• Multiclassing | Feats | Synergy Feats

Pursuing more than one class can sometimes open up new opportunities and strategies, or expose an adventurer to something that permanently changes them. At certain levels every class gives you the Ability Score Improvement feature and adventurers with certain class combinations may optionally choose unique Synergy Feats in place of their Ability Score Increases if they meet certain prerequisites. Most synergy feats require class levels in specific classes, or have other synergy feats as prerequisites forming small synergy feat trees. You can take each feat only once, unless the feat’s description says otherwise.

Bladechanter

Prerequisites: 3 levels in fighter, 3 levels in wizard, Fighting Style (Two-Weapon Fighting)

Bladechanting is the art of unifying and maintaining intense physical and intellectual strains, allowing movement and thought to become one as a beautiful and deadly dance of blades.

If you wield a melee weapon in each hand, you may use them to perform seen spell components and as a spellcasting focus for wizard spells. In addition, whenever you are concentrating on a spell while using melee weapons as a spellcasting focus in this way, you enter a special trance-like state called bladechanting. If you lose concentration on your spell while bladechanting, you also stop bladechanting. While bladechanting you gain the following benefits:

• While you are wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor,  you gain a bonus to your Armor Class equal to your Intelligence modifier.
• Whenever you would need to make a concentration check to maintain a spell due to taking damage, you may spend 2 exertion to automatically succeed.
• When you hit a target with a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction and choose a spell of 1st-level or higher, casting it through your weapon. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action, and target a single creature or have a range of Touch. If a spell cast in this way requires an attack roll and targets the same target as the triggering melee weapon attack, it also hits as part of that attack. You may choose not to deal damage with a melee weapon attack used to cast a spell.

• You gain a bonus to Dexterity checks and saving throws equal to your Intelligence modifier.
• You gain a bonus to Intelligence checks and saving throws equal to your Dexterity modifier.
• When you are targeted by an attack but before the attack is rolled, you may expend a spell slot to attempt a whirling arcane evasion. If you do, make a Dexterity saving throw and add a +2 bonus for every spell slot level above 1st spent this way. If this Dexterity saving throw exceeds the triggering attack roll the attack becomes a miss, and you may immediately move up to 10 feet in any direction. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks .

Eldritch Whirlwind Master

Prerequisites: Whirling Incantor feat

With a blade’s sweep you pull and spin the arcane power, surrounding yourself in a cyclone of arcane energy as your spell's power tries to match the speed of your sword.

Whenever you use your reaction to cast a spell through a melee weapon attack using bladechanting, you may choose up to a number of additional targets for that spell equal to the spell level of the spell slot used to cast it. These additional targets must all be within 10 feet of you and are each treated as if they were the spell’s original target.

• Whenever you make a ranged weapon attack you can choose to conjure magical ammunition and select one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, or lightning. Your ranged weapon attacks using this conjured ammunition deal the chosen damage type instead of whatever damage type they would normally deal, and are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. Ammunition conjured in this way disappears at the end of the turn it was fired. 
• When you hit a target with a ranged weapon attack, you can use your reaction and choose a spell of 1st-level or higher, casting it through your ammunition. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action, and target a single creature or have a range of Touch. If a spell cast in this way requires an attack roll and targets the same target as the triggering ranged weapon attack, it also hits as part of that attack. You may choose not to deal damage with a ranged weapon attack used to cast a spell.

Arrow Enchanter

Prerequisites: Eldritch Archer feat

Skilled eldritch archers can subvert their arcane power to enchant the conjured arrows with rings of eldritch symbols and energy that form around their weapons as they fire. 

Whenever you make a ranged weapon attack, you may choose to expend a 1st-level spell slot or higher to enhance the attack to be empowered or unerring. You cannot enhance more than one attack in a turn in this way.

Empowered. An empowered shot deals an additional 2d6 force damage, and an additional 1d6 force damage for each spell slot level above 1st. 

Unerring. An unerring shot gains a +2 bonus to the attack roll, and an additional +2 bonus for each spell slot level above 1st.

Eldritch Volley Master

Prerequisites: Arrow Enchanter feat

With the string drawn taught, your rings of eldritch symbols form arrows of pure magic able to assail a whole platoon at once.

Whenever you cast a spell with a Cone area, you may additionally make ranged weapon attacks with a ranged weapon you are wielding against targets within that conical area.

Ranged attacks made in this way ignore the loading quality of weapons and use your conjured magical ammunition.

Once a creature successfully saves against this effect, it is immune to it for the remainder of your rage.

Vendetta

Something or someone has had a profound impact on your life—and earned your unending rancor.

Vigilante

Prerequisites: 3 levels in adept, 3 levels in ranger (as of Gate Pass Gazette #0, either of these can be substituted for 3 levels in Artificer).

A vigilante may operate inside civilization but outside the law, combining survival techniques and highly trained physical prowess to enforce their own justice from behind the anonymity and fearsome authority of a mask.

You gain the following benefits:    

• Your Wisdom or Dexterity score increases by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You have an alter ego, an identity associated with a costume or disguise. This alter ego can be as complicated as a full outfit with a history or legends surrounding it or a simple mask or cowl. You can assume or remove this alter ego as an action and it can be worn with all types of armor.
• You gain a 1d8 expertise die and advantage on Deception checks made regarding your alter ego, Persuasion checks made to dissuade others from connecting you to your alter ego, and on disguise kit checks.

• While in your alter ego, you may make a Prestige check and use that result in place of any Intimidation or Persuasion check you would otherwise make.

Equipped for Justice

Prerequisites: Vigilante feat

A vigilante is prepared for anything, and in your hands common pieces of equipment become tools of your unique brand of justice.

You gain the following benefits:

• You gain proficiency with all types of artisan’s tools and miscellaneous tools. If you already have proficiency with any of these tools, you instead gain an expertise die with those tools.
• You gain proficiency with Engineering and a 1d8 expertise die on Engineering checks. In addition, you build a nonmagical grappling gun that only functions in your hands. Replacing your grappling gun requires 3 days of crafting and 500 gold.
• You may add your Wisdom modifier to the DC of any saving throws used for miscellaneous adventuring gear items and to attack rolls made using miscellaneous adventuring gear items.

A Symbol That Strikes Fear

Prerequisites: Equipped for Justice feat

All vigilantes eventually become symbols, and you are a legend that strikes fear into the hearts of those that would stand against you. Creatures with a CR lower than your alter ego’s Prestige rating are frightened of you while you are in your alter ego.

In addition, you become particularly adept at subduing your enemies rather than outright killing them. Whenever you begin a turn grappling a creature, you can attempt to non-lethally subdue it. The grappled creature makes a Constitution saving throw against your maneuver DC. On a failed saving throw, a creature is knocked unconscious for the next hour. A creature with more than 25% of its maximum hit points automatically succeeds on this saving throw. 

 

Feats are powerful abilities that transcend class features, granting your character extraordinary abilities. Narratively, feats may result from raw talent, divine imbuement, magical modification, extensive training, or the awakening of memories from a past life, but the mechanical benefits are identical.

You may opt to take a feat in lieu of an attribute bonus whenever your class offers you one.  Unless specifically stated, each feat may only be taken once.

To select a feat, you must meet the requirements listed in the description.  If for some reason you no longer meet a feat’s requirements, you lose access to the feat and any abilities it grants until you meet the requirement again.

Adventurers are not locked into only one character class and can realize new and interesting concepts by mixing the abilities of multiple classes.

Whenever you gain a character level, you have the option of gaining a level in a different class instead of gaining the next level in your current class. Your character level is the total number of levels you have in any classes. For example, if you have 3 levels in ranger , 2 levels in fighter , and 1 level in berserker , you are a 6th level character.

Multiclassing allows you to freely develop your adventurer in whatever direction you see fit. Compared to an adventurer of a single class, you’ll have greater versatility and a wider range of options, but you will end up sacrificing some of your focus and you’ll typically reach more powerful class features later than most.

---

Optional: Prerequisites

A berserker may need to do some studying before they can become a wizard. Before you can take a level of a new class, you must meet that class’ ability score prerequisites and the prerequisites of your existing classes as shown in the Multiclassing Prerequisites table. 

For example, a sorcerer who decides to multiclass into the rogue class must have both Dexterity and Charisma scores of 13 or higher.

Table: Multiclassing Prerequisites

Class	Ability Score Minimum
Adept	Dexterity 13 and Wisdom 13
Bard	Charisma 13
Berserker	Strength 13
Cleric	Wisdom 13
Druid	Wisdom 13
Fighter	Strength 13 or Dexterity 13
Herald	Strength 13 and Charisma 13
Marshal	Charisma 13
Ranger	Dexterity 13 and Wisdom 13
Rogue	Dexterity 13
Sorcerer	Charisma 13
Warlock	Intelligence 13 or Wisdom 13 or Charisma 13
Wizard	Intelligence 13

 

---

Experience Points

If your game is utilizing experience points (XP), your XP cost to gain new class levels is based on your character level and not your level in any particular class. For example, if you have 4 levels in fighter and 2 levels in marshal, you must gain enough XP to reach 7th level before you can gain a new level in any class.

---

Hit Points and Hit Dice

You gain the 1st level hit points only from your very first level as a 1st level character. Any levels gained from multiclassing gain the hit points as described for levels after 1st level, even if they would be the first level gained in a particular class.

If your classes both provide the same hit die type, you can simply pool them together. If your classes provide different hit die types, you must keep track of them separately and you may spend them as you choose for any features that require hit dice. For example, if you have 3 levels in berserker and 4 levels in adept, you would have 3d12 hit dice and 4d8 hit dice. When using the adept’s Battle Meditation Focus Feature to regain exertion points, you could choose to spend either a d12 hit die or a d8 hit die.  

---

Proficiency Bonus

Your proficiency bonus is based on your character level, not on any one particular class. For example, if you have 4 levels of cleric, and 5 levels of fighter, you are a 9th level character with a proficiency bonus of +4.

---

Proficiencies

You only gain some of the 1st level proficiencies from classes taken after your first class, as shown in the Multiclassing Proficiencies table.

Table: Multiclassing Proficiencies 

Class	Proficiencies Gained
Adept	Simple weapons, shortswords
Berserker	Light armor, medium armor, shields, simple weapons, martial weapons
Bard	Light armor, one skill of your choice, one musical instrument of your choice

Starting Equipment

You only gain the starting equipment of your first class at 1st level. You do not gain any additional starting equipment from your first levels in additional classes.

---

Class Features

Whenever you gain a new level in a class, you gain the class features for that level. There are, however, some features that are found in multiple classes and need additional rules when combined: Alternate Armor Class, Combat Maneuvers, Extra Attack, and Spellcasting .

Alternate Armor Class

Multiple instances of any feature that provides an alternate Armor Class calculation do not stack and cannot combine in any way. If you have multiple features that provide an alternate Armor Class calculation, your AC is equal to the highest Armor Class calculation that currently applies. 

An alternate Armor Class calculation applies when all its requirements are met. For example, the adept’s Agile Defense feature specifies that you cannot be using a shield, while the berserker’s Rugged Defense feature specifies that it applies while you are using a shield. If you have both features and are using a shield, you could apply your Rugged Defense, but Agile Defense would not currently apply.

Combat Maneuvers

If you gain the Combat Maneuvers class feature from more than one class, you gain any additional combat traditions or maneuvers the features provide but your exertion pool remains the same and does not stack. 

Heralds. The herald is an exception to this rule. If your first levels are in the herald class, you gain an exertion pool equal to twice your proficiency bonus. You regain exertion spent from this pool at the end of a short or long rest .

You use your class levels in every class that grants combat maneuvers to determine the highest degree of combat maneuvers you can learn, determined by the class with the greatest access. For example, if you have 3 levels of fighter and 10 levels of herald you can learn combat maneuvers of up to 4th degree (like a 13th level fighter).

Extra Attack

You cannot stack multiple instances of the Extra Attack feature from multiple classes, and additional instances of the feature do not add additional attacks. 

Fighters and Marshals. The additional 11th level Extra attack feature gained by fighters and marshals are both exceptions to this rule (a fighter 5/marshal 6 can attack 3 times with the Attack action.)

Spellcasting

If you gain the Spellcasting feature from only one class you follow the spellcasting rules found in that class. However, if you gain the Spellcasting feature from different classes you must use the following rules.

Spells Known and Prepared

You know and prepare the spells of each of your classes individually as if you only had levels in that class. For example if you have 2 levels of sorcerer and 3 levels of wizard, you know the same number of spells as a 2nd level sorcerer and prepare the same number of spells as a 3rd level wizard.

Each spell you know and prepare is chosen from a different one of your classes, and uses the spellcasting ability of the same class. If one of your classes uses a distinct spellcasting focus, such as an arcane focus, it can only be used for the spells chosen from that class. 

Spell Slots

Your total number of spell slots is determined by adding together all the class levels you have from classes with the Spellcasting feature, but some classes do not count as highly as others when determining your spell slots. 

Your class levels in the bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, and wizard classes all count fully towards your spell slots.

Half your levels (rounded down) in the herald class count towards your spell slots.

One third of your levels (rounded down) in the ranger class with the Wildborn archetype count towards your spell slots.

Use this total to determine your spell slots using the Multiclass Spellcaster table. For example, if you have 2 herald levels and 5 cleric levels you count as a 6th level spellcaster for determining your spell slots. 

This table may provide you with spell slots at levels higher than you can prepare or know. While you cannot use these slots for spells you don’t know or can’t prepare, you can still use them to enhance many lower level spells. For example, if you have 2nd-level spell slots but don't know any 2nd-level spells, you can cast magic missile as a 2nd-level spell instead of a 1st-level spell (provided you know or have prepared it), even though you don’t know any spells of 2nd-level or higher.

Pact Magic

If you have a Spellcasting class feature and the warlock’s Pact Magic class feature, you may spend spell points gained from your Pact Magic feature to cast spells you know from your Spellcasting class feature. Similarly, you can use spell slots gained from your Spellcasting feature to cast warlock spells you know.

For one reason or another an adventurer may be moved to donate to charity or invest to the betterment of a settlement. There are boons and rewards available to sponsoring a city project or helping develop a charitable organization. In order to benefit from a donation, you must contribute at least 1,000 gold.

---

INFRASTRUCTURE REWARDS

STONE BRIDGE (1,500 GOLD)

Donating the money for the bridge gives you the privilege of naming it. If it is a toll bridge, you never have to pay toll at this bridge or any other toll collector in the settlement. Additionally, you gain advantage on Charisma checks when interacting with common citizens of the settlement.

IMPROVED SEWER SYSTEM (4,000 GOLD)

When you donate money for a new or improved sewer system you gain exclusive access to the sewer blueprints, and you can order secret tunnels to be made between the sewers and any 3 buildings in the city of their choosing. Additionally, for an extra 3,000 gold, a small underground facility can be built inside the sewers. This facility does not count towards the other 3 buildings that have tunnel access.

CITY BUILDINGS (2,500 GOLD)

When you fund the building of a city institution, such as a town hall or police facility, you never have to make an appointment to see a city official. Additionally, you gain advantage on Insight and Intimidation checks when interacting with city officials.

PHILANTHROPIC REWARDS

PUBLIC LIBRARY (3,000 GOLD)

When you fund the building of a public library you gain advantage on Investigation checks made to research using the library so long as relevant information can be found there. Additionally, you may ask the scholar in residence to perform a research project over the course of one week on a specific topic. How useful the information provided after this research is complete is left to the Narrator’s discretion.

HOSPITAL (4,000 GOLD)

When you contribute to the building of a hospital you gain free treatment by the medical staff. Medical staff immediately work to stabilize any dying character, regardless of whether they donated to the hospital. Common diseases can be treated in a week’s time. Treatment of rarer diseases and ailments are left to the Narrator’s discretion, and hospitals cannot treat magical ailments.

ORPHANAGE (2,500 GOLD)

Characters who contribute to the building of an orphanage gain the trust of the youngsters of the street. You have advantage on Charisma checks made against orphans from this settlement. Additionally, at the Narrator’s discretion the staff of the orphanage are willing to provide useful information to you. Such information could include local gangs recruiting orphans or the identity of an orphan’s parents.

SCHOOL (3,000 GOLD)

If a school is built there is a higher chance of literacy amongst children, teenagers, and young adults in the town. Additionally, characters can recruit recent graduates of the settlement’s school as hirelings. 

COMMUNITY BOTANICAL GARDEN (3,000 GOLD)

A community garden gives the settlement access to plants used for medicinal and magical purposes—as well as good old-fashioned cooking. After you build a botanical garden you have access to herbs and plants required for spell components, the brewing of potions, and the crafting of magical items. Additionally, you receive a 10% discount on all potions and food sold in this settlement.

ANIMAL SANCTUARY (10,000 GOLD)

An animal sanctuary is a great investment for any adventuring party, especially rangers and druids. Animal sanctuaries provide a location to learn about more animals that you may not interact with every day. These institutions sell their creatures only to those they know who will care for them, and when you invest in the building of such a property you receive a 50% discount on the animals found there.

The further you adventure the more you’ll need certain spells cast—but you may not yet be powerful enough to cast them. The first time this is likely to come up is after the untimely death of a party member. When this happens, to return them to life allies must seek out a spellcaster of some renown to hire for the task.

Powerful mages who advertise their services are only likely to be found in a magical metropolis.

You can also pay someone to enchant your weapons, armor, clothing, or jewelry. The price for an enchanted item such as this is the combined total of the crafter’s fee for a wondrous item and the cost of the mundane item without enchantment. 

Additionally, for a fee of a third of a magic item’s cost, you can have an enchanter transfer the enchantment from one magic item to a mundane item.

Adventurers can be a picky sort and sometimes it is harder to find the exact item they need on the rack of a smithy or the shelf of a magic item supplier. When this happens crafting the desired items from scratch is the solution—and why craft something yourself if you have the money to pay an expert?

To determine the cost of having an item crafted, you must add the cost of materials and the crafter’s fee to the standard price for the item, although when rare materials are involved you may have to provide them instead of just pay for them. At the Narrator’s discretion the crafter’s fee may vary slightly based upon the crafter’s experience, settlement population, or some other variable. Refer to the Crafting Prices table to find the standard prices for crafter’s and material’s fees. Use the storefront column to determine what kind of storefront said crafter is usually found in.

Table: Crafting Prices

Item Type	Crafter's Fee	Storefront
Common or uncommon potion	5%	Apothecary, magic item supplier
Rare potion	10%	Apothecary, magic item supplier
Wondrous item	10%	Magic item supplier
Ammunition	5%	Smithy
Simple weapon	5%	Smithy
Martial weapon	10%	Smithy
Light armor	5%	Leatherworker
Medium armor	5%	Smithy
Heavy armor	10%	Smithy
