Au Ra Traits
Your Au Ra character has a variety of natural abilities.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2.
Age. Despite their extraordinary physical features, the Au Ra live
about as long as any of the other races of Eorzea, reaching physical
maturity around the age of 16, and living to be around 80 years old.
Alignment. The Au Ra as a whole do not tend to neither good nor
evil, or towards law or chaos. The Xaela tend strongly towards the
chaotic lives of nomads outside of the laws of civilized city-states,
while the Raen enjoy the order provided by the law. Often times an
Au Ra finds themselves to be the product of their upbringing.
Size. There is a large size disparity between men and women of
the Au Ra. Males range anywhere from 6 and a half to 7 feet tall
with a lean build dwarfing the females who rarely grow taller than 5
feet. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Cranial Horns. Your horns act as your means of perceiving
sound. You have improved hearing and spatial awareness compared
to other races because of this. You gain proficiency in the perception
skill.
Gift of Dawn and Dusk. Starting at 3rd level, you gain access to
the heavenly powers of your celestial parents. Xaela will call upon
the Dusk Mother, while the Raen will beckon the Dawn Father in
most cases.
As a action you can unleash the heavenly light of the
moon or sun from within yourself, causing your scales and eyes to
glow in bright orange or light blue. Your transformation lasts for 1
minute or until you end it as a bonus action. During it, you shed
bright light in a 10-foots radius and dim light for an additional 10
feet, and at the end of each of your turns, each creature within 10
feet of you takes radiant damage equal to half your level (rounded
up). In addition, once on each of your turns, you can deal extra
radiant damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an
attack or a spell. The extra radiant damage equals your level.
Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a
long rest.
Languages. You can speak, read and write Common and Auri.
The Auri language does not include gender or numbered nouns or
verbs, causing an Au Ra to mislabel things sometimes when
speaking another language.
 A Valuable Ally

 Difference of Opinion
The Elezen race is divided due to their pride. The Wildwood and
Duskwights found they could not coexist and distanced themselves
from one another. The Wildwood believing they are the true rulers
of the forests in which they live and hold dominion. The largest
population of Wildwood Elezen live in Ishgard, a massive religious
city embroiled in a war against dragonkind, closed off from much of
the world. The Duskwights, who made their homes in the cavern
systems of the forests have since been driven to crime to survive
due to the Wildwood's clutch on the boundaries of the forest.
The Woods and the North
The forest which the Elezen live is the Black Shroud, a massive
forest brought to order by the Wildwood, who protect the forest
from poachers and other threats which would encroach on it.

Elegance and Pride
Long legs, slender bodies, pointed ears and sharp features are all
marks of an elezen. Only rivaling their otherworld appearance is the
poise with which they carry themselves. Their tall, thin frames only
differ within the race by the colour of their skin. All Elezen try to
clothe themselves whenever it is appropriate, valuing their
appearance.

A lightly armoured man maneuvers through the battlefield alongside

a burst of magical energy, dazing their foes, while their allies return
to formation, swaying the battle in their favour.
A quiet woman carefully scratches notes into her research tome.
After a long quiet hour passes, a shining avian figure bursts forth

A carefully launched arrow catches the the elven woman's ally.
Invoking a few words and raising her grimoire to the sky, healing
magics close the wound, allowing their friend to fight on.
These skillful magic users take on many roles on the battlefield,
be it a commander of their allies, a medic or a destructive force.
Through careful planning and preparation an Arcanist becomes an
indomitable force to stand against.
Magic Through Research
Arcanists work hard to explore the secrets of magic, only through
deep understanding of formulas and geometrical figures can they
produce magical effects. Their tomes and grimoires are filled with
fascinating formulas and diagrams, which when fed magical energy
from the Arcanist's body burst forth into powerful spells. Ever
thirsty for greater knowledge, an Arcanist seeks knowledge and
then tests that knowledge.
Borrowed Power
One thing which sets the Arcanist apart from other spell casters is
their usage of summoning companions. Early in their studies an
Arcanist learns to summon forth a magical servant. This is the first
major task of an Arcanist and helps to sharpen their powers. The
companion borrows some of the Arcanist's power and in return
gives the caster an unwavering ally on the field of battle.
Creating an Arcanist
An Arcanist's path begins with a few formulas scrawled in a tome
and a large amount of time practicing their craft, researching to
unlock greater power to have at their disposal. You must consider
what was your Arcanist's call to action? Perhaps their thirst for
knowledge couldn't be satisfied at their desk, or they saw that their
abilities could help the world in another way. Perhaps they
uncovered some information that they must investigate or acted
upon.
Whatever the cause which brought the Arcanist out into the
world, they do so with their research in hand and companion by
their side.

Nymian Scholar
Some Arcanists decide to research the use of their magic in the
medical arts. These Arcanists come to be known as nymian
scholars, specializing in the lost healing magic of nym. They call on
the fey of this lost city, summoning them to assist them on the field

Starting at 2nd level, your healing spells are more effective.
Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points
to a creature, the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2 +
the spell's level.
Fey's Embrace

number possible on any of the dice, roll another dice of the same
value and add that number to the amount of hit points recovered.
You can use the feature only once per turn.
Adloquiem
Starting at 10th level, when you cast a spell of 1st level or higher to
restore hit points to a creature, you can expend one aetherflow
stack to empower the heal. Your healing spell creates a protective
ward on the creature, granting them temporary hit points equal to
half the hit points recovered for 10 minutes. If a critical heal
occurred, the temporary hit points is equal to the full amount of hit

Nymian Savior
Starting at 18th level, when you would normally roll one or more
dice to restore hit points with a spell, you instead use the highest
number possible for each die.
For example, instead of restoring 2d6
hit points to a creature, you restore 12. Additionally roll your spell as
you usually would to determine if it's a critical heal.

Astrologian
A slender woman draped in fine robes sits in a dark room across
from a man who feels he has lost his way. Smiling she releases her
Planisphere and a flurry of arcana cards into the air. From the
squall of cards she draws and divines the man’s fate, instilling in the
lost soul a sense of peace and hope for the future.
A man stands behind his allies on the battlefield. He raises his
Star Globe to the sky and begins to channel energy into this tool.
Using the power of the stars above, soothing energy radiates
outwards, enveloping his allies, turning the tide of battle from the
prior dire circumstance they fought against.
A well versed Astrologian stands before a congregation of people.
She has come to spread the word of her rare new art, offering
understanding of the future through the power of the stars. It has
become her sacred duty to bring the stars into view for the common
people.
Whether they stand behind their allies granting them the blessing
of the stars and moons of the universe, or standing alongside them
on the front line, Astrologians manipulate the

fates of both friends and foe to find success.

Wielders of Fate
The first task of all Astrologians is to gain a mastery over using the
deck of sixty. To them, fortune telling is a tool which allows them to
interpret the stars themselves. Their deck is based on the
constellations that they study. The Astrologians are gifted a divining
deck when they begin their study from their master. They act as a
conduit for the magic energy gathered by their star globes, passing
the empowering magic from the stars to their allies.
An Elegant Tool
The Star Globe is a tool used by Astrologians which allows them to
locate and draw in power from the stars. The globes are formed by
large rings of precious metal and lenses. The rings are marked
using a large spread of precise markings and which allows the user
to find and map the stars in order to draw power without a view of
the sky.
Creating an Astrologian
Astrologians hail from a faraway island where knowledge is viewed
as the greatest virtue. Astrologians are usually scholars by trade,
and specialized in the study of astromancy. Often they find
themselves born into the scholar’s life or into highborn families.
Sometimes low born apprentices find themselves working beneath
a master of astromancy and learn how to tap into the magic of the
stars. Astrologians are blessed with the ability to read the future.
Through the use of the deck of sixty and the stars they are capable
of tapping into the future, though the farther they look, the less clear
things become. Some Astrologians travel the land to share this gift
of foresight with everyone, while others seek out opportunities to
spread their young order of magic around the realm. Others track
down allies and adventure, as the stars had mandated that the
Astrologian set out on a quest for a task which they cannot see the
end of. Astrologians borrow power from the cosmos, and in return
seeks to see that the will of the stars is done.

College of the Wanderer - Bard
Archetype
The word "bard" ordinarily puts folk in mind of those itinerant
minstrels, fair of voice and nimble of finger, who earn their coin
performing in taverns and the halls of great lords.
Few know, however, that bards in fact trace their origins back to
the bowmen of old, who sang in the heat of battle to fortify the
spirits of their companions.
In time, their impassioned songs came
to hold sway over the hearts of men, inspiring their comrades to
great feats and granting peace unto those who lay upon the
precipice of death.
Troubadour
When you join the College of the Wanderer at 3rd level you learn to
weave together the art of archery with the power of aether. You gain
proficiency with longbows and the Arcana skill.

If you are proficient with a simple or martial weapon, you can use it
as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.

Additionally, when your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or

replace a bard spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new
spell from the ranger spell list or the bard spell list. You must
otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it
becomes a bard spell for you.

When you gain this feature choose two cantrips from Caustic
Bite, Empyreal Arrow, Misery's End, Rain of Death or Stormbite to
learn. They count as bard cantrips for you, but don't count against
your number of cantrips known. You learn another cantrip from this
list at 7th, 11th and 15th level.

Army's Paeon
Starting at 3rd level your songs and words enchant your comrades
strikes with the power of sound. A creature that has a Bardic
Inspiration die from you can roll that die to add an extra 2d6 to a
melee weapon damage roll it just made.
This damage increases when you reach certain levels in this
class, increasing to 3d6 at 5th level, 4d6 at 10th level, and 6d6 at
15th level.
Mage's Ballad
Starting at 6th you learn to weave the power of aether into the most
mundane of strikes. Once per turn when you hit a creature with a
weapon attack, you can expend one bard spell slot to deal thunder
damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra
damage is 1d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level
higher than 1st.
When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points using this feature, you
regain one use of your Bardic Inspiration.
Wanderer's Minuet
Starting at 14th you have learned to cloak yourself with the
wandering winds. You can use your bonus action to teleport to a

Black Mage
A Lalafell stands before a horde of kobolds, blood thirsty they dash
towards him. With a few skillful waves of his staff, a large fireball
erupts from the gem inlaid at the end of the staff, causing a massive
fiery explosion, leaving nothing but ash.
A woman wearing dark robes grins as she waves her wand before
a guard refusing her entry. With a few choice words and a spell, the
guard happily steps aside, unlocking the passage before falling
unconscious due to illness.
An Elezen laughs at his reflection as he inspects his body after
tapping into the powers of the void. His eyes glow red and his teeth
bare fangs, signs that his mastery of magic is growing.
A Black Mage is a powerful ally who wields forbidden magic
stolen from the void. This raw energy manifests itself into
devastating spells and effects. Their power is only rivaled by their
thirst to increase that power.
A Dark Past
In days long past, there existed an evil clan and arcane art known as
black magic—a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by
a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this
instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear
and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the
judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the
path of ruin.
Adventurers who take the black will become agents of
devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through
little more than the force of their will.
Ties to the Void
In order for a mage to don the black, they must extensively research
what they call the void. This is another plane of existence from
which Black Mages draw knowledge, in order to unlock power
within themselves. Most Black Mages are able to explore the
knowledge gained from the void through tomes and texts now, but
some who thirst for new power can attempt to tap into the void
directly. Black Mages continue to grow within their craft through
continuing their study of the dark arts.
Creating a Black Mage
Black Mages are earnest in their desires and reasons for taking the
black. More often than not it is in the pursuit of power or out of
sheer curiosity. You must know why you are pursuing this power, or
why you are curious about the dark arts. You must also decide
where you began to dip your toes into the world of black magic. Did
you join a cult of mages who studied the art? Perhaps a proper
school which provides the proper materials to explore black mage.
Maybe you were taken under the wing of a mentor who has
mastered the art.

Dark Knight
A man clad in heavy armor cleaves his way through the battlefield .
An aura of darkness radiates out from him. His blows are swift and
sunder the foe's armor. His enemies turn and run, claiming he is no
man, but a demon.
Standing before a wounded citizen, a woman clad in ebony holds
out her hand towards the group of guards. She alone stands
between the corrupted enforcers and the innocent soul. She chants
in a lost tongue and a blast of dark energy launches from her palm,
striking a guard down.
Battered and bloodied, a man drags himself to his feet. Armor
dark as night, accented by his own blood, he feels energy bursting
forth from his body. Using his pain as a weapon he strikes down the
great beast before him before falling to a knee.
It is a Dark Knight's freedom from the bounds of the law which
make these dark avengers so effective. Unconcerned with what is
lawful, a Dark Knight is concerned with what is ethical in their view.
Those who spread tyranny and injustice best prepare for a visit from
a Dark Knight who aims to set things right.
Protecting the Meek
A Dark Knight is a knight who has taken up arms to serve the
downtrodden. They serve no lords or institutions, believing no one
is exempt from justice, no matter what their position in society.
They protect the common folk from not only banditry and wild
beasts, but from corrupt men who seek to oppress them. In return,
Dark Knights are often fed and housed by those they protect, or rely
upon bounty hunting and raiding looters to support themselves.
Internal Darkness
When an adventurer chooses the path of a Dark Knight they
understand that they are renouncing their rights to be a regular
member of society. They belong to no society, acting as paragons of
justice who see no allegiance. To assist them in their quest, Dark
Knights are able to sacrifice their own life force to power a well of
darkness within themselves. They cause themselves great pain and
exhaustion in order to allow dark power to course through their
body which they harness in a variety of ways.
Creating a Dark Knight
Dark Knights are natural adventurers, living outside the law to see
their goals to fruition. They may live within a remote village
protecting the inhabitants from bandits, while the land's knights
turn a blind eye to their plight, or they may travel the world seeking
out institutionalized injustice and smiting it with violence. Dark
Knights act on behalf of the common folk, and do so not expecting
praise nor admiration. They are aware that they will not be
celebrated in the history books like Paladins would be. Instead they
expect to be demonized by history and happily accept this fact. One
seeking to become a Dark Knight must be introduced to it through
some means, be it an ancient tome with their rituals recorded or a
mentor to impart their knowledge.

Dragoon
The earthshaking roar of a dragon echoes across the battlefield .
Beating its wings furiously, the beast swoops down from the sky. A
man clad in scale mail leaps high into the air and plunges down
onto the creature's back, driving his spear into its spine, forcing the
creature to the ground.
A woman stands among the chaos of war. She rushes down an
opponent, striking with the ferocity of a dragon. Those who stood
against her that day claim to have seen a dragon sweep the area
with its fiery breath, rather than simply a woman with a long armed
weapon.
Grinning excitedly a young man jumps high into the air laughing.
He has left the path of war to perfect his mastery of the sky. When
he reaches the peak of his jump, he sprouts spectral wings and flies
off into the distance.
These fearless warriors stand against dragons, demons, fiends
and any other threats who would raise a hand against their
homelands. Dragoons use their command of both the sky and
ground to strike down their foes with deadly strikes.
Dragon's Bane
The Dragoon was a soldier born out of need in a distant land. Their
homeland has been locked in a war against dragonkind for
hundreds of years, leading to their soldiers to specialize in battling
back against dragons. Their most notable ability is the Dragoon
jump, which is powered by a magical gem each Dragoon receives
upon completing their basic training.
Scourge of the Sky
The Dragoons have been blessed with the ability to soar high into
the air like those they have taken up arms to destroy. These warriors
are able to crash down from the sky using their weapons and body
weight to drive any skyborn into the ground, or cause great damage
to those already on land. Wings will not grant you safety from a
Dragoon.
Creating a Dragoon
When creating a Dragoon, consider what brought them down the
path of a specialized knight. They may have shown a certain
aptitude which allowed them to become a dragoon with ease, or
perhaps were born into the role due to the history of their
homeland. A dragoon may have decided upon this path due to the
stories of famed dragoons of legends, hoping to become as powerful
and respected as the knights they had heard about while they were
growing up.
Consider why a Dragoon would choose to head out on an
adventure. Are they seeking a specific dragon, hoping to slay an
enemy of their nation? Could your dragoon have unfinished
business with a dragon from their past? Sometimes a dragoon may
set out for the sake of journeying around the land.
Quick Build
You can make a Dragoon quickly by following these suggestions.
First make Strength your highest ability score, following with
Dexterity. Second take the Soldier background.

Echoes of the Dragonsong
Dragoons are a remnant and living memory of the Dragonsong War.
They came to prominence during the war against dragonkind by
their fore bearers. Dragoons specialized in battling the ferocious
beasts and overtime channeled their power into their own fighting
style. Some Dragoons came to specialize in laying dragons low,
ending their lives, while others learned to harness their power.
Some turned from dragons altogether, and focused on their ability
to take to the skies and explore the world unlike any who had come
before them.
Dragon Slayer
A Dragoon who has chosen to focus on the utter destruction of
dragon kind begins to walk the path of a Dragon Slayer. This class
of Dragoon excels at combating all manner of dragons, having a rich
knowledge of their foes, and the strategies needed to defeat them.
Their combat abilities evolve around pinpointing the weaknesses of
dragons and laying them low.
Elusive Jump
Starting at 3rd level, when you are the target of an attack, as a
reaction you may expend a use of your Dragoon's Trance or end
your currently active Trance to perform an Elusive Jump. You leap

speed while evading the attempted attack roll, taking only half the
damage if it would have been a hit. For rounds equal to your

end of your next turn.

deals 3d6 extra damage as you are able to pinpoint their most

 Machinist
A woman stands before a group of goblins. Negotiations have
broken down and the goblins have drawn their blades. Before they
can take a step towards her, she unleashes a lethal bullet from her
pistol, laying their leader low, causing the others to retreat in fear of
this unknown weaponry.
Carefully, an exhausted Machinist puts the finishing touches on
their newest creation. They flip the switch and the small tower
shaped machine takes flight. It receives its commands and a tiny
pistol lets loose a bullet destroying the target. A smile spreads
across the master tinkerer's face.
The grinding gears of the clockwork construct click away as it
follows its master onto the battlefield . The Machinist commands
their mammet to rush the battlefield. Unwavering the small soldier
dashes forward, striking out with it's specially crafted blade.
Machinists have spent many hours in the workshop to progress
the art of war. From the creation of firearms, to the production of
mechanical constructs for the battlefield , the Machinist ensure the
gears of war continue to turn ever efficiently.
Forefront of Innovation
A Machinist is an incredibly skilled artisan who has decided to push
the boundaries of current technology and has managed to do so
successfully. They are capable of building a wide variety of
machines and firearms which they use to overwhelm enemies of
their homes through sheer efficiency. Those who welcome a
Machinist to live within their city will be granted the boons of a true
genius.
In the name of Advancement
When a Machinist completes their new arms and weapons, there
are few in the world who are able to use them. For that reason, it
falls upon the Machinist themself to head out into the world to field
test their creations. From the deadliest of rifles to the fastest
motorized vehicles, the Machinist must push their creations to their
limit and continue to modify them. As adventurer's this is the drive
of a Machinist, to test their equipment and rework it on a long
journey in the name of science and innovation.
Creating a Machinist
When creating a Machinist you must keep in mind why they may be
heading out on their adventure. Is your Machinist field testing their
inventions, or seeking inspiration to create even more intricate
machines? Perhaps they are on a journey to make the world a better
place by bestowing their creations for the common man. A
Machinist has the most advanced technology at their fingertips and
are using that technology to make life more efficient.
Another
possibility is their natural curiosity has taken hold and your
character may just be setting out on the journey for the sake of it.

Way of Rhalgr - Monk Archetype
Those who are students of the Fist of Rhalgr are monks from a
distant realm. They spend their days worshiping their god Rhalgr,
the god of destruction within their pantheon. To the monks who
specialize in the Fist of Rhalgr style, to achieve perfection in martial
prowess is the greatest veneration to Rhalgr.
The monks of this powerful style focus on opening chakra gates
within themselves and achieving a phenomenon they refer to as
Greased Lightning. This state of flow occurs as a Monk strings their
blows together into long flowing combinations usually finishing off
with a destructive strike in Rhalgr's honor.
Greased Lightning
Starting at 3rd level, your onslaught of attacks has reached deadly
efficiency, allowing you to enter a state of flow. If you use Flurry of
Blows and target one creature with both unarmed strikes, you can
make one more unarmed strike as part of your Flurry of Blows. You
make this attack at advantage and add your wisdom modifier to it's
damage roll.
Forbidden Chakra
Starting at 6th level, you have learned to unleash the power of the
Chakra gates as a storm of lightning fast blows.

During your turn you can make one additional unarmed strike per
attack you have made during this turn. This does not apply to
attacks made during Forbidden Chakra.

You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you
finish a long rest.

the Fist of Rhalgr style. After connecting with a successful Greased
Lightning strike, you can spend 2 Ki points to deliver a powerful
blow. The targeted creatures must make a saving throw against your
Ki save DC.
Dragon Kick. A leaping corkscrew kick aimed at the target's
head, dealing 2d8 bludgeoning damage. The target must make a

Elixir Field. You leap into the air above your target and unleash a
wave of Ki energy downwards, suspending yourself in the air as you
burn all creatures within a 10 foot radius centered on you with raw
energy. Affected creatures make a dexterity saving throw, receiving
4d8 radiant damage on a failed save and half as much on a
successful save.
Howling Fist. You crash your fist into the ground with
tremendous force, causing a shockwave of Ki powered explosions to
travel in a 15 foot line in front of you. Affected creatures make a
dexterity saving throw, receiving 4d8 fire damage on a failed save
and half as much on a successful save.
Tornado Kick. You leap into the air and deliver a series of swift
but powerful kicks to your target creating a small localized tempest.

Starting at 17th level you can use your bonus action to use any of
the abilities offered by the Meditative Brotherhood feature at the
cost of 6 Ki points. Once you use this feature, you must finish a
short or long rest before you can use it again.

Ninja (Rogue Archetype)
You have chosen to study the art of the ninjas of Doma. These
talented fighters have learned to channel the power from the world
around them, the heavens, the earth and the hearts of man through
the use of mudras or hand gestures. These traditional arts are
passed down from master to student, father to son and mother to
daughter. Their secrets are closely guarded by the practitioners.
Each mudra carries meaning. The Ten mudras draws power from
the heavens, while the Chi mudra draws power from the earth. Jin
completes the triangle, drawing power from the hearts of man.
Together, these mudras allow the ninja to draw power from the
world they live in.
Shukuchi
Starting at 3rd level you have learned the secrets of shukuchi. You
instantaneously travel a maximum distance of 5 feet per rogue level.
You can travel over gaps in the ground, but cannot scale walls using
Shukuchi. At 13th level you leave behind an optional 15 foot cube of
smoke. You can only use Shukuchi when you take the hide action or
while hidden. You must expend one use of your Ten mudra to use
Shukuchi.
Ninjutsu
Starting at 3rd level you gain access to the mudra 'Ten'. As an
action, you can cast ninjutsu by combining mudra together. You can
use each mudra a number of times equal to half your rogue level

Trick Attack
Starting at 13th level you are able to perform a trick attack. When
you hit an enemy with a sneak attack, you can expend one use of
each mudra to perform a trick attack. The target then becomes
vulnerable causing all attack rolls to have advantage against that
creature until the start of your next turn.
Kassatsu
Starting at 17th level after using a ninjutsu you can use a bonus
action to use a second ninjutsu which requires one fewer mudra.
You must then finish a short or long rest to use this feature again.

Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at the 3rd level, you gain the following two
Channel Divinity options.
Cover. As an action you create an aetherial link with a creature
within 10 feet of you. All damage that ally would take is taken by you
instead. The link lasts a number of rounds equal to your Charisma
ability modifier or until you end it as a bonus action. The creature
you are linked to must remain within 10 feet of you or the link is
broken.
Flash. As an action you present your holy symbol which flashes
with blinding light. Each hostile creature within 30 feet of you must
make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is
blinded for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma ability
modifier. On a successful save until the start of your next turn, a
creature has disadvantage on any attack roll that isn't against you.
When a target affected by this feature hits a creature other than you
with a attack, the creature has resistance to the damage dealt by the
attack.
Aura of Veil
Starting at 7th level, allies within 10 feet of you are protected by a
divine veil. As a reaction, you can choose to redirect half the damage
an ally would receive to yourself.
At 18th level, the range of this aura is increased to 30 feet.
Shield Oath
Starting at 15th level, your oath of protection allows you to easily
block attacks. When a creature that you can see makes an attack
roll against you, you can use your reaction to expend a hit dice,
rolling a Hit Dice and subtracting the number rolled from the
creature's roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature
makes its roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack
hits.

Red Mage
Like a lightning bolt streaking through the battlefield, she makes
quick work of foe after foe. At the first sign of danger, the crimson
beauty flips over the head of the foe behind her, letting loose a wave
of energy as a parting gift.
A confident smirk spreads across the face of the veteran Red
Mage. He unleashes spell after spell in quick succession, drawing
on countless elements until his foe is annihilated.
As though a flower amongst a sea of weeds, the Red Mage leads
their allies into battle. With a deep trust that they'll stay at their side,
she turns her friends into the perfect dancing partners for this
adventure, empowering them to match their grace.
Red Mages have drawn on a multitude of disciplines across the
world, mixing black and white magic along with focused swordplay
and style. All of these abilities have combined in this alluring mix of
talent and flair, creating a hero worthy of becoming legendary.
Crimson Mage
Some fairy tales of Gyr Albania speak of the heroic deeds and
daring adventures of mages clothed in crimson. These adventurers
are known as Red Mages, and travel the world protecting the good
in the world by drawing on both white and black magic, while
mixing martial prowess into a flawless battle style.
It's Not About Fame
Their thirst for adventure, flashy style and renowned flair may lead
many to believe that a Red Mage becomes an adventurer for the
admiration of their fellow man, but that is not the case. Those who
take the Red do so in order to take up arms to protect the good in
the world and bring wrongdoers to justice. It is their heroic spirit
which drives them to action, the garnered fame is just a perk.
Creating a Red Mage
When creating a Red Mage, you must consider why they may be
heading out on their adventure. Did they become fed up with the
oppressive nature of the world and seek the need to become a hero
to the common man? They may have learned of a plot which
endangers their home, perhaps the world as a whole and will stop at
nothing to end it. Maybe it is simply a need to chase the thrill of
adventure and become a hero of legend.
One key consideration to make as a Red Mage is where you came
to learn your myriad of skills. Was it through the study of old tomes
you discovered in an abandoned warehouse or library? Did you
meet a mentor who saw great potential in you and introduced you to
the art? Whatever the origin, you wield powerful skills with an
artistic flair.
Quick Build
You can make a Red Mage quickly by following these suggestions.
First make Charisma your highest ability score, followed by
Dexterity. Second take the Folk Hero background. Third take the
Fire Bolt, Jolt, Mage Hand and Prestidigitation cantrips, and the
first level spells Chromatic Orb and Cure Wounds.

The young man stands before a ferocious beast, his blade still
sheathed the villagers look on in horror as it closes in on its prey.
With a smirk the man draws his blade and in a few lightning quick
strokes, the beast falls with a thud.
The experienced veteran stands before a group of bandits. Their
untrained strikes are easily dodged by the man, as he delivers blow
after vicious blow, punishing each of their failed attempts on his life.
A young woman wanders into the city, her identity hidden beneath
her shade. She hears of the oppression of the people in the village
by the local lord. She nods to herself, knowing she has arrived at yet
another town which would be better off without a master.
Far across the churning waves, beneath the rising sun, an island
nation gave birth to a prolific style of swordplay. These noble
warriors were sworn to their masters as their protectors, willing to
give up their lives to see their duty complete. Honour or death was a
common ideal for these disciplined soldiers.
Swordsmen of Legend
The Samurai are legendary swordsmen who lived by a code of
honour. In service to the lords of their regions, they protected their
lands with their lives and enforced their law without question. To do
so, the Samurai nourished a timeless style of swordplay which
remains mythic in its reputation to this day.
The Power Within
The Samurai draw on inner energies and an unshakeable
discipline. These are the tools which the Samurai built their
reputation. To take up and master the katana is to enter a league of
your own, though not every samurai has been known to wield the
blade for a master, some choosing to follow their own code and
travel the world.
Creating a Samurai
When creating a Samurai, you have to decide how they became
involved in the discipline. Were they born into the tradition, being
the son of a Samurai or lord? Perhaps they fight in a self-taught
style which they continually hone through their travels.
on top of their roots as a Samurai, you must consider why you
fight as a Samurai. Are you on a quest on behalf of a lord, or directly
protecting their master's lands. Perhaps they cast off their ties to
their masters and teachers altogether and travel the world for their
own gain, or the protection of the common man.
Quick Build
You can make a Samurai quickly by following these suggestions.
First make Strength your highest ability score, following with
Wisdom. Second take the Soldier background.

Warrior
A Roegadyn woman stands locked in combat with a hobgoblin. With
each swing of his blade, she meets with ferocity and powerful blows.
The battle rages on, the woman feeding off the ecstasy of battle,
receiving succor with each blow she lands.
A man dashes into the heat of battle, his battleaxe swinging wildly
around him. He lets out an earth shaking battle cry as he crushes
the ground and all those around him with explosive force.
A lightly armored figure stands at his ally's sides. His powerful
voice echoes out across the field, empowering his allies as he leads
his comrades into battle, axe drawn and swinging like a tempest of
steel and iron.
Like a symbol crash in an orchestra, a Warrior is an explosive
force which stands out in any situation. Their booming voice, raw
strength and powerful strikes are their tools for victory.
Indomitable Forces
The Warrior finds their roots in ancient tribes akin to barbarians.
These fearless fighters are peerless in their control of a force which
they call the inner beast. Warriors often come from tribal
backgrounds in which they learn to nurture and control this inner
animal, which in turn grants them beast like strength and ferocity.
Warrior bands once roamed unsettled lands as nomads, enjoying
the boons which nature offers and defending the weak from those
who would do them harm.
Unending Rage
Not unlike nature itself, a Warrior has the potential to become a
relentless force of destruction. Like a raging forest fire, or an all
consuming tidal wave, a Warrior can unleash their inner beast to
harness its rage. This state of being is known as berserking. While
berserking, Warriors continually chase foes and defend allies, using
their bloodlust to keep themselves in the battle as a threat.
Creating a Warrior
When creating a Warrior, one must consider their origins as a
Warrior. Are you a descendant of the ancient tribes from which
Warriors are able to draw their lineage? Perhaps you were a
fledgling adventurer who found a mentor in the form of a former
Warrior who passed on the secrets of the inner beast. Perhaps you
had a natural attunement to the ways of the Warrior and have
developed your skills without guidance.
You must also consider why you have set out on your life of
adventuring? As a Warrior, have you decided to seek out dangerous
challenges to sharpen your skills or sate the appetite of the hungry
beast inside you? Perhaps you have taken up arms in defense of
your tribe, a village or a loved one? Warriors set out for any number
of reasons.
Quick Build
You can make a Warrior quickly by following these suggestions.
First make Strength your highest ability score, following with
Constitution. Second take the Outlander background.

The Beast Within

Warriors believe there is a beast within all the hearts of man. It is
from this beastial force that they derive their power. There are two
traditional approaches to working alongside one's inner beast. The
Defiant tradition has the Warrior stand in opposition to the
destructive forces of the inner beast, while The Reckless tradition
sees the Warrior allow this beast to run wild, directing the
destructive forces unmitigated.
The Beast of Defiance
A warrior who has cut their teeth under this tradition has tamed the
beast within their heart, and gained great control over it. They
channel the strength from this force only when it is needed, and are
able to fight defensively with the help of such forces. Finding succor
in the destruction of their foes and defense of their friends sees a
defiant warrior become a powerful ally.
Subdue
Starting at 3rd level, while you are under the effects of Berserk,
when you hit a creature with a weapon attack on your turn, you can

White Mage
A quiet and well groomed man waves his cane around himself,
drawing in magical energy from the land and calling forth its power.
With a flick of his wrist the land parted and erupted sending his foe
toppling to the ground.
A gentle young woman rushes to their ally's side. Through prayer
and reverence for the land, its power is shared with her, allowing her
to close the wounds of her dying friend.
A stern heavily robed figure approached the abomination, raised
from the dead. Calling for shining light, she banishes the undead
back to the abyss.
Serene and elegant, the White Mages commune with the world
around them, borrowing power from elementals present throughout
the word. They are level headed, respectful spell casters who are
aware that overstepping one's bounds in the world of magic can lead
to calamity, and seek to keep order within the magic world while
mending the wounds of those around them.
One with the land
White Mage's strength stems from an art they refer to as conjury.
Conjury calls upon the elements of earth, wind, and water and
concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved.
Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation,
conjurers draw forth and absorb magic from their immediate
surroundings. A wand or cane made from unworked wood is then
utilized to focus the magical energy until it manifests as the desired
spell. Versed also in magicks that restore and strengthen, White
Mages are regarded as accomplished healers.
Patrons of Light
White Mages find their roots in a society which revered nature as an
ally, borrowing the power of the land and elementals to soothe
wounds and protect from the wicked. Over time, the White Mages of
the past overused this power causing the elementals to act out and
smite the land, alongside the damage wrought by the opposing
Black Mages, the world fell into a dark age. Today White Mages are
few and far between, practicing the forbidden art to wield the
powers of nature and light to drive off evil in protection of the world
again.
Creating a White Mage
When creating a White Mage one must question how they came
into the art of conjury and the profession of White Mage. Did a
kindly mentor take you under their wing? Did your studies of magic
from the past lead you to discovering how to draw power from the
world you lived in? Perhaps the elementals which inhabit the land
reached out to you and their whispers guided you to the path of a
White Mage. Nonetheless a White Mage's role in the world is that of
a protector, soothing the wounds of those who need it most, settling
enraged elementals and driving the beings who bring destruction
back from hence they came.

The Protectors of the
Future
The White Mages goal in life is to safeguard the future through the
use of the inherent magic hidden within the land. This has lead to
three paths which a White Wage chooses between to help focus
what power they draw forth. An elementalist uses the power of
nature to control earth, wind and water in defense of the land. The
spirit master uses the essence of the world alongside the magic
within their allies to bring forth powerful healing spells. The
Ampdapori makes use of the power of light to bring forth a powerful
advantage against blasphemous invaders to their realm.
Elementalist
White Mages who choose to focus on manipulating the elements
around them come to be known as elementalists. They are able to
work very closely with the elementals living across the land to
borrow their strength and knowledge, turning the world itself into
an ally.

Starting at 10th level, you have developed an innate resistance to
elemental magic. You have resistance to cold, fire and lightning

The Machinist only has access to a limited number of firearms, detailed in the list above. If you'd like to use a different kind
of firearm, talk to your DM.

Special Attributes
Weapons with special rules are described here.

Levinshot. When you make a attack with this weapon, you make one special ranged weapon attack against every creature within a 15 feet cone in
front of you, dealing damage to each creature you hit. If a creature is within 5 feet of you, you can instead use two shells to make the attack against
said creature without having disadvantage on the attack roll, dealing 6d6 lightning damage to the creature instead of in a cone. You can only attack
with this weapon once per turn and do not add your dexterity mod to damage rolls made for this weapon.

This weapon uses special ammunition called Levinbolts.

Reload. A limited number of shots can be made with a weapon that has the reload property. A character must then reload it using an action or a
bonus action (the character's choice).
