Barbarian Path: Pit Fighter
Some barbarians begin their lives in slavery, kept in cages and forced to channel their rage and bloodlust for the sport and entertainment of others. For these captive warriors, there’s no choice but to walk the Path of the Pit Fighter.
Although raised outside of the wilderness that would have been their home, barbarians of the Path of the Pit Fighter are far from civilized. Even after they’ve broken the chains that held them, pit fighters struggle to contain the brutality and cruelty that served them while in the pits. Molded and honed by years of competition killing, some spend their entire lives fighting against their natural instincts and ferocity, while others enthusiastically give in to their savage urges.
Pit Trained
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you may select one of the following fighting styles as your specialty.
You can’t take the same fighting style option more than once, even if you get to choose again.
- Great Weapon Fighting When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
- Skirmisher When you are wearing light armor or no armor, you can Disengage as a bonus action following a successful melee attack.
- Trident and Net When you are wielding a trident in one hand and a net in the other, you do not have disadvantage on attack rolls made with the net. Additionally, after you make a successful attack with a net, you may make a bonus attack with your trident.
- Two-Weapon Fighting When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Belligerent Savagery
Beginning at 6th level, if a creature you’re attacking reduces the damage that you deal in any way, you may use your reaction to make an additional melee attack against that creature.
Grisly Flourish
At 10th level, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points while raging, choose one other creature that you can see within 30 feet. If that creature can see you, you can make a Charisma (Intimidation) check contested by the target’s Wisdom (Insight) check. If you succeed, you gain advantage on your next attack roll against that creature and it has disadvantage on its next attack roll against you. You can use this ability only once per rage.
Bloody Finale
Starting at 14th level, while raging, if the damage you deal to the first creature you hit on your turn reduces that creature’s hit points to 0, you may deal additional damage equal to half of that total to all other creatures within 5ft of you. You can use this ability only once per rest.
Circle of the Kahin
Certain druids develop a particular relationship with the guardian spirits of nature. Holders of secular shamanic traditions, such druids can call upon these powerful allies, though only under certain conditions. Usually enigmatic, sometimes troubling, members of the Circle of the Kahin are respected and feared by those able to see in the beings who can communicate with the dangerous spirit world.
The world of the primal spirits is a dreamlike, wondrous, wild territory of an intense, uncanny beauty: normally tiny plants can be found here in hugely increased size, and the movements of animals leave in the air a ghostly, slow-moving afterimage that disappears long after their passage…
Totem Animal
When you choose this circle at 2nd level, choose a totem animal that will act as your guide and protector in the spirit world.
The chosen animal must follow the limitations indicated in the Beast Shapes table of the Wild Shape feature. At 4th and 8th level, if you wish, you can change your totem animal for another one matching the new limitations of the Beast Shapes table. However, your GM may require you to justify this replacement with a deep change from your druid, typically taking the form of a downtime activity (see the Adventuring chapter: Between Adventures).
You can communicate with specimens of your totem animal as if you were under a speak with animals spell, and they behave toward you as if they were under the animal friendship spell.
Additionally, when you use Wild Shape to change into your totem animal, your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 4 (change the animal’s stat block accordingly).
Mystical Trance
Starting at 2nd level, you can contact the spirits of nature and call upon their help with prayers and ceremonies involving the consumption of specific plants. When you reach the levels listed below, you gain access to the corresponding spells, but only as rituals, even if the spell in question does not have the ritual tag. Additionally, after you cast a spell using this class feature, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again-it would be unwise to request the spirits’ help too frequently.
| Druid Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 2nd | alarm, purify food and drink |
| 4th | lesser restoration |
| 6th | remove curse, speak with dead |
| 8th | divination |
| 10th | greater restoration |
Strong Mind
Beginning at 6th level, your frequent contacts with the spirit world have gifted you with uncommon mental fortitude. You have resistance to psychic damage and advantage on saving throws against madness, being charmed or frightened, and any effect to dominate, possess, or trouble your mind (like the confusion spell or a gibbering mouther’s gibbering).
Evil Eye
Starting at 10th level, you can summon the power of the spirits and curse your enemies.
As an action, you can curse a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The effect is the same as a bestow curse spell. You can use this feature in Wild Shape, provided the shape is that of your totem animal. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Spirit Call
Beginning at 14th level, as an action, you can call upon the guardian spirits of nature. Ghostly animal shapes flit around you and protect you as long as you maintain your concentration, for a maximum of 1 minute, with the following effects:
- The swarm of animal spirits surrounding you gives you half cover (+2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws).
- Bolstered by the spirits, you run as fast as a wolf and fly like a raptor. Your walking speed becomes 40 feet and you acquire a flying speed of 60 feet. If your normal speed is higher than either of the two, you keep the higher one.
- When another creature damages you with a melee attack, it suffers the spirits’ vengeance, taking psychic damage equal to 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.
Monk Tradition: Mystic of Nog
Not to be confused with groups who exercise intense meditation methods, Mystics of Nog are devotees of an ancient tradition that allows them to channel magic energies to augment their physical forms. No mere ascetics, Mystics of Nog are fearsome warriors in their own right.
Minor Alteration
Starting at 3rd level, when you choose this tradition, you gain three additional ki features:
Hammerblow
You may spend 1 ki point as part of your action to deal double damage to any object you strike. This feature also allows you to bypass an object's damage threshold if that threshold is equal to one-half of your monk level or less.
Silent Walk
You may use your reaction to spend 1 ki point and muffle the sound of your footfalls. You have advantage on Stealth checks for a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Sudden Speed
When you move, you may spend 1 ki point to double your movement rate until the beginning of your next turn.
Boost Attribute
Beginning at 6th level, you may use your ki points to temporarily boost your physical prowess. You can use your reaction to increase your Strenght, Dexterity, or Constitution score according to the table below.
This increase lasts for a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom modifier, at which point you gain one level of Exhaustion for each point by which you boosted your attribute. These exhaustion levels remain until you finish a short or long rest.
Once you use this ability, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Mystic of Nog Table
| Ki Points Spent |
Boost |
| 1 | +1 |
| 3 | +2 |
| 6 | +3 |
| 10 | +4 |
Fast Healing
Beginning at 11th level, you can spend ki points to increase the speed at which your body heals. As an action, you can spend 6 ki points to roll one or more Hit Dice, up to 1/3 of your your maximum Hit Dice, rounded down.
For each Hit Dice spent in this way, roll the die and add your Constitution modifier to it. You regain hit points equal to the total, minimum of 1 per Hit Die spent.
You cannot exceed your maximum Hit Points using this ability. Any Hit Dice you use in this manner are not available the next time you take a short rest and return normally the next time you take a long rest.
Hands of Stone
At 17th level, you have mastered the art of dealing damage with your body. When you make an unarmed attack, you can spend 3 ki points to change your unarmed attacks to cold iron, silver, adamantine, magic, or any other material needed to bypass resistance. This effect lasts for a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Additionally, whenever you deal damage with an unarmed attack you deal additional damage equal to half your Wisdom modifier.
Sorcerous Origin: Elemental Essence
Your innate magic arises from elemental power suffused into your being. You might have an elemental creature, such as genie, in your ancestry. Perhaps you lived most of your life near a portal to one of the Elemental Planes, and the ambient magic of the plane saturated everything you ate and drank. Perhaps a magical conjuring went awry, and the essence of an elemental merged with your own. Whatever the ultimate source, you are a walking conduit to an elemental plane.
Elemental Heritage
At 1st level, choose one element from the Elemental Heritage table. You can speak, read, and write the language associated with your heritage, and its damage type is used by features you gain later.

| Earth | Terran | Acid |
| Fire | Ignan | Fire |
| Water | Aquan | Cold |

Infuse Elements
Starting at 6th level, you gain resistance to the damage type associated with your heritage. Additionally, when you damage a creature with a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to lace it with the power of your heritage element. The spell takes on a visual cast that reflects the elemental infusion (fire and embers dance in the area, wind swirls around a bolt of energy, etc.) and inflicts the following additional effects depending on your heritage:
Jaunt
At 14th level, you can teleport by skimming the outer boundary of the Elemental Planes. As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. When you appear, you can, depending on your heritage element, create the following effects:
Elemental Soul

Wizards
Two types of wizards are common in the Land of Fate: elemental mages and magicians. Magicians are more common than elemental mages, however. The elemental mage specializes in one elemental province, while the magician casts spells from two provinces.
Few magic users are trusted in Zakhara, but elemental mages are given wide berth because it is believed they are members of secret wizardly societies. This image is largely due to the Brotherhood of True Flame, a confraternity of fire mages who openly proclaim flame magic to be the best path of magic. Most enlightened folk view Brotherhood members as arrogant and manipulative, which is often true. Many members of the Brotherhood are overtly cruel and condescending, both to common folk and to spellcasters who do not focus on the flame province.
Wizards begin at 1st level able to select spells from any province. Spells selected at this time are known to the wizard throughout their career and are not impacted by province requirements imposed by any of the subclasses.
ProvincesA province of arcane magic is similar to a divine domain. It is a collection of loosely associated spells that emphasize a particular mindset. Flame Mages are direct and confrontational. Sand Mages are stoic but ever-shifting. Sea Mages are deceptive and coy. Wind Mages are aloof and tempestuous. These are merely generalizations; simply opinions held by the general public about the personalities of these often mysterious practitioners of magic. Feel free to break the mold, be a kind and caring Flame Mage or a steadfast Wind Mage. |
Flame Mage
The flame province appeals to those who seek power or have an appetite for destruction; some flame mages are manipulative while others are violent. The flame province also appeals to those seeking purity and redemption. Flame spells tend to be destructive, a trait that appeals to most flame mages. Though not all flame mages are members of the Brotherhood of True Flame, those that are not must be careful if they wish to escape the Brotherhood’s notice.

Flame Attunement
Starting at 2nd level, you add one extra first-level spell from the flame province to your spellbook and whenever you have at least two flame spells prepared you can prepare a bonus flame spell of a level you can cast. You cannot learn spells of the sand, sea, or wind provinces.

your proficiency bonus to attacks made with alchemist’s fire, torches, and other improvised weapons

Whenever you add your proficiency bonus to checks related to fire, fire creatures, or the
elemental plane of fire, you can add double your proficiency bonus.

If the spell could normally target multiple creatures (e.g. charm person cast using a second level slot, sleep, thunderwave, etc.), you may choose one of the following benefits before the spell is cast which only applies to the spell in question:
• You gain advantage on one spell attack roll
• Your spell save DC increases by 2

Not all sea mages dwell near the sea or come from families of sailors or pearl divers, but most have strong ties to the sea in their past.
