Shifter Racial Guidelines Basic Traits Racial Traits Shifter Shifters are sometimes called weretouched, as they are descendants of humans who contracted full or partial lycanthropy. Humanoids with a bestial aspect, shifters can’t fully change shape, but they can temporarily enhance their animalistic features by entering a state they call shifting. Shifters are similar to humans in height and build but are typically more lithe and flexible. Their facial features have a bestial cast, often with large eyes and pointed ears; most shifters also have prominent canine teeth. They grow fur-like hair on nearly every part of their bodies. While a shifter’s appearance might remind an onlooker of an animal, they remain clearly identifiable as shifters even when at their most feral, resembling a particular kind of lycanthrope.

Dhampir Racial Guidelines Basic Traits Racial Traits Dhampir Poised between the worlds of the living and the dead, dhampirs retain their grip on life yet are endlessly tested by vicious hungers. Their ties to the undead grant dhampir a taste of a vampire's deathless prowess in the form of dark vision and innate abilities. Every dhampir knows a thirst slaked only by the living. Those who overindulge their thirst risk losing control and forever viewing others as prey. Those who resist might find exceptional ways of controlling their urges or suppress them through constant, molar-grinding restraint. In any case, temptation haunts dhampirs, and circumstances conspire to give them endless reason to indulge. All dhampirs have red eyes regardless of race due to their cursed origin and all are human, and all are born as dhampirs rather than being created. To play, press and hold the enter key.

Racial Guidelines Homelands Spread around Faerun Deities As per original race Enmity Any that treat them poorly Affinity Hexbloods Reborn Tieflings Notable Features Partially undead, pale complexion, keen senses, heightened reflexes, unwilling thirst for blood (but detest feeding), often brooding and mysterious, socially isolated, omnivorous with preference for rare or fresh meats Advanced Race Expectations Dhampirs should not be played as a "daywalking" vampire. Characters of this nature tend to devalue both the characters and effort put in by those with an actual vampirism affliction. While Dhampirs do not need to viscerally hate Vampires, there must be some hostility within their interactions. Dhampirs should have a clear struggle and internal conflict with drinking blood and being associated with Vampirism.

While climbing a surface you may only make a single melee attack against a target within 1 tile (regardless of your own reach). If you take any other action (such as casting a spell, or swapping weapons) you fall to the ground below and are subject to the usual fall damage.

Conquest System Conquest System Unity, power, freedom - desired by all, attained by few. With Halcyon's conquest system, you embark on a journey with your fellow allies. Through diplomacy, clashing of swords, and adventuring, you find yourselves climbing the ladder to greatness. Will you heed the call? organizations Organizations are created to serve their own interests within the region. Following the wake of the war with New Ascalhorn, and the destruction of the Far Forest things have begun to settle. Settlements rise and progress resumes. Player organizations come in two types: Control and Support. Each with different agendas and perks. Only a limited number of each organization can exist at any given time. To create an Organization you must meet the following requirements: Have at least 5 active members. A clear Leader and Co-Leader. Application completed with sufficient goals, agreeing to server expectations, list of active members, and any relevant information necessary. A clear independence from any other Organization. Their own goals, and ambitions. Puppet organizations/sister organizations will not be allowed. Strategic Points Across the region are several strategic points that are maintained for their resources. The Mine, Hunting Lodge, Farmstead, Logging Camp, and Arcane Tower all serve to provide the holder with Iron Ore, Animal Hides, Basic Herbs, Basic Logs, or Arcane residue respectively. Strategic Points may only be held by Control Organizations. Each Strategic Point may hold a maximum of 10 Supplies at a time which can be contributed by anyone. Once per day, a member of the controlling Organization can start production between the hours of 18:00 UTC (1pm EST) and 04:00 UTC (9pm EST). This is indicated by the point turning blue. Once production has started, the point will turn yellow. At this stage the controlling organization and their allies (they do not need to be in the organization) must defend the point for up to one hour. If another group arrives they may contest the point and declare PvP to a maximum of a 5v5. The rules of Even and Reasonable Odds do not apply here. Once the PvP is concluded, or the timer completes without contest, the point may be interacted with to claim the resources and Marks of Conquest. Each Supply will rewards 40 basic resources, and 5 Marks of Conquests as a reward. (4 Arcane Residue and 5 Marks of Conquest for the Arcane Tower) Supplies To fuel your efforts, supplies will be needed to start production on Strategic Points. Purchase upgrades for Settlements, or declare sieges on controlled points. Supplies can only be created by Support Organizations. Supplies are created by taking crafted goods and packaging them into crates to be distributed for another Organization's efforts. Each Support Organization will have a supply cache where they can contribute goods. Each holding their own point value based on crafting cost. Once a supply cache has at least ten points it can be used to create a Basic Supply. Each Support Organization can create up to 10 supplies each week. The point value for goods is as follows: Blacksmithing Goods Dagger (1) Pickaxe (1) Sickle (1) Spear (2) Battleaxe (2) Craftsman Goods Wooden Club (1) Staff (2) Whip (2) Belt (1) Boots (1) Gloves (1) Hat (1) Robes (3) apothecary Goods Potion of Climbing (2) Potion of Growth (4) Potion of Vitality (5) Potion of Speed (6) Each Support Organization may trade and disturb their supplies as they see fit. Control Events Conquest will follow a two week cycle of attack/defense. During week 1, all Control Organizations will need to provide a roster of up to five participants that are actively garrisoned at each point. If the point is sieged during that cycle only those who are rostered at a point may take part in its defense. Participants may only be garrisoned at a single point each cycle. At the same time, Control Organizations seeking to claim a strategic point will need to declare their bid to do so during week 1. They must dedicate a number of supplies to commit to the attack. In the case of multiple Control Organizations seeking to attack the same point, the Organization that declared the highest number of supplies is given the chance to attack. If there is a tie on the declaration each organization shall be given one follow up opportunity to bid their supplies again. Once rostering and attacks are settled, both organizations will be given until the end of week 2 to organize their event. Organization Leadership will be brought into a battleground channel to a facilitate this. In the event of being unable to come to a mutually acceptable time attackers will be given priority. If a defense is not settled by the start of the next weekly cycle. Defenders forfeit their point. Caravan Events Across the region several caravans have been arriving to supply the conquest benefactors who have established themselves in the Oasis. Both by land, and water materials arrive and require unloading to reach their destination. These benefactors have reached out to the various groups and organizations within the area for assistance getting these supplies to them. Every day, between the hours of 18:00 UTC (1pm EST) and 04:00 UTC (9pm EST) the caravans will randomly activate. This is indicated by the point turning blue. Anyone may arrive and begin to unload the supplies for their own means. Once started, the point will turn yellow. At this stage the group and their allies (they do not need to be in an organization) must defend the point for up to one hour. If another group arrives they may contest the point and declare PvP to a maximum of the labelled maximum on the point itself. The rules of Even and Reasonable Odds do not apply here unless the point is a Flex point. All Caravans will either be 3v3 battles, or Flex. Flex means you may bring up to 5 players, but will be expected to respect Even Odds and adjust to 4, or 3 depending on the arriving attackers or set defenders. Rewards Once the PvP is concluded, or the timer completes without contest, the point may be interacted with to claim 1-2 Advanced Supplies and 6 Spoils of Conquest. Advanced Supplies may be returned to the Conquest Camp at the Oasis for 2 Spoils of Conquest each, or kept and broken down into 2 Basic Supplies for one's own selfish needs. Scouting Events In an effort to guard against the return of old threats. The conquest benefactors within the Oasis have enlisted the aid of individuals and small teams to scout out key locations around the area and report back their findings. While others find these as great opportunities to square off against their own foes within the region. Every day, between the hours of 18:00 UTC (1pm EST) and 04:00 UTC (9pm EST) the scouting locations will randomly activate. This is indicated by the point turning blue. Anyone may arrive and begin to scout the area. Once started, the point will turn yellow. At this stage the group and their allies (they do not need to be in an organization) must defend the point for up to one hour. If another group arrives they may contest the point and declare PvP to a maximum of the labelled maximum on the point itself. The rules of Even and Reasonable Odds do not apply here. Rewards Once the PvP is concluded, or the timer completes without contest, the point may be interacted with to claim 4 Spoils of Conquest.

Firbolg Racial Guidelines Basic Traits Racial Traits Firbolg Distant cousins of giants, the first firbolgs wandered the primeval forests of the multiverse, and the magic of those forests entwined itself within the firbolgs' souls. Centuries later, that magic still thrums inside a firbolg, even one who has never lived under the boughts of a great forest. A firbolg's magic is an obscuring sort, which allowed their ancestors to pass through a forest without disturbing it.

You serve to empower other undead creatures in their fight against the living, proving to be a tool for vengeance and carnage alike. So long as your soul remains, your war never ends. Whether you underwent this ritual of your own choosing to empower yourself or were forced to rise as a Soul-Wight by another. Your soul resides within a Soul Coin that remains in your possession or in the hands of another. Whoever holds it controls your destiny.

CLASS FAQ Storylines and DMNPC Encounters Within the world of Faerun, there are many gods, goddess, and tenets that the faithful follow absolutely. Here you will find class and race expectations for a multitude of situations you will find within Halcyon. Cleric Storylines and DMNPC Encounters Clerics must be dedicated to the service of an individual deity within our approved Forgotten Realms pantheon. Additionally your Clerical Domain must match with your chosen deities portfolio. For example a cleric of Selune cannot be a Death Domain Cleric. As such you are always under the watchful eye and scrutiny of your deity. Meaning you must follow their tenets, preachings, and otherwise represented their wishes on the material plane. Failure to do this will result in warning. Extreme cases or ones where forgiveness is not sought will result in the character be swapped to level 8 fighter and barred from returning to their particular clergy again. Clerical Expulsion When there is substantial evidence that one has gone against their deity's convictions, they are subject to being pulled into disputes. The player will be given a list of what exactly was broken in regards to their deities tenets and will receive a stacking Shaken debuff depending on the severity of their actions. The player will be required to do a one week check in with screenshots of their roleplay. They will need to show how they are affected by breaking the laws of their deity throughout this week. There must be signs of penance given to their actions and how they are realizing and changing their ways to hold themselves accountable and for their deity to bestow them once more. If the player has gone against their deity's tenets to the point they receive four stacks of the Shaken debuff, they will be immediately stripped. Each week of penance must be focused on one aspect of the Cleric's specific convictions that was broken and must show how that has been amended. Staff will read these over after it is submitted via a DM ticket. The player will be given a warning for the future at this time and the debuff will be removed if penance is accepted. If the same laws or convictions of the deity are broken again, or the Cleric has not cleared any of their Shaken stacks in a reasonable amount of time, the Cleric is liable to be stripped. Paladin Storylines and DMNPC Encounters All Paladins must adhere to the tenets of their given oath. These are all listed under each subclass' appropriate section. For example, an Oath of Glory Paladin believes in facing hardships with courage and encouraging others to do so. Meaning you are likely not to see one surrender a fight or run away just because things have gotten tough. Paladins who go against the beliefs of their oath will receive a warning. Continued failure to meet the expectation for one's chosen subclass will result in the character losing access to their paladin abilities and becoming a level 8 fighter. Paladin Expulsion When there is substantial evidence that one has gone against their tenets, they are subject to being pulled into disputes. The player will be given a list of what exactly was broken in regards to their Oath and will receive a stacking Shaken debuff depending on the severity of their actions. The player will be required to do a one week check in with screenshots of their roleplay. They will need to show how they are affected by breaking their tenets, throughout this week. There must be signs of penance given to their actions and how they are realizing and changing their ways to hold themselves accountable. If the player has broken multiple tenets, each week of penance must be focused on one tenet and must show how that tenet has been amended. Staff will read these over after it is submitted via a DM ticket. The player will be given a warning for the future at this time and the debuff will be removed if penance is accepted. If the same tenets are broken again, or the Paladin has not cleared any of their Shaken stacks in a reasonable amount of time, the Paladin is liable to be stripped. Oathbreaker When one has gone against their tenets for a substantial amount of time, they are liable to walk the path of the Oathbreaker. For those that have broken their oath, they may choose to go against any form of penance, and instead continue the path of selfish gain. The player must show a reasonable amount of roleplay that shows the corruption of prior tenets. They will need to show how they are affected by the dissolution of their tenets, and story elements that show justification for doing so. Each week, the player wishing to go through this process will submit their roleplay via a DM ticket. Each week must be focused on one tenet and must show how that tenet has been corrupted. Staff will read these over after it is submitted. If you receive Shaken debuffs for breaking your tenets without the explicit intention for Oathbreaker process, you will first have to go through penance for all of the stacks accrued and you will have to restart this process over again. The player will be given feedback for the future at this time as well as another stack of the Shaken debuff. This process will continue until all four tenets have been corrupted. After a successful narrative journey, the subclass will be approved and an Oathbreaker will be created. Please inquire in a DM ticket for more information on this process. Afflictions Storylines and DMNPC Encounters Players with afflictions are expected to be notable members of the community, and help drive narrative. This includes players who have been turned through IC means. Each affliction has listed drawbacks that should be adhered to at all times and followed within the spirit of their design. For example, vampires should still avoid the sun despite it not instantly destroying them as a roleplay concession. And should constantly crave blood and seek it out despite us generally not enforcing a strict policy on feeding. Lycanthropes should adhere to full moons and actively go into a blood-crazed state during them. Not only attacking their friends, or being caged up through the entire event. As an afflicted, you will be expected to be a driving force to cause a wider narrative that coincides with expectations of the affliction. They are intended to engage with the community at large in various aspects. While intrigue and diplomacy is an important part of their existence, there will always be a need for more. For vampires this is the eternal conflict to accrue blood by any means necessary, usually by taking it in combat. For lycanthropes the inner rage and fury that they have, which culminates in the Full Moon, usually also is only calmed by mauling in combat. Even if they are sating themselves in private company, that will eventually be insufficient, and they'll find themselves out prowling. While afflictions are not exclusively combat driven, many of their tendencies and needs revolve around conflict in some manner, and you will be expected to adhere to these expectations. Failure to be respectful towards other players, or follow the intention of your affliction can result in it being removed. Bites and Repercussions Players may find True Vampires or Greater Werewolves at their leisure to extend narratives as well as proffer for bites. When a bite is given to a character, subsequent roleplay will be submitted into a DM ticket. There, it will be reviewed and approved or denied. While it is being voted on by Staff, a bitten character will have a debuff called Cursed (III). This works similar to Death’s Door. You are weakened by the ancient curse coursing through your veins, and as such you will be expected to roleplay as if you are in an exhausted and feeble state as your body tries to fight, or submit, to the curse. After your application is approved or denied, the debuff will be removed. You may not roleplay as if you are already turned during the application process. Afflicted Commendations Every afflicted character gains the ability to use /commend [Player] to issue out a reward as thanks for their roleplay with another player. This is a show of gratitude, and reward for engaging with the afflicted player in a constructive and helpful manner. It is entirely at the discretion of the afflicted player if, and whom they give their commendation to each week if any. Every Afflicted Character will receive the ability to give 1 Commendation per weekly reset. Each player may only receive 1 Commendation per weekly reset. Afflicted characters may not receive Commendations. The roleplay leading up to commending another player must focus on the use of the affliction. For example you cannot have a nice time in a tavern with someone, and award them a Commendation without roleplay surrounding your Vampirism or Lycanthropy. Additionally: You may not give your Commendation to a member of your Clan or a known OOC associate. This is at staff's discretion. You may not give your Commendation to the same character week after week. These should ideally be spread and encourage branching out per your affliction guidelines. Any attempt to circumvent the spirit of the system in any manner will result in a retirement of the afflicted character and a prevention from using any such systems going forward. Commendations may be exchanged with a Bard NPC in the Wharf for a selection of rewards. Guild Reputation, Loot Table Rolls, or Marks of Service. Application Activity Storylines and DMNPC Encounters Due to the demand for these slots, there will be check-ins for Afflictions and Limited Application Slots every 4 weeks. If you are not in compliance with activity, limits and expectations of the given race or affliction you will be subject to being ticketed to be informed the character will be auto-shelved. You will lose all progress that requires screenshots- equipment, languages, researches, ect- as well as the whitelisted role. You will also be required to re-whitelist a new character. If there is an elongated time you will be off Halcyon- vacation, sickness, ect- then please open a Moderation Ticket to alert Staff.

Duergar Racial Guidelines Basic Traits Racial Traits Duergar Duergar are dwarves whose ancestors were transformed by centuries living in the deepest places of the Underdark. That chthonic realm is saturated with strange magical energy, and over generations, early duergar absorbed traces of it. They were further altered when mind flayers and other Aberrations invaded and performed horrific experiments on them. Fueled by Underdark magic, those experiments left early duergar with psionic powers, which have been passed down to their descendants. In time, they liberated themselves from their aberrant tyrants and forged a new life for themselves in the Underdark and beyond. Physically similar to other dwarves in some ways, duergar are wiry and lean, with black eyes and bald heads, with the males growing long, unkempt, gray beards. Duergar value toil above all else. Showing emotions other than grim determination or wrath is frowned on in their culture, but they can sometimes seem joyful when at work. They have the typical dwarven appreciation for order, tradition, and impeccable craftsmanship, but their goods are purely utilitarian, disdaining aesthetic or artistic value.

Acolyte Cloistered Scholar Criminal / Spy Failed Merchant Fisher Folk Hero Entertainer Investigator Noble Outlander Sage Soldier Urchin Acolyte You have spent your life in the service of a temple to a specific god or pantheon of gods. You act as an intermediary between the realm of the holy and the mortal world, performing sacred rites and offering sacrifices in order to conduct worshipers into the presence of the divine. You are not necessarily a cleric—performing sacred rites is not the same thing as channeling divine power. Were you a lesser functionary in a temple, raised from childhood to assist the priests in the sacred rites? Or were you a high priest who suddenly experienced a call to serve your god in a different way? Perhaps you were the leader of a small cult outside of any established temple structure, or even an occult group that served a fiendish master that you now deny. Skill Bonus +2 Insight, +2 Religion Cloistered Scholar As a child, you were inquisitive when your playmates were possessive or raucous. In your formative years, you found your way to one of the great institutes of learning , where you were apprenticed and taught that knowledge is a more valuable treasure than gold or gems. Now you are ready to leave your home—not to abandon it, but to quest for new lore to add to its storehouse of knowledge. The most well known of Faerûn’s fonts of knowledge is Candlekeep. The great library is always in need of workers and attendants, some of whom rise through the ranks to assume roles of greater responsibility and prominence. You might be one of Candlekeep’s own, dedicated to the curatorship of what is likely the most complete body of lore and history in all the world. Perhaps instead you were taken in by the scholars of the Vault of the Sages or the Map House in Silverymoon, and now you have struck out to increase your knowledge and to make yourself available to help those in other places who seek your expertise. You might be one of the few who aid Herald’s Holdfast, helping to catalogue and maintain records of the information that arrives daily from across Faerûn. Skill Bonus +2 History, +2 Nature Criminal / Spy You are an experienced criminal with a history of breaking the law. You have spent a lot of time among other criminals and still have contacts within the criminal underworld. You’re far closer than most people to the world of murder, theft, and violence that pervades the underbelly of civilization, and you have survived up to this point by flouting the rules and regulations of society. Skill Bonus +2 Deception, +2 Stealth Failed Merchant Maybe you come from a long line of merchants. Perhaps you were an entrepreneur. Regardless, your ventures ended poorly. Whether it was because of outside influences, bad luck, or simply because your business acumen was weak, you lost everything. With failure, however, comes experience. You’re free of that old life, having made some connections and learned your lessons. Prepared to pursue the life of an adventurer, your insight into the world of commerce brought you into the sphere of Acquisitions Incorporated — and a franchise just might be in your future. Skill Bonus +2 I nvestigation, +2 Persuasion Fisher You have spent your life aboard fishing vessels or combing the shallows for the bounty of the ocean. Perhaps you were born into a family of fisher folk, working with your kin to feed your village. Maybe the job was a means to an end — a way out of an undesirable circumstance that forced you to take up life aboard a ship. Regardless of how you began, you soon fell in love with the sea, the art of fishing, and the promise of the eternal horizon.

Perhaps you’re motivated by belief in the law and a sense of universal justice, or maybe that very law has failed you and you seek to make things right. You could have witnessed something remarkable or terrible, and now you must know more about this hidden truth. Or maybe you’re a detective for hire, uncovering secrets for well-paying clients.

You carry a noble title, and your family owns land, collects taxes, and wields significant political influence. You might be a pampered aristocrat unfamiliar with work or discomfort, a former merchant just elevated to the nobility, or a disinherited scoundrel with a disproportionate sense of entitlement. Or you could be an honest, hard-working landowner who cares deeply about the people who live and work on your land, keenly aware of your responsibility to them. Your family could be old and established, or only recently established. How much influence they wield, what kind of reputation your family has, and how the common people regards them is up to you within reason.

Blood Hunter Class Features Blood Curses Ghostslayer Lycan Mutant Profane Soul Far from the judging eyes of society, blood hunters have mastered the secretive techniques of hemocraft, finding blood magic’s esoteric nature effective against evils that resist divine rebuke or arcane bindings. Through careful study and practice, blood hunters hone the rites of hemocraft into unique combat techniques, forfeiting a portion of their own health to call blood curses down upon their enemies or summon the elements to aid their strikes. Willing to suffer whatever it takes to achieve victory, these adept warriors have forged themselves into a potent force dedicated to protecting the innocent. Whether driven by the wish to make a difference, the need to take vengeance, or the hope of finding a place to belong in an uncaring world, every blood hunter has their own reasons for undertaking the ritual of the Hunter’s Bane that starts them on this path. In joining an order of blood hunters, one also joins a family bound by service to each other and a common cause. For many, this might be the only family they have left—or have ever known—making the kinship felt between blood hunters an all-but-unbreakable bond. In choosing this path, every blood hunter irrevocably gives a part of themself to their cause—physically, emotionally, and sometimes morally. Each order of blood hunters practices its own ideals and methods, often employing techniques with dark origins that test the strength and will of those who employ them. Many wrestle with the fear of losing this struggle. And so a life of discipline and vigilance drives a blood hunter’s travels as they wander the countryside, in search of like-minded adventurers and whispers of dark deeds afoot. Applications: Closed Limited Slots Blood Hunter Subclasses Class Features Basics Base Hit Points: 64 Hit Points per Advancement: 13 Actions: 2 Attack, 1 Bonus, 1 Reaction Blood Curses: Level 8: +1 Level 10: +2 (3) Casting Attribute: Intelligence or Wisdom Startin g Kit Shortsword Shield Chain Shirt Proficiencies Armor: Light armor, medium armor, shields Weapons: Simple weapons, martial weapons Saving Throws: Dexterity, Intelligence Skills: Arcana, Investigation Proficiency Bonus: Level 8: +2 Level 10: +1 (3) Level 12: +1 (4) Hunter's Bane After surviving the Hunter’s Bane, a painful, scarring, and sometimes fatal ritual required to become a bloodhunter -- your body is empowered to c ontrol and shape hemocraft magic, using your own blood and life essence to fuel your rites and blood curses. You are immune to vampirism, and your blood is considered both toxic and inert to vampires, granting them no benefit when feeding upon you by any means. Becoming any form of Undead will render your blood inert, returning you to a base class Fighter. Crimson Rite You learn to invoke a rite of hemocraft that infuses your weapon strikes with elemental energy; causing them to deal an additional 1d8 damage matching the element. As a bonus action once per combat, you can activate a rite on the weapon you are holding which lasts for the duration of said combat. When you activate a rite, you take 1d8 necrotic damage. This damage cannot be reduced in any way. You may choose fire, cold, or lightning damage for your rite. Brand of Castigation When you damage a creature with your active Crimson Rite you can channel hemocraft magic to sear an arcane brand into that creature. You always know the direction to the branded creation so long as it remains on the same plane as you. Each time the branded creature deals damage to you, or a creature within within .5 tiles of you, the creature takes 1d8 psychic damage. This damage may only be applied once per turn. Brand of Tethering Requires Level 12 Creatures branded by your brand of castigation must make a Wisdom Saving Throw when they attempt to teleport or leave its current plane by any means. On a failure the attempt to teleport or leave the plane fails and the target takes 4d6 psychic damage. On a success the target takes 2d6 psychic damage. Blood Hunter Order Each blood hunter commits to an order of blood hunters whose philosophy will guide them throughout their life: the Order of the Ghostslayer, the Order of the Lycan, the Order of the Mutant, or the Order of the Profane Soul, each of which is detailed below. These will be unlocked at Level 10 and reach their full potential at Level 12. Fighting Style You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the fighting styles from the Feats page. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again. Class Expectations All Blood Hunters have undergone the Hunter's Bane in the past, enabling their hemomancy. This pro cess has an extremely high level of mortality and leaves those who survive with some sort of physical, emotional or moral piece of them removed. It is only undergone by those who atleast a t one point in their lives truly wished and are/were willing to die for their specific cause. All Blood Hunters should have some level of obligation to their duty, and in some cases honor. An Order of the Lycan Blood Hunter would be shamed by being cured of Lycanthropy, and would often happily go through the taming ritual again and be re-cursed to reattain it while striving towards using their abilities for good. A Ghostslayer Blood Hunter is always going to be at the very, very least weary and watchful of even the most seemingly harmless undead while a majority loyal to their order will be zealous enough to want to destroy them on the spot. Ontop of this, all Blood Hunters at their core will hold some part of their Orders to be vigilant against evil and life threatening beings of all kinds. Blood Hunters who instead embrace, accept and work with those that oppose their order's beliefs are subject to a warning and ultimately a character retirement if they continue to push the bounds of the class fantasy without an proper, extremely good roleplay reason to do so. Blood Curses After surviving the Hunter's Bane, your blood becomes active towards the use of hemomancy, including versatile rites and curses to give you an edge over your foe. These are replenished once per Short Rest. Level 8 Level 10 Level 12 Blood Curse of Bloated Agony Blood Curse of the Eyeless Blood Curse of the Bloated Agony A s a bonus action with a cost of 1 class resource and 1d8 damage to yourself, you curse a creature that you can see within 4.5 tiles of you.

Blood Curse of the Fallen Puppet Blood of the Fallen Puppet When a creature you can see within 4.5 tiles of you drops to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction and 1 class resource to instill that creature with a final act of aggression. The creature may willingly accept the curse, or try to resist it, making a Wisdom Saving Throw (DC 8 + Spell Bonus). On a save success, it falls in combat as normally. On fail or willful accept, the creature immediately takes it's most aggressive possible single attack or cantrip on a target of your choice.

Subclass: Order of the Ghostslayer The Order of the Ghostslayer is the oldest of the blood hunter orders, its members having originally rediscovered the secrets of hemocraft and refined them for combat against the scourge of undeath. Ghostslayers seek out and study the moment of death, obsessing over the mystery of the transition from life, and the unholy power that can cause the dead to rise once more. These zealous blood hunters make it their life’s work to destroy the scourge of undeath wherever it is found, tuning their abilities to engage undead creatures and those who manipulate the necromancy that creates them. Bon us Proficiencies Skills: Perception Blood Curses: Level 8: +1 (4) (Curse Specialist) Rite of the Dawn Rite of the Dawn is applied whenever you use your Crimson Rite feature.

The creature that charmed, frightened, or possessed the target takes 3d6 psychic damage and must succeed on a Wisdom Saving Throw (DC 8 + Spell Bonus) or be stunned until the end of their next turn. Subclass: Order of the Lycan The ancient curse of lycanthropy is feared by nearly all peoples and cultures, passed through blood and seeding a host with the savage strength and hunger for violence of a wicked beast. The Order of the Lycan is a proud group of blood hunters who undergo “the Taming”—the ceremonial infliction of lycanthropy by a senior member of the order, for those who do not already carry the curse before seeking this path. These hunters then use the magic of their blood to harness the power of the monster they harbor, without losing themselves to it. Using intense will and secret blood magic rituals, members of the Order of the Lycan learn to control and unleash their hybrid forms for short periods of time. Enhanced physical prowess, unnatural resilience, and razor-sharp claws make these warriors a terrible foe to any evil that crosses their path. Yet no training is perfect, and without care and complete focus, even the greatest of blood hunters can temporarily lose themselves to their own hunger. As lycanthropy will not take to Dhampir, this subclass cannot be chosen by Dhampir. Bonus P roficiencies Skills: Athletics Attack Bonus (While Transformed) Level 10: +2 Hybrid Transformation You can tap into the Curse of Lycanthropy to unfurl a hybrid form twice per day, increasing Attack Bonus by 2, granting 1d6+stat unarmed attacks for main and offhand, and 1+con regeneration below 50hp.You may use your crimson rite to apply it to both of your claws as one weapon, if you have not already used it. Regardless of if you are in this form or not, you have vulnerability to silver weapons, which will deal 2d6 more damage to you and nullify your regeneration until your next turn. Blood Curse of the Howl Requires Level 12 As an action with a cost of 1 class resource and 1d8 damage to yourself, you unleash a blood curdling howl. All creatures within' 6 tiles of you that can hear you must make a Wisdom Saving Throw (DC 8 + Spell Bonus). On a failed save, a creature is stunned until the end of their next turn or frightened on a successful one. Cannot be cast when silenced, and does not affect those who are silenced. Subclass: Order of the Mutant The process of undertaking the Hunter’s Bane ritual is a painful, scarring, and sometimes fatal experience. Those who survive are irrevocably changed—and not always for the better. Over generations of experimentation, a splinter order of blood hunters honed the way in which hemocraft alters the body, using corrupted alchemy and toxic elixirs to alter their blood even further. Over time, they have modified their capabilities in battle, becoming something beyond what they once were. Calling themselves the Order of the Mutant, these blood hunters now specialize in assessing the strengths and weaknesses of their foes, altering their biology to be best prepared for any conflict. Bonus Proficie ncies Skills: Acrobatics Mutagens Level 10: +2 Level 12: +2 (4) Strange Metabolism Your body adapts to toxins and venoms, ignoring their corrupting effects. You gain resistance to poison damage and the poisoned condition. Brand of Axiom As a reaction, and at the cost of 1 class resource, enemies affected by Brand of Castigation cannot go invisible, or utilize illusions against you. If the creature has shape changed in the combat (including pre-buff phase), it must succeed a Wisdom saving throw DC (8 + Spell Bonus) or revert to it's true form.

They must also succeed on a Constitution Saving Throw (DC 8 + Spell Bonus) or become poisoned until properly cured by the appropriate means. Subclass: Order of the Profane Soul Blood hunters belonging to the Order of the Profane Soul have pushed the limits of hemocraft for use against some of the most terrifying creatures corrupting the world. Ancient fiends and cruel magic-users have long counted on their ability to meld into the background and escape those who hunt them, vanishing into noble courts without a trace, or bending the minds of the most stalwart warriors with but a glance. So the blood hunters who founded this order trusted to their resilience as they delved into the same well of corrupting arcane knowledge, making pacts with lesser evils to better combat the greater threats. And though they might have traded a part of themselves for their power, the members of this order know the benefits of that power far outweigh the price. Bonus P roficiencies Skills: Deception Mystic Frenzy When you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can immediately make one weapon attack as a bonus action (1d20 + Attack Bonus vs AC).

Flavor Spells The following spells are included in the sorcerer's repertoire, however; these spells cannot be used in combat and do not consume a spell slot. They are only to be used to enrich the narrative of your roleplay. For spells that involve affecting another person, they should be treated as social rolls. They are fully consent based and cannot be used to force an outcome in a roleplay scenario. Some are available to a newly created character (Level 8) and others are unlocked at Level 10. Level 8 Control Flames Mage Hand Minor Illusion Prestidigitation Illusory Script Control Flames Transmutation 1 Action S You choose nonmagical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways: You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location. You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube. You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour. You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action. Minor Illus ion Illusion 1 Action S, M You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again. If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. If you create an image of an object--such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest--it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation ) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. Mage Han d Conjuration 1 Action V, S A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again. You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it. The hand can't attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. Prestidigitation Transmutation 1 Action V, S This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range: You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor. You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot. You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour. You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour. You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action. Illusory Script Illusion 1 Minute S, M You write on parchment, paper, or some other suitable writing material and imbue it with a potent illusion that lasts for the duration. To you and any creatures you designate when you cast the spell, the writing appears normal, written in your hand, and conveys whatever meaning you intended when you wrote the text. To all others, the writing appears as if it were written in an unknown or magical script that is unintelligible. Alternatively, you can cause the writing to appear to be an entirely different message, written in a different hand and language, though the language must be one you know. Should the spell be dispelled, the original script and the illusion both disappear. A creature with truesight can read the hidden message.
