dealt damage
Range: Self
Components: S, V, M (a hollow marble bead)
Duration: Instantaneous
You entomb yourself in ice, which melts away at the end of
your next turn. You gain 50 temporary hit points, which take
as much of the triggering damage as possible. Immediately
after you take the damage, you gain vulnerability to fire
damage, your speed is reduced to 0, and you are
incapacitated. These effects, including any temporary hit
points, all end when the ice melts. At Higher Levels: When
you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the

spell on it again or use the Command Undead (Wizard)
feature on it (if you posses it). If the target fails, it becomes
friendly to you and obeys your commands for 24 hours, after
which point it reverts to its original behavior. If the target has
an Intelligence of 8 or higher, it has advantage on the saving
throw.
If it fails the saving throw and has an Intelligence of 12 or
higher, it can repeat the saving throw every hour, ending the
effect on itself on a success. At Higher Levels: When you

100 GP)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
The light of sunset fills a location you specify within range.
Until the spell ends, a 30-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder
becomes dim light. When the cylinder appears, each creature
in it must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 4d10
necrotic on a failed save, or half as much damage on a
successful one. A creature must also make this saving throw
whenever it ends its turn in the cylinder. If you’re within 60
feet of the cylinder, you can move it up to 60 feet as a bonus
action on your turn. If the area of this spell overlaps with the
area of a dawn spell, both spells immediately end.

Components: S, V, M (a gemstone worth at least 5000
GP, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Drawing power from the forces of nature around you, you
create a massive living armor of plant, stone, and/or crystal
around yourself. Any ground within a 25-foot-radius of you
becomes difficult terrain when you cast the spell, as it uproots
chunks of the earth to form the avatar. Until the spell ends,
you can’t cast spells, and you gain the following benefits:
Your size becomes Huge if it is not the same size or larger
already. If the area you are in is not large enough to
accommodate the size of the avatar, or if you are not
standing on solid ground, you cannot cast this spell.
You gain 100 temporary hit points. If you lose all the
temporary hit points provided by this spell it ends
prematurely, as the armor it has created has been
destroyed. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend
a druid spell slot to increase the amount of temporary hit
points from this spell by an amount equal to five times the
spell slot's level.
Your AC becomes 17.
Your Strength score becomes 28.
You have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving
throws.
 You have disadvantage on all saving throws and ability
checks relying on Dexterity.
You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing
damage made by non-adamantium weapons.
You ignore all difficult terrain.
Your unarmed attacks have a reach of 15 feet, are
considered to be magical, deal an additional 3d12
bludgeoning damage, deal double damage to objects and
structures, and force the target to make a Strength saving
throw against your spell DC or be knocked prone.
When the spell ends, any space occupied by the avatar as
well as the area within a 25-foot-radius of it becomes difficult
terrain, as debris from the destroyed avatar crumbles to the
ground.

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: S, V

weapon.
Hands of the Damned
5th-level necromancy (Cleric, Paladin, Warlock, Wizard)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: S, V, M (a pinch of bone dust from the
remains of a creature of evil alignment)

and claw at any creature within reach. When the area

throw, taking 3d6 slashing damage on a failed save, or half as
much damage on a successful one. A creature must also
make this saving throw whenever it ends its turn in the area.
The area also counts as difficult terrain. If you're within 60
feet of the area, you can move it up to 60 feet as a bonus
action on your turn.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above 3rd.

2nd-level evocation (Druid)
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Components: S, V, M (a mint leaf)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes.

You afflict the target with a biting frost that freezes both
mind and body. The target must make a Constitution saving
throw. A creature takes 5d8 cold damage on a failed saving
throw, or half as much on a successful one. Creatures with
cold resistance make this save with advantage, and creatures
with cold immunity are unaffected by this spell.
Any creature that fails its saving throw has its movement
speed halved, cannot take reactions, and has disadvantage on
any attack, saving throw, or ability check that relies on
Intelligence or Wisdom, as magical frost saps the energy
from its body. These effects persist for up to 1 minute; the
target may repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its
turns, ending the effects early on a success.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for

necrotic damage and having its hit point maximum reduced
by the same amount on a failure. The target quickly
decomposes into mulch if reduced to 0 hit points while under
the effects of this spell. On a sucessful save the spell ends,

the target finishes a long rest. If the target it is Undead it has
disadvantage on any saves it makes against this spell.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d4 for
each slot level above 5th.

Primal Paths
Accursed Warrior
You have somehow come into possession of a weapon tainted
by a dark power. Perhaps it was a forgotten family heirloom
used for some nefarious deed, a weapon forged by an evil
wizard to further their megalmomaniacal agenda, or a relic
recovered from a cursed temple or haunted battlefield.
No matter its origins, your weapon has what can only be
described as a mind of its own, a mind that has attached itself
to you whether you wish it or not. Its malign will compels you
to wreak death and destruction to satiate its endless hunger,
making little distinction between friend and foe in the midst
of combat.
Accursed Weapon
3rd-level Accursed Warrior feature
You have formed a bond with an accursed weapon (work
with your DM to determine the exact circumstances of how
you came to possess it), which has the following properties:
You can't be disarmed of the weapon while raging. If it is
on the same plane of existence, you can summon that
weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to
teleport instantly to your hand.
Whenever you complete a long rest without the weapon it
magically reappears in your possession.
The weapon counts as magical for the purpose of
overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical
attacks and damage.
You can't attune or remain attuned to any other weapons
while the weapon is in your possession.
The weapon is sentient (the DM sets the weapon's
Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma scores or determines
them randomly) and communicates with you by
transmitting emotions and/or speaking to you
telepathically.
Violent Impetus
3rd-level Accursed Warrior feature
Your weapon fills you with bloodlust, its influence over your
mind overpowering most everything else. You have resistance
to saving throws made against being charmed or frightened,
and attacks you make with your accursed weapon score a
critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. You must be raging and
wielding your accursed weapon to gain these benefits.
Killing Pace
6th-level Accursed Warrior feature
Your blade's thirst for violence empowers you to move
swiftly between your foes. Once per turn when you reduce a
creature to 0 hit points with your accursed weapon, you can
move up to half your speed as a free action. Additionally,
moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no
extra movement while you are raging and wielding your
accursed weapon.
Parasitic Weapon
10th-level Accursed Warrior feature
Your accursed weapon gains the ability to claim the power
of other magical weapons for its own. You can perform a
ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a
short rest, by placing your accursed weapon within 5 feet of
another magical weapon. At the end of the duration your
accursed weapon gains any magical properties possesed by
the other weapon, which then crumbles to dust. You may not
target an artifact with this feature.
If you perform this ritual again using a different weapon,
the accursed weapon loses all previous benefits granted from
this feature.
Sinister Possession
14th-level Accursed Warrior feature
You may give yourself up entirely to your weapon's wanton
desires in combat, unleashing the fullest extent of its power
but losing all semblance of self-control. While wielding your
accursed weapon you can become possessed by your
accursed weapon when you enter a rage. If you do so, for the
duration of the rage attacks you make with your accursed
weapon score a critical hit on a roll of 18-20, you gain
temporary hit points equal to half your Barbarian level
(rounded down) whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit
points, and you have resistance to psychic damage and
immunity to being charmed or frightened. If you are charmed
or frightened when you enter your rage, the effect is
suspended for the duration of the rage.
While possesed you must also use your action each round
to Attack the creature nearest to you with your accursed
weapon with your reckless attack feature. If you can make
extra attacks as part of the Attack action you use those extra
attacks, moving to Attack the next nearest creature after you
fell your current target. If the creature nearest to you is not
hostile to you, you may attempt a Wisdom saving throw to
ignore this requirement until the start of your next turn. You
also must attempt a Wisdom saving throw if you use your
bonus action to end the rage early, continuing the rage on a
failure.
The DC for any saves made against this feature is equal to
your Barbarian level.
Demonblood
You can tap into the magic of the Abyss to empower yourself
in the heat of battle, gaining some of the terrifying abilities of
its demonic inhabitants. You might possess these abilities
due to some form of demonic heritage, or have struck a deal
with a powerful demon in order to become stronger.
Regardless of how you first began to walk the path of the
demon rager it is one of death and isolation, chosen only by
the most depraved or desperate of individuals. For
associating with the dark powers of the Abyss comes with the
very literal risk of losing your soul to its insatiable hunger.
PART 2 | AAoA
5
 Blessing of the Abyss
3rd-level Demonblood feature
Your connection to the Abyss grants you new powers. You
gain the ability to speak, read, and write Abyssal. Whenever
you make a Charisma check when interacting with a demon,
your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to this check.
In addition, you gain an unnatural hunger for raw meat. As
an action on your turn, you may drop prone and consume the
flesh of a dead creature to regain hit points equal to your
Constitution modifier + the total number of hit dice
possessed by the creature, as well as removing a level of
exhaustion from yourself if you possess any. Doing so counts
as an attack for the purposes of continuing a rage.
You may use this feature equal to your Constitution
modifier (minimum 1), regaining all uses when you complete
a long rest.
Demonic Aspect
6th-level Demonblood feature
While raging your appearance takes on a demonic aspect
such as rotting flesh, curling horns, or cloven hooves. You
have darkvision out to 60 feet. If you already have darkvision,
its distance increases by 30 feet. You also have resistance to
poison damage, and advantage on Constitution saving throws
made against poison. You must be raging to benefit from this
feature.
Blasphemous Bellow
10th-level Demonblood feature
You can unleash a bloodcurdling war cry that chills the
blood of even the staunchest foe. As an action on your turn,
you can force any hostile creature that can hear to make a
Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency
bonus + your total Intimidation skill modifier) or be
frightened of you for 1 minute. Creatures that are further
than 30 feet away from you make the save with advantage.
This counts as an attack for the purposes of continuing your
rage.
A frightened creature may repeat the saving throw at the
end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a
success. A creature that succeeds on its save against this
feature is immune to its effect for the next 24 hours. You can
use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution
modifier (minimum 1), regaining all expended uses when you
finish a long rest.
Improved Demonic Aspect
14th-level Demonblood feature
Your appearance while raging becomes even more
demonic, with leathery wings sprouting from your back and
hideous mutations wracking your body. While raging, you
have a flying speed equal to your current speed.
If you have consumed the flesh of another creature within
the last minute with your blessing of the abyss feature, you
also have advantage on saving throws made against spells
and other magical effects while raging, as well as resistance
to cold, fire, and lightning damage.
PART 2 | AAoA

Draconic Rampager
The awe-inspiring might of dragonkind thunders within your
soul, granting you heightened strength and endurance. You
might have an ancestor who was themselves a dragon, have
recieved a dragon's blessing after currying its favor, or be a
long-dead dragon reincarnated into mortal form. Whether
you fight out of good or evil, selflessness or greed, there are
few who can stand up to your might when you allow your
draconic side to manifest.
Dragontouched
3rd-level Draconic Rampager feature
Your connection to dragonkind grants you new powers. You
gain the ability to speak, read, and write Draconic. Whenever
you make a Charisma check when interacting with a dragon,
your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to this check.
In addition, whenever you enter a rage choose Acid, Cold,
Fire, Lightning, or Poison: for the duration of the rage you
have resistance to damage of that type, and your melee
weapon attacks deal an extra 1d4 damage of the that type.
Dragonbreath
6th-level Dragonic Rampager feature
When you take the Attack action on your turn while raging,
you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of
draconic energy in either a 20-foot-cone or a 30-foot-line that
is 5 feet wide (your choice). Each creature in the area must
make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution
modfier + your proficiency bonus), taking 2d10 damage of the
type chosen with your dragontouched feature on a failed save,
or half as much damage on a successful one. This damage
increases by 1d10 when you reach 11th level in this class
(3d10), and 17th level in this class (4d10). Doing so counts as
an attack for the purposes of continuing your rage
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Constitution modifier (minimum 1), regaining all expended
uses when you finish a long rest.
Draconic Resilience
10th-level Draconic Rampager feature
You can manifest the toughness of dragons in battle. While
raging, you can use your bonus action to gain advantage on
the next saving throw you make before the start of your next
turn. Alternatively, you can spend one Hit Die to heal yourself:
roll the die, add your Constitution modifier, and regain a
number of hit points equal to the total (minimum 1).
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Constitution modifier (minimum 1), regaining all expended
uses when you finish a long rest.
Draconic Aspect
14th-level Draconic Rampager feature
You take on a draconic countenance while raging, with
leathery lings sprouting from your back and tough scales
covering parts of your body. While raging you have a flying
speed equal to your current speed, your unarmored defense
AC is equal to 13 + your Dexterity modifier + your
Constitution modifier, and you have blindsight out to 10 feet
and darkvision out to 60 feet. If you already have darkvision,
its distance increases by 30 feet.
You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless
the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not
made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when
you manifest them.

 Bard Colleges
College of Adamantium
When it comes to making music appropriate for going toe-to-
toe with a horde of demons or an age-old eldritch horror, one
must immediately turn to the College of Adamantium. Bards
of this college practice an art of intensity and violence,
evoking within its listeners the irresistable urge to rip and
tear, until it is done. Though known by many different names
throughout bardic history, in recent years this genre of music
has come to be referred to simply as... "metal."
Bonus Proficiencies
3rd-level College of Adamantium feature
You gain proficiency with medium armor, heavy armor, and
martial weapons.
Power Chord
3rd-level College of Adamantium feature
The ferocity of your performance is second to none. You
learn the thunderwave spell if you don't already know it.
Additionally, whenever you cast the spell with a Bard spell
slot you may gain temporary hit points equal to 1d6 + your
Charisma modifier. This die increases the same as your
Bardic Inspiration die at higher levels in this class.
Disruptive Influence
6th-level College of Adamantium feature
Your can inspire an unstoppable battle-lust within yourself
and your allies. Whenever a creature with one of your bardic
inspiration dice takes the Attack action on its turn, it can
decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives it advantage on
attack rolls during this turn, but attack rolls against it have
advantage until its next turn.
Metalhead
14th-level College of Adamantium feature
The more dangerous the situation, the better your
performance. While concentrating on a Bard spell or
benefitting from your Countercharm feature, you have
resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage
from nonmagical weapons, and when hit by an attack you can
make a single melee attack against your attacker as a
reaction.
PART 2 | AAoA

College of Elation
Often found amongst clergy and religious followings, bards of
the College of Elation extoll the virtue of the gods through
their art. While all bards are master musicians, the
performances of this college are considered uniquely
beautiful and inspiring through their divine connection, lifting
the spirits of the downtrodden and driving away any evils that
would seek to do them harm.
Divine Inspiration
3rd-level College of Elation feature
Your music fills listeners with the healing presence of the
divine. Whenever a creature rolls one of your Bardic
Inspiration die it regains hit points equal to the roll + your
Charisma modifier.
Music of the Gods
3rd-level College of Elation feature
When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a
bard cantrip or bard spell of 1st level or higher, you can
choose the spell from the cleric spell list or the bard spell list.
You must otherwise obey all restrictions for selecting the
spell, and it becomes a bard spell for you.
Elated Flight
6th-level College of Elation feature
As a free action whenever you cast a bard spell, you can
cause wings of light to manifest upon yourself or another
creature within 30 feet of you until the start of your next turn.
While these wings are manifested the creature has a flying
speed of 60 feet and has advantage on all saving throws
made against the spells or effects of fiends and undead.
Additionally, fiends and undead have disadvantage on attack
rolls against the creature. If the creature is still in the air
when this effect ends, it may use its reaction to reduce any

bard level.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum 1), regaining all expended uses
when you finish a long rest.
Angelic Chorus

the ails of the just and searing the ears of the unholy.

choose a number of creatures up to your Charisma modifier
that are within 30 feet of you to gain the benefit of a lesser
restoration spell. In addition, any fiends or undead within 30
feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw or take
2d8 + your Charisma modifier radiant damage and be
deafened until the start of your next turn.
College of Jest
Also known as jesters, fools, or harlequins, bards of the
College of Jest are loved (and hated) throughout the land for
their endless japes and buffoonery. Such bards can easily get
under the skin of even the most levelheaded individuals,
delivering cutting insults and feats of ridiculous spectacle
with comical ease. Even death, a terrifying terminus to most,
seems to such bards little more than a hilarious punchline.
Center of Attention
3rd-level College of Jest feature
You can annoy and distract your foes with your ridiculous
antics, granting an opportunity for your allies to strike. As an
action, you can expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration to
choose a number of creatures within 30 feet of you that can
see and hear you, up to a number equal to your Charisma
modifier (minimum of one). Each target must succeed on a
Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be
affected by this feature until the start of your next turn.
While affected by this feature a creature has advantage on
attack rolls made against you but has disadvantage on all
other rolls. Additionally, all attacks made against the creature
have advantage. If the creature takes damage, this effect
ends.
Merciless Heckler
3rd-level College of Jest feature
No one, from the lowliest peasant to the mightiest ruler,
can escape the stinging lash of your tongue. You learn the
vicious mockery cantrip if you don't already know it.
Additionally, you may cast it as a bonus action a number of
times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1),
regaining the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Professional Tumbler
6th-level College of Jest feature
You have mastered a number of acrobatic tricks that come
in handy during combat. When you are subjected to an effect
that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only
half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on
the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. You may
also add your proficiency bonus to your AC while moving.
Joke's On Them
14th-level College of Jest feature
Even in the bleakest of situations you always somehow
manage to have the last laugh. You have advantage on death
saving throws. Additionally, when reduced to 0 hit points you
can cast a single bard spell as a free action. If it is a spell
attack it automatically hits and scores as a critical hit, and if
requires a saving throw any creature it affects automatically
fails its first save made against the spell.
Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you
finish a long rest.

 Divine Domains
Ice Domain
Gods of cold and winter such as Demeter, Khione, or Thrym
claim dominion over the bitter cold and darkness of winter.
Gods of this domain are often capricious, their worship more
often out of fear than of reverence. But though many of these
gods are evil there are some who embody the gentler aspects
of winter, such as the beauty gazing upon a newly fallen snow,
or loved ones coming together to celebrate the ending of the
year and the beginning of another.

of freezing wind. As an action, you present your holy symbol,
forcing each hostile creature within 30 feet of you to make a
Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 2d10 + your
Cleric level cold damage on a failed saving throw, and half as
much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails its
saving throw also has its speed reduced by 10 feet until the
start of your next turn. A creature that has total cover from
you is not affected. Any nonmagical flames within its area of
effect are extinguished, and any water or creature killed by

the bright light have advantage on saving throws against
spells and other magical effects. Any hostile creature that
starts its turn in the bright light must succeeed on a
Constitution saving throw against your cleric spell DC or take
cold damage equal to half your Cleric level (rounded down).
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Madness Domain
While many gods promote peace and watch over the well-
being of mortals, there are some who equally drive them
towards chaos and madness, be it for malevolent reasons or
simply to entertain themselves. Gods such as Set, Dionysus,
and Eris embody discord and the madness that lurks deep in
the heart of every person, their followers capable of
channeling divine magic to fuel those tiny sparks of insanity
into an all-consuming fire.

effects of a confusion spell until the end of your next turn. A
creature that has total cover from you is not affected.
Touch of Madness

You gain the ability to incite temporary insanity in both
yourself and in others, sacrificing certain abilities to hone
others. As an action, you cause a creature that you touch to

damage would be enough to reduce the creature to 0 hit
points or fewer, it automatically fails the saving throw instead.
Travel Domain
For some Clerics, faith comes from nothing more than the
shoes on their feet and the road ahead of them. Gods of travel
or adventure such as Garl Glittergold, Kol Korran, and
Hermes claim many followers who seek to travel the world
and experience it in all its wild glory. While many Clerics take
up the adventurering life those of the Travel Domain are
more inclined to it than most, consisting of devout followers,
daring explorers, and any whose true home is the open road.

any critical hit against you counts as a normal hit instead.
Circle of Ruin
Druids of the Circle of Ruin embody the wrath of nature in its
purest form, unleashing destructive forces upon their
enemies with little in the way of subtlety or remorse. They
embody all the darker aspects of nature, such as wildfires,
tempests, sickness, and rot, calling upon all the anger of the
earth against those who would do it harm. While not all of
these druids are evil, their wrath should still be avoided at all

 Martial Archetypes
Beastmaster
If a Fighter is only as good as their training, then so too is a
trained animal only as good as theirs. Unlike Rangers or
Druids who forge mystical connections with their animal
companions, the bonds Beastmasters forge with their
companions are no more supernatural than trust and
training. Even if they are uncannily good at getting animals to
behave.
Beastmaster's Companion
3rd-level Beast Master feature
When you choose this archetype at third level, you gain
proficiency in the Animal Handling skill. You also gain an
animal companion, which may be any beast no larger than
Medium that has a CR of 1/4 or lower. It gains the following
benefits:
Add your proficiency bonus to the beast’s AC, attack rolls,
and damage rolls, as well as to any saving throws and skills it
is proficient in.
In combat, the beast acts during your turn. It can move and
use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the
Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to
command it to take another action. That action can be one in
its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one
of your own attacks when you take the Attack action to
command the beast to take the Attack action. If you are
incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not
just Dodge.
The beast’s hit point maximum is equal to 5 + five times
your fighter level (with a number of hit dice [d8s] equal to
your fighter level), or 4 + four your fighter level (with a
number of hit dice equal [d6s] to your fighter level) if it is of a
size smaller than Medium.
Unlike the animal companions of Rangers, your bond with
your animal companion is not magical nor tied to any ritual: if
it is slain, you must find other means to raise it back to life
(such as a Resurrection or Revivify spell) or train a new
companion, a process that takes 24 hours in total with a
beast that isn’t hostile to you and meets the requirements. If
the beast has already been trained to an extent (such as a
guard dog, for example), this process takes only 8 hours in
total, as it already possesses the foundational skills that your
training helps it to perfect.
Companion Fighting Style
3rd-level Beast Master feature
You have learned to train your animal companion to adopt
a particular style of combat, granting it a Fighting Style of its
own that you choose from one of the following options:
Harrying: Your animal companion cuts off your foes'
retreat: creatures hit by your animal companion’s opportunity
attacks have their speed reduced to 0 for the rest of the turn.
Savagery: Your animal companion attacks viciously: your
animal companion scores critical hits on a roll of 19 or 20.
Vigilance: Your animal companion alerts you to danger: you
and your animal companion cannot be surprised.
PART 2 | AAoA
16
Coordinated Assault
7th-level Beast Master feature
You and your animal companion coordinate your decisive
movements. When you use your Second Wind feature, your
animal companion regains hit points equal to the amount of
health you regain.
Additionally, whenever you use your Action Surge feature
you may command you animal companion to make an attack
as part of the action or bonus action you take. To benefit from
this feature your animal companion must be within 30 feet of
you, be able to see or hear you, and be conscious.
Improved Fighting Style
10th-level Beast Master feature
You have trained your animal companion to be far more
dangerous than any ordinary beast, granting it an additional
ability based on its chosen Fighting Style:
Harrying: Creatures provoke opportunity attacks from your
companion even if they take the Disengage action before
leaving its reach. Additionally, you may use your reaction to
command your animal companion to move 5 feet without
provking opportunity attacks.
Savagery: Once per turn when your animal companion
rolls damage for an attack, you may reroll the attack’s
damage and use either total.
Vigilance: Your animal companion grants you a +5 bonus to
your initiative rolls.
Master Handler
15th-level Beast Master feature
Your experience in taming and training animals is almost
unparalleled. You may choose a creature of CR 1 or lower to
be your animal companion. Additionally, if your animal
companion is of CR 1/4 or lower it gains Evasion (if it is
subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity
saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no
damage on a success and only half on a failure).
Unbreakable Bond
18th-level Beast Master feature
Together, you and your companion are a nigh unstoppable.
As long as you and your animal companion are within 30 feet
of each other you both have advantage on death saving
throws, advantage on Wisdom saving throws made against
being frightened or charmed, and gain 10 temporary hit
points at the start of your turn. You must both be able to see
and hear one another and be conscious to benefit from this
feature.
Executioner
Few professionans can evoke the same mix of fear and
respect that exectioners do, their presence in the public eye
synonymous with nothing less than death itself. As a
practitioner of this brutal art you put your talent for
termination to good use in combat, especially against foes
who are already have one foot in the grave, whom you can
sense with supernatural keenness.
Reaper's Sight
3rd-level Executioner Feature
You can asses if a creature you can see within 30 feet of
you is at or below half its hit point maximum as a free action.
Additionally, weapon attacks you make against creatures at or
below half their hit point maximum score a critical hit on a
roll of 19-20 and ignore damage resistances (but not
immunities).
Make An Example
3rd-level Executioner Feature
As a bonus action when you reduce a creature to 0 hit
points with a weapon attack, you can brandish your weapon
menacingly and strike fear into the hearts of your remaining
foes. Any hostile creatures within 30 feet of you that can see
you must make a Wisdom saving throw, the DC of which
equals 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Strength or
Dexterity modifier (your choice). If it fails, the creature is
frightened of you until the end of its next turn. A creature that
succeeds its save against this feature is immune to its effect
for the next 24 hours.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Strength or Dexterity modifier (minimum 1), regaining all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Mortalize
7th-level Executioner Feature
Though you prefer to settle things with a single strike, you
know how to chisel down tougher marks with consecutive
blows. Whenever you score a critical hit with a weapon the
target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to
the damage dealt until it finishes a long rest. In addition, the
target cannot regain hit points or gain temporary hit points
until the start of your next turn.
Deathly Disposition
10th-level Executioner Feature
After being surrounded by death for so long, you have little
fear of the grave. You have resistance to necrotic damage and
advantage on death saving throws. Additionally, your hit point
maximum cannot be reduced.
Improved Reaper's Sight
15th-level Executioner Feature
You can see creatures at or below half their hit point
maximum within 30 feet of you as though you had truesight.
Additionally, weapon attacks you make against creatures at or
below half their hit point maximum score a critical hit on a
roll of 18-20.
Coup de Gras
18th-level Executioner Feature
Your critical strikes leave little potential for survival.
Whenenever you score a critical hit with a melee weapon
attack the target must make a Constitution saving throw, the
DC of which equals 8 + your proficiency modifier + your
Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice). If it fails, you
can roll one of the weapon's damage dice two additional
times and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.
Gladiator
As a Gladiator you live for spectacle, carrying yourself with a
showman's confidence and taking down your opponents with
herculean feats of strength and skill. Though some might call
you overconfident, you simply know your abilities and make
no attempts to sell yourself short: whether you're darling of
the masses known far and wide or an unknown talent
seeking to make a name for yourself, you know how to put on
a show for whomever might be watching.
Crowd Favorite
3rd-level Gladiator feature
You perform best before an audience. A friendly creature
within 30 feet of you that you can hear or see can use its
action to cheer you on, granting you advantage on the next
attack roll, ability check, or saving throw you make before the
end of your next turn.
Practice Makes Perfect
3rd-level Gladiator feature
You have mastered skills that lend themselves well to the
arena. You gain proficiency in the Athletics and Intimidation
skills. Additionally, you can choose a second option from the
Fighting Style class feature.
Single Combat
7th-level Gladiator feature
You project a larger-than-life presence in battle. As a bonus
action, you can get the attention of a hostile creature within
30 feet of you that can see or hear you. That creature must
make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your Charisma
modifier + your proficiency bonus), which it can choose to fail.
If it fails, that creature has disadvantage on attack rolls
against creatures other than you, and you have disadvantage
on attack rolls against creatures other than it. This effect
ends after 1 minute, or when one of you is incapacitated.
Creatures with an Intelligence score of 1 are immune to this
feature.
PART 2 | AAoA

 Bravado
10th-Level Gladiator feature

physically and mentally. You gain a bonus to Wisdom saving

Monastic Traditions
Way of Blossoms
You follow a tradition that draws its inspiration from nature,
one that values the existence of all living things whether large
or small. While your teachings urge you to avoid conflict or
violence you are more than capable of defending yourself,
using your powers to heal your allies and evade your enemies
in equal measure. Many elves follow this monastic tradition
in emulation of their ancestors, though its practice is by no
means exclusive to them.
Green Thumb
3rd-level Way Blossoms feature
You can use your ki to duplicate the effects of certain spells
as you tap into the life energy of the natural world. You gain
the druidcraft cantrip if you don't already know it.

additional ki points to increase the level of a spell you cast
with this feature. The spell's level increases by 1 for each
additional ki point you spend. The maximum number of ki
points you can spend to cast a spell in this way (including its
base ki point cost and any additional ki points you spend to
increase its level) is determined by your monk level, as shown

Blossoming Defense
6th-level Way of Blossoms feature
You can vanish in a swirl of flower petals when struck,
appearing a short distance away perfectly unharmed. As a
reaction when you are hit by an attack or fail a saving throw,
you can teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can
see. Doing also imposes disadvantage on the attacker or
grants you advantage on the saving throw, potentially
changing the result.
You may use this feature a number of times equal to your
Wisdom modifier (minimum 1), regaining all expended uses
on a long rest.
Leaf on the Wind
11th-level Way of Blossoms feature

are drawn to this monastic tradition, which many believe was
first perfected by dwarven masters long ago.
Immovable
3rd-level Way of the Stone Fist feature
You are resilient in both mind and body. While you are not
wearing armor or a shield, you may reduce any forced
movement you are subjected to by 15 feet. Additionaly, you

space you are occupying) become difficult terrain.
Way of the Third Eye
You have awakened to psionic abilities through intense
training and meditation. Combining body, mind, and spirit in

flame, hurling objects with your mind, and speaking
telepathically with other creatures are all within the realms of
your ability.
Psionic Focus
3rd-level Way of the Third Eye feature
Your psychic abilities fall into a specific area of psionic
focus. Choose one of the following psionic focuses, which

Sacred Oaths
Oath of Inquisition
Paladins who take the Oath of Inqusition are often singularly
zealous even compared to other Paladins. Rather than going
forth to smite evils in the far corners of the world, they
instead focus their efforts on rooting out threats that blend in
amongst the crowd. Whether such threats are real or believed
is ultimately of little consequence however, as paladins of this
oath rarely hesitate to dispense swift and brutal justice to
those they deem unfaithful.
Tenets of Inquisition
Paladins of this oath are ruthless and dogmatic in their
beliefs, forcing any personal connections they might have
aside as they mete out justice in the name of the greater good.
Such paladins are usually lawful neutral, though the more
extreme among them may be closer to lawful evil.
Justice Before Mercy. Compassion, while important, must
never take precedence over objectivity.
Leave No Stone Unturned. Evil often lurks in the places
where it is least expected; I must always remain vigilant.
Show No Favorites. No one- be they complete strangers
or close friends- deserves any special treatment if they are
found out to be agents of evil.
Suffer Not The Wicked. Those who dabble with dark
forces must be made an example of, lest their ways evil
spread to others.

Channel Divinity
You gain the following Channel Divinity options.
Inquisitor's Brand. As an action, you can place a magical
brand upon a humanoid you touch or hit with a melee
weapon attack as a free action. For the next 24 hours the
creature suffers disadvantage on all Dexterity (Sleight of
Hand), Dexterity (Stealth), and Charisma (Deception)
checks and does not gain any benefits from completing a
rest. You choose whether the mark is visible or invisible
when you place it upon a creature (an invisible mark is
visible to a creature casting Detect Magic or that has
truesight). If you mark another creature with this feature,
its effect ends.
Inqusitor's Presence. As an action, you can present your
holy symbol and strike fear into the hearts of the wicked.
All creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you must
make a Charisma saving throw. A creature that you are
not fighting makes this save with disdvantage. On a
failure, a creature is frightened of you for 1 minute. While
frightened in this way, a creature has disadvantage on
Charisma (Deception) checks. At the start of each of its
turns, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw.
On a success, the spell ends on the target.
Aura of Verity
7th-level Oath of Inquisition feature
Your mere presence is enough to render most forms of
deceit useless. Whenever a hostile creature enters a space
within 10 feet of you it must make a Charisma saving throw
against your paladin spell save DC. On a failed save, the
creature becomes visible (if it was hidden or invisible) and/or
reverts back to its original form (if it was shapeshifted),
cannot become invisible or shapeshift again, and has
disadvantage on all Dexterity (Stealth) checks. These
penalties last until the creature starts its turn outside the
radius of the aura. Additionally, creatures within the aura
suffer disadvantage on Charisma (Deception) checks when
attempting to lie to you.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Prison of Truth
15th-level Oath of Inquisition feature
Any creature that fails its saving throw against your zone of
truth spell cannot leave the radius of the spell's effect
(including by magical means) unless you consciously allow it
to do so. Additionally, creatures that you are not fighting
make their saves against the spell with disadvantage.
Divine Alacrity
20th-level Paladin feature
You can enter a state of heightened consciousness in which
no plot or deception slips past you. As a bonus action, you
gain the following benefits for 1 minute while you are
conscious:
You have truesight out to 120 feet.
You cannot be surprised.
You know if you hear a lie.
Attackers do not benefit from advantage when attacking
you.
You have advantage on Intelligence and Wisdom saving
throws.
Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until
you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level spell slot
to use it again.

 Oath of Penance
Paladins who take the Oath of Penance are both selfless
martyrs and merciless harbingers, inflicting what they believe
to be the harsh verdict of the gods upon both themselves and
others. While many paladins who take the Oath of Penance
are former Oathbreakers or otherwise haunted by an evil
past, some do so simply from a broader belief that mortals as
a collective are sinful and require redemption. Regardless of
their pasts, all of these paladins are united in their belief in
spiritual cleansing through physical suffering.
Tenets of Penance
Paladins of this oath are zealous and self-sacrificing in the
extreme, putting the needs of others before their own even-
often especially- if it comes at their own expense. Such
paladins vary in alignment based on their perceptions of sin
in both themselves and others, ranging from those who seek
merely to atone for their own misdeeds to others who see sin
everywhere they look.
Avoid Excess. The pursuit of material things has been the
undoing of many a mortal; I shall not succumb to temptation.
Good For Goodness' Sake. While I do as much good as I
can for others, I do not do so in the hopes of being rewarded.
Modesty Is A Virtue. I must always remain humble in my
words and deeds, for pride begets sin.
Pain Is Weakness Leaving The Body. Suffering is not
something to be avoided, but an opportunity to demonstrate
my conviction.

an amount equal to your Paladin level. Additionally, at the
start of each of its turns for the next minute an affected
creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, it takes 1d6 radiant damage. On a successful
save, the effect ends.
Aura of Absultion
7th-level Oath of Penance feature
You emit an aura of penance that allows you to redeem
your allies at your own expense. Whenever a creature within
the 10 feet of you fails a saving throw, you can use your
reaction to cause them to succeed the saving throw. If you do,
you suffer the effects of failing the saving throw instead.

You have advantage on death saving throws.
Once you use this feature you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level spell slot to
use it again.
Oath of the Pantheon
Rather than devote themselves to a single higher power or
set of tenets, paladins who take the Oath of the Pantheon
seek act as intermediaries between the mortal and divine
realms. Since gods are often mercurial in their moods and
demands however, one who seeks to honor them all walk a
fine line in balancing their devotion equally: one god may
demand peaceful prayer, another bloodstained sacrifice, and
yet another both or neither.
Tenets of the Pantheon
Paladins of this oath are more broad in their allegiances and
alliances than most. For while some pantheons are
composed entirely of good-aligned deities, others include
deities whose desires may be neutral or even evil in nature.
Rather than reject or shun such deities however, these
paladins instead seek to appease them into levelling their
wrath against their enemies rather than their allies.
Emulate The Gods. The gods are the example to which all
mortals should aspire in their lives.
Honor The Gods. Appeasing the gods is critical, both to
recieve their benevolence and to avoid their wrath.
Serve The Gods. Actions speak louder than words,
especially in the eyes of the divine.
Uphold The Gods. It is my duty to restore mortal faith in
the divine when it is found wonting, for without faith despair
is inevitable.

rolled for the result. Alternatively, when another creature
makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you
can substitute the number rolled for the result.

Boreal Strider
You are a veteran of the coldest of climates, capable of
surviving in lands that would prove inhospitable to most such

how to harnass it towards your own ends, stalking your
enemies in deadly silence before ambushing them with the
strength and fury of an avalanche.
Boreal Strider Magic
3rd-level Boreal Strider feature

turn. If the creature is surprised, triple the cold damage and
movement penalties it suffers from this feature.
Arctic Storm
15th-level Boreal Strider feature
You can summon an icy vortex that covers your allies and
impairs your enemies. As an action, you can create a 10-foot-
radius sphere of howling blizzard centered on a point within

sphere is considered to be difficult terrain and heavily
obscured. In addition, any hostile creature that starts its turn

your enemies, devastating them with a whirlwind of attacks
and slipping past their reprisals with ease.

disadvantage. A creature can only take this damage once
during a turn.
Trapper
As their name suggests, Trappers specialize in laying deadly
traps for their enemies rather than facing them head-on.
Combining the tinkering of artificers with the wiliness of
rangers, these individuals sow chaos in their enemies' ranks
with a myriad of hazards that can halt the advance of even the
most determined forces. The more experienced among their
ranks can even fine-tune their traps to only be activated by
specific creatures, making them safer to their friends and
more surprising to their foes.

of labor, and for you to expend a ranger spell slot of a level
equal to or greater than the spell which the trap is replicating
(the trap's spell is of the same level as the expended spell
slot). The spell which the trap replicates is centered on the
trap and does not require concentration to maintain. A trap
remains armed until it is triggered, or for up to 1 hour.
Alternatively, you may disarm a trap as a bonus action while

fireworks or smoke when you arm the trap).

Fire Trap (9th-level or higher): This trap erupts into flames
when triggered, functioning like a fireball spell.
Nausea Trap (9th-level or higher): This trap emits noxious
fumes when triggered, functioning like a stinking cloud
spell.
Arming and concealing a trap takes 1 minute, after which
point the trap activates when a Small or larger creature
moves into the same space as it. A trap is nearly invisible and
requires a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check
against your ranger spell save DC to be found. A space can
only have one active trap at a time.
Improved Trapcraft
7th-level Trapper feature
Once armed, your traps remain operable for up to 24

races of humanoid (such as gnolls and orcs) in place of one

Bruiser
Less afraid to get their hands dirty than most other rogues,
you know when it's best to use a soft touch and when it's best
to just to start swinging. You wear the title of "thug" like a
badge of honor, cracking locks and cracking skulls with equal

impossible speed. You have advantage on Dexterity saving
throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and
spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or
incapacitated.

against an attack made by a creature you cannot see.

Your opponents find it extremely difficult to pin you down.

Sorcerous Origins
Fey Bloodline
Your innate magic comes from the ancient forces of nature,
far older than mortal civilization and even many of the gods.
There are many possible explanations for your sorcerous
abilities; you might have been born on the cusp of a new
season, were found abandoned in a sacred grove as a baby, or
had a powerful fairy or hag for an ancestor. In any case, you
have a deep connection with the forces of nature that shape
the Multiverse and are adept at commanding them, be it for
benign or malevolent intentions.
Fey Heritage
1st-level Fey Bloodline feature
Fey blood flows in your veins, manifesting itself in your
knowledge and abilities. You can speak, read, and write

when interacting with fey creatures, your proficiency bonus is
doubled if it applies to the check. You also gain proficiency in
the Deception, Insight, or Persuasion skill (your choice).
Fey Magic
1st-level Fey Bloodline feature
When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a
sorcerer cantrip or sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you

selecting the spell, and it becomes a Sorcerer spell for you.
Sprite's Cunning
6th-level Fey Bloodline feature
You have a knack for mindgames in the midst of combat.
When you cast a sorcerer spell, you can become invisible
until the end of your next turn or until attack or cast a spell as

charmed or frightened for 1 hour.
Sylvan Summoning
14th-level Fey Bloodline feature

or plants you summon have their hit point maximum
increased by an amount equal to half your sorcerer level

rolls.
Fey Trickery
18th-level Fey Bloodline feature
Your talent for mischief is rivalled only by the oldest fey.
Creatures have disadvantage on saving throws against your
sorcerer spells if you cast them while invisible.
Additionally, when you succesfully save against a spell or
effect that would charm or fighten you, you can use your
reaction turn it against its caster. The creature that cast the
spell or effect must make a Wisdom saving throw against
your sorcerer spell DC or subjected to the spell or effect as if
you had cast it. You must maintain concentration on the spell
or effect if it requires it.
Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Fiendish Bloodline
Fiendish blood courses through your veins, perhaps the
result of a ritual that imbued you with such power, a deal
struck by you or one of your family members with a fiend, or
even from one an ancestor's physical union with one.
Whatever the case, you have been tainted by dark powers
that manifest in dreadful and often ostracizing ways.
Whether or not you use your abilities for evil lies in your
hands, though the more you tap into their strength the more
you may find yourself drawn towards darkness.
Fiendish Heritage
1st-level Fiendish Bloodline feature
Demonic blood flows in your veins, manifesting itself in
your knowledge and abilities. You can speak, read, and write
Abyssal or Infernal (your choice). Additionally, whenever you
make a Charisma check when interacting with demons (if
you chose Abyssal with this feature) or devils (if you chose
Infernal with this feature), your proficiency bonus is doubled
if it applies to the check.
In addition, whenever a hostile creature within 30 feet of
you hits an attack or succeeds a saving throw, you can use
your reaction to roll 2d4 and subtract it from the total,
possibly changing the outcome. Once you use this feature,
you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.
Fiendish Magic
1st-level Fiendish Bloodline feature
When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a
sorcerer cantrip or sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you
can choose the spell from the warlock spell list or the

PART 2 | AAoA

 Friends in Low Places
6th-level Fiendish Bloodline feature
You learn the find familiar spell if you do not already know
it and can cast it as a ritual. When you cast the spell, you can
choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of
the following special forms: imp (Infernal) or quasit (Abyssal).

familiar to take an action (the action can be one in its stat
block or some other action).
Fiendish Wings
14th-level Fiendish Bloodline feature
You gain the ability to sprout a pair of leathery wings from
your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed.
You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn.

turn.
You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless
the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not
made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when
you manifest them.
Fiendish Mastery
18th-level Fiendish Bloodline feature
You have mastered the fiendish magics of your bloodline.
You have advantage on all Charisma checks made to interact
with demons (if you chose Abyssal with this subclass) or
devils (if you chose Infernal with this subclass) that you
summon with a Sorcerer spell. In addition, any fiends you
summon have their hit point maximum increased by an
amount equal to your sorcerer level and add your proficiency
bonus to their damage rolls.
You can also spend 4 sorcery points to gain advantage on
saving throws made against spells and other magical effects
as well as resistance to cold, fire, and lightning damage, for 1
hour.
Vampiric Bloodline
You have become tainted with the curse of vampirism,
lending you some of the supernatural abilities possesed by
vampires. While you are not a "true" vampire you still share
some of their dark heritage: perhaps you were preyed upon
by a vampire and left forever altered, or perhaps one of your
ancestors was themselves a vampire.
No matter what circumstances led to your condition your
gifts are the same, and if cultivated enough might elevate you
to a fully-fledged vampire. But while the decision to use your
dark gifts for good or for evil however is ultimately in your
hands, you may find yourself increasingly swayed by their
insidious influence.
Dark Heritage
1st-level Vampiric Bloodline feature
Your vampiric curse begins to manifest itself in your
physiology, granting you inhuman abilities. You have
Darkvision out to 60 feet. If you already have Darkvision, its
distance increases by 30 feet.
PART 2 | AAoA
30
You may also use a bonus action to grant yourself
advantage on the next Dexterity (Stealth) or Wisdom
(Perception) check you make this turn. You may do so a
number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum
1), regaining all expended uses when you complete a short of
long rest.
Unholy Magic
1st-level Vampiric Bloodline feature
When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a
sorcerer cantrip or sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you
can choose the spell from any necromancy spell or the
Sorcerer spell list. You must otherwise obey all restrictions
for selecting the spell, and it becomes a sorcerer spell for you.
Shapechanger
6th-level Vampiric Bloodline feature
You gain the some of the transformative abilities of a
vampire. You can spend 1 Sorcery Point to polymorph into a
Tiny bat or a Medium cloud of mist for 10 minutes as an
action. While transformed, you may expend a Sorcery point
as a bonus action to increase the duration of your
transformation for another 10 minutes.
You may revert to your true form as a bonus action at any
time. If you are in direct sunlight or running water, you
cannot transform from or back to your original form with this
feature (except when the transformation’s duration ends) or
spend Sorcery Points to extend the duration of your
transformation.
While in bat form you have advantage on Wisdom
(Perception) checks that rely on hearing, cannot cast or
concentrate on spells, cannot speak, your walking speed is
5 feet, and you have a flying speed of 30 feet. Your
statistics, other than your size and speed, are unchanged.
Anything you are wearing transforms with you, but
nothing you are carrying does.
While in mist form you cannot take actions (besides
extending the transformation), concentrate on spells,
speak, or manipulate objects. You are weightless, have a
flying speed of 20 feet, can hover, and can enter a hostile
creature’s space and stop there. In addition, if air can pass
through a space, you can do so without squeezing, and you
can’t pass through water. You have advantage on all
Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws, and
are immune to all nonmagical damage.
Vampiric Hypnosis
14th-level Vampiric Bloodline feature
You may use your action to attempt to charm a humanoid
you can see within 30 feet of you as an action. If the target
can see you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw
against your sorcerer spell save DC or be charmed by you.
While charmed the target regards you as a trusted friend to
be heeded and protected. Although the target is not under
your control, it takes your requests or actions in the most
favorable way it can (and is a willing target for your bite
attack at higher levels, as with the Necropotheosis feature.)
At the end of each of the target’s turns and whenever you or
your companions do anything harmful to it, it can repeat the
saving throw, ending the effect on itself a success. If the
target’s saving throw is successful, it is immune to this effect
for the next 24 hours.
You may only use this feature once per long rest unless you
also expend 5 Sorcery Points or a 3rd level or higher
sorcerer spell slot.
Necropotheosis
18th-level Vampiric Bloodline feature
You can spend 9 Sorcery Points as a bonus action to
manifest the full extent of your vampirism for 1 minute or
until you end the transformation as a bonus action, provided
that you are not in running water or direct sunlight. For the
duration of the transformation, you gain the following
benefits:
Your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores all
become 18 if they are not higher already.
You do not need to breathe and are considered undead for
the purposes of all spells, effects, etc.
You have Darkvision out to 120 feet.
You gain a vampire’s Regeneration, Spider Climb,
Sunlight Hypersensitivity, and Vampire Weaknesses traits
(MM297).
You have resistance to necrotic damage and to
bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from
nonmagical attacks.
Your unarmed strikes deal 1d8 + your Strength modifier
bludgeoning damage instead of the normal damage for an
unarmed strike. Instead of dealing damage, you can
grapple the target.
You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take
the Attack action on your turn.
You may make an unarmed bite attack against a willing
creature, or one that incapacitated, restrained, or that you
are grappling. On a hit it deals 1d6 + your Strength
modifier damage plus 3d6 necrotic damage. The target’s
hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the
necrotic damage taken, and you regain hit points equal to
that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a
long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit
points to 0. A humanoid slain this way rises at the end of
the round as a zombie under your control for the duration
of your transformation, sharing your initiative count but
taking its turn immediately after yours.
Once per use of this feature, you may use your action to
summon 2d4 swarms of bats or rats, provided that the
sun isn’t up. While outdoors, you can call 3d6 wolves
instead. The called creatures arrive at the beginning of the
next round of combat, acting as your allies and obeying
your spoken commands, sharing your initiative count but
taking their turns immediately after yours. They remain
for the duration of your transformation, until you are
reduced to 0 HP, or until you dismiss them as a bonus
action.

 Otherworldly Patrons
The Archmage
You have formed a pact with a being of tremendous arcane
power. Such patrons include wizened archmages, devious
liches, or even gods of magic such as Corellon, Hecate, or
Vecna. While the aims and personalities of such entities may
vary widly- ranging from most altruistic goodness to most
depraved evil- all of them wield tremendous influence over
the multiverse, such that even the tiny fraction of their power
you recieve from them is still greater than most spellcasters
could even dream of.

1st-level Archmage feature
The Archmage lets you choose from an expanded list of
spells when you learn a warlock spell. The Archmage

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Arcane Expertise
10th-level Archmage feature
The power granted by your patron allows you to cast more
powerful spells as cantrips. Choose two 1st-level wizard
spells, which count as Warlock spells for you: you may cast
either of them at their lowest level without expending a spell
slot. If you wish to cast them at higher levels, you must
expend a Warlock spell slot as normal.
Whenever you finish a long rest, you may exchange one or
both of these spells for different 1st-level spells from the
Wizard spell list.
Arcane Rebuttal
14th-level Archmage feature
So great is the magical knowledge imparted by your patron
that you know how to turn your enemies' own spells against
them. You add counterspell to your warlock spell list if you
don't know it already, and can cast it once without expending
a warlock spell slot. You regain the ability to do so when you
finish a long rest.
In addition, when you succesfully cast counterspell you
may choose to copy the triggering spell in addition to causing
it to fail. You ignore all material components for copied spells,
casting them at the same level as the creature that attempted
to cast them. You do not need to expend an additional spell
slot to copy a spell.
The Dragon
You have made a pact with one of the most powerful dragons
in the multiverse, a being of such great power and knowledge
that it rivals even that of gods. These beings include
greatwryms who have lived for eons, mythical sea serpents or

or Tiamat. While such beings vary considerably in
temprament and goals, all wield tremendous influence over
the Material Plane.

rest.

choose a different one with this feature.
Voice of the Elder Dragon
14th-level Dragon feature

patron. As an action, you can force each hostile creature that
can hear you to make a Wisdom saving throw. The creatures
that fail their saving throws are stunned until the end of your
next turn.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest unless you also expend a warlock spell slot.
The Serpent
You have made a pact with one of the serpent gods, dark and
enigmatic beings whose whispers poison the minds of
mortals and whose machinations are beyond the scope of
rational understanding. These deities lurk and scheme in the
darkest of shadows, preferring stealth and subterfuge to
advance their twisted agendas over direct confrontation.
Such beings include the dark gods revered by the Yuan-Ti,
Jormungandr, and Apophis.

Arcane Traditions
Companiomancer
Companiomancers are wizards to whom a familiar is not a
mere pet, but a lifelong friend. Scholars of this tradition are
form a powerful magical bond with their chosen familiar,
allowing them to cast spells and conduct arcane energy from
their familiar’s location on a level unrivaled by othe
spellcasters. Unlike Conjurers who specialize in summoning
multiple creatures, Companiomancers favor quality over
quantity and are capable of turning even the smallest of
animals into unstoppable conduits of arcane power.
Companiomancy
When you choose this subclass at 2nd level you add the find
familiar spell to your spellbook if it is not there already. Your
familiar gains the following bonuses:
Add your proficiency bonus to your familiar's AC, attack
rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to all saving throws and
any skills it is proficient in.
Your familiar’s Intelligence score becomes 6 if it is not
higher already, and it can understand (but not speak) any
languages that you know.
In combat, your familiar acts during your turn. It can only
move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it
takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action
on your turn to command it to take another action. That
action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If
you are incapacitated, your familiar can take any action of
its choice, not just Dodge.
Your familiar’s hit point maximum is equal to 4 + three
times your wizard level (with a number of hit dice [d4s]
equal to your Wizard level).
Improved Companiomancy
6th-level Companiomancer feature
You may allow any spell you cast that targets yourself to
also target your familiar: if so, it receives the same effects
that you do (healing, buffs, etc.) Your familiar also gains
Evasion (if it is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a
Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it instead
takes no damage on a success and only half on a failure).
Superior Companiomancy
10th-level Companiomancer feature
You may cast any spell from your familiar’s space if it is
within 100 feet of you and may cast spells which do not have
a range of touch.
Additionally, you can magically swap places with your
familiar as a bonus action as long as it is within 100 feet of
you, and may do so a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). You regain all expended
uses of this feature upon completing a long rest.
Masterful Companiomancy
14th-level Companiomancer feature
Your familiar’s attacks count as magical for the purposes of
overcoming resistances and immunities. In addition, your
familiar gains advantage on saving throws against spells and
spell effects. Finally, if your familiar drops to 0 HP its body
turns to dust and its spirit persists as a magical apparition for
a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence modifier
(minimum 1). In this state your familiar gains the Incorporeal
Movement ability and is completely immune to all damage
and effects. At the end of the last round, it vanishes (when you
resummon it in the future it is summoned at as normal).
Golemancer
Golemancers use their magics to animate powerful
constructs to aid them in battle. While the golems they create
van take a wide range of forms, all are powerful threats that
can often turn the tide of battle singlehandedly through their
resilience and capacity to serve as conduits for their master's
spells. Though these golems are simpleminded on their own,
such creations prove dangerous weapons for a mind with the
intelligence and skill to command them.
Golemancy
Starting at 2nd level when you choose this subclass your
study of the arcane allows you to creat a golem, a process
which takes 24 hours and 10 GP per your Wizard level's
worth of materials. It is friendly to you and your companions,
and it obeys your commands. You determine the golem’s
appearance, and your choice has no effect on its statistics.
You may only control one golem at a time: if you create a new
one, the old one immediately perishes.
In combat, the golem shares your initiative count, but it
takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its
reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is
the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn
to command it to take another action. That action can be one
in its start block or some other action. If you are
incapacitated, the golem can take any action of its choice, not
just Dodge.
You may heal the golem with magic by expending spell
