Skills

Traits and skills that increase the efficacy and efficiency in combat. Whenever a skill refers to a save, the DC is calculated as 8 + your proficiency bonus + the attribute you use for the weapon.

When do I get combat skills?

You will get skill points to spend on combat skills mostly from you character choice.

Spending skill points

Unless otherwise noted, each skill costs 1 skill point. To buy a skill you must know the skill right above it in the “skill tree”. You can save skill points, and are allowed to spend them at a later time, after finishing a long rest.

Skill list

Weapons are divided into groups with common properties. For each group you have a rank which decides what traits you have access to. You need to have at least one trait in a rank to be able to choose a trait of a higher rank. If a trait has the same name as one in the previous rank, that trait is a prerequisite.

The following traits are included in all weapon groups.

  • Rank 1 - Simple Weapon Proficiency. Includes all Simple weapons in group
  • Rank 2 - Martial Weapon Proficiency. Includes all Martial weapons in group
  • Rank 3 - Weapon Master. You may reroll an attack with a weapon in this group. Use resets after a long rest.
  • Rank 4 - Weapon Master II. The use of weapon master is reset every time you crit.

Fencing Sword

Melee

All weapons in this group are martial light finesse blades that reward accuracy as much as force. Pinpoint attacks, lunges, and agile defenses are the strong points of these weapons.

Rank 3
  • Defensive Posture. After using the Attack action with this weapon, you can spend a bonus action to bolster your defense. When you do, choose to either gain +1 to your AC, or lower the damage of one (1) attack that hits you by 1d6. Both effects last until the start of your next turn.
  • Defensive Slash. When you take the dodge action, you may use your bonus action to make a single melee attack at disadvantage.

Kobold Dragonfolk
Kobold Inventor You are resourceful and clever for a kobold.

You carry six of your inventions with you, and you can use each of the options below as an action once. Their DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. You also add your proficiency bonus to attack rolls of your inventions (including the swarms attacks). All initial damage increases by an additional 1d6 at 8th level, 12th level, 16th level and 20th level.

You can only use one invention each turn. After finishing a long rest, and spending 1 hour to forage and prepare, you can regain all expended uses of your inventions. These inventions look like a mess of scrap, therefore others are unwilling to use or purchase them.

You can choose to panic and use one of the options below as a bonus action, however you must roll a d6 dice to determine which invention you use. If you roll a used invention, then nothing happens.

1- Acid. You hurl a flask of volatile acid to a location within 20 ft. Those within 10 ft of that location must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

2- Basket of Centipedes. You throw a small basket up to 20 ft. A swarm of insects (centipedes) emerges from it, immediately taking its turn after yours, and attacks the nearest creature until that creature is reduced to 0 hit points, after which the swarm disperses.

3- Scorpion on a Stick. You attack an adjacent creature with a scorpion tied to the end of a stick. On a hit the target suffers 1 piercing damage and must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 2d6 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save the target is also poisoned for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

4- Skunk in a Cage. You release a skunk into an unoccupied space within 20 ft, which immediately sprays its musk at a random creature adjacent to it. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target retches and can’t take actions for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, and whenever it takes damage, ending the effect on a success.

5- Volatile Fire. You hurl a flask of fire to a creature within 20 ft of you, who must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target suffers 1d6 initial fire damage, and 1d6 additional fire damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can take an action to extinguish the flames.

6- Wasp Nest in a Bag. This has the same rules as your Basket of Centipedes, but with wasps.

Nimble Kobold You are exceptionally nimble, even for a kobold.

You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than you.

During combat you can take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action.

Opportunist You have perfected techniques that allow you to take advantage of openings in an enemies defenses made by an allies attack.

Pickaxe Mastery

   Prerequisite: Club weapon group rank 2

 Your time spent wielding a pickaxe allows you to wield it with devastating efficiency. You can use them as if they had the finesse and versatile properties, dealing 1d8 piercing damage (1d10 when used with two hands).

Whenever you attack with a pickaxe, you can swing wildly, causing your attack to have disadvantage. If you hit, you deal additional damage equal to double your proficiency bonus.

Whenever you have disadvantage on an attack roll you make with a pickaxe, the target still takes piercing damage equal to your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice) if the attack misses but the higher of the two d20 rolls would have hit.

Dwarf
Dwarven Resilience You have the soul of dwarf heroes flowing through you.

Whenever you take the Dodge action in combat, you can spend one Hit Die to heal yourself.

Floran

While your hp is at its maximum value, you have resistance to all damage types except for fire.

Oozing Sap Your wounds ooze sap and close quickly. Any effect that causes bleeding will stop by itself after 1 round.

Juggling Joker

 You've found that your natural ability to juggle and throw stuff accurately elicits both applause and smiles from a crowd, as well as the oohs and aahs you delight so much in.

Your deft, quick hands allow you to draw a thrown weapon as part of a weapon attack instead of using an object interaction.

You can throw stones well, treating them as simple thrown weapons and can throw them up to 60 ft. On a hit they do 1d4 + Dex damage regardless of their size.

Embraced Heritage You have fully embraced your heritage.

Revealing your inner beast can shake mere humans to their cores. Any target that witnesses your shifting and has not seen this type of transformation before, must succeed at a Wisdom save against a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma bonus or be frightened of you. They are allowed a new save at the end of each of their turns.

Even if you teeth and claws are not strong enough to be used in combat, they can still do some damage to a close enough enemy. As a reaction when you are grappled or dealt damage while grappled, you may deal 1d6 + Str modifier slashing damage to your grappler.

Your lycanthropic heritage may be considered a curse, but it has given you an innate defense against baleful magic. You have advantage on saving throws against curses and curse effects.

Tiefling
Flames of Phlegethos You have learned to call on hellfire to serve your commands.

The flames don’t harm you or your possessions, and they shed bright light out to 30 ft and dim light for an additional 30 ft. While the flames are present, adjacent creature that hit you with a melee attack takes 1d4 fire damage.
