Barbarian: Path of the
Fiend Touched
Gifts From Below
Barbarians of this path were in some way touched by a great
power of the lower planes, which has left a permanent mark
on them. This power may originate from a connection to a
being, location, or some other fiendish force. Their rage is
made of stronger stuff than others— they channel this
infernal power into their resilience, gaining additional
benefits based on the source of this power.
Fiendish Origin
3rd-level Path of the Fiend Touched Feature
The manifestation of your connection to the lower planes is
dependent on your power’s plane of origin. You gain access to
one path of abilities depending on the nature of your Fiendish
Origins. Choose one, either Devilish or Demonic. When you
gain additional features from this subclass, they must be from
your initially chosen path.
When you gain access to an ability from this subclass that
offers the option, you gain the ability associated with your
previously chosen Origin.
Devilish. You gain the ability to read, speak, and write
Infernal.
Demonic. You gain the ability to read, speak, and write
Abyssal.
Additionally, this extraplanar influence becomes apparent
in a physical manifestation when you enter a rage. You can
choose this manifestation or roll on the table below.
Fiendish Manifestation
d6 Origin
1 Flames lick at your skin and you radiate uncomfortable
heat to those standing close to you.
2 You speak only in rhyme, and your voice seems to
emanate as if from very far away.
3 You stink of sulfur and brimstone. Black smoke
emanates from your open mouth.
4 You sprout horns and grow tusks, your body swelling
into an apeish form.
5 The weapons you are holding become twisted and
appear to be made of black iron.
6 It is impossible to stare into your eyes for too long, as
they smolder and reflect a creature’s nightmares back
at them.
On Changing your Fiendish Origin
Your Fiendish Origin is dictated by circumstances
unique to your character, and changing it requires
an in-story justification that you should coordinate
with your DM. If you choose to take this route,
then you may change your Origin whenever you
gain a level in this class.
SET'S JOURNAL OF FAERUN VOL. 1

Infernal Rage
3rd-level Path of the Fiend Touched Feature
You gain a boon to your rage based off of your chosen
fiendish origin.
Devilish. When you enter a rage, you choose one creature
that you can see, and make a binding pact- this is your sworn
foe, and your commitment to their destruction grants you
several boons.
Any weapon attack you make against this creature is a
critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on a D20.
When you reduce this creature to 0 hit points, you gain
temporary hit points equal to half your levels in this class
+ your Constitution modifier.
Demonic. When you enter a rage, the chaos you channel is
infectious to others. Choose a number of creatures within 30
feet of you, up to your proficiency bonus- they must succeed
on a Charisma saving throw or suffer a 1d4 penalty to all of
their attack rolls and saving throws for the duration of your
rage. The DC for the saving throw is equal to 8 + your
proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.
Wicked Soul
6th-level Path of the Fiend Touched Feature
As your connection to your fiendish source of power grows, it
begins to permeate your soul more deeply both in and out of
rage. You gain resistance to fire damage while raging, as well
as an additional effect based on the nature of your fiendish
origin.
Devilish. Your connection to the Nine Hells bolsters your
abilities to compel others with your words, and understand
what motivates people to better exploit their weaknesses. You
gain proficiency in Persuasion checks, or expertise if you
already have proficiency in this skill.
Demonic. Your connection to the Abyss taints your words
and makes your chaotic nature frightening to others. You gain
proficiency in Intimidation checks, or expertise if you already
have proficiency in this skill.
Burden of Dark Knowledge
10th-level Path of the Fiend Touched Feature
You gain the ability to cast the spell Contact Other Plane, but
only as a ritual. When cast, a powerful being of the lower
planes, dictated by your Fiendish Origin, appears to you to
convey the information you seek. Due to your fiendish
resilience and connection to the lower planes, you roll the
Intelligence saving throw required for this spell to succeed
with advantage. Once you successfully use this feature, you
cannot use it again until you finish 1d4 long rests.

Nerve Pinch Hermit

6th-level Way of the Ki Blocker feature
Knowing not just where, but how to strike at a foe's weak
points is the key to debilitating them. When you land a critical
hit with an unarmed strike, you deal extra damage equal to
your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). That creature has
disadvantage on its next saving throw against your stunning
strike feature this turn.
Touch of Death
11th-level Way of the Ki Blocker feature
Your mastery over the mortal body and its weaknesses grants
you access to a new technique; placing a creature in a death
trance. As an action, you can spend 4 ki points to attempt to
incapacitate a creature. Make an unarmed strike against a
creature. If it hits, that creature takes damage as normal and
must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your
monk DC or fall unconscious. A creature may choose to fail
this saving throw. The creature remains unconscious for 1
hour or until it takes any damage, during which time they
appear dead to any non-magical means of investigation. You
can end this effect as a bonus action on your turn if you are
within 5 feet of the creature.
Paladin: Oath of
Liberation
Freedom from Bonds
The Oath of Liberation is the promise to live an eternal
crusade against bonds and oppression. Paladins who take
this oath know that there is no greater cause than the
elimination of shackles and the empowerment of the masses.
Wherever a corrupt leader dines well while his people starve;
wherever a powerful Djinn enslaves mortal beings he
perceives beneath him; wherever victims of a war find
themselves in shackles under the control of their conquerors
— a paladin of liberation knows what they must do.
Often, these paladins belong to secret orders who travel
the world in their never ending crusade. Though mostly
wanderers, there are many who settle in one place to keep an
eye on leaders and be a voice to the people. Some invited by
the powers that be, others taking it upon themselves to root
out corruption. But most prize their freedom too greatly to be
tied down for too long, and remaining outside systems, that
they may better observe without bias.
