  • Classes | Halcyon D&D

    Classes of Halcyon Adventurers are extraordinary people, driven by a thirst for excitement into a life that others would never dare lead. They are heroes, compelled to explore the dark places of the world and take on the challenges that lesser women and men can’t stand against. Class is the primary definition of what your character can do. It’s more than a profession; it’s your character’s calling. Class shapes the way you think about the world and interact with it and your relationship with other people and powers in the multiverse. A fighter, for example, might view the world in pragmatic terms of strategy and maneuvering, and see herself as just a pawn in a much larger game. A cleric, by contrast, might see himself as a willing servant in a god’s unfolding plan or a conflict brewing among various deities. While the fighter has contacts in a mercenary company or army, the cleric might know a number of priests, paladins, and devotees who share his faith. Your class gives you a variety of special features, such as a fighter’s mastery of weapons and armor, and a wizard’s spells. At low levels, your class may only give you two or three features, but as you advance in level, you gain more and your existing features often improve. Artificer Masters of invention, artificers use ingenuity and magic to unlock extraordinary capabilities in objects. Barbarian A fierce warrior of primitive background who can enter a battle rage. Bard An inspiring magician whose power echoes the music of creation. Blood Hunter Clever warriors of blood magic driven by an unending determination to destroy evils old and new. Fighter A master of martial combat, skilled with a variety of weapons and armor. Cleric A priestly champion who wields divine magic in service of a higher power. Monk A master of martial arts, harnessing the power of the body in pursuit of physical and spiritual perfection. Druid A priest of the Old Faith, wielding the powers of nature—moonlight and plant growth, fire and lightning—and adopting animal forms. Paladin A holy warrior bound to a sacred oath. Ranger A warrior who uses martial prowess and nature magic to combat threats on the edges of civilization. Rogue A scoundrel who uses stealth and trickery to overcome obstacles and enemies. Sorcerer A spellcaster who draws on inherent magic from a gift or bloodline. Warlock A wielder of magic that is derived from a bargain with an extraplanar entity. Wizard A scholarly magic-user capable of manipulating the structures of reality.

  • Paladin | Halcyon D&D

    Paladin Class Features Spellcasting Ancients Conquest Devotion Glory Vengeance Oathbreaker Expectations A paladin swears to uphold justice and righteousness, to stand with the good things of the world against the encroaching darkness, and to hunt the forces of evil wherever they lurk. Different paladins focus on various aspects of the cause of righteousness, but all are bound by the oaths that grant them power to do their sacred work. Although many paladins are devoted to gods of good, a paladin’s power comes as much from a commitment to justice itself as it does from a god. Paladins train for years to learn the skills of combat, mastering a variety of weapons and armor. Even so, their martial skills are secondary to the magical power they wield: power to heal the sick and injured, to smite the wicked and the undead, and to protect the innocent and those who join them in the fight for justice. Almost by definition, the life of a paladin is an adventuring life. Unless a lasting injury has taken him or her away from adventuring for a time, every paladin lives on the front lines of the cosmic struggle against evil. Fighters are rare enough among the ranks of the militias and armies of the world, but even fewer people can claim the true calling of a paladin. When they do receive the call, these warriors turn from their former occupations and take up arms to fight evil. Sometimes their oaths lead them into the service of the crown as leaders of elite groups of knights, but even then their loyalty is first to the cause of righteousness, not to crown and country. Paladin Subclasses Class Features Basics Base Hit Points: 68 Hit Points per Advancement: 14 Actions: 2 Attack, 1 Bonus, 1 Reaction Class Resources Level 8: +2 Casting Attribute: Charisma Starting Kit Shortsword Shield Chain Shirt Proficiencies Armor: Light armor, medium armor, heavy armor, shields Weapons: Simple weapons, martial weapons Sav ing Throws: Wisdom, Charisma Skills: Insight, Religion Proficiency Bonus: Level 8: +2 Level 10: +1 ( 3) Level 12: +1 (4) Lay on Hands As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore 20 hit points to that creature. You may only use this ability twice per long rest. Divine Smite When you hit a creature with a mele e weapon attack, you may choose to expend a level 1 spellslot and a bonus action to deal an additional 2d8 radiant damage to the target. Aura of Courage Requires Level 10 Your courageous aura prevents you and any a llies within 1 tiles from being frightened. Cleansing Touch Requires Level 12 As an action, you cure ally within a 1 tile range of you from any negative magical effects. Usable once per Long Rest. Sacred Oaths Becoming a paladin involves taking vows that commit the paladin to the cause of righteousness, an active path of fighting wickedness. Choose your sacred oath (subclass) from the three available: Oath of Devotion, Oath of Glory, and Oath of Vengeance. If your paladin took their oath in the past and broke it, falling into the dark, you may choose Oathbreaker instead. These will be unlocked at Level 10 and reach their full potential at Level 12. Fighting Style You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the fighting styles from the Feats page. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again. Class Ex pectations All Paladins must adhere to the tenets of their given oath. T hese are all listed under each subclass' appropriate section. For example, an Oath of Glory Paladin believes in facing hardships with courage and encouraging others to do so. Meaning you are likely not to see one surrender a fight or run away just because things have gotten tough. Paladins who go against the beliefs of their oath will receive a warning. Continued failure to meet the expectation for one's chosen subclass will result in the character losing access to their paladin abilities and becoming a level 8 fighter. Those who wish to violate their oath and undergo the process of becoming an Oathbre aker purposefully may do so via a DM ticket. Spellcasting With the taking of your Oath, you are granted the gift of channeling that divine favor into spells. Spell Slots Level 8 1st: +3 2nd: +2 Lev el 10 1st: +2 2nd: +1 3rd: +1 Level 12 3rd: +1 Combat Spells The following list of spells are directly tied to, and reflected within, our dice system.

The command may be: Move - The target moves to an available place you can see and choose within range of its available movement. Halt - The target does not take any movement on its turn.

Ritual Spells Spel ls that require components to cast, or spells that have longer and broader effects than any of the aforementioned combat and flavor spells, are considered rituals. They do not consume spell slots. Most require DM oversight and such will be denoted in a ritual's description if it does .

Subclass: Oath of Ancients The Oath of the Ancients is as old as the race of elves and the rituals of the druids. Sometimes called fey knights, green knights, or horned knights, paladins who swear this oath cast their lot with the side of the light in the cosmic struggle against darkness because they love the beautiful and life-giving things of the world, not necessarily because they believe in principles of honor, courage, and justice. They adorn their armor and clothing with images of growing things-leaves, antlers, or flowers-to reflect their commitment to preserving life and light in the world. Tenets of Ancients This oath has been preserved for uncounted centuries. It emphasizes the principles of good above any concerns of law or chaos. Kindle the Light. Through your acts of mercy, kindness, and forgiveness, kindle the light of hope in the world, beating back despair. Shelter the Light. Where there is good, beauty, love, and laughter in the world, stand against the wickedness that would swallow it. Where life flourishes, stand against the forces that would render it barren. Preserve your own Light. Delight in song and laughter, in beauty and art. If you allow the light to die in your own heart, you can't preserve it in the world. Be the Light. Be a glorious beacon for all who live in despair. Let the light of your joy and courage shine forth in all your deeds. Bonus Proficiencies Skil ls: Nature Channel Divinity: Nature's Wrath As an action for the cost of 1 Class Resource, you can cause spectral vines to spring up and reach for a creature within 1 tile of you that you can see. The creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained for up to two turns. While restrained by the vines, the creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. Aura of Warding Ancient magic lies so heavily upon you that it forms an eldritch ward. You and friendly creatures within 1 tile of you have resistance to cold, fire, and lightning damage until the end of their turn. Undying Sentinel When you are reduced to 0 hit points and are not killed outright, you can choose to drop to 1 hit point instead. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. Additionally, you suffer none of the drawbacks of old age, and you can't be aged magically.

Additionally, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the spell ends. A creature blinded by this spell makes another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, it is no longer blinded. Subclass: Oath of Conquest The Oath of Conquest calls to paladins who seek glory in battle and the subjugation of their enemies. It isn’t enough for these paladins to establish order. They must crush the forces of chaos. Sometimes called knight tyrants or iron mongers, those who swear this oath gather into grim orders that serve gods or philosophies of war and well-ordered might. Some of these paladins go so far as to consort with the powers of the Nine Hells, valuing the rule of law over the balm of mercy. The archdevil Bel, warlord of Avernus, counts many of these paladins – called hell knights – as his most ardent supporters. Hell knights cover their armor with trophies taken from fallen enemies, a grim warning to any who dare oppose them and the decrees of their lords. These knights are often most fiercely resisted by other paladins of this oath, who believe that the hell knights have wandered too far into darkness. Tenets of Conquest A paladin who takes this oath has the tenets of conquest seared on the upper arm. Douse the Flame of Hope. It is not enough to merely defeat an enemy in battle. Your victory must be so overwhelming that your enemies’ will to fight is shattered forever. A blade can end a life. Fear can end an empire. Rule with an Iron Fist. Once you have conquered, tolerate no dissent. Your word is law. Those who obey it shall be favored. Those who defy it shall be punished as an example to all who might follow. Strength Above All. You shall rule until a stronger one arises. Then you must grow mi ghtier and meet the challenge, or fall to your own ruin. Bonus Proficiencies Skil ls: Intimidation Channel Divinity: Conquering Presence As an action for the cost of 1 Class Resource, you force each creature of your choice that you can see within 3 tiles of you make a Wisdom Saving Throw.

They train diligently and encourage their companions so they’re all ready when destiny calls.

Subclass: Oath of Vengeance The Oath of Vengeance is a solemn commitment to punish those who have committed a grievous sin. When evil forces slaughter helpless villagers, when an entire people turns against the will of the gods, when a thieves’ guild grows too violent and powerful, when a dragon rampages through the countryside — at times like these, paladins arise and swear an Oath of Vengeance to set right that which has gone wrong. To these paladins — sometimes called avengers or dark knights — their own purity is not as important as delivering justice. Tenets of Vengeance The tenets of the Oath of Vengeance vary by paladin, but all the tenets revolve around punishing wrongdoers by any means necessary. Paladins who uphold these tenets are willing to sacrifice even their own righteousness to mete out justice upon those who do evil, so the paladins are often neutral or lawful neutral in alignment. The core principles of the tenets are brutally simple. Fight the Greater Evil. Faced with a choice of fighting my sworn foes or combating a lesser evil, I choose the greater evil. No Mercy for the Wicked. Ordinary foes might win my mercy, but my sworn enemies do not. By Any Means Necessary. My qualms can't get in the way of exterminating my foes. Restitution. If my foes wreak ruin on the world, it is because I failed to stop them. I must help those harmed by their misdeeds.

  • Monk | Halcyon D&D

    Monk Class Features Ascendant Dragon Four Elements Open Hand Shadow Mercy Monk Monks make careful study of a magical energy that most monastic traditions call ki. This energy is an element of the magic that suffuses the multiverse—specifically, the element that flows through living bodies. Monks harness this power within themselves to create magical effects and exceed their bodies’ physical capabilities, and some of their special attacks can hinder the flow of ki in their opponents. Using this energy, monks channel uncanny speed and strength into their unarmed strikes. As they gain experience, their martial training and their mastery of ki gives them more power over their bodies and the bodies of their foes. Some monks live entirely apart from the surrounding population, secluded from anything that might impede their spiritual progress. Others are sworn to isolation, emerging only to serve as spies or assassins at the command of their leader, a noble patron, or some other mortal or divine power. For a monk, becoming an adventurer means leaving a structured, communal lifestyle to become a wanderer. This can be a harsh transition, and monks don’t undertake it lightly. Those who leave their cloisters take their work seriously, approaching their adventures as personal tests of their physical and spiritual growth. As a rule, monks care little for material wealth and are driven by a desire to accomplish a greater mission than merely slaying monsters and plundering their treasure.

Monastic Traditions Traditions of monastic pursuit are common in the monasteries scattered across the multiverse. Most monasteries practice one tradition exclusively, but a few honor multiple traditions and instruct each monk according to his or her aptitude and interest. All traditions rely on the same basic techniques, diverging as the student grows more adept. Choose your monastic tradition (subclass) from the four listed below. These will be unlocked at Level 10 and reach their full potential at Level 12. Subclass: Way of the Ascendant Dragon The fundamental teaching of this tradition holds that by emulating dragons, a monk becomes a more integrated part of the world and its magic. By altering their spirit to resonate with draconic might, monks who follow this tradition augment their prowess in battle, bolster their allies, and can even soar through the air on draconic wings. But all this power is in service of a greater goal: achieving a spiritual unity with the essence of the Material Plane.

When you focus your ki, you can align yourself with the forces of creation and bend the four elements to your will, using them as an extension of your body. Some members of this tradition dedicate themselves to a single element, but others weave the elements together. Many monks of this tradition tattoo their bodies with representations of their ki powers, commonly imagined as coiling dragons, but also as phoenixes, fish, plants, mountains, and cresting waves. Bonus P roficiencies Skills: Nature Disciple of the Elements You learn magical disciplines that harness the power of the four elements. A discipline requires you to spend ki points each time you use it.

These monks might be called ninjas or shadowdancers, and they serve as spies and assassins.

Some might be gentle-voiced healers, beloved by their communities, while others might be masked bringers of macabre mercies.

  • Reborn | Halcyon D&D

    Reborn Basic Traits Racial Traits Reborn Death isn't always the end. The reborn exemplify this, being individuals who have died yet, somehow, still live. Some reborn exhibit the scars of fatal ends with their ashen flesh making it clear that they've been touched by death. Other reborn are marvels of magic or science, being stitched together from disparate beings or bearing mysterious minds in manufactured bodies. Whatever their origins, reborn know a new life and seek experiences and answers all their own. Reborn suffer from some manner of discontinuity, an interruption of their lives or physical state that their minds are ill equipped to deal with. Their memories of events before this interruption are often vague or absent. Occasionally, the most unexpected experiences might cause sensations or vision of the past to come rushing back.

  • Rogue | Halcyon D&D

    Rogue Class Features Arcane Trickster Assassin Phantom Soulknife Swashbuckler Rogue Rogues devote as much effort to mastering the use of a variety of skills as they do to perfecting their combat abilities, giving them a broad expertise that few other characters can match. Many rogues focus on stealth and deception, while others refine the skills that help them in a dungeon environment, such as climbing, finding and disarming traps, and opening locks. When it comes to combat, rogues prioritize cunning over brute strength. A rogue would rather make one precise strike, placing it exactly where the attack will hurt the target most, than wear an opponent down with a barrage of attacks. Rogues have an almost supernatural knack for avoiding danger, and a few learn magical tricks to supplement their other abilities. Every town and city has its share of rogues. Most of them live up to the worst stereotypes of the class, making a living as burglars, assassins, cutpurses, and con artists. Often, these scoundrels are organized into thieves’ guilds or crime families. Plenty of rogues operate independently, but even they sometimes recruit apprentices to help them in their scams and heists. A few rogues make an honest living as locksmiths, investigators, or exterminators. Subclasses Class Features Basics Base Hit Points: 56 Hit Points per Advancement: 14 Actions: 1 Attack, 1 Bonu s, 1 Reaction Casting Attribute: Dexterity Arcane Trickster: Intelligence Starting Kit Dagger Dagger (Off Hand) Leather Armor Thieves' Tools Proficiencies Armor: Light armor Weapons: Simple weapons, Hand Crossbow, Longsword, Rapier, Shortsword Saving Throws: Dexterity, Intelligence Skills: Acrobatics, Investigation, Sleight of Hand, Stealth Proficiency Bonus: Level 8: +2 Level 10: +1 (3) Level 12: +1 (4) Cunning Action Your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You may take the dash or disengage action as a bonus action on your turn. Sneak Attack You know how to exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 5d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if that creature is currently knocked down, you have an ally that has targeted them in the last or current turn within 1 tile, or if the creature has not targeted you at all in the last or current turn. Steady Aim As a bonus action, you give yourself +2 on your next attack roll. You can use this bonus action only if you haven’t moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn. If the attack hits, you are able to use Sneak Attack. Thieves' Cant During your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

Roguish Archetypes Rogues have many features in common, including their emphasis on perfecting their skills, their precise and deadly approach to combat, and their increasingly quick reflexes. But different rogues steer those talents in varying directions, embodied by the rogue archetypes.

(8 + Spell Bonus vs DEX Save) Flavor Spells The following spells are included in the arcane trickster's repertoire, however; these spells cannot be used in combat and do not consume a spell slot. They cannot be used to gain advantage, access a base, or otherwise - they are only to enrich the narrative of your roleplay. For spells that involve affecting another person, they should be treated as social rolls. They are fully consent based and cannot be used to force an outcome in a roleplay scenario. Some are available to a newly created ch aracter (Level 8) and others are unlocked at Level 10. Level 8 Control Flames Dancing Lights Gust Mage Hand Minor Illusion Prestidigitation Illusory Script Dancing Lights Evocation 1 Action V , S, M You create up to four torch-sized lights within range, making them appear as torches, lanterns, or glowing orbs that hover in the air for the duration. You can also combine the four lights into one glowing vaguely humanoid form of Medium size. Whichever form you choose, each light sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the lights up to 60 feet to a new spot within range. A light must be within 20 feet of another light created by this spell, and a light winks out if it exceeds the spell's range. Mage Hand Conjuration 1 Action V, S A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again. You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it. The hand can't attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. Control Flames Transmutation 1 Action S You choose nonmagical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways: You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location. You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube. You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour. You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action. Gust Transmutation 1 Action V, S You seize the air and compel it to create one of the following effects at a point you can see within range: One Medium or smaller creature that you choose must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 5 feet away from you. You create a small blast of air capable of moving one object that is neither held nor carried and that weighs no more than 5 pounds. The object is pushed up to 10 feet away from you. It isn’t pushed with enough force to cause damage. You create a harmless sensory effect using air, such as causing leaves to rustle, wind to slam shutters shut, or your clothing to ripple in a breeze. Minor Illusion Illusion 1 Action S, M You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again. If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. If you create an image of an object--such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest--it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. Prestidigitation Transmutation 1 Action V, S This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range: You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor. You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot. You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour. You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour. You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action. Illusory Script Conjuration 1 Minute S, M You write on parchment, paper, or some other suitable writing material and imbue it with a potent illusion that lasts for the duration. To you and any creatures you designate when you cast the spell, the writing appears normal, written in your hand, and conveys whatever meaning you intended when you wrote the text. To all others, the writing appears as if it were written in an unknown or magical script that is unintelligible. Alternatively, you can cause the writing to appear to be an entirely different message, written in a different hand and language, though the language must be one you know. Should the spell be dispelled, the original script and the illusion both disappear. A creature with truesight can read the hidden message. Subclass: Assassin You focus your training on the grim art of death. Those who adhere to this archetype are diverse: hired killers, spies, bounty hunters, and even specially anointed priests trained to exterminate the enemies of their deity. Stealth, poison, and disguise help you eliminate your foes with deadly efficiency. Bonus P roficiencies Skills: Deception Exterminate In addition to the normal qualifiers to trigger your sneak attack, your training allows you hone in on weakened targets. You may use your sneak attack against targets who are bleeding when you land your attack with a finesse or ranged weapon. Assassinate You are a master at taking advantage of your foe's weakness. When a target is bleeding, you may use your bonus action to immediately cause their Bleed damage and leave them exposed until the end of their next turn. Additionally you gain a +5 bonus to your initiative rolls. And the cooldown on your dagger abilities is always decreased to 2 turns. Imposter You gain the ability to unerringly mimic other people's speech, writing, and behaviors. Your ruse is indiscernible to the casual observer as anything more than another person in the crowd. You gain the ability to use Disguise Self once per long rest. This functions the same as the spell, however it does not have a time limit, remains in combat, and is not magical in nature. If someone, for any reason whatsoever, suspects you for being disguised, they may roll Investigation against your Deception as the DC to learn an illusion is in use. Death Strike Requires Level 12 You become a master of instant death. When you sneak attack and hit a creature, it must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, deal an additional 2d6 damage. Subclass: Phantom Many rogues walk a fine line between life and death, risking their own lives and taking the lives of others. While adventuring on that line, some rogues discover a mystical connection to death itself. These rogues take knowledge from the dead and become immersed in negative energy, eventually becoming like ghosts. Thieves’ guilds value them as highly effective information gatherers and spies. Many shadar-kai of the Shadowfell are masters of these macabre techniques, and some are willing to teach this path. In places like Thay in the Forgotten Realms and Karrnath in Eberron, where many necromancers practice their craft, a Phantom can become a wizard’s confidant and right hand. In temples of gods of death, the Phantom might work as an agent to track down those who try to cheat death and to recover knowledge that might otherwise be lost to the grave. Bonus Proficiencies Skills: Perception Class Resources Level 10: +4 (Tokens of the Departed) Wails from the Grave As you nudge someone closer to the grave, you can channel the power of death to harm someone else as well. Immediately after you deal Sneak Attack damage to a creature on your turn, you can spend 1 CR to target a second creature that you can see within 4 tiles of the first, then deal half of your sneak attack damage in necrotic damage to them aswell. Token of the Departed When a life waivers in your presence you’re able to snatch a token from the wounded soul, a sliver of its life essence that takes physical form. As a reaction you open your free hand and cause a tiny trinket to appear there, a soul trinket. You may only collect a soul trinket from a creature once per day. And you may only carry up to 4 of these at a time. For each soul trinket you currently possess, you gain +3 max HP. Destroy Token of the Departed Destroy one of your Tokens of the Departed to regain a class resource. Ghost Walk Requires Level 12 As a bonus action, you assume a spectral form. While in this form, your movement speed becomes fly speed and increases by 1 tile. Your AC is increased by 2, and you may pass through walls and solid objects on t he first turn this ability is activated. Usable once per long rest. Dispelled by Ghostslayer Sundering. Death Knell R equires Level 12 Your association with death has become so close, that you gain the ability to cause additional 5d6/2 necrotic damage to the original target of your sneak attack immediately after using it. Subclass: Soulknife Most assassins strike with physical weapons, and many burglars and spies use thieves’ tools to infiltrate secure locations. In contrast, a Soulknife strikes and infiltrates with the mind, cutting through barriers both physical and psychic. These rogues discover psionic power within themselves and channel it to do their roguish work. They find easy employment as members of thieves’ guilds, though they are often mistrusted by rogues who are leery of anyone using strange mind powers to conduct their business. Most governments would also be happy to employ a Soulknife as a spy. Bonus P roficiencies Skills: Insight Class Resources: Level 10: +4 Level 12: +2 (6) Psychic Blades You can manifest your psionic power as shimmering blades of psychic energy. If your mainhand is free, you can manifest a psychic blade and make an attack with that blade. This magic blade is a simple melee weapon with the finesse and thrown properties. It has a range of 4 tiles, and on a hit, it deals psychic damage equal to 1d6+dex. The blade vanishes immediately after it hits or misses its target, and it leaves no mark on its target. After you attack with the blade, you can make a melee or ranged weapon attack with a second psychic blade as a bonus action on the same turn, provided your off hand is also free to create it, also being 1d6+dex. Homing Strikes As a bonus action and for 1 class resource, make an attack roll with your Psychic Blades against a taret and add + INT to the number rolled to it. If the attack misses you are refunded that class resource. Allows Sneak Attack on hit. Psychic Teleportation As a bonus action for 1 class resource, you manifest one of your Psychic Blades and throw it at an unoccupied space you can see within 3 tiles. You then teleport to that space. Psychic Veil Requires Level 12 As an action, you can magically become invisible, along with anything you are wearing or carrying, for the duration of combat or until you dismiss this effect (no action required). This invisibility ends early immediately after you deal damage to a creature, or you force a creature to make a saving throw. Usable once per long rest. Rend Mind Requires Level 12 As a bonus action, you sweep your Psychic Blades directly through a creature’s mind. When you deal Sneak Attack damage to a creature you can force that target to make a Wisdom Saving throw for 3 class resource. If the save fails, the target is stunned until the end of their next turn. Can only be done once per target, per combat. (8 + Proficiency Bonus + INT vs WIS Save) Subclass: Swashbuckler You focus your training on the art of the blade, relying on speed, elegance, and charm in equal parts. While some warriors are brutes clad in heavy armor, your method of fighting looks almost like a performance. Duelists and pirates typically belong to this archetype. A Swashbuckler excels in single combat, and can fight with two weapons while safely darting away from an opponent. Bonus P roficiencie s Skills: Athletics Master Dualist: Level 12: +4 Rakish Audacity When rolling initiative, your charisma bonus will be added to the total. You also gain an additional way to use your Sneak Attack; you may use it on any target you strike aslong as no other enemies are within' 1 tile of you.

  • Kobold | Halcyon D&D

    Kobold Basic Traits Racial Traits Kobold Some of the smallest draconic creatures in the multiverse, kobolds display their draconic ancestry in the glint of their scales and in their roars. Legends tell of the first kobolds emerging from the Underdark near the lairs of the earliest dragons. In some lands, kobolds serve chromatic or metallic dragons—even worshiping them as divine beings. In other places, kobolds know too well how dangerous those dragons can be and help others defend against draconic destruction. Whatever their relationship to dragons, kobold scales tend to be rust colored, although the occasional kobold sports a scale color more akin to that of a chromatic or a metallic dragon. A kobold’s cry can express a range of emotion: anger, resolve, elation, fear, and more. Regardless of the emotion expressed, their cry resonates with draconic power.
