Prerequisite(s): Constitution 13, cannot be vulnerable to cold.

You are a walking, smoldering battery for hyper-lethal doses of flesh-rending, bone-shattering and soul-scorching power; those titanic forces which ripple over you – and through you! – re-charge the god within … even as they tear-apart every cell of your mortal being.

With this feat you attract a squire, sidekick, cohort, apprentice, bodyguard, or other sort of companion. Chose one of the following from Appendix B of the System Reference Document: Acolyte, Bandit, Cultist, Guard, Noble, Scout, Thug, or Tribal Warrior. At your GM’s discretion you may select some other customized companion with a challenge rating of ¼ or lower. The companion’s alignment is the same or very similar to yours. The GM determines the companion’s race, gender, age, background, and other characteristics.

In return for their service, you agree to train them and provide for their basic needs (food, shelter, etc.). The companion helps and serves you to the best of their ability. They may perform many menial tasks such as errands, portage, research, or donning armor. They may also help in combat. They take their turns on your initiative and obey your directions in combat. As long as the companion is within 60 feet of you, they use your proficiency bonus for attacks, saving throws, and skills they are proficient in, as they are actively learning from you. However, if you fall unconscious or move more than 60 feet away, they lose this bonus. The companion will not tolerate abuse and will abandon you or turn on you if they feel mistreated. Companions do not gain experience points or advance in level while they serve you. After studying under you for a time, they eventually move on to pursue career opportunities elsewhere and must be replaced with a new recruit. If a companion dies or leaves, you can spend 8 hours recruiting a new one. You can also dismiss your current companion and recruit a new one.

Through your training, your instincts in the air are unmatched. You can reroll a failed Dexterity save made while you are airborne and use result of the new roll. Once you use this feature to do so, you must finish a short or long rest before you can do so again.

Aim

By taking your time and lining up a shot, you are able to increase your accuracy with ranged attacks. You may use your action to aim. If you do, you may add your Wisdom modifier to the result of your next ranged attack roll, as long as you make that roll before the end of your next turn.

Alchemaestro

Your physiology is well adapted for consuming and enduring the effects of potions, granting you the following benefits.

• When you would drink a potion as an action, you may instead drink it as a bonus action.
• When the duration of a potion you drank would end, you can choose to concentrate on it (as though concentrating on a spell). If you do so, the potion’s duration continues for as long as you maintain concentration, instead of for its normal duration.
• The effects of potions upon you are not considered magical effects.

The degree to which a drinker’s ability score can be altered by the elixir is based on the potion’s rarity, as detailed in the Elixir Effect by Rarity table. When the elixir is consumed, the creature’s ability score becomes the value shown in the Ability Score Value column, and the effects last for 1 hour. If an effect would again alter the ability score of a creature benefiting from an elixir, the elixir’s effect immediately ends. Additionally, a creature can only benefit from a single elixir at a time. If it drinks a second elixir while another elixir is in effect, the first elixir’s effect immediately ends.

Alchemical Artillerist

You have specialized in the numerous dangerous chemicals at the alchemist’s fingertips, gaining the following benefits:

• Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You may treat thrown alchemical weapons as simple ranged weapons with the finesse and thrown (range 20/60) qualities, instead of as improvised weapons.
• Throwing alchemical weapons at long range doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls.
• When attacking with alchemical weapons, you deal 1 additional die of damage.

Alchemist

Prerequisite(s): Proficiency with an alchemist’s kit

You learn the forbidden art of creating life through alchemy. Using 10 gp of alchemical reagents and an alchemist’s kit, you can grow 1d4 + 1 creatures in jars as a light activity during a long rest, chosen from the following list: contained fetal horror jar, green ooze, pickled watcher, preserved flayer mind, sanguine lamprey vial, suspended metamorphic nymph, twisted abomination bottle.

You may only have 5 such alchemical jars prepared at a time. Any jars created in excess of 5 are inert and have no effect.

Sample Alchemical Creations

Fetal Horror Jar

Wondrous item, uncommon

As an action, you can throw this jar up to 20 feet to an unoccupied square, shattering it on impact. A fetal horror emerges from the shattered jar. Roll initiative for the creature, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). At the end of each of the creature’s turns, it makes a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature continues to obey you. On a successful save, your control of the creature ends and the creature may attack or flee.

Pickled Watcher

From the eyestalk of a watcher, a pygmy is grown in a sealed jar of swirling blue alchemical fluid. The dead eyes and slack-jawed mouth, filled with needlelike teeth, bob in the murky arcane liquid. These jars are often ornate, fastened with double lids: one for consuming the fluid, and a second for removing the shriveled, bloated watcher within.

If the fluid around the watcher is consumed, the imbiber is granted true sight, the ability to see the nature of things and pierce all illusions. However, the mortal eye was not meant to bear the intensity of this gaze for long. Consuming the liquid makes the imbiber sensitive to the sun and other bright lights. As the effects of the elixir fade, vision may fade with it, leaving the imbiber blind. Normal sight eventually returns for most, though some have gone truly blind from consuming too much of the pickled watcher’s elixir.

Pickled Watcher

Potion, uncommon

When you drink this potion you gain truesight and sunlight sensitivity for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes you must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 hour.

Potion

Proper potions of healing, sanctioned by the alchemists guild, cost an enormous sum for the common man. Fifty gold pieces, though affordable for an adventurer flush with treasure from plundered hoards, is far beyond the reach of most ordinary folk. Many turn to back-alley alchemists or blackmarket dealers for sanguine elixirs. These cheap replacements are consumed by sick commoners, wounded soldiers, and injured mercenaries. They are often made poorly, and the odds of sickness from the worms is exacerbated by the unskilled hands of the alchemist who created them.

Blackmarket Potions. Though alchemists failed at creating true fae, the result was not without some aspects of faerie power. The dust that glitters in the rosy waters of the elixir is fairy dust, a powerful intoxicant and aphrodisiac. Those who drink such a potion are swept up in the wild magic of the fey, charmed by all creatures they encounter. It heightens natural attraction, and often leads to the imbiber thinking they have fallen in love. Beyond simply being a love potion for the imbiber, it also suffuses them with an aura of powerful pheromones, causing the creatures around them to be similarly enthralled by the potion’s effects. These potions are often sold as blackmarket love potions, with this particular side-effect omitted during the bartering.

Preserved Flayer Mind

Potion, uncommon

When you drink this potion you gain advantage to all Intelligence and Wisdom skill checks for 1 hour. After 1 hour you must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or suffer 1d4 psychic damage and the effects of a short-term madness.

Sanguine Lampreys

Sanguine lampreys, or bloodworms as they are commonly called, are grown from cheap alchemical reagents. They are used in sanguine elixirs, suspended in a vial of blood-red fluid. If approached, they will strike at the glass, revealing maws of serrated teeth. If ingested, these worms will repair the flesh of their host. The process is painful and can poison a host not strong enough to tolerate the worms.

Sanguine Lamprey Vial

Potion, common

When you drink this potion it restores 2d4 hit points, but you must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. The amount of hit points restored by such a vial increases when its creator reaches 5th level (4d4), 11th level (8d4), and 17th level (10d4).

Suspended Metamorphic Nymph

Potion, uncommon

When you drink this potion you gain advantage on all Charisma skill checks, but all Charisma rolls against you also have advantage. Effects such as detect magic will reveal glowing dust radiating from you. These effects last for 1 hour.

Alchemists attempted to synthesize sylvan beings, creatures not of our world. The metamorphic nymph is the result of those experiments — both the failure and the success. Fae are unlike other creatures, not native to the mortal plane. Creating them through alchemical means proved difficult. Suspended in swirling pearlescent pink fluid (which can be gleaned as the source of the elixir’s power), it appears at first to be a pixie, with faerie wings and tiny features not unlike a fair human, though as the elixir swirls the rest of the creature is revealed. Insect-like features mar the smoothness of the fairy’s skin, its body tapering into insectile legs.

Twisted Abomination

First created by warlocks, the elixir of the twisted abomination is a dark attempt to harness the strength of a captive demon. Inside this red liquid, a twisted form of claws and horns and muscles bulges against the glass of its containment. Drinking this fluid suffuses the imbiber with terrible strength and mindless bloodlust. Some become lost in the potion’s induced rage and use their strength to commit terrible acts of violence, of which they have no recollection when the effects of the elixir fade.

Twisted Abomination Bottle

Potion, uncommon

When you drink this potion you gain advantage on Strength checks and your size increases by one category — such as from Medium to Large. While enlarged you are also enraged and can’t talk, write, or read, and you can’t cast or concentrate on spells. Your weapon attacks deal an additional 1d4 damage of the same type. These effects last for 1 hour.

Alertness

Alertness

You are always cautious of danger, and are rarely caught unaware.

Prerequisite(s): Perception proficiency

• You have a +2 bonus to initiative checks.
• You are never surprised, so long as you are not stunned or unconscious.
• Enemies never gain advantage when striking you from stealth.

Alien Communication

Prerequisite(s): Hoyrall

You may not be particularly suave with your three tongues, but you have an uncanny knack of getting across information via your antennae-a knowledge you can use to your advantage. You gain the following benefits:

• You can communicate with up to 2 allied creatures that can clearly see your antennae twitch at will as if using telepathic bond.
• You no longer suffer disadvantage to Charisma (Deception) checks.
• You increase your Charisma score by 2 to a maximum of 20.

Prerequisite(s): Vestraadi

The knowledge of the current flows through you and instills a sense of truth in you. You gain the following benefits:

• Increase your Wisdom score by 2, to a maximum of 20.
• You gain resistance to radiant damage.

Alignment Channel

You can channel divine energy to affect outsiders that possess opposing alignments.

Prerequisite(s): Channel Divinity

• Your Wisdom score increases by +1.
• Instead of its normal effect, you can choose to have your ability to Channel Divinity turn outsiders of opposing alignment subtypes (Law/Chaos and Good/Evil). Neutral clerics must choose which alignments subtypes they can affect when taking this feat. If you choose to turn creatures of the chosen alignment subtype, your channel energy has no effect on other creatures. Note that you cannot destroy creatures with this feat.
• Thanks to your faith and connection to an alignment, the save DC for your Channel Divinity ability increases by +1 against foes with opposing alignments.

Alluring Magic

Prerequisite(s): The ability to cast a spell that charms a creature.

A whisper of the Scintillating Fey Courts’ influence accompanies your magic, seducing your targets with its intoxicating allure. When you cast a spell that requires a non-hostile creature (excluding fey) to make a saving throw to resist being charmed by you, the creature must roll 1d4 and subtract the number rolled from the saving throw’s result. Additionally, when a creature (excluding fey) makes a saving throw to resist being charmed by one of your spells and fails by 5 or more, it has disadvantage on ability checks until the end of its next turn.

Alter Self

You can change shape at will.

Note Infernal feats are first gained by taking the Infernal Pact feat. This feat ties a character to a Circle’s particular lord. If the character is not from that Circle, the Circle is considered his “home” Circle from that point on. The feats available to a character are determined by his home Circle—a character cannot take infernal feats that are not listed as tied to a Circle.

Prerequisite: Infernal Pact.

• Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You learn the alter self spell. You can cast this spells without expending a spell slot. Once you cast the spells in this way, you can’t cast it in this way again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast alter self using spell slots you have of the appropriate level. The spells’ spellcasting ability is the ability increased by this feat.

Amateur Crystalline Cannonade

Prerequisite(s): Colliatur, Dexterity 10 or higher

You have learned to grow a powerful crystalline crossbow from the protrusions of your body. You gain the following benefits:

• You may grow your choice of either a light crossbow, hand crossbow or heavy crossbow from your crystal-sheathed arm as part of making a ranged attack. This crossbow is loaded and fires shards of your own, rapidly regenerating body as ammunition. The crystalline ammunition is in all regards identical to regular ammunition for the respective crossbow. Only your crossbow can fire your ammunition. You can will your crossbow back into your body as an action that provokes opportunity attacks.
• Starting at 6th level, your crystalline ammunition receives +1 to attack and damage rolls and is treated as ammunition+1 for all intents and purposes. This bonus increases to +2 at 12th level and +3 at 18th level. Crystalline ammunition becomes brittle and loses all potency when taken from your body and thus can never be sold.

Amateur Psychic Poisoner

Prerequisite(s): Intelligence 13 or higher

• You have learned the basics of the forbidden art of the poisoner of minds from the drow.
• You gain your Intelligence modifier poison points +1/2 your proficiency bonus.
• Choose two attributes as your focus that are not Charisma or Constitution. You can create psychic poisons with the chosen attributes as focus.
• Your psychic poison’s maximum number of poison points equal to your proficiency bonus +1.
• You may only create psychic poisons of the type The Shell’s Bane.

Amber Wayfarer

You are a veteran of traversing the Amber Road.

You gain the following benefits:

• When using an Amberized Lodestone in conjunction with an Amber Attenuator, you are automatically cognizant of interfering resonance without requiring detect magic.
• You decrease the chance of incurring a mishap when using an Amber Road while subject to multiple resonances or using a broken lodestone to 01-10 on a d%, with 11-50 depositing you in a similar area and 51-100 putting you on target.
• You can cast seek earthly transit as a 1st-level spell at will. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for this spell.

Ambidextrous

Prerequisite(s): Extra Attack class feature

When you fight with two weapons, your martial skill enables you to perform deadly maneuvers, relentlessly assaulting your opponents. You gain the following benefits:

• Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• Extra Strike. When you are wielding a light melee weapon in each hand and take the Attack action, you can use a bonus action to attack twice with your second weapon instead of once (see the Combat chapter: Making an Attack).
• Double Strike. When you are wielding a light melee weapon in each hand and have advantage on your attack rolls against a creature, if you make a successful weapon attack against this creature and the lower of the two dice would have been sufficient to hit, you can immediately use your reaction to add the damage of your second weapon to your attack. Your ability modifier does not apply to this additional damage unless you have the Two-Weapon Fighting class feature.

Your character is wielding a scimitar and a shortsword and is making a scimitar attack with advantage. You need to roll 12 or more to hit. You roll 17 and 14, meaning that in addition to your scimitar’s damage, you can use your reaction to deal the damage of your shortsword.

Amphibious Adaptation

Prerequisite(s): Aquatic creature that cannot breathe out of water.

You can survive out of water far longer than your aquatic kin.

• Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You can survive out of water for a number of hours equal to your Constitution score before you risk suffocation. If you already have the ability to survive out of water for a limited amount of time before suffocating or suffering other ill effects, that amount of time is doubled.
• If you do not possess a land speed, you gain a land speed of 5 feet. If you possess a land speed that is less than 20 feet, your speed on land increases by 5 feet.
• You can walk across the top of unstable mats of seaweed, kelp, lily pads, and the like, requiring a DC 5 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check for large, thick tangles of such aquatic vegetation and a DC 15 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check for thin or loose layers of such vegetation. In addition, plants and plant-based effects gain disadvantage on any check to grapple you and you gain advantage on any roll to avoid being grappled by a plant or plant-based effect (such as a saving throw against entangle).

Benefit(s):

• Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

• You can walk across the top of unstable mats of seaweed, kelp, lily pads, and the like, requiring a DC 5 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check for large, thick tangles of such aquatic vegetation and a DC 15 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check for thin or loose layers of such vegetation. In addition, plants and plant-based effects gain disadvantage on any check to grapple you and you gain advantage on any roll to avoid being grappled by a plant or plant-based effect (such as a saving throw against entangle).

Amplified Risk

When you force a creature to make a saving throw, if they roll a 1 on the d20, the following applicable effects activate:

• If a target has immunity to the damage type, they take damage as though they only had resistance
• If a target has resistance to the damage type, they take damage as though they do not have resistance
• The duration is doubled
• If subsequent checks are required, they are made with disadvantage

Anatomical Precision

Prerequisite(s): Proficiency with Medicine, sneak attack or surgical precision class feature

Your study of human and inhuman anatomies allows you to strike with deadly precision. As a bonus action, you can study the anatomy and movement style of a creature within 30 feet, making an Intelligence check appropriate to the creature’s type, with a DC of 8 + the target’s CR. If successful, for the next minute you may add your Intelligence modifier to attack rolls against the creature and increase the damage of any sneak attack die against that target.

• Intelligence (Arcana): aberration, dragon, monstrosity, ooze
• Intelligence (History): construct, giant
• Intelligence (Nature): beast, elemental, fey, plant
• Intelligence (Religion): celestial, fiend, undead
• Wisdom (Medicine): goblinoid, humanoid

Anesthetist

Prerequisite(s): Proficiency with Medicine and poisoner’s kit

You are an expert at subduing a target with nonlethal poisons. You gain the following benefits:

When you use a poison that causes unconsciousness, you increase the DC of saving throws made to resist it by 1 for every 2 points of proficiency bonus you possess, and if the unconsciousness caused by that poison has a variable duration that duration is always the maximum amount.

When examining a creature rendered unconscious by such a poison, you can make a Wisdom (Medicine) check against the poison’s save DC + 5 to determine how much time remains until the target awakens.

You can also use the Medicine skill to ameliorate pain.

As an action and bonus action, you can infuse or inject a creature with a mixture of pain-deadening compounds. After 1 minute, the target gains advantage on saving throws against fear and poison. This bonus lasts 1 hour.

Alternatively, you can provide a fast-acting sedative that provides the above benefits 1 round after being injected rather than 1 minute; however, the duration of the effect is reduced to 1 minute. If the target is already affected by a pain effect or is already frightened or poisoned, they can instead attempt a new saving throw (without advantage) to suppress the effect as long as the anesthesia lasts.

Once you have used this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier, you require a long rest before it can be used again.

Angel Mangler

You specialize in slaughtering angels and their goodly ilk.

Your attacks, features, and spells affecting celestials ignore any damage resistance (but not immunity) the celestial has. Additionally, when you reduce a celestial to 0 hit points on your turn, you can use a bonus action to make a weapon attack against the same or another celestial you can see.

Animal Affinity

You are skilled at working with animals and mounts.

Prerequisite(s): Animal Handling proficiency

• You gain expertise with all Animal Handling skill checks.
• You can verbally command any of your beast companions or mounts to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help or Move as a free action during your turn. Your beast companion must be able to see or hear you in order to use this ability.

You can forge a deep bond with an animal, to the point that it will be ready to die for you.

Benefit(s): You can lure an animal from the following list: ape, black bear, boar, panther, or wolf. The GM can authorize other creatures, but they must be small or medium beasts with a challenge rating of 1/2 or lower. You must be in an environment suitable to the chosen animal. Unless circumstances do not permit it, the animal behaves toward you in a friendly manner and follows you curiously. If you treat it well for one week, it draws closer to you, faithfully accompanying you and obeying your instructions like a very well trained dog.

• Your contact with your animal companion makes it better, increasing its Intelligence to 4 if it was initially lower. Its maximum hit points become equal to half of yours, unless they are higher. Any change to your maximum hit points is reflected on your animal companion, in accordance with the same formula.
• In combat, the animal follows your instructions (provided they remain simple and understandable for a highly intelligent animal) and has its own initiative. As long as you are conscious, you can see it, and it can see you, you decide how your animal companion uses its movement, action, and reaction. Otherwise, it acts in the manner most appropriate to its nature and to the circumstances. Since it must dedicate part of its attention to your commands, it cannot make more than one attack on its game turn. You cannot have more than one animal companion at the same time. If your animal companion dies or runs away because you treat it poorly or stop paying attention to it, you can start the bonding process again with another suitable animal.

Animal Companion

Benefit(s): Choose one of the following beasts to be your companion: blood hawk, mastiff, mule, or riding horse.

You can give simple verbal commands to your companion without using your action. Your animal companion takes its turn directly after yours, and attempts to fulfill your commands as best as possible. Additionally, your companion gains the following benefits:

• Its proficiency bonus is equal to your proficiency bonus

• For each level you have above 4th, you companion gains an additional hit die, and increases its hit point maximum accordingly.

• Increase your Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You have advantage on Deception and Persuasion checks involving humanoids.
• Once per day, you can cause one humanoid within 60 feet of you to approach you if it fails a Wisdom save (DC = 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature use its movement on each of its turns to move within your reach. When the humanoid has done so, it can’t willingly move away from you. If you damage or otherwise harm an affected humanoid, the affected humanoid can make a Wisdom saving throw to end the effect. The effect lasts for up to 1 minute and the humanoid can make a Wisdom save each round to resist the effect. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until after a long rest.

If your animated familiar reaches 0 hit points, you can cast the find familiar spell to completely repair the object while touching it, animating it and returning it to its hit point maximum.

You have an innate magical gift for communicating with the natural world. You know and can cast the animal friendship and animal messenger spells once each without any need for components.

If you must expend a warlock spell slot to activate the invocation, you can use a spell slot from any class, provided the spell slot expended is equal to or higher than the spell’s actual level. If an invocation calls for a saving throw, the save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

Once you’ve used this feature, you can’t use it again until you’ve finished a short or long rest as you use this time to gather ingredients for your next bomb.

It may move and take bonus actions and reactions as normal. If your companion is slain, the magical bond you share allows you to return it to life. As a light activity during a long rest, you may spend 10 gp worth of rare herbs to call your companion’s spirit, which restores your companion to life with all its hit points at your location at the end of the rest. You can return your companion to life in this way using the magic of your bond even if its body is lost or destroyed.

• You can spend 2 hours (which can be during a long rest) creating a mystical bond with another spellcaster.

Both of you must spend this time in meditation, and you must remain within 10 feet of each other. The bond goes into effect when the meditation is over (or when you finish your long rest). Once the bond is formed, the two of you can bolster one another’s magic. When one of you must make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, the other can use his or her reaction to help maintain the effect. Both of you make the saving throw. If either save is successful, the caster maintains concentration. If both saves are failed, both of you lose concentration on any spells you are maintaining and each of you takes 2d6 psychic damage from the strain. You can maintain this bond with only one spellcaster at a time. If you create a new bond, the previous one breaks. Otherwise, the bond lasts until you finish your next long rest.

• As an action, shroud yourself as nondetection for 1 minute.
• As a bonus action, reshape the memories of one creature you can see within 30 feet so that they forget everything you did within the previous round (or the previous 1 minute, if not in combat).

You must finish a short rest before you may use this ability again. After using it a second time in one day, you must finish a long rest before you may use it again.

• You may use your action to allow a friendly dweorg within 5 ft. of you to take the disengage action as a bonus action on their next turn.

Claws

You have sharp claws for fingers.

Note Infernal feats are first gained by taking the Infernal Pact feat. This feat ties a character to a Circle’s particular lord.

• Your Intelligence score increases by 1, to a maximum of 20
• Once after finishing a long rest, you can use any cliché.

When you take a short rest, if you choose not to spend any hit dice yourself, you may instead attempt to help a companion tend their wounds. When a single companion rolls hit dice to regain health during a short rest, make a Medicine skill check with a DC equal to 10 + the number of hit dice your companion rolls. If you succeed, all of your companion’s hit dice automatically roll the highest number.

Combination Striker

Prerequisite(s): Monk

Through your martial arts training, you have honed a particular combination of moves that effectively puts your opponents off-guard. You may spend a ki point to empower your unarmed strikes in the following ways. By spending a single ki point, you have access to the entire combo, but must use the following abilities in sequence.

• Spinning Kick. Your first unarmed strike in a turn allows you to additionally move up to 5 feet without provoking opportunity attack. This movement can be used at any time during your turn.
• Uppercut. Your second unarmed strike in a turn forces your target to make a Dexterity saving throw versus your Ki save DC or fall prone.
• Flame Shot. Your third unarmed strike in a turn propels as a projectile that shoots 30 feet. It deals double your martial die in fire damage.

Command Undead

Using foul powers of necromancy, you can command undead creatures, making them into your servants.

Prerequisite(s): Evil Alignment, Channel Divinity class feature.

• As an action, you can use one of your uses of Channel Divinity to mentally enslave undead within 30 feet. You make a Turn Undead check as normal. Those undead that would be destroyed fall under your control, obeying your commands to the best of their ability. Intelligent undead shrug off your control after 24 hours. Controlled undead can have their will usurped by other clerics with this ability. When attempting to maintain control, each cleric makes a spellcasting check and the highest roll takes control.
• You can control a number of undead whose combined hit dice are equal or less than your cleric level.

Compel

You have a very compelling voice, or your sign language flows with great beauty. You may claim advantage on Charisma (Deception), Charisma (Persuasion), and Charisma (Performance) checks that rely primarily on your spoken or signed words.

Composite Bow Master

Source SS:BO

Prerequisite(s): Strength 13 or higher You can handle a higher draw weight on your bows than most, granting you the following benefits:

Composite Bow Master

Prerequisite: Strength 13 or higher

You can handle a higher draw weight on your bows than most, granting you the following benefits:

• Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You have proficiency with longbows.
• When you wield a longbow, that weapon’s normal damage becomes 1d10 piercing and you can add your Strength modifier to the damage instead of Dexterity.

Comprehend the Corrupted

Prerequisite(s): Non-evil alignment, Wisdom 13+

You possess wisdom of such incredible & unerring acuity that you may sense the bright spark of goodness – though buried deep, dormant & perhaps long-silenced – hidden within the cold, stony heart of even the most corrupt, vile and seemingly-irredeemable of villains.

Whenever a creature within 60 feet attacks you or an ally, as a bonus action you can make a Wisdom (Insight) check, opposed by that creature’s Charisma (Deception) check.

If your check succeeds, you can determine whether the creature has the potential to be swayed to your side by your actions, by your words, by outside circumstance beyond your control, or by some combination of those factors.

Creatures that are innately evil are instantly revealed as such unless their alignment aura is disguised by magic. You also can determine if a creature is not evil but is charmed or under some type of magical influence or control, or if a creature is entirely mindless and driven only by instinctual urges.

For creatures that do not fit into any of the above categories, a successful check gives you a useful hunch or clue about the creature’s motivations in attacking you, including a misguided good-aligned creature, a lawful soldier simply following orders, a case of mistaken identity, or even a case of the creature being forced to attack under duress or blackmail. The specifics of what is learned are up to the GM, but a successful check should provide some useful insight. A failed check may mark the target as suspicious but gives relatively little information.

You must have line of sight to the creature and be able to clearly specify that creature, even if it is disguised, polymorphed, has partial concealment, or otherwise is hiding its identity. You can use this feat once per round as a free action. You also can use this feat as a bonus action to reflect on the motivations of a creature who attacked you or an ally within the past minute.

At the GM’s option, you also can use this feat to gain insight into the motivations of a creature performing other types of actions besides attacking, such as theft or breaking into a building.

Concussive Spell

You cause creatures to be disoriented when you affect them with a spell that has the sonic descriptor.

Prerequisite(s): Ability to cast 3nd level spells

• When you deal thunder damage with a spell, a concussive wave of energy rattles creatures affected by the spell. A concussive spell causes creatures that take damage from a spell that has the sonic descriptor to have disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks for a number of rounds equal to the actual spell level of the spell. A concussive spell only affects spells with the sonic descriptor. A concussive spell uses up a spell slot two levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

Conduit of the Black Blade

Prerequisite(s): Divine Smite ability

Though your lethal powers are incredible to behold, you know in your darkest and most secret heart that you are nothing more than a tool, a pawn, a fleshy and fragile vessel for the will of forces both insane and ancient. You are merely wielded, a weapon in the palm of something born— or, rather, forged—of the Abyss to strike the world dead.

• Increase your Charisma or Strength score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You form a bond with one type of weapon. You can summon the weapon to your hand as a bonus action regardless of distance. If this weapon is ever damaged or destroyed, it reforms completely intact when you summon it. You can form a bond with a new weapon by completing a long rest with it in your possession, at which point your previous bond is broken.
• Whenever you use your Divine Smite, you can choose for it to do necrotic damage rather than radiant damage.

When dealing necrotic damage, your Divine Smite does not deal additional damage to undead or fiends, instead, the damage increases by 1d8 if the target is a celestial or a fey, to a maximum of 6d8.

• Increase your Charisma or Strength score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You form a bond with one type of weapon. You can summon the weapon to your hand as a bonus action regardless of distance. If this weapon is ever damaged or destroyed, it reforms completely intact when you summon it.

Confident

Prerequisite(s): Charisma 13+

You are remarkably self-assured. Whether it be due to high self-confidence, fearlessness, subconscious denial of the stakes of your circumstances, or abject stupidity, you are unaffected by nonmagical attempts to intimidate you. Charisma (Intimidation) checks that target you automatically fail. This has no effect whatsoever on magical effects, substances, or creature abilities that cause the frightened condition.

Conjunctive Attunement

Through intensive study of the nature of magic and the process of creating and maintaining magic items, you learn to circumvent normal attunement limits by joining two items together in synchronicity. To do so, you must spend a short rest performing various minor rituals, incantations, and meditation while touching two magic items of different types. Once this short rest is completed you may attune both items with a single attunement slot. These two items are forevermore considered one item with regard to attunement by you. If you break your attunement to one of the items, your attunement to both items breaks. You may not later attune either of the items unless you attune them both. If one of the items is cursed, both items are considered cursed, requiring two castings of remove curse to allow breaking attunement on both items.

As a result of this technique, you can be attuned to a maximum of four magical items, rather than the normal limit of three. Other attunement limitations still apply.

Contained Green Ooze

Wondrous item, common

As an action, you can make a DC 10 Dexterity check to throw this jar up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. On a failed check, the jar drops at your location and shatters. Once the jar is shattered, green ooze spreads out to a 15-foot diameter circle that lasts for 10 minutes before dissolving. When a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 1d4 acid damage for every 5 feet it travels.

Contortionist

Through training or talent, you are adept at maneuvering out of holds and grapples. You gain the following benefits:

• Increase your Dexterity by +1 to a maximum of 20.
• You may claim advantage on any checks made to resist becoming grappled.
• In addition, once per short rest, you may claim advantage on any single saving throw made to resist becoming restrained either through physical means such as rope, chains, or manacles or via spell effect such as the hold person spell. This effect resets after a short rest.

Conversations of Death

You have an uncanny knack of determining the health of any living being. This is intuitive knowledge that you subconsciously calculate to determine how easily a prey might fall.

• Increase your Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• On a successful Medicine check (DC = 8 + the creature’s challenge rating), you can determine how many hit points a living creature has remaining.
• On an opposed Insight check, you can determine the Challenge Rating of any being.

Prerequisite(s): Hoyrall, 12th level

• If you attack with more than 3 weapons via your Multi-Armed racial feature instead of with more than 2, melee attacks against you gain advantage until your next turn.
• You may wield more than one two-handed weapon. Wielding two two-handed weapon counts as wielding 4 weapons for the purpose of Multi-Armed.

Prerequisite(s): Sin 13

Exercise and starvation utterly failed to affect your weight gain, the very evil of your soul accruing more and more flesh around your body—much of it is dead and rotting but you’ve lost all feeling in those nerves.

• Your Constitution increases by 2.
• Whenever you take damage, you take 1 less damage.
• Traveling over long distances is particularly exhausting for you.

At the end of a long rest after journeying, if you traveled at a pace faster than Slow for more than 2 hours make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. If you traveled at a Fast pace, you make this saving throw with disadvantage. On a failure, you gain 1 level of exhaustion.

Corrupting Influence

Something within you brings out the worst in people, driving them to excel at greed, violence, and bearing false witness. Creatures within 10 feet of you experience the following effects:

• When a creature within range makes a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to steal from another creature, it does so with advantage.
• When acreature within range rolls damage for an attack, it can reroll one of the damage dice and use either roll.
• When a creature within range makes a Charisma (Deception) check to use deceit to implicate or otherwise condemn another creature to punishment or penalty, it does so with disadvantage.

Counterstriker

You can use this feature twice and can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Courage

You are courageous even in the face of otherworldly horror, and your courage inspires others.

• You gain 2 courage dice, which are d4s. When you or an ally misses on an attack roll, you may use your reaction and spend a courage die to add the amount rolled to the attack roll, which can make the attack hit. If the attack hits, also add the amount rolled to the damage dealt by the attack. You regain all expended courage dice when you finish a short or long rest.
• You can take this feat up to three times. The second time you take it, both of your courage dice increase from 1d4 to 1d8; the third time, they increase from 1d8 to 1d12.

Cure Self

You recover faster than others.

Note Infernal feats are first gained by taking the Infernal Pact feat. This feat ties a character to a Circle’s particular lord. If the character is not from that Circle, the Circle is considered his “home” Circle from that point on. The feats available to a character are determined by his home Circle—a character cannot take infernal feats that are not listed as tied to a Circle.

• Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Curse Item

This feat allows evil clerics (or other spellcasters) to purposefully create innocuous-looking magic items that unleash devastating consequences on the possessor.

Prerequisite(s): Must be capable of casting spells

Whether as a trap, or to punish a particularly poorly performing underling, cursing magical items is a time-honored tradition for evil spellcasters. When you create a magical item instead of spending the full cost for that item you can spend half that cost and create a cursed version of the item.

You may choose a specific cursed item or you may create a new cursed item with one of the following effects:

• User has disadvantages on all skills, saves, and ability checks for one ability score
• User has vulnerability to one type of damage
