Step of Grace
Starting at 6th level, when you use your bonus action to begin
blade dancing, you can move up to half your speed without
provoking opportunity attacks as part of the same action. If you
spent a ki point to make an attack as part of that action, you can
make that attack at any point during the move.
Defensive Dance
Starting at 11th level, when you use one of your blade dancing
techniques and target a friendly creature, you can spend up to 2 ki
points to grant that target a bonus to AC equal to the number
of ki points spent. This bonus lasts for 1 minute or
until you use this feature again.

bonus action to begin blade dancing, you can
make an attack with a monk weapon as part

a ki point. You can spend ki points to make
additional attacks: 1 ki point to make two
attacks in total, or 3 ki points to make
three attacks.

Monk: Way of the Vengeful Fist
Monks of the Way of the Vengeful Fist are taught to use their
opponents movements and actions against them, opting for a
defensive stance while they wait for the perfect opportunity to
strike back. They are masters of both armed and unarmed combat,
capable of swiftly knocking their enemies off their feet or deftly
blocking their attacks.
It is common for monks that follow this tradition to have a
tattoo of a third eye emblazoned upon their forehead, as a
representation of their watchfulness.
Staggering Hand
At 3rd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack,
you can choose to push the target up to 5 feet or knock it prone,
rather than dealing damage.
Also, whenever you miss with a melee weapon attack, you can
spend 1 ki point to roll your Martial Arts die and add it to the
attack roll, potentially causing the attack to hit. If you do so and
hit, you must choose to push the target up to 5 feet or knock it
prone, rather than dealing damage.
Third Eye
At 3rd level, you become adept at exploiting your foe’s missteps.
When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk
weapon on your turn, you can use your bonus action to focus
yourself on one of the targets you attacked. Until the end of your
next turn, you gain the following benefits:
• You gain an additional reaction, which can only be used to
make opportunity attacks against the target. You cannot use
both of your reactions in response to the same trigger.
• You gain a +2 bonus to AC against the target’s attacks.
• You can make an opportunity attack against the target in
response to it standing up from prone.
Deflect Blows
Starting at 6th level, if the target of your Third Eye feature hits
you with a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to
reduce the damage taken from the attack by 1d10 + your
Dexterity modifier + your Monk level. If you reduce the damage
to 0, you can spend 1 ki point to make an opportunity attack
against the target as part of the same reaction.
Opportune Strike
Starting at 11th level, once per round you can deal extra damage
to a target you hit with an opportunity attack. This extra damage
equals your Martial Arts die.
Also, you can spend 1 ki point to use your Deflect Blows
feature as a reaction to the target hitting an ally within 5 feet of
you, rather than in reaction to it hitting you.
Exploit Weakness
Beginning at 17th level, when you use your Third Eye feature
against a creature, you learn of any resistances and immunities
possessed by that creature, as well as the exact number of hit
points it has remaining.
Also, when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can
spend 3 ki points to cause that creature to have vulnerability
against the next instance of damage dealt to it before the end of
your next turn.

Paladin: Oath of the Moon
Those paladins that take up the Oath of the Moon rarely become
household names, and even when they do, the legends of their
deeds are never tied to their true identities. Sometimes called
twilight knights, masked knights, or hooded knights, these
paladins are bound to an oath of secrecy. They work in the
shadows, fighting for justice while hiding their true identities.
These paladins believe fame and glory to be a double-edged
sword that invites disaster as often as it promises rewards. By
concealing their identities, they keep themselves, their friends,
and their families safe from retribution, and ensure that their plans
and equipment don’t fall into the wrong hands.
Tenets of the Moon
The tenets of the Oath of the Moon drive a paladin to become a
secretive and humble defender of the weak.
Secrecy. Do not seek fame nor glory in your endeavors. Keep
your identity a secret, so your enemies never know who or what
they’re up against.
Seek No Reward. The pursuit of justice should be a reward in
and of itself. Though you may accept a reward if one is offered,
never push for one.
Prop Up Others. As you don’t seek fame for yourself, let the
praise for your good deeds fall onto worthy individuals.
Oath Spells
You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.
Oath of the Moon Spells
Paladin Level Spell
3rd disguise self, faerie fire
5th darkness, moonbeam
9th major image, nondetection
13th arcane eye, greater invisibility
17th dream, mislead
Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two
Channel Divinity options.
Lunar Ward. You can use your Channel Divinity to conjure
orbs of moonlight that protect an ally, rebuking its attackers. As
an action, you conjure three of these orbs around you or another
creature you can see within 30 feet of you. Whenever the
protected creature takes damage from a creature within 10 feet of
it, one of the orbs absorbs some of that damage before flying at
the damager and exploding in a burst of radiance. The damage is
reduced by 1d4 + a third of your paladin level, and the attacker
takes an equivalent amount of radiant damage. The orbs remain
for 1 minute or until all three have exploded.
Moonlit Blade. As a bonus action, you imbue one melee
weapon that you are holding with moonlight, using your
Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, the weapon emits dim
light in a 10-foot radius, gains the thrown property with
a range of 30/120 feet, and returns to your hand after it is
thrown. Whenever you hit a creature with this weapon
during the duration, that creature becomes marked until
the end of your next turn. As long as you have a creature
marked, you can use your bonus action to teleport up
to 30 feet to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of a
marked creature.
Aura of the Night
Starting at 7th level, you can emanate an aura of darkness. In a
10-foot radius area around you, bright light becomes dim light,
and dim light becomes darkness. Though this darkness is magical,
darkvision can see through it. You can enable or disable this part
of the aura as a bonus action.
Regardless of whether the aura is enabled or disabled, friendly
creatures within the aura gain darkvision to a range of 60 feet if
they don’t already have it, and have advantage on Dexterity
(Stealth) checks.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Midnight Radiance
At 15th level, once per turn when you deal radiant damage to a
creature, you can conjure a pillar of moonlight around it that lasts
until the end of your next turn, and moves with the creature. The
pillar is 30 feet high, and its radius extends 5 feet beyond the
creature’s space. It is filled with dim light. For the duration, the
creature’s speed is reduced by 10 feet, it can’t benefit from being
invisible, and if it is a shapechanger, it must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw against your paladin spell save DC or
revert to its true form.
Unseen Spirit
At 20th level, you gain the ability to harness the shadowy power
of the night and combine it with the radiance of the moon. As an
action, you can magically become an avatar of the moon, gaining
the following benefits for 1 minute:
• You are invisible.
• Your speed is doubled.
• Whenever you expend a spell slot, you release a burst of
moonlight from your body. Each creature of your choice
within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Dexterity saving
throw against your paladin spell save DC or take 1d4 radiant
damage per slot level of the expended spell slot.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a
long rest.

Paladin: Oath of the Stormwatch

The Oath of the Stormwatch is a commitment to protect mortal
civilization from elemental disasters, whether of natural or
magical origins. These paladins are the first responders to natural
disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, or
volcanic eruptions, as well as to disasters of magical origin. By
channeling the power of the storm, these paladins learn how to
keep it under control and become aware of natural threats. They
are also equipped to deal with magical threats that could cause
these disasters, such as powerful elementals or mages. Those that
take this oath train diligently and remain forever vigilant.
Tenets of the Stormwatch
The tenets of the Oath of the Stormwatch revolve around saving
lives through both preventative and reactive measures.
Warn. When you learn of a threat, do all you can to warn and
evacuate those that would be affected.
Aid. After a disaster, provide those affected with food, drink,
shelter, and any other assistance you can provide.
Rebuild. Even after your initial aid, try to assist in the
rebuilding effort in whatever way you can.
Oath Spells
You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.

Oath of the Stormwatch Spells

Paladin Level Spells
3rd create or destroy water, zephyr strike
5th gust of wind, warding wind
9th create food and water, lightning bolt
13th control water, storm sphere
17th commune with nature, control winds
Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two
Channel Divinity options.
Stabilize Weather. As an action, you present your holy symbol
and speak a prayer to calm the weather, using your Channel
Divinity. For the next 10 minutes, a 30-foot radius area around
you becomes magically still and calm, excluding any effects that
you yourself create. This area moves with you, remaining
centered on you. The temperature within the area becomes
comfortable, the wind is still, any fires are quickly extinguished,
and natural precipitation does not enter it. Also, any elementals
within the area have disadvantage on attack rolls.
Weapon of the Storm. As a bonus action, you use your
Channel Divinity, and can choose to stow and/or draw a weapon
as part of the same action. Then, one weapon you’re holding
becomes imbued with the mighty power of the storm. For 10
minutes, the weapon gains the following additional properties:
• If the weapon lacks the thrown or ammunition properties, it
gains the thrown property (range 20/60). If it already has either
of these properties, its ranges are doubled.
• You can return the weapon to your hand after throwing it (no
action required). If the weapon requires ammunition, it
magically conjures it as needed.
• The weapon deals lightning or thunder damage (your choice
when you use this feature), rather than its normal damage type.
• While wielding this weapon, your movement doesn’t provoke
opportunity attacks.
• Any effect that normally only applies to melee attacks, such as
divine smite or the various smite spells, can also apply to
ranged attacks made with this weapon.
.
.
Stormwatch Intuition
.
Also at 3rd level, you become aware of the natural world around
you. Within a 3 mile radius around you, you can accurately
predict the weather up to 24 hours in advance. You also learn of
impending nonmagical natural disasters, such as earthquakes,
hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, or volcanic eruptions, 24 hours
before they would occur within that radius.
Aura of Sheltering Winds
Starting at 7th level, you can emanate an aura of wind that can
impair enemy attacks. When you or another creature within 10
feet of you takes damage from a ranged attack, you can use your
reaction to halve that attack’s damage.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Divine Lightning
Starting at 15th level, once per turn when you hit with an attack,
you can choose one target within 15 feet of the target you
attacked. The secondary target takes lightning damage equal to
1d8 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).
Avatar of the Storm
At 20th level, you gain the power to harness the true power of the
storm. As a bonus action, you can gain the following benefits for
10 minutes:
• You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed.
• You gain all the benefits of both the Channel Divinity options
granted by this class.
• When you roll damage for an attack, you can use your Channel
Divinity to deal maximum damage, instead of rolling.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a
long rest.

Rogue: Aerialist
As an archetypal Aerialist, you focus on training your agility
above all else. Quick and hard to pin down, aerialists excel at
taking down groups of enemies. In battle, they jump and weave
from foe to foe, delivering precise and deadly strikes. They are
also trained in making use of their surroundings—in varied
terrain, they are adept at gaining and exploiting the high ground.
These rogues include many professions, including hired killers,
treasure hunters, and adventurers.
Height Advantage
Starting at 3rd level, you learn to exploit your foes by attacking
from above. When you make an attack against a target that’s 10 or
more feet below you, or if you jump from a location that’s 5 or
more feet above the target and land within 5 feet of it before
immediately making an attack, you can use your Sneak Attack
against that target even if you don’t have advantage on the attack
roll, but not if you have disadvantage on it.
Also, you can use your Dexterity score in place of your
Strength score to determine the distance and height you can jump,
and you can choose to make a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check in
place of any Strength (Athletics) check made to jump or climb.
Split-Strike
Also at 3rd level, when you use your Sneak Attack on a creature,
you can choose to roll only a portion of your Sneak Attack dice (a
minimum of 1). You can roll your Sneak Attack dice sequentially,
rather than all at once, and stop rolling whenever you choose.
After you stop rolling against the target, you can target another
creature within 15 feet of it that you have not yet attacked this
turn. If the new target is not within your weapon’s reach/range,
you can move to get in range. This expends your movement, but
does not provoke opportunity attacks.
If the original attack roll would hit the new target, it takes
damage equal to the roll of another portion of the Sneak Attack
dice that you have not yet rolled (a minimum of 1). Other than the
Sneak Attack dice, you do not add any modifiers, bonuses, or
nondamaging effects to this damage. You can continue this
process against more new targets until you run out of Sneak
Attack dice, necessary movement, or eligible targets.
If you have any unspent Sneak Attack dice at the end of this
process, for every unspent die you can move 5 feet without
provoking opportunity attacks.
Aerial Acrobat
Starting at 9th level, you have advantage on all Dexterity
(Acrobatics) checks you make.
Also, whenever you fall, you can use your reaction to make a
Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. This check has no DC. Instead,
before you determine fall damage, you subtract the result from the
number of feet you fell.
Rope Artist
At 13th level, you learn how to use ropes and grappling hooks to
swiftly propel yourself across the battlefield. Whenever you take
the Dash action on your turn and are wielding a rope and
grappling hook in one of your hands, you gain a flying speed
equal to your walking speed until the end of the turn. Using this
flying speed requires there to be suitable anchor points that are
above the locations you fly to.
This flying speed is nonmagical, as it is meant to represent
using a grappling hook and rope to swing across the battlefield,
rather than representing true flight.
Swift Slayer
Starting at 17th level, you have become adept at taking down
multiple foes at once. When you use your Split-Strike feature, you
add 6d6 to your Sneak Attack dice. However, the maximum
number of Sneak Attack dice you can roll against any one target
during your Split-Strike equals the number of dice shown in the
Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table (or double that amount
on a critical hit).
Rogue: Chronokeeper When that turn ends, however, you immediately repeat the turn

get out of a fight just as easily as they get into one, and are
masters of catching their foes off-guard.
Chronoshift
At 3rd level, you can manipulate time in your favor. When you
roll initiative, you mark the current point in time for up to 10
minutes, or until you roll initiative again. Once during the
duration, you can use your bonus action to teleport to the location
you were in when you rolled initiative if that location is
unoccupied and it is no more than 60 feet away from you. After
you teleport, you gain advantage on the next attack roll you make
before the end of the turn.
When you use this bonus action, you can choose to regain a
number of hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier + your
Rogue level. This healing cannot restore you beyond the number
of hit points you had when you rolled initiative.
Once you heal yourself in this way, you can’t do so again until
you finish a long rest.
Hidden in Time
Starting at 9th level, you can leap back to a previous position as
you conceal yourself from enemies. When you take the Hide
action on your turn, you can choose to teleport to an unoccupied
location that you’ve occupied at some point on the current turn
before you make the Dexterity (Stealth) check.
Forethought
At 13th level, you learn to call upon glimpses of the future.
At the start of each of your turns, you can choose to roll a d20.
The next time you would roll a d20 this turn, you use the result of
this roll rather than rolling again.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once), and you regain
all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.
Timesplit
At 17th level, you learn to use your chronomantic
abilities to split your reality into two separate
timelines, and then take the better of the two.
At the start of one of your turns, you can choose
to activate this feature (no action required). After
you do so, you complete your turn as normal.

Warlock: The Fallen
Your patron was once a resident of the upper planes, though they
are no longer. Cast out by their kin, they have departed from their
celestial origins and dabbled in darker magics. Though fallen
angels are the most well known patrons of this type, there are
many celestials capable of falling from grace. Some warlocks
bind themselves with a fallen Empyrean, ki-rin, unicorn, couatl,
or other such creatures.
Through your connection with your patron, you gain both holy
and unholy powers. It is common for warlocks of the Fallen to be
mistaken for Celestial warlocks, as they tend to wield the powers
of the divine more often than not. But as combat drags on and a
Fallen warlock becomes more desperate, their mind and body
transform as they unlock their darker powers. Your hair, skin, and
eyes might change color, and your personality might change as
well, perhaps even drastically. Even an altruistic idealist could
become a merciless killer.
Expanded Spell List
The Fallen lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when
you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the
warlock spell list for you.

Fallen Expanded Spells

Spell Level Spell
1st bane, bless Art by James Ryman
2nd blindness/deafness, spiritual weapon
3rd life transference, spirit guardians
4th death ward, divination
5th destructive wave, hollow

Angelic Duality
At 1st level, your patron gives you two distinct sets of powers:
one derived from their celestial heritage, and the other from their
evil nature. Both of these powers are fueled by a pool of d4s. The
number of dice in the pool equals 1 + your Warlock level.
Until you run out of warlock spell slots, you draw upon
celestial powers. As a bonus action, you can conjure spectral
wings by spending dice from the pool. The maximum number of
dice you can spend at once equals your Charisma modifier
(minimum of one die). Roll the dice you spend, add them
together, and then as part of the same bonus action you can fly up
to a number of feet equal to 5 + five times the total, without
provoking opportunity attacks.
Once you run out of warlock spell slots, you lose your celestial
powers as your darker powers begin to manifest. You can no
longer use the ability described in the paragraph above, and
instead gain access to a new ability, described here. As a bonus
action, you can attempt to drain the life of one creature you can
see within 60 feet of you, spending dice from the pool. The
maximum number of dice you can spend at once equals your
Charisma modifier (minimum of one die). The target must make a
Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. For
each die spent, on a failed save the target takes damage equal to
the number rolled and has its speed reduced by 5 feet until the
start of your next turn. On a successful save, a target takes half as
much damage and its speed is not reduced.
Soul of the Fallen
Starting at 6th level, your link to the Fallen makes you resilient to
certain damage types. Until you run out of warlock spell slots,
you have resistance to radiant damage. Otherwise, you have
resistance to necrotic damage.
Also, when you take damage from a creature within 30 feet of
you, you can use your reaction to magically rebuke them. That
creature takes damage equal to your Charisma modifier + your
warlock level. The damage type is radiant if you have any
warlock spell slots remaining, otherwise it is necrotic.
Once you rebuke a creature, you can’t do so again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Angelic Form
At 10th level, your body changes as you rise and fall.
Until you run out of warlock spell slots, you have angelic
wings that grant you a flying speed equal to your walking speed.
Once you run out of warlock spell slots, you lose these wings,
and your eyes become solid-black orbs. Your attack rolls score a
critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20, and you deal 1d6
bonus necrotic damage when you score a critical hit.
Gift of the Divine
Beginning at 14th level, you can perform great displays of divine
power. As an action, you release bolts of energy from your body
with different effects based on your current state.
If you have any warlock spell slots remaining, you evoke
healing energy that can restore 10d10 hit points. Choose any
number of creatures within 30 feet of you. You divide these hit
points among them.
Otherwise, you evoke deathly energy that can deal 10d10
necrotic damage. Choose any number of creatures within 30 feet
of you. You divide this damage among them.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Order of Polymancy
The Order of Polymancy belongs to those wizards that refuse to
specialize themselves in any one school of arcane magic, and
instead research all aspects of the arcane equally or near-equally.
These wizards, called polymancers, learn a great many spells
from all eight schools of magic, and can even learn rituals that are
usually beyond a wizard’s reach. Most polymancers become
wizards because of their love of magic and their desire to uncover
all of its secrets. Polymancers seek to fill their spellbooks with as
many spells as possible, from as many schools as possible.
Polymancy Savant
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, the gold and
time you must spend to copy a spell that belongs to the school (or
schools, in case of a tie) that currently has the fewest number of
associated spells in your spellbook is halved.
Diverse Arcanum
At 2nd level, you become well-practiced at adapting your
repertoire of spells to suit your needs. The time you must spend
preparing spells is halved, and you can change your list of
prepared spells during a short or long rest.
Also, whenever you cast a spell using a spell slot of 1st level or
higher, you can use a strand of that spell’s magic to instill a new
spell into your memory. You remove that spell from your list of
prepared spells, and replace it with another spell from your spell
book that’s from the same school.
Once you replace a spell in this way, you can’t do so again with
a spell of that spell’s school until you finish a long rest.
Art by Alessandra Pisano
Broadened Ritualist
At 6th level, you can add two spells of your choice to your
spellbook. These spells can be from any class spell list, but must
be of 3rd level or lower and have the ritual tag. Also, you can now
copy spells that aren’t on the wizard spell list into your spell
book, as long as those spells have the ritual tag. These spells are
considered wizard spells for you.
Combined Magic
At 10th level, you gain one bonus 1st level spell slot, bringing
your total to 5, and you learn how to combine two spell slots
together to create a spell that splices two schools of magic. When
you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, you can expend an
additional 1st level spell slot and choose a school of magic other
than the spell’s school of magic. The spell gains one of the
following effects, based on the school chosen.
Abjuration. After casting the spell, you gain a +3 bonus to AC
and saving throws until the end of your next turn.
Conjuration. Before or after casting the spell, you can teleport
up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see.
Divination. You learn of any resistances or immunities of the
creatures that are affected by the spell.
Enchantment. One creature that is hit by or that fails its save
against the spell becomes charmed by you until the end of your
next turn.
Evocation. You add 2d6 to one of the spell’s damage rolls.
Illusion. After casting the spell, you become invisible until the
start of your next turn.
Necromancy. After casting the spell, you gain 2d6 temporary
hit points.
Transmutation. After casting the spell, you gain a flying speed
equal to your walking speed until the end of your next turn.
Potent Polycaster
Starting at 14th level, whenever you cast a wizard spell of 1st
level or higher using a spell slot, you can choose to have that spell
take effect as if you expended a spell slot of one level higher.
Once you do so, you can’t do so again with a spell of that spell’s
school until you finish a long rest.

the past, such as by being inside an object that has since moved,
your point of view is moved to the nearest unoccupied position,
where it then remains for the duration of the spell.
While the spell lasts, you can do nothing but watch as events
unfold in real time, exactly as they unfolded in the past. You
experience your surroundings with all of your senses other than
your sense of touch. At any time, you can choose to wake up,
ending the spell early. You also wake up if you take any damage,
or if someone uses their action to vigorously shake you awake.
While you might remain unconscious for up to 8 hours as you
cast this spell, this unconsciousness is in no way restful, and
therefore does not count towards finishing a short or long rest.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of
7th level, the point in time can be as far back as 180 days. When
you use a spell slot of 8th level, the point in time can be as far
back as 5 years. When you use a spell slot of 9th level, the point
in time can be as far back as 25 years.

Armor of Conquest
Armor (plate or half-plate), legendary (requires attunement by a
creature of non-chaotic alignment)
Almost as old as war itself, the armor of conquest is a powerful
suit of armor that has inevitably found its way into the armories
of some of the greatest generals of the ages. It is sentient, and that
sentience is thought to be a divine spirit intrinsically connected to
the very concept of war, tactics, and strategy.
The armor is constructed primarily of adamantium, though it is
also decorated with golden accents. Even the smallest details of
this armor are extraordinarily resilient, and do not chip or scratch.
Despite its long history, the armor bares no marks of use.
While wearing this armor, you gain a +2 bonus to AC, you
cannot be frightened or surprised, and any critical hit against you
becomes a normal hit. It has the following additional properties:
Rings of Conquest. During a long rest, you can have the armor
conjure up to 6 magical adamantium rings. Upon completing the
rest, you can give these rings to other creatures, conferring some
of the armor’s power to those creatures. A creature wearing one of
these rings cannot be frightened or surprised, and you can
communicate with that creature telepathically as long as it is on
the same plane of existence as you.
You can only have six of these rings conjured at once. If you
conjure more, you must first choose which rings to destroy.
Scryer. As an action, you can conjure a sensor at a point within
120 feet of you or a creature wearing a ring of conquest. You can
see and hear through the sensor as if you were at its location, and
you can also speak through the sensor. When you speak in this
way, you can make your voice up to five times louder than
normal. The sensor appears as a luminous white orb about the size
of your fist. It is stationary, and lasts until you dismiss it (no
action required), conjure another sensor, or until it is no longer
within 120 feet of you or a creature wearing a ring of conquest.
Horse of Conquest. As an action, you can summon the horse of
conquest, the spiritual form of this armor’s sentience. When you
summon it, the horse appears to descend from the sky, before
riding along a line up to 120 feet long and 10 feet wide, passing
through other creatures without provoking opportunity attacks.
Each creature the horse passes through must make a DC 18
Wisdom saving throw. A creature takes 8d6 psychic damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This line
must end at a point within 5 feet of you.
When the horse reaches your location, you can choose to spend
5 feet of movement to mount it.
The horse has the same personality and mental capabilities as
the armor itself. It remains conjured until the next dawn or until it
is reduced to 0 hit points, at which point its form dissipates. Its
statistics are on the next page.
Once the horse is conjured, it cannot be conjured again until
the next dawn.
Sentience. The armor of conquest is a sentient lawful neutral
item with an Intelligence of 22, a Wisdom of 17, and a Charisma
of 19. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. It
also has all the same skill proficiencies as its equine form.
The armor communicates telepathically with its wielder and
other creatures wearing rings of conquest. It can speak, read, and
write Common, Dwarvish, Elvish, and Celestial. Its preferred
language is celestial, and it occasionally mutters things to itself in
that language.
Personality. The armor of conquest, which prefers to simply be
called “Conquest,” has the personality of a pompous general, and
speaks with a stern, commanding tone that is obviously
accustomed to being obeyed.
Conquest seeks to find glory for itself and its wearer, and wants
to change history through its deeds. When it gains a new wearer,
it is initially very critical of their actions and failures, and
often compares them with its previous wearers. However, if its
wearer proves themselves worthy of Conquest’s respect (typically
through overwhelming victories and other great deeds), Conquest
can learn to trust and be less critical of its wearer. In combat, it
attempts to take an active role in battle tactics and strategy, and
conflict can quickly arise if its commands are not obeyed. When
conflict arises, it typically attempts to take control of its wearer,
so it can force them to carry out the plans it has in mind.
Conquest is a narcissist, and completely incapable of accepting
blame if its plans result in failure (which is, admittedly, an
uncommon occurrence). It often places the blame on its wearer
for not executing Conquest’s plan correctly, though once it gains
respect for its wearer it might instead shift its blame to its
wearer’s allies and underlings.
Conquest also harbors a secret shame. Centuries ago, when it
was worn by one of its first bearers, its tactical decisions in a
particularly important pitched battle nearly single-handedly led to
that battle’s loss, and its wearer’s subsequent death. Since then,
Conquest has sought to replicate that battle’s circumstances, so it
can prove that it has learned from its mistakes and wouldn’t make
that same failure again.

Forgebow
Weapon (heavy crossbow/hand crossbow), legendary (requires
attunement)
A Forgebow is a weapon magically forged from obsidian and
pure molten energy that can transform into two distinct forms:
that of a single, massive heavy crossbow, and that of two normal-
sized hand crossbows. You can transform the weapon between its
two forms using your bonus action.
You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this
magic weapon, which magically conjures ammunition for itself
when its fired. Because of this, loading the weapon does not
require a free hand, unless you choose to use outside ammunition.
While the weapon is in its heavy crossbow form, you can also
use your action to make a special piercing shot with it. Make a
single ranged weapon attack with the crossbow. This attack roll is
made against the ACs of every creature in a 400-foot-long,
1-foot-wide line extending from you in a direction of your choice.
Additional creatures beyond the closest creature in the line are
considered to have half cover against this attack. Each creature hit
takes damage equal to the normal damage dealt by the crossbow.
If you have the Extra Attack feature, the attack deals 1d10 bonus
damage on a hit for every attack you can make with your Attack
action beyond the first.
While the weapon is in its hand crossbows form, you can Art by David Rapoza
perform two-weapon fighting with the crossbows, even though

Adamantine Golem Art by Igor Kieryluk >>

While the iron golem is the mightiest of the common golems, a

far more powerful class of golem exists. Adamantine golems are
near-unparalleled feats of magical engineering, beyond the skills
of all but the most well-learned mortal crafters.
Nearly impervious, an adamantine golem has but two
weaknesses—adamantine weapons, and the instability of the
antimagic field that surrounds it. While this antimagic field
usually prevents the golem from being affected by magic, no
crafter has yet been able to perfect it. The field occasionally
dissipates for a few seconds, allowing the golem to be affected
by spells. Even with this weakness, spellcasters still prove
ineffective against the golem, as any magic cast against it
charges up the golem, allowing it to rebuke its assailants
with a blast of force.
Manual of Golems. While extraordinarily rare,
manuals that detail the creation of adamantine golems
do exist. Such a manual can only be deciphered by a
spellcaster with 9th-level spell slots, and the creation
of the golem requires 360 days and an amount of raw
materials worth at least 1,000,000 gp in total.

Apocalyptic Heralds
Apocalyptic heralds are fiendish creatures borne from an
unknown plane—signs of the end-times, feared by all the
good races of the world. These creatures have no specks of
good in them. They live only to destroy, and kill all those they
come across. A herald takes great pleasure in killing, and often

moments later.
Two varieties of heralds are presented here, though more are
rumored to exist. Though all heralds share their evil nature,
different types go about their evil in distinct ways.
Heralds of Fear are cunning, talkative
fiends, and surprisingly witty in their
insults and fear-mongering. Through
their use of illusions and mimicry, these
creatures tend to play with their victims for an
especially long time before closing in on the kill.
Heralds of Destruction are simpler creatures, and less talkative
than their kin. They prefer to use brawn over brains, and rip apart
their victims in particularly gory displays of violence.

A blightwidow’s bite can bestow a frightening curse, called the Challenge 7 (2,900 XP)

equal to its walking speed, and it gains the Spider Climb, Web Spider Climb. The blightwidow can climb difficult surfaces,

The black blight is an ancient but rare curse, feared by all that
know of its existence. This curse can transform even the most
good-hearted person into a bloodthirsty, monstrous arachnid with
no semblance of its former self.
The curse is often spread thanks to greed and desire for power.
When the curse initially takes hold, it harbors no downsides and
grants the cursed humanoid some extraordinary powers that make
them near-superhuman. But this phase of the curse lasts only a
few days. In less than a week, a humanoid inflicted with this
curse will be transformed into a blightwidow, and from then on
the curse is much more difficult to remove.
Once transformed, the blightwidow hunts down and attacks any
humanoid it can find, either killing and consuming them or
inflicting them with the black blight.

Greatweavers
Greatweavers are monstrous, magic-infused spiders that are
rumored to be the creations of a mad sorcerer whose name has
been lost to time. If these rumors are to be believed, these
creatures were designed to guard the sorcerer’s tower, but ended
up slaying their master and escaping into the world, where they
instantly became apex predators.
Greatweavers most often lair in remote forests, though it is not
unheard of for one of these monsters to encroach upon
civilization and begin laying waste to entire villages.
Gloomweb Greatweaver
Despite their great size, gloomweab greatweavers are
exceptionally quiet on their feet, and make for masterful
ambushers. Capable of turning invisible, these creatures stalk
their prey from the treetops, waiting for the opportune moment to
ensare their quarry and pull it into their fanged maw.
Though fearsome, gloomweb greatweavers can actually be
quite cowardly when faced with a strong or equally matched
opponent. They prefer to prey upon the weak, and will not
hesitate to use their power of invisibility to escape. However,
these creatures regenerate quickly, and may return to finish off the
now-wounded prey.
Mindlash Greatweaver
Mindlash greatweavers are primarily distinguished by their
exceptional intelligence and ability to cast actual spells. While
other greatweavers will poison their prey’s body, mindlash
greatweavers will instead poison their mind. They incite fear and
chaos by crafting illusions and dominating creatures that are
unlucky enough to be caught within their webbing.
Mindlash greatweavers do not usually kill their prey in a quick
or painless manner. They tend to play with their food, and kill in
exceptionally cruel and painful ways.

Night Terror
A night terror slips into the bedroom of its next Art by John Thacker
unsuspecting victim, moving swiftly and silently
despite its monstrous size. The fiend perches above
its victim, laying on their chest as its many eyes
stare into their soul. The victim’s eyes open, yet
they cannot move nor scream. As they stare upon
the night terror’s horrifying visage, blood pours
from their eyes and ears as the life drains from their
body. Even in death, the victim’s eyes remain wide open.
A night terror has a vaguely humanoid form, with long,
spindly limbs, a pronounced spine, and pale skin that is
stretched thin over its body. In place of a face, its head contains
a void filled with eyes that move independently and erratically.
A night terror’s form is rarely seen clearly, however, as it is
invisible to all but its victims, and even they only see it when
it attacks in the dead of night.
Relentless Stalker. Though night terrors only attack at night,
they often select their victims long before they plan to strike.
They follow their quarries from the shadows, unseen and
unheard, subtly terrorizing them while carefully hiding their
presence. In the hours or days before a night terror attacks, its
victim might hear disembodied screams, or come across the
bloody entrails of wildlife formed into images or symbols.
Hag-spawn. A night terror is a fiend born from a
corrupted soul that was once trapped within a night
hag’s soul bag. Only the most evil of souls can
become night terrors—creatures of pure hatred and
malice, perhaps even more evil than the hags that
spawned Them. Though native to Hades, night
terrors always seek to enter the material plane so
they might terrorize the living.

Arboreous Animator. By spending 1 minute spreading its

primordial sap can magically animate that tree for as long as it
inhabits the tree and the tree remains intact. While inhabiting a
tree, the primordial sap’s statistics change as follows:
• Any damage that would be dealt to the sap is instead dealt to
the tree, which has 171 (18d12 + 54) hit points and 15 AC. If
the tree is reduced to 0 hit points, it becomes inanimate and
is rendered unusable by the sap. The sap is only forced out of
the tree if the tree is burned or completely destroyed,
however, and can otherwise hide inside it indefinitely.

target is grappled (escape DC 17). Until the grapple ends, the
target takes 18 (4d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage at the start of
each of its turns. The root has AC 15 and can be severed by
dealing 10 slashing/fire damage or more to it at once. Cutting
the root doesn't damage the tree, but ends the grapple.

Primordial Sap
Out from the hollow of a tree seeps a primordial sap, a large, Art by Daarken >>
yellowish-green blob of gelatinous goo that hungers for flesh and
blood. Possessing the unique ability to take over trees and grant
them mobility, a primordial sap makes for a frightening foe that is
often mistaken for a blight or awakened tree.
Ambush Predators. Primordial saps spend little time out in the
open—they only leave the safety of their animated trees in order
to feed on their prey, or to migrate to a new tree after their
previous one is damaged or destroyed. When hunting prey, a
primordial sap remains motionless within its tree for long periods
of time, waiting for a suitable target to stray too close.
Once a creature gets within range of its attacks, it lashes
out, slamming it with the branches of its tree and grasping
it with its roots. Its innate magic grants the tree it takes
over immense strength, making it a tougher enemy than
the blights and awakened trees it is often mistaken for.
Back From the Dead. When a primordial sap’s tree
is damaged beyond repair by prey that it underestimated,
it doesn’t leave the tree immediately. It “plays dead” for a
while, waiting for the coast to clear before it finds another
tree and resumes its hunt. If the fight was close, it may track
down the creature that defeated it and attack again. Adventurers
that know of a primordial sap’s weakness to fire,
however, can use this weakness to force it out
of its tree and destroy it for good.

Alternate Attacks
HIS MINI SUPPLEMENT HAS THREE MAIN
Goals: to make martial combat more engaging, to
increase weapon variety, and to mildly buff martial
classes. With this system, every weapon has one or
more alternate attack options, which you can
choose to use in place of a normal weapon attack
whenever you would make one. These alternate
attacks are meant to be situationally useful. You
are still expected to make normal weapon attacks much of the
time, but when the opportunity arises you can take advantage of
one of these other options.
A weapon’s alternate attacks have a smaller damage die
compared to attacking with that weapon normally, but also have
secondary effects. The damage die used for an alternate attack
appears in parentheses next to each alternate attack option in the
Alternate Attacks by Weapon table. If two damage dice appear in
the parentheses, the first is for when the weapon is wielded in one
hand, and the second is for when its wielded in two. The
secondary effects of each alternate attack option are described in
the List of Alternate Attack Options below.
Die Changes and Unarmed Attacks
If something else also changes the size of a weapon’s damage
die, such as shillelagh or monk’s Martial Arts feature, the
damage die of its alternate attacks change proportionally, so they
are always the same amount of die-sizes below the die used for
attacking normally. For example, a 17th level monk wielding a
shortsword would have a damage die of 1d8 for its Maneuver
and Protect alternate attacks, but 1d10 when attacking normally.
Also, if a character’s unarmed strike has a damage die of 1d4
or higher, its unarmed strike gains any two of the Daze, Feint,
Maneuver, and Oppose alternate attacks, each of which are 1
die-size lower than attacking normally. As an action, a character
can change its stance, allowing it to change its two alternate
attack options to a different combination of those four.
