Order of The Cursed Bloodline

Boons and Curses.

————————————

When you choose this order at 3rd level, you roll one hit dice and add that roll to your HP maximum permanently. You are also unable to be healed through magical means (potions, spells, class features, etc). This effect is also permanent.

Hot Blooded.

————————————

Also at 3rd level, your injuries gain the power to boost you in combat. When you reach a “bloodied” state (less than half of your health point maximum), you may add your proficiency bonus to every successful attack made against an enemy that you can see. The attack must be made with a weapon you have proficiency in to gain this bonus.

Mage’s Bane.

————————————

At 7th level, the magic in your blood makes the spells of your enemies less effective against you. When a creature within 60ft of you makes a spell attack against you, you may use your reaction to increase your AC an amount equal to your intelligence modifier, possibly avoiding the attack. You do this before the DM declares whether or not the attack hits. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all expended uses after a long rest.

Hex-Blood.

———————————

At 11th level, your blood becomes a powerful offensive tool. As an action, you may cut yourself open and use your blood to form a weapon that you have proficiency with. This weapon may be long ranged or short ranged. In either case, the damage die is equal to your Hemocraft die. The damage of this weapon counts as magical for purposes of overcoming resistances to non-magical damage types.

Hemo-bonus

————————————

At 15th level, you’ve gained considerable control over the magic inside your blood. When you reach a “bloodied” state (less then half your health point maximum) you may now summon your Hex-Blood weapon as a bonus action instead of an action if it is not already equipped. Alternatively, you may also use your bonus action to activate your Mage’s Bane feature without first being attacked. If you do, The AC bonus will last for 1 round before disappearing, and you may not use this feature in this way again until your next long rest.

Blood Contact.

————————————

At 18th level, sharing your blood can make for a dangerous game. When an enemy you can see within of you 10ft of you makes a successful attack against you that does either piercing or slashing damage, you can inflict one blood curse you know onto them as a reaction. If you choose to use this feature, you take extra damage from their attack equal to your half your intelligence modifier. You may only use this feature once per long rest.

Ashen Soul

——————————————————————

Prerequisites: You must be of an evil alignment to choose this subclass.

Your patron is Conquest, the Horseman of Greed. A dominating force of humanity’s nature that seeks to own all it touches, heralded by smoke and ruin. Such a force does not take choosing his servants lightly. You must be strong, physically and mentally. Ruthless and dangerous and willing to fan the flames of greed and corruption wherever you see it. You must be special, in your own horrible way.

——————————————————————-

Expanded Spell List

———————————-

The Ashen Soul lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

1st — Unseen Servant, Burning Hands

2nd — Magic Weapon, Scorching Ray

3rd — Antagonize, Fear

4th — Lightning Bolt, Fireball

5th — Immolation, Dominate Person

Conquering Might

————————————-

Starting at 1st level, You gain proficiency with martial weapons.

Also at 1st level, you gain the ability to use your magic to increase the effectiveness of your attacks. When you make a melee weapon attack with a weapon you have proficiency with, you can expend a spell slot to count this attack as a spell attack. You do this before you roll to hit an enemy, but after you have declared an attack. You may add your spell attack bonus to your attack roll and your weapon deals an extra amount of damage equal to your charisma modifier. Your damage with this weapon also counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances to non-magical damage types. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses after a long or short rest

Surrender and Submit

————————————-

Your patron has taught you ways to subdue your enemies and steel yourself against fear. At 6th level, you gain proficiency with Charisma (intimidation) skill checks and have advantage on rolls against being frightened or charmed.

Survival of The Fittest

————————————-

At 14th level, you have become very good at sniffing out weaknesses in your opponents. Once per day, you may force a creature you can see within 120ft of you that you have landed a successful hit on to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a fail, the DM must divulge one damage type weakness suffered by said creature of their choosing to you. In the event that a creature does not have any specific weakness to a type of damage, you are allowed to apply one to that creature. The damage type weakness must match that of the weapon you are currently wielding (ex: If you are wielding a sword with slashing damage, the weakness will be to slashing damage). This weakness lasts until the start of your next turn or until the creature is incapacitated.

[evangelines-garden]

Insatiable Soul

——————————————————————

Prerequisite: You must be of an evil alignment to choose this subclass.

Of all the Gods and Goddesses in Terra, you have chosen to follow Famine. The Horseman of Hunger, heralded by blistering heat and the pang of an empty stomach. It takes quite a bit to catch his ravenous eye without invoking his insatiable hunger. To walk the path of evil by his side. You must be quite special, in your own horrible way.

——————————————————————

Expanded Spell List

————————————-

The Insatiable Soul lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

1st — Tasha’s Hideous Laughter, Tasha’s Caustic Brew

2nd — Magic Mouth, Crown of Madness

3rd — Hunger of Hadar, Incite Greed

4th — Compulsion, Confusion

5th — Cloudkill, Bigby’s Hand

Endless Maw

———————————————

Starting at level 1, you magically gain an extra mouth on a body part of your choosing. (Ex, over an eye, on your torso, palm of your hand, etc). This mouth is always visible on your body, save for when it is covered by clothes, and must be fed at least 3 times a day. You will take 1d4 + your constitution modifier poison damage (regardless of any immunities or resistances to said damage type) for every hour past its regular mealtime. You will also be afflicted with the Poisoned condition, regardless of condition immunities you may have.

The voice that emanates from your extra mouth is your own, and cannot be changed outside of magical means.

When casting spells requiring verbal components, you choose which mouth is speaking. If your extra mouth is casting, you gain the following benefits:

• You have advantage on checks made to maintain concentration on spells.

• You may concentrate on more than one spell at a time, with a total max of 2.

• You may add your proficiency bonus when you roll to hit with a ranged spell attack. You may do this once per long or short rest.

• If you have 2 concentration spells active at once, you get to choose which spell is broken in the event of a failed concentration save. You do this directly after the DM declares your save has failed.

You may not cast ritual spells or cantrips using your extra mouth.

Biting Hunger

——————————————————————

By 6th level, you have much more precision control over your extra mouth. Whilst not casting, your mouth is capable of biting your enemies in an unarmed melee attack. This bite does 1d4 + your charisma modifier of piercing damage. These attacks count as magical only for the purpose of overcoming resistance to non-magical damage types.

Also at 6th level, the dice type for neglecting your extra mouth increases to 1d6 + your constitution modifier.

Ravenous Gift

————————————————————————

By 14th level, your extra mouth allows for a level of magical versatility yet unseen. You may negate the use of physical spell components (such as honeycomb or gold. Not verbal or somatic.) for one spell once per day given that your extra mouth has previously consumed said components within the last 24 hours. You may not use this for ritually casted spells or cantrips.

Also at 14th level, the dice type for neglecting your extra mouth goes up to 1d10 + your constitution modifier.

The Borrowers

———————————————

The Borrowers are a proud race of tiny humanoids that have almost been hunted to extinction by their much larger counterparts— The Human Race (often because they’ve been mistaken for fairies or pixies). No one knows where the borrowers came from, as it’s a dangerous world for a people so tiny, and it’s not uncommon for borrowers to go missing. Especially those who are sick, elderly, or just plain slow. What is known about the borrowers is their rather infamous kleptomania that causes them to steal from the larger races of the world. Or, as they might put it, borrow.

———————————————

Ability Score Increase — When determining your character’s ability score, increase one score by 2 or three different scores by 1. You can’t raise any of your scores above 20 using this feature.

Creature Type — You are a humanoid.

Size — You are Tiny.

Speed — Your walking speed is 15ft.

Alignment — Borrowers tend to lean towards neutral alignments, swinging either way on the scale of good or evil. Those who live indoors tend to be more lawful than those who’ve spent their lives braving the harshness of the wilds.

Dexterous Climber — Your small size has required you to become a proficient athlete to get where you need to go. You gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed.

Proficient Thief — Borrowers have learned the art of getting in to and out of place as quickly and quietly as possible. You have advantage on skill checks using Dexterity (Stealth) or Dexterity (Sleight of Hand).

Fear of Heights — Being so little isn’t all fun and games. When calculating damage taken specifically by falling, you double the amount rolled.

Small Advantages — Creatures larger than you roll at disadvantage when trying to grapple you. You may also share the same space as any creature larger than yourself.

Darkvision — You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.

Languages — You speak common and one other language determined appropriate by you and your DM.

Yo-Yo

Improvised Weapon. (Melee)

A whimsical children’s toy turned into a deadly (and, admittedly, quite strange) weapon of mass funishment!

————————————————————————

Category: Item

Cost: 3 gp.

Damage: 1d6.

Damage Type: Bludgeoning.

Item rarity: None.

Properties: Thrown (range: 10ft), Reach, Light, Special.

————————————————————————

Thrown:

If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the dagger has the finesse property.

Reach:

This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it, as well as when determining your reach for opportunity attacks with it.

Light:

A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons.

————————————————————————

Special:

If you have proficiency in Yo-Yo’s specifically (proficiency with improvised weapons does not count) you may choose one from the following list of Yo-Yo Tricks:

The Pinwheel - You spin your Yo-Yo deftly in a fan-like circular motion, creating a small gust of wind!Choose one creature within 5ft of you that you can see. If that creature is your size or smaller, they must make a dexterity saving throw equal to 10 + your strength modifier or be pushed back 10ft.

The Breakaway - You throw your Yo-Yo at a creature in front of you, attempting to catch them by surprise. Make a ranged melee attack against one creature you can see within 10ft of you that is holding a melee weapon. On a successful hit, you deal them 1d6 + your proficiency bonus amount of bludgeoning damage as well disarm them. The weapon flies in a random direction for an amount of feet equal to your dexterity modifier.

Walk The Dog - You roll your yo-yo across the ground in a controlled manner, impressing those around you immensely! While performing a skill check that requires charisma, you may preform this trick prior to the roll. If you choose to do so, add +3 to your skill check. You may not use this feature again until your next long or short rest, nor can you use this trick in the presence of a sentient creature with the Noble background. You also cannot have a noble background in order to learn this trick.

The Grappling Hook - You throw your yo-yo upwards and wrap it around a nearby object, allowing you to make a quick escape! As a reaction, when a creature you can see makes an attack roll against you, you may make an athletics check with a DC set by the DM. You make this roll before the attacking creature rolls to hit. On a success, you avoid one incoming attack by lifting yourself straight up into the air on your Yo-Yo. You may take one willing creature with you when using this reaction, and land back where you previously were at the start of your next turn. You can only use this trick once per short rest.

————————————————————————

Whenever you level up, you may replace one known trick with another, though you may only know one Yo-Yo trick at a time unless your DM says otherwise.

Construct Magic Sorcerer

Prerequisite: To use this sorcerer’s origin, your creature type cannot be humanoid. You must be a construct, elemental, undead, etc.

——————————————————————

Construct Magic Sorcerers are creatures who get their magical power from within. Not because they were born of magic, but because they are made with it. Perhaps you are a former Warlock’s familiar, given to them on high by some dark god, or maybe you are a corpse awakened by a necromancer with no memory of who your body used to be. Or perhaps you are simply the result of a wizard’s spell gone awry. No matter where you came from, you are magic itself given form, and the spells you cast come from the energy your body is made of.

——————————————————————

Constitutes of Energy

Your magic is everything you are. Starting at level 1 when you choose this sorcerous origin, your spellcasting ability becomes Constitution instead of Charisma. Furthermore, your constitution score is increased by 2. It cannot be increased over 20 using this feature.

Shifting Construct

Also at level 1, you gain the ability to change your physical form using your innate magical abilities. Choose one of the following:

Form of Mist: As a bonus action, you may spend 2 sorcery points to transform into a cloud of mist on your turn. While in this state you have a fly speed of 60ft, can use Dash as a bonus action, and you may occupy the same space as another creature if you wish. You may not take attack actions, cast/concentrate on spells, or interact with objects in this state, though you also cannot be targeted by melee or spell attacks. You may not use this feature if you are grappled/your movement is currently 0.

Form of Stone: As a bonus action, you may spend 2 sorcery points to transform into a stone statue on your turn. While in this state, you gain resistances to bludgeoning, slashing, piercing damage, and poison damage. You have advantage on all ability checks/saving throws that involve strength while in this form and you may add your constitution modifier to your AC until you come out of it. Your movement also becomes 20ft and you may not take the dash action.

Form of Swarm: As a bonus action, you may spend 2 sorcery points to transform into a swarm of small insects (ex: locusts, flies, mosquitoes, etc) on your turn. Your swarm size is equal to 5 times your constitution modifier and you gain a fly speed of 30ft. You may occupy the same space as another creature if you wish, in which case it automatically counts as a ranged melee attack (1d4 + your constitution modifier damage). You may interact with objects while in this form, but you cannot cast/concentrate on spells. Furthermore, you may separate your swarm into two equal groups, allowing you to be in two places at once. Both swarms move/attack/act on your turn, however, you may not come out of this form until your swarm has reconstituted with itself.

Form of Fire: As a bonus action, you may spend 2 sorcery points to transform into a roaring fire on your turn. You gain resistance to all non-magical damage types except for Cold, for which you are immune. Furthermore, your body radiates an aura that does 1d8 + your constitution modifier of fire damage to all creatures hostile to you in a 60ft radius at the start of each of your turns. While you cannot concentrate on spells in this form, you may make spell attacks so long as they do fire damage. While in this state, however, your speed is 0.

Form of Water: As a bonus action, you may spend 2 sorcery points to transform into a small stream of water on your turn. Your speed increases 5 and you may take the dodge action as a bonus action. You also gain the ability to heal your allies when necessary. You have a pool of d6s that you spend to fuel this healing. The number of dice in the pool equals 1 + your sorcerer level. The chosen creature you are healing must be within 25ft of you and you regain all expended dice in this pool after a long rest. You may not use this pool to heal yourself.

In order to transform out of your constructed form and return to your regular body, you must use another bonus action on your turn.

Reactive Instincts

You’ve become even more adept with your shape changing abilities. At level 6, on a successful attack made against you, you may use your reaction to transform into your Shifting Construct form (you must still spend the sorcery points necessary to transform). The damage you take from said attack becomes 0, and you stay in this form until the start of your next turn, where you may decide whether you transform back or not. You may use this feature only once per long or short rest.

Evolving Construct

You have so thoroughly mastered your constructed abilities that they begin to bleed into your regular form. At level 14, you gain new abilities based on which Shifting Construct form you chose at level 1. Choose one of the following:

Evolving Mist: (Prequistite: Must have Shifting Construct - Form of Mist) You gain a permanent fly speed of 60ft regardless of what form you’re in. You can no longer be charmed or frightened while in the Form of Mist. Additionally, before transforming into your misty form, you may choose one willing creature within 10ft of you and turn them into mist as well. This creature gains all the benefits of Form of Mist while within 10ft of you, and reconstitutes at the end of their next turn if they are ever more than 10ft from you. They may also use an action to reconstitute to their normal form on their turn if they wish.

Evolving Stone: (Prerequisite: Must have Shifting Construct - Form of Stone) You gain permanent proficiency with Strength saving throws/ability checks regardless of what form you’re in. Additionally, you also gain three charges of the spell Absorb Elements whilst in your stone form. You know this spell innately and it does not count against your spells known. You regain all expended charges of Absorb Elements when you finish a long or short rest.

Evolving Swarm: (Prerequisite: Must have Shifting Construct - Form of Swarm) You become immune to taking fall damage. Additionally, while in your swarm form, the automatic damage you do while in the same space as another creature increases to 2d4 + your constitution modifier. Your swarm size also increases, becoming 10 times your constitution modifier. Enemies cannot take opportunity attacks against you while you are in your swarm form.

Evolving Fire: (Prerequisite: Must have Shifting Construct - Form of Fire) You gain permanent resistance to fire damage regardless of what form you’re in. Additionally, your speed whilst in your Fire form increases to 15ft, and you burn everything in your path whilst you move. Any creatures within 5ft of you while you move must make a dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take 1d4 Fire damage as you pass by. This includes non-hostile creatures/allies. Your aura increases its damage to 1d12 + your constitution modifier.

Evolving Water: (Prerequisite: Must have Shifting Construct - Form of water) You may take the dodge action as a bonus action regardless of what form you’re in. Additionally, while in your water form, you gain three charges of the spell Ice Knife. You know this spell innately and it does not count against your spells known. You regain all expended charges after a long or short rest. Your healing pool’s dice type also increases from d6s to d8s.

The amount of sorcery points you use to transform into your Shifting Construct form doubles at this level as well if you take this feature.

Ever-Shifting Construct (Optional)

Instead of taking the Evolving Construct feature at level 14, you may take this feature instead. You gain none of the benefits or abilities from Evolving Construct if you do.You may choose 1 additional form from Shifting Construct.

Constructed Control

At level 18, your mastery over the physical form can extend far outside yourself. Once per day, you may make a spell attack against one humanoid creature with 120ft of you that you can see that has half their hit points or less. On a successful attack against that creature, you may spend 10 sorcery points and turn them into an inanimate object. What kind of object is up to the DM’s discretion/rolled on the table of trinkets. The turned creature cannot make attacks, either melee or spell, cannot move, and cannot take any actions outside of a Wisdom saving throw to undo their transformation at the end of their turn. They lose all concentration on any spells they had cast and automatically lose any checks/saving throws required of them outside of the aforementioned wisdom saving throw. their HP/AC remain the same as they were the moment they were turned. A creature turned this way cannot be affected by an Animate Objects spell and is entirely aware of their surroundings the entire time they are turned.

[evangelines-garden]

MYCELIANS

————————————

Born of feywilde magics, Mycelians are the descendants of the humble mushroom. They act as the connecting force between life and death, just like mushrooms themselves. Harbingers of rot, decomposition, and the dying. Not death, but dying. Despite this lofty burden placed upon their shoulders, Mycelians are a peaceful, humble people. At least, most of them are….

———

RACE TRAITS:

Ability Score Increase — Your Constitution score increases by 2.

Fey Ancestory — You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed and magic cannot put you to sleep.

Creatures Type — You are a fey.

Fungal Connection — You have a short range (10ft) telepathy that can surpass all language barriers, which you use for communication. You cannot read, speak, or write any languages, including common.

Alignment — Mycelians tend to lean towards neutral alignments. (Neutral good, neutral evil, true neutral, etc.)

SUBRACES:

Symbiotic Mycelian

—

Symbiotic Mycelians are the most direct descendants of their ancestors. They come from deep beneath the earth— a network of spores and tendrils that buried so far it reached the Underdark. They were given life by the touch of the Unseelie Court’s Queen, and now their spores wander the realms of earth and fae, across planes and galaxies, claiming the bodies of all those they come into contact with.

—

Symbiotic Inhabitant — You have the ability to take over the mind and body of other sapient, humanoid creatures. You gain the size, speed, age, and appearance of one humanoid race of your choosing. You do not gain any other abilities from this race, such as ability score improvements or features specific to that race.

Fungal Magic — You know and can cast the spell Friends at the 1st level. When you reach 4th level, you also get Charm Person.

Life After Death — Death struggles to wrap its icy claws around you, even when your body succumbs to it. Upon reaching 0 HP, instead of making death saving throws, you can choose to let go of your current host by releasing a cloud of noxious spores into the air. The spore cloud reaches a maximum area of (Half your movement + 5). You may choose one humanoid target within the cloud’s range and infect them. The host must roll a wisdom saving throw to resist the infection (DC is equal to your wisdom modifier +10) and upon failing, they become your new host. The cloud will remain in the air for a maximum of 24 hours before disappearing naturally, upon which you will be considered fully dead if you have not chosen a host. Once you choose to use this feature, your original host will be considered fully dead as well, and you cannot choose them as your host again. You may use this feature only once per day.

Toadstool Mycelian

—

Toadstool mycelians, despite being the furtherest from their fungal ancestors, are the ones who look the most like them. Toadstools are mushrooms given a humanoid form and touched by the light of the Seelie fae. They live solitary lives, or group in small villages in the fae realm, rarely ever wandering far. It is rare to see a Toadstool Mycelian, especially in comparison to their Unseelie counterparts. However there are a few who do wander beyond the bounds of their small villages and towns, meandering across the many planes, searching for adventure….

—

Age — Toadstool Mycelians are born from the earth fully matured, and live for up to 5 centuries.

Size — Toadstools do not vary widely in height or build, standing between 3-4 feet tall. Your size is small.

Speed — Your base walking speed is 25.

Mycelian Resistance — You have resistance to poison damage.

Fungal Magic — You know and can cast the spell Goodberry. By 4th level, you gain the spell Wither and Bloom.

Poison Touch — Your ancestors are known for their poisonous abilities, of which you have inherited. As an action, you may touch a creature within range of you and deal them 1d4 of poison damage once per turn.
