Rogue Waxworks Rogue
The Postal Corps was created to carry packages between villages
as well as guard merchant wagons through treacherous areas. But
there are some areas on Obojima that are rife with arcane, nether
worldly dangers and uncanny occurrences.
Legend says that it was Lydia Starwright, Postal Corps First Class
who, against all advice, sought out the aid of a powerful witch who
was rumored to live within a hut of melted wax deep within the
Land of Hot Water. It was there in that melted hut where the witch
taught Lydi the arcane practices known only to certain spirits of the
island, the ability to enchant wax and fire in wondrous ways. It was
this knowledge that transformed Lydi into the first Waxwork Rogue.
Lydi brought back this knowledge to the Postal Corps, and formed
the Waxworks division, a dedicated group of arcane rogues who
would volunteer for the most perilous assignments and deliveries
of the Postal Corps.
In the present day, the Waxworks division have long since broken
away from the ranks of the Postal Corps, and are now their own
organization, yet they still do much work for the Corps, dealing with
supernatural mysteries and escorting cargo through ethereal and
perilous realms.
Conjure Flame
At 3rd level, you learn the dancing lights cantrip (the lights appear
as floating candles) and the produce flame cantrip.
Wax Enchantments
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn wax
enchantments, which are fueled by your ability to pull and
manipulate magic from the spirit realm. These are represented
by a number of wick points.
Enchantments. You learn three enchantments of your choice,
which are detailed under “Enchantments” below.
You learn two additional enchantments of your choice at 5th,
10th, and 15th level. Each time you learn new enchantments, you
can also replace one enchantment you know with a different one.
Saving Throws. Some of your enchantments require creatures
to make a saving throw to resist the enchantment’s effects. The
saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Enchantment save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence or Charisma modifier (your choice)
Wick Points. You have 3 wick points, which represent your
current ability to harness the magic from the spirit realm.
Manipulating the magic from another realm and pulling its energy
into an object, even one as small and simple as a candle, can be
both physically and mentally taxing. When you spend a wick point,
it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of
which you regain all of your expended wick points.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you gain 1 additional
wick point.
SPELLS
ENCHANTMENTS
The enchantments are presented in alphabetical order.
Delicacy. As an action, you can spend 1 wick point to imbue the
tart flavor of a pyramid mellon and the healing properties of a
river spirit into your candle. As a bonus action, a creature can
consume the candle, causing it to regain 1d6 hit points and
providing enough nourishment to sustain it for one day. A candle
holds this enchantment for 24 hours, after which the properties
of Delicacy fade. You can have no more than 2 candles with this
enchantment at a time.
Starting at 13th level, the creature regains 1d12 hit points,
instead of 1d6, and you can have up to 4 candles with this
enchantment at a time.
Thinning Veil. As an action, you can spend 2 wick points to ignite
this wide, irregularly shaped candle, which emits a gentle, pale
blue light, shedding dim light in a 20-foot radius centered on itself.
This unique and eerie aura acts as a bridge connecting our world
and the spirit realm, granting you the ability to perceive creatures
from the Spirit Plane whenever they are in the light’s area. These
spirits are revealed as glowing outlines of themselves. This candle
continues to burn for a number of hours equal to your Intelligence
or Charisma modifier (your choice; minimum of 1 hour).
Iron Seal. As an action, you can spend 1 wick point to melt and
press the wax seal of iron onto any door or object with a lid. Once
imbued with your seal the object becomes magically shut and
can’t be opened unless a creature makes a successful Strength
(Athletics) check against your Enchantment save DC, at which
point the seal breaks. The Iron Seal lasts until it is broken or
dispelled (as if it were a 1st-level spell). You can use an action to
touch one of your Iron Seals and end its effects early.
Flooding Abundance. As an action, you can spend 2 wick points
to ignite and throw a tea light candle into an unoccupied space
you can see on the ground within 60 feet of you. After landing, the
candle melts rapidly, bubbling and boiling with an overwhelming
amount of wax, which flows over and fills a 15-foot-square
centered on the candle. The wax remains for 1 minute. It is
flammable, and a 5-foot square of wax exposed to fire burns away
in 3 rounds, dealing 2d6 fire damage to any creature that starts its
turn in the fire. All spaces covered in the wax are difficult terrain
for the duration.
Waxlings. By reaching through the veil and into the spirit realm,
you can temporarily pull and trap a minor spirit within a candle,
granting the candle sentience. As an action, you can spend 2 wick
points to summon a waxling, casting the find familiar spell with
the following changes:
Š In place of an animal familiar, you instead imbue life into a
candle, which causes it to grow appendages and eyes.
Š Your waxling familiar uses the statistics of a rat.
Š You can command the familiar to use its action to touch a
flammable object that isn’t being worn or carried and ignite it.
Š You can’t temporarily dismiss the familiar.
Š The familiar is dismissed permanently after 1 hour or when it
is reduced to 0 hit points.
Š You can have more than one of these familiars at a time.
Starting at 13th level, you can spend 3 wicks points as an action,
instead of 2, to summon two waxlings simultaneously.

Shielding Seal. As an action, you can spend 1 wick point to
melt and press the wax seal of shielding onto a willing creature
or object, protecting it from incoming damage. The target of the
seal gains 5 temporary hit points, which last for 24 hours. You can
grant an additional 5 temporary hit points for each additional wick
point spent, to a maximum of 15 temporary hit points. You can only
have one Shielding Seal active at a time. Creating a Shielding Seal
while another seal of the same type is already active ends the
effects of the initial seal early.
Starting at 13th level, you can have up to three Shielding Seals
active at a time, instead of one.
Lost Wax Carving. Using the lost form of wax carving you craft
a detailed replica of an object. When using the wax carving
technique, you can spend 2 wick points over the course of 10
minutes to produce the effects of the duplicate spell. The object
you duplicate can be no larger than a 1-foot cube.
Burning Delay. You can spend 3 additional wick points to
simultaneously activate Burning Delay when you use one of the
following candle enchantments: Candle Pop, Fish Fat Candle, or
Detonate. When you do so, you delay that enchantment’s activation
by 1 round, 1 minute, or 10 minutes (your choice).
Starting at 13th level, you can delay the effects of your candle
enchantments by 1 round, 3 rounds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, or 1 hour.
Candle Pop. As a bonus action, you can spend 2 wick points to
ignite and hurl a misshapen yellow candle at a creature you can
see within 60 feet of you. The target must make a Dexterity saving
throw to avoid being partially encased in wax as the candle
explodes on impact. On a failed save, the target is restrained by
the wax. At the end of each of its turns, a restrained target can
repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Starting at 13th level, Candle Pop affects the target and each
creature within 5 feet of it.
Bocha Glue Wax. Bocha glue is a delicate mixture of the finest
waxes available and a collection of ingredients known only to the
Waxworks. When enchanted properly, it can temporarily hold any
two objects together. As an action, you can spend 1 wick point to
create an adhesive bond between two objects using just
a small amount of bocha glue. The two objects remain bound
together for 24 hours, at which point the enchantment fades and
the two objects are separated. A creature within reach of the
objects can use an action to make a Strength (Athletics) check
against your Enchantment save DC, breaking the bond early on
a success.
Spark Shower. As a bonus action, you can spend 2 wick points
to bring your free hand to your mouth, igniting your next breath.
Your exhale creates a dazzling shower of sparks aimed toward
a creature within 5 feet of you. You have advantage on the next
weapon attack roll you make against the target this turn, and the
target can’t make opportunity attacks until the end of the turn.
Wick Whip. As a bonus action, you can spend 3 wick points to
ignite a 10-foot length of candlewick that has been soaking in the
stomach acid of a dragon frog. The flames burn at an intense heat
that warps the air around them, shedding bright light in a 15-foot
radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet. The wick burns for 1
minute, during which you can use it as a melee weapon that you’re

considered proficient with. It deals 3d4 fire damage on a hit
(adding your ability modifier to the damage roll as normal), and it
has the finesse, light, and reach properties.
Blooming Light. As an action, you can spend 1 wick point to
ignite a dark green candle, which burns in a similar hue,
shedding dim light in a 10-foot radius centered on itself. Creatures
in the candle’s light are hidden from divination magic, and they
can’t be targeted by such magic or perceived through magical
scrying sensors. This effect lasts for 1 hour.
Fish Fat Candle. As an action, you can spend 1 wick point to
ignite and throw an oily brick of blubber candle wax that lands in
an unoccupied space you can see on the ground within 60 feet of
you. One round after the candle lands, it emits a cloud of colorful
smoke that creates a heavily obscured area in a 20-foot radius
centered on it. The candle continues to spew smoke for 1 minute
and creates a visible trail in the sky that can be seen from 10
miles away.
Maker’s Mark. When you make an attack with a one-handed
weapon as part of the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1
wick point to make an unarmed strike as part of the same action
using one of your signet rings. This attack deals bludgeoning
damage equal to 1d4 + your Dexterity modifier, plus an extra 1d6
fire damage. This attack can benefit from your Sneak Attack,
provided you haven’t already dealt your Sneak Attack damage
this turn.
You can use this enchantment once per turn.
Consuming Flame. (10th Level Required). When you see a
hostile creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell, you can use
your reaction and spend 3 wick points to quickly ignite the flame
of a thin white candle and cast counterspell. If the spell was
successfully countered and was 3rd level or lower, you can spend
an additional 2 wick points to reactivate this ability and store the
spell inside your candle.
While holding the candle, you can cast any spell stored in it. The
spell uses the slot level, spell save DC, spell attack bonus, and
spellcasting ability of the original caster, but is otherwise treated
as if you cast the spell. Once the spell has been cast, the candle
is sundered and becomes unusable. A spell can be stored inside
a candle for 24 hours, after which the spell fades and is no longer
able to be used.
Detonate. (5th Level Required). As an action, you can spend 3
wick points to ignite and throw a dark black candle at a point you
can see within 60 feet of you. A brilliant eruption of flame sweeps
out from the candle, causing each creature in a 20-foot-radius
sphere centered on that point to make a Dexterity saving throw.
A target takes 2d6 fire damage and 2d8 thunder damage on a
failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. When
you use this enchantment, you can spend additional wick points
to increase the fire damage dealt by 1d6 for each additional wick
point spent.
The fire spreads around corners. It ignites flammable objects in
the area that aren’t being worn or carried.

Burn Cycle
Starting at 9th level, you can ignite your weapons in a flash of hot
white flames when you successfully catch an enemy off guard.
When you deal Sneak Attack damage on your turn, you can spend
wick points to deal extra fire damage to the target, in addition to
the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 1d6 for each wick point
spent, to a maximum of 4d6.

Advanced Enchantments
When you reach 13th level, some of your enchantments become
more potent. You now use the secondary set of features found
within several of the enchantments.

Spirit Flame
At 17th level, you learn to craft a specialty candle made of pink
wax. As a bonus action, you can ignite this candle, which burns for
1 minute. As long as the burning candle is on your person, you gain
the following benefits:
Š The wick point cost of your enchantments is reduced by 1.
Š You have immunity to fire damage.
Š Spirits have disadvantage on attack rolls against you.
If you fall prone while the burning candle is on your person, you
must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or the candle is
extinguished early.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a
long rest.
