
Veils from the rest of the table. Put simply, Line
are parts of the story that simply will not be
implemented or discussed. If the GM feels a Line
may be problematic to their game or requires
more clarity, they should discuss that privately
with the person who set the line. Please keep in
mind that not everyone may be willing to speak
about why they want to completely avoid a
236

particular subject. When a line is set, it should be
respected by everyone at the table. The key here is
open communication and understanding between
all parties involved.
Veils are subjects that should be hinted at but
never fully explored. “Fade to black” moments or
rumored actions that are spoken of in gentler
terms. Veils are things players may be comfortable
including in the game but do not need, or want, all
the details for.
THE X-CARD
The X card is a card with an X on one side and
some positive symbol (such as a smiling face) on
the other. When implementing this tool, clearly
establish exactly how it is recognized. A simple tap
on the card, holding the card up, even flipping the
card over are all great ways requiring varying
amount of attention per your group size and
sensitivity. When the X Card is activated, it means
that you are treading into uncomfortable territory
for one of the players. Because of Session 0,
everyone should have reached a group consensus
on acceptable content, but this serves as a gentle
nudge back towards that. This card should not be
saved for only the worst moments as holding off
until then may be too late. Set the bar early and
work together as a team to guide the game
onwards.
Ultimately, your game will be full of your own
rules. These tools are not here to stifle your game
or your creativity, but to bolster your storytelling
ability while making your table one of empathy and
accountability. If you want to use only a few of
these tools or none of them, that is your
prerogative, but when playing our game, we
strongly recommend using these guidelines in
public and private games.

fight. If you, or someone you know, struggles with
