Ghûl’s MendingTongue Prerequisite: Ghûl The resilience that protects most of your people from catching diseases from the corpses that you eat is stronger in you, granting you a limited ability to pass that resilience on to others. With your maw, you consume death and give life. The world is changing, and you with it. You can spend 10 minutes ministering to a wounded (and willing) living creature other than yourself, during which time you lick up blood and carefully adjust injured flesh back into its proper place. You heal the target for 1d4 points of damage. This amount increases as you gain levels, healing 2d4 at 5th level, 3d4 at 11th level, and 4d4 at 17th level. Alternatively, if the subject is suffering from an ongoing poison or disease effect, your ministrations can instead grant a bonus to the target’s next saving throw against that effect. This bonus is +1 at 1st level, +2 at 5th, +3 at 11th, and +4 at 17th. If you use the ability in this way, it does not also cure damage with the same usage. Any given creature can only benefit from this ability (regardless of which version you elected to employ) once per day. Once you’ve used this ability three times, you can’t use it again until after a short or long rest. Herbalist’s Touch In Redoubt, few things are green anymore, so perhaps it’s most accurate to say that you have a “yellow thumb.” You are able to coax life from plants and even eke a modicum of garden-sustenance from corrupted soil. You gain the following benefits: w You gain proficiency with herbalism kits, and add your proficiency bonus twice to rolls involving these kits. (This cannot combine with other sources that add your proficiency bonus, such as Expertise.) w You can support yourself in a poor lifestyle by tending a garden (yours or someone else’s). w When growing plants, you can grow them in corrupted soil or domains of Woe (page 256), as long as at least half of the soil used to pot the plant isn’t corrupted. While the plants may be unusual, withered, and twisted, they still produce healthy shoots and seeds. w As long as you have a source of uncorrupted plants and an herbalism kit, you can make antitoxins or potions of healing (as described in the PHB) without cost and without the expenditure of spell slots or components. Assuming you are limited to a small personal garden, you have enough supplies to make one potion of healing or one antitoxin per month. (Note that these herbal elixirs go bad after six months, so they cannot be stockpiled indefinitely.) Life Amongthe Dead Living so close to the hordes of unlife has let the pall of death seep into you. You gain the following benefits: w Unintelligent undead are neutral to you and don’t attack you unless you attack them first, cast a spell on them, or otherwise force them to make a saving throw, or they are commanded to do so. w You have advantage on saving throws against all innate supernatural attacks of the undead, such as a wight’s Life Drain attack. (This includes the Woe save to resist the spiritual damage caused by most undead; see “Woe Saving Throws,” page 255.) This doesn’t apply to spells or powers that the creature possesses for reasons other than being undead, such as an undead sage’s spells. w You do suffer one downside to your exposure to the energies of unlife. When you die, the DM adds +1 to the roll on The Dead Rise table. Martial Arts Training After training in a martial arts school, you learn its secrets to better prevail in combat. You gain the following benefits: w You can acquire and use martial opportunity points (MOPs). If you can already do this because of your class, you add +1 MOP to any that you gain with an even-numbered attack roll. w You can spend these points on universal martial exploits and one other category of martial exploits, called a Martial Way. This Martial Way must be one taught by your martial school and selected when you gain this feat. If you are already trained in a Martial Way through your class, you acquire an additional Martial Way. See “Martial Schools,” later in this chapter, for more. Mystic Purity The spark of ancient magic still lingers within you, and struggles against the corruption that burns its way through threads of the arcane. You have resistance to spiritual damage caused by spellcasting (whether ritual or otherwise), and advantage on Woe saves you are forced to make by casting spells. This doesn’t affect pneuma damage or Woe saves caused by your other actions, or by any other sources. Ouazi GirgaEye While most people consider the girga little more than a leather sling, you have learned to place your shots with it exactly where you want them, and your lead bullets can crush heads as easily as a hammer does. You gain the following benefits: w Double the range increments of any girga or sling you wield. w As a bonus action, you may ignore any Armor Class bonus that your target gains from a shield when you attack with a girga or sling before the end of your turn. w Using a loaded girga to make a melee attack doesn’t count as using an improvised weapon for you. Treat such attacks as though they were made with a club that has the Finesse property. Surinzan Sleaghar Dance You have practiced, honed, and mastered the chaotic spin of the sleaghar, the heavy-bladed shortspear favored by the Surinzan people. Even if you do not study one of the martial disciplines, such as Iron Gate or Storm’s Eye, you have learned the fundamentals of the dance that makes the sleaghar so deadly. You gain the following benefits: w If you move at least 10 feet on your turn before you make an attack, you add +2 damage to any hit with a sleaghar, spear, or trident before the end of that turn. w When you use a Dodge action while wielding a sleaghar, spear, or trident, you may Disengage as a bonus action. w When you wield a sleaghar, spear, or trident, it gains the Finesse property. Well-Connected You excel at making useful allies and at managing your connections. (See “Connections,” page 159.) You gain the following benefits: w Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20. w You may maintain a number of connections equal to 2 + your Charisma modifier (minimum 3), instead of just your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). w You have advantage on any Charisma check to make or deal with a connection. w When you fail to perform a favor for a connection in a given month, you may make a Charisma (Deception or Persuasion) check, opposed by the connection’s Wisdom (Insight) check. If you win, you keep the connection instead of losing it.

You can use two-handed weapons with one hand. **Oathbound** ** ***Prerequisite: You must have an oath* * *Oaths have a special meaning and hold power within universal forces. When someone takes an oath, some of these forces start to watch the oathbound. These forces can be fiends trying to make the oathbound deviate from the righteous path, or angels that wish to help, reward, or punish them according to their actions. You made an oath, whether you know the facts above or not; either to yourself, to another person, or to a celestial. Now, the oath is one of the most important things in your life and you are bound to it. Until you fulfill your oath, you have a +2 bonus on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws that are directly related to your oath. Whether the roll is directly related or not is determined by the GM. If you break your oath, you take a -2 penalty to all ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws until you atone for your mistake or are targeted by a *wish *spell. To atone, you must either spend 40 days in seclusion without talking and with no one to talk to, thinking about your sins and wrongdoings, or you must be blessed by the *bless *spell cast by a good-aligned spellcaster of 17th level or higher. When you fulfill your oath, you are no longer oathbound. You do, however, receive the blessing of the divine; granting you a +2 bonus to all ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws. GMs may choose to give this feat to a character when it takes a serious oath, even if the character shouldn’t be able to gain a new feat under normal circumstances. Keep in mind, you can only receive blessing from the divine once in this way. So, for instance, you do not gain the bonuses again if you take a second oath and then fulfill it. **Pain-Bearer** ** ***Prerequisite: Constitution 13 or higher* * *You were always eager to take the damage and to suffer the pain instead of your loved ones.

You gain the following benefits: • Increase one ability score of your choice by 1, to a maximum of 20. • Once per day, the first attack that drops you to 0 hit points misses you instead. Since you have no control over the angels watching you, the GM decides if you can benefit from this feature. • If anything tries to harm you while you are taking a long rest, you become aware of the threat just before you are harmed, which keeps you from being surprised. **Wings of Light** ** ***Prerequisite: Light-Touched* * *Wings made of your innate light sprout from your back.

You gain the following benefits with this feat: • Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • The damage of your bite attack increases by one die size (i.e., d6 increases to d8, d4 to d6, d3 to d4, etc.). • When you make a bite attack against a creature you have grappled or that is otherwise restrained, you have advantage on the attack roll. • If you hit an opponent within 5 feet of you with a melee weapon attack as part of an Attack action, you can use your bonus action to attack the same target with your bite. Born Rider The orcs are said to be among the most talented riders on Ghelspad, but they are not the only people to rely on domesticated beasts as mounts. With this feat, you gain the following benefits: • You have advantage on all Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks when handling any domesticated beast that is trained as a mount. • You use only 5 feet of your movement to mount or dismount a creature that has been trained as a mount. • When you are mounted and not incapacitated, your mount’s movement speed increases by 10 feet. • When you are mounted and not incapacitated, if your mount provokes an opportunity attack while you’re on it, you can choose whether the attacker targets you or the mount. Cabalist *Prerequisites: Ability to cast at least one arcane spell, proficiency in Religion, must worship one or more gods* * *When wizards first learned to write down magic into symbols and ciphers, some among them also began to harness the power of the holy writings of the gods for themselves. These secrets, collectively known as the cabal, have been transmitted from master to apprentice down through the centuries. You have learned these secrets and how to weave them into your spells. You can use a holy symbol as an arcane focus to cast your spells. In addition, you gain the Channel Divinity feature: **Channel Divinity** ** **You gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You start with two Channel Divinity effects: Invocation of Wrath and Litany of Reliance. When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again. If you already have Channel Divinity from another source, you gain one extra use of Channel Divinity. **Channel Divinity: Invocation of Wrath. **You can convert a spell’s damage into another type of damage. When you cast a spell that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder damage, you can use Channel Divinity to change the damage to any other one of those same damage types. **Channel Divinity: Litany of Reliance. **You can use divine energy to support a spell when it would be interrupted (by *counterspell *or a similar effect) or dispelled. As a reaction, when a spell you cast would be dispelled or interrupted, you can use your Channel Divinity to negate the dispelling or interrupting spell or effect. Campaigner *Prerequisites: Proficiency with medium armor Antirequisite: Hollow legionnaire* * *Whether you joined willingly, studied at a war college, or served as a sentence for criminal behavior, you have endured the harshness of military campaigning far away from home. You gain the following benefits: • Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • You have advantage on Constitution saving throws to avoid exhaustion when you travel for more than 8 hours in a day. • When you are moving at travel pace, you contribute your Wisdom (Perception) to noticing threats even when you are engaged in another activity (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking). • During a long rest, you can stand watch for 1 additional hour. This doesn’t change the time required for you to complete a long rest. • You can don or doff a suit of medium or heavy armor in half the time normally required (minimum 1 minute). Chain Master *Prerequisite: Proficiency with the spiked chain *The spiked chain (see Chapter 5) is one of the favored weapons of followers of Chardun, for it represents one’s bonds of servitude to the Slaver. Ancient techniques first developed by the charduni dwarves allow you to extend this weapon’s effectiveness. When you hit a creature with a spiked chain, you can use a bonus action to attempt to grapple the target. You can use another bonus action to release the target. As long as the grapple lasts, you can’t use the spiked chain to make attacks. If you drop the spiked chain, the target remains grappled until it uses an action to escape (no check required). When you wield a spiked chain, you can also use a bonus action to gain any one of the following benefits: • You gain a +1 bonus to AC. • The weapon loses the two-handed property and gains the versatile property, dealing 2d4 piercing damage when you wield it in two hands. • When you take the Attack action, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with the opposite end of the spiked chain. The weapon’s damage die for this purpose is 1d4, and the attack deals piercing or slashing damage (your choice). The chosen benefit remains in effect until you end it (no action required), you become incapacitated, or you change to another benefit. Deft Climber *Prerequisites: Dexterity 13 or higher* * *Your agility is unsurpassed when it comes to climbing and maneuvering as you climb. You gain the following benefits: • Climbing does not cost you extra movement. You can use Dexterity rather than Strength when you make an ability check to climb. • You can ignore difficult terrain while crawling. • If a trap or natural hazard would cause you to fall, you can use your reaction to avoid falling. • You can use a climber’s kit as a bonus action instead of an action. Dreadful You are a master of fear in all its forms, and you are difficult to rattle. You gain the following benefits: • Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. • You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses that skill. • You can try to frighten a creature within 30 feet of you that can see and hear you. As an action, you make a Charisma (Intimidation) check contested by the target’s Wisdom saving throw. If you succeed, the target is frightened of you until the end of your next turn. This is a nonmagical effect. • When you cast a spell or use a class feature that would render one or more targets frightened, you can choose to either double the range of the effect, or target twice as many creatures as you could normally affect within range. • When you cast a spell or use a class feature that would render one or more targets frightened, the duration of the effect is doubled if it is normally 1 minute or longer; if the effect normally lasts for less than 1 minute, you can increase its duration to 1 minute, but the target can make a new saving throw at the end of each of its turn, ending the effect on a successful save. Drendali Adept *Prerequisite: Elf (drendali), Charisma 13 or higher* * *In the darkened tunnels around Dier Drendal, you learned to use your magic to prowl the caves undetected. You can cast the *silent image *spell at will, without needing a material component. You use Charisma as the spellcasting ability for this spell. You can also cast the *invisibility *spell once. You regain the ability to cast this spell when you finish a short or long rest. If you belong to a spellcasting class, you add *invisibility *and *silent image *to your spells known or prepared. They are class spells for you and don’t count against the number of spells you know or can have prepared. Efficient Artisan *Prerequisite: Proficiency with at least one type of artisan’s tools* * *Your efficient hands have completed so many works that you could almost perform your craft in your sleep. When you spend a day of downtime to craft an item related to your specialty, you can craft one or more items with a total market value of 10 gp or less; you must still expend raw materials worth half the total market value. If something you want to craft has a market value greater than 10 gp, you make progress every day in 10-gp increments until you reach the market value of the item. Alternately, given just a couple of hours, which can be part of a long rest, you can craft crude but functional versions of simple items related to your specialty, as shown on the table below. Items crafted this way are fragile and have only half their normal hit points. You must have the appropriate artisan’s tools and enough raw materials. Alchemist’s supplies Healing salves (replenishes 1d4 uses of a healer’s kit); one dose of weak basic poison (save DC 8) Calligrapher’s supplies 2d6 ink pens; 1d4 ounces of ink; 1d3 sheets of cloth paper Carpenter’s tools One crude sled or raft; one makeshift shelter for up to 6 Medium creatures Cook’s utensils 2d4 days’ rations; 1d3 pints of oil Fletcher’s tools One shortbow; 3d4 arrows or bolts Leatherworker’s tools One suit of padded armor; one pouch or sack Smith’s tools One dagger, club, or spear; one grappling hook or horseshoe; 1d4 iron spikes or pitons Tinker’s tools One dagger; 2d4 sling bullets; one lamp Weaver’s tools One blanket; one set of common clothes; bandages (replenishes 1d4 uses of a healer’s kit) Woodcarver’s tools One shield; one ladder; 2d4 torches Other items might be possible using these or other tool proficiencies. In general, only simple items normally costing 1 gp or less should be permitted, and only if it seems reasonable that a crude version could be crafted by a highly skilled artisan in a couple of hours. Ferocious You can fight viciously when cut off from friends and allies. You gain the following benefits when you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature and no friendly creatures are within 30 feet of you: • At the start of your turn, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum 1 hit point). • You can use a bonus action to make one melee weapon attack. • You have advantage on attack rolls with opportunity attacks. Flesh Eater Something about forbidden flesh fills you with a vigor you never get from normal food. You gain the following benefits: • Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • You gain a bite attack that acts as a finesse weapon with which you have proficiency. This attack deals 1d4 piercing damage. If you already have a bite attack, its damage increases by one die size (i.e., d4 increases to d6, or d3 to d4, etc.). • When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack on your turn, you can use a bonus action to move up to half your speed and make a bite attack. • At the end of a short or long rest during which you consume at least half a pound of flesh, you gain temporary hit points equal to 1/2 the Intelligence score of the creature whose flesh you have eaten (minimum 1 hit point). Ghost Speaker The Divine War left a plague of ghosts, spirits, and walking dead in its wake, especially in places like the Devil’s March, the Festering Fields, and the Perforated Plains. In other places, such as Hollowfaust and Glivivd-Autel, spirits are nearly as common as the living. You have learned how to communicate with the undead, whether in the hope of ending their torments or as a means to obtain forbidden lore. You gain the following benefits: • Increase your Intelligence or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • You can comprehend and verbally communicate with the undead, even if they cannot normally speak. Their willingness to communicate with you is limited by their intelligence and their general attitude toward the living, but even if they might attack you shortly afterward, they can usually be persuaded to give you information about nearby locations and monsters, including whatever they can perceive or have perceived within the past day. • When you make an Insight or Persuasion check against a non-hostile undead, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of those skills. Glyph Adept *Prerequisite: The ability to cast 3rd-level spells* * *Sigils and symbols hold power, as the dwarves have long known, and some spellcasters have perfected the art of storing spells in magical glyphs. You gain the following benefits: • Increase your Intelligence or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • You add *glyph of warding *to your spells known or prepared. It is a class spell for you and doesn’t count against the number of spells you know or can have prepared. • When you cast *glyph of warding*, its casting time is reduced to 10 minutes. • When you cast *glyph of warding *to produce explosive runes, you can have the runes deal acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder damage. • If another creature attempts to counter or dispel a *glyph of warding *you cast, your glyph is treated as being 1 level higher than the level at which you actually cast it. • Once you are able to cast 7th-level spells (or if you are already able to), you add *symbol *to your spells known or prepared. It is a class spell for you and doesn’t count against the number of spells you know or can have prepared. Ironskin *Prerequisite: Constitution 13 or higher* * *Vigorous training and conditioning exercises have toughened your mind and body considerably, allowing you to shrug off most blows. When you take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from a nonmagical source, you can use your reaction to absorb a portion of the blow, reducing the damage by half. You can use this ability a number of times equal to 1 + your Constitution modifier (minimum once). You regain all uses of this feat when you finish a long rest. Magical Crafter *Prerequisite: The ability to cast at least one spell* * *You are an expert at crafting magical objects and making items with rare and unusual materials, both through common methods and using specific magical crafting rituals you have learned. You can create magic items in half the usual time. In addition, you gain the following benefits: • Constructs have disadvantage on their saving throws against your spells. • When you cast a spell that enhances a weapon, such as *branding smite *or *magic weapon*, that spell’s duration is doubled. • When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that targets an object or a construct, you can grant the target a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d6 per spell level. Mark of the Fallen *Antirequisite: Hollow legionnaire* * *You bear a visible mark of one of the titans, whether due to a willing act of worship or through exposure to primal energies. Bearing the mark of a titan other than Denev generally carries significant negative social stigma. You are considered to be titanspawn for any spell, class feature, or effect that specifically targets or affects titanspawn. Choose one of the marks described below. **Mark of Chern. **Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You have advantage on all saving throws against disease and being poisoned. When you are cured of a disease, you can choose to remain a carrier and spread the disease as if you still had it. **Mark of Denev. **Increase your Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You gain advantage on all Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks related to beasts, and beasts have disadvantage on saving throws against druid and ranger spells you cast. **Mark of Gaurak. **Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20. Each day you go without food counts as only half a day when determining the effects of food deprivation. If you eat at least two pounds of food during a long rest, you regain all of your Hit Dice rather than half. **Mark of Golthagga. **Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You gain proficiency with smith’s tools. When you craft a weapon, you can forge a bond between you and the weapon. You can’t be disarmed of that weapon, and it is considered magical. You can be bonded to only one weapon at a time. **Mark of Golthain. **Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You can’t be blinded or deafened by spells or magic. **Mark of Gormoth. **Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You have advantage on saving throws against exhaustion, and you are immune to the poisoned condition. **Mark of Hrinruuk. **Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20. Whenever you succeed on a Wisdom (Survival) check to track a creature, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to remain hidden from it. This benefit ends if you attack the creature. You have advantage on the first weapon attack roll you make against the tracked creature. **Mark of Kadum. **Increase your Strength score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You have advantage on ability checks and saving throws against effects that would force you to move. At the start of your turn, you can gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls during that turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until the start of your next turn. **Mark of Lethene. **Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You have resistance to lightning and thunder damage. **Mark of Mesos. **Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You can become attuned to one additional magic item. When you are the only creature targeted by a spell, you can use your reaction to gain advantage on your saving throw against that spell. **Mark of Mormo. **Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed. In addition, you can use your action to hypnotize a target within 30 feet that can see you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Charisma modifier). On a failed save, the target is charmed by you. While it is charmed, the target’s speed is reduced to 0. The target can make a new saving throw at the end of each of its turns. The effect ends once the target makes a saving throw, the target can’t see you, or the target isn’t charmed by you anymore. Once you use this ability, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. **Mark of Thulkas. **Increase your Strength score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You gain resistance to fire and radiant damage. **Mark of the Winds. **Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20. When you take the Dash action, you gain a fly speed equal to your base speed until the start of your next turn. You must concentrate to maintain this flight, as if you were concentrating on a spell. If you lose your concentration or fail to take the Dash action at the start of your next turn, you fall. Military Student *Prerequisite: Proficiency with at least two martial weapons* * *You have learned the art of war through military service or as a student in a famous military academy such as one of the War Colleges in Darakeene, where you were trained to fight alongside others as a cohesive tactical unit. You gain the following benefits: • When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can use the Help action as a bonus action to assist an ally in attacking the same target. Your ally must be within 5 feet of the target you hit with your attack. • You can study an opponent’s style to discern a weakness in its defenses. Choose a hostile creature you can see within 5 feet of you. You can use a bonus action to gain advantage on attack rolls against the target until the start of your next turn. Once you have used this ability against a creature, you can’t use it against the same creature until you finish a short or long rest. • As long as you can see at least one friendly creature within 60 feet of you that is not incapacitated, you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Nimble You are known for your graceful gait and your ability to remain on your feet. With this feat, you gain the following benefits: • Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • You can use your Dexterity instead of your Strength to determine the distance you can jump. • You have advantage on saving throws against being knocked prone, and standing up from prone costs you only 5 feet of movement. • When you fall, you can use your reaction to take half damage from the fall. You are not prone after landing. Pious *Prerequisite: Must worship a god* * *Your profound devotion has drawn the attention of your deity, who protects and helps you in time of need. You gain the following benefits: • You gain proficiency with your deity’s favored weapon. • You can use your god’s favored weapon or a divine token (see the table below) as a spellcasting focus to cast divine spells. Divine tokens are mundane items related to your deity that can easily be found or crafted and don’t require special preparation. • You gain the Channel Divinity feature (see below). **Channel Divinity** ** **You gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You gain two Channel Divinity effects: Call of the Faithful and Shield the Pious. When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again. If you already have Channel Divinity from another source, you gain one extra use of Channel Divinity. **Channel Divinity: Call of the Faithful. **When you make an ability check related to your god’s sphere of influence (as shown on the table below), you can use your Channel Divinity to gain advantage on that check. The spheres of influence are broad so that they might apply to many situations or ability checks. Your GM can let you know if using Channel Divinity in this way will provide a benefit. **Channel Divinity: Shield the Pious. **When you are the target of an attack that you can see, you can use your Channel Divinity to impose disadvantage on the attack roll.v Rancorous Some cultures or peoples have longstanding feuds against specific types of enemies. Choose a type of hated enemy from the following list: aberrations, beasts, constructs, elementals, fey, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively, you can select two races of humanoid (such as orcs and slitherin). You gain the following benefits with regard to your hated enemies: • Your attacks against hated enemies score a critical hit on a 19 or 20. • If a hated enemy leaves your reach, it provokes an opportunity attack from you even if it uses the Dis-engage action or a similar ability. • You have advantage on Intelligence checks to recall information about your hated enemies. • You learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your hated enemies, if they speak one at all. Sea Dog Having solid ground beneath your feet will never feel as natural to you as the rolling deck of a ship. You gain the following benefits: v • Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • You gain proficiency with any one of the following weapons: club, dagger, handaxe, light crossbow, net, shortbow, shortsword, spear, or whip. • You gain proficiency in the Nature skill, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make with that skill regarding coastlines, islands, or weather. • You gain proficiency with any two of the following tools: carpenter’s tools, cook’s utensils, navigator’s tools, vehicles (water), or any one type of musical instrument. • You have advantage on Acrobatics checks made to keep your balance and on Athletics checks made to climb. v Shadow Mage *Prerequisite: Ability to cast at least one illusion spell* You are a skilled illusionist, and your illusions are more potent when you remain in the shadows. You gain the following benefits: • You learn the *minor illusion* cantrip. Choose Intel-ligence, Wisdom, or Charisma as your spellcasting ability for this cantrip. • You add *silent image* to your spells known or prepared. It is a class spell for you and doesn’t count against the number of spells you know or can have prepared. • When you cast an illusion spell while you are in an area of dim light or darkness, any creature interacting with the illusion has disadvantage on its saving throws against the spell and on Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to disbelieve the illusion. • When you take the Hide action while you are in an area of dim light or darkness, you have advantage on the Dexterity (Stealth) check. Spire Legionnaire *Prerequisite: Hollow legionnaire* * *The Gleaming Valley and its spires are fundamental to the life of a hollow legionnaire. The lost souls that comprise the Hollow Legion draw power from their affiliation from the various spires in order to gain strength as adventurers. You gain proficiency with medium armor, plus the follow-ing benefits, depending on your character’s spire affiliation: **Adamantine Spire.** Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20. Your hit point maximum increases by 1 per level you have, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level. **Golden Spire.** Increase your Wisdom or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You can’t be blinded by bright light or similar effects. You learn the *light* cantrip. **Iron Spire.** Increase your Strength or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You gain proficiency in the In-timidation skill. When a creature you can see hits another creature within 5 feet of you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by half. You take the remainder of the damage. **Mithril Spire.** Increase your Intelligence or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20. Your base walking speed increases by 5 feet. Wearing armor doesn’t reduce your speed or impose disadvantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks. **Silver Spire.** Increase your Intelligence or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. Stalwart *Prerequisite: Constitution 13 or higher* * *You can go on fighting when others would collapse and give up. You have advantage on saving throws against being exhausted or stunned. In addition, when you are stunned or exhausted, you can try to shake it off. You can use a bonus action to reduce your exhaustion level by 1. Alternately, at the end of your turn, you can make a new saving throw against any effect that has imposed the stunned condition on you, ending that condition on a success (the save DC is equal to that of the effect that stunned you, or DC 10, whichever is higher). In either case, once you use this ability, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Wild Scent *Prerequisite: Asaatthi, manticora, or slitherin* * *Your people were created or evolved as predators and hunters. While they have become more civilized, some among them are throwbacks, atavists with bestial traits akin to those of your earliest ancestors. You have fully functional scent glands that grant you a stereoscopic sense of smell, like that of a mole, making you an excellent tracker and giving you a limited ability to “see” with your nose. You gain the following benefits: • You have advantage on Perception and Survival checks that involve your sense of smell. • If you are blinded, attack rolls you make against creatures within 30 feet of you do not have disad-vantage. Other creatures still have advantage on their attack rolls against you while you are blinded. • You gain blindsight out to a range of 10 feet. You can’t detect creatures that don’t emit smells using this ability, such as incorporeal or ethereal crea-tures. Alternatively, creatures that emit a strong odor may be detected from further away. You can’t use this ability if you lose your sense of smell. City of cresent **Firearm Expert:** ** **Thanks to extensive practice with firearms, you gain the following benefits: You ignore the loading quality of firearms with which you are proficient. Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls. When you use the Attack action and attack with a one-handed weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a one-handed repeating gun you are holding. **The Fortune-teller:** When you gain this feat, your inner-eye will awaken, and you will get the ability to see glimpses into possible futures. Your Wisdom score increases by 1. You can cast augury once a day, without expending a slot but only as a ritual. You can use marble-mugs, someone else’s hands, tarot cards, arrow heads, or any other cultural fortune-telling items as your material component. By casting it this way augury chooses a target, instead of an event, that will take place 30-minutes in the future. The DM may provide some omens and crypted messages about the future of the target of this spell, e.g. love life, death, birth, opportunities, wealth, family, friends, politics, failures, treachery, and more. Usually these omens are highly obscure and rarely a direct prophecy. **The Urban Hunter: ** You gain the following benefits: Increase your Intelligence or Wisdom score by 1. You gain the Survival or Investigation skill. If you are already proficient in the skill, you double your proficiency bonus for that skill. When you take the search action or make a Survival check to analyze clues and tracks in an urban area, you can learn the creature’s type. **Strong Breath:** Your breath is considered one of the strong breaths that have healing properties among society. You gain the following benefits: You can cast exorcize djinni or *remove curse* once a day, without using a spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. You learn the purifying breath or guidance cantrips. **Djinn’s Foul Touch** **: **You were once in contact with a djinn. This event affected you in the following ways: *You learn evil eye, knot the luck, or viscious mockery* cantrips. You can cast *nazar or bestow curse* once a day, without using a spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. Zeitgeist Docker’s Jank In a band, every musician has to know his bandmates’ parts in case they need to switch places or pick up the slack. Choose up to four allies; you may change your chosen allies if you spend a few hours training with them. You and those allies can each use Help as a bonus action, but only to aid you or one of your chosen allies. Once a character uses this ability, he or she must take a short or long rest before doing so again. Additionally, once per day as a bonus action you can shout a line from an inspiring song to grant an ally a Bardic Inspiration die, a d6. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level. Except for the limited use, this functions as the Bardic Inspiration feature. Proper Ending With the dire knowledge that the world shall end in ice, you do what you can to prevent such fate from befalling your allies. As a bonus action, you can touch a dying creature or a creature that died in the past round. That creature is restored to life if dead, stabilizes, and is considered to have failed no death saving throws, but remains unconscious. The body must be relatively intact. This ability doesn’t function on decapitated or disintegrated creatures, for example. As an action, you can concentrate on your own mortality in order to manifest a zone of cold in a 10-foot radius around you. Once manifested, the zone is stationary, and it lasts until you dismiss it as a bonus action, or you fall unconscious. At the start of your turn, creatures in the zone take 1d6 cold damage. This increases to 2d6 at 5th level, 3d6 at 11th level, and 4d6 at 17th level. Creatures in the zone cannot heal or gain temporary hit points. Since you manifested this fragment of the world’s icy end, you are affected by the zone even if you are not inside it, and you cannot reduce the damage this power deals to you by any means. Other creatures’ resistances and immunities can still protect them. Once you manifest this zone, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest. The Man with Two Guns Is God You have discovered the coolest fighting style in the world. You can draw and stow two firearms when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one. You can use two weapon fighting with dual pistols (or target pistols) just as with light melee weapons. Any creature you attack with a firearm cannot make opportunity attacks until the start of your next turn. You are proficient in gunsmithing tools. Crafting common firearms only requires time and money. Crafting a grenade takes 25 gp of materials. Doing it safely takes 10 days of work, or you can rush it in 1 day, but then must succeed on a DC 10 Intelligence check or else the grenade explodes and injures you. Likewise, you can craft target pistols, rifled carbines, or rifled muskets by paying half their price for raw materials, then spending a day for every 5 gp of total price to craft the item from scratch. Or you can take a normal firearm, spend 25 gp on a rifling kit, and successfully make a DC 10 Intelligence check to upgrade the weapon in a single day. If you fail this check, the weapon is ruined. Whenever you take a long rest, choose two firearms in your possession to maintain. Those weapons cannot misfire for 24 hours. Martial Studies Research is important for science and for combat. If you don’t know just the right fighting technique, you’re pretty sure someone else has published a thesis about it. You gain proficiency in one martial melee and one martial ranged weapon. In addition, every martial scientist learns the Experimental Strike technique. During the campaign you will have the opportunity to learn new techniques. Keep track of which you know. At the end of a long rest, choose one technique you know. You have access to that technique for the day. **Experimental Strike (Martial Scientist Technique) **Scientific breakthroughs are born of both careful study and wild experimentation. Whenever you use the Attack action and miss with every attack, you may make an improvised attack without spending an action, such as slicing a rope to pin an enemy with a chandelier, or smashing a pipe to spray blinding steam on an enemy. Make an Intelligence check and add your proficiency bonus; the GM determines the DC based on how difficult the task is. For example, dropping a chandelier straight down might very easy (DC 5), but slicing it, grabbing it to arrest its fall and make it jostle, then releasing it at the perfect moment so it swings laterally and flies at an enemy ten feet away might be hard (DC 20). The GM should refer to the core rules for guidelines on the effects of improvised attacks. Circumstances will dictate how many foes are affected, how much damage is dealt, and whether any conditions can be applied (such as prone or blinded), but generally this should do at least “setback” damage. After you use experimental strike you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest. Skyseer Vision As a bonus action you may touch an ally and give them insight into future actions. The touched ally chooses one of the following — attack roll, saving throw, ability check, or skill check — and then rolls a d20. The next time the ally would make the same type of roll before the end of the encounter, they may use the previously rolled result or opt to make a new roll. If the ally has advantage or disadvantage, only the first roll is replaced. After using this ability you must take a short or long rest before you can use it again. As part of a long rest during which the night sky is visible, you may focus your mind on the future and receive a prophetic dream regarding one question. Upon completion of your rest you awaken with insights into the future as though you had cast a divination spell regarding a task you plan to take the following day. Unfinished Business You possess a deep understanding of spirits and the ties that bind them to the mortal world. With the simplest of actions and words, you can stir the recently deceased into action. With your urging, the spirit of a recently dead person will speak briefly with you. You can cast speak with dead. The body must be within three miles of where it died, and must not have died more than a day ago. You do not require a complete body as the ability speaks with the spirit and needs no corporeal connection. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. At the GM’s discretion, you could also use this power to communicate with uneasy spirits who have not yet moved on, regardless of how long ago they died. Using this power against undead, or in any combat situation for that matter, is possible but very difficult. By expending this power you can force an undead creature you can see to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). If it fails, you may take control of it for one round, as the dominate monster spell. Alternately you can call up the spirit of a creature whose body you can see that died in the past five minutes. It does not receive a save to resist. Its spirit manifests in a space you choose within 25 feet of you, and performs a single action of your choice as if it were still alive, then disappears. Disposable Simulacrum. By spending 10 gp to acquire the necessary parts, you can craft a contraption, which functions somewhat similarly to a familiar called by the *find familiar *spell. When deactivated it weighs 5 lbs. and can fit in a pouch or pocket, but you can infuse a bit of your life force into the contraption so that it becomes animate. As a bonus action, you can activate your contraption and place it in an unoccupied adjacent space, at which point it becomes a Tiny construct creature, with a form roughly similar to one of the animals available with *find familiar*. The contraption has that animal’s stats, with the following adjustments. It uses your AC and save bonuses (if higher), and its hit point maximum is 2 times your character level. Your contraption acts on your initiative; it moves where you direct it. To get it to take any other action, such as Dash, Disengage, Dodge, or Help, you must spend an action to control it. Additionally, your contraption can be designed to perform one special task, such as attacking with a natural or light weapon you integrate into its body, casting a single spell you store in it, or using some other ability (like Lay on Hands or Deflect Missiles) you have access to. You still must spend the appropriate type of action to have your contraption perform this task, and spells or abilities used through the contraption count towards your daily limit. Since it is bonded to you, however, the contraption performs this one special task as if you were performing the action in its space. Changing this special task requires an hour of tinkering. Changing the contraption’s shape requires eight hours at a properly furnished workshop. You can only control one contraption at a time. Your contraption only functions while within 120 feet of you, beyond which it deactivates. While within that range, you can spend an action to see and hear from its space until the start of your next turn, during which time you are blind and deaf with regard to your own senses. If reduced to 0 hit points, the contraption is automatically deactivated and you must spend an hour making repairs before you can activate it again. Replacing a lost contraption costs 10 gp and takes eight hours at a properly furnished workshop. At 5th level you can spend 100 gp to craft a contraption in the shape of a Medium or smaller animal of up to CR ½. At 10th level you can spend 1,000 gp to craft a contraption in the shape of a Large or smaller animal of up to CR 1. The larger the animal, the larger a weapon that can be integrated into its body. Hand of Retribution You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill, or another skill if you already have Intimidation. In battle, a vestige of the power of Srasama waits to punish those who harm your allies. When an enemy you’re aware of deals damage to one of your allies, as a reaction you can deal 1d4 radiant damage to the enemy who made the attack. That enemy sees a faint burning outline of a six-armed goddess hovering behind you, which then lashes out in retaliation with blades of fire. You cannot use this power twice against the same creature in the same encounter. After you use this power six times, you must take a long rest before you can use it again. At 5th level, the damage increases to 1d4 radiant and 1d4 fire. At 11th level, the enemy also catches on fire and takes 1d4 fire damage each round until it spends an action to make a DC 10 Dexterity check to put the fire out. At 17th level, using this ability does not require spending your reaction. Display of Heroism You unfortunately have great experience rescuing allies on the battlefield. As an action you can assist an ally who is imperiled. You can lift the ally to their feet if they are prone, and if you have any movement left for the turn you can drag the ally with you. Until the start of your next turn, as long as the ally remains beside you, any attacks made against that ally have disadvantage. Your heroic example can rouse your ally’s, even from the brink of consciousness, allowing the ally to spend a hit die to heal. Only 1 point is actual healing; the rest are temporary hit points. At 5th level you can do this as a bonus action. At 10th level this no longer requires any action, though you can help no more than two allies this way per turn. *** Akuma*** Ancestral Weapon By showing your inherited weapon great reverence, devotion, and care, you unlock the ancestral power stored within it. You gain the following benefits. • Choose a weapon (or two weapons with the Light quality) that is not a firearm or part of an augmetic. This becomes your ancestral weapon. You treat your ancestral weapon with the same reverence you would a holy book or symbol. Accordingly, you never willingly part with your ancestral weapon—you may not sell it, lend it to others, or otherwise abandon it. If for any reason your ancestral weapon is taken from you, you must do everything in your power to recover it. • Your ancestral weapon can gain an enchantment bonus to attack and damage equal to half your proficiency bonus. Enchanting your ancestral weapon costs 500 gp per point of bonus it gains. Increasing the enchantment bonus of your ancestral weapon or altering its abilities requires a ritual that takes one full day. • You also receive a number of enchantment points equal to half your proficiency bonus to spend on the effects below. Each effect may only be chosen once. ***Bloody. ***Each time you score a critical hit with your ancestral weapon, your target takes your weapon’s enchantment bonus to damage at the start of its turn every round until the wound is stanched with a successful Wisdom (Medicine) check (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus) or the target receives magical healing. ***Elemental (2 points). ***Choose one of the following types of energy: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, psychic, or thunder. Your ancestral weapon deals an additional 1d4 damage of that energy type. This damage multiplies on a critical hit. ***Forceful. ***When striking a creature or object that is immune to bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, the creature treats their immunity as resistance instead. By selecting this effect a second time, your weapon ignores a creature’s immunity or resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. ***Graceful. ***The first time you attack with your ancestral weapon on each of your turns, you can transfer some or all of your weapon’s enchantment bonus to attack and damage to your Armor Class instead. For instance, you could reduce your enchantment bonus on attack and damage rolls by 1, and gain a +1 bonus to AC. If you possess two ancestral weapons, you must reduce both weapons’ enchantment bonus to attack and damage. ***Lethal. ***When you score a critical hit with your ancestral weapon, your total bonus to damage is doubled. ***Sharp. ***When attacking a target wearing armor, you receive an additional +2 bonus to the attack roll. Deductive Mind *Prerequisites: Intelligence 12, Wisdom 12, proficiency with Investigation* * *You are of a keen and investigative mind, able to piece together important details from the clues at hand no matter how little they might seem to amount to. You gain the following benefits. • When making an Intelligence (Investigation) check, you may also choose to make a Sleuth check. This may be declared at any time before the Intelligence (Investigation) check is made, or after rolling if the result of the check is 13 or less. After making a Sleuth check, you cannot make another until you have taken a long rest. • A Sleuth check reveals any information an equivalent Intelligence (Investigation) check would uncover, but it always reveals something that can proceed the adventure. The quality of the information you deduce depends on your check and the location you are in—a GM can always decide there is no information in the current location relevant to your current adventure, and provide only a clue leading to a more relevant location. Alternately, for a phenomenal check in a relevant location, a GM might reveal the current location or base of the antagonist. *For example, Bunaga the shinobibot makes an Intelligence (Investigation) check and gets a result of just 8, finding only the remains of a shattered teacup on the floor of the rice mill. He really wants to know more so he declares the check to have been a Sleuth check, and Bunaga deduces that the type of paints used on the ceramic shards are only available in the city of Henkoshimasu in the Donyuko Prefecture— the Imperial Capital of Sanbaoshi has only one paint dealer that hails from there. Hiro the detective makes an Intelligence (Investigation) check and feels as if he’s got luck on his side—he declares the check to be a Sleuth check before rolling, then gets a result of 23. He looks over the same ceramic shards Bunaga found and realizes that they are covered in a fine dust particulate with traces of red gunpowder, a compound only an alchemist could craft. Furthermore, only one scientist in Sanbaoshi is known for crafting red gunpowder and he has recently gone missing. Tasting the substance, Hiro realizes that there is salt (likely from the sea, meaning the alchemist is somewhere near the docks) mixed alongside a few grains of kafun pollen, a fern that only grows along the sands south of the Imperial Capital. Its creator must be somewhere in the southwesternmost reaches of the Peasant Ward!* * *You also gain double your proficiency bonus to your passive Investigation score. DeFiler *Prerequisites: Ability to cast spells* * *You are able to amplify the power of your spells by drawing upon the inherent energy within the lands of Soburin, leaving decay and weakness in your wake. You gain the following benefits. • Before casting a spell with a casting time of one action or less, you may spend a bonus action to defile the land around you. This defiles an area of land equal to a 5-foot radius times the level of the spell. Increase the effective level of the spell by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus. After casting the spell, make a Haitoku save (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus) or increase your Haitoku score by 1 and reduce your Dignity score by 1. For the purposes of this feat, cantrips count as 1st-level spells Descendant of the Imperial Siblings *Prerequisites: Soburi, Wisdom 13, Charisma 13, proficiency bonus +3, not a member of the Masuto or Miyaki clans* * *The power of Soburin runs exceptionally strongly in your blood and by tapping into the inherited strength of your ancestors, you are able to transform into one of the creatures revered by the Imperial Siblings. You gain the following benefits. • Choose any clan of Soburin other than Masuto or Miyaki. By spending an action you can transform into the creature associated with that clan as though under the effects of polymorph. If you would not be able to transform using the spell because the animal has a higher CR than you have level, the duration of the polymorph is reduced to a number of rounds equal to your proficiency bonus. Unlike the spell, you keep your mental scores, and your hit points remain unchanged. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. Uses of this feature recharge after a long rest. Devoted Follower *Prerequisites: Dignity 16* * *Your reputation has brought you an implacable companion that seeks to emulate your greatness and follow in your footsteps. You gain the following benefits. • You gain the services of a companion. This companion may have small differences (like a different height, weight, race, gender, or disposition) but otherwise has the same statistics you did when you were half your current level, beginning play with attribute modifiers equal to half your positive bonuses (so if you have a Strength of 18, your companion begins with a Strength of 14), or 10. At every even level, your companion gains a level (taking the same character options that you did). At the time you gain this feat, your companion trusts you implicitly and performs tasks you give them so long as they are not illegal, suicidal, or in opposition to your alignment. Your GM may decide that certain orders you give require a Dignity check against the companion’s level + proficiency bonus. If your companion dies, you lose 2d4 Dignity and must wait one month before recruiting a new companion. • Though they do not accrue levels as quickly as a PC, your companion counts as a PC for determining XP rewards. Honorable Treatment *Prerequisites: Dignity 13* * *Your uplifting reputation is well-known and earns you some small acts of kindness. You gain the following benefits. • Inns and tea houses that recognize you (a DC 8 Dignity check) give you free lodging, drink, and food. Your GM might decide that no check to be recognized is required because someone who works in the establishment knows you already or has seen you recently. • You may convince merchants to sell you goods for a more modest price. If you succeed on a DC 12 Dignity check to be recognized, you gain advantage on an ability check to determine the final price of an item that costs 250 gp or less. You may exploit your reputation to persuade merchants this way a number of times equal to your Dignity modifier. Expended uses recharge after a long rest. • You gain a number of contacts equal to your Dignity modifier plus proficiency bonus. These contacts are minor individuals (lacking great influence, extraordinary magical abilities, or martial prowess) but they are willing to do you favors. A favor might get you travel papers to another prefecture, initiate the process of setting up a formal meeting with a government official, help to sway opinion among a small section of society, or put you in touch with people that have no public persona (the full extent of a favor is at the GM’s discretion). You may only call upon any individual contact for a favor once per month and you may be required to pay back the favor in kind (at the GM’s discretion). Honored Assemblage *Prerequisites: Dignity 17, Honorable Treatment* * *Your renown has spread far and wide, and the further word spreads, the more people come to serve you and help achievepeople come to serve you and help achieve your goals. You gain the following benefits. • You gain the services of a number of NPCs with a total CR equal to your Dignity score. These NPCs will not aid you in combat or needlessly risk their lives on your behalf, but they will agree to most other tasks you ask of them (such as casting non-aggressive spells, acting as informants, providing distractions, acting as couriers, guarding you as you sleep, or serving as the staff in your estate). Instinctual Killer *Prerequisites: Haitoku 15* * *Your gaze can instill fear in your opponent, showing what true ruthlessness is before a blade is even drawn. You gain the following benefits. • You may stare down one opponent who you can see and can see you as a bonus action, forcing them to make a Dignity save versus a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Haitoku modifier. If the target fails, they gain the frightened condition until the end of your next turn. After using this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, you must finish a short or long rest before you can stare down an opponent again. Leafkiller Elementalist *Prerequisites: Warlock with the Summer, Fall, Winter, or Spring patron* * *Drawing on the natural power locked within verdant growth, you exploit the gifts of nature to bring primal power to your spells, making them as potent as possible. You gain the following benefits. • You can draw forth the energy from a piece of inert wood of a weight in pounds at least equal to the highest level spell you can cast. Doing so allows you to cast a spell you know without expending a spell slot and reduces the wood to ash. You may cast a spell this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You recover all expended uses of this feature after taking a long rest. *For example, a 10th level warlock casting charm person (a 1st-level enchantment) would expend 5 pounds of wood (because the highest spell slot she has is for 5thlevel spells).* * *• When you score a critical hit with an *eldritch blast*, the target of your blast suffers an additional 1d4 piercing damage per damage die (so if your blast deals 3d12 damage, the target takes an additional 3d4 piercing damage). ***Note. ***Wu-Jen may choose to take one aspect from this feat as an eldritch invocation. Master Forger You are a consummate artist when it comes to replicating signatures, keen to the precise details of stamps and watermarkings, knowledgeable of the types of ink and paper stock used for official documents, and familiar with all of the handwriting eccentricities of the authorities. You gain the following benefits. • You gain proficiency with the Culture skill and Forgery Kit. • You gain advantage on any ability checks made to create false Travel Papers to cross prefectures. • You know the name of at least one ryokōsai (page 17) in every prefecture and you gain advantage on any Charisma ability checks made in conjunction with bribes made to guards at any torii gate. Metallic Shredder *Prerequisites: Warlock with the Summer, Fall, Winter, or Spring patron* * *Utilizing ancient techniques and exploiting the primal essence of metallic elements, you are able to achieve truly powerful magical effects that enhance your eldritch blasts and spells. You gain the following benefits. • You may sacrifice a fragment of metal with a value of 1 gp per spell level while casting a spell. Doing so causes the metal to crumble to rust, but grants you a benefit based on the spell’s school. ***Abjuration. ***You gain advantage on one randomly determined type of ability check for a number of rounds equal to spell level. ***Conjuration. ***The duration of your spell increases by a number of rounds, minutes, or hours (as appropriate to the spell’s normal duration) equal to your proficiency bonus. ***Divination. ***You gain advantage on one randomly determined type of saving throw for a number of rounds equal to spell level.*** *** *** Enchantment. ***You gain advantage on one of the following types of checks (determined randomly) for a number of rounds equal to spell level: Deception, Insight, Intimidate, or Persuasion. ***Evocation. ***Roll 1d20; on a result of 20, the casting time of the spell is reduced to a bonus action. ***Illusion. ***Creatures are at disadvantage to resist your illusion for a number of rounds or minutes (as appropriate to the spell’s normal duration) equal to your proficiency bonus. ***Necromancy. ***At the end of your turn after casting the spell, you heal 1d4 hit points per spell level. ***Transmutation. ***Roll 1d20; on a result of 20, the spell’s casting time is reduced to a bonus action. On a 17, 18, or 19, if the spell has required concentration it does not require your concentration for a number of rounds equal to your proficiency bonus. • When you score a critical hit with an *eldritch blast*, the target of your blast suffers disadvantage on ability checks for one round per damage die. ***Note. ***Wu-Jen may choose to take one aspect from this feat as an eldritch invocation. Mistwalker *Prerequisites: Haitoku 15, exposure to the Mists of Akuma* * *After breathing fully from the otherworldly Mists of Akuma something within you changed. Now you have incredible abilities that transcend understanding, almost as though the corrupting fogs have become a part of you. You gain the following benefits. • When you use the Withdraw action any attacks made against you are at disadvantage. Until the end of your next turn, any attacks you make have disadvantage. • You may cast misty step without the need for any components. You require a long rest before you can use this feature again. • When you use the Dodge action, you gain your proficiency bonus to your armor class. Until the end of your next turn, any attacks you make have disadvantage. Nature Touched *Prerequisites: Dignity 15, exposure to the Mists of Akuma* * *Interaction with the foul Mists of Akuma has touched something deep within you, unlocking a connection with nature that empowers you with incredible talents and abilities unheard of within the civilized regions of Soburin. You gain the following benefits. • You gain resistance to poison damage. • After taking a long rest, you gain resistance to either cold or fire until the next time you finish a long rest. • Learn one druid cantrip of your choice. You can cast this cantrip without the need for components of any kind and use Dignity as your spellcasting attribute. Scribe Magical Tattoos *Prerequisites: Mage Arcane Tradition or ability to cast Bard spells* * *Utilizing specially prepared inks and carefully crafted styluses, you are able to craft wondrous tattooes imbued with magic. You gain the following benefits. • By spending one hour per spell level, you may draw a tattoo on a creature that grants them a single casting of a spell that you know (this requires you to expend a spell slot of the spell’s level). The casting time for the spell does not change, but the creature does not require any components to cast the spell. A creature cannot hold more spell levels in magical tattoos than half its level or CR (minimum 1). It costs 25 gold per spell level to scribe a magical tattoo. Shameless Combatant *Prerequisites: Haitoku 13* * *Your words and mannerisms bite deeply, driving an enemy that you insult to attack the target of vitriol that you desire. You gain the following benefits. • You may insult and dishonor one opponent who can hear you as a bonus action, forcing them to make a Dignity save versus a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Haitoku modifier. If the target fails, they must approach you or one of your allies on their next turn and attack to the best of their abilities. After using this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, you must finish a short or long rest before you can provoke again. Swordmaster *Prerequisites: Strength 12, Dexterity 12, Intelligence 12, Wisdom 12* * *You live and die by your talents with a blade— and you often live well. You gain the following benefits. • When you are wielding a katana and score a critical hit that kills your opponent, you may make another attack against a target within your reach as part of the same action. • When an enemy would provoke an opportunity attack, you may spend your reaction to move up to your speed, ending your movement adjacent to that enemy (or as close as possible). • While wielding a katana, you can use your reaction to cut a missile in twain when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by the damage roll of your katana melee attack. • You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you are either wielding a katana in both hands, or in one hand with your off-hand free. Tsukumogami Augmetic *Prerequisites: You must possess an augmetic that replaces one of your limbs.* * *Though you didn't initially know it, your augmetic is quite old—100 years old, to be precise—and it awakens as a tsukumogami! You gain the following benefits. • Your augmetic counts as a magical weapon and gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage. • Your augmetic becomes a sentient item built by the GM. It may have abilities similar to other sentient items (page 155), those granted to a vested gun (page 171), or the enchantment effects of an ancestral weapon (page 221). No matter the source of its abilities, your tsukumogami augmetic has no more abilities than your proficiency bonus. • Your augmetic’s alignment is determined by the GM (though it should be informed by how the augmetic’s previous user maintained and treated it). Unbridled AvariCe *Prerequisites: Haitoku 17* * *Your endless desire for more power has unlocked a darkness within you, but that gloaming beckons magic and allows you to utilize more enchanted items than normal. You gain the following benefits. • You may have four attuned items instead of three. • Whenever it is possible for you to do so— while divvying up treasure, playing games of chance, sharing potions, or drinking in a teahouse—you cheat others (this includes your allies). Martial Arts Stances Martial arts have long since been a factor of life in Soburin, and over millennia countless distinct styles have evolved. These schools are represented below through stances: particular ways of thinking or moving. • A creature gains the benefits of their stance feats if they are using unarmed strikes, shortswords, or simple weapons that don’t have the two-handed or heavy weapon properties. • An unarmored creature increases its AC by an amount equal to the number of stance feats it knows. • A character cannot take more stance feats than their proficiency modifier. Stance of Fire’s Vengeance *Prerequisites: Haitoku 13, Intelligence 14* * *Your strikes are made deadlier by your fury, scorching your enemies with the flames of your inner fire. You gain the following benefits. • Your strikes deal an additional 1d4 fire damage. This damage is not multiplied on a critical hit. • You gain resistance to fire damage. You can select this feat a second time. If you do: • Your additional fire damage increases to 1d6. • As an action, you can erupt with the fury of your inner fire, doing 2d8 points of fire damage per point of proficiency bonus to all creatures and objects within 15 feet. A Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier) reduces this damage by half. You can use this feature again once you have completed a long rest. You can select this feat a third time. If you do: • Your additional fire damage increases to 1d8, and this damage is multiplied on a critical hit. • You gain immunity to fire damage.

Stance of the Clear Mind *Prerequisites: Intelligence 14, Wisdom 14* * *You have come to understand that true combat is as much mental effort as physical trial.

This damage is not multiplied on a critical hit. • You gain telepathy to a range of 30 feet (if you already have telepathy, its range increases by 30 feet). You can select this feat a second time.
