Born from the union of mortal and vampire, dhampirs ‘come into the world infused with undead power but alive. Dhampirs typically cannot sire or bear children themselves although there are rare exceptions to this, \ypically aided by powerful magic. Although dhampirs share much in common they do vary based on the supernatural nature of their vampiric parent. One Foor IN THE GRAVE Dhampirs straddle the line between life and death. ‘There mystical relation to undeath gives them resilience against poison and necromantic energies but they still feel the blush of life as keenly as any other mortal race. Dhampirs tend to be fascinated with mortality In some ceases this compels a dampir to take up the life of an adventurer, risking her life on a nightly basis just for the thrill, In other cases it auses a dhampir to cloister himself away from the world studiously working 10 conquer his own mortality Tue Lire NOCTURNAL While the sun is not as offensive to dhampirs as it is to their vampiric parent, dhampirs nevertheless prefer the dim light and darkness of night to the harsh sunlight, Their aversion to sunlight is so typical that the highly superstitious or untrusting might assume that a dhampir isa vampire itself. Unlike their vampiric parents, dhampirs do not need to use the cover of darkness to carry out predation on the mortal population so instead ‘many dhampirs are acquaint themselves with the local nightlife and criminal organizations that operate largely in the evenings and wee hours of the morning. $y BLOODLINE BROKEN When a vampire passes down his blood to a dhampir child he passes along the curse that runs through his veins as well. Although more obscure curses certainly cexist the three main curses that afllict vampires are the Curse of Nobility the Curse of the Feral, and the Curse ‘of Dread. Amongst dhampirs these translate to the Dreadblood, Feralblood, and Nobleblood, Dreadblood dhampirs inspire terror and creeping melancholy in those around them and so tend to take up lives of study where they can hide away from others. Feralblood dhampirs connect the bestial side ‘of vampirism and are bora warriors and feel most alive when taking a life, Nobleblood dhampirs possess an ‘unnatural charisma and hypnotic presence that they ‘employ to build small communities and cults to their name and live off the hard work of others.

THE POWER OF SPIRIT Witches may or may not have a level of respect for the spirits they bind, though one could say they should. Some witches tap into the residual energies of long-departed souls, while others use extant spiritual beings as conduits for their spell- casting. Either way and whether or not they wish, witches bind part of their own soul to those that surround them. Witch spells mostly deal with manipulation of spiritual energies (both living and dead) and pro- tections against the beings with supply those en. ergies.

They | see other witches as brothers and sisters, and, other classes as close cousins. As a conse- quence, witches are often fond of forming alli ances. One kind of alliance is the circle that a witch belongs to. The circle that a witch joins is the manifesta- tion of a philosophy regarding the nature of spir- its. Some, like the circle of power, believe in a su- preme energy that extends beyond the physical world, weaving together magic and the collective conscience of all living things. Others, from the circle of blood for example, believe in a more in- timate connection between the physical world, and the other side. In this philosophy, each soul is tied to something close to it in the physical world —a body, an object, or location that was important to it when it was alive, " CREATING A WITCH £ ‘When deciding on the witch class, think about what led your character to tap into the spirit” world. Maybe witchcraft is a tradition in the area, or your character comes from an area rife with a ghostly past. Superstition is also a good trigger for a fascination with spirits. What is your relationship with spirits? Is there am mutual respect? Perhaps your character feels more like a servant to the spirit th ‘way around, or maybe they possess the entitle- ment to dominate and extort spiritual beings. How did your character come to be an adven- turer? It could be that he or she was a pariah in their community due to contact with the other side, cast out and forced to fend for him or her- self. Perhaps your character is even haunted by a particular spirit, and seeks away to control or be rid of it. sure of he other : Burp |can make a witch quickly by following these suggestions.

CanTRIPS ‘You know two cantrips of your choice from the Witch spell list. You learn additional witch cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Witch table. PREPARING AND CASTING SPELLS ‘The Witch table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of Ist level and above. To cast one of these witch spells, you must expend a spell slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a ong rest. You prepare the list of witch spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the witch spell list. When you do so, choose a number of witch spells equal to your Charisma modifier + your witch level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of witch spells requires time spent in commu- jon and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. SPELLCASTING ABILITY Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your witch spells, since your magic comes from bar- gaining with spirits. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spelicasting abil ity. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a witch spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier RITUAL CASTING You can cast a witch spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell pre- pared. ‘SPELLCASTING Focus You can use an athame as a spellcasting focus for your witch spells. Alternatively, choose a focus that you feel would suit your character.QUICKENING At Ist level, you gain the ability to enter into an induced state known as the witch's quickening, letting you see what others ¢ this state by remaining still and concentrating.

Any action ends the quickening. In addition, you may add your proficiency bonus to Intelligence (Investigation) and Cha. risma (Persuasion) when dealing with spirits. WITCH CIRCLE At 2nd level you choose to join a circle of magic: the Circle of Power, the Circle of Blood, the Circle of Ruin, or the Circle of Shadows, detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level. BINDING RITES At 2nd level you can bind spirits to your service by performing certain rites. Binding a spirit is a full action. The number of spirits you may have bound at any time is limited as per the Bonds column on the witch class table. When you choose a spirit to bind from the list at the end of this class description, you “fill” one of your available spell slots with the spirit. The spell slot used is no longer available for casting spells, and it remains unavailable for as long as the spirit filling it remains bound to you. The spirit is said to be of a level equal to the spell slot filled to bind it. Thus, a Spirit of Passion occupy- ing a 6th level spell slot is a level 6 spirit. You cannot have more than one spirit with the same name bound at one time. Depending on the type of spirit, you gain cer- tain benefits while the spirit remains bound and an additional effect when you release the spirit, as detailed in the Binding Rites section. Releas- nnot. You can enter ing a spirit is a bonus action, although some spir- “ create a spirit ward as an action. The ward has a radius of 30 feet, centered on your location, and is stationary for its duration. While inside the ward, friendly creatures (yourself included) cannot be charmed, frightened, or possessed by undead and have resistance to all damage from \corporeal undead sources (inclucling the spiri- tual effects produced by other witches). Additionally, if friendly creature is reduced to Ohit points inside the ward but not killed out- right, the creature becomes stable. The ward. lasts 1 minute per level, or until you create an other ward ABILITY SCORE IMPROVEMENT When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1.

Once a spirithhas _/ é been released, it no longer provides its passive effect and the spell slot it occupied is considered expended, Spirit WARD One of the first abilities a witch learns is how to protect himself from spirits who may wish to harm him. At 3rd level, you gain the ability toSPIRITUAL SPELLCASTING At 7th level, you can call upon the spirits you have bound to help you cast your spells. You may dismiss a spirit or a number of spirits action to recover a single expended spell slot of a level no higher than the combined level of the spirits you dismissed. You may only use this spell slot for casting spells, and the release effects of the spirits you dismissed are not activated. a bonus CHANNEL SPELL Starting at 11th level, you can channel spells through the spirits you bind, wreaking havoc on spiritual enemies. Your spells affect enemies you are aware of who are incorporeal or on another plane of existence. STRENGTH OF SPIRIT At 15th level, you learn to sap additional forti. tude from the spirits you bind. You gain an in crease to your maximum hit points equal to the sum of the levels of each spirit you have bound. As long as these spirits remain bound, these hit points recover when you complete a long rest. GHOSTLY STEP At 18th level you gain the ability to enter the spirit realm as a bonus action by projecting part of yourself beyond the material plane, You and your belongings become invisible and incorpo- real for up 1 minute. During this time you may move your normal speed and may pass through solid objects. Ifyou choose to maintain this form until the duration expires and you are in a loca- tion occupied by a creature or solid object, you are shunted to the near occupied space and take damage equal to twice the number of feat you are moved as a result. You may otherwise choose to rematerialize at any time in your present loca- tion. You may use this ability once, after which you must complete a long rest to use it again, CIRCLES The circle that a witch joins at 2nd level has ev- erything to do with the witch's personal philoso- phy on spirits. When becoming a part of a circle, the witch joins other like-minded witches and is granted abilities which align with these core phi- losophies. Though witches of different circles may carry similar opinions of spirits and their own magic, itis important to think on how each. circle’s teachings shape your character's atti- tudes towards the binding and utiliz: its, CIRCLE OF BLOOD Witches of the Circle of Blood believe in strong connections between the physical world and the spiritual one. Spirits are connected to the physi- cal world through objects that were important to them while they were alive. This knowledge allows a witch to bind spirits to her power more easily — as long as she knows a bit about the spirit’s life, ‘Though not always, witches from the circle of blood tend to dominate the spirits under their control. They generally take care to leave spirits intact and in a state no worse than before they |, but nevertheless are capable of using a spirit’s weaknesses against them, taking advantage of their connections to the physical world in order to gain power over them. ion of spir ‘were bour SyMPaTHETIC MaGic At 2nd level, you gain the power to cast spells on targets over vast distances beyond what the spell may ordinarily allow. Provided you have an ar- ticle (blood, hair, clothing) from the target, your spells which have a single target may affect the creature in question from up to one mile away per witch level. When you cast a spell that affects a creature this way, the article you have from the targetis consumed. AWAKEN THE BLOOD Beginning at 6th level, when you release a spirit from your power, you can use the energy from. those broken spiritual bonds to repair corporeal bodies. You can heal yourself or a creature adja- cent to you for hit points equal to four times the level of the spirit when you trigger a release effect. BLoop BINDING At 10th level, ifa living creature dies within 30 feet of you, you may bind its soul as a full action on your next turn. You bind a spirit type of your choice to a spell slot of your choice. This binding expires after 24 hours or whenever you use this, ee again. The creature who provided the soul inot be resurrected during the time it remains bound. You may use this ability once, after which You must complete a long rest to use it againCALL ForTH THE BLOOD At 14th level, you gain the ability to force ethe- real and incorporeal creatures into the material plane a 1 toa corporeal form. The creature must succeed at a Constitution save or Jose its incorporeal traits and associated immu- nities and resistances for 1 minute. You may use this ability once, after which you must complete a long rest to use it again. id bind CIRCLE OF POWER ‘The Circle of Power subscribes to a philosophy that all spiritual entities are connected by a col- lective consciousness. They use this knowledge to surmount power over the spiritual realm itself. In other words, these witches gain their abilities by harnessing the secrets which govern the very basis of spiritual existence, rather than focusing on the relationships between the metaphysical and the mat The Circle of Power is perhaps a little more sympathetic to the spirits these witches bind. Witches of this circle tend to see spirits more as allies. They trust the spirits they bind enough to. allow their power to grow under their command with the purpose of sharing this power. ial world. ANCESTRAL POWER You can call upon the residual power of the indi- viduals whose souls you bind. Beginning at 2nd level, the save DC of your spells is increased by 1 for every bond you have filled. FORCEFUL PRESENCE ‘When you reach 6th level, you can force a spirit to grant its release effect, but retain control of the spirit so that it is not dismissed and contin- ues to provide its passive effect. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, minimum 1. After these uses are ex- pended, you must complete a long rest to re- cover them. POWERFUL BONDS At 10th level, your body and soul develop the ability to contain more powerful spirits, The level of spirits you bind are considered 1 higher than the spell slot you use to bind them. itudes towards the binding and utilization of spir- its. ‘SIMULACRUM As awiteh of the Circle of Power, your mind and body have become powerfully linked to spiritual existence. At 14th level, should you be reduced to O hit points but not killed outright, your body becomes possessed by a spirit you control and you may continue to act for 1 round per level of the highest level spirit you have in your power. You cannot use this ability if you do not have any spirits bound. You may perform any action you normally could except for releasing spirits. During this time, your hit points remain at 0 and you continue to make death saving throws (though a prepared witch may move to her spirit ward to become stable). Onlookers notice a strangeness in your movements, eyes, and voice while you remain possessed. When the effect expires, your body collapses if you have not been healed above 0 hit points, oth- erwise you snap out of the possessi CIRCLE OF RUIN The Circle of Ruin has less respect for spirits than the other circles. Witches who bind these spirits utilize their magic to torture and pressure spirits in order to extract power from them. Their philosophy revolves around invoking ruin and causing as much damage as possible. Though good witches of this circle are rare, they are not unknown. Good witches who share this circle’s ideology typically aim to bind evil spirits, turning these beings into weapons for good against their will (though this can hardly be considered to be completely benign). These witches often claim this is for the greater good — using evil to combat evil. ‘onscious.Sout Suarrer Beginning when you choose this circle at 2nd level, spells which you cast that cause damage deal half of their damage as psych age if you choose. DEVASTATING RELEASE At th level, spirits you release erupt with energy as their bonds are broken, causing harm to those around you. When you dismiss a spirit, enemies within 30 feet of you are dealt 1d6 points of damage per level of the spirit, Half of this damage is necrotic, and the other half psychic. Those use experience the damage hear wails and screams as the spirit is released, and feel a rush of sorrow and discomfort. Ruinous WARD Beginning at 10th level, the Spirit Wards you ed by spiritual dissonance which can strain and break the weak of spirit. In addition to the described effects above, your Spirit Ward ability deals 1d6 psychic damage each round to hostile creatures within its radius. The damage can be ignored by a successful Wisdom save as if against one of your spells. RITE OF EXORCISM At 14th level, you can attempt to exorcize a living creature's own soul, Ifa creature within 30 feet fails a Wisdom save against your spell save DC, they are dealt 10d6 damage as their soul is torn from their body. Half of this damage is psychic, the other half is necrotic. The creature is also stunned until your next turn. A successful save lets the creature avoid the damage, but still leaves the creature stunned. You may use this ability 3 times. Expended uses recover after a Jong rest. CIRCLE OF SHADOWS The Circle of Shadows subscribes to the belief that everything that exists, both physically and metaphysically, is like a shadow cast by that which came before it. Shadows are windows into worlds beyond the material plane ~ as one world becomes dimmer, others become brighter and easier to see by comparison. There is reason to be wary of the dark. Witches from this circle are more cautious dealing with spirits. They know that dangers lurk in the shad- ows, and they are careful with their dealings lest the spirits they bind show their dark side. Tue SHapows Have Eyes ‘You can use the spirits which dwell in the dark- ness to see. Beginning at 2nd level, you have darkvision 60 fi. as long as you have at least one spirit bound. If your race grants you darkvision, itis extended by 60 ft. instead. BLINDING SHACKLES At Oth level, whenever you release a spirit which lets you choose a target or affects a single target, that target is blinded for 146 rounds. This ability cannot affect creatures who do not use light to see. Spirits IN THE SHADOWS Beginning at 10th level, as long as you have at least 2 spirits bound, you may call upon nearby shadows to replace the somatic components of your spells. Additionally, the ghostly whispers of those spirits may replace the verbal components, of your spells. You may therefore cast spells with these components even if you yourself cannot motion or vocalise. Suapy ExcHANGE Beginning at 14th level, when you enter a witch's quickening in low light or darker conditions, you may exchange one of the spirits you have bound for another of a different type. The new spirit. of the same level as the one you exchanged, and no release effect is triggered during the ex- change. You may use this ability once, after which you must complete a long rest to use it again.BINDING RITES Following is a list of different spirits a witch may bind. Spirit OF AGONY In the presence of a spirit of Agony, foes’ wounds continue to bleed and fires continue to burn. ‘While Agony is bound, you may reroll any damage die that shows a 1, and use the new roll even ifitis another 1.

These temporary hit points last up to 24 hours, ‘SPIRIT OF FEAR Spirits of Fear bring nightmares to life. While Fear is bound, you may add your proficiency bonus to Charisma (Intimidation) checks, or double itif you already do. elease.

As the lord watches the gnome scuttle by, he opens his right hand to discover a note, penned in cryptic illu sory script, informing him of the identity of a pair of assassins within his own court. The gnome issues him a knowing wink, and continues with his routine. Flourishing his cape, a human clad in gilded finery collapses to the ground with a certain clownish lack of grace, clutching a nearly fatal ‘wound in his side. By all appearances dead, the human waits, dagger drawn, for his enemy to slip up and leave themselves open to a savage injury to the ankles. ‘Spewing comical jibes and insults to dishearten her adversaries, a welkinebriated female dwarf cracks a kobold upside the head with the pommel of her rapier. Having recited a particularly bawdy limerick to utter silence from her captive audience, she wheels on the blud- geoned kobold and levels a stern glare in its di- rection. Instantly, the kobold descends into peals of mad laughter, and the dwarf juts out her chin, satisfied. Comedy is an art form that sor few study with an almost religious zeal, honing their words and their blades with endless practice and performance. Some that style themselves as jesters are simple entertainers with an adventurous bent, while others are genuine devotees of trickster deities such Galittergold, Avandra, or the Laughing God Who Has No Temples, and consider their jesting a holy calling of sorts. Regardless, a jester is a student of life, emotion, and culture, and appreciates both the highs and lows afforded to mortals by the conditions in which they live. A Jester observes and comments, always knowing the right word or phrase to get a laugh, a tear, a bellow of murderous rage, or to simply swing the opinions of others their w as GarlHARLEQUIN’S MASK When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit and two of the following: Dexterity (Acrobati (Performance), or one kind of gaming set, You may, as an object interaction, either don a mask in your possession with traditional harle- quin markings, or apply facepaint from your disguise kit to achieve a similar effect.

Ifyou choose to know the jump spell, it may only be cast with yourself as a target when using this feature.

JESTERS & MULTICLASSING Unlike their arcane trickster brethren, the jester carries with them no spell slots, and thus not even fractional caster levels. When multiclassing as a jester, the levels you have taken as a rogue do not contribute to the spell slots you would receive from multi- classing, nor can you use spell slots to cast the spells you receive from jester archetype features.ROGUISH ARCHETYPE There are similarities among all rogues, from their ‘expertise in a wide variety of skills to their ruthless approach to combat.
