<title>Racial Traits</title>
<para>
The description of each race includes racial traits that are
common to members of that race. The following entries appear
among the traits of most races.
</para>
<section xml:id="ability-score-increase">
<title>Ability Score Increase</title>
<para>
Every race increases one or more of a character’s ability
scores.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="age">
<title>Age</title>
<para>
The age entry notes the age when a member of the race is
considered an adult, as well as the race’s expected lifespan.
This information can help you decide how old your character is
at the start of the game. You can choose any age for your
character, which could provide an explanation for some of your
ability scores. For example, if you play a young or very old
character, your age could explain a particularly low Strength
or Constitution score, while advanced age could account for a
high Intelligence or Wisdom.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="alignment">
<title>Alignment</title>
<para>
Most races have tendencies toward certain alignments,
described in this entry. These are not binding for player
characters, but considering why your dwarf is chaotic, for
example, in defiance of lawful dwarf society can help you
better define your character.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="size">
<title>Size</title>
<para>
Characters of most races are Medium, a size category including
creatures that are roughly 4 to 8 feet tall. Members of a few
races are Small (between 2 and 4 feet tall), which means that
certain rules of the game affect them differently. The most
important of these rules is that Small characters have trouble
wielding heavy weapons, as explained in
<quote>Equipment.</quote>
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="speed">
<title>Speed</title>
<para>
Your speed determines how far you can move when traveling
(<quote>Adventuring</quote>) and fighting
(<quote>Combat</quote>).
</para>

<section xml:id="languages">
<title>Languages</title>
<para>
By virtue of your race, your character can speak, read, and
write certain languages.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="subraces">
<title>Subraces</title>
<para>
Some races have subraces. Members of a subrace have the traits
of the parent race in addition to the traits specified for
their subrace. Relationships among subraces vary significantly
from race to race and world to world.

Your dwarf character has an assortment of inborn abilities, part
and parcel of dwarven nature.
</para>
<para>

increases by 2.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Age</emphasis></emphasis>.
Dwarves mature at the same rate as humans, but they’re
considered young until they reach the age of 50. On average,
they live about 350 years.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Alignment</emphasis></emphasis>.
Most dwarves are lawful, believing firmly in the benefits of a
well-ordered society. They tend toward good as well, with a
strong sense of fair play and a belief that everyone deserves to
share in the benefits of a just order.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Size</emphasis></emphasis>.
Dwarves stand between 4 and 5 feet tall and average about 150
pounds. Your size is Medium.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Speed</emphasis></emphasis>.
Your base walking speed is 25 feet. Your speed is not reduced by
wearing heavy armor.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Darkvision</emphasis></emphasis>.
Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark
and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of
you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were
dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of
gray.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Dwarven
Resilience</emphasis></emphasis>. You have advantage on saving
throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison
damage.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Dwarven Combat
Training</emphasis></emphasis>. You have proficiency with the
battleaxe, handaxe, light hammer, and warhammer.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Tool
Proficiency</emphasis></emphasis>. You gain proficiency with the
artisan’s tools of your choice: smith’s tools, brewer’s
supplies, or mason’s tools.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Stonecunning</emphasis></emphasis>.
Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to the
origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the
History skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the
check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Languages</emphasis></emphasis>.
You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is
full of hard consonants and guttural sounds, and those
characteristics spill over into whatever other language a dwarf
might speak.
</para>

<title>Elf Traits</title>
<para>
Your elf character has a variety of natural abilities, the
result of thousands of years of elven refinement.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ability Score
Increase</emphasis></emphasis>. Your Dexterity score increases
by 2.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Age</emphasis></emphasis>.
Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as
humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond
physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf
typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of
100 and can live to be 750 years old.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Alignment</emphasis></emphasis>.
Elves love freedom, variety, and self- expression, so they lean
strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and
protect others’ freedom as well as their own, and they are more
often good than not. The drow are an exception; their exile has
made them vicious and dangerous. Drow are more often evil than
not.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Size</emphasis></emphasis>.
Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender
builds. Your size is Medium.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Speed</emphasis></emphasis>.
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Darkvision</emphasis></emphasis>.
Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have
superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim
light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in
darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in
darkness, only shades of gray.
</para>

<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Keen
Senses</emphasis></emphasis>. You have proficiency in the
Perception skill.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Fey
Ancestry</emphasis></emphasis>. You have advantage on saving
throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Trance</emphasis></emphasis>.
Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply,
remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for
such meditation is <quote>trance.</quote>) While meditating, you
can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental
exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice.
</para>
<para>
After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a
human does from 8 hours of sleep.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Languages</emphasis></emphasis>.
You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is
fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven
literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are
famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so
they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="high-elf">
<title>High Elf</title>
<para>
As a high elf, you have a keen mind and a mastery of at least
the basics of magic. In many fantasy gaming worlds, there are
two kinds of high elves. One type is haughty and reclusive,
believing themselves to be superior to non-elves and even other
elves. The other type is more common and more friendly, and
often encountered among humans and other races.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ability Score
Increase</emphasis></emphasis>. Your Intelligence score
increases by 1.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Elf Weapon
Training</emphasis></emphasis>. You have proficiency with the
longsword, shortsword, shortbow, and longbow.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Cantrip</emphasis></emphasis>.
You know one cantrip of your choice from the wizard spell list.
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it.
</para>
<para>

one extra language of your choice.

<title>Halfling Traits</title>
<para>
Your halfling character has a number of traits in common with
all other halflings.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ability Score
Increase</emphasis></emphasis>. Your Dexterity score increases
by 2.
</para>
<para>

halfling reaches adulthood at the age of 20 and generally lives
into the middle of his or her second century.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Alignment</emphasis></emphasis>.
Most halflings are lawful good. As a rule, they are good-hearted
and kind, hate to see others in pain, and have no tolerance for
oppression. They are also very orderly and traditional, leaning
heavily on the support of their community and the comfort of
their old ways.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Size</emphasis></emphasis>.
Halflings average about 3 feet tall and weigh about 40 pounds.

You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Halfling
Nimbleness</emphasis></emphasis>. You can move through the space
of any creature that is of a size larger than yours.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Languages</emphasis></emphasis>.
You can speak, read, and write Common and Halfling. The Halfling
language isn’t secret, but halflings are loath to share it with
others. They write very little, so they don’t have a rich body
of literature. Their oral tradition, however, is very strong.
Almost all halflings speak Common to converse with the people in
whose lands they dwell or through which they are traveling.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="lightfoot">
<title>Lightfoot</title>
<para>
As a lightfoot halfling, you can easily hide from notice, even
using other people as cover. You’re inclined to be affable and
get along well with others.
</para>

and often dwell alongside other races or take up a nomadic life.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ability Score
Increase</emphasis></emphasis>. Your Charisma score increases by
1.
</para>
<para>

<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ability Score
Increase</emphasis></emphasis>. Your ability scores each
increase by 1.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Age</emphasis></emphasis>.
Humans reach adulthood in their late teens and live less than a
century.

<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Alignment</emphasis></emphasis>.
Humans tend toward no particular alignment. The best and the
worst are found among them.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Size</emphasis></emphasis>.
Humans vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to
well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that
range, your size is Medium.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Speed</emphasis></emphasis>.
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Languages</emphasis></emphasis>.
You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language of
your choice. Humans typically learn the languages of other
peoples they deal with, including obscure dialects. They are
fond of sprinkling their speech with words borrowed from other
tongues: Orc curses, Elvish musical expressions, Dwarvish
military phrases, and so on.

the age of 3, and reach adulthood by 15. They live to be around
80.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Alignment</emphasis></emphasis>.
Dragonborn tend to extremes, making a conscious choice for one
side or the other in the cosmic war between good and evil. Most
dragonborn are good, but those who side with evil can be
terrible villains.

Choose one type of dragon from the Draconic Ancestry table. Your
breath weapon and damage resistance are determined by the dragon
type, as shown in the table.
</para>

<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Breath
Weapon</emphasis></emphasis>. You can use your action to exhale
destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size,
shape, and damage type of the exhalation.
</para>
<para>
When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of
the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is
determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving
throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency
bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as
much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at
6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.

Gnomes are most often good. Those who tend toward law are sages,

<section xml:id="rage">
<title>Rage</title>
<para>
In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can
enter a rage as a bonus action.
</para>
<para>
While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren’t
wearing heavy armor:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing="compact">
<listitem>
<para>
You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving
throws.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain
a bonus to the damage roll that increases as you gain levels
as a barbarian, as shown in the Rage Damage column of the
Barbarian table.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing
damage.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
If you are able to cast spells, you can’t cast them or
concentrate on them while raging.
</para>
<para>
Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked
unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven’t attacked a
hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since
then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.
</para>
<para>
Once you have raged the number of times shown for your barbarian
level in the Rages column of the Barbarian table, you must
finish a long rest before you can rage again.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="unarmored-defense">
<title>Unarmored Defense</title>
<para>
While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10
+ your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can
use a shield and still gain this benefit.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="reckless-attack">
<title>Reckless Attack</title>
<para>
Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for
defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your
first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly.
Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using
Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have
advantage until your next turn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="danger-sense">
<title>Danger Sense</title>
<para>
At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby
aren’t as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away
from danger.
</para>
<para>
You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects
that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this
benefit, you can’t be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="primal-path">
<title>Primal Path</title>
<para>
At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your
rage. Choose the Path of the Berserker or the Path of the Totem
Warrior, both detailed at the end of the class description. Your
choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th,
and 14th levels.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ability-score-improvement">
<title>Ability Score Improvement</title>
<para>
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. As
normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this
feature.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="extra-attack">
<title>Extra Attack</title>
<para>
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="fast-movement">
<title>Fast Movement</title>
<para>
Starting at 5th level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you
aren’t wearing heavy armor.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="feral-instinct">
<title>Feral Instinct</title>
<para>
By 7th level, your instincts are so honed that you have
advantage on initiative rolls.
</para>
<para>
Additionally, if you are surprised at the beginning of combat
and aren’t incapacitated, you can act normally on your first
turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else
on that turn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="brutal-critical">
<title>Brutal Critical</title>
<para>
Beginning at 9th level, you can roll one additional weapon
damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit
with a melee attack.
</para>
<para>
This increases to two additional dice at 13th level and three
additional dice at 17th level.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="relentless-rage">
<title>Relentless Rage</title>
<para>
Starting at 11th level, your rage can keep you fighting despite
grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 hit points while you’re raging
and don’t die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving
throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.
</para>
<para>
Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases
by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the DC resets to 10.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="persistent-rage">
<title>Persistent Rage</title>
<para>
Beginning at 15th level, your rage is so fierce that it ends
early only if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="indomitable-might">
<title>Indomitable Might</title>
<para>
Beginning at 18th level, if your total for a Strength check is
less than your Strength score, you can use that score in place
of the total.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="primal-champion">
<title>Primal Champion</title>
<para>
At 20th level, you embody the power of the wilds. Your Strength
and Constitution scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those
scores is now 24.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="barbarian-paths">
<title>Barbarian Paths</title>
<section xml:id="path-of-the-berserker">
<title>Path of the Berserker</title>
<para>
For some barbarians, rage is a means to an end- that end being
violence. The Path of the Berserker is a path of untrammeled
fury, slick with blood. As you enter the berserker’s rage, you
thrill in the chaos of battle, heedless of your own health or
well-being.
</para>
<section xml:id="frenzy">
<title>Frenzy</title>
<para>
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can go
into a frenzy when you rage. If you do so, for the duration
of your rage you can make a single melee weapon attack as a
bonus action on each of your turns after this one. When your
rage ends, you suffer one level of exhaustion (as described
in appendix A).
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="mindless-rage">
<title>Mindless Rage</title>
<para>
Beginning at 6th level, you can’t be charmed or frightened
while raging. If you are charmed or frightened when you
enter your rage, the effect is suspended for the duration of
the rage.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="intimidating-presence">
<title>Intimidating Presence</title>
<para>
Beginning at 10th level, you can use your action to frighten
someone with your menacing presence. When you do so, choose
one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the
creature can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom
saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of
your next turn. On subsequent turns, you can use your action
to extend the duration of this effect on the frightened
creature until the end of your next turn. This effect ends
if the creature ends its turn out of line of sight or more
than 60 feet away from you.
</para>
<para>
If the creature succeeds on its saving throw, you can’t use
this feature on that creature again for 24 hours.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="retaliation">
<title>Retaliation</title>

<title>Spellcasting</title>
<para>
You have learned to untangle and reshape the fabric of reality
in harmony with your wishes and music.
</para>
<para>
Your spells are part of your vast repertoire, magic that you can
tune to different situations.
</para>
<section xml:id="cantrips">
<title>Cantrips</title>
<para>
You know two cantrips of your choice from the bard spell list.
You learn additional bard cantrips of your choice at higher
levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Bard
table.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spell-slots">
<title>Spell Slots</title>
<para>
The Bard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your bard spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these
spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher.
You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long
rest.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell <emphasis>cure
wounds</emphasis> and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell
slot available, you can cast <emphasis>cure wounds</emphasis>
using either slot.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spells-known-of-1st-level-and-higher">
<title>Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher</title>
<para>
You know four 1st-level spells of your choice from the bard
spell list.
</para>
<para>
The Spells Known column of the Bard table shows when you learn
more bard spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be
of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the
table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class,
you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
</para>
<para>
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the bard spells you know and replace it with
another spell from the bard spell list, which also must be of
a level for which you have spell slots.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spellcasting-ability">
<title>Spellcasting Ability</title>
<para>
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your bard spells.
Your magic comes from the heart and soul you pour into the
performance of your music or oration. You use your Charisma
whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In
addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the
saving throw DC for a bard spell you cast and when making an
attack roll with one.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Spell save DC</emphasis> = 8 + your
proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
</para>

<emphasis role="strong">Spell attack modifier</emphasis> =
your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

your bard spells.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="bardic-inspiration">
<title>Bardic Inspiration</title>
<para>
You can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do
so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature
other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That
creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6.
</para>
<para>
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die
and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or
saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it
rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die,
but must decide before the GM says whether the roll succeeds or
fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A
creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.
</para>
<para>
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended
uses when you finish a long rest.
</para>
<para>
Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain
levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10
at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="jack-of-all-trades">

rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn’t already
include your proficiency bonus.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="song-of-rest">
<title>Song of Rest</title>
<para>
Beginning at 2nd level, you can use soothing music or oration to
help revitalize your wounded allies during a short rest. If you
or any friendly creatures who can hear your performance regain
hit points at the end of the short rest by spending one or more
Hit Dice, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit
points.
</para>
<para>
The extra hit points increase when you reach certain levels in
this class: to 1d8 at 9th level, to 1d10 at 13th level, and to
1d12 at 17th level.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="bard-college">
<title>Bard College</title>
<para>
At 3rd level, you delve into the advanced techniques of a bard
college of your choice: the College of Lore or the College of
Valor, both detailed at the end of the class description. Your
choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th and
14th level.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="expertise">
<title>Expertise</title>
<para>
At 3rd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your
proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that
uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
</para>
<para>
At 10th level, you can choose another two skill proficiencies to
gain this benefit.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ability-score-improvement-1">

or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As
normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this
feature.

<section xml:id="font-of-inspiration">
<title>Font of Inspiration</title>
<para>
Beginning when you reach 5th level, you regain all of your
expended uses of Bardic Inspiration when you finish a short or
long rest.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="countercharm">
<title>Countercharm</title>
<para>
At 6th level, you gain the ability to use musical notes or words
of power to disrupt mind-influencing effects. As an action, you
can start a performance that lasts until the end of your next
turn. During that time, you and any friendly creatures within 30
feet of you have advantage on saving throws against being
frightened or charmed. A creature must be able to hear you to
gain this benefit. The performance ends early if you are
incapacitated or silenced or if you voluntarily end it (no
action required).
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="magical-secrets">
<title>Magical Secrets</title>
<para>
By 10th level, you have plundered magical knowledge from a wide
spectrum of disciplines. Choose two spells from any classes,
including this one. A spell you choose must be of a level you
can cast, as shown on the Bard table, or a cantrip.
</para>
<para>
The chosen spells count as bard spells for you and are included
in the number in the Spells Known column of the Bard table.
</para>
<para>
You learn two additional spells from any classes at 14th level
and again at 18th level.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="superior-inspiration">
<title>Superior Inspiration</title>
<para>
At 20th level, when you roll initiative and have no uses of
Bardic Inspiration left, you regain one use.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="bard-colleges">
<title>Bard Colleges</title>
<section xml:id="college-of-lore">
<title>College of Lore</title>
<para>
Bards of the College of Lore know something about most things,
collecting bits of knowledge from sources as diverse as
scholarly tomes and peasant tales. Whether singing folk
ballads in taverns or elaborate compositions in royal courts,
these bards use their gifts to hold audiences spellbound. When
the applause dies down, the audience members might find
themselves questioning everything they held to be true, from
their faith in the priesthood of the local temple to their
loyalty to the king.
</para>
<para>
The loyalty of these bards lies in the pursuit of beauty and
truth, not in fealty to a monarch or following the tenets of a
deity. A noble who keeps such a bard as a herald or advisor
knows that the bard would rather be honest than politic.
</para>
<para>
The college’s members gather in libraries and sometimes in
actual colleges, complete with classrooms and dormitories, to
share their lore with one another. They also meet at festivals
or affairs of state, where they can expose corruption, unravel
lies, and poke fun at self-important figures of authority.
</para>
<section xml:id="bonus-proficiencies">
<title>Bonus Proficiencies</title>
<para>
When you join the College of Lore at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with three skills of your choice.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="cutting-words">
<title>Cutting Words</title>
<para>
Also at 3rd level, you learn how to use your wit to
distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and
competence of others. When a creature that you can see
within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability
check, or a damage roll, you can use your reaction to expend
one of your uses of Bardic Inspiration, rolling a Bardic
Inspiration die and subtracting the number rolled from the
creature’s roll. You can choose to use this feature after
the creature makes its roll, but before the GM determines
whether the attack roll or ability check succeeds or fails,
or before the creature deals its damage. The creature is
immune if it can’t hear you or if it’s immune to being
charmed.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="additional-magical-secrets">
<title>Additional Magical Secrets</title>
<para>
At 6th level, you learn two spells of your choice from any
class. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast,
as shown on the Bard table, or a cantrip. The chosen spells
count as bard spells for you but don’t count against the
number of bard spells you know.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="peerless-skill">
<title>Peerless Skill</title>
<para>
Starting at 14th level, when you make an ability check, you
can expend one use of Bardic Inspiration. Roll a Bardic
Inspiration die and add the number rolled to your ability
check. You can choose to do so after you roll the die for
the ability check, but before the GM tells you whether you
succeed or fail.

<title>Spellcasting</title>
<para>
As a conduit for divine power, you can cast cleric spells.
</para>
<section xml:id="cantrips-1">
<title>Cantrips</title>
<para>
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the
cleric spell list. You learn additional cleric cantrips of
your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known
column of the Cleric table.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="preparing-and-casting-spells">
<title>Preparing and Casting Spells</title>
<para>
The Cleric table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your cleric spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of
these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or
higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a
long rest.
</para>
<para>
You prepare the list of cleric spells that are available for
you to cast, choosing from the cleric spell list. When you do
so, choose a number of cleric spells equal to your Wisdom
modifier + your cleric level (minimum of one spell). The
spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you are a 3rd-level cleric, you have four
1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16,
your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or
2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level
spell <emphasis>cure wounds</emphasis>, you can cast it using
a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t
remove it from your list of prepared spells.
</para>
<para>
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a
long rest. Preparing a new list of cleric spells requires time
spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell
level for each spell on your list.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spellcasting-ability-1">
<title>Spellcasting Ability</title>
<para>
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells.
The power of your spells comes from your devotion to your
deity. You use your Wisdom whenever a cleric spell refers to
your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell
you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Spell save DC</emphasis> = 8 + your
proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Spell attack modifier</emphasis> =
your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ritual-casting-1">

You can cast a cleric spell as a ritual if that spell has the
ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
</para>

You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your
cleric spells.

</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="divine-domain">
<title>Divine Domain</title>
<para>
Choose one domain related to your deity: Knowledge, Life, Light,
Nature, Tempest, Trickery, or War. Each domain is detailed at
the end of the class description, and each one provides examples
of gods associated with it. Your choice grants you domain spells
and other features when you choose it at 1st level. It also
grants you additional ways to use Channel Divinity when you gain
that feature at 2nd level, and additional benefits at 6th, 8th,
and 17th levels.
</para>
<section xml:id="domain-spells">
<title>Domain Spells</title>
<para>
Each domain has a list of spells - its domain spells - that
you gain at the cleric levels noted in the domain description.
Once you gain a domain spell, you always have it prepared, and
it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare
each day.
</para>
<para>
If you have a domain spell that doesn’t appear on the cleric
spell list, the spell is nonetheless a cleric spell for you.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="channel-divinity">
<title>Channel Divinity</title>
<para>
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to channel divine energy
directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical
effects. You start with two such effects: Turn Undead and an
effect determined by your domain. Some domains grant you
additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the
domain description.
</para>
<para>
When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to
create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your
Channel Divinity again.
</para>
<para>
Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you
use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your cleric
spell save DC.
</para>
<para>
Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity twice
between rests, and beginning at 18th level, you can use it three
times between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, you
regain your expended uses.
</para>
<section xml:id="channel-divinity-turn-undead">
<title>Channel Divinity: Turn Undead</title>
<para>
As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer
censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you
within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the
creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or
until it takes any damage.
</para>
<para>
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far
away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a
space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For
its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape
from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s
nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="ability-score-improvement-2">
<title>Ability Score Improvement</title>
<para>
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. As
normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this
feature.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="destroy-undead">
<title>Destroy Undead</title>

Starting at 5th level, when an undead fails its saving throw
against your Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly
destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a certain
threshold, as shown in the Destroy Undead table.

<title>Divine Intervention</title>
<para>
Beginning at 10th level, you can call on your deity to intervene
on your behalf when your need is great.
</para>
<para>
Imploring your deity’s aid requires you to use your action.
Describe the assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice. If
you roll a number equal to or lower than your cleric level, your
deity intervenes. The GM chooses the nature of the intervention;
the effect of any cleric spell or cleric domain spell would be
appropriate.
</para>
<para>
If your deity intervenes, you can’t use this feature again for 7
days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a long
rest.
</para>
<para>
At 20th level, your call for intervention succeeds
automatically, no roll required.

<title>Life Domain</title>
<para>
The Life domain focuses on the vibrant positive energy-one of
the fundamental forces of the universe-that sustains all life.
The gods of life promote vitality and health through healing
the sick and wounded, caring for those in need, and driving
away the forces of death and undeath. Almost any non-evil
deity can claim influence over this domain, particularly
agricultural deities (such as Chauntea, Arawai, and Demeter),
sun gods (such as Lathander, Pelor, and Re-Horakhty), gods of
healing or endurance (such as Ilmater, Mishakal, Apollo, and
Diancecht), and gods of home and community (such as Hestia,
Hathor, and Boldrei).

<title>Disciple of Life</title>
<para>
Also starting at 1st level, your healing spells are more
effective. Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher
to restore hit points to a creature, the creature regains
additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell’s level.
</para>

<para>
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to
heal the badly injured.
</para>
<para>
As an action, you present your holy symbol and evoke healing
energy that can restore a number of hit points equal to five
times your cleric level. Choose any creatures within 30 feet
of you, and divide those hit points among them. This feature
can restore a creature to no more than half of its hit point
maximum. You can’t use this feature on an undead or a
construct.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="blessed-healer">
<title>Blessed Healer</title>
<para>
Beginning at 6th level, the healing spells you cast on
others heal you as well. When you cast a spell of 1st level
or higher that restores hit points to a creature other than
you, you regain hit points equal to 2 + the spell’s level.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="divine-strike">
<title>Divine Strike</title>
<para>
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon
strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when
you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the
attack to deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target.
When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to
2d8.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="supreme-healing">
<title>Supreme Healing</title>
<para>
Starting at 17th level, when you would normally roll one or
more dice to restore hit points with a spell, you instead
use the highest number possible for each die. For example,
instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a creature, you
restore 12.

<para>
You know Druidic, the secret language of druids. You can speak
the language and use it to leave hidden messages. You and others
who know this language automatically spot such a message. Others
spot the message’s presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom
(Perception) check but can’t decipher it without magic.
</para>

<section xml:id="spellcasting-2">
<title>Spellcasting</title>
<para>
Drawing on the divine essence of nature itself, you can cast
spells to shape that essence to your will.
</para>
<section xml:id="cantrips-2">
<title>Cantrips</title>
<para>
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the
druid spell list. You learn additional druid cantrips of your
choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column
of the Druid table.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="preparing-and-casting-spells-1">
<title>Preparing and Casting Spells</title>
<para>
The Druid table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your druid spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of
these druid spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s
level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you
finish a long rest.
</para>
<para>
You prepare the list of druid spells that are available for
you to cast, choosing from the druid spell list. When you do
so, choose a number of druid spells equal to your Wisdom
modifier + your druid level (minimum of one spell). The spells
must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you are a 3rd-level druid, you have four
1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16,
your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or
2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level
spell <emphasis>cure wounds</emphasis>, you can cast it using
a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t
remove it from your list of prepared spells.
</para>
<para>
You can also change your list of prepared spells when you
finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of druid spells
requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1
minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="spellcasting-ability-2">
<title>Spellcasting Ability</title>
<para>
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since
your magic draws upon your devotion and attunement to nature.
You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting
ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting
the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making
an attack roll with one.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Spell save DC</emphasis> = 8 + your

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically

use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish
a short or long rest.
</para>
<para>
Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into,
as shown in the Beast Shapes table. At 2nd level, for example,
you can transform into any beast that has a challenge rating of
1/4 or lower that doesn’t have a flying or swimming speed.

You can stay in a beast shape for a number of hours equal to
half your druid level (rounded down). You then revert to your
normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You
can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action
on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious,
drop to 0 hit points, or die.
</para>
<para>
While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing="compact">
<listitem>
<para>
Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the
beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain
all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in
addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature
has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat
block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead
of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions,
you can’t use them.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and
Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to
the number of hit points you had before you transformed.
However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit
points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form.
For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have
only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long
as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0
hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any
action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of
your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your
concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or
prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell,
such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
You retain the benefit of any features from your class,
race, or other source and can use them if the new form is
physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any
of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new
form also has that sense.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in
your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it.
Worn equipment functions as normal, but the GM decides
whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of
equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your
equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new
form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must
either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that
merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</section>
<section xml:id="druid-circle">
<title>Druid Circle</title>
<para>
At 2nd level, you choose to identify with a circle of druids:
the Circle of the Land or the Circle of the Moon, both detailed
at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you
features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
</para>

<section xml:id="ability-score-improvement-3">
<title>Ability Score Improvement</title>
<para>
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. As
normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this
feature.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="timeless-body">
<title>Timeless Body</title>
<para>
Starting at 18th level, the primal magic that you wield causes
you to age more slowly. For every 10 years that pass, your body
ages only 1 year.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="beast-spells">
<title>Beast Spells</title>
<para>
Beginning at 18th level, you can cast many of your druid spells
in any shape you assume using Wild Shape. You can perform the
somatic and verbal components of a druid spell while in a beast
shape, but you aren’t able to provide material components.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="archdruid">
<title>Archdruid</title>
<para>
At 20th level, you can use your Wild Shape an unlimited number
of times.
</para>
<para>
Additionally, you can ignore the verbal and somatic components
of your druid spells, as well as any material components that
lack a cost and aren’t consumed by a spell. You gain this
benefit in both your normal shape and your beast shape from Wild
Shape.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="druid-circles">
<title>Druid Circles</title>
<section xml:id="circle-of-the-land">
<title>Circle of the Land</title>
<para>
The Circle of the Land is made up of mystics and sages who
safeguard ancient knowledge and rites through a vast oral
tradition. These druids meet within sacred circles of trees or
standing stones to whisper primal secrets in Druidic. The
circle’s wisest members preside as the chief priests of
communities that hold to the Old Faith and serve as advisors
to the rulers of those folk. As a member of this circle, your
magic is influenced by the land where you were initiated into
the circle’s mysterious rites.
</para>
<section xml:id="bonus-cantrip">
<title>Bonus Cantrip</title>
<para>
When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you learn one
additional druid cantrip of your choice.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="natural-recovery">
<title>Natural Recovery</title>
<para>
Starting at 2nd level, you can regain some of your magical
energy by sitting in meditation and communing with nature.
During a short rest, you choose expended spell slots to
recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is
equal to or less than half your druid level (rounded up),
and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You can’t
use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
</para>
<para>
For example, when you are a 4th-level druid, you can recover
up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover
either a 2nd-level slot or two 1st-level slots.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="circle-spells">
<title>Circle Spells</title>
<para>
Your mystical connection to the land infuses you with the
ability to cast certain spells. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th
level you gain access to circle spells connected to the land
where you became a druid. Choose that land-arctic, coast,
desert, forest, grassland, mountain, or swamp-and consult
the associated list of spells.
</para>
<para>
Once you gain access to a circle spell, you always have it
prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells
you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that
doesn’t appear on the druid spell list, the spell is
nonetheless a druid spell for you.

<para>
Starting at 6th level, moving through nonmagical difficult
terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass
through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and
without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines,
or a similar hazard.

In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against
plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede
movement, such those created by the
<emphasis>entangle</emphasis> spell.

<para>
When you reach 10th level, you can’t be charmed or

poison and disease.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="natures-sanctuary">
<title>Nature’s Sanctuary</title>
<para>
When you reach 14th level, creatures of the natural world
sense your connection to nature and become hesitant to
attack you. When a beast or plant creature attacks you, that
creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your druid
spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature must choose a
different target, or the attack automatically misses. On a
successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for
24 hours.
</para>
<para>
The creature is aware of this effect before it makes its
attack against you.
</para>
<blockquote>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Sacred Plants and Wood</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
A druid holds certain plants to be sacred, particularly
alder, ash, birch, elder, hazel, holly, juniper,
mistletoe, oak, rowan, willow, and yew. Druids often use
such plants as part of a spellcasting focus, incorporating
lengths of oak or yew or sprigs of mistletoe.
</para>
<para>
Similarly, a druid uses such woods to make other objects,
such as weapons and shields. Yew is associated with death
and rebirth, so weapon handles for scimitars or sickles
might be fashioned from it. Ash is associated with life
and oak with strength. These woods make excellent hafts or
whole weapons, such as clubs or quarterstaffs, as well as
shields. Alder is associated with air, and it might be
used for thrown weapons, such as darts or javelins.
</para>
<para>
Druids from regions that lack the plants described here
have chosen other plants to take on similar uses. For
instance, a druid of a desert region might value the yucca
tree and cactus plants.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Druids and the Gods</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
Some druids venerate the forces of nature themselves, but
most druids are devoted to one of the many nature deities
worshiped in the multiverse (the lists of gods in appendix
B include many such deities). The worship of these deities
is often considered a more ancient tradition than the
faiths of clerics and urbanized peoples.

<section xml:id="unarmored-defense-1">
<title>Unarmored Defense</title>
<para>
Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not
wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier +
your Wisdom modifier.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="martial-arts">
<title>Martial Arts</title>
<para>
At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of
combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons, which
are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don’t have the
two- handed or heavy property.
</para>
<para>
You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or
wielding only monk weapons and you aren’t wearing armor or
wielding a shield:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing="compact">
<listitem>
<para>
You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and
damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your
unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain
monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk
table.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a
monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as
a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action
and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed
strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven’t already taken
a bonus action this turn.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
Certain monasteries use specialized forms of the monk weapons.
For example, you might use a club that is two lengths of wood
connected by a short chain (called a nunchaku) or a sickle with
a shorter, straighter blade (called a kama). Whatever name you
use for a monk weapon, you can use the game statistics provided
for the weapon.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ki">
<title>Ki</title>
<para>
Starting at 2nd level, your training allows you to harness the
mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented
by a number of ki points. Your monk level determines the number
of points you have, as shown in the Ki Points column of the Monk
table.
</para>
<para>
You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You
start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient
Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more ki features as you
gain levels in this class.
</para>
<para>
When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a
short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your
expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30
minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points.
</para>
<para>
Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving
throw to resist the feature’s effects. The saving throw DC is
calculated as follows:
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Ki save DC</emphasis> = 8 + your
proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
</para>
<section xml:id="flurry-of-blows">
<title>Flurry of Blows</title>
<para>
Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you
can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus
action.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="patient-defense">
<title>Patient Defense</title>
<para>
You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus
action on your turn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="step-of-the-wind">
<title>Step of the Wind</title>
<para>
You can spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action
as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is
doubled for the turn.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="unarmored-movement">
<title>Unarmored Movement</title>
<para>
Starting at 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you
are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases
when you reach certain monk levels, as shown in the Monk table.
</para>
<para>
At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical
surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during
the move.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="monastic-tradition">
<title>Monastic Tradition</title>
<para>
When you reach 3rd level, you commit yourself to a monastic
tradition: the Way of the Open Hand, the Way of Shadow, or the
Way of the Four Elements, all detailed at the end of the class
description. Your tradition grants you features at 3rd level and
again at 6th, 11th, and 17th level.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="deflect-missiles">
<title>Deflect Missiles</title>
<para>
Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or
catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack.
When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced
by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level.
</para>
<para>
If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it
is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at
least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can
spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with the weapon or
piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same
reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of
your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk
weapon for the attack, which has a normal range of 20 feet and a
long range of 60 feet.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ability-score-improvement-5">
<title>Ability Score Improvement</title>
<para>
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. As
normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this
feature.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="slow-fall">
<title>Slow Fall</title>

whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="stunning-strike">
<title>Stunning Strike</title>
<para>
Starting at 5th level, you can interfere with the flow of ki in
an opponent’s body. When you hit another creature with a melee
weapon attack, you can spend 1 ki point to attempt a stunning
strike. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw
or be stunned until the end of your next turn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ki-empowered-strikes">
<title>Ki-Empowered Strikes</title>
<para>
Starting at 6th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for
the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical
attacks and damage.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="evasion">
<title>Evasion</title>
<para>
At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the
way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon’s lightning
breath or a <emphasis>fireball</emphasis> spell. When you are
subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity
saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no
damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage
if you fail.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="stillness-of-mind">
<title>Stillness of Mind</title>

so that you understand all spoken languages. Moreover, any
creature that can understand a language can understand what you
say.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="diamond-soul">
<title>Diamond Soul</title>
<para>
Beginning at 14th level, your mastery of ki grants you
proficiency in all saving throws.
</para>
<para>
Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can
spend 1 ki point to reroll it and take the second result.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="timeless-body-1">
<title>Timeless Body</title>
<para>
At 15th level, your ki sustains you so that you suffer none of
the frailty of old age, and you can’t be aged magically. You can
still die of old age, however. In addition, you no longer need
food or water.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="empty-body">
<title>Empty Body</title>
<para>
Beginning at 18th level, you can use your action to spend 4 ki
points to become invisible for 1 minute. During that time, you
also have resistance to all damage but force damage.
</para>

</section>
<section xml:id="monastic-traditions">
<title>Monastic Traditions</title>
<para>
Three traditions of monastic pursuit are common in the
monasteries scattered across the multiverse. Most monasteries
practice one tradition exclusively, but a few honor the three
traditions and instruct each monk according to his or her
aptitude and interest. All three traditions rely on the same
basic techniques, diverging as the student grows more adept.
Thus, a monk need choose a tradition only upon reaching 3rd
level.
</para>
<section xml:id="way-of-the-open-hand">
<title>Way of the Open Hand</title>
<para>
Monks of the Way of the Open Hand are the ultimate masters of
martial arts combat, whether armed or unarmed. They learn
techniques to push and trip their opponents, manipulate ki to
heal damage to their bodies, and practice advanced meditation
that can protect them from harm.
</para>
<section xml:id="open-hand-technique">
<title>Open Hand Technique</title>
<para>
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you
can manipulate your enemy’s ki when you harness your own.

by your Flurry of Blows, you can impose one of the following
effects on that target:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing="compact">
<listitem>
<para>
It must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be
knocked prone.

<section xml:id="wholeness-of-body">
<title>Wholeness of Body</title>
<para>
At 6th level, you gain the ability to heal yourself. As an
action, you can regain hit points equal to three times your
monk level. You must finish a long rest before you can use
this feature again.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="tranquility">
<title>Tranquility</title>
<para>
Beginning at 11th level, you can enter a special meditation
that surrounds you with an aura of peace. At the end of a
long rest, you gain the effect of a
<emphasis>sanctuary</emphasis> spell that lasts until the
start of your next long rest (the spell can end early as
normal). The saving throw DC for the spell equals 8 + your
Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="quivering-palm">
<title>Quivering Palm</title>
<para>
At 17th level, you gain the ability to set up lethal
vibrations in someone’s body. When you hit a creature with
an unarmed strike, you can spend 3 ki points to start these
imperceptible vibrations, which last for a number of days
equal to your monk level. The vibrations are harmless unless
you use your action to end them. To do so, you and the
target must be on the same plane of existence. When you use
this action, the creature must make a Constitution saving
throw. If it fails, it is reduced to 0 hit points. If it
succeeds, it takes 10d10 necrotic damage.
</para>
<para>
You can have only one creature under the effect of this
feature at a time. You can choose to end the vibrations
harmlessly without using an action.

<title>Divine Sense</title>
<para>
The presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a
noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in
your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect
such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the
location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of
you that is not behind total cover. You know the type
(celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you
sense, but not its identity (the vampire Count Strahd von
Zarovich, for instance). Within the same radius, you also detect
the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or
desecrated, as with the <emphasis>hallow</emphasis> spell.
</para>
<para>
You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your
Charisma modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all
expended uses.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="lay-on-hands">
<title>Lay on Hands</title>
<para>
Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing
power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that
pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your
paladin level × 5.
</para>
<para>
As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the
pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to
the maximum amount remaining in your pool.
</para>
<para>
Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of
healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one
poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and
neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands,
expending hit points separately for each one.
</para>
<para>
This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.
</para>

<para>
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make

can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must
have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this
benefit.

meditation and prayer to cast spells as a cleric does.
</para>
<section xml:id="preparing-and-casting-spells-2">
<title>Preparing and Casting Spells</title>
<para>
The Paladin table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your paladin spells. To cast one of your paladin spells of 1st
level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level
or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish
a long rest.
</para>
<para>
You prepare the list of paladin spells that are available for
you to cast, choosing from the paladin spell list. When you do
so, choose a number of paladin spells equal to your Charisma
modifier + half your paladin level, rounded down (minimum of
one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have
spell slots.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you are a 5th-level paladin, you have four
1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of
14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of
1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the
1st-level spell <emphasis>cure wounds</emphasis>, you can cast
it using a 1st-level or a 2nd- level slot. Casting the spell
doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.
</para>
<para>
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a
long rest. Preparing a new list of paladin spells requires
time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per
spell level for each spell on your list.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spellcasting-ability-3">
<title>Spellcasting Ability</title>
<para>
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your paladin spells,
since their power derives from the strength of your
convictions. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to
your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a paladin spell
you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

<para>
Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee
weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant
damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The
extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for
each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The
damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend,
to a maximum of 6d8.

When you reach 3rd level, you swear the oath that binds you as a
paladin forever. Up to this time you have been in a preparatory
stage, committed to the path but not yet sworn to it. Now you
choose the Oath of Devotion, the Oath of the Ancients, or the
Oath of Vengeance, all detailed at the end of the class
description.
</para>
<para>
Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th,
15th, and 20th level. Those features include oath spells and the
Channel Divinity feature.
</para>
<section xml:id="oath-spells">
<title>Oath Spells</title>
<para>
Each oath has a list of associated spells. You gain access to
these spells at the levels specified in the oath description.
Once you gain access to an oath spell, you always have it
prepared. Oath spells don’t count against the number of spells
you can prepare each day.
</para>
<para>
If you gain an oath spell that doesn’t appear on the paladin
spell list, the spell is nonetheless a paladin spell for you.

use. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your
Channel Divinity again.

<title>Sacred Oaths</title>
<para>
Becoming a paladin involves taking vows that commit the paladin
to the cause of righteousness, an active path of fighting
wickedness. The final oath, taken when he or she reaches 3rd
level, is the culmination of all the paladin’s training. Some
characters with this class don’t consider themselves true
paladins until they have reached 3rd level and made this oath.
For others, the actual swearing of the oath is a formality, an
official stamp on what has always been true in the paladin’s
heart.
</para>
<section xml:id="oath-of-devotion">
<title>Oath of Devotion</title>
<para>
The Oath of Devotion binds a paladin to the loftiest ideals of
justice, virtue, and order. Sometimes called cavaliers, white
knights, or holy warriors, these paladins meet the ideal of
the knight in shining armor, acting with honor in pursuit of
justice and the greater good. They hold themselves to the
highest standards of conduct, and some, for better or worse,
hold the rest of the world to the same standards. Many who
swear this oath are devoted to gods of law and good and use
their gods’ tenets as the measure of their devotion. They hold
angels-the perfect servants of good-as their ideals, and
incorporate images of angelic wings into their helmets or
coats of arms.

<para>
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following
two Channel Divinity options.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Sacred
Weapon</emphasis></emphasis>. As an action, you can imbue
one weapon that you are holding with positive energy, using
your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma
modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a
minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also emits bright light in
a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If the
weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the
duration.
</para>
<para>
You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other
action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this
weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Turn the
Unholy</emphasis></emphasis>. As an action, you present your
holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring fiends and undead,
using your Channel Divinity. Each fiend or undead that can
see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom
saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is
turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.
</para>
<para>
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far
away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a
space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions.
For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to
escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If
there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge
action.
</para>

<section xml:id="aura-of-devotion">

<para>
At 20th level, as an action, you can emanate an aura of
sunlight. For 1 minute, bright light shines from you in a
30-foot radius, and dim light shines 30 feet beyond that.
</para>
<para>
Whenever an enemy creature starts its turn in the bright
light, the creature takes 10 radiant damage.
</para>
<para>
In addition, for the duration, you have advantage on saving
throws against spells cast by fiends or undead.
</para>
<para>
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.
</para>
<blockquote>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Breaking Your Oath</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
A paladin tries to hold to the highest standards of
conduct, but even the most virtuous paladin is fallible.
Sometimes the right path proves too demanding, sometimes a
situation calls for the lesser of two evils, and sometimes
the heat of emotion causes a paladin to transgress his or
her oath.
</para>
<para>
A paladin who has broken a vow typically seeks absolution
from a cleric who shares his or her faith or from another
paladin of the same order. The paladin might spend an all-
night vigil in prayer as a sign of penitence, or undertake
a fast or similar act of self-denial. After a rite of
confession and forgiveness, the paladin starts fresh.
</para>
<para>
If a paladin willfully violates his or her oath and shows
no sign of repentance, the consequences can be more
serious. At the GM’s discretion, an impenitent paladin
might be forced to abandon this class and adopt another.

</para>
<section xml:id="spell-slots-1">
<title>Spell Slots</title>
<para>
The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your ranger spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of
these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or
higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a
long rest.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell <emphasis>animal
friendship</emphasis> and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level
spell slot available, you can cast <emphasis>animal
friendship</emphasis> using either slot.

</para>
</section>

ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when
setting the saving throw DC for a ranger spell you cast and
when making an attack roll with one.

<title>Expertise</title>
<para>
At 1st level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of
your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with thieves’
tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check
you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
</para>
<para>
At 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in
skills or with thieves’ tools) to gain this benefit.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sneak-attack">
<title>Sneak Attack</title>
<para>
Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and
exploit a foe’s distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an
extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you
have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse
or a ranged weapon.
</para>
<para>
You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of
the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t
incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack
roll.
</para>
<para>
The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in
this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue
table.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="thieves-cant">
<title>Thieves’ Cant</title>
<para>
During your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret
mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide
messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature
that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages. It takes
four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak
the same idea plainly.
</para>
<para>
In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols
used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area
is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot
is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or
will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="cunning-action">
<title>Cunning Action</title>
<para>
Starting at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you
to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of
your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the
Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="roguish-archetype">
<title>Roguish Archetype</title>
<para>
At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you emulate in the
exercise of your rogue abilities: Thief, Assassin, or Arcane
Trickster, all detailed at the end of the class description.
Your archetype choice grants you features at 3rd level and then
again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ability-score-improvement-8">
<title>Ability Score Improvement</title>
<para>
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 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. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score
above 20 using this feature.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="uncanny-dodge">
<title>Uncanny Dodge</title>
<para>
Starting at 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits
you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the
attack’s damage against you.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="evasion-1">
<title>Evasion</title>
<para>
Beginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of
certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or an
<emphasis>ice storm</emphasis> spell. When you are subjected to
an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to
take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed
on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="reliable-talent">
<title>Reliable Talent</title>
<para>
By 11th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they
approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that
lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of
9 or lower as a 10.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="blindsense">
<title>Blindsense</title>
<para>
Starting at 14th level, if you are able to hear, you are aware
of the location of any hidden or invisible creature within 10
feet of you.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="slippery-mind">
<title>Slippery Mind</title>
<para>
By 15th level, you have acquired greater mental strength. You
gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="elusive">
<title>Elusive</title>
<para>
Beginning at 18th level, you are so evasive that attackers
rarely gain the upper hand against you. No attack roll has
advantage against you while you aren’t incapacitated.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="stroke-of-luck">
<title>Stroke of Luck</title>
<para>
At 20th level, you have an uncanny knack for succeeding when you
need to. If your attack misses a target within range, you can
turn the miss into a hit. Alternatively, if you fail an ability
check, you can treat the d20 roll as a 20.
</para>
<para>
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="roguish-archetypes">
<title>Roguish Archetypes</title>
<para>
Rogues have many features in common, including their emphasis on
perfecting their skills, their precise and deadly approach to
combat, and their increasingly quick reflexes. But different
rogues steer those talents in varying directions, embodied by
the rogue archetypes. Your choice of archetype is a reflection
of your focus-not necessarily an indication of your chosen
profession, but a description of your preferred techniques.
</para>
<section xml:id="thief">
<title>Thief</title>
<para>
You hone your skills in the larcenous arts. Burglars, bandits,
cutpurses, and other criminals typically follow this
archetype, but so do rogues who prefer to think of themselves
as professional treasure seekers, explorers, delvers, and
investigators. In addition to improving your agility and
stealth, you learn skills useful for delving into ancient
ruins, reading unfamiliar languages, and using magic items you
normally couldn’t employ.
</para>
<section xml:id="fast-hands">
<title>Fast Hands</title>
<para>
Starting at 3rd level, you can use the bonus action granted
by your Cunning Action to make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand)
check, use your thieves’ tools to disarm a trap or open a
lock, or take the Use an Object action.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="second-story-work">
<title>Second-Story Work</title>
<para>
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the
ability to climb faster than normal; climbing no longer
costs you extra movement.
</para>
<para>
In addition, when you make a running jump, the distance you
cover increases by a number of feet equal to your Dexterity
modifier.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="supreme-sneak">
<title>Supreme Sneak</title>
<para>
Starting at 9th level, you have advantage on a Dexterity
(Stealth) check if you move no more than half your speed on
the same turn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="use-magic-device">
<title>Use Magic Device</title>
<para>
By 13th level, you have learned enough about the workings of
magic that you can improvise the use of items even when they
are not intended for you. You ignore all class, race, and
level requirements on the use of magic items.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="thiefs-reflexes">
<title>Thief’s Reflexes</title>
<para>
When you reach 17th level, you have become adept at laying
ambushes and quickly escaping danger. You can take two turns
during the first round of any combat. You take your first
turn at your normal initiative and your second turn at your
initiative minus 10. You can’t use this feature when you are
surprised.

<title>Sorcerous Origins</title>
<para>
Different sorcerers claim different origins for their innate

fall into two categories: a draconic bloodline and wild magic.
</para>
<section xml:id="draconic-bloodline">
<title>Draconic Bloodline</title>
<para>
Your innate magic comes from draconic magic that was mingled
with your blood or that of your ancestors. Most often,
sorcerers with this origin trace their descent back to a
mighty sorcerer of ancient times who made a bargain with a
dragon or who might even have claimed a dragon parent. Some of
these bloodlines are well established in the world, but most
are obscure. Any given sorcerer could be the first of a new
bloodline, as a result of a pact or some other exceptional
circumstance.

awe or fear (your choice) to a distance of 60 feet. For 1
minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were
casting a concentration spell), each hostile creature that
starts its turn in this aura must succeed on a Wisdom saving
throw or be charmed (if you chose awe) or frightened (if you
chose fear) until the aura ends. A creature that succeeds on
this saving throw is immune to your aura for 24 hours.

<title>Spell Slots</title>
<para>
The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your warlock spells of 1st through 5th level. The table also
shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell
slots are the same level. To cast one of your warlock spells
of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or
long rest.
</para>
<para>
For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level
spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell <emphasis>witch

imp, pseudodragon, quasit, or sprite.

Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away
from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use

You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by
performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You
perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be
done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the weapon,
shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears
whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can’t
affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The
weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you
perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use
a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears
at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the
bond breaks.

at will. They don’t count against your number of cantrips
known. If they don’t appear on the warlock spell list, they
are nonetheless warlock spells for you.

<title>Spellcasting</title>
<para>
As a student of arcane magic, you have a spellbook containing
spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power.
</para>
<section xml:id="cantrips-5">
<title>Cantrips</title>
<para>
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the
wizard spell list. You learn additional wizard cantrips of
your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known
column of the Wizard table.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spellbook">
<title>Spellbook</title>
<para>
At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing six 1st- level
wizard spells of your choice. Your spellbook is the repository
of the wizard spells you know, except your cantrips, which are
fixed in your mind.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="preparing-and-casting-spells-3">
<title>Preparing and Casting Spells</title>
<para>
The Wizard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your wizard spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of
these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or
higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a
long rest.
</para>
<para>
You prepare the list of wizard spells that are available for
you to cast. To do so, choose a number of wizard spells from
your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your
wizard level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a
level for which you have spell slots.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you’re a 3rd-level wizard, you have four
1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence
of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of
1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your
spellbook. If you prepare the 1st-level spell <emphasis>magic
missile</emphasis>, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a
2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your
list of prepared spells.
</para>
<para>
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a
long rest. Preparing a new list of wizard spells requires time
spent studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantations
and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1
minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spellcasting-ability-7">
<title>Spellcasting Ability</title>
<para>
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard
spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study
and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell
refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your
Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a
wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Spell save DC</emphasis> = 8 + your
proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Spell attack modifier</emphasis> =
your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ritual-casting-3">
<title>Ritual Casting</title>

You can cast a wizard spell as a ritual if that spell has the
ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don’t
need to have the spell prepared.
</para>
</section>

wizard spells.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="learning-spells-of-1st-level-and-higher">
<title>Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher</title>
<para>
Each time you gain a wizard level, you can add two wizard
spells of your choice to your spellbook for free. Each of
these spells must be of a level for which you have spell
slots, as shown on the Wizard table. On your adventures, you
might find other spells that you can add to your spellbook
(see the <quote>Your Spellbook</quote>).
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="arcane-recovery">
<title>Arcane Recovery</title>
<para>
You have learned to regain some of your magical energy by
studying your spellbook. Once per day when you finish a short
rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell
slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than
half your wizard level (rounded up), and none of the slots can
be 6th level or higher.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you’re a 4th-level wizard, you can recover up to
two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a
2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="arcane-tradition">
<title>Arcane Tradition</title>
<para>
When you reach 2nd level, you choose an arcane tradition,
shaping your practice of magic through one of eight schools:
Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation,
Illusion, Necromancy, or Transmutation, all detailed at the end
of the class description.
</para>
<para>
Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th,
10th, and 14th level.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ability-score-improvement-11">
<title>Ability Score Improvement</title>
<para>
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. As
normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this
feature.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spell-mastery">
<title>Spell Mastery</title>
<para>
At 18th level, you have achieved such mastery over certain
spells that you can cast them at will. Choose a 1st-level wizard
spell and a 2nd-level wizard spell that are in your spellbook.
You can cast those spells at their lowest level without
expending a spell slot when you have them prepared. If you want
to cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend a spell
slot as normal.
</para>
<para>
By spending 8 hours in study, you can exchange one or both of
the spells you chose for different spells of the same levels.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="signature-spells">
<title>Signature Spells</title>
<para>
When you reach 20th level, you gain mastery over two powerful
spells and can cast them with little effort. Choose two
3rd-level wizard spells in your spellbook as your signature
spells. You always have these spells prepared, they don’t count
against the number of spells you have prepared, and you can cast
each of them once at 3rd level without expending a spell slot.
When you do so, you can’t do so again until you finish a short
or long rest.
</para>
<para>
If you want to cast either spell at a higher level, you must
expend a spell slot as normal.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="arcane-traditions">
<title>Arcane Traditions</title>
<para>
The study of wizardry is ancient, stretching back to the
earliest mortal discoveries of magic. It is firmly established
in fantasy gaming worlds, with various traditions dedicated to
its complex study.
</para>
<para>
The most common arcane traditions in the multiverse revolve
around the schools of magic. Wizards through the ages have
cataloged thousands of spells, grouping them into eight
categories called schools. In some places, these traditions are
literally schools; a wizard might study at the School of
Illusion while another studies across town at the School of
Enchantment. In other institutions, the schools are more like
academic departments, with rival faculties competing for
students and funding. Even wizards who train apprentices in the
solitude of their own towers use the division of magic into
schools as a learning device, since the spells of each school
require mastery of different techniques.
</para>
<section xml:id="school-of-evocation">
<title>School of Evocation</title>
<para>
You focus your study on magic that creates powerful elemental
effects such as bitter cold, searing flame, rolling thunder,
crackling lightning, and burning acid. Some evokers find
employment in military forces, serving as artillery to blast
enemy armies from afar. Others use their spectacular power to
protect the weak, while some seek their own gain as bandits,
adventurers, or aspiring tyrants.
</para>
<section xml:id="evocation-savant">
<title>Evocation Savant</title>
<para>
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, the gold
and time you must spend to copy an evocation spell into your
spellbook is halved.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sculpt-spells">
<title>Sculpt Spells</title>
<para>
Beginning at 2nd level, you can create pockets of relative
safety within the effects of your evocation spells. When you
cast an evocation spell that affects other creatures that
you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 +
the spell’s level. The chosen creatures automatically
succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they
take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a
successful save.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="potent-cantrip">
<title>Potent Cantrip</title>
<para>
Starting at 6th level, your damaging cantrips affect even
creatures that avoid the brunt of the effect. When a
creature succeeds on a saving throw against your cantrip,
the creature takes half the cantrip’s damage (if any) but
suffers no additional effect from the cantrip.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="empowered-evocation">
<title>Empowered Evocation</title>
<para>
Beginning at 10th level, you can add your Intelligence
modifier to one damage roll of any wizard evocation spell
you cast.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="overchannel">
<title>Overchannel</title>
<para>
Starting at 14th level, you can increase the power of your
simpler spells. When you cast a wizard spell of 1st through
5th level that deals damage, you can deal maximum damage
with that spell.
</para>
<para>
The first time you do so, you suffer no adverse effect. If
you use this feature again before you finish a long rest,
you take 2d12 necrotic damage for each level of the spell,
immediately after you cast it. Each time you use this
feature again before finishing a long rest, the necrotic
damage per spell level increases by 1d12. This damage
ignores resistance and immunity.
</para>
<blockquote>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Your Spellbook</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
The spells that you add to your spellbook as you gain
levels reflect the arcane research you conduct on your
own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had
about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other
spells during your adventures. You could discover a spell
recorded on a scroll in an evil wizard’s chest, for
example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Copying a Spell into the
Book</emphasis></emphasis>. When you find a wizard spell
of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook
if it is of a spell level you can prepare and if you can
spare the time to decipher and copy it.
</para>
<para>
Copying that spell into your spellbook involves
reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering
the unique system of notation used by the wizard who wrote
it. You must practice the spell until you understand the
sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your
spellbook using your own notation.
</para>
<para>
For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and
costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you
expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as
well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have
spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just
like your other spells.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Replacing the
Book</emphasis></emphasis>. You can copy a spell from your
own spellbook into another book-for example, if you want
to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like
copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and
easier, since you understand your own notation and already
know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and
10 gp for each level of the copied spell.
</para>
<para>
*If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same
procedure to transcribe the spells that you have prepared
into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your
spellbook requires you to find new spells to do so, as
normal. For this reason, many wizards keep backup
spellbooks in a safe place.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>The Book’s
Appearance</emphasis></emphasis>. Your spellbook is a
unique compilation of spells, with its own decorative
flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain,
functional leather volume that you received as a gift from
your master, a finely bound gilt-edged tome you found in
an ancient library, or even a loose collection of notes
scrounged together after you lost your previous spellbook
in a mishap.

<title>Multiclassing</title>
<para>
Multiclassing allows you to gain levels in multiple classes. Doing
so lets you mix the abilities of those classes to realize a
character concept that might not be reflected in one of the
standard class options.
</para>
<para>
With this rule, you have the option of gaining a level in a new
class whenever you advance in level, instead of gaining a level in
your current class. Your levels in all your classes are added
together to determine your character level. For example, if you
have three levels in wizard and two in fighter, you’re a 5th-level
character.
</para>
<para>
As you advance in levels, you might primarily remain a member of
your original class with just a few levels in another class, or
you might change course entirely, never looking back at the class
you left behind. You might even start progressing in a third or
fourth class. Compared to a single-class character of the same
level, you’ll sacrifice some focus in exchange for versatility.
</para>
<section xml:id="prerequisites">
<title>Prerequisites</title>
<para>
To qualify for a new class, you must meet the ability score
prerequisites for both your current class and your new one, as
shown in the Multiclassing Prerequisites table. For example, a
barbarian who decides to multiclass into the druid class must
have both Strength and Wisdom scores of 13 or higher. Without
the full training that a beginning character receives, you must
be a quick study in your new class, having a natural aptitude
that is reflected by higher- than-average ability scores.

<section xml:id="experience-points">
<title>Experience Points</title>
<para>
The experience point cost to gain a level is always based on
your total character level, as shown in the Character
Advancement table, not your level in a particular class. So, if
you are a cleric 6/fighter 1, you must gain enough XP to reach
8th level before you can take your second level as a fighter or
your seventh level as a cleric.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="hit-points-and-hit-dice">
<title>Hit Points and Hit Dice</title>
<para>
You gain the hit points from your new class as described for
levels after 1st. You gain the 1st-level hit points for a class
only when you are a 1st-level character.
</para>
<para>
You add together the Hit Dice granted by all your classes to
form your pool of Hit Dice. If the Hit Dice are the same die
type, you can simply pool them together. For example, both the
fighter and the paladin have a d10, so if you are a paladin
5/fighter 5, you have ten d10 Hit Dice. If your classes give you
Hit Dice of different types, keep track of them separately. If
you are a paladin 5/cleric 5, for example, you have five d10 Hit
Dice and five d8 Hit Dice.
</para>
</section>

<title>Proficiency Bonus</title>
<para>
Your proficiency bonus is always based on your total character
level, as shown in the Character Advancement table in chapter 1,
not your level in a particular class. For example, if you are a
fighter 3/rogue 2, you have the proficiency bonus of a 5th-
level character, which is +3.

<section xml:id="class-features-12">
<title>Class Features</title>
<para>
When you gain a new level in a class, you get its features for
that level. You don’t, however, receive the class’s starting
equipment, and a few features have additional rules when you’re
multiclassing: Channel Divinity, Extra Attack, Unarmored Defense,
and Spellcasting.
</para>
<section xml:id="channel-divinity-3">
<title>Channel Divinity</title>
<para>
If you already have the Channel Divinity feature and gain a
level in a class that also grants the feature, you gain the
Channel Divinity effects granted by that class, but getting the
feature again doesn’t give you an additional use of it. You gain
additional uses only when you reach a class level that
explicitly grants them to you. For example, if you are a cleric
6/paladin 4, you can use Channel Divinity twice between rests
because you are high enough level in the cleric class to have
more uses. Whenever you use the feature, you can choose any of
the Channel Divinity effects available to you from your two
classes.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="extra-attack-5">
<title>Extra Attack</title>
<para>
If you gain the Extra Attack class feature from more than one
class, the features don’t add together. You can’t make more than
two attacks with this feature unless it says you do (as the
fighter’s version of Extra Attack does). Similarly, the
warlock’s eldritch invocation Thirsting Blade doesn’t give you
additional attacks if you also have Extra Attack.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="unarmored-defense-2">
<title>Unarmored Defense</title>
<para>
If you already have the Unarmored Defense feature, you can’t
gain it again from another class.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spellcasting-7">
<title>Spellcasting</title>
<para>
Your capacity for spellcasting depends partly on your combined
levels in all your spellcasting classes and partly on your
individual levels in those classes. Once you have the
Spellcasting feature from more than one class, use the rules
below. If you multiclass but have the Spellcasting feature from
only one class, you follow the rules as described in that class.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Spells Known and
Prepared</emphasis></emphasis>. You determine what spells you
know and can prepare for each class individually, as if you were
a single-classed member of that class. If you are a ranger
4/wizard 3, for example, you know three 1st-level ranger spells
based on your levels in the ranger class. As 3rd-level wizard,
you know three wizard cantrips, and your spellbook contains ten
wizard spells, two of which (the two you gained when you reached
3rd level as a wizard) can be 2nd-level spells. If your
Intelligence is 16, you can prepare six wizard spells from your
spellbook.
</para>
<para>
Each spell you know and prepare is associated with one of your
classes, and you use the spellcasting ability of that class when
you cast the spell. Similarly, a spellcasting focus, such as a
holy symbol, can be used only for the spells from the class
associated with that focus.
</para>
<para>
If a cantrip of yours increases in power at higher levels, the
increase is based on your character level, not your level in a
particular class
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Spell
Slots</emphasis></emphasis>. You determine your available spell
slots by adding together all your levels in the bard, cleric,
druid, sorcerer, and wizard classes, and half your levels
(rounded down) in the paladin and ranger classes. Use this total
to determine your spell slots by consulting the Multiclass
Spellcaster table.
</para>
<para>
If you have more than one spellcasting class, this table might
give you spell slots of a level that is higher than the spells
you know or can prepare. You can use those slots, but only to
cast your lower-level spells. If a lower-level spell that you
cast, like <emphasis>burning hands</emphasis>, has an enhanced
effect when cast using a higher-level slot, you can use the
enhanced effect, even though you don’t have any spells of that
higher level.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you are the aforementioned ranger 4/wizard 3,
you count as a 5th-level character when determining your spell
slots: you have four 1st-level slots, three 2nd-level slots, and
two 3rd-level slots. However, you don’t know any 3rd-level
spells, nor do you know any 2nd-level ranger spells. You can use
the spell slots of those levels to cast the spells you do
know-and potentially enhance their effects.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Pact
Magic</emphasis></emphasis>. If you have both the Spellcasting
class feature and the Pact Magic class feature from the warlock
class, you can use the spell slots you gain from the Pact Magic
feature to cast spells you know or have prepared from classes
with the Spellcasting class feature, and you can use the spell
slots you gain from the Spellcasting class feature to cast
warlock spells you know.

<title>Feats</title>
<para>
A feat represents a talent or an area of expertise that gives a
character special capabilities. It embodies training, experience,
and abilities beyond what a class provides.
</para>
<para>
At certain levels, your class gives you the Ability Score
Improvement feature. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo
taking that feature to take a feat of your choice instead. You can
take each feat only once, unless the feat’s description says
otherwise.
</para>
<para>
You must meet any prerequisite specified in a feat to take that
feat. If you ever lose a feat’s prerequisite, you can’t use that
feat until you regain the prerequisite. For example, the Grappler
feat requires you to have a Strength of 13 or higher. If your
Strength is reduced below 13 somehow-perhaps by a withering
curse-you can’t benefit from the Grappler feat until your Strength
is restored.

<title>Alignment</title>
<para>
A typical creature in the game world has an alignment, which
broadly describes its moral and personal attitudes. Alignment is a
combination of two factors: one identifies morality (good, evil,
or neutral), and the other describes attitudes toward society and
order (lawful, chaotic, or neutral). Thus, nine distinct
alignments define the possible combinations.
</para>
<para>
These brief summaries of the nine alignments describe the typical
behavior of a creature with that alignment. Individuals might vary
significantly from that typical behavior, and few people are
perfectly and consistently faithful to the precepts of their
alignment.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Lawful good</emphasis> (LG) creatures can
be counted on to do the right thing as expected by society. Gold
dragons, paladins, and most dwarves are lawful good.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Neutral good</emphasis> (NG) folk do the
best they can to help others according to their needs. Many
celestials, some cloud giants, and most gnomes are neutral good.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Chaotic good</emphasis> (CG) creatures act
as their conscience directs, with little regard for what others
expect. Copper dragons, many elves, and unicorns are chaotic good.
</para>

<emphasis role="strong">Lawful neutral</emphasis> (LN) individuals
act in accordance with law, tradition, or personal codes. Many
monks and some wizards are lawful neutral.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Neutral</emphasis> (N) is the alignment of
those who prefer to steer clear of moral questions and don’t take
sides, doing what seems best at the time. Lizardfolk, most druids,
and many humans are neutral.

<section xml:id="alignment-in-the-multiverse">
<title>Alignment in the Multiverse</title>
<para>
For many thinking creatures, alignment is a moral choice.
Humans, dwarves, elves, and other humanoid races can choose
whether to follow the paths of good or evil, law or chaos.
According to myth, the good- aligned gods who created these
races gave them free will to choose their moral paths, knowing
that good without free will is slavery.
</para>
<para>
The evil deities who created other races, though, made those
races to serve them. Those races have strong inborn tendencies
that match the nature of their gods. Most orcs share the
violent, savage nature of the orc gods, and are thus inclined
toward evil. Even if an orc chooses a good alignment, it
struggles against its innate tendencies for its entire life.
(Even half-orcs feel the lingering pull of the orc god’s
influence.)
</para>
<para>
Alignment is an essential part of the nature of celestials and
fiends. A devil does not choose to be lawful evil, and it
doesn’t tend toward lawful evil, but rather it is lawful evil in
its essence. If it somehow ceased to be lawful evil, it would
cease to be a devil.
</para>
<para>
Most creatures that lack the capacity for rational thought do
not have alignments-they are
<emphasis role="strong">unaligned</emphasis>. Such a creature is
incapable of making a moral or ethical choice and acts according
to its bestial nature. Sharks are savage predators, for example,
but they are not evil; they have no alignment.
</para>

<section xml:id="languages-1">
<title>Languages</title>
<para>
Your race indicates the languages your character can speak by
default, and your background might give you access to one or more
additional languages of your choice. Note these languages on your
character sheet.
</para>
<para>
Choose your languages from the Standard Languages table, or choose
one that is common in your campaign. With your GM’s permission,
you can instead choose a language from the Exotic Languages table
or a secret language, such as thieves’ cant or the tongue of
druids.
</para>
<para>
Some of these languages are actually families of languages with
many dialects. For example, the Primordial language includes the
Auran, Aquan, Ignan, and Terran dialects, one for each of the four
elemental planes. Creatures that speak different dialects of the
same language can communicate with one another.

<title>Inspiration</title>
<para>
Inspiration is a rule the game master can use to reward you for
playing your character in a way that’s true to his or her
personality traits, ideal, bond, and flaw. By using inspiration,
you can draw on your personality trait of compassion for the
downtrodden to give you an edge in negotiating with the Beggar
Prince. Or inspiration can let you call on your bond to the
defense of your home village to push past the effect of a spell
that has been laid on you.
</para>
<section xml:id="gaining-inspiration">
<title>Gaining Inspiration</title>
<para>
Your GM can choose to give you inspiration for a variety of
reasons. Typically, GMs award it when you play out your
personality traits, give in to the drawbacks presented by a flaw
or bond, and otherwise portray your character in a compelling
way. Your GM will tell you how you can earn inspiration in the
game.
</para>
<para>
You either have inspiration or you don’t - you can’t stockpile
multiple <quote>inspirations</quote> for later use.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="using-inspiration">
<title>Using Inspiration</title>
<para>
If you have inspiration, you can expend it when you make an
attack roll, saving throw, or ability check. Spending your
inspiration gives you advantage on that roll.
</para>
<para>
Additionally, if you have inspiration, you can reward another
player for good roleplaying, clever thinking, or simply doing
something exciting in the game. When another player character
does something that really contributes to the story in a fun and
interesting way, you can give up your inspiration to give that
character inspiration.

<section xml:id="backgrounds">
<title>Backgrounds</title>
<para>
Every story has a beginning. Your character’s background reveals
where you came from, how you became an adventurer, and your place
in the world. Your fighter might have been a courageous knight or
a grizzled soldier. Your wizard could have been a sage or an
artisan. Your rogue might have gotten by as a guild thief or
commanded audiences as a jester.
</para>
<para>
Choosing a background provides you with important story cues about
your character’s identity. The most important question to ask
about your background is <emphasis>what changed</emphasis>? Why
did you stop doing whatever your background describes and start
adventuring? Where did you get the money to purchase your starting
gear, or, if you come from a wealthy background, why don’t you
have <emphasis>more</emphasis> money? How did you learn the skills
of your class? What sets you apart from ordinary people who share
your background?
</para>
<para>
The sample backgrounds in this chapter provide both concrete
benefits (features, proficiencies, and languages) and roleplaying
suggestions.
</para>
<section xml:id="proficiencies-13">
<title>Proficiencies</title>
<para>
Each background gives a character proficiency in two skills
(described in <quote>Using Ability Scores</quote>).
</para>
<para>
In addition, most backgrounds give a character proficiency with
one or more tools (detailed in <quote>Equipment</quote>).
</para>
<para>
If a character would gain the same proficiency from two
different sources, he or she can choose a different proficiency
of the same kind (skill or tool) instead.
</para>

A background contains suggested personal characteristics based

for characteristics of your own creation.

</section>
<section xml:id="customizing-a-background">
<title>Customizing a Background</title>
<para>
You might want to tweak some of the features of a background so
it better fits your character or the campaign setting. To
customize a background, you can replace one feature with any
other one, choose any two skills, and choose a total of two tool
proficiencies or languages from the sample backgrounds. You can
either use the equipment package from your background or spend
coin on gear as described in the equipment section. (If you
spend coin, you can’t also take the equipment package suggested
for your class.) Finally, choose two personality traits, one
ideal, one bond, and one flaw. If you can’t find a feature that
matches your desired background, work with your GM to create
one.
</para>

<section xml:id="acolyte">
<title>Acolyte</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
Choose a god, a pantheon of gods, or some other quasi-divine
being from among those listed in <quote>Fantasy-Historical
Pantheons</quote> or those specified by your GM, and work with
your GM to detail the nature of your religious service. 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.

<para>
As an acolyte, you command the respect of those who share your
faith, and you can perform the religious ceremonies of your
deity. You and your adventuring companions can expect to
receive free healing and care at a temple, shrine, or other
established presence of your faith, though you must provide
any material components needed for spells. Those who share
your religion will support you (but only you) at a modest
lifestyle.
</para>
<para>
You might also have ties to a specific temple dedicated to
your chosen deity or pantheon, and you have a residence there.
This could be the temple where you used to serve, if you
remain on good terms with it, or a temple where you have found
a new home. While near your temple, you can call upon the
priests for assistance, provided the assistance you ask for is
not hazardous and you remain in good standing with your
temple.

Acolytes are shaped by their experience in temples or other
religious communities. Their study of the history and tenets
of their faith and their relationships to temples, shrines, or

or bond taken to an extreme.

<title>Coinage</title>
<para>
Common coins come in several different denominations based on
the relative worth of the metal from which they are made. The
three most common coins are the gold piece (gp), the silver
piece (sp), and the copper piece (cp).
</para>
<para>
With one gold piece, a character can buy a bedroll, 50 feet of
good rope, or a goat. A skilled (but not exceptional) artisan
can earn one gold piece a day. The old piece is the standard
unit of measure for wealth, even if the coin itself is not
commonly used. When merchants discuss deals that involve goods
or services worth hundreds or thousands of gold pieces, the
transactions don’t usually involve the exchange of individual
coins. Rather, the gold piece is a standard measure of value,
and the actual exchange is in gold bars, letters of credit, or
valuable goods.
</para>
<para>
One gold piece is worth ten silver pieces, the most prevalent
coin among commoners. A silver piece buys a laborer’s work for
half a day, a flask of lamp oil, or a night’s rest in a poor
inn.
</para>
<para>
One silver piece is worth ten copper pieces, which are common
among laborers and beggars. A single copper piece buys a candle,
a torch, or a piece of chalk.
</para>
<para>
In addition, unusual coins made of other precious metals
sometimes appear in treasure hoards. The electrum piece (ep) and
the platinum piece (pp) originate from fallen empires and lost
kingdoms, and they sometimes arouse suspicion and skepticism
when used in transactions. An electrum piece is worth five
silver pieces, and a platinum piece is worth ten gold pieces.
</para>
<para>
A standard coin weighs about a third of an ounce, so fifty coins
weigh a pound.

Opportunities abound to find treasure, equipment, weapons,

other settlement, provided that you can find buyers and
merchants interested in your loot.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Arms, Armor, and Other
Equipment</emphasis></emphasis>. As a general rule, undamaged
weapons, armor, and other equipment fetch half their cost when

in good enough condition to sell.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Magic
Items</emphasis></emphasis>. Selling magic items is problematic.
Finding someone to buy a potion or a scroll isn’t too hard, but
other items are out of the realm of most but the wealthiest
nobles. Likewise, aside from a few common magic items, you won’t
normally come across magic items or spells to purchase. The
value of magic is far beyond simple gold and should always be
treated as such.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Gems, Jewelry, and Art
Objects</emphasis></emphasis>. These items retain their full
value in the marketplace, and you can either trade them in for
coin or use them as currency for other transactions. For
exceptionally valuable treasures, the GM might require you to
find a buyer in a large town or larger community first.

Fantasy gaming worlds are a vast tapestry made up of many

reason, adventurers have access to a variety of armor types,
ranging from leather armor to chain mail to costly plate armor,
with several other kinds of armor in between. The Armor table
collects the most commonly available types of armor found in the
game and separates them into three categories: light armor, medium
armor, and heavy armor. Many warriors supplement their armor with
a shield.

armor or strap a shield to an arm. Only those proficient in the
armor’s use know how to wear it effectively, however. Your class

(AC)</emphasis></emphasis>. Armor protects its wearer from
attacks. The armor (and shield) you wear determines your base
Armor Class.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Heavy
Armor</emphasis></emphasis>. Heavier armor interferes with the
wearer’s ability to move quickly, stealthily, and freely. If the
Armor table shows <quote>Str 13</quote> or <quote>Str 15</quote>
in the Strength column for an armor type, the armor reduces the
wearer’s speed by 10 feet unless the wearer has a Strength score
equal to or higher than the listed score.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Stealth</emphasis></emphasis>.
If the Armor table shows <quote>Disadvantage</quote> in the
Stealth column, the wearer has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth)
checks.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Shields</emphasis></emphasis>. A
shield is made from wood or metal and is carried in one hand.
Wielding a shield increases your Armor Class by 2. You can benefit
from only one shield at a time.
</para>
<section xml:id="light-armor">
<title>Light Armor</title>
<para>
Made from supple and thin materials, light armor favors agile
adventurers since it offers some protection without sacrificing
mobility. If you wear light armor, you add your Dexterity
modifier to the base number from your armor type to determine
your Armor Class.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Padded</emphasis></emphasis>.
Padded armor consists of quilted layers of cloth and batting.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Leather</emphasis></emphasis>.
The breastplate and shoulder protectors of this armor are made
of leather that has been stiffened by being boiled in oil. The
rest of the armor is made of softer and more flexible materials.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Studded
Leather</emphasis></emphasis>. Made from tough but flexible
leather, studded leather is reinforced with close-set rivets or
spikes.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="medium-armor">
<title>Medium Armor</title>
<para>
Medium armor offers more protection than light armor, but it
also impairs movement more. If you wear medium armor, you add
your Dexterity modifier, to a maximum of +2, to the base number
from your armor type to determine your Armor Class.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Hide</emphasis></emphasis>.
This crude armor consists of thick furs and pelts. It is
commonly worn by barbarian tribes, evil humanoids, and other
folk who lack access to the tools and materials needed to create
better armor.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Chain
Shirt</emphasis></emphasis>. Made of interlocking metal rings, a
chain shirt is worn between layers of clothing or leather. This
armor offers modest protection to the wearer’s upper body and
allows the sound of the rings rubbing against one another to be
muffled by outer layers.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Scale
Mail</emphasis></emphasis>. This armor consists of a coat and
leggings (and perhaps a separate skirt) of leather covered with
overlapping pieces of metal, much like the scales of a fish. The
suit includes gauntlets.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Breastplate</emphasis></emphasis>.
This armor consists of a fitted metal chest piece worn with
supple leather. Although it leaves the legs and arms relatively
unprotected, this armor provides good protection for the
wearer’s vital organs while leaving the wearer relatively
unencumbered.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Half
Plate</emphasis></emphasis>. Half plate consists of shaped metal
plates that cover most of the wearer’s body. It does not include
leg protection beyond simple greaves that are attached with
leather straps.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="heavy-armor">
<title>Heavy Armor</title>
<para>
Of all the armor categories, heavy armor offers the best
protection. These suits of armor cover the entire body and are
designed to stop a wide range of attacks. Only proficient
warriors can manage their weight and bulk.
</para>
<para>
Heavy armor doesn’t let you add your Dexterity modifier to your
Armor Class, but it also doesn’t penalize you if your Dexterity
modifier is negative.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ring
Mail</emphasis></emphasis>. This armor is leather armor with
heavy rings sewn into it. The rings help reinforce the armor
against blows from swords and axes. Ring mail is inferior to
chain mail, and it’s usually worn only by those who can’t afford
better armor.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Chain
Mail</emphasis></emphasis>. Made of interlocking metal rings,
chain mail includes a layer of quilted fabric worn underneath
the mail to prevent chafing and to cushion the impact of blows.
The suit includes gauntlets.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Splint</emphasis></emphasis>.
This armor is made of narrow vertical strips of metal riveted to
a backing of leather that is worn over cloth padding. Flexible
chain mail protects the joints.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Plate</emphasis></emphasis>.
Plate consists of shaped, interlocking metal plates to cover the
entire body. A suit of plate includes gauntlets, heavy leather
boots, a visored helmet, and thick layers of padding underneath
the armor. Buckles and straps distribute the weight over the
body.

<section xml:id="weapons">
<title>Weapons</title>
<para>
Your class grants proficiency in certain weapons, reflecting both
the class’s focus and the tools you are most likely to use.
Whether you favor a longsword or a longbow, your weapon and your
ability to wield it effectively can mean the difference between
life and death while adventuring.
</para>
<para>
The Weapons table shows the most common weapons used in the
fantasy gaming worlds, their price and weight, the damage they
deal when they hit, and any special properties they possess. Every
weapon is classified as either melee or ranged. A
<emphasis role="strong">melee weapon</emphasis> is used to attack
a target within 5 feet of you, whereas a
<emphasis role="strong">ranged weapon</emphasis> is used to attack
a target at a distance.
</para>
<section xml:id="weapon-proficiency">
<title>Weapon Proficiency</title>
<para>
Your race, class, and feats can grant you proficiency with
certain weapons or categories of weapons. The two categories are
<emphasis role="strong">simple</emphasis> and
<emphasis role="strong">martial</emphasis>. Most people can use
simple weapons with proficiency. These weapons include clubs,
maces, and other weapons often found in the hands of commoners.
Martial weapons, including swords, axes, and polearms, require
more specialized training to use effectively. Most warriors use
martial weapons because these weapons put their fighting style
and training to best use.
</para>
<para>
Proficiency with a weapon allows you to add your proficiency
bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with that
weapon. If you make an attack roll using a weapon with which you
lack proficiency, you do not add your proficiency bonus to the
attack roll.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="weapon-properties">
<title>Weapon Properties</title>
<para>
Many weapons have special properties related to their use, as
shown in the Weapons table.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ammunition</emphasis></emphasis>.
You can use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a
ranged attack only if you have ammunition to fire from the
weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one
piece of ammunition. Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case,
or other container is part of the attack (you need a free hand
to load a one-handed weapon). At the end of the battle, you can
recover half your expended ammunition by taking a minute to
search the battlefield.
</para>
<para>
If you use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a
melee attack, you treat the weapon as an improvised weapon (see
<quote>Improvised Weapons</quote> later in the section). A sling
must be loaded to deal any damage when used in this way.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Finesse</emphasis></emphasis>.
When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice
of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage
rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Heavy</emphasis></emphasis>.
Small creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy
weapons. A heavy weapon’s size and bulk make it too large for a
Small creature to use effectively.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Light</emphasis></emphasis>. A
light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for
use when fighting with two weapons.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Loading</emphasis></emphasis>.
Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire
only one piece of ammunition from it when you use an action,
bonus action, or reaction to fire it, regardless of the number
of attacks you can normally make.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Range</emphasis></emphasis>. A
weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range in
parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range
lists two numbers. The first is the weapon’s normal range in
feet, and the second indicates the weapon’s long range. When
attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on
the attack roll. You can’t attack a target beyond the weapon’s
long range.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Reach</emphasis></emphasis>.
This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it,
as well as when determining your reach for opportunity attacks
with it.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Special</emphasis></emphasis>.
A weapon with the special property has unusual rules governing
its use, explained in the weapon’s description (see
<quote>Special Weapons</quote> later in this section).
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Thrown</emphasis></emphasis>.
If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to
make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use
the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll
that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For
example, if you throw a handaxe, you use your Strength, but if
you throw a dagger, you can use either your Strength or your
Dexterity, since the dagger has the finesse property.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Two-Handed</emphasis></emphasis>.
This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Versatile</emphasis></emphasis>.
This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in
parentheses appears with the property-the damage when the weapon
is used with two hands to make a melee attack.
</para>
<section xml:id="improvised-weapons">
<title>Improvised Weapons</title>
<para>
Sometimes characters don’t have their weapons and have to
attack with whatever is at hand. An improvised weapon includes
any object you can wield in one or two hands, such as broken
glass, a table leg, a frying pan, a wagon wheel, or a dead
goblin.
</para>
<para>
Often, an improvised weapon is similar to an actual weapon and
can be treated as such. For example, a table leg is akin to a
club. At the GM’s option, a character proficient with a weapon
can use a similar object as if it were that weapon and use his
or her proficiency bonus.
</para>
<para>
An object that bears no resemblance to a weapon deals 1d4
damage (the GM assigns a damage type appropriate to the
object). If a character uses a ranged weapon to make a melee
attack, or throws a melee weapon that does not have the thrown
property, it also deals 1d4 damage. An improvised thrown
weapon has a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60
feet.
</para>
<section xml:id="silvered-weapons">
<title>Silvered Weapons</title>
<para>
Some monsters that have immunity or resistance to nonmagical
weapons are susceptible to silver weapons, so cautious
adventurers invest extra coin to plate their weapons with
silver. You can silver a single weapon or ten pieces of
ammunition for 100 gp. This cost represents not only the
price of the silver, but the time and expertise needed to
add silver to the weapon without making it less effective.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="special-weapons">
<title>Special Weapons</title>
<para>
Weapons with special rules are described here.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Lance</emphasis></emphasis>.
You have disadvantage when you use a lance to attack a
target within 5 feet of you. Also, a lance requires two
hands to wield when you aren’t mounted.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Net</emphasis></emphasis>.
A Large or smaller creature hit by a net is restrained until
it is freed. A net has no effect on creatures that are
formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature
can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing
itself or another creature within its reach on a success.
Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the
creature without harming it, ending the effect and
destroying the net.
</para>
<para>
When you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to attack
with a net, you can make only one attack regardless of the
number of attacks you can normally make.

<title>Adventuring Gear</title>
<para>
This section describes items that have special rules or require
further explanation.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Acid</emphasis></emphasis>. As
an action, you can splash the contents of this vial onto a
creature within 5 feet of you or throw the vial up to 20 feet,
shattering it on impact. In either case, make a ranged attack
against a creature or object, treating the acid as an improvised
weapon. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 acid damage.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Alchemist’s
Fire</emphasis></emphasis>. This sticky, adhesive fluid ignites
when exposed to air. As an action, you can throw this flask up to
20 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a ranged attack against a
creature or object, treating the alchemist’s fire as an improvised
weapon. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 fire damage at the start of
each of its turns. A creature can end this damage by using its
action to make a DC 10 Dexterity check to extinguish the flames.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Antitoxin</emphasis></emphasis>.
A creature that drinks this vial of liquid gains advantage on
saving throws against poison for 1 hour. It confers no benefit to
undead or constructs.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Arcane
Focus</emphasis></emphasis>. An arcane focus is a special item-an
orb, a crystal, a rod, a specially constructed staff, a wand-like
length of wood, or some similar item- designed to channel the
power of arcane spells. A sorcerer, warlock, or wizard can use
such an item as a spellcasting focus.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ball
Bearings</emphasis></emphasis>. As an action, you can spill these
tiny metal balls from their pouch to cover a level, square area
that is 10 feet on a side. A creature moving across the covered
area must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
A creature moving through the area at half speed doesn’t need to
make the save.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Block and
Tackle</emphasis></emphasis>. A set of pulleys with a cable
threaded through them and a hook to attach to objects, a block and
tackle allows you to hoist up to four times the weight you can
normally lift.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Book</emphasis></emphasis>. A
book might contain poetry, historical accounts, information
pertaining to a particular field of lore, diagrams and notes on
gnomish contraptions, or just about anything else that can be
represented using text or pictures. A book of spells is a
spellbook (described later in this section).
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Caltrops</emphasis></emphasis>.
As an action, you can spread a bag of caltrops to cover a square
area that is 5 feet on a side. Any creature that enters the area
must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or stop moving this
turn and take 1 piercing damage. Taking this damage reduces the
creature’s walking speed by 10 feet until the creature regains at
least 1 hit point. A creature moving through the area at half
speed doesn’t need to make the save.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Candle</emphasis></emphasis>.
For 1 hour, a candle sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim
light for an additional 5 feet.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Case, Crossbow
Bolt</emphasis></emphasis>. This wooden case can hold up to twenty
crossbow bolts.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Case, Map or
Scroll</emphasis></emphasis>. This cylindrical leather case can
hold up to ten rolled-up sheets of paper or five rolled-up sheets
of parchment.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Chain</emphasis></emphasis>. A
chain has 10 hit points. It can be burst with a successful DC 20
Strength check.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Climber’s
Kit</emphasis></emphasis>. A climber’s kit includes special
pitons, boot tips, gloves, and a harness. You can use the
climber’s kit as an action to anchor yourself; when you do, you
can’t fall more than 25 feet from the point where you anchored
yourself, and you can’t climb more than 25 feet away from that
point without undoing the anchor.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Component
Pouch</emphasis></emphasis>. A component pouch is a small,
watertight leather belt pouch that has compartments to hold all
the material components and other special items you need to cast
your spells, except for those components that have a specific cost
(as indicated in a spell’s description).
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Crowbar</emphasis></emphasis>.
Using a crowbar grants advantage to Strength checks where the
crowbar’s leverage can be applied.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Druidic
Focus</emphasis></emphasis>. A druidic focus might be a sprig of
mistletoe or holly, a wand or scepter made of yew or another
special wood, a staff drawn whole out of a living tree, or a totem
object incorporating feathers, fur, bones, and teeth from sacred
animals. A druid can use such an object as a spellcasting focus.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Fishing
Tackle</emphasis></emphasis>. This kit includes a wooden rod,
silken line, corkwood bobbers, steel hooks, lead sinkers, velvet
lures, and narrow netting. Healer’s Kit. This kit is a leather
pouch containing bandages, salves, and splints. The kit has ten
uses. As an action, you can expend one use of the kit to stabilize
a creature that has 0 hit points, without needing to make a Wisdom
(Medicine) check.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Holy
Symbol</emphasis></emphasis>. A holy symbol is a representation of
a god or pantheon. It might be an amulet depicting a symbol
representing a deity, the same symbol carefully engraved or inlaid
as an emblem on a shield, or a tiny box holding a fragment of a
sacred relic. Appendix PH-B <quote>Fantasy-Historical
Pantheons</quote> lists the symbols commonly associated with many
gods in the multiverse. A cleric or paladin can use a holy symbol
as a spellcasting focus. To use the symbol in this way, the caster
must hold it in hand, wear it visibly, or bear it on a shield.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Holy
Water</emphasis></emphasis>. As an action, you can splash the
contents of this flask onto a creature within 5 feet of you or
throw it up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. In either case,
make a ranged attack against a target creature, treating the holy
water as an improvised weapon. If the target is a fiend or undead,
it takes 2d6 radiant damage. A cleric or paladin may create holy
water by performing a special ritual. The ritual takes 1 hour to
perform, uses 25 gp worth of powdered silver, and requires the
caster to expend a 1st-level spell slot.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Hunting
Trap</emphasis></emphasis>. When you use your action to set it,
this trap forms a saw-toothed steel ring that snaps shut when a
creature steps on a pressure plate in the center. The trap is
affixed by a heavy chain to an immobile object, such as a tree or
a spike driven into the ground. A creature that steps on the plate
must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4
piercing damage and stop moving. Thereafter, until the creature
breaks free of the trap, its movement is limited by the length of
the chain (typically 3 feet long). A creature can use its action
to make a DC 13 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature
within its reach on a success. Each failed check deals 1 piercing
damage to the trapped creature.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Lamp</emphasis></emphasis>. A
lamp casts bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an
additional 30 feet. Once lit, it burns for 6 hours on a flask (1
pint) of oil. Lantern, Bullseye. A bullseye lantern casts bright
light in a 60-foot cone and dim light for an additional 60 feet.
Once lit, it burns for 6 hours on a flask (1 pint) of oil.
Lantern, Hooded. A hooded lantern casts bright light in a 30-foot
radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. Once lit, it burns
for 6 hours on a flask (1 pint) of oil. As an action, you can
lower the hood, reducing the light to dim light in a 5-foot
radius.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Lock</emphasis></emphasis>. A
key is provided with the lock. Without the key, a creature
proficient with thieves’ tools can pick this lock with a
successful DC 15 Dexterity check. Your GM may decide that better
locks are available for higher prices.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Magnifying
Glass</emphasis></emphasis>. This lens allows a closer look at
small objects. It is also useful as a substitute for flint and
steel when starting fires. Lighting a fire with a magnifying glass
requires light as bright as sunlight to focus, tinder to ignite,
and about 5 minutes for the fire to ignite. A magnifying glass
grants advantage on any ability check made to appraise or inspect
an item that is small or highly detailed.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Manacles</emphasis></emphasis>.
These metal restraints can bind a Small or Medium creature.
Escaping the manacles requires a successful DC 20 Dexterity check.
Breaking them requires a successful DC 20 Strength check. Each set
of manacles comes with one key. Without the key, a creature
proficient with thieves’ tools can pick the manacles’ lock with a
successful DC 15 Dexterity check. Manacles have 15 hit points.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Mess Kit</emphasis></emphasis>.
This tin box contains a cup and simple cutlery. The box clamps
together, and one side can be used as a cooking pan and the other
as a plate or shallow bowl.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Oil</emphasis></emphasis>. Oil
usually comes in a clay flask that holds 1 pint. As an action, you
can splash the oil in this flask onto a creature within 5 feet of
you or throw it up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a
ranged attack against a target creature or object, treating the
oil as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target is covered in
oil. If the target takes any fire damage before the oil dries
(after 1 minute), the target takes an additional 5 fire damage
from the burning oil. You can also pour a flask of oil on the
ground to cover a 5-foot square area, provided that the surface is
level. If lit, the oil burns for 2 rounds and deals 5 fire damage
to any creature that enters the area or ends its turn in the area.
A creature can take this damage only once per turn.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Poison,
Basic</emphasis></emphasis>. You can use the poison in this vial
to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or up to three pieces of
ammunition. Applying the poison takes an action. A creature hit by
the poisoned weapon or ammunition must make a DC 10 Constitution
saving throw or take 1d4 poison damage. Once applied, the poison
retains potency for 1 minute before drying.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Potion of
Healing</emphasis></emphasis>. A character who drinks the magical
red fluid in this vial regains 2d4 + 2 hit points. Drinking or
administering a potion takes an action.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Pouch</emphasis></emphasis>. A
cloth or leather pouch can hold up to 20 sling bullets or 50
blowgun needles, among other things. A compartmentalized pouch for
holding spell components is called a component pouch (described
earlier in this section). Quiver. A quiver can hold up to 20
arrows. Ram, Portable. You can use a portable ram to break down
doors. When doing so, you gain a +4 bonus on the Strength check.
One other character can help you use the ram, giving you advantage
on this check.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Rations</emphasis></emphasis>.
Rations consist of dry foods suitable for extended travel,
including jerky, dried fruit, hardtack, and nuts.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Rope</emphasis></emphasis>.
Rope, whether made of hemp or silk, has 2 hit points and can be
burst with a DC 17 Strength check.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Scale,
Merchant’s</emphasis></emphasis>. A scale includes a small
balance, pans, and a suitable assortment of weights up to 2
pounds. With it, you can measure the exact weight of small
objects, such as raw precious metals or trade goods, to help
determine their worth.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Spellbook</emphasis></emphasis>.
Essential for wizards, a spellbook is a leather-bound tome with
100 blank vellum pages suitable for recording spells.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Spyglass</emphasis></emphasis>.
Objects viewed through a spyglass are magnified to twice their
size.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Tent</emphasis></emphasis>. A
simple and portable canvas shelter, a tent sleeps two.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Tinderbox</emphasis></emphasis>.
This small container holds flint, fire steel, and tinder (usually
dry cloth soaked in light oil) used to kindle a fire. Using it to
light a torch-or anything else with abundant, exposed fuel-takes
an action. Lighting any other fire takes 1 minute.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Torch</emphasis></emphasis>. A
torch burns for 1 hour, providing bright light in a 20-foot radius
and dim light for an additional 20 feet. If you make a melee
attack with a burning torch and hit, it deals 1 fire damage.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Equipment Packs</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
The starting equipment you get from your class includes a
collection of useful adventuring gear, put together in a pack. The
contents of these packs are listed here. If you are buying your
starting equipment, you can purchase a pack for the price shown,
which might be cheaper than buying the items individually.

<title>Tools</title>
<para>
A tool helps you to do something you couldn’t otherwise do, such
as craft or repair an item, forge a document, or pick a lock. Your
race, class, background, or feats give you proficiency with
certain tools. Proficiency with a tool allows you to add your
proficiency bonus to any ability check you make using that tool.
Tool use is not tied to a single ability, since proficiency with a
tool represents broader knowledge of its use. For example, the GM
might ask you to make a Dexterity check to carve a fine detail
with your woodcarver’s tools, or a Strength check to make
something out of particularly hard wood.

<section xml:id="mounts-and-vehicles">
<title>Mounts and Vehicles</title>
<para>
A good mount can help you move more quickly through the
wilderness, but its primary purpose is to carry the gear that
would otherwise slow you down. The Mounts and Other Animals table
shows each animal’s speed and base carrying capacity.
</para>
<para>
An animal pulling a carriage, cart, chariot, sled, or wagon can
move weight up to five times its base carrying capacity, including
the weight of the vehicle. If multiple animals pull the same
vehicle, they can add their carrying capacity together.
</para>
<para>
Mounts other than those listed here are available in fantasy
gaming worlds, but they are rare and not normally available for
purchase. These include flying mounts (pegasi, griffons,
hippogriffs, and similar animals) and even aquatic mounts (giant
sea horses, for example). Acquiring such a mount often means
securing an egg and raising the creature yourself, making a
bargain with a powerful entity, or negotiating with the mount
itself.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Barding</emphasis></emphasis>.
Barding is armor designed to protect an animal’s head, neck,
chest, and body. Any type of armor shown on the Armor table can be
purchased as barding. The cost is four times the equivalent armor
made for humanoids, and it weighs twice as much.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Saddles</emphasis></emphasis>. A
military saddle braces the rider, helping you keep your seat on an
active mount in battle. It gives you advantage on any check you
make to remain mounted. An exotic saddle is required for riding
any aquatic or flying mount.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Vehicle
Proficiency</emphasis></emphasis>. If you have proficiency with a
certain kind of vehicle (land or water), you can add your
proficiency bonus to any check you make to control that kind of
vehicle in difficult circumstances.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Rowed
Vessels</emphasis></emphasis>. Keelboats and rowboats are used on
lakes and rivers. If going downstream, add the speed of the
current (typically 3 miles per hour) to the speed of the vehicle.
These vehicles can’t be rowed against any significant current, but
they can be pulled upstream by draft animals on the shores. A
rowboat weighs 100 pounds, in case adventurers carry it over land.

Most wealth is not in coins. It is measured in livestock, grain,
land, rights to collect taxes, or rights to resources (such as a
mine or a forest).
</para>
<para>
Guilds, nobles, and royalty regulate trade. Chartered companies
are granted rights to conduct trade along certain routes, to send
merchant ships to various ports, or to buy or sell specific goods.
Guilds set prices for the goods or services that they control, and
determine who may or may not offer those goods and services.
Merchants commonly exchange trade goods without using currency.

<title>Expenses</title>
<para>
When not descending into the depths of the earth, exploring ruins
for lost treasures, or waging war against the encroaching
darkness, adventurers face more mundane realities. Even in a
fantastical world, people require basic necessities such as
shelter, sustenance, and clothing. These things cost money,
although some lifestyles cost more than others.
</para>
<section xml:id="lifestyle-expenses">
<title>Lifestyle Expenses</title>
<para>
Lifestyle expenses provide you with a simple way to account for
the cost of living in a fantasy world. They cover your
accommodations, food and drink, and all your other necessities.
Furthermore, expenses cover the cost of maintaining your
equipment so you can be ready when adventure next calls.
</para>
<para>
At the start of each week or month (your choice), choose a
lifestyle from the Expenses table and pay the price to sustain
that lifestyle. The prices listed are per day, so if you wish to
calculate the cost of your chosen lifestyle over a thirty-day
period, multiply the listed price by 30. Your lifestyle might
change from one period to the next, based on the funds you have
at your disposal, or you might maintain the same lifestyle
throughout your character’s career.
</para>
<para>
Your lifestyle choice can have consequences. Maintaining a
wealthy lifestyle might help you make contacts with the rich and
powerful, though you run the risk of attracting thieves.
Likewise, living frugally might help you avoid criminals, but
you are unlikely to make powerful connections.

<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Wretched</emphasis></emphasis>.
You live in inhumane conditions. With no place to call home, you
shelter wherever you can, sneaking into barns, huddling in old
crates, and relying on the good graces of people better off than
you. A wretched lifestyle presents abundant dangers. Violence,
disease, and hunger follow you wherever you go. Other wretched
people covet your armor, weapons, and adventuring gear, which
represent a fortune by their standards. You are beneath the
notice of most people.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Squalid</emphasis></emphasis>.
You live in a leaky stable, a mud-floored hut just outside town,
or a vermin-infested boarding house in the worst part of town.
You have shelter from the elements, but you live in a desperate
and often violent environment, in places rife with disease,
hunger, and misfortune. You are beneath the notice of most
people, and you have few legal protections. Most people at this
lifestyle level have suffered some terrible setback. They might
be disturbed, marked as exiles, or suffer from disease.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Poor</emphasis></emphasis>. A
poor lifestyle means going without the comforts available in a
stable community. Simple food and lodgings, threadbare clothing,
and unpredictable conditions result in a sufficient, though
probably unpleasant, experience. Your accommodations might be a
room in a flophouse or in the common room above a tavern. You
benefit from some legal protections, but you still have to
contend with violence, crime, and disease. People at this
lifestyle level tend to be unskilled laborers, costermongers,
peddlers, thieves, mercenaries, and other disreputable types.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Modest</emphasis></emphasis>.
A modest lifestyle keeps you out of the slums and ensures that
you can maintain your equipment. You live in an older part of
town, renting a room in a boarding house, inn, or temple. You
don’t go hungry or thirsty, and your living conditions are
clean, if simple. Ordinary people living modest lifestyles
include soldiers with families, laborers, students, priests,
hedge wizards, and the like.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Comfortable</emphasis></emphasis>.
Choosing a comfortable lifestyle means that you can afford nicer
clothing and can easily maintain your equipment. You live in a
small cottage in a middle-class neighborhood or in a private
room at a fine inn. You associate with merchants, skilled
tradespeople, and military officers.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Wealthy</emphasis></emphasis>.
Choosing a wealthy lifestyle means living a life of luxury,
though you might not have achieved the social status associated
with the old money of nobility or royalty. You live a lifestyle
comparable to that of a highly successful merchant, a favored
servant of the royalty, or the owner of a few small businesses.
You have respectable lodgings, usually a spacious home in a good
part of town or a comfortable suite at a fine inn. You likely
have a small staff of servants.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Aristocratic</emphasis></emphasis>.
You live a life of plenty and comfort. You move in circles
populated by the most powerful people in the community. You have
excellent lodgings, perhaps a townhouse in the nicest part of
town or rooms in the finest inn. You dine at the best
restaurants, retain the most skilled and fashionable tailor, and
have servants attending to your every need. You receive
invitations to the social gatherings of the rich and powerful,
and spend evenings in the company of politicians, guild leaders,
high priests, and nobility. You must also contend with the
highest levels of deceit and treachery. The wealthier you are,
the greater the chance you will be drawn into political intrigue
as a pawn or participant.

<emphasis role="strong">Self-Sufficiency</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
The expenses and lifestyles described here assume that you are
spending your time between adventures in town, availing
yourself of whatever services you can afford-paying for food
and shelter, paying townspeople to sharpen your sword and
repair your armor, and so on. Some characters, though, might
prefer to spend their time away from civilization, sustaining
themselves in the wild by hunting, foraging, and repairing
their own gear.
</para>
<para>
Maintaining this kind of lifestyle doesn’t require you to
spend any coin, but it is time-consuming. If you spend your
time between adventures practicing a profession, you can eke
out the equivalent of a poor lifestyle. Proficiency in the
Survival skill lets you live at the equivalent of a
comfortable lifestyle.

<title>Services</title>
<para>
Adventurers can pay nonplayer characters to assist them or act
on their behalf in a variety of circumstances. Most such
hirelings have fairly ordinary skills, while others are masters
of a craft or art, and a few are experts with specialized
adventuring skills.
</para>
<para>
Some of the most basic types of hirelings appear on the Services
table. Other common hirelings include any of the wide variety of
people who inhabit a typical town or city, when the adventurers
pay them to perform a specific task. For example, a wizard might
pay a carpenter to construct an elaborate chest (and its
miniature replica) for use in the <emphasis>secret
chest</emphasis> spell. A fighter might commission a blacksmith
to forge a special sword. A bard might pay a tailor to make
exquisite clothing for an upcoming performance in front of the
duke.
</para>
<para>
Other hirelings provide more expert or dangerous services.
Mercenary soldiers paid to help the adventurers take on a
hobgoblin army are hirelings, as are sages hired to research
ancient or esoteric lore. If a high-level adventurer establishes
a stronghold of some kind, he or she might hire a whole staff of
servants and agents to run the place, from a castellan or
steward to menial laborers to keep the stables clean. These
hirelings often enjoy a long-term contract that includes a place
to live within the stronghold as part of the offered
compensation.
</para>
<para>
Skilled hirelings include anyone hired to perform a service that
involves a proficiency (including weapon, tool, or skill): a
mercenary, artisan, scribe, and so on. The pay shown is a
minimum; some expert hirelings require more pay. Untrained
hirelings are hired for menial work that requires no particular
skill and can include laborers, porters, maids, and similar
workers.

<title>Spellcasting Services</title>
<para>
People who are able to cast spells don’t fall into the category
of ordinary hirelings. It might be possible to find someone
willing to cast a spell in exchange for coin or favors, but it
is rarely easy and no established pay rates exist. As a rule,
the higher the level of the desired spell, the harder it is to
find someone who can cast it and the more it costs.
</para>
<para>
Hiring someone to cast a relatively common spell of 1st or 2nd
level, such as <emphasis>cure wounds</emphasis> or
<emphasis>identify</emphasis>, is easy enough in a city or town,
and might cost 10 to 50 gold pieces (plus the cost of any
expensive material components). Finding someone able and willing
to cast a higher-level spell might involve traveling to a large
city, perhaps one with a university or prominent temple. Once
found, the spellcaster might ask for a service instead of
payment-the kind of service that only adventurers can provide,
such as retrieving a rare item from a dangerous locale or
traversing a monster-infested wilderness to deliver something
important to a distant settlement.

Is a character muscle-bound and insightful? Brilliant and

qualities-a creature’s assets as well as weaknesses.
</para>
<para>
The three main rolls of the game-the ability check, the saving
throw, and the attack roll-rely on the six ability scores. The
book’s introduction describes the basic rule behind these rolls:
roll a d20, add an ability modifier derived from one of the six
ability scores, and compare the total to a target number.
</para>
<section xml:id="ability-scores-and-modifiers">
<title>Ability Scores and Modifiers</title>
<para>
Each of a creature’s abilities has a score, a number that
defines the magnitude of that ability. An ability score is not
just a measure of innate capabilities, but also encompasses a
creature’s training and competence in activities related to that
ability.
</para>
<para>
A score of 10 or 11 is the normal human average, but adventurers
and many monsters are a cut above average in most abilities. A
score of 18 is the highest that a person usually reaches.
Adventurers can have scores as high as 20, and monsters and
divine beings can have scores as high as 30.
</para>
<para>
Each ability also has a modifier, derived from the score and
ranging from -5 (for an ability score of 1) to +10 (for a score
of 30). The Ability Scores and Modifiers table notes the ability
modifiers for the range of possible ability scores, from 1 to
30.

<para>
To determine an ability modifier without consulting the table,
subtract 10 from the ability score and then divide the total by
2 (round down).
</para>
<para>
Because ability modifiers affect almost every attack roll,
ability check, and saving throw, ability modifiers come up in
play more often than their associated scores.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="advantage-and-disadvantage">
<title>Advantage and Disadvantage</title>
<para>
Sometimes a special ability or spell tells you that you have
advantage or disadvantage on an ability check, a saving throw, or
an attack roll. When that happens, you roll a second d20 when you
make the roll. Use the higher of the two rolls if you have
advantage, and use the lower roll if you have disadvantage. For
example, if you have disadvantage and roll a 17 and a 5, you use
the 5. If you instead have advantage and roll those numbers, you
use the 17.
</para>
<para>
If multiple situations affect a roll and each one grants advantage
or imposes disadvantage on it, you don’t roll more than one
additional d20. If two favorable situations grant advantage, for
example, you still roll only one additional d20.
</para>
<para>
If circumstances cause a roll to have both advantage and
disadvantage, you are considered to have neither of them, and you
roll one d20. This is true even if multiple circumstances impose
disadvantage and only one grants advantage or vice versa. In such
a situation, you have neither advantage nor disadvantage.
</para>
<para>
When you have advantage or disadvantage and something in the game,
such as the halfling’s Lucky trait, lets you reroll or replace the
d20, you can reroll or replace only one of the dice. You choose
which one. For example, if a halfling has advantage or
disadvantage on an ability check and rolls a 1 and a 13, the
halfling could use the Lucky trait to reroll the 1.
</para>
<para>
You usually gain advantage or disadvantage through the use of
special abilities, actions, or spells. Inspiration can also give a
character advantage. The
</para>
<para>
GM can also decide that circumstances influence a roll in one
direction or the other and grant advantage or impose disadvantage
as a result.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="proficiency-bonus-1">
<title>Proficiency Bonus</title>
<para>
Characters have a proficiency bonus determined by level. Monsters
also have this bonus, which is incorporated in their stat blocks.
The bonus is used in the rules on ability checks, saving throws,
and attack rolls.
</para>
<para>
Your proficiency bonus can’t be added to a single die roll or
other number more than once. For example, if two different rules
say you can add your proficiency bonus to a Wisdom saving throw,
you nevertheless add the bonus only once when you make the save.
</para>
<para>
Occasionally, your proficiency bonus might be multiplied or
divided (doubled or halved, for example) before you apply it. For
example, the rogue’s Expertise feature doubles the proficiency
bonus for certain ability checks. If a circumstance suggests that
your proficiency bonus applies more than once to the same roll,
you still add it only once and multiply or divide it only once.
</para>
<para>
By the same token, if a feature or effect allows you to multiply
your proficiency bonus when making an ability check that wouldn’t
normally benefit from your proficiency bonus, you still don’t add
the bonus to the check. For that check your proficiency bonus is
0, given the fact that multiplying 0 by any number is still 0. For
instance, if you lack proficiency in the History skill, you gain
no benefit from a feature that lets you double your proficiency
bonus when you make Intelligence (History) checks.
</para>
<para>
In general, you don’t multiply your proficiency bonus for attack
rolls or saving throws. If a feature or effect allows you to do
so, these same rules apply.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ability-checks">
<title>Ability Checks</title>
<para>
An ability check tests a character’s or monster’s innate talent
and training in an effort to overcome a challenge. The GM calls
for an ability check when a character or monster attempts an
action (other than an attack) that has a chance of failure. When
the outcome is uncertain, the dice determine the results.
</para>
<para>
For every ability check, the GM decides which of the six abilities
is relevant to the task at hand and the difficulty of the task,
represented by a Difficulty Class.
</para>

The more difficult a task, the higher its DC. The Typical
Difficulty Classes table shows the most common DCs.

<para>
To make an ability check, roll a d20 and add the relevant ability
modifier. As with other d20 rolls, apply bonuses and penalties,
and compare the total to the DC. If the total equals or exceeds
the DC, the ability check is a success-the creature overcomes the
challenge at hand. Otherwise, it’s a failure, which means the
character or monster makes no progress toward the objective or
makes progress combined with a setback determined by the GM.
</para>
<section xml:id="contests">
<title>Contests</title>
<para>
Sometimes one character’s or monster’s efforts are directly
opposed to another’s. This can occur when both of them are
trying to do the same thing and only one can succeed, such as
attempting to snatch up a magic ring that has fallen on the
floor. This situation also applies when one of them is trying to
prevent the other one from accomplishing a goal- for example,
when a monster tries to force open a door that an adventurer is
holding closed. In situations like these, the outcome is
determined by a special form of ability check, called a contest.
</para>
<para>
Both participants in a contest make ability checks appropriate
to their efforts. They apply all appropriate bonuses and
penalties, but instead of comparing the total to a DC, they
compare the totals of their two checks. The participant with the
higher check total wins the contest. That character or monster
either succeeds at the action or prevents the other one from
succeeding.
</para>
<para>
If the contest results in a tie, the situation remains the same
as it was before the contest. Thus, one contestant might win the
contest by default. If two characters tie in a contest to snatch
a ring off the floor, neither character grabs it. In a contest
between a monster trying to open a door and an adventurer trying
to keep the door closed, a tie means that the door remains shut.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="skills">
<title>Skills</title>
<para>
Each ability covers a broad range of capabilities, including
skills that a character or a monster can be proficient in. A
skill represents a specific aspect of an ability score, and an
individual’s proficiency in a skill demonstrates a focus on that
aspect. (A character’s starting skill proficiencies are
determined at character creation, and a monster’s skill
proficiencies appear in the monster’s stat block.)
</para>
<para>
For example, a Dexterity check might reflect a character’s
attempt to pull off an acrobatic stunt, to palm an object, or to
stay hidden. Each of these aspects of Dexterity has an
associated skill: Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth,
respectively. So a character who has proficiency in the Stealth
skill is particularly good at Dexterity checks related to
sneaking and hiding.
</para>
<para>
The skills related to each ability score are shown in the
following list. (No skills are related to Constitution.) See an
ability’s description in the later sections of this section for
examples of how to use a skill associated with an ability.

<para>
Sometimes, the GM might ask for an ability check using a
specific skill-for example, <quote>Make a Wisdom (Perception)
check.</quote> At other times, a player might ask the GM if
proficiency in a particular skill applies to a check. In either
case, proficiency in a skill means an individual can add his or
her proficiency bonus to ability checks that involve that skill.
Without proficiency in the skill, the individual makes a normal
ability check.
</para>
<para>
For example, if a character attempts to climb up a dangerous
cliff, the GM might ask for a Strength (Athletics) check. If the
character is proficient in Athletics, the character’s
proficiency bonus is added to the Strength check. If the
character lacks that proficiency, he or she just makes a
Strength check.
</para>
<section xml:id="variant-skills-with-different-abilities">
<title>Variant: Skills with Different Abilities</title>
<para>
Normally, your proficiency in a skill applies only to a
specific kind of ability check. Proficiency in Athletics, for
example, usually applies to Strength checks. In some
situations, though, your proficiency might reasonably apply to
a different kind of check. In such cases, the GM might ask for
a check using an unusual combination of ability and skill, or
you might ask your GM if you can apply a proficiency to a
different check. For example, if you have to swim from an
offshore island to the mainland, your GM might call for a
Constitution check to see if you have the stamina to make it
that far. In this case, your GM might allow you to apply your
proficiency in Athletics and ask for a Constitution
(Athletics) check. So if you’re proficient in Athletics, you
apply your proficiency bonus to the Constitution check just as
you would normally do for a Strength (Athletics) check.
Similarly, when your half-orc barbarian uses a display of raw
strength to intimidate an enemy, your GM might ask for a
Strength (Intimidation) check, even though Intimidation is
normally associated with Charisma.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="passive-checks">
<title>Passive Checks</title>
<para>
A passive check is a special kind of ability check that doesn’t
involve any die rolls. Such a check can represent the average
result for a task done repeatedly, such as searching for secret
doors over and over again, or can be used when the GM wants to
secretly determine whether the characters succeed at something
without rolling dice, such as noticing a hidden monster.
</para>
<para>
Here’s how to determine a character’s total for a passive check:
</para>
<para>
10 + all modifiers that normally apply to the check
</para>
<para>
If the character has advantage on the check, add 5. For
disadvantage, subtract 5. The game refers to a passive check
total as a <emphasis role="strong">score</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
For example, if a 1st-level character has a Wisdom of 15 and
proficiency in Perception, he or she has a passive Wisdom
(Perception) score of 14.
</para>
<para>
The rules on hiding in the <quote>Dexterity</quote> section
below rely on passive checks, as do the exploration rules.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="working-together">
<title>Working Together</title>
<para>
Sometimes two or more characters team up to attempt a task. The
character who’s leading the effort-or the one with the highest
ability modifier-can make an ability check with advantage,
reflecting the help provided by the other characters. In combat,
this requires the Help action.
</para>
<para>
A character can only provide help if the task is one that he or
she could attempt alone. For example, trying to open a lock
requires proficiency with thieves’ tools, so a character who
lacks that proficiency can’t help another character in that
task. Moreover, a character can help only when two or more
individuals working together would actually be productive. Some
tasks, such as threading a needle, are no easier with help.
</para>
<section xml:id="group-checks">
<title>Group Checks</title>
<para>
When a number of individuals are trying to accomplish
something as a group, the GM might ask for a group ability
check. In such a situation, the characters who are skilled at
a particular task help cover those who aren’t.
</para>
<para>
To make a group ability check, everyone in the group makes the
ability check. If at least half the group succeeds, the whole
group succeeds. Otherwise, the group fails.
</para>
<para>
Group checks don’t come up very often, and they’re most useful
when all the characters succeed or fail as a group. For
example, when adventurers are navigating a swamp, the GM might
call for a group Wisdom (Survival) check to see if the
characters can avoid the quicksand, sinkholes, and other
natural hazards of the environment. If at least half the group
succeeds, the successful characters are able to guide their
companions out of danger. Otherwise, the group stumbles into
one of these hazards.

Your Dexterity (Acrobatics) check covers your attempt to
stay on your feet in a tricky situation, such as when you’re
trying to run across a sheet of ice, balance on a tightrope,
or stay upright on a rocking ship’s deck. The GM might also
call for a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to see if you can

<emphasis role="strong">Hiding</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
The DM decides when circumstances are appropriate for
hiding. When you try to hide, make a Dexterity (Stealth)
check. Until you are discovered or you stop hiding, that
check’s total is contested by the Wisdom (Perception)
check of any creature that actively searches for signs of
your presence.
</para>
<para>
You can’t hide from a creature that can see you clearly,
and you give away your position if you make noise, such as
shouting a warning or knocking over a vase.
</para>
<para>
An invisible creature can always try to hide. Signs of its
passage might still be noticed, and it does have to stay
quiet.
</para>
<para>
In combat, most creatures stay alert for signs of danger
all around, so if you come out of hiding and approach a
creature, it usually sees you. However, under certain
circumstances, the DM might allow you to stay hidden as
you approach a creature that is distracted, allowing you
to gain advantage on an attack roll before you are seen.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Passive
Perception</emphasis></emphasis>. When you hide, there’s a
chance someone will notice you even if they aren’t
searching. To determine whether such a creature notices
you, the DM compares your Dexterity (Stealth) check with
that creature’s passive Wisdom (Perception) score, which
equals 10 + the creature’s Wisdom modifier, as well as any
other bonuses or penalties. If the creature has advantage,
add 5. For disadvantage, subtract 5. For example, if a
1st-level character (with a proficiency bonus of +2) has a
Wisdom of 15 (a +2 modifier) and proficiency in
Perception, he or she has a passive Wisdom (Perception) of
14.
</para>

If your Constitution modifier changes, your hit point
maximum changes as well, as though you had the new modifier
from 1st level. For example, if you raise your Constitution
score when you reach 4th level and your Constitution
modifier increases from +1 to +2, you adjust your hit point
maximum as though the modifier had always been +2. So you
add 3 hit points for your first three levels, and then roll

A Wisdom check might reflect an effort to read body

reflect aptitude in certain kinds of Wisdom checks.
</para>
<para>

whether you can calm down a domesticated animal, keep a

<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Insight</emphasis></emphasis>.
Your Wisdom (Insight) check decides whether you can

<para>
A Charisma check might arise when you try to influence or
entertain others, when you try to make an impression or tell
a convincing lie, or when you are navigating a tricky social
situation. The Deception, Intimidation, Performance, and
Persuasion skills reflect aptitude in certain kinds of
Charisma checks.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Deception</emphasis></emphasis>.
Your Charisma (Deception) check determines whether you can
convincingly hide the truth, either verbally or through your
actions. This deception can encompass everything from
misleading others through ambiguity to telling outright
lies. Typical situations include trying to fast-talk a
guard, con a merchant, earn money through gambling, pass
yourself off in a disguise, dull someone’s suspicions with
false assurances, or maintain a straight face while telling
a blatant lie.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Intimidation</emphasis></emphasis>.
When you attempt to influence someone through overt threats,
hostile actions, and physical violence, the GM might ask you
to make a Charisma (Intimidation) check. Examples include

street thugs to back down from a confrontation, or using the
edge of a broken bottle to convince a sneering vizier to
reconsider a decision.

When you attempt to influence someone or a group of people
with tact, social graces, or good nature, the GM might ask

<title>Saving Throws</title>
<para>
A saving throw-also called a save-represents an attempt to resist
a spell, a trap, a poison, a disease, or a similar threat. You
don’t normally decide to make a saving throw; you are forced to
make one because your character or monster is at risk of harm.
</para>
<para>
To make a saving throw, roll a d20 and add the appropriate ability
modifier. For example, you use your Dexterity modifier for a
Dexterity saving throw.
</para>
<para>
A saving throw can be modified by a situational bonus or penalty
and can be affected by advantage and disadvantage, as determined
by the GM.
</para>
<para>
Each class gives proficiency in at least two saving throws. The
wizard, for example, is proficient in Intelligence saves. As with
skill proficiencies, proficiency in a saving throw lets a
character add his or her proficiency bonus to saving throws made
using a particular ability score. Some monsters have saving throw
proficiencies as well.
</para>
<para>
The Difficulty Class for a saving throw is determined by the
effect that causes it. For example, the DC for a saving throw
allowed by a spell is determined by the caster’s spellcasting
ability and proficiency bonus.
</para>
<para>
The result of a successful or failed saving throw is also detailed
in the effect that allows the save. Usually, a successful save
means that a creature suffers no harm, or reduced harm, from an
effect.

<title>Time</title>
<para>
In situations where keeping track of the passage of time is
important, the GM determines the time a task requires. The GM
might use a different time scale depending on the context of the
situation at hand. In a dungeon environment, the adventurers’
movement happens on a scale of
<emphasis role="strong">minutes</emphasis>. It takes them about a
minute to creep down a long hallway, another minute to check for
traps on the door at the end of the hall, and a good ten minutes
to search the chamber beyond for anything interesting or valuable.
</para>
<para>
In a city or wilderness, a scale of
<emphasis role="strong">hours</emphasis> is often more
appropriate. Adventurers eager to reach the lonely tower at the
heart of the forest hurry across those fifteen miles in just under
four hours’ time.
</para>
<para>
For long journeys, a scale of
<emphasis role="strong">days</emphasis> works best.
</para>
<para>
Following the road from Baldur’s Gate to Waterdeep, the
adventurers spend four uneventful days before a goblin ambush
interrupts their journey.

<emphasis role="strong">rounds</emphasis>, a 6-second span of
time.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="movement">
<title>Movement</title>
<para>
Swimming across a rushing river, sneaking down a dungeon corridor,
scaling a treacherous mountain slope-all sorts of movement play a
key role in fantasy gaming adventures.
</para>
<para>
The GM can summarize the adventurers’ movement without calculating
exact distances or travel times: <quote>You travel through the
forest and find the dungeon entrance late in the evening of the
third day.</quote> Even in a dungeon, particularly a large dungeon
or a cave network, the GM can summarize movement between
encounters: <quote>After killing the guardian at the entrance to
the ancient dwarven stronghold, you consult your map, which leads
you through miles of echoing corridors to a chasm bridged by a
narrow stone arch.</quote>
</para>
<para>
Sometimes it’s important, though, to know how long it takes to get
from one spot to another, whether the answer is in days, hours, or
minutes. The rules for determining travel time depend on two
factors: the speed and travel pace of the creatures moving and the
terrain they’re moving over.
</para>
<section xml:id="speed-1">
<title>Speed</title>
<para>
Every character and monster has a speed, which is the distance
in feet that the character or monster can walk in 1 round. This
number assumes short bursts of energetic movement in the midst
of a life-threatening situation.
</para>
<para>
The following rules determine how far a character or monster can
move in a minute, an hour, or a day.
</para>
<section xml:id="travel-pace">
<title>Travel Pace</title>
<para>
While traveling, a group of adventurers can move at a normal,
fast, or slow pace, as shown on the Travel Pace table. The
table states how far the party can move in a period of time
and whether the pace has any effect. A fast pace makes
characters less perceptive, while a slow pace makes it
possible to sneak around and to search an area more carefully.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Forced
March</emphasis></emphasis>. The Travel Pace table assumes
that characters travel for 8 hours in day. They can push on
beyond that limit, at the risk of exhaustion.
</para>
<para>
For each additional hour of travel beyond 8 hours, the
characters cover the distance shown in the Hour column for
their pace, and each character must make a Constitution saving
throw at the end of the hour. The DC is 10 + 1 for each hour
past 8 hours. On a failed saving throw, a character suffers
one level of exhaustion (see appendix ##).
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Mounts and
Vehicles</emphasis></emphasis>. For short spans of time (up to
an hour), many animals move much faster than humanoids. A
mounted character can ride at a gallop for about an hour,
covering twice the usual distance for a fast pace. If fresh
mounts are available every 8 to 10 miles, characters can cover
larger distances at this pace, but this is very rare except in
densely populated areas.
</para>
<para>
Characters in wagons, carriages, or other land vehicles choose
a pace as normal. Characters in a waterborne vessel are
limited to the speed of the vessel, and they don’t suffer
penalties for a fast pace or gain benefits from a slow pace.
Depending on the vessel and the size of the crew, ships might
be able to travel for up to 24 hours per day.

<title>The Environment</title>
<para>
By its nature, adventuring involves delving into places that are
dark, dangerous, and full of mysteries to be explored. The rules
in this section cover some of the most important ways in which
adventurers interact with the environment in such places.
</para>
<section xml:id="falling">
<title>Falling</title>
<para>
A fall from a great height is one of the most common hazards
facing an adventurer. At the end of a fall, a creature takes 1d6
bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it fell, to a maximum of
20d6. The creature lands prone, unless it avoids taking damage
from the fall.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="suffocating">
<title>Suffocating</title>
<para>
A creature can hold its breath for a number of minutes equal to
1 + its Constitution modifier (minimum of 30 seconds).
</para>
<para>
When a creature runs out of breath or is choking, it can survive
for a number of rounds equal to its Constitution modifier
(minimum of 1 round). At the start of its next turn, it drops to
0 hit points and is dying, and it can’t regain hit points or be
stabilized until it can breathe again.
</para>
<para>
For example, a creature with a Constitution of 14 can hold its
breath for 3 minutes. If it starts suffocating, it has 2 rounds
to reach air before it drops to 0 hit points.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="vision-and-light">
<title>Vision and Light</title>
<para>
The most fundamental tasks of adventuring- noticing danger,
finding hidden objects, hitting an enemy in combat, and
targeting a spell, to name just a few-rely heavily on a
character’s ability to see. Darkness and other effects that
obscure vision can prove a significant hindrance.
</para>
<para>
A given area might be lightly or heavily obscured. In a
<emphasis role="strong">lightly obscured</emphasis> area, such
as dim light, patchy fog, or moderate foliage, creatures have
disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
</para>
<para>
A <emphasis role="strong">heavily obscured</emphasis> area-such
as darkness, opaque fog, or dense foliage-blocks vision
entirely. A creature effectively suffers from the blinded
condition (see appendix ##) when trying to see something in that
area.
</para>
<para>
The presence or absence of light in an environment creates three
categories of illumination: bright light, dim light, and
darkness.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Bright light</emphasis> lets most
creatures see normally.
</para>
<para>
Even gloomy days provide bright light, as do torches, lanterns,
fires, and other sources of illumination within a specific
radius.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Dim light</emphasis>, also called
shadows, creates a lightly obscured area. An area of dim light
is usually a boundary between a source of bright light, such as
a torch, and surrounding darkness. The soft light of twilight
and dawn also counts as dim light. A particularly brilliant full
moon might bathe the land in dim light.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Darkness</emphasis> creates a heavily
obscured area.
</para>
<para>
Characters face darkness outdoors at night (even most moonlit
nights), within the confines of an unlit dungeon or a
subterranean vault, or in an area of magical darkness.
</para>
<section xml:id="blindsight">
<title>Blindsight</title>
<para>
A creature with blindsight can perceive its surroundings
without relying on sight, within a specific radius. Creatures
without eyes, such as oozes, and creatures with echolocation
or heightened senses, such as bats and true dragons, have this
sense.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="darkvision">
<title>Darkvision</title>
<para>
Many creatures in fantasy gaming worlds, especially those that
dwell underground, have darkvision. Within a specified range,
a creature with darkvision can see in darkness as if the
darkness were dim light, so areas of darkness are only lightly
obscured as far as that creature is concerned. However, the
creature can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="truesight">
<title>Truesight</title>
<para>
A creature with truesight can, out to a specific range, see in
normal and magical darkness, see invisible creatures and
objects, automatically detect visual illusions and succeed on
saving throws against them, and perceives the original form of
a shapechanger or a creature that is transformed by magic.
Furthermore, the creature can see into the Ethereal Plane.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="food-and-water">
<title>Food and Water</title>
<para>
Characters who don’t eat or drink suffer the effects of
exhaustion (see appendix ##). Exhaustion caused by lack of food
or water can’t be removed until the character eats and drinks
the full required amount.
</para>
<section xml:id="food">
<title>Food</title>
<para>
A character needs one pound of food per day and can make food
last longer by subsisting on half rations. Eating half a pound
of food in a day counts as half a day without food.
</para>
<para>
A character can go without food for a number of days equal to
3 + his or her Constitution modifier (minimum 1). At the end
of each day beyond that limit, a character automatically
suffers one level of exhaustion.
</para>
<para>
A normal day of eating resets the count of days without food
to zero.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="water">
<title>Water</title>
<para>
A character needs one gallon of water per day, or two gallons
per day if the weather is hot. A character who drinks only
half that much water must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution
saving throw or suffer one level of exhaustion at the end of
the day. A character with access to even less water
automatically suffers one level of exhaustion at the end of
the day.
</para>
<para>
If the character already has one or more levels of exhaustion,
the character takes two levels in either case.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="interacting-with-objects">
<title>Interacting with Objects</title>
<para>
A character’s interaction with objects in an environment is
often simple to resolve in the game. The player tells the GM
that his or her character is doing something, such as moving a
lever, and the GM describes what, if anything, happens.
</para>
<para>
For example, a character might decide to pull a lever, which
might, in turn, raise a portcullis, cause a room to flood with
water, or open a secret door in a nearby wall. If the lever is
rusted in position, though, a character might need to force it.
In such a situation, the GM might call for a Strength check to
see whether the character can wrench the lever into place. The
GM sets the DC for any such check based on the difficulty of the
task.
</para>
<para>
Characters can also damage objects with their weapons and
spells. Objects are immune to poison and psychic damage, but
otherwise they can be affected by physical and magical attacks
much like creatures can. The GM determines an object’s Armor
Class and hit points, and might decide that certain objects have
resistance or immunity to certain kinds of attacks. (It’s hard
to cut a rope with a club, for example.) Objects always fail
Strength and Dexterity saving throws, and they are immune to
effects that require other saves. When an object drops to 0 hit
points, it breaks.
</para>
<para>
A character can also attempt a Strength check to break an
object. The GM sets the DC for any such check.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="resting">
<title>Resting</title>
<para>
Heroic though they might be, adventurers can’t spend every hour of
the day in the thick of exploration, social interaction, and
combat. They need rest-time to sleep and eat, tend their wounds,
refresh their minds and spirits for spellcasting, and brace
themselves for further adventure.
</para>
<para>
Adventurers can take short rests in the midst of an adventuring
day and a long rest to end the day.
</para>
<section xml:id="short-rest">
<title>Short Rest</title>
<para>
A short rest is a period of downtime, at least 1 hour long,
during which a character does nothing more strenuous than
eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds.
</para>
<para>
A character can spend one or more Hit Dice at the end of a short
rest, up to the character’s maximum number of Hit Dice, which is
equal to the character’s level. For each Hit Die spent in this
way, the player rolls the die and adds the character’s
Constitution modifier to it. The character regains hit points
equal to the total (minimum of 0). The player can decide to
spend an additional Hit Die after each roll. A character regains
some spent Hit Dice upon finishing a long rest, as explained
below.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="long-rest">
<title>Long Rest</title>
<para>
A long rest is a period of extended downtime, at least 8 hours
long, during which a character sleeps for at least 6 hours and
performs no more than 2 hours of light activity, such as
reading, talking, eating, or standing watch. If the rest is
interrupted by a period of strenuous activity-at least 1 hour of
walking, fighting, casting spells, or similar adventuring
activity-the characters must begin the rest again to gain any
benefit from it.
</para>
<para>
At the end of a long rest, a character regains all lost hit
points. The character also regains spent Hit Dice, up to a
number of dice equal to half of the character’s total number of
them (minimum of one die). For example, if a character has eight
Hit Dice, he or she can regain four spent Hit Dice upon
finishing a long rest.
</para>
<para>
A character can’t benefit from more than one long rest in a
24-hour period, and a character must have at least 1 hit point
at the start of the rest to gain its benefits.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="between-adventures">
<title>Between Adventures</title>
<para>
Between trips to dungeons and battles against ancient evils,
adventurers need time to rest, recuperate, and prepare for their
next adventure. Many adventurers also use this time to perform
other tasks, such as crafting arms and armor, performing research,
or spending their hard-earned gold.
</para>
<para>
In some cases, the passage of time is something that occurs with
little fanfare or description. When starting a new adventure, the
GM might simply declare that a certain amount of time has passed
and allow you to describe in general terms what your character has
been doing. At other times, the GM might want to keep track of
just how much time is passing as events beyond your perception
stay in motion.
</para>
<section xml:id="lifestyle-expenses-1">
<title>Lifestyle Expenses</title>
<para>
Between adventures, you choose a particular quality of life and
pay the cost of maintaining that lifestyle.
</para>
<para>
Living a particular lifestyle doesn’t have a huge effect on your
character, but your lifestyle can affect the way other
individuals and groups react to you. For example, when you lead
an aristocratic lifestyle, it might be easier for you to
influence the nobles of the city than if you live in poverty.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="downtime-activities">
<title>Downtime Activities</title>
<para>
Between adventures, the GM might ask you what your character is
doing during his or her downtime. Periods of downtime can vary
in duration, but each downtime activity requires a certain
number of days to complete before you gain any benefit, and at
least 8 hours of each day must be spent on the downtime activity
for the day to count. The days do not need to be consecutive. If
you have more than the minimum amount of days to spend, you can
keep doing the same thing for a longer period of time, or switch
to a new downtime activity.
</para>
<para>
Downtime activities other than the ones presented below are
possible. If you want your character to spend his or her
downtime performing an activity not covered here, discuss it
with your GM.
</para>
<section xml:id="crafting">
<title>Crafting</title>
<para>
You can craft nonmagical objects, including adventuring
equipment and works of art. You must be proficient with tools
related to the object you are trying to create (typically
artisan’s tools). You might also need access to special
materials or locations necessary to create it. For example,
someone proficient with smith’s tools needs a forge in order
to craft a sword or suit of armor.
</para>
<para>
For every day of downtime you spend crafting, you can craft
one or more items with a total market value not exceeding 5
gp, and you must expend raw materials worth half the total
market value. If something you want to craft has a market
value greater than 5 gp, you make progress every day in 5 gp
increments until you reach the market value of the item. For
example, a suit of plate armor (market value 1,500 gp) takes
300 days to craft by yourself.
</para>
<para>
Multiple characters can combine their efforts toward the
crafting of a single item, provided that the characters all
have proficiency with the requisite tools and are working
together in the same place. Each character contributes 5 gp
worth of effort for every day spent helping to craft the item.
For example, three characters with the requisite tool
proficiency and the proper facilities can craft a suit of
plate armor in 100 days, at a total cost of 750 gp.
</para>
<para>
While crafting, you can maintain a modest lifestyle without
having to pay 1 gp per day, or a comfortable lifestyle at half
the normal cost.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="practicing-a-profession">
<title>Practicing a Profession</title>
<para>
You can work between adventures, allowing you to maintain a
modest lifestyle without having to pay 1 gp per day. This
benefit lasts as long you continue to practice your
profession.
</para>
<para>
If you are a member of an organization that can provide
gainful employment, such as a temple or a thieves’ guild, you
earn enough to support a comfortable lifestyle instead.
</para>
<para>
If you have proficiency in the Performance skill and put your
performance skill to use during your downtime, you earn enough
to support a wealthy lifestyle instead.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="recuperating">
<title>Recuperating</title>
<para>
You can use downtime between adventures to recover from a
debilitating injury, disease, or poison.
</para>
<para>
After three days of downtime spent recuperating, you can make
a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, you
can choose one of the following results:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing="compact">
<listitem>
<para>
End one effect on you that prevents you from regaining hit
points.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
For the next 24 hours, gain advantage on saving throws
against one disease or poison currently affecting you.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</section>
<section xml:id="researching">
<title>Researching</title>
<para>
The time between adventures is a great chance to perform
research, gaining insight into mysteries that have unfurled
over the course of the campaign. Research can include poring
over dusty tomes and crumbling scrolls in a library or buying
drinks for the locals to pry rumors and gossip from their
lips.
</para>
<para>
When you begin your research, the GM determines whether the
information is available, how many days of downtime it will
take to find it, and whether there are any restrictions on
your research (such as needing to seek out a specific
individual, tome, or location). The GM might also require you
to make one or more ability checks, such as an Intelligence
(Investigation) check to find clues pointing toward the
information you seek, or a Charisma (Persuasion) check to
secure someone’s aid. Once those conditions are met, you learn
the information if it is available.
</para>
<para>
For each day of research, you must spend 1 gp to cover your
expenses. This cost is in addition to your normal lifestyle
expenses.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="training">
<title>Training</title>
<para>
You can spend time between adventures learning a new language
or training with a set of tools. Your GM might allow
additional training options.
</para>
<para>
First, you must find an instructor willing to teach you. The
GM determines how long it takes, and whether one or more
ability checks are required.
</para>
<para>
The training lasts for 250 days and costs 1 gp per day. After
you spend the requisite amount of time and money, you learn
the new language or gain proficiency with the new tool.
</para>
</section>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="combat">
<title>Combat</title>
<para>
A typical combat encounter is a clash between two sides, a flurry
of weapon swings, feints, parries, footwork, and spellcasting. The
game organizes the chaos of combat into a cycle of rounds and
turns. A <emphasis role="strong">round</emphasis> represents about
6 seconds in the game world. During a round, each participant in a
battle takes a <emphasis role="strong">turn</emphasis>. The order
of turns is determined at the beginning of a combat encounter,
when everyone rolls initiative. Once everyone has taken a turn,
the fight continues to the next round if neither side has defeated
the other.

<section xml:id="surprise">
<title>Surprise</title>
<para>
A band of adventurers sneaks up on a bandit camp, springing from
the trees to attack them. A gelatinous cube glides down a
dungeon passage, unnoticed by the adventurers until the cube
engulfs one of them. In these situations, one side of the battle
gains surprise over the other.
</para>
<para>
The GM determines who might be surprised. If neither side tries
to be stealthy, they automatically notice each other. Otherwise,
the GM compares the Dexterity (Stealth) checks of anyone hiding
with the passive Wisdom (Perception) score of each creature on
the opposing side. Any character or monster that doesn’t notice
a threat is surprised at the start of the encounter.
</para>
<para>
If you’re surprised, you can’t move or take an action on your
first turn of the combat, and you can’t take a reaction until
that turn ends. A member of a group can be surprised even if the
other members aren’t.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="initiative-1">
<title>Initiative</title>
<para>
Initiative determines the order of turns during combat. When
combat starts, every participant makes a Dexterity check to
determine their place in the initiative order. The GM makes one
roll for an entire group of identical creatures, so each member
of the group acts at the same time.
</para>
<para>
The GM ranks the combatants in order from the one with the
highest Dexterity check total to the one with the lowest. This
is the order (called the initiative order) in which they act
during each round. The initiative order remains the same from
round to round.
</para>
<para>
If a tie occurs, the GM decides the order among tied
GM-controlled creatures, and the players decide the order among
their tied characters. The GM can decide the order if the tie is
between a monster and a player character. Optionally, the GM can
have the tied characters and monsters each roll a d20 to
determine the order, highest roll going first.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="your-turn">
<title>Your Turn</title>
<para>
On your turn, you can <emphasis role="strong">move</emphasis> a
distance up to your speed and <emphasis role="strong">take one
action</emphasis>. You decide whether to move first or take your
action first. Your speed- sometimes called your walking speed-is
noted on your character sheet.
</para>
<para>
The most common actions you can take are described in the
<quote>Actions in Combat</quote> section later in this chapter.
Many class features and other abilities provide additional
options for your action.
</para>
<para>
The <quote>Movement and Position</quote> section later in this
chapter gives the rules for your move.
</para>
<para>
You can forgo moving, taking an action, or doing anything at all
on your turn. If you can’t decide what to do on your turn,
consider taking the Dodge or Ready action, as described in
<quote>Actions in Combat.</quote>
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="bonus-actions">
<title>Bonus Actions</title>
<para>
Various class features, spells, and other abilities let you take
an additional action on your turn called a bonus action. The
Cunning Action feature, for example, allows a rogue to take a
bonus action. You can take a bonus action only when a special
ability, spell, or other feature of the game states that you can
do something as a bonus action. You otherwise don’t have a bonus
action to take.
</para>
<para>
You can take only one bonus action on your turn, so you must
choose which bonus action to use when you have more than one
available.
</para>
<para>
You choose when to take a bonus action during your turn, unless
the bonus action’s timing is specified, and anything that
deprives you of your ability to take actions also prevents you
from taking a bonus action.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="other-activity-on-your-turn">
<title>Other Activity on Your Turn</title>
<para>
Your turn can include a variety of flourishes that require
neither your action nor your move.
</para>
<para>
You can communicate however you are able, through brief
utterances and gestures, as you take your turn.
</para>
<para>
You can also interact with one object or feature of the
environment for free, during either your move or your action.
For example, you could open a door during your move as you
stride toward a foe, or you could draw your weapon as part of
the same action you use to attack.
</para>
<para>
If you want to interact with a second object, you need to use
your action. Some magic items and other special objects always
require an action to use, as stated in their descriptions.
</para>
<para>
The GM might require you to use an action for any of these
activities when it needs special care or when it presents an
unusual obstacle. For instance, the GM could reasonably expect
you to use an action to open a stuck door or turn a crank to
lower a drawbridge.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="reactions">
<title>Reactions</title>
<para>
Certain special abilities, spells, and situations allow you to
take a special action called a reaction. A reaction is an instant
response to a trigger of some kind, which can occur on your turn
or on someone else’s. The opportunity attack, described later in
this chapter, is the most common type of reaction.
</para>
<para>
When you take a reaction, you can’t take another one until the
start of your next turn. If the reaction interrupts another
creature’s turn, that creature can continue its turn right after
the reaction.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="movement-and-position">
<title>Movement and Position</title>
<para>
In combat, characters and monsters are in constant motion, often
using movement and position to gain the upper hand.
</para>
<para>
On your turn, you can move a distance up to your speed. You can
use as much or as little of your speed as you like on your turn,
following the rules here.
</para>
<para>
Your movement can include jumping, climbing, and swimming. These
different modes of movement can be combined with walking, or they
can constitute your entire move. However you’re moving, you deduct
the distance of each part of your move from your speed until it is
used up or until you are done moving.
</para>
<section xml:id="breaking-up-your-move">
<title>Breaking Up Your Move</title>
<para>
You can break up your movement on your turn, using some of your
speed before and after your action. For example, if you have a
speed of 30 feet, you can move 10 feet, take your action, and
then move 20 feet.
</para>
<section xml:id="moving-between-attacks">
<title>Moving between Attacks</title>
<para>
If you take an action that includes more than one weapon
attack, you can break up your movement even further by moving
between those attacks. For example, a fighter who can make two
attacks with the Extra Attack feature and who has a speed of
25 feet could move 10 feet, make an attack, move 15 feet, and
then attack again.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="using-different-speeds">
<title>Using Different Speeds</title>
<para>
If you have more than one speed, such as your walking speed
and a flying speed, you can switch back and forth between your
speeds during your move. Whenever you switch, subtract the
distance you’ve already moved from the new speed. The result
determines how much farther you can move. If the result is 0
or less, you can’t use the new speed during the current move.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you have a speed of 30 and a flying speed of
60 because a wizard cast the <emphasis>fly</emphasis> spell on
you, you could fly 20 feet, then walk 10 feet, and then leap
into the air to fly 30 feet more.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="difficult-terrain-1">
<title>Difficult Terrain</title>
<para>
Combat rarely takes place in bare rooms or on featureless
plains. Boulder-strewn caverns, briar-choked forests,
treacherous staircases-the setting of a typical fight contains
difficult terrain.
</para>
<para>
Every foot of movement in difficult terrain costs 1 extra foot.
This rule is true even if multiple things in a space count as
difficult terrain.
</para>
<para>
Low furniture, rubble, undergrowth, steep stairs, snow, and
shallow bogs are examples of difficult terrain. The space of
another creature, whether hostile or not, also counts as
difficult terrain.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="being-prone">
<title>Being Prone</title>
<para>
Combatants often find themselves lying on the ground, either
because they are knocked down or because they throw themselves
down. In the game, they are prone, a condition described in
appendix A.
</para>
<para>
You can <emphasis role="strong">drop prone</emphasis> without
using any of your speed. <emphasis role="strong">Standing
up</emphasis> takes more effort; doing so costs an amount of
movement equal to half your speed. For example, if your speed is
30 feet, you must spend
</para>
<para>
15 feet of movement to stand up. You can’t stand up if you don’t
have enough movement left or if your speed is 0.
</para>
<para>
To move while prone, you must
<emphasis role="strong">crawl</emphasis> or use magic such as
teleportation. Every foot of movement while crawling costs 1
extra foot. Crawling 1 foot in difficult terrain, therefore,
costs 3 feet of movement.

You can move through a nonhostile creature’s space. In contrast,
you can move through a hostile creature’s space only if the
creature is at least two sizes larger or smaller than you.
Remember that another creature’s space is difficult terrain for
you.
</para>
<para>
Whether a creature is a friend or an enemy, you can’t willingly
end your move in its space.

<title>Flying Movement</title>
<para>
Flying creatures enjoy many benefits of mobility, but they must
also deal with the danger of falling. If a flying creature is
knocked prone, has its speed reduced to 0, or is otherwise
deprived of the ability to move, the creature falls, unless it
has the ability to hover or it is being held aloft by magic,
such as by the <emphasis>fly</emphasis> spell.

<section xml:id="space">
<title>Space</title>
<para>
A creature’s space is the area in feet that it effectively
controls in combat, not an expression of its physical
dimensions. A typical Medium creature isn’t 5 feet wide, for
example, but it does control a space that wide. If a Medium
hobgoblin stands in a 5-foot wide doorway, other creatures
can’t get through unless the hobgoblin lets them.
</para>
<para>
A creature’s space also reflects the area it needs to fight
effectively. For that reason, there’s a limit to the number of
creatures that can surround another creature in combat.
Assuming Medium combatants, eight creatures can fit in a
5-foot radius around another one.
</para>
<para>
Because larger creatures take up more space, fewer of them can
surround a creature. If four Large creatures crowd around a
Medium or smaller one, there’s little room for anyone else. In
contrast, as many as twenty Medium creatures can surround a
Gargantuan one.
</para>
<section xml:id="squeezing-into-a-smaller-space">
<title>Squeezing into a Smaller Space</title>
<para>
A creature can squeeze through a space that is large enough
for a creature one size smaller than it. Thus, a Large
creature can squeeze through a passage that’s only 5 feet
wide. While squeezing through a space, a creature must spend
1 extra foot for every foot it moves there, and it has
disadvantage on attack rolls and Dexterity saving throws.
Attack rolls against the creature have advantage while it’s
in the smaller space.
</para>

<section xml:id="actions-in-combat">
<title>Actions in Combat</title>
<para>
When you take your action on your turn, you can take one of the
actions presented here, an action you gained from your class or a
special feature, or an action that you improvise. Many monsters
have action options of their own in their stat blocks.
</para>
<para>
When you describe an action not detailed elsewhere in the rules,
the GM tells you whether that action is possible and what kind of
roll you need to make, if any, to determine success or failure.
</para>
<section xml:id="attack">
<title>Attack</title>
<para>
The most common action to take in combat is the Attack action,
whether you are swinging a sword, firing an arrow from a bow, or
brawling with your fists.
</para>
<para>
With this action, you make one melee or ranged attack. See the
<quote>Making an Attack</quote> section for the rules that
govern attacks.
</para>
<para>
Certain features, such as the Extra Attack feature of the
fighter, allow you to make more than one attack with this
action.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="cast-a-spell">
<title>Cast a Spell</title>
<para>
Spellcasters such as wizards and clerics, as well as many
monsters, have access to spells and can use them to great effect
in combat. Each spell has a casting time, which specifies
whether the caster must use an action, a reaction, minutes, or
even hours to cast the spell. Casting a spell is, therefore, not
necessarily an action. Most spells do have a casting time of 1
action, so a spellcaster often uses his or her action in combat
to cast such a spell.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="dash">
<title>Dash</title>
<para>
When you take the Dash action, you gain extra movement for the
current turn. The increase equals your speed, after applying any
modifiers. With a speed of 30 feet, for example, you can move up
to 60 feet on your turn if you dash.
</para>
<para>
Any increase or decrease to your speed changes this additional
movement by the same amount. If your speed of 30 feet is reduced
to 15 feet, for instance, you can move up to 30 feet this turn
if you dash.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="disengage">

If you take the Disengage action, your movement doesn’t provoke
opportunity attacks for the rest of the turn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="dodge">
<title>Dodge</title>
<para>
When you take the Dodge action, you focus entirely on avoiding
attacks. Until the start of your next turn, any attack roll made
against you has disadvantage if you can see the attacker, and
you make Dexterity saving throws with advantage. You lose this
benefit if you are incapacitated (as explained in appendix A) or
if your speed drops to 0.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="help">
<title>Help</title>
<para>
You can lend your aid to another creature in the completion of a
task. When you take the Help action, the creature you aid gains
advantage on the next ability check it makes to perform the task
you are helping with, provided that it makes the check before
the start of your next turn.
</para>
<para>
Alternatively, you can aid a friendly creature in attacking a
creature within 5 feet of you. You feint, distract the target,
or in some other way team up to make your ally’s attack more
effective. If your ally attacks the target before your next
turn, the first attack roll is made with advantage.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="hide">
<title>Hide</title>
<para>
When you take the Hide action, you make a Dexterity (Stealth)
check in an attempt to hide, following the rules for hiding. If
you succeed, you gain certain benefits, as described in the
<quote>Unseen Attackers and Targets</quote> section later in
this chapter.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ready">
<title>Ready</title>
<para>
Sometimes you want to get the jump on a foe or wait for a
particular circumstance before you act. To do so, you can take
the Ready action on your turn, which lets you act using your
reaction before the start of your next turn.
</para>
<para>
First, you decide what perceivable circumstance will trigger
your reaction. Then, you choose the action you will take in
response to that trigger, or you choose to move up to your speed
in response to it. Examples include <quote>If the cultist steps
on the trapdoor, I’ll pull the lever that opens it,</quote> and
<quote>If the goblin steps next to me, I move away.</quote>
</para>
<para>
When the trigger occurs, you can either take your reaction right
after the trigger finishes or ignore the trigger. Remember that
you can take only one reaction per round.
</para>
<para>
When you ready a spell, you cast it as normal but hold its
energy, which you release with your reaction when the trigger
occurs. To be readied, a spell must have a casting time of 1
action, and holding onto the spell’s magic requires
concentration. If your concentration is broken, the spell
dissipates without taking effect. For example, if you are
concentrating on the <emphasis>web</emphasis> spell and ready
<emphasis>magic missile</emphasis>, your
<emphasis>web</emphasis> spell ends, and if you take damage
before you release <emphasis>magic missile</emphasis> with your
reaction, your concentration might be broken.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="search">
<title>Search</title>
<para>
When you take the Search action, you devote your attention to
finding something. Depending on the nature of your search, the
GM might have you make a Wisdom (Perception) check or an
Intelligence (Investigation) check.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="use-an-object">
<title>Use an Object</title>
<para>
You normally interact with an object while doing something else,
such as when you draw a sword as part of an attack. When an
object requires your action for its use, you take the Use an
Object action. This action is also useful when you want to
interact with more than one object on your turn.

you’re making an attack.
</para>
<section xml:id="attack-rolls">
<title>Attack Rolls</title>
<para>
When you make an attack, your attack roll determines whether the
attack hits or misses. To make an attack roll, roll a d20 and
add the appropriate modifiers. If the total of the roll plus
modifiers equals or exceeds the target’s Armor Class (AC), the
attack hits. The AC of a character is determined at character
creation, whereas the AC of a monster is in its stat block.
</para>
<section xml:id="modifiers-to-the-roll">
<title>Modifiers to the Roll</title>
<para>
When a character makes an attack roll, the two most common

roll, it uses whatever modifier is provided in its stat block.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ability

<section xml:id="unseen-attackers-and-targets">
<title>Unseen Attackers and Targets</title>
<para>
Combatants often try to escape their foes’ notice by hiding,
casting the invisibility spell, or lurking in darkness.
</para>
<para>
When you attack a target that you can’t see, you have
disadvantage on the attack roll. This is true whether you’re
guessing the target’s location or you’re targeting a creature
you can hear but not see. If the target isn’t in the location
you targeted, you automatically miss, but the GM typically just
says that the attack missed, not whether you guessed the
target’s location correctly.
</para>
<para>
When a creature can’t see you, you have advantage on attack
rolls against it. If you are hidden-both unseen and unheard-when
you make an attack, you give away your location when the attack
hits or misses.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ranged-attacks">
<title>Ranged Attacks</title>
<para>
When you make a ranged attack, you fire a bow or a crossbow,
hurl a handaxe, or otherwise send projectiles to strike a foe at
a distance. A monster might shoot spines from its tail. Many
spells also involve making a ranged attack.
</para>
<section xml:id="range">
<title>Range</title>
<para>
You can make ranged attacks only against targets within a
specified range.
</para>
<para>
If a ranged attack, such as one made with a spell, has a
single range, you can’t attack a target beyond this range.
</para>
<para>
Some ranged attacks, such as those made with a longbow or a
shortbow, have two ranges. The smaller number is the normal
range, and the larger number is the long range. Your attack
roll has disadvantage when your target is beyond normal range,
and you can’t attack a target beyond the long range.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ranged-attacks-in-close-combat">
<title>Ranged Attacks in Close Combat</title>

Aiming a ranged attack is more difficult when a foe is next to

some other means, you have disadvantage on the attack roll if
you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature who can see you
and who isn’t incapacitated.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="melee-attacks">
<title>Melee Attacks</title>
<para>
Used in hand-to-hand combat, a melee attack allows you to attack
a foe within your reach. A melee attack typically uses a
handheld weapon such as a sword, a warhammer, or an axe. A
typical monster makes a melee attack when it strikes with its
claws, horns, teeth, tentacles, or other body part. A few spells
also involve making a melee attack.
</para>
<para>
Most creatures have a 5-foot
<emphasis role="strong">reach</emphasis> and can thus attack
targets within 5 feet of them when making a melee attack.
Certain creatures (typically those larger than Medium) have
melee attacks with a greater reach than 5 feet, as noted in
their descriptions.
</para>
<para>
Instead of using a weapon to make a melee weapon attack, you can
use an <emphasis role="strong">unarmed strike</emphasis>: a
punch, kick, head-butt, or similar forceful blow (none of which
count as weapons). On a hit, an unarmed strike deals bludgeoning
damage equal to 1 + your Strength modifier. You are proficient
with your unarmed strikes.
</para>
<blockquote>

</para>
<para>
Battle often involves pitting your prowess against that of
your foe. Such a challenge is represented by a contest. This

action in combat: grappling and shoving a creature. The GM can
use these contests as models for improvising others.
</para>
</blockquote>
<section xml:id="opportunity-attacks">
<title>Opportunity Attacks</title>
<para>
In a fight, everyone is constantly watching for a chance to
strike an enemy who is fleeing or passing by. Such a strike is
called an opportunity attack.
</para>
<para>
You can make an opportunity attack when a hostile creature
that you can see moves out of your reach. To make the
opportunity attack, you use your reaction to make one melee
attack against the provoking creature. The attack occurs right
before the creature leaves your reach.
</para>
<para>
You can avoid provoking an opportunity attack by taking the
Disengage action. You also don’t provoke an opportunity attack
when you teleport or when someone or something moves you
without using your movement, action, or reaction. For example,
you don’t provoke an opportunity attack if an explosion hurls
you out of a foe’s reach or if gravity causes you to fall past
an enemy.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="two-weapon-fighting-2">
<title>Two-Weapon Fighting</title>
<para>
When you take the Attack action and attack with a light melee
weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus
action to attack with a different light melee weapon that
you’re holding in the other hand. You don’t add your ability
modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that
modifier is negative.
</para>
<para>
If either weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the
weapon, instead of making a melee attack with it.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="grappling">
<title>Grappling</title>
<para>
When you want to grab a creature or wrestle with it, you can
use the Attack action to make a special melee attack, a
grapple. If you’re able to make multiple attacks with the
Attack action, this attack replaces one of them.
</para>
<para>
The target of your grapple must be no more than one size
larger than you and must be within your reach. Using at least
one free hand, you try to seize the target by making a grapple
check instead of an attack roll: a Strength (Athletics) check
contested by the target’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use).
You succeed automatically if the target is incapacitated. If
you succeed, you subject the target to the grappled condition
(see appendix ##). The condition specifies the things that end
it, and you can release the target whenever you like (no
action required).
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Escaping a

</para>
<para>
The target must be no more than one size larger than you and
must be within your reach. Instead of making an attack roll,
you make a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the

</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="cover">
<title>Cover</title>
<para>
Walls, trees, creatures, and other obstacles can provide cover
during combat, making a target more difficult to harm. A target
can benefit from cover only when an attack or other effect
originates on the opposite side of the cover.
</para>
<para>
There are three degrees of cover. If a target is behind multiple
sources of cover, only the most protective degree of cover
applies; the degrees aren’t added together. For example, if a
target is behind a creature that gives half cover and a tree
trunk that gives three-quarters cover, the target has
three-quarters cover.
</para>
<para>
A target with <emphasis role="strong">half cover</emphasis> has
a +2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has half
cover if an obstacle blocks at least half of its body. The
obstacle might be a low wall, a large piece of furniture, a
narrow tree trunk, or a creature, whether that creature is an
enemy or a friend.
</para>
<para>
A target with <emphasis role="strong">three-quarters
cover</emphasis> has a +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving
throws. A target has three-quarters cover if about
three-quarters of it is covered by an obstacle. The obstacle
might be a portcullis, an arrow slit, or a thick tree trunk.
</para>
<para>
A target with <emphasis role="strong">total cover</emphasis>
can’t be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although
some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area
of effect. A target has total cover if it is completely
concealed by an obstacle.
</para>

<section xml:id="damage-and-healing">
<title>Damage and Healing</title>
<para>
Injury and the risk of death are constant companions of those
who explore fantasy gaming worlds. The thrust of a sword, a
well-placed arrow, or a blast of flame from a
<emphasis>fireball</emphasis> spell all have the potential to
damage, or even kill, the hardiest of creatures.
</para>
<section xml:id="hit-points-13">
<title>Hit Points</title>
<para>
Hit points represent a combination of physical and mental
durability, the will to live, and luck. Creatures with more
hit points are more difficult to kill. Those with fewer hit
points are more fragile.
</para>
<para>
A creature’s current hit points (usually just called hit
points) can be any number from the creature’s hit point
maximum down to 0. This number changes frequently as a
creature takes damage or receives healing.
</para>
<para>
Whenever a creature takes damage, that damage is subtracted
from its hit points. The loss of hit points has no effect on a
creature’s capabilities until the creature drops to 0 hit
points.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="damage-rolls">
<title>Damage Rolls</title>
<para>
Each weapon, spell, and harmful monster ability specifies the
damage it deals. You roll the damage die or dice, add any
modifiers, and apply the damage to your target. Magic weapons,
special abilities, and other factors can grant a bonus to
damage. With a penalty, it is possible to deal 0 damage, but
never negative damage.
</para>
<para>
When attacking with a
<emphasis role="strong">weapon</emphasis>, you add your
ability modifier-the same modifier used for the attack roll-to
the damage. A <emphasis role="strong">spell</emphasis> tells
you which dice to roll for damage and whether to add any
modifiers.
</para>
<para>
If a spell or other effect deals damage to
<emphasis role="strong">more than one target</emphasis> at the
same time, roll the damage once for all of them. For example,
when a wizard casts <emphasis>fireball</emphasis> or a cleric
casts <emphasis>flame strike</emphasis>, the spell’s damage is
rolled once for all creatures caught in the blast.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="critical-hits">
<title>Critical Hits</title>
<para>
When you score a critical hit, you get to roll extra dice for
the attack’s damage against the target. Roll all of the
attack’s damage dice twice and add them together. Then add any
relevant modifiers as normal. To speed up play, you can roll
all the damage dice at once.
</para>
<para>
For example, if you score a critical hit with a dagger, roll
2d4 for the damage, rather than 1d4, and then add your
relevant ability modifier. If the attack involves other damage
dice, such as from the rogue’s Sneak Attack feature, you roll
those dice twice as well.

<section xml:id="damage-resistance-and-vulnerability">
<title>Damage Resistance and Vulnerability</title>
<para>
Some creatures and objects are exceedingly difficult or
unusually easy to hurt with certain types of damage.
</para>
<para>
If a creature or an object has
<emphasis role="strong">resistance</emphasis> to a damage
type, damage of that type is halved against it. If a creature
or an object has
<emphasis role="strong">vulnerability</emphasis> to a damage
type, damage of that type is doubled against it.
</para>
<para>
Resistance and then vulnerability are applied after all other
modifiers to damage. For example, a creature has resistance to
bludgeoning damage and is hit by an attack that deals 25
bludgeoning damage. The creature is also within a magical aura
that reduces all damage by 5. The 25 damage is first reduced
by 5 and then halved, so the creature takes 10 damage.
</para>
<para>
Multiple instances of resistance or vulnerability that affect
the same damage type count as only one instance. For example,
if a creature has resistance to fire damage as well as
resistance to all nonmagical damage, the damage of a
nonmagical fire is reduced by half against the creature, not
reduced by three-quarters.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="healing">
<title>Healing</title>
<para>
Unless it results in death, damage isn’t permanent. Even death
is reversible through powerful magic. Rest can restore a
creature’s hit points, and magical methods such as a
<emphasis>cure wounds</emphasis> spell or a <emphasis>potion
of healing</emphasis> can remove damage in an instant.
</para>
<para>
When a creature receives healing of any kind, hit points
regained are added to its current hit points. A creature’s hit
points can’t exceed its hit point maximum, so any hit points
regained in excess of this number are lost. For example, a
druid grants a ranger 8 hit points of healing. If the ranger
has 14 current hit points and has a hit point maximum of 20,
the ranger regains 6 hit points from the druid, not 8.
</para>
<para>
A creature that has died can’t regain hit points until magic
such as the <emphasis>revivify</emphasis> spell has restored
it to life.
</para>

<title>Instant Death</title>
<para>
Massive damage can kill you instantly. When damage reduces you
to 0 hit points and there is damage remaining, you die if the
remaining damage equals or exceeds your hit point maximum.
</para>
<para>
For example, a cleric with a maximum of 12 hit points
currently has 6 hit points. If she takes 18 damage from an
attack, she is reduced to 0 hit points, but 12 damage remains.
Because the remaining damage equals her hit point maximum, the
cleric dies.

</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="death-saving-throws">
<title>Death Saving Throws</title>
<para>
Whenever you start your turn with 0 hit points, you must make
a special saving throw, called a death saving throw, to
determine whether you creep closer to death or hang onto life.
Unlike other saving throws, this one isn’t tied to any ability
score. You are in the hands of fate now, aided only by spells
and features that improve your chances of succeeding on a
saving throw.
</para>
<para>
Roll a d20. If the roll is 10 or higher, you succeed.
Otherwise, you fail. A success or failure has no effect by
itself. On your third success, you become stable (see below).
On your third failure, you die. The successes and failures
don’t need to be consecutive; keep track of both until you
collect three of a kind. The number of both is reset to zero
when you regain any hit points or become stable.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Rolling 1 or
20</emphasis></emphasis>. When you make a death saving throw
and roll a 1 on the d20, it counts as two failures. If you
roll a 20 on the d20, you regain 1 hit point.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Damage at 0 Hit
Points</emphasis></emphasis>. If you take any damage while you
have 0 hit points, you suffer a death saving throw failure. If
the damage is from a critical hit, you suffer two failures
instead. If the damage equals or exceeds your hit point
maximum, you suffer instant death.
</para>
<section xml:id="stabilizing-a-creature">
<title>Stabilizing a Creature</title>
<para>
The best way to save a creature with 0 hit points is to heal
it. If healing is unavailable, the creature can at least be
stabilized so that it isn’t killed by a failed death saving
throw.
</para>
<para>
You can use your action to administer first aid to an
unconscious creature and attempt to stabilize it, which
requires a successful DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check.
</para>
<para>
A <emphasis role="strong">stable</emphasis> creature doesn’t
make death saving throws, even though it has 0 hit points,
but it does remain unconscious. The creature stops being
stable, and must start making death saving throws again, if
it takes any damage. A stable creature that isn’t healed
regains 1 hit point after 1d4 hours.

<title>Monsters and Death</title>

Most GMs have a monster die the instant it drops to 0 hit

<title>Knocking a Creature Out</title>
<para>
Sometimes an attacker wants to incapacitate a foe, rather than
deal a killing blow. When an attacker reduces a creature to 0
hit points with a melee attack, the attacker can knock the
creature out. The attacker can make this choice the instant the
damage is dealt. The creature falls unconscious and is stable.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="temporary-hit-points">
<title>Temporary Hit Points</title>
<para>
Some spells and special abilities confer temporary hit points to
a creature. Temporary hit points aren’t actual hit points; they
are a buffer against damage, a pool of hit points that protect
you from injury.
</para>
<para>
When you have temporary hit points and take damage, the
temporary hit points are lost first, and any leftover damage
carries over to your normal hit points. For example, if you have
5 temporary hit points and take 7 damage, you lose the temporary
hit points and then take 2 damage.
</para>
<para>
Because temporary hit points are separate from your actual hit
points, they can exceed your hit point maximum. A character can,
therefore, be at full hit points and receive temporary hit
points.
</para>
<para>
Healing can’t restore temporary hit points, and they can’t be
added together. If you have temporary hit points and receive
more of them, you decide whether to keep the ones you have or to
gain the new ones. For example, if a spell grants you 12
temporary hit points when you already have 10, you can have 12
or 10, not 22.
</para>
<para>
If you have 0 hit points, receiving temporary hit points doesn’t
restore you to consciousness or stabilize you. They can still
absorb damage directed at you while you’re in that state, but
only true healing can save you.
</para>
<para>
Unless a feature that grants you temporary hit points has a
duration, they last until they’re depleted or you finish a long
rest.

A knight charging into battle on a warhorse, a wizard casting

a mount can provide.
</para>
<para>
A willing creature that is at least one size larger than you and
that has an appropriate anatomy can serve as a mount, using the
following rules.
</para>
<section xml:id="mounting-and-dismounting">
<title>Mounting and Dismounting</title>
<para>
Once during your move, you can mount a creature that is within 5
feet of you or dismount. Doing so costs an amount of movement
equal to half your speed. For example, if your speed is 30 feet,
you must spend 15 feet of movement to mount a horse. Therefore,
you can’t mount it if you don’t have 15 feet of movement left or
if your speed is 0.
</para>
<para>
If an effect moves your mount against its will while you’re on
it, you must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall
off the mount, landing prone in a space within 5 feet of it. If
you’re knocked prone while mounted, you must make the same
saving throw.
</para>
<para>
If your mount is knocked prone, you can use your reaction to
dismount it as it falls and land on your feet. Otherwise, you
are dismounted and fall prone in a space within 5 feet it.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="controlling-a-mount">
<title>Controlling a Mount</title>
<para>
While you’re mounted, you have two options. You can either
control the mount or allow it to act independently. Intelligent
creatures, such as dragons, act independently.
</para>
<para>
You can control a mount only if it has been trained to accept a
rider. Domesticated horses, donkeys, and similar creatures are
assumed to have such training. The initiative of a controlled
mount changes to match yours when you mount it. It moves as you
direct it, and it has only three action options: Dash,
Disengage, and Dodge. A controlled mount can move and act even
on the turn that you mount it.
</para>
<para>
An independent mount retains its place in the initiative order.
Bearing a rider puts no restrictions on the actions the mount
can take, and it moves and acts as it wishes. It might flee from
combat, rush to attack and devour a badly injured foe, or
otherwise act against your wishes.
</para>
<para>
In either case, if the mount provokes an opportunity attack
while you’re on it, the attacker can target you or the mount.

Magic permeates fantasy gaming worlds and often appears in the
form of a spell.
</para>

This chapter provides the rules for casting spells. Different
character classes have distinctive ways of learning and preparing
their spells, and monsters use spells in unique ways. Regardless
of its source, a spell follows the rules here.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="what-is-a-spell">
<title>What Is a Spell?</title>
<para>
A spell is a discrete magical effect, a single shaping of the
magical energies that suffuse the multiverse into a specific,
limited expression. In casting a spell, a character carefully
plucks at the invisible strands of raw magic suffusing the world,
pins them in place in a particular pattern, sets them vibrating in
a specific way, and then releases them to unleash the desired
effect-in most cases, all in the span of seconds.
</para>
<para>
Spells can be versatile tools, weapons, or protective wards. They
can deal damage or undo it, impose or remove conditions (see
appendix ##), drain life energy away, and restore life to the
dead.
</para>
<para>
Uncounted thousands of spells have been created over the course of
the multiverse’s history, and many of them are long forgotten.
Some might yet lie recorded in crumbling spellbooks hidden in
ancient ruins or trapped in the minds of dead gods. Or they might
someday be reinvented by a character who has amassed enough power
and wisdom to do so.
</para>
<section xml:id="spell-level">
<title>Spell Level</title>
<para>
Every spell has a level from 0 to 9. A spell’s level is a
general indicator of how powerful it is, with the lowly (but
still impressive) <emphasis>magic missile</emphasis> at 1st
level and the earth-shaking <emphasis>wish</emphasis> at 9th.
Cantrips-simple but powerful spells that characters can cast
almost by rote-are level 0. The higher a spell’s level, the
higher level a spellcaster must be to use that spell.
</para>
<para>
Spell level and character level don’t correspond directly.
Typically, a character has to be at least 17th level, not 9th
level, to cast a 9th-level spell.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="known-and-prepared-spells">
<title>Known and Prepared Spells</title>
<para>
Before a spellcaster can use a spell, he or she must have the
spell firmly fixed in mind, or must have access to the spell in
a magic item. Members of a few classes, including bards and
sorcerers, have a limited list of spells they know that are
always fixed in mind. The same thing is true of many magic-using
monsters. Other spellcasters, such as clerics and wizards,
undergo a process of preparing spells. This process varies for
different classes, as detailed in their descriptions.
</para>
<para>
In every case, the number of spells a caster can have fixed in
mind at any given time depends on the character’s level.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spell-slots-4">
<title>Spell Slots</title>
<para>
Regardless of how many spells a caster knows or prepares, he or
she can cast only a limited number of spells before resting.
Manipulating the fabric of magic and channeling its energy into
even a simple spell is physically and mentally taxing, and
higher level spells are even more so. Thus, each spellcasting
class’s description (except that of the warlock) includes a
table showing how many spell slots of each spell level a
character can use at each character level. For example, the
3rd-level wizard Umara has four 1st-level spell slots and two
2nd-level slots.
</para>
<para>
When a character casts a spell, he or she expends a slot of that
spell’s level or higher, effectively <quote>filling</quote> a
slot with the spell. You can think of a spell slot as a groove
of a certain size-small for a 1st-level slot, larger for a spell
of higher level. A 1st-level spell fits into a slot of any size,
but a 9th-level spell fits only in a 9th-level slot. So when
Umara casts <emphasis>magic missile</emphasis>, a 1st-level
spell, she spends one of her four 1st-level slots and has three
remaining.
</para>
<para>
Finishing a long rest restores any expended spell slots.
</para>
<para>
Some characters and monsters have special abilities that let
them cast spells without using spell slots. For example, a monk
who follows the Way of the Four Elements, a warlock who chooses
certain eldritch invocations, and a pit fiend from the Nine
Hells can all cast spells in such a way.
</para>
<section xml:id="casting-a-spell-at-a-higher-level">
<title>Casting a Spell at a Higher Level</title>
<para>
When a spellcaster casts a spell using a slot that is of a
higher level than the spell, the spell assumes the higher
level for that casting. For instance, if Umara casts
<emphasis>magic missile</emphasis> using one of her 2nd-level
slots, that <emphasis>magic missile</emphasis> is 2nd level.
Effectively, the spell expands to fill the slot it is put
into.
</para>
<para>
Some spells, such as <emphasis>magic missile</emphasis> and
<emphasis>cure wounds</emphasis>, have more powerful effects
when cast at a higher level, as detailed in a spell’s
description.

<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Casting in Armor</emphasis>

<section xml:id="cantrips-6">
<title>Cantrips</title>
<para>
A cantrip is a spell that can be cast at will, without using a
spell slot and without being prepared in advance. Repeated
practice has fixed the spell in the caster’s mind and infused the
caster with the magic needed to produce the effect over and over.
A cantrip’s spell level is 0.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="rituals">
<title>Rituals</title>
<para>
Certain spells have a special tag: ritual. Such a spell can be
cast following the normal rules for spellcasting, or the spell can
be cast as a ritual. The ritual version of a spell takes 10
minutes longer to cast than normal. It also doesn’t expend a spell
slot, which means the ritual version of a spell can’t be cast at a
higher level.
</para>
<para>
To cast a spell as a ritual, a spellcaster must have a feature
that grants the ability to do so. The cleric and the druid, for
example, have such a feature. The caster must also have the spell
prepared or on his or her list of spells known, unless the
character’s ritual feature specifies otherwise, as the wizard’s
does.

Academies of magic group spells into eight categories called
schools of magic. Scholars, particularly wizards, apply these
categories to all spells, believing that all magic functions in
essentially the same way, whether it derives from rigorous study
or is bestowed by a deity.

<para>
The schools of magic help describe spells; they have no rules of
their own, although some rules refer to the schools.
</para>

protective in nature, though some of them have aggressive uses.
They create magical barriers, negate harmful effects, harm
trespassers, or banish creatures to other planes of existence.

<emphasis role="strong">Conjuration</emphasis> spells involve
the transportation of objects and creatures from one location to
another. Some spells summon creatures or objects to the caster’s
side, whereas others allow the caster to teleport to another

nothing.
</para>

information, whether in the form of secrets long forgotten,
glimpses of the future, the locations of hidden things, the
truth behind illusions, or visions of distant people or places.

creatures to take a course of action, or even control another
creature like a puppet.

magical energy to produce a desired effect. Some call up blasts
of fire or lightning. Others channel positive energy to heal
wounds.

<emphasis role="strong">Illusion</emphasis> spells deceive the
senses or minds of others. They cause people to see things that
are not there, to miss things that are there, to hear phantom
noises, or to remember things that never happened. Some
illusions create phantom images that any creature can see, but
the most insidious illusions plant an image directly in the mind
of a creature.

<section xml:id="verbal-v">
<title>Verbal (V)</title>
<para>
Most spells require the chanting of mystic words. The words
themselves aren’t the source of the spell’s power; rather, the
particular combination of sounds, with specific pitch and
resonance, sets the threads of magic in motion. Thus, a

you must make a Constitution saving throw to maintain your
concentration. The DC equals 10 or half the damage you
take, whichever number is higher. If you take damage from
multiple sources, such as an arrow and a dragon’s breath,
you make a separate saving throw for each source of
damage.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Being incapacitated or
killed.</emphasis> You lose concentration on a spell if
you are incapacitated or if you die.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
The GM might also decide that certain environmental phenomena,
such as a wave crashing over you while you’re on a
storm-tossed ship, require you to succeed on a DC 10
Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a
spell.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="targets">
<title>Targets</title>
<para>
A typical spell requires you to pick one or more targets to be
affected by the spell’s magic. A spell’s description tells you
whether the spell targets creatures, objects, or a point of
origin for an area of effect (described below).
</para>
<para>
Unless a spell has a perceptible effect, a creature might not
know it was targeted by a spell at all. An effect like crackling
lightning is obvious, but a more subtle effect, such as an
attempt to read a creature’s thoughts, typically goes unnoticed,
unless a spell says otherwise.
</para>
<section xml:id="a-clear-path-to-the-target">
<title>A Clear Path to the Target</title>
<para>
To target something, you must have a clear path to it, so it
can’t be behind total cover.
</para>
<para>
If you place an area of effect at a point that you can’t see
and an obstruction, such as a wall, is between you and that
point, the point of origin comes into being on the near side
of that obstruction.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="targeting-yourself">
<title>Targeting Yourself</title>
<para>
If a spell targets a creature of your choice, you can choose
yourself, unless the creature must be hostile or specifically
a creature other than you. If you are in the area of effect of
a spell you cast, you can target yourself.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="areas-of-effect">
<title>Areas of Effect</title>
<para>
Spells such as <emphasis>burning hands</emphasis> and
<emphasis>cone of cold</emphasis> cover an area, allowing them
to affect multiple creatures at once.
</para>
<para>
A spell’s description specifies its area of effect, which
typically has one of five different shapes: cone, cube,
cylinder, line, or sphere. Every area of effect has a
<emphasis role="strong">point of origin</emphasis>, a location
from which the spell’s energy erupts. The rules for each shape
specify how you position its point of origin. Typically, a point
of origin is a point in space, but some spells have an area
whose origin is a creature or an object.
</para>
<para>
A spell’s effect expands in straight lines from the point of
origin. If no unblocked straight line extends from the point of
origin to a location within the area of effect, that location
isn’t included in the spell’s area. To block one of these
imaginary lines, an obstruction must provide total cover.
</para>
<section xml:id="cone">
<title>Cone</title>
<para>
A cone extends in a direction you choose from its point of
origin. A cone’s width at a given point along its length is
equal to that point’s distance from the point of origin. A
cone’s area of effect specifies its maximum length.
</para>
<para>
A cone’s point of origin is not included in the cone’s area of
effect, unless you decide otherwise.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="cube">
<title>Cube</title>
<para>
You select a cube’s point of origin, which lies anywhere on a
face of the cubic effect. The cube’s size is expressed as the
length of each side.
</para>
<para>
A cube’s point of origin is not included in the cube’s area of
effect, unless you decide otherwise.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="cylinder">
<title>Cylinder</title>
<para>
A cylinder’s point of origin is the center of a circle of a
particular radius, as given in the spell description. The
circle must either be on the ground or at the height of the
spell effect. The energy in a cylinder expands in straight
lines from the point of origin to the perimeter of the circle,
forming the base of the cylinder. The spell’s effect then
shoots up from the base or down from the top, to a distance
equal to the height of the cylinder.
</para>
<para>
A cylinder’s point of origin is included in the cylinder’s
area of effect.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="line">
<title>Line</title>
<para>
A line extends from its point of origin in a straight path up
to its length and covers an area defined by its width.
</para>
<para>
A line’s point of origin is not included in the line’s area of
effect, unless you decide otherwise.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sphere">
<title>Sphere</title>
<para>
You select a sphere’s point of origin, and the sphere extends
outward from that point. The sphere’s size is expressed as a
radius in feet that extends from the point.
</para>
<para>
A sphere’s point of origin is included in the sphere’s area of
effect.
</para>
</section>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="spell-saving-throws">
<title>Spell Saving Throws</title>
<para>
Many spells specify that a target can make a saving throw to avoid
some or all of a spell’s effects. The spell specifies the ability
that the target uses for the save and what happens on a success or
failure.
</para>
<para>
The DC to resist one of your spells = 8 + your spellcasting
ability modifier + your proficiency bonus + any special modifiers.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spell-attack-rolls">
<title>Spell Attack Rolls</title>
<para>
Some spells require the caster to make an attack roll to determine
whether the spell effect hits the intended target. Your attack
bonus with a spell attack equals your spellcasting ability
modifier + your proficiency bonus.
</para>
<para>
Most spells that require attack rolls involve ranged attacks.
Remember that you have disadvantage on a ranged attack roll if you
are within 5 feet of a hostile creature that can see you and that
isn’t incapacitated.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="combining-magical-effects">
<title>Combining Magical Effects</title>
<para>
The effects of different spells add together while the durations
of those spells overlap. The effects of the same spell cast
multiple times don’t combine, however. Instead, the most potent
effect-such as the highest bonus-from those castings applies while
their durations overlap.
</para>
<para>
For example, if two clerics cast <emphasis>bless</emphasis> on the
same target, that character gains the spell’s benefit only once;
he or she doesn’t get to roll two bonus dice.
</para>

By means of this spell, you use an animal to deliver a message.
Choose a Tiny beast you can see within range, such as a
squirrel, a blue jay, or a bat. You specify a location, which
you must have visited, and a recipient who matches a general
description, such as <quote>a man or woman dressed in the
uniform of the town guard</quote> or <quote>a red-haired dwarf
wearing a pointed hat.</quote> You also speak a message of up to
twenty-five words. The target beast travels for the duration of
the spell toward the specified location, covering about 50 miles
per 24 hours for a flying messenger, or 25 miles for other
animals.

When the messenger arrives, it delivers your message to the
creature that you described, replicating the sound of your

Your magic turns others into beasts. Choose any number of
willing creatures that you can see within range. You transform
each target into the form of a Large or smaller beast with a
challenge rating of 4 or lower. On subsequent turns, you can use
your action to transform affected creatures into new forms.
</para>
<para>
The transformation lasts for the duration for each target, or
until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. You can choose a
different form for each target. A target’s game statistics are
replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast, though the
target retains its alignment and Intelligence, Wisdom, and
Charisma scores. The target assumes the hit points of its new
form, and when it reverts to its normal form, it returns to the
number of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts
as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage
carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage
doesn’t reduce the creature’s normal form to 0 hit points, it
isn’t knocked unconscious. The creature is limited in the
actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it
can’t speak or cast spells.
</para>
<para>
The target’s gear melds into the new form. The target can’t
activate, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

This spell creates an undead servant. Choose a pile of bones or
a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. Your spell
imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an
undead creature. The target becomes a skeleton if you chose
bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse (the GM has the
creature’s game statistics).
</para>
<para>
On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally
command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is
within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you
can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the
same command to each one). You decide what action the creature
will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you
can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular
chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only
defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order,
the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.
</para>
<para>
The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it
stops obeying any command you’ve given it. To maintain control
of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell
on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends.
This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four
creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than
animating a new one.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>At Higher
Levels</emphasis></emphasis>. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, you animate or reassert
control over two additional undead creatures for each slot level

corpse or pile of bones.

Objects come to life at your command. Choose up to ten

As a bonus action, you can mentally command any creature you
made with this spell if the creature is within 500 feet of you
(if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all

You decide what action the creature will take and where it will

An animated object is a construct with AC, hit points, attacks,
Strength, and Dexterity determined by its size. Its Constitution
is 10 and its Intelligence and Wisdom are 3, and its Charisma is
1. Its speed is
</para>
<para>
30 feet; if the object lacks legs or other appendages it can use
for locomotion, it instead has a flying speed of 30 feet and can
hover. If the object is securely attached to a surface or a
larger object, such as a chain bolted to a wall, its speed is 0.
It has blindsight with a radius of 30 feet and is blind beyond
that distance. When the animated object drops to 0 hit points,
it reverts to its original object form, and any remaining damage
carries over to its original object form.
</para>
<para>
If you command an object to attack, it can make a single melee
attack against a creature within 5 feet of it. It makes a slam
attack with an attack bonus and bludgeoning damage determined by
its size. The GM might rule that a specific object inflicts
slashing or piercing damage based on its form.

A 10-foot radius invisible sphere of antimagic surrounds you.
This area is divorced from the magical energy that suffuses the
multiverse. Within the sphere, spells can’t be cast, summoned
creatures disappear, and even magic items become mundane. Until
the spell ends, the sphere moves with you, centered on you.
</para>
<para>
Spells and other magical effects, except those created by an
artifact or a deity, are suppressed in the sphere and can’t
protrude into it. A slot expended to cast a suppressed spell is
consumed. While an effect is suppressed, it doesn’t function,
but the time it spends suppressed counts against its duration.

gap in the wall if the overlap is large enough.
</para>

Any active spell or other magical effect on a creature or an
object in the sphere is suppressed while the creature or object

</para>
<para>
A magic weapon’s properties and powers are suppressed if it is
used against a target in the sphere or wielded by an attacker in
the sphere. If a magic weapon or a piece of magic ammunition
fully leaves the sphere (for example, if you fire a magic arrow
or throw a magic spear at a target outside the sphere), the
magic of the item ceases to be suppressed as soon as it exits.

<para>
This spell attracts or repels creatures of your choice. You
target something within range, either a Huge or smaller object
or creature or an area that is no larger than a 200-foot cube.
Then specify a kind of intelligent creature, such as red
dragons, goblins, or vampires. You invest the target with an
aura that either attracts or repels the specified creatures for
the duration. Choose antipathy or sympathy as the aura’s effect.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Antipathy</emphasis></emphasis>.
The enchantment causes creatures of the kind you designated to
feel an intense urge to leave the area and avoid the target.
When such a creature can see the target or comes within 60 feet
of it, the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or
become frightened. The creature remains frightened while it can
see the target or is within 60 feet of it. While frightened by
the target, the creature must use its movement to move to the
nearest safe spot from which it can’t see the target. If the
creature moves more than 60 feet from the target and can’t see
it, the creature is no longer frightened, but the creature
becomes frightened again if it regains sight of the target or
moves within 60 feet of it.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Sympathy</emphasis></emphasis>.
The enchantment causes the specified creatures to feel an
intense urge to approach the target while within 60 feet of it
or able to see it. When such a creature can see the target or
comes within 60 feet of it, the creature must succeed on a
Wisdom saving throw or use its movement on each of its turns to
enter the area or move within reach of the target. When the
creature has done so, it can’t willingly move away from the
target.
</para>
<para>
If the target damages or otherwise harms an affected creature,
the affected creature can make a Wisdom saving throw to end the
effect, as described below.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ending the
Effect</emphasis></emphasis>. If an affected creature ends its
turn while not within 60 feet of the target or able to see it,
the creature makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save,
the creature is no longer affected by the target and recognizes
the feeling of repugnance or attraction as magical. In addition,
a creature affected by the spell is allowed another Wisdom
saving throw every 24 hours while the spell persists.
</para>

A creature that successfully saves against this effect is immune
to it for 1 minute, after which time it can be affected again.

You create a Large hand of shimmering, translucent force in an
unoccupied space that you can see within range. The hand lasts
for the spell’s duration, and it moves at your command,
mimicking the movements of your own hand.
</para>
<para>
The hand is an object that has AC 20 and hit points equal to

ends. It has a Strength of 26 (+8) and a Dexterity of 10 (+0).
The hand doesn’t fill its space.

Make a check with the hand’s Strength contested by the Strength
(Athletics) check of the target. If the target is Medium or
smaller, you have advantage on the check. If you succeed, the
hand pushes the target up to 5 feet plus a number of feet equal

with the target to remain within 5 feet of it.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Grasping

grappling the target, you can use a bonus action to have the
hand crush it. When you do so, the target takes bludgeoning
damage equal to 2d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier.

you and a creature you choose until you give the hand a
different command. The hand moves to stay between you and the
target, providing you with half cover against the target. The
target can’t move through the hand’s space if its Strength score
is less than or equal to the hand’s Strength score. If its
Strength score is higher than the hand’s Strength score, the
target can move toward you through the hand’s space, but that

You and up to eight willing creatures within range project your
astral bodies into the Astral Plane (the spell fails and the
casting is wasted if you are already on that plane). The
material body you leave behind is unconscious and in a state of
suspended animation; it doesn’t need food or air and doesn’t
age.
</para>
<para>
Your astral body resembles your mortal form in almost every way,
replicating your game statistics and possessions. The principal
difference is the addition of a silvery cord that extends from
between your shoulder blades and trails behind you, fading to
invisibility after 1 foot. This cord is your tether to your
material body. As long as the tether remains intact, you can
find your way home. If the cord is cut-something that can happen
only when an effect specifically states that it does-your soul
and body are separated, killing you instantly.
</para>
<para>
Your astral form can freely travel through the Astral Plane and
can pass through portals there leading to any other plane. If
you enter a new plane or return to the plane you were on when
casting this spell, your body and possessions are transported
along the silver cord, allowing you to re-enter your body as you
enter the new plane. Your astral form is a separate incarnation.
Any damage or other effects that apply to it have no effect on
your physical body, nor do they persist when you return to it.
</para>
<para>
The spell ends for you and your companions when you use your
action to dismiss it. When the spell ends, the affected creature
returns to its physical body, and it awakens.
</para>

The spell might also end early for you or one of your
companions. A successful <emphasis>dispel magic</emphasis> spell
used against an astral or physical body ends the spell for that
creature. If a creature’s original body or its astral form drops
to 0 hit points, the spell ends for that creature. If the spell
ends and the silver cord is intact, the cord pulls the
creature’s astral form back to its body, ending its state of
suspended animation.

If you are returned to your body prematurely, your companions
remain in their astral forms and must find their own way back to

Roll a d20 at the end of each of your turns for the duration of
the spell. On a roll of 11 or higher, you vanish from your
current plane of existence and appear in the Ethereal Plane (the

that plane). At the start of your next turn, and when the spell
ends if you are on the Ethereal Plane, you return to an
unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 10 feet
of the space you vanished from. If no unoccupied space is
available within that range, you appear in the nearest
unoccupied space (chosen at random if more than one space is

Creatures of your choice that you can see within range and that
can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. A target
automatically succeeds on this saving throw if it can’t be
charmed. On a failed save, a target is affected by this spell.
Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your
turns to designate a direction that is horizontal to you. Each
affected target must use as much of its movement as possible to
move in that direction on its next turn. It can take its action
before it moves. After moving in this way, it can make another
Wisdom saving to try to end the effect.

A target isn’t compelled to move into an obviously  deadly
hazard, such as a fire or pit, but it will provoke opportunity

This effect requires a body of water at least 50 feet square and

base, up to 50 feet wide at the top, and 25 feet tall. Any
creature or object in the water and within 25 feet of the vortex
is pulled 10 feet toward it. A creature can swim away from the
vortex by making a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell
save DC.
</para>
<para>
When a creature enters the vortex for the first time on a turn
or starts its turn there, it must make a Strength saving throw.
On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage and
is caught in the vortex until the spell ends. On a successful
save, the creature takes half damage, and isn’t caught in the
vortex. A creature caught in the vortex can use its action to
try to swim away from the vortex as described above, but has
disadvantage on the Strength (Athletics) check to do so.

You take control of the weather within 5 miles of you for the

When you cast the spell, you change the current weather
conditions, which are determined by the GM based on the climate
and season. You can change precipitation, temperature, and wind.
It takes 1d4 × 10 minutes for the new conditions to take effect.
Once they do so, you can change the conditions again. When the
spell ends, the weather gradually returns to normal.
</para>
<para>
When you change the weather conditions, find a current condition
on the following tables and change its stage by one, up or down.
When changing the wind, you can change its direction.

A beam of yellow light flashes from your pointing finger, then

creatures to pass through unhindered. When opened, the door
leads to a demiplane that appears to be an empty room 30 feet in

door disappears, and any creatures or objects inside the
demiplane remain trapped there, as the door also disappears from

For the duration, you can read the thoughts of certain
creatures. When you cast the spell and as your action on each
turn until the spell ends, you can focus your mind on any one
creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature
you choose has an Intelligence of 3 or lower or doesn’t speak
any language, the creature is unaffected.
</para>
<para>
You initially learn the surface thoughts of the creature-what is
most on its mind in that moment. As an action, you can either
shift your attention to another creature’s thoughts or attempt
to probe deeper into the same creature’s mind. If you probe
deeper, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails,
you gain insight into its reasoning (if any), its emotional
state, and something that looms large in its mind (such as
something it worries over, loves, or hates). If it succeeds, the
spell ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing
into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another
creature’s thoughts, the creature can use its action on its turn
to make an Intelligence check contested by your Intelligence
check; if it succeeds, the spell ends.
</para>
<para>
Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally
shape the course of its thoughts, so this spell is particularly
effective as part of an interrogation.
</para>
<para>
You can also use this spell to detect the presence of thinking
creatures you can’t see. When you cast the spell or as your
action during the duration, you can search for thoughts within
30 feet of you. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of
rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of
lead blocks you. You can’t detect a creature with an
Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn’t speak any
language.

Once you detect the presence of a creature in this way, you can
read its thoughts for the rest of the duration as described

You teleport yourself from your current location to any other
spot within range. You arrive at exactly the spot desired. It
can be a place you can see, one you can visualize, or one you
can describe by stating distance and direction, such as

the northwest at a 45-degree angle, 300 feet.</quote>

You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t
exceed what you can carry. You can also bring one willing
creature of your size or smaller who is carrying gear up to its
carrying capacity. The creature must be within 5 feet of you
when you cast this spell.

If you would arrive in a place already occupied by an object or

You make yourself-including your clothing, armor, weapons, and
other belongings on your person- look different until the spell
ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1
foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between.
You can’t change your body type, so you must adopt a form that
has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent
of the illusion is up to you.
</para>
<para>
The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical
inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to
your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who
touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair.
If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand
of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you
while it was seemingly still in midair.
</para>

To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action
to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence

This spell shapes a creature’s dreams. Choose a creature known
to you as the target of this spell. The target must be on the
same plane of existence as you. Creatures that don’t sleep, such
as elves, can’t be contacted by this spell. You, or a willing
creature you touch, enters a trance state, acting as a
messenger. While in the trance, the messenger is aware of his or
her surroundings, but can’t take actions or move.
</para>
<para>
If the target is asleep, the messenger appears in the target’s
dreams and can converse with the target as long as it remains
asleep, through the duration of the spell. The messenger can
also shape the environment of the dream, creating landscapes,
objects, and other images. The messenger can emerge from the
trance at any time, ending the effect of the spell early. The
target recalls the dream perfectly upon waking. If the target is
awake when you cast the spell, the messenger knows it, and can
either end the trance (and the spell) or wait for the target to
fall asleep, at which point the messenger appears in the
target’s dreams.
</para>
<para>
You can make the messenger appear monstrous and terrifying to
the target. If you do, the messenger can deliver a message of no
more than ten words and then the target must make a Wisdom
saving throw. On a failed save, echoes of the phantasmal
monstrosity spawn a nightmare that lasts the duration of the
target’s sleep and prevents the target from gaining any benefit
from that rest. In addition, when the target wakes up, it takes
3d6 psychic damage.

If you have a body part, lock of hair, clipping from a nail, or

Fissures open throughout the spell’s area at the start of your

open in locations chosen by the GM. Each is 1d10 × 10 feet deep,
10 feet wide, and extends from one edge of the spell’s area to
the opposite side. A creature standing on a spot where a fissure
opens must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall in. A
creature that successfully saves moves with the fissure’s edge
as it opens.
</para>
<para>
A fissure that opens beneath a structure causes it to
automatically collapse (see below).
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Structures</emphasis></emphasis>.
The tremor deals 50 bludgeoning damage to any structure in
contact with the ground in the area when you cast the spell and
at the start of each of your turns until the spell ends. If a
structure drops to 0 hit points, it collapses and potentially
damages nearby creatures. A creature within half the distance of
a structure’s height must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a
failed save, the creature takes 5d6 bludgeoning damage, is
knocked prone, and is buried in the rubble, requiring a DC 20
Strength (Athletics) check as an action to escape. The GM can
adjust the DC higher or lower, depending on the nature of the
rubble. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much
damage and doesn’t fall prone or become buried.

If the target is a creature, everything it is wearing and

<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Enlarge</emphasis></emphasis>.
The target’s size doubles in all dimensions, and its weight is
multiplied by eight. This growth increases its size by one
category- from Medium to Large, for example. If there isn’t
enough room for the target to double its size, the creature or
object attains the maximum possible size in the space available.
Until the spell ends, the target also has advantage on Strength
checks and Strength saving throws. The target’s weapons also
grow to match its new size. While these weapons are enlarged,
the target’s attacks with them deal 1d4 extra damage.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Reduce</emphasis></emphasis>.
The target’s size is halved in all dimensions, and its weight is
reduced to one-eighth of normal. This reduction decreases its
size by one category-from Medium to Small, for example. Until
the spell ends, the target also has disadvantage on Strength
checks and Strength saving throws. The target’s weapons also
shrink to match its new size. While these weapons are reduced,
the target’s attacks with them deal 1d4 less damage (this can’t
reduce the damage below 1).

You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an
animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk,
lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat,
raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied
space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the
chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your
choice) instead of a beast.
</para>
<para>
Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys
your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts
on its own turn. A familiar can’t attack, but it can take other
actions as normal.
</para>
<para>
When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving
behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell
again.

While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you  can
communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action,
you can see through your familiar’s eyes and hear what it hears
until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any
special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are
deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.
</para>
<para>
As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your familiar. It
disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons.
Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it
is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any
unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.
</para>
<para>
You can’t have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast
this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause
it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above
list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature.
</para>
<para>
Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your
familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your
familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its
reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell
requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the
roll.

camel, an elk, or a mastiff. (Your GM might allow other animals
to be summoned as steeds.) The steed has the statistics of the
chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your

has an Intelligence of 5 or less, its Intelligence becomes 6,

Your steed serves you as a mount, both in combat and out, and

When the steed drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving

</para>
<para>
When you cast this spell, you inscribe a glyph that harms other
creatures, either upon a surface (such as a table or a section
of floor or wall) or within an object that can be closed (such
as a book, a scroll, or a treasure chest) to conceal the glyph.
The glyph can cover an area no larger than 10 feet in diameter.
If the surface or object is moved more than 10 feet from where
you cast this spell, the glyph is broken, and the spell ends
without being triggered.
</para>
<para>
The glyph is nearly invisible and requires a successful
Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC to
be found.
</para>
<para>
You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. For
glyphs inscribed on a surface, the most typical triggers include
touching or standing on the glyph, removing another object
covering the glyph, approaching within a certain distance of the
glyph, or manipulating the object on which the glyph is
inscribed. For glyphs inscribed within an object, the most
common triggers include opening that object, approaching within
a certain distance of the object, or seeing or reading the
glyph. Once a glyph is triggered, this spell ends.
</para>
<para>
You can further refine the trigger so the spell activates only
under certain circumstances or according to physical
characteristics (such as height or weight), creature kind (for
example, the ward could be set to affect aberrations or drow),
or alignment. You can also set conditions for creatures that
don’t trigger the glyph, such as those who say a certain
password.
</para>
<para>
When you inscribe the glyph, choose <emphasis>explosive
runes</emphasis> or a <emphasis>spell glyph</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Explosive
Runes</emphasis></emphasis>. When triggered, the glyph erupts
with magical energy in a 20-foot radius sphere centered on the
glyph. The sphere spreads around corners. Each creature in the
area must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 5d8
acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage on a failed
saving throw (your choice when you create the glyph), or half as
much damage on a successful one.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Spell
Glyph</emphasis></emphasis>. You can store a prepared spell of
3rd level or lower in the glyph by casting it as part of
creating the glyph. The spell must target a single creature or
an area. The spell being stored has no immediate effect when
cast in this way. When the glyph is triggered, the stored spell
is cast. If the spell has a target, it targets the creature that
triggered the glyph. If the spell affects an area, the area is
centered on that creature. If the spell summons hostile
creatures or creates harmful objects or traps, they appear as
close as possible to the intruder and attack it. If the spell
requires concentration, it lasts until the end of its full
duration.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>At Higher
Levels</emphasis></emphasis>. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage of an
<emphasis>explosive runes</emphasis> glyph increases by 1d8 for
each slot level above 3rd. If you create a <emphasis>spell
glyph</emphasis>, you can store any spell of up to the same
level as the slot you use for the <emphasis>glyph of
warding</emphasis>.

You make natural terrain in a 150-foot cube in range look,
sound, and smell like some other sort of natural terrain. Thus,
open fields or a road can be made to resemble a swamp, hill,
crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond

The tactile characteristics of the terrain are unchanged, so
creatures entering the area are likely to see through the

it. A creature who discerns the illusion for what it is, sees it

The target can move only by pushing or pulling against a fixed
object or surface within reach (such as a wall or a ceiling),
which allows it to move as if it were climbing. You can change
the target’s altitude by up to 20 feet in either direction on
your turn. If you are the target, you can move up or down as
part of your move. Otherwise, you can use your action to move
the target, which must remain within the spell’s range.

When the spell ends, the target floats gently to the ground if
it is still aloft.

Your body falls into a catatonic state as your soul leaves it
and enters the container you used for the spell’s material
component. While your soul inhabits the container, you are aware
of your surroundings as if you were in the container’s space.
You can’t move or use reactions. The only action you can take is
to project your soul up to 100 feet out of the container, either
returning to your living body (and ending the spell) or
attempting to possess a humanoids body.
</para>
<para>
You can attempt to possess any humanoid within 100 feet of you
that you can see (creatures warded by a <emphasis>protection
from evil and good</emphasis> or <emphasis>magic
circle</emphasis> spell can’t be possessed). The target must
make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, your soul moves into
the target’s body, and the target’s soul becomes trapped in the
container. On a success, the target resists your efforts to
possess it, and you can’t attempt to possess it again for 24
hours.
</para>
<para>
Once you possess a creature’s body, you control it. Your game
statistics are replaced by the statistics of the creature,
though you retain your alignment and your Intelligence, Wisdom,
and Charisma scores. You retain the benefit of your own class
features. If the target has any class levels, you can’t use any
of its class features.
</para>
<para>
Meanwhile, the possessed creature’s soul can perceive from the
container using its own senses, but it can’t move or take
actions at all.
</para>
<para>
While possessing a body, you can use your action to return from
the host body to the container if it is within 100 feet of you,
returning the host creature’s soul to its body. If the host body
dies while you’re in it, the creature dies, and you must make a
Charisma saving throw against your own spellcasting DC. On a
success, you return to the container if it is within 100 feet of
you. Otherwise, you die.
</para>
<para>
If the container is destroyed or the spell ends, your soul
immediately returns to your body. If your body is more than 100
feet away from you or if your body is dead when you attempt to
return to it, you die. If another creature’s soul is in the
container when it is destroyed, the creature’s soul returns to
its body if the body is alive and within 100 feet. Otherwise,
that creature dies.

You implant a message within an object in range, a message that
is uttered when a trigger condition is met. Choose an object
that you can see and that isn’t being worn or carried by another
creature. Then speak the message, which must be 25 words or
less, though it can be delivered over as long as 10 minutes.
Finally, determine the circumstance that will trigger the spell
to deliver your message.
</para>
<para>
When that circumstance occurs, a magical mouth appears on the
object and recites the message in your voice and at the same
volume you spoke. If the object you chose has a mouth or
something that looks like a mouth (for example, the mouth of a
statue), the magical mouth appears there so that the words
appear to come from the object’s mouth. When you cast this
spell, you can have the spell end after it delivers its message,
or it can remain and repeat its message whenever the trigger
occurs.
</para>
<para>
The triggering circumstance can be as general or as detailed as
you like, though it must be based on visual or audible
conditions that occur within 30 feet of the object. For example,
you could instruct the mouth to speak when any creature moves
within 30 feet of the object or when a silver bell rings within
30 feet of it.

You and any creature you designate when you cast the spell can
enter the extradimensional dwelling as long as the portal
remains open. You can open or close the portal if you are within
30 feet of it. While closed, the portal is invisible.

You can create any floor plan you like, but the space can’t

is furnished and decorated as you choose. It contains sufficient
food to serve a nine-course banquet for up to 100 people. A
staff of 100 near-transparent servants attends all who enter.
You decide the visual appearance of these servants and their
attire. They are completely obedient to your orders. Each
servant can perform any task a normal human servant could
perform, but they can’t attack or take any action that would
directly harm another creature. Thus the servants can fetch
things, clean, mend, fold clothes, light fires, serve food, pour
wine, and so on. The servants can go anywhere in the mansion but
can’t leave it. Furnishings and other objects created by this
spell dissipate into smoke if removed from the mansion. When the
spell ends, any creatures inside the extradimensional space are
expelled into the open spaces nearest to the entrance.

You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other
visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. The
image appears at a spot that you can see within range and lasts
for the duration. It seems completely real, including sounds,
smells, and temperature appropriate to the thing depicted. You
can’t create sufficient heat or cold to cause damage, a sound
loud enough to deal thunder damage or deafen a creature, or a
smell that might sicken a creature (like a troglodyte’s stench).
</para>
<para>
As long as you are within range of the illusion, you can use
your action to cause the image to move to any other spot within
range. As the image changes location, you can alter its
appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image.
For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it,
you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking.
Similarly, you can cause the illusion to make different sounds
at different times, even making it carry on a conversation, for
example.
</para>
<para>
Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an
illusion, because things can pass through it. A creature that
uses its action to examine the image 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 creature can see through the image, and its
other sensory qualities become faint to the creature.

You step into a stone object or surface large enough to fully
contain your body, melding yourself and all the equipment you
carry with the stone for the duration. Using your movement, you
step into the stone at a point you can touch. Nothing of your
presence remains visible or otherwise detectable by nonmagical
senses.
</para>
<para>
While merged with the stone, you can’t see what occurs outside
it, and any Wisdom (Perception) checks you make to hear sounds
outside it are made with disadvantage. You remain aware of the
passage of time and can cast spells on yourself while merged in
the stone. You can use your movement to leave the stone where
you entered it, which ends the spell. You otherwise can’t move.
</para>
<para>
Minor physical damage to the stone doesn’t harm you, but its
partial destruction or a change in its shape (to the extent that
you no longer fit within it) expels you and deals 6d6
bludgeoning damage to you. The stone’s complete destruction (or
transmutation into a different substance) expels you and deals
50 bludgeoning damage to you. If expelled, you fall prone in an
unoccupied space closest to where you first entered.

You create a sound or an image of an object within range that

If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a

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

to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.

You make terrain in an area up to 1 mile square look, sound,
smell, and even feel like some other sort of terrain. The
terrain’s general shape remains the same, however. Open fields
or a road could be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or
some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made
to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope,
or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road.

Similarly, you can alter the appearance of structures, or add
them where none are present. The spell doesn’t disguise,
conceal, or add creatures.

The illusion includes audible, visual, tactile, and olfactory
elements, so it can turn clear ground into difficult terrain (or

piece of the illusory terrain (such as a rock or stick) that is
removed from the spell’s area disappears immediately.

remain, so while the creature is aware of the illusion’s

You attempt to reshape another creature’s memories. One creature
that you can see must make a Wisdom saving throw. If you are
fighting the creature, it has advantage on the saving throw. On
a failed save, the target becomes charmed by you for the
duration. The charmed target is incapacitated and unaware of its
surroundings, though it can still hear you. If it takes any
damage or is targeted by another spell, this spell ends, and
none of the target’s memories are modified.
</para>
<para>
While this charm lasts, you can affect the target’s memory of an
event that it experienced within the last 24 hours and that
lasted no more than 10 minutes. You can permanently eliminate
all memory of the event, allow the target to recall the event
with perfect clarity and exacting detail, change its memory of
the details of the event, or create a memory of some other
event.
</para>
<para>
You must speak to the target to describe how its memories are
affected, and it must be able to understand your language for
the modified memories to take root. Its mind fills in any gaps
in the details of your description. If the spell ends before you
have finished describing the modified memories, the creature’s
memory isn’t altered. Otherwise, the modified memories take hold
when the spell ends.
</para>
<para>
A modified memory doesn’t necessarily affect how a creature
behaves, particularly if the memory contradicts the creature’s
natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs. An illogical
modified memory, such as implanting a memory of how much the
creature enjoyed dousing itself in acid, is dismissed, perhaps
as a bad dream. The GM might deem a modified memory too
nonsensical to affect a creature in a significant manner.

Choose an area of terrain no larger than 40 feet on a side

flatten a wall, or form a pillar. The extent of any such changes
can’t exceed half the area’s largest dimension. So, if you
affect a 40-foot square, you can create a pillar up to 20 feet

dig a trench up to 20 feet deep, and so on. It takes 10 minutes

You beseech an otherworldly entity for aid. The being must be
known to you: a god, a primordial, a demon prince, or some other
being of cosmic power. That entity sends a celestial, an
elemental, or a fiend loyal to it to aid you, making the
creature appear in an unoccupied space within range. If you know
a specific creature’s name, you can speak that name when you
cast this spell to request that creature, though you might get a
different creature anyway (GM’s choice).
</para>
<para>
When the creature appears, it is under no compulsion to behave
in any particular way. You can ask the creature to perform a
service in exchange for payment, but it isn’t obliged to do so.
The requested task could range from simple (fly us across the
chasm, or help us fight a battle) to complex (spy on our
enemies, or protect us during our foray into the dungeon). You
must be able to communicate with the creature to bargain for its
services.
</para>
<para>
Payment can take a variety of forms. A celestial might require a
sizable donation of gold or magic items to an allied temple,
while a fiend might demand a living sacrifice or a gift of
treasure. Some creatures might exchange their service for a
quest undertaken by you.
</para>
<para>
As a rule of thumb, a task that can be measured in minutes
requires a payment worth 100 gp per minute. A task measured in
hours requires 1,000 gp per hour. And a task measured in days
(up to 10 days) requires 10,000 gp per day. The GM can adjust
these payments based on the circumstances under which you cast
the spell. If the task is aligned with the creature’s ethos, the
payment might be halved or even waived. Nonhazardous tasks
typically require only half the suggested payment, while
especially dangerous tasks might require a greater gift.
Creatures rarely accept tasks that seem suicidal.
</para>
<para>
After the creature completes the task, or when the agreed-upon
duration of service expires, the creature returns to its home
plane after reporting back to you, if appropriate to the task
and if possible. If you are unable to agree on a price for the
creature’s service, the creature immediately returns to its home
plane.

A bound creature must follow your instructions to the best of
its ability. You might command the creature to accompany you on
an adventure, to guard a location, or to deliver a message. The
creature obeys the letter of your instructions, but if the
creature is hostile to you, it strives to twist your words to
achieve its own objectives. If the creature carries out your
instructions completely before the spell ends, it travels to you
to report this fact if you are on the same plane of existence.
If you are on a different plane of existence, it returns to the
place where you bound it and remains there until the spell ends.

You and up to eight willing creatures who link hands in a circle
are transported to a different plane of existence. You can
specify a target destination in general terms, such as the City
of Brass on the Elemental Plane of Fire or the palace of
Dispater on the second level of the Nine Hells, and you appear
in or near that destination. If you are trying to reach the City
of Brass, for example, you might arrive in its Street of Steel,
before its Gate of Ashes, or looking at the city from across the
Sea of Fire, at the GM’s discretion.

Alternatively, if you know the sigil sequence of a teleportation

You can use this spell to banish an unwilling creature to

a Charisma saving throw. If the creature fails this save, it is
transported to a random location on the plane of existence you
specify. A creature so transported must find its own way back to
your current plane of existence.

This spell transforms a creature that you can see within range
into a new form. An unwilling creature must make a Wisdom saving
throw to avoid the effect. The spell has no effect on a
shapechanger or a creature with 0 hit points.
</para>
<para>
The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target
drops to 0 hit points or dies. The new form can be any beast
whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target’s (or
the target’s level, if it doesn’t have a challenge rating). The
target’s game statistics, including mental ability scores, are
replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. It retains its
alignment and personality.
</para>
<para>
The target assumes the hit points of its new form. When it
reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number
of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a
result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries
over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn’t
reduce the creature’s normal form to 0 hit points, it isn’t
knocked unconscious.
</para>

The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the
nature of its new form, and it can’t speak, cast spells, or take
any other action that requires hands or speech.

activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its

You create an illusion of an object, a creature, or some other

Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is
protected against certain types of creatures: aberrations,
celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead.

The protection grants several benefits. Creatures of those types
have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target
also can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. If the
target is already charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a
creature, the target has advantage on any new saving throw
against the relevant effect.

This spell allows you to change the appearance of any number of
creatures that you can see within range. You give each target
you choose a new, illusory appearance. An unwilling target can
make a Charisma saving throw, and if it succeeds, it is
unaffected by this spell.
</para>
<para>
The spell disguises physical appearance as well as clothing,
armor, weapons, and equipment. You can make each creature seem 1
foot shorter or taller and appear thin, fat, or in between. You
can’t change a target’s body type, so you must choose a form
that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the
extent of the illusion is up to you. The spell lasts for the
duration, unless you use your action to dismiss it sooner.
</para>
<para>
The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical
inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to a
creature’s outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who
touches it would feel nothing or would feel the creature’s head
and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are,
the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into
you while it was seemingly still in midair.
</para>
<para>
A creature can use its action to inspect a target and make an
Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC.
If it succeeds, it becomes aware that the target is disguised.

By means of this spell, a willing creature or an object can be

the spell and touch the target, it becomes invisible and can’t
be targeted by divination spells or perceived through scrying

</para>
<para>
You assume the form of a different creature for the duration.
The new form can be of any creature with a challenge rating
equal to your level or lower. The creature can’t be a construct
or an undead, and you must have seen the sort of creature at
least once. You transform into an average example of that
creature, one without any class levels or the Spellcasting
trait.
</para>
<para>
Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the
chosen creature, though you retain your alignment and
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all
of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to
gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same
proficiency as you and the bonus listed in its statistics is
higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus in place of yours.
You can’t use any legendary actions or lair actions of the new
form.
</para>
<para>
You assume the hit points and Hit Dice of the new form. When you
revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit
points you had before you transformed. If you revert as a result
of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to
your normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce
your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked
unconscious.
</para>
<para>
You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or
other source and can use them, provided that your new form is
physically capable of doing so. You can’t use any special senses
you have (for example, darkvision) unless your new form also has
that sense. You can only speak if the creature can normally
speak.
</para>
<para>
When you transform, you choose whether your equipment falls to
the ground, merges into the new form, or is worn by it. Worn
equipment functions as normal. The GM determines whether it is
practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based
on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change
shape or size to match the new form, and any equipment that the
new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge into
your new form. Equipment that merges has no effect in that
state.
</para>
<para>
During this spell’s duration, you can use your action to assume
a different form following the same restrictions and rules for
the original form, with one exception: if your new form has more
hit points than your current one, your hit points remain at
their current value.

neutral, their spectral form appears angelic or fey (your
choice). If you are evil, they appear fiendish.

When you cast this spell, you can designate any number of
creatures you can see to be unaffected by it. An affected
creature’s speed is halved in the area, and when the creature
enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn
there, it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the
creature takes 3d8 radiant damage (if you are good or neutral)
or 3d8 necrotic damage (if you are evil). On a successful save,
the creature takes half as much damage.

When you cast this spell, you inscribe a harmful glyph either on
a surface (such as a section of floor, a wall, or a table) or
within an object that can be closed to conceal the glyph (such
as a book, a scroll, or a treasure chest). If you choose a
surface, the glyph can cover an area of the surface no larger
than 10 feet in diameter. If you choose an object, that object
must remain in its place; if the object is moved more than 10
feet from where you cast this spell, the glyph is broken, and
the spell ends without being triggered.
</para>
<para>
The glyph is nearly invisible, requiring an Intelligence
(Investigation) check against your spell save DC to find it.
</para>
<para>
You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. For
glyphs inscribed on a surface, the most typical triggers include
touching or stepping on the glyph, removing another object
covering it, approaching within a certain distance of it, or
manipulating the object that holds it. For glyphs inscribed
within an object, the most common triggers are opening the
object, approaching within a certain distance of it, or seeing
or reading the glyph.
</para>
<para>
You can further refine the trigger so the spell is activated
only under certain circumstances or according to a creature’s
physical characteristics (such as height or weight), or physical
kind (for example, the ward could be set to affect hags or
shapechangers). You can also specify creatures that don’t
trigger the glyph, such as those who say a certain password.
</para>
<para>
When you inscribe the glyph, choose one of the options below for
its effect. Once triggered, the glyph glows, filling a 60-foot
radius sphere with dim light for 10 minutes, after which time
the spell ends. Each creature in the sphere when the glyph
activates is targeted by its effect, as is a creature that
enters the sphere for the first time on a turn or ends its turn
there.

confines. Each such circle includes a unique sigil sequence-a
string of magical runes arranged in a particular pattern. When
you first gain the ability to cast this spell, you learn the
sigil sequences for two destinations on the Material Plane,
determined by the GM. You can learn additional sigil sequences
during your adventures. You can commit a new sigil sequence to
memory after studying it for 1 minute.
</para>
<para>
You can create a permanent teleportation circle by casting this
spell in the same location every day for one year. You need not
use the circle to teleport when you cast the spell in this way.

You might be able to achieve something beyond the scope of the
above examples. State your wish to the GM as precisely as
possible. The GM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in
such an instance; the greater the wish, the greater the
likelihood that something goes wrong. This spell might simply
fail, the effect you desire might only be partly achieved, or
you might suffer some unforeseen consequence as a result of how
you worded the wish. For example, wishing that a villain were
dead might propel you forward in time to a period when that
villain is no longer alive, effectively removing you from the
game. Similarly, wishing for a legendary magic item or artifact
might instantly transport you to the presence of the item’s
current owner.
</para>
<para>
The stress of casting this spell to produce any effect other
than duplicating another spell weakens you. After enduring that
stress, each time you cast a spell until you finish a long rest,
you take 1d10 necrotic damage per level of that spell. This
damage can’t be reduced or prevented in any way. In addition,
your Strength drops to 3, if it isn’t 3 or lower already, for
2d4 days. For each of those days that you spend resting and
doing nothing more than light activity, your remaining recovery
time decreases by 2 days. Finally, there is a 33 percent chance
that you are unable to cast <emphasis>wish</emphasis> ever again
if you suffer this stress.

dwell. They sprang from the brook and stream, their might

they are closely aligned with the forces of nature that druids
revere.

The gods of Olympus make themselves known with the gentle lap of
waves against the shores and the crash of the thunder among the
cloud-enshrouded peaks. The thick boar-infested woods and the
sere, olive-covered hillsides hold evidence of their passing.
Every aspect of nature echoes with their presence, and they’ve
made a place for themselves inside the human heart, too.

<title>The Egyptian Pantheon</title>
<para>
These gods are a young dynasty of an ancient divine family,
heirs to the rulership of the cosmos and the maintenance of the
divine principle of Ma’at-the fundamental order of truth,
justice, law, and order that puts gods, mortal pharaohs, and
ordinary men and women in their logical and rightful place in
the universe.
</para>
<para>
The Egyptian pantheon is unusual in having three gods
responsible for death, each with different alignments. Anubis is
the lawful neutral god of the afterlife, who judges the souls of
the dead. Set is a chaotic evil god of murder, perhaps best
known for killing his brother Osiris. And Nephthys is a chaotic
good goddess of mourning.

<title>The Norse Pantheon</title>
<para>
Where the land plummets from the snowy hills into the icy fjords
below, where the longboats draw up on to the beach, where the
glaciers flow forward and retreat with every fall and
spring-this is the land of the Vikings, the home of the Norse
pantheon. It’s a brutal clime, and one that calls for brutal
living. The warriors of the land have had to adapt to the harsh
conditions in order to survive, but they haven’t been too
twisted by the needs of their environment. Given the necessity
of raiding for food and wealth, it’s surprising the mortals
turned out as well as they did. Their powers reflect the need
these warriors had for strong leadership and decisive action.
Thus, they see their deities in every bend of a river, hear them
in the crash of the thunder and the booming of the glaciers, and
smell them in the smoke of a burning longhouse.
</para>
<para>
The Norse pantheon includes two main families, the Aesir
(deities of war and destiny) and the Vanir (gods of fertility
and prosperity). Once enemies, these two families are now
closely allied against their common enemies, the giants
(including the gods Surtur and Thrym).

<title>Planes</title>
<para>
The cosmos teems with a multitude of worlds as well as myriad
alternate dimensions of reality, called the
<emphasis role="strong">planes of existence</emphasis>. It
encompasses every world where GMs run their adventures, all within
the relatively mundane realm of the Material Plane. Beyond that
plane are domains of raw elemental matter and energy, realms of
pure thought and ethos, the homes of demons and angels, and the
dominions of the gods.
</para>
<para>
Many spells and magic items can draw energy from these planes,
summon the creatures that dwell there, communicate with their
denizens, and allow adventurers to travel there. As your character
achieves greater power and higher levels, you might walk on
streets made of solid fire or test your mettle on a battlefield
where the fallen are resurrected with each dawn.
</para>
<section xml:id="the-material-plane">
<title>The Material Plane</title>
<para>
The Material Plane is the nexus where the philosophical and
elemental forces that define the other planes collide in the
jumbled existence of mortal life and mundane matter. All fantasy
gaming worlds exist within the Material Plane, making it the
starting point for most campaigns and adventures. The rest of
the multiverse is defined in relation to the Material Plane.
</para>
<para>
The worlds of the Material Plane are infinitely diverse, for
they reflect the creative imagination of the GMs who set their
games there, as well as the players whose heroes adventure
there. They include magic-wasted desert planets and
island-dotted water worlds, worlds where magic combines with
advanced technology and others trapped in an endless Stone Age,
worlds where the gods walk and places they have abandoned.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="beyond-the-material">
<title>Beyond the Material</title>
<para>
Beyond the Material Plane, the various planes of existence are
realms of myth and mystery. They’re not simply other worlds, but
different qualities of being, formed and governed by spiritual
and elemental principles abstracted from the ordinary world.
</para>
<section xml:id="planar-travel">
<title>Planar Travel</title>
<para>
When adventurers travel into other planes of existence, they
are undertaking a legendary journey across the thresholds of
existence to a mythic destination where they strive to
complete their quest. Such a journey is the stuff of legend.
Braving the realms of the dead, seeking out the celestial
servants of a deity, or bargaining with an efreeti in its home
city will be the subject of song and story for years to come.
</para>
<para>
Travel to the planes beyond the Material Plane can be
accomplished in two ways: by casting a spell or by using a
planar portal.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Spells</emphasis></emphasis>.
A number of spells allow direct or indirect access to other
planes of existence. <emphasis>Plane shift</emphasis> and
<emphasis>gate</emphasis> can transport adventurers directly
to any other plane of existence, with different degrees of
precision. <emphasis>Etherealness</emphasis> allows
adventurers to enter the Ethereal Plane and travel from there
to any of the planes it touches-such as the Elemental Planes.
And the <emphasis>astral projection</emphasis> spell lets
adventurers project themselves into the Astral Plane and
travel to the Outer Planes.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Portals</emphasis></emphasis>.
A portal is a general term for a stationary interplanar
connection that links a specific location on one plane to a
specific location on another. Some portals are like doorways,
a clear window, or a fog- shrouded passage, and simply
stepping through it effects the interplanar travel. Others are
locations- circles of standing stones, soaring towers, sailing
ships, or even whole towns-that exist in multiple planes at
once or flicker from one plane to another in turn. Some are
vortices, typically joining an Elemental Plane with a very
similar location on the Material Plane, such as the heart of a
volcano (leading to the Plane of Fire) or the depths of the
ocean (to the Plane of Water).
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="transitive-planes">
<title>Transitive Planes</title>
<para>
The Ethereal Plane and the Astral Plane are called the
Transitive Planes. They are mostly featureless realms that
serve primarily as ways to travel from one plane to another.
Spells such as <emphasis>etherealness</emphasis> and
<emphasis>astral projection</emphasis> allow characters to
enter these planes and traverse them to reach the planes
beyond.
</para>
<para>
The <emphasis role="strong">Ethereal Plane</emphasis> is a
misty, fog-bound dimension that is sometimes described as a
great ocean. Its shores, called the Border Ethereal, overlap
the Material Plane and the Inner Planes, so that every
location on those planes has a corresponding location on the
Ethereal Plane. Certain creatures can see into the Border
Ethereal, and the <emphasis>see invisibility</emphasis> and
<emphasis>true seeing</emphasis> spell grant that ability.
Some magical effects also extend from the Material Plane into
the Border Ethereal, particularly effects that use force
energy such as <emphasis>forcecage</emphasis> and
<emphasis>wall of force</emphasis>. The depths of the plane,
the Deep Ethereal, are a region of swirling mists and colorful
fogs.
</para>
<para>
The <emphasis role="strong">Astral Plane</emphasis> is the
realm of thought and dream, where visitors travel as
disembodied souls to reach the planes of the divine and
demonic. It is a great, silvery sea, the same above and below,
with swirling wisps of white and gray streaking among motes of
light resembling distant stars. Erratic whirlpools of color
flicker in midair like spinning coins. Occasional bits of
solid matter can be found here, but most of the Astral Plane
is an endless, open domain.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="inner-planes">
<title>Inner Planes</title>
<para>
The Inner Planes surround and enfold the Material Plane and
its echoes, providing the raw elemental substance from which
all the worlds were made. The four
<emphasis role="strong">Elemental Planes</emphasis> - Air,
Earth, Fire, and Water - form a ring around the Material
Plane, suspended within the churning
<emphasis role="strong">Elemental Chaos</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
At their innermost edges, where they are closest to the
Material Plane (in a conceptual if not a literal geographical
sense), the four Elemental Planes resemble a world in the
Material Plane. The four elements mingle together as they do
in the Material Plane, forming land, sea, and sky. Farther
from the Material Plane, though, the Elemental Planes are both
alien and hostile. Here, the elements exist in their purest
form-great expanses of solid earth, blazing fire,
crystal-clear water, and unsullied air. These regions are
little-known, so when discussing the Plane of Fire, for
example, a speaker usually means just the border region. At
the farthest extents of the Inner Planes, the pure elements
dissolve and bleed together into an unending tumult of
clashing energies and colliding substance, the Elemental
Chaos.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="outer-planes">
<title>Outer Planes</title>
<para>
If the Inner Planes are the raw matter and energy that makes
up the multiverse, the Outer Planes are the direction, thought
and purpose for such construction. Accordingly, many sages
refer to the Outer Planes as divine planes, spiritual planes,
or godly planes, for the Outer Planes are best known as the
homes of deities.
</para>
<para>
When discussing anything to do with deities, the language used
must be highly metaphorical. Their actual homes are not
literally <quote>places</quote> at all, but exemplify the idea
that the Outer Planes are realms of thought and spirit. As
with the Elemental Planes, one can imagine the perceptible
part of the Outer Planes as a sort of border region, while
extensive spiritual regions lie beyond ordinary sensory
experience.
</para>
<para>
Even in those perceptible regions, appearances can be
deceptive. Initially, many of the Outer Planes appear
hospitable and familiar to natives of the Material Plane. But
the landscape can change at the whims of the powerful forces
that live on the Outer Planes. The desires of the mighty
forces that dwell on these planes can remake them completely,
effectively erasing and rebuilding existence itself to better
fulfill their own needs.
</para>
<para>
Distance is a virtually meaningless concept on the Outer
Planes. The perceptible regions of the planes often seem quite
small, but they can also stretch on to what seems like
infinity. It might be possible to take a guided tour of the
Nine Hells, from the first layer to the ninth, in a single
day-if the powers of the Hells desire it. Or it could take
weeks for travelers to make a grueling trek across a single
layer.
</para>
<para>
The most well-known Outer Planes are a group of sixteen planes
that correspond to the eight alignments (excluding neutrality)
and the shades of distinction between them.
</para>
<section xml:id="outer-planes-1">
<title>Outer Planes</title>
<para>
The planes with some element of good in their nature are
called the <emphasis role="strong">Upper Planes</emphasis>.
Celestial creatures such as angels and pegasi dwell in the
Upper Planes. Planes with some element of evil are the
<emphasis role="strong">Lower Planes</emphasis>. Fiends such
as demons and devils dwell in the Lower Planes. A plane’s
alignment is its essence, and a character whose alignment
doesn’t match the plane’s experiences a profound sense of
dissonance there. When a good creature visits Elysium, for
example (a neutral good Upper Plane), it feels in tune with
the plane, but an evil creature feels out of tune and more
than a little uncomfortable.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="demiplanes">
<title>Demiplanes</title>
<para>
Demiplanes are small extradimensional spaces with their own
unique rules. They are pieces of reality that don’t seem to
fit anywhere else. Demiplanes come into being by a variety
of means. Some are created by spells, such as
<emphasis>demiplane</emphasis>, or generated at the desire
of a powerful deity or other force. They may exist
naturally, as a fold of existing reality that has been
pinched off from the rest of the multiverse, or as a baby
universe growing in power. A given demiplane can be entered
through a single point where it touches another plane.
Theoretically, a <emphasis>plane shift</emphasis> spell can
also carry travelers to a demiplane, but the proper

acquire. The <emphasis>gate</emphasis> spell is more
reliable, assuming the caster knows of the demiplane.

<section xml:id="traps">
<title>Traps</title>
<para>
Traps can be found almost anywhere. One wrong step in an ancient
tomb might trigger a series of scything blades, which cleave
through armor and bone. The seemingly innocuous vines that hang
over a cave entrance might grasp and choke anyone who pushes
through them. A net hidden among the trees might drop on
travelers who pass underneath. In a fantasy game, unwary
adventurers can fall to their deaths, be burned alive, or fall
under a fusillade of poisoned darts.
</para>
<para>
A trap can be either mechanical or magical in nature.
<emphasis role="strong">Mechanical traps</emphasis> include
pits, arrow traps, falling blocks, water-filled rooms, whirling
blades, and anything else that depends on a mechanism to
operate. <emphasis role="strong">Magic traps</emphasis> are
either magical device traps or spell traps. Magical device traps
initiate spell effects when activated. Spell traps are spells
such as <emphasis>glyph of warding</emphasis> and
<emphasis>symbol</emphasis> that function as traps.
</para>
<section xml:id="traps-in-play">
<title>Traps in Play</title>
<para>
When adventurers come across a trap, you need to know how the
trap is triggered and what it does, as well as the possibility
for the characters to detect the trap and to disable or avoid
it.
</para>
<section xml:id="triggering-a-trap">
<title>Triggering a Trap</title>
<para>
Most traps are triggered when a creature goes somewhere or
touches something that the trap’s creator wanted to protect.
Common triggers include stepping on a pressure plate or a
false section of floor, pulling a trip wire, turning a
doorknob, and using the wrong key in a lock. Magic traps are
often set to go off when a creature enters an area or
touches an object. Some magic traps (such as the
<emphasis>glyph of warding</emphasis> spell) have more
complicated trigger conditions, including a password that
prevents the trap from activating.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="detecting-and-disabling-a-trap">
<title>Detecting and Disabling a Trap</title>
<para>
Usually, some element of a trap is visible to careful
inspection. Characters might notice an uneven flagstone that
conceals a pressure plate, spot the gleam of light off a
trip wire, notice small holes in the walls from which jets
of flame will erupt, or otherwise detect something that
points to a trap’s presence.
</para>
<para>
A trap’s description specifies the checks and DCs needed to
detect it, disable it, or both. A character actively looking
for a trap can attempt a Wisdom (Perception) check against
the trap’s DC. You can also compare the DC to detect the
trap with each character’s passive Wisdom (Perception) score
to determine whether anyone in the party notices the trap in
passing. If the adventurers detect a trap before triggering
it, they might be able to disarm it, either permanently or
long enough to move past it. You might call for an
Intelligence (Investigation) check for a character to deduce
what needs to be done, followed by a Dexterity check using
thieves’ tools to perform the necessary sabotage.
</para>
<para>
Any character can attempt an Intelligence (Arcana) check to
detect or disarm a magic trap, in addition to any other
checks noted in the trap’s description. The DCs are the same
regardless of the check used. In addition, <emphasis>dispel
magic</emphasis> has a chance of disabling most magic traps.
A magic trap’s description provides the DC for the ability
check made when you use <emphasis>dispel magic</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
In most cases, a trap’s description is clear enough that you
can adjudicate whether a character’s actions locate or foil
the trap. As with many situations, you shouldn’t allow die
rolling to override clever play and good planning. Use your
common sense, drawing on the trap’s description to determine
what happens. No trap’s design can anticipate every possible
action that the characters might attempt.
</para>
<para>
You should allow a character to discover a trap without
making an ability check if an action would clearly reveal
the trap’s presence. For example, if a character lifts a rug
that conceals a pressure plate, the character has found the
trigger and no check is required.
</para>
<para>
Foiling traps can be a little more complicated. Consider a
trapped treasure chest. If the chest is opened without first
pulling on the two handles set in its sides, a mechanism
inside fires a hail of poison needles toward anyone in front
of it. After inspecting the chest and making a few checks,
the characters are still unsure if it’s trapped. Rather than
simply open the chest, they prop a shield in front of it and
push the chest open at a distance with an iron rod. In this
case, the trap still triggers, but the hail of needles fires
harmlessly into the shield.
</para>
<para>
Traps are often designed with mechanisms that allow them to
be disarmed or bypassed. Intelligent monsters that place
traps in or around their lairs need ways to get past those
traps without harming themselves. Such traps might have
hidden levers that disable their triggers, or a secret door
might conceal a passage that goes around the trap.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="trap-effects">
<title>Trap Effects</title>
<para>
The effects of traps can range from inconvenient to deadly,
making use of elements such as arrows, spikes, blades,
poison, toxic gas, blasts of fire, and deep pits. The
deadliest traps combine multiple elements to kill, injure,
contain, or drive off any creature unfortunate enough to
trigger them. A trap’s description specifies what happens
when it is triggered.
</para>
<para>
The attack bonus of a trap, the save DC to resist its
effects, and the damage it deals can vary depending on the
trap’s severity. Use the Trap Save DCs and Attack Bonuses
table and the Damage Severity by Level table for suggestions
based on three levels of trap severity.
</para>
<para>
A trap intended to be a
<emphasis role="strong">setback</emphasis> is unlikely to
kill or seriously harm characters of the indicated levels,
whereas a <emphasis role="strong">dangerous</emphasis> trap
is likely to seriously injure (and potentially kill)

<section xml:id="complex-traps">
<title>Complex Traps</title>
<para>
Complex traps work like standard traps, except once
activated they execute a series of actions each round. A
complex trap turns the process of dealing with a trap into
something more like a combat encounter.
</para>
<para>
When a complex trap activates, it rolls initiative. The
trap’s description includes an initiative bonus. On its
turn, the trap activates again, often taking an action. It
might make successive attacks against intruders, create an
effect that changes over time, or otherwise produce a
dynamic challenge. Otherwise, the complex trap can be
detected and disabled or bypassed in the usual ways.
</para>
<para>
For example, a trap that causes a room to slowly flood works
best as a complex trap. On the trap’s turn, the water level
rises. After several rounds, the room is completely flooded.

<title>Collapsing Roof</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Mechanical trap</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This trap uses a trip wire to collapse the supports keeping
an unstable section of a ceiling in place.
</para>
<para>
The trip wire is 3 inches off the ground and stretches
between two support beams. The DC to spot the trip wire is
10. A successful DC 15 Dexterity check using thieves’ tools
disables the trip wire harmlessly. A character without
thieves’ tools can attempt this check with disadvantage
using any edged weapon or edged tool. On a failed check, the
trap triggers.
</para>
<para>
Anyone who inspects the beams can easily determine that they
are merely wedged in place. As an action, a character can
knock over a beam, causing the trap to trigger.
</para>
<para>
The ceiling above the trip wire is in bad repair, and anyone
who can see it can tell that it’s in danger of collapse.
</para>
<para>
When the trap is triggered, the unstable ceiling collapses.
Any creature in the area beneath the unstable section must
succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10)
bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage
on a successful one. Once the trap is triggered, the floor
of the area is filled with rubble and becomes difficult
terrain.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="falling-net">
<title>Falling Net</title>

<emphasis>Mechanical trap</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This trap uses a trip wire to release a net suspended from
the ceiling.
</para>
<para>
The trip wire is 3 inches off the ground and stretches
between two columns or trees. The net is hidden by cobwebs
or foliage. The DC to spot the trip wire and net is 10. A
successful DC 15 Dexterity check using thieves’ tools breaks
the trip wire harmlessly. A character without thieves’ tools
can attempt this check with disadvantage using any edged
weapon or edged tool. On a failed check, the trap triggers.
</para>
<para>
When the trap is triggered, the net is released, covering a
10-foot square area. Those in the area are trapped under the
net and restrained, and those that fail a DC 10 Strength
saving throw are also knocked prone. A creature can use its
action to make a DC 10
</para>

that section.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="fire-breathing-statue">
<title>Fire-Breathing Statue</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Magic trap</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This trap is activated when an intruder steps on a hidden
pressure plate, releasing a magical gout of flame from a
nearby statue. The statue can be of anything, including a
dragon or a wizard casting a spell.
</para>
<para>
The DC is 15 to spot the pressure plate, as well as faint
scorch marks on the floor and walls. A spell or other effect
that can sense the presence of magic, such as
<emphasis>detect magic</emphasis>, reveals an aura of
evocation magic around the statue.
</para>
<para>
The trap activates when more than 20 pounds of weight is
placed on the pressure plate, causing the statue to release
a 30-foot cone of fire. Each creature in the fire must make
a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 22 (4d10) fire damage
on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful
one.
</para>
<para>
Wedging an iron spike or other object under the pressure
plate prevents the trap from activating. A successful

<para>
<emphasis>Mechanical trap</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
Four basic pit traps are presented here.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Simple
Pit</emphasis></emphasis>. A simple pit trap is a hole dug
in the ground. The hole is covered by a large cloth anchored
on the pit’s edge and camouflaged with dirt and debris.
</para>
<para>
The DC to spot the pit is 10. Anyone stepping on the cloth
falls through and pulls the cloth down into the pit, taking
damage based on the pit’s depth (usually 10 feet, but some
pits are deeper).
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Hidden
Pit</emphasis></emphasis>. This pit has a cover constructed
from material identical to the floor around it.
</para>
<para>
A successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check discerns an
absence of foot traffic over the section of floor that forms
the pit’s cover. A successful DC 15 Intelligence
(Investigation) check is necessary to confirm that the
trapped section of floor is actually the cover of a pit.
</para>
<para>
When a creature steps on the cover, it swings open like a
trapdoor, causing the intruder to spill into the pit below.
The pit is usually 10 or 20 feet deep but can be deeper.
</para>
<para>
Once the pit trap is detected, an iron spike or similar
object can be wedged between the pit’s cover and the
surrounding floor in such a way as to prevent the cover from
opening, thereby making it safe to cross. The cover can also
be magically held shut using the <emphasis>arcane
lock</emphasis> spell or similar magic.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Locking
Pit</emphasis></emphasis>. This pit trap is identical to a
hidden pit trap, with one key exception: the trap door that
covers the pit is spring-loaded. After a creature falls into
the pit, the cover snaps shut to trap its victim inside.
</para>
<para>
A successful DC 20 Strength check is necessary to pry the
cover open. The cover can also be smashed open. A character
in the pit can also attempt to disable the spring mechanism
from the inside with a DC 15 Dexterity check using thieves’
tools, provided that the mechanism can be reached and the
character can see. In some cases, a mechanism (usually
hidden behind a secret door nearby) opens the pit.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Spiked
Pit</emphasis></emphasis>. This pit trap is a simple,
hidden, or locking pit trap with sharpened wooden or iron
spikes at the bottom. A creature falling into the pit takes
11 (2d10) piercing damage from the spikes, in addition to
any falling damage. Even nastier versions have poison
smeared on the spikes. In that case, anyone taking piercing
damage from the spikes must also make a DC 13 Constitution
saving throw, taking an 22 (4d10) poison damage on a failed
save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="poison-darts">
<title>Poison Darts</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Mechanical trap</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
When a creature steps on a hidden pressure plate,
poison-tipped darts shoot from spring-loaded or pressurized
tubes cleverly embedded in the surrounding walls. An area
might include multiple pressure plates, each one rigged to
its own set of darts.
</para>
<para>
The tiny holes in the walls are obscured by dust and
cobwebs, or cleverly hidden amid bas-reliefs, murals, or
frescoes that adorn the walls. The DC to spot them is 15.
With a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check,
a character can deduce the presence of the pressure plate
from variations in the mortar and stone used to create it,
compared to the surrounding floor. Wedging an iron spike or
other object under the pressure plate prevents the trap from
activating. Stuffing the holes with cloth or wax prevents
the darts contained within from launching.
</para>
<para>
The trap activates when more than 20 pounds of weight is
placed on the pressure plate, releasing four darts. Each
dart makes a ranged attack with a +8
</para>
<para>
bonus against a random target within 10 feet of the pressure
plate (vision is irrelevant to this attack roll). (If there
are no targets in the area, the darts don’t hit anything.) A
target that is hit takes 2 (1d4) piercing damage and must
succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 11
(2d10) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="poison-needle">
<title>Poison Needle</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Mechanical trap</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
A poisoned needle is hidden within a treasure chest’s lock,
or in something else that a creature might open. Opening the
chest without the proper key causes the needle to spring
out, delivering a dose of poison.
</para>
<para>
When the trap is triggered, the needle extends 3 inches
straight out from the lock. A creature within range takes 1
piercing damage and 11 (2d10) poison damage, and must
succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned
for 1 hour.
</para>
<para>
A successful DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) check allows
a character to deduce the trap’s presence from alterations
made to the lock to accommodate the needle. A successful DC
15 Dexterity check using thieves’ tools disarms the trap,
removing the needle from the lock. Unsuccessfully attempting
to pick the lock triggers the trap.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="rolling-sphere">
<title>Rolling Sphere</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Mechanical trap</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
When 20 or more pounds of pressure are placed on this trap’s
pressure plate, a hidden trapdoor in the ceiling opens,
releasing a 10-foot diameter rolling sphere of solid stone.
</para>
<para>
With a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check, a
character can spot the trapdoor and pressure plate. A search
of the floor accompanied by a successful DC 15 Intelligence
(Investigation) check reveals variations in the mortar and
stone that betray the pressure plate’s presence. The same
check made while inspecting the ceiling notes variations in
the stonework that reveal the trapdoor. Wedging an iron
spike or other object under the pressure plate prevents the
trap from activating.
</para>
<para>
Activation of the sphere requires all creatures present to
roll initiative. The sphere rolls initiative with a +8
bonus. On its turn, it moves 60 feet in a straight line. The
sphere can move through creatures’ spaces, and creatures can
move through its space, treating it as difficult terrain.
Whenever the sphere enters a creature’s space or a creature
enters its space while it’s rolling, that creature must
succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 55 (10d10)
bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone.
</para>
<para>
The sphere stops when it hits a wall or similar barrier. It
can’t go around corners, but smart dungeon builders
incorporate gentle, curving turns into nearby passages that
allow the sphere to keep moving.
</para>
<para>
As an action, a creature within 5 feet of the sphere can
attempt to slow it down with a DC 20 Strength check. On a
successful check, the sphere’s speed is reduced by 15 feet.
If the sphere’s speed drops to 0, it stops moving and is no
longer a threat.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sphere-of-annihilation">
<title>Sphere of Annihilation</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Magic trap</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
Magical, impenetrable darkness fills the gaping mouth of a
stone face carved into a wall. The mouth is 2 feet in
diameter and roughly circular. No sound issues from it, no
light can illuminate the inside of it, and any matter that
enters it is instantly obliterated.
</para>
<para>
A successful DC 20 Intelligence (Arcana) check reveals that
the mouth contains a <emphasis>sphere of
annihilation</emphasis> that can’t be controlled or moved.
It is otherwise identical to a normal <emphasis>sphere of
annihilation</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
Some versions of the trap include an enchantment placed on
the stone face, such that specified creatures feel an
overwhelming urge to approach it and crawl inside its mouth.
This effect is otherwise like the sympathy aspect of the

<emphasis>dispel magic</emphasis> (DC 18) removes this
enchantment.

to make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save,
the creature takes 5 (1d10) psychic damage and becomes
incapacitated with mad laughter for 1 minute. The creature
can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns,
ending the mad laughter and the incapacitated condition on a
success.
</para>
<para>
Any humanoid creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of
an infected creature in the throes of mad laughter must
succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or also become
infected with the disease. Once a creature succeeds on this
save, it is immune to the mad laughter of that particular
infected creature for 24 hours.
</para>
<para>
At the end of each long rest, an infected creature can make
a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, the
DC for this save and for the save to avoid an attack of mad
laughter drops by 1d6. When the saving throw DC drops to 0,
the creature recovers from the disease. A creature that
fails three of these saving throws gains a randomly
determined form of indefinite madness, as described later in
this chapter.
</para>

<section xml:id="sewer-plague">
<title>Sewer Plague</title>
<para>
Sewer plague is a generic term for a broad category of
illnesses that incubate in sewers, refuse heaps, and
stagnant swamps, and which are sometimes transmitted by
creatures that dwell in those areas, such as rats and
otyughs.
</para>
<para>
When a humanoid creature is bitten by a creature that
carries the disease, or when it comes into contact with
filth or offal contaminated by the disease, the creature
must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or become
infected.
</para>
<para>
It takes 1d4 days for sewer plague’s symptoms to manifest in
an infected creature. Symptoms include fatigue and cramps.
The infected creature suffers one level of exhaustion, and
it regains only half the normal number of hit points from
spending Hit Dice and no hit points from finishing a long
rest.
</para>
<para>
At the end of each long rest, an infected creature must make
a DC 11 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the
character gains one level of exhaustion. On a successful
save, the character’s exhaustion level decreases by one
level. If a successful saving throw reduces the infected
creature’s level of exhaustion below 1, the creature
recovers from the disease.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sight-rot">
<title>Sight Rot</title>
<para>
This painful infection causes bleeding from the eyes and
eventually blinds the victim.
</para>
<para>
A beast or humanoid that drinks water tainted by sight rot
must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become
infected. One day after infection, the creature’s vision
starts to become blurry. The creature takes a -1 penalty to
attack rolls and ability checks that rely on sight. At the
end of each long rest after the symptoms appear, the penalty
worsens by 1. When it reaches -5, the victim is blinded
until its sight is restored by magic such as
<emphasis>lesser restoration</emphasis> or
<emphasis>heal</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
Sight rot can be cured using a rare flower called Eyebright,
which grows in some swamps. Given an hour, a character who
has proficiency with an herbalism kit can turn the flower
into one dose of ointment. Applied to the eyes before a long
rest, one dose of it prevents the disease from worsening
after that rest. After three doses, the ointment cures the
disease entirely.
</para>

<title>Madness</title>
<para>
In a typical campaign, characters aren’t driven mad by the
horrors they face and the carnage they inflict day after day,
but sometimes the stress of being an adventurer can be too much
to bear. If your campaign has a strong horror theme, you might
want to use madness as a way to reinforce that theme,
emphasizing the extraordinarily horrific nature of the threats
the adventurers face.
</para>
<section xml:id="going-mad">
<title>Going Mad</title>
<para>
Various magical effects can inflict madness on an otherwise
stable mind. Certain spells, such as <emphasis>contact other
plane</emphasis> and <emphasis>symbol</emphasis>, can cause
insanity, and you can use the madness rules here instead of
the spell effects of those spells. Diseases, poisons, and
planar effects such as psychic wind or the howling winds of
Pandemonium can all inflict madness. Some artifacts can also
break the psyche of a character who uses or becomes attuned to
them.
</para>
<para>
Resisting a madness-inducing effect usually requires a Wisdom
or Charisma saving throw.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="madness-effects">
<title>Madness Effects</title>
<para>
Madness can be short-term, long-term, or indefinite. Most
relatively mundane effects impose short-term madness, which
lasts for just a few minutes. More horrific effects or
cumulative effects can result in long-term or indefinite
madness.
</para>
<para>
A character afflicted with <emphasis role="strong">short-term

<title>Objects</title>
<para>
When characters need to saw through ropes, shatter a window, or
smash a vampire’s coffin, the only hard and fast rule is this:
given enough time and the right tools, characters can destroy
any destructible object. Use common sense when determining a
character’s success at damaging an object. Can a fighter cut
through a section of a stone wall with a sword? No, the sword is
likely to break before the wall does.
</para>
<para>
For the purpose of these rules, an object is a discrete,
inanimate item like a window, door, sword, book, table, chair,
or stone, not a building or a vehicle that is composed of many
other objects.
</para>

That said, one torch can burn a Huge tapestry, and an
<emphasis>earthquake</emphasis> spell can reduce a colossus to
rubble. You can track a Huge or Gargantuan object’s hit points
if you like, or you can simply decide how long the object can
withstand whatever weapon or force is acting against it. If
you track hit points for the object, divide it into Large or
smaller sections, and track each section’s hit points
separately. Destroying one of those sections could ruin the
entire object. For example, a Gargantuan statue of a human
might topple over when one of its Large legs is reduced to 0

psychic damage. You might decide that some damage types are
more effective against a particular object or substance than

smashing things but not for cutting through rope or leather.
Paper or cloth objects might be vulnerable to fire and

that fails to meet or exceed the object’s damage threshold is
considered superficial and doesn’t reduce the object’s hit

<section xml:id="poisons">
<title>Poisons</title>
<para>
Given their insidious and deadly nature, poisons are illegal in

and other evil creatures.
</para>
<para>
Poisons come in the following four types.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Contact</emphasis></emphasis>.
Contact poison can be smeared on an object and remains potent
until it is touched or washed off. A creature that touches
contact poison with exposed skin suffers its effects.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Ingested</emphasis></emphasis>.
A creature must swallow an entire dose of ingested poison to
suffer its effects. The dose can be delivered in food or a
liquid. You may decide that a partial dose has a reduced effect,
such as allowing advantage on the saving throw or dealing only
half damage on a failed save.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Inhaled</emphasis></emphasis>.
These poisons are powders or gases that take effect when
inhaled. Blowing the powder or releasing the gas subjects
creatures in a 5-foot cube to its effect. The resulting cloud
dissipates immediately afterward. Holding one’s breath is
ineffective against inhaled poisons, as they affect nasal
membranes, tear ducts, and other parts of the body.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Injury</emphasis></emphasis>.
Injury poison can be applied to weapons, ammunition, trap
components, and other objects that deal piercing or slashing
damage and remains potent until delivered through a wound or
washed off. A creature that takes piercing or slashing damage
from an object coated with the poison is exposed to its effects.

Each type of poison has its own debilitating effects.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Assassin’s Blood
(Ingested)</emphasis></emphasis>. A creature subjected to this
poison must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a

poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or
take 10 (3d6) poison damage, and must repeat the saving throw
at the start of each of its turns. On each successive failed
save, the character takes 3 (1d6) poison damage. After three
successful saves, the poison ends.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Crawler Mucus
(Contact)</emphasis></emphasis>. This poison must be harvested
from a dead or incapacitated crawler. A creature subjected to
this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw

paralyzed. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end
of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a
success.
</para>

The extradimensional creature attached to the bag can sense

placed wholly in the bag is devoured and lost forever. When part

someone reaches inside it, there is a 50 percent chance that the

use its action to try to escape with a successful DC 15 Strength
check. Another creature can use its action to reach into the bag
to pull a creature out, doing so with a successful DC 20
Strength check (provided it isn’t pulled inside the bag first).
Any creature that starts its turn inside the bag is devoured,

<title>Bead of Force</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Wondrous item, rare</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This small black sphere measures 3/4 of an inch in diameter and
weighs an ounce. Typically, 1d4+4 <emphasis>beads of
force</emphasis> are found together.
</para>
<para>
You can use an action to throw the bead up to 60 feet. The bead
explodes on impact and is destroyed. Each creature within a
10-foot radius of where the bead landed must succeed on a DC 15
Dexterity saving throw or take 5d4 force damage. A sphere of
transparent force then encloses the area for 1 minute. Any
creature that failed the save and is completely within the area
is trapped inside this sphere. Creatures that succeeded on the
save, or are partially within the area, are pushed away from the
center of the sphere until they are no longer inside it. Only
breathable air can pass through the sphere’s wall. No attack or
other effect can.
</para>
<para>
An enclosed creature can use its action to push against the
sphere’s wall, moving the sphere up to half the creature’s
walking speed. The sphere can be picked up, and its magic causes
it to weigh only 1 pound, regardless of the weight of creatures
inside.

<title>Cube of Force</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This cube is about an inch across. Each face has a distinct
marking on it that can be pressed. The cube starts with 36
charges, and it regains 1d20 expended charges daily at dawn.
</para>
<para>
You can use an action to press one of the cube’s faces,
expending a number of charges based on the chosen face, as shown
in the Cube of Force Faces table. Each face has a different
effect. If the cube has insufficient charges remaining, nothing
happens. Otherwise, a barrier of invisible force springs into
existence, forming a cube 15 feet on a side. The barrier is
centered on you, moves with you, and lasts for 1 minute, until
you use an action to press the cube’s sixth face, or the cube
runs out of charges. You can change the barrier’s effect by
pressing a different face of the cube and expending the
requisite number of charges, resetting the duration.
</para>
<para>
If your movement causes the barrier to come into contact with a
solid object that can’t pass through the cube, you can’t move
any closer to that object as long as the barrier remains.

<para>
<emphasis>Weapon (any sword), very rare (requires

</para>
<para>
You can use a bonus action to toss this magic sword into the air
and speak the command word. When you do so, the sword begins to
hover, flies up to 30 feet, and attacks one creature of your
choice within 5 feet of it. The sword uses your attack roll and
ability score modifier to damage rolls.
</para>

While the sword hovers, you can use a bonus action to cause it
to fly up to 30 feet to another spot within 30 feet of you. As
part of the same bonus action, you can cause the sword to attack
one creature within 5 feet of it.
</para>
<para>
After the hovering sword attacks for the fourth time, it flies
up to 30 feet and tries to return to your hand. If you have no
hand free, it falls to the ground at your feet. If the sword has
no unobstructed path to you, it moves as close to you as it can
and then falls to the ground. It also ceases to hover if you
grasp it or move more than 30 feet away from it.

<title>Deck of Illusions</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Wondrous item, uncommon</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This box contains a set of parchment cards. A full deck has 34
cards. A deck found as treasure is usually missing 1d20-1 cards.
</para>
<para>
The magic of the deck functions only if cards are drawn at
random (you can use an altered deck of playing cards to simulate
the deck). You can use an action to draw a card at random from
the deck and throw it to the ground at a point within 30 feet of
you.
</para>
<para>
An illusion of one or more creatures forms over the thrown card
and remains until dispelled. An illusory creature appears real,
of the appropriate size, and behaves as if it were a real
creature except that it can do no harm. While you are within 120
feet of the illusory creature and can see it, you can use an
action to move it magically anywhere within 30 feet of its card.
Any physical interaction with the illusory creature reveals it
to be an illusion, because objects pass through it. Someone who
uses an action to visually inspect the creature identifies it as
illusory with a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation)
check. The creature then appears translucent.
</para>
<para>
The illusion lasts until its card is moved or the illusion is
dispelled. When the illusion ends, the image on its card
disappears, and that card can’t be used again.

Usually found in a box or pouch, this deck contains a number of
cards made of ivory or vellum. Most (75 percent) of these decks
have only thirteen cards, but the rest have twenty-two.
</para>
<para>
Before you draw a card, you must declare how many cards you
intend to draw and then draw them randomly (you can use an
altered deck of playing cards to simulate the deck). Any cards
drawn in excess of this number have no effect. Otherwise, as
soon as you draw a card from the deck, its magic takes effect.
You must draw each card no more than 1 hour after the previous
draw. If you fail to draw the chosen number, the remaining
number of cards fly from the deck on their own and take effect
all at once.
</para>
<para>
Once a card is drawn, it fades from existence. Unless the card
is the Fool or the Jester, the card reappears in the deck,
making it possible to draw the same card twice.

are as follows:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing="compact">
<listitem>
<para>
The <emphasis>goat of traveling</emphasis> can become a
Large goat with the same statistics as a riding horse. It
has 24 charges, and each hour or portion thereof it spends
in beast form costs 1 charge. While it has charges, you
can use it as often as you wish. When it runs out of
charges, it reverts to a figurine and can’t be used again
until 7 days have passed, when it regains all its charges.
</para>

</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <emphasis>goat of terror</emphasis> becomes a giant
goat for up to 3 hours. The goat can’t attack, but you can
remove its horns and use them as weapons. One horn becomes
a <emphasis>+1 lance</emphasis>, and the other becomes a
<emphasis>+2 longsword</emphasis>. Removing a horn
requires an action, and the weapons disappear and the
horns return when the goat reverts to figurine form. In
addition, the goat radiates a 30-foot radius aura of
terror while you are riding it. Any creature hostile to
you that starts its turn in the aura must succeed on a DC
15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of the goat for 1
minute, or until the goat reverts to figurine form. The
frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end
of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a
success. Once it successfully saves against the effect, a
creature is immune to the goat’s aura for the next 24
hours. Once the figurine has been used, it can’t be used
again until 15 days have passed.

</para>
<para>
If you have a good alignment, the figurine has a 10 percent
chance each time you use it to ignore your orders, including a

while it is ignoring your orders, you and the nightmare are
instantly transported to a random location on the plane of
Hades, where the nightmare reverts to figurine form.

Placing an object in the haversack follows the normal rules for

The haversack has a few limitations. If it is overloaded, or if
a sharp object pierces it or tears it, the haversack ruptures

are lost forever, although an artifact always turns up again
somewhere. If the haversack is turned inside out, its contents
spill forth, unharmed, and the haversack must be put right

<emphasis>Wondrous item, rarity varies (requires

</para>
<para>
An <emphasis>Ioun stone</emphasis> is named after Ioun, a god of
knowledge and prophecy revered on some worlds. Many types of
<emphasis>Ioun stone</emphasis> exist, each type a distinct
combination of shape and color.
</para>
<para>
When you use an action to toss one of these stones into the air,
the stone orbits your head at a distance of 1d3 feet and confers
a benefit to you. Thereafter, another creature must use an
action to grasp or net the stone to separate it from you, either
by making a successful attack roll against AC 24 or a successful
DC 24 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. You can use an action to
seize and stow the stone, ending its effect.
</para>
<para>
A stone has AC 24, 10 hit points, and resistance to all damage.
It is considered to be an object that is being worn while it
orbits your head.

<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Absorption (Very
Rare)</emphasis></emphasis>. While this pale lavender ellipsoid
orbits your head, you can use your reaction to cancel a spell of
4th level or lower cast by a creature you can see and targeting
only you.
</para>
<para>
Once the stone has canceled 20 levels of spells, it burns out
and turns dull gray, losing its magic. If you are targeted by a
spell whose level is higher than the number of spell levels the
stone has left, the stone can’t cancel it.

spells cast into it, holding them until you use them. The stone
can store up to 3 levels worth of spells at a time. When found,
it contains 1d4-1 levels of stored spells chosen by the GM.
</para>
<para>
Any creature can cast a spell of 1st through 3rd level into the
stone by touching it as the spell is cast. The spell has no
effect, other than to be stored in the stone. If the stone can’t
hold the spell, the spell is expended without effect. The level
of the slot used to cast the spell determines how much space it
uses.
</para>
<para>
While this stone orbits your head, you can cast any spell stored
in it. The spell uses the slot level, spell save DC, spell
attack bonus, and spellcasting ability of the original caster,
but is otherwise treated as if you cast the spell. The spell
cast from the stone is no longer stored in it, freeing up space.

<title>Iron Bands of Binding</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Wondrous item, rare</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This rusty iron sphere measures 3 inches in diameter and weighs
1 pound. You can use an action to speak the command word and
throw the sphere at a Huge or smaller creature you can see
within 60 feet of you. As the sphere moves through the air, it
opens into a tangle of metal bands.
</para>
<para>
Make a ranged attack roll with an attack bonus equal to your
Dexterity modifier plus your proficiency bonus. On a hit, the
target is restrained until you take a bonus action to speak the
command word again to release it. Doing so, or missing with the
attack, causes the bands to contract and become a sphere once
more.
</para>
<para>
A creature, including the one restrained, can use an action to
make a DC 20 Strength check to break the iron bands. On a
success, the item is destroyed, and the restrained creature is
freed. If the check fails, any further attempts made by that
creature automatically fail until 24 hours have elapsed.
</para>
<para>
Once the bands are used, they can’t be used again until the next
dawn.
</para>

<section xml:id="iron-flask">
<title>Iron Flask</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Wondrous item, legendary</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This iron bottle has a brass stopper. You can use an action to
speak the flask’s command word, targeting a creature that you
can see within 60 feet of you. If the target is native to a
plane of existence other than the one you’re on, the target must
succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be trapped in the
flask. If the target has been trapped by the flask before, it
has advantage on the saving throw. Once trapped, a creature
remains in the flask until released. The flask can hold only one
creature at a time. A creature trapped in the flask doesn’t need
to breathe, eat, or drink and doesn’t age.
</para>
<para>
You can use an action to remove the flask’s stopper and release
the creature the flask contains. The creature is friendly to you
and your companions for 1 hour and obeys your commands for that
duration. If you give no commands or give it a command that is
likely to result in its death, it defends itself but otherwise
takes no actions. At the end of the duration, the creature acts
in accordance with its normal disposition and alignment.
</para>
<para>
An <emphasis>identify</emphasis> spell reveals that a creature
is inside the flask, but the only way to determine the type of
creature is to open the flask. A newly discovered bottle might
already contain a creature chosen by the GM or determined
randomly.

<emphasis>Weapon (javelin), uncommon</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This javelin is a magic weapon. When you hurl it and speak its
command word, it transforms into a bolt of lightning, forming a
line 5 feet wide that extends out from you to a target within
120 feet. Each creature in the line excluding you and the target
must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 lightning
damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful
one. The lightning bolt turns back into a javelin when it
reaches the target. Make a ranged weapon attack against the
target. On a hit, the target takes damage from the javelin plus
4d6 lightning damage.

an action and expend 1 charge to release a wave of terror. Each
creature of your choice in a 30-foot radius extending from you
must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened
of you for 1 minute. While it is frightened in this way, a
creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from
you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30
feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it
can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect

<section xml:id="marvelous-pigments">
<title>Marvelous Pigments</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Wondrous item, very rare</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
Typically found in 1d4 pots inside a fine wooden box with a
brush (weighing 1 pound in total), these pigments allow you to
create three-dimensional objects by painting them in two
dimensions. The paint flows from the brush to form the desired
object as you concentrate on its image.
</para>
<para>
Each pot of paint is sufficient to cover 1,000 square feet of a
surface, which lets you create inanimate objects or terrain
features-such as a door, a pit, flowers, trees, cells, rooms, or
weapons - that are up to 10,000 cubic feet. It takes 10 minutes
to cover 100 square feet.
</para>
<para>
When you complete the painting, the object or terrain feature
depicted becomes a real, nonmagical object. Thus, painting a
door on a wall creates an actual door that can be opened to
whatever is beyond. Painting a pit on a floor creates a real
pit, and its depth counts against the total area of objects you
create.
</para>
<para>
Nothing created by the pigments can have a value greater than 25
gp. If you paint an object of greater value (such as a diamond
or a pile of gold), the object looks authentic, but close
inspection reveals it is made from paste, bone, or some other
worthless material.

If you paint a form of energy such as fire or lightning, the
energy appears but dissipates as soon as you complete the

<section xml:id="mirror-of-life-trapping">
<title>Mirror of Life Trapping</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Wondrous item, very rare</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
When this 4-foot tall mirror is viewed indirectly, its surface
shows faint images of creatures. The mirror weighs 50 pounds,
and it has AC 11, 10 hit points, and vulnerability to
bludgeoning damage. It shatters and is destroyed when reduced to
0 hit points.
</para>
<para>
If the mirror is hanging on a vertical surface and you are
within 5 feet of it, you can use an action to speak its command
word and activate it. It remains activated until you use an
action to speak the command word again.
</para>
<para>
Any creature other than you that sees its reflection in the
activated mirror while within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC
15 Charisma saving throw or be trapped, along with anything it
is wearing or carrying, in one of the mirror’s twelve
extradimensional cells. This saving throw is made with advantage
if the creature knows the mirror’s nature, and constructs
succeed on the saving throw automatically.
</para>
<para>
An extradimensional cell is an infinite expanse filled with
thick fog that reduces visibility to 10 feet. Creatures trapped
in the mirror’s cells don’t age, and they don’t need to eat,
drink, or sleep. A creature trapped within a cell can escape
using magic that permits planar travel. Otherwise, the creature
is confined to the cell until freed.
</para>
<para>
If the mirror traps a creature but its twelve extradimensional
cells are already occupied, the mirror frees one trapped
creature at random to accommodate the new prisoner. A freed
creature appears in an unoccupied space within sight of the
mirror but facing away from it. If the mirror is shattered, all
creatures it contains are freed and appear in unoccupied spaces
near it.
</para>
<para>
While within 5 feet of the mirror, you can use an action to
speak the name of one creature trapped in it or call out a
particular cell by number. The creature named or contained in
the named cell appears as an image on the mirror’s surface. You
and the creature can then communicate normally.
</para>
<para>
In a similar way, you can use an action to speak a second
command word and free one creature trapped in the mirror. The
freed creature appears, along with its possessions, in the
unoccupied space nearest to the mirror and facing away from it.

bead loses its magic.
</para>
<para>
Six types of magic beads exist. The GM decides the type of each
bead on the necklace or determines it randomly. A necklace can
have more than one bead of the same type. To use one, you must
be wearing the necklace. Each bead contains a spell that you can
cast from it as a bonus action (using your spell save DC if a
save is necessary). Once a magic bead’s spell is cast, that bead
can’t be used again until the next dawn.

You must be proficient with wind instruments to use these pipes.
They have 3 charges. You can use an action to play them and
expend 1 charge to create an eerie, spellbinding tune. Each
creature within 30 feet of you that hears you play must succeed
on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you for 1
minute. If you wish, all creatures in the area that aren’t
hostile toward you automatically succeed on the saving throw. A
creature that fails the saving throw can repeat it at the end of

<emphasis>Wondrous item, uncommon (requires

<para>
You must be proficient with wind instruments to use these pipes.
While you are attuned to the pipes, ordinary rats and giant rats
are indifferent toward you and will not attack you unless you
threaten or harm them.
</para>
<para>
The pipes have 3 charges. If you play the pipes as an action,
you can use a bonus action to expend 1 to 3 charges, calling
forth one swarm of rats with each expended charge, provided that
enough rats are within half a mile of you to be called in this
fashion (as determined by the GM). If there aren’t enough rats
to form a swarm, the charge is wasted. Called swarms move toward
the music by the shortest available route but aren’t under your
control otherwise. The pipes regain 1d3 expended charges daily
at dawn.
</para>
<para>
Whenever a swarm of rats that isn’t under another creature’s
control comes within 30 feet of you while you are playing the
pipes, you can make a Charisma check contested by the swarm’s
Wisdom check. If you lose the contest, the swarm behaves as it
normally would and can’t be swayed by the pipes’ music for the
next 24 hours. If you win the contest, the swarm is swayed by
the pipes’ music and becomes friendly to you and your companions
for as long as you continue to play the pipes each round as an
action. A friendly swarm obeys your commands. If you issue no
commands to a friendly swarm, it defends itself but otherwise
takes no actions. If a friendly swarm starts its turn and can’t
hear the pipes’ music, your control over that swarm ends, and
the swarm behaves as it normally would and can’t be swayed by
the pipes’ music for the next 24 hours.

This fine black cloth, soft as silk, is folded up to the

feet in diameter.
</para>
<para>
You can use an action to unfold a <emphasis>portable
hole</emphasis> and place it on or against a solid surface,
whereupon the <emphasis>portable hole</emphasis> creates an
extradimensional hole 10 feet deep. The cylindrical space within
the hole exists on a different plane, so it can’t be used to
create open passages. Any creature inside an open
<emphasis>portable hole</emphasis> can exit the hole by climbing
out of it.
</para>
<para>
You can use an action to close a <emphasis>portable
hole</emphasis> by taking hold of the edges of the cloth and
folding it up. Folding the cloth closes the hole, and any
creatures or objects within remain in the extradimensional
space. No matter what’s in it, the hole weighs next to nothing.
</para>
<para>
If the hole is folded up, a creature within the hole’s
extradimensional space can use an action to make a DC 10
Strength check. On a successful check, the creature forces its
way out and appears within 5 feet of the <emphasis>portable
hole</emphasis> or the creature carrying it. A breathing
creature within a closed <emphasis>portable hole</emphasis> can
survive for up to 10 minutes, after which time it begins to
suffocate.
</para>
<para>
Placing a <emphasis>portable hole</emphasis> inside an
extradimensional space created by a <emphasis>bag of
holding</emphasis>, <emphasis>handy haversack</emphasis>, or
similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to
the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was
placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate
is sucked through it and deposited in a random location on the
Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and
can’t be reopened.

<section xml:id="rod-of-absorption">
<title>Rod of Absorption</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Rod, very rare (requires attunement)</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
While holding this rod, you can use your reaction to absorb a
spell that is targeting only you and not with an area of effect.
The absorbed spell’s effect is canceled, and the spell’s
energy-not the spell itself-is stored in the rod. The energy has
the same level as the spell when it was cast. The rod can absorb
and store up to 50 levels of energy over the course of its
existence. Once the rod absorbs 50 levels of energy, it can’t
absorb more. If you are targeted by a spell that the rod can’t
store, the rod has no effect on that spell.
</para>
<para>
When you become attuned to the rod, you know how many levels of
energy the rod has absorbed over the course of its existence,
and how many levels of spell energy it currently has stored.
</para>
<para>
If you are a spellcaster holding the rod, you can convert energy
stored in it into spell slots to cast spells you have prepared
or know. You can create spell slots only of a level equal to or
lower than your own spell slots, up to a maximum of 5th level.
You use the stored levels in place of your slots, but otherwise
cast the spell as normal. For example, you can use 3 levels
stored in the rod as a 3rd-level spell slot.
</para>
<para>
A newly found rod has 1d10 levels of spell energy stored in it
already. A rod that can no longer absorb spell energy and has no
energy remaining becomes nonmagical.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="rod-of-alertness">
<title>Rod of Alertness</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Rod, very rare (requires attunement)</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This rod has a flanged head and the following properties.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Alertness</emphasis></emphasis>.
While holding the rod, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception)
checks and on rolls for initiative.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Spells</emphasis></emphasis>.
While holding the rod, you can use an action to cast one of the
following spells from it: <emphasis>detect evil and
good</emphasis>, <emphasis>detect magic</emphasis>,
<emphasis>detect poison and disease</emphasis>, or <emphasis>see
invisibility.</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Protective
Aura</emphasis></emphasis>. As an action, you can plant the haft
end of the rod in the ground, whereupon the rod’s head sheds
bright light in a 60-foot radius and dim light for an additional
60 feet. While in that bright light, you and any creature that
is friendly to you gain a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws and
can sense the location of any invisible hostile creature that is
also in the bright light.
</para>
<para>
The rod’s head stops glowing and the effect ends after 10
minutes, or when a creature uses an action to pull the rod from
the ground. This property can’t be used again until the next
dawn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="rod-of-lordly-might">
<title>Rod of Lordly Might</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Rod, legendary (requires attunement)</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This rod has a flanged head, and it functions as a magic mace
that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.
The rod has properties associated with six different buttons
that are set in a row along the haft. It has three other
properties as well, detailed below.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Six
Buttons</emphasis></emphasis>. You can press one of the rod’s
six buttons as a bonus action. A button’s effect lasts until you
push a different button or until you push the same button again,
which causes the rod to revert to its normal form.
</para>
<para>
If you press <emphasis role="strong">button 1</emphasis>, the
rod becomes a <emphasis>flame tongue</emphasis>, as a fiery
blade sprouts from the end opposite the rod’s flanged head (you
choose the type of sword).
</para>
<para>
If you press <emphasis role="strong">button 2</emphasis>, the
rod’s flanged head folds down and two crescent-shaped blades
spring out, transforming the rod into a magic battleaxe that
grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.
</para>
<para>
If you press <emphasis role="strong">button 3</emphasis>, the
rod’s flanged head folds down, a spear point springs from the
rod’s tip, and the rod’s handle lengthens into a 6-foot haft,
transforming the rod into a magic spear that grants a +3 bonus
to attack and damage rolls made with it.
</para>
<para>
If you press <emphasis role="strong">button 4</emphasis>, the
rod transforms into a climbing pole up to 50 feet long, as you
specify. In surfaces as hard as granite, a spike at the bottom
and three hooks at the top anchor the pole. Horizontal bars 3
inches long fold out from the sides, 1 foot apart, forming a
ladder. The pole can bear up to 4,000 pounds. More weight or
lack of solid anchoring causes the rod to revert to its normal
form.
</para>
<para>
If you press <emphasis role="strong">button 5</emphasis>, the
rod transforms into a handheld battering ram and grants its user
a +10 bonus to Strength checks made to break through doors,
barricades, and other barriers.
</para>
<para>
If you press <emphasis role="strong">button 6</emphasis>, the
rod assumes or remains in its normal form and indicates magnetic
north. (Nothing happens if this function of the rod is used in a
location that has no magnetic north.) The rod also gives you
knowledge of your approximate depth beneath the ground or your
height above it.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Drain
Life</emphasis></emphasis>. When you hit a creature with a melee
attack using the rod, you can force the target to make a DC 17
Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target takes an
extra 4d6 necrotic damage, and you regain a number of hit points
equal to half that necrotic damage. This property can’t be used
again until the next dawn.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Paralyze</emphasis></emphasis>.
When you hit a creature with a melee attack using the rod, you
can force the target to make a DC 17 Strength saving throw. On a
failure, the target is paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can
repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending
the effect on a success. This property can’t be used again until
the next dawn.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Terrify</emphasis></emphasis>.
While holding the rod, you can use an action to force each
creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make a DC 17
Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a target is frightened of you
for 1 minute. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at
the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a
success. This property can’t be used again until the next dawn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="rod-of-rulership">
<title>Rod of Rulership</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Rod, rare (requires attunement)</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
You can use an action to present the rod and command obedience
from each creature of your choice that you can see within 120
feet of you. Each target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving
throw or be charmed by you for 8 hours. While charmed in this
way, the creature regards you as its trusted leader. If harmed
by you or your companions, or commanded to do something contrary
to its nature, a target ceases to be charmed in this way. The
rod can’t be used again until the next dawn.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="rod-of-security">
<title>Rod of Security</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Rod, very rare</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
While holding this rod, you can use an action to activate it.
The rod then instantly transports you and up to 199 other
willing creatures you can see to a paradise that exists in an
extraplanar space. You choose the form that the paradise takes.
It could be a tranquil garden, lovely glade, cheery tavern,
immense palace, tropical island, fantastic carnival, or whatever
else you can imagine. Regardless of its nature, the paradise
contains enough water and food to sustain its visitors.
Everything else that can be interacted with inside the
extraplanar space can exist only there. For example, a flower
picked from a garden in the paradise disappears if it is taken
outside the extraplanar space.
</para>
<para>
For each hour spent in the paradise, a visitor regains hit
points as if it had spent 1 Hit Die. Also, creatures don’t age
while in the paradise, although time passes normally. Visitors
can remain in the paradise for up to 200 days divided by the
number of creatures present (round down).
</para>
<para>
When the time runs out or you use an action to end it, all
visitors reappear in the location they occupied when you
activated the rod, or an unoccupied space nearest that location.
The rod can’t be used again until ten days have passed.

<section xml:id="rope-of-climbing">
<title>Rope of Climbing</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Wondrous item, uncommon</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This 60-foot length of silk rope weighs 3 pounds and can hold up
to 3,000 pounds. If you hold one end of the rope and use an
action to speak the command word, the rope animates. As a bonus
action, you can command the other end to move toward a
destination you choose. That end moves 10 feet on your turn when
you first command it and 10 feet on each of your turns until
reaching its destination, up to its maximum length away, or
until you tell it to stop. You can also tell the rope to fasten
itself securely to an object or to unfasten itself, to knot or
unknot itself, or to coil itself for carrying.
</para>
<para>
If you tell the rope to knot, large knots appear at 1-foot
intervals along the rope. While knotted, the rope shortens to a
50-foot length and grants advantage on checks made to climb it.
</para>
<para>
The rope has AC 20 and 20 hit points. It regains 1 hit point
every 5 minutes as long as it has at least 1 hit point. If the
rope drops to 0 hit points, it is destroyed.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="rope-of-entanglement">
<title>Rope of Entanglement</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Wondrous item, rare</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
This rope is 30 feet long and weighs 3 pounds. If you hold one
end of the rope and use an action to speak its command word, the
other end darts forward to entangle a creature you can see
within 20 feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 15
Dexterity saving throw or become restrained.
</para>
<para>
You can release the creature by using a bonus action to speak a
second command word. A target restrained by the rope can use an
action to make a DC 15 Strength or Dexterity check (target’s
choice). On a success, the creature is no longer restrained by
the rope.
</para>
<para>
The rope has AC 20 and 20 hit points. It regains 1 hit point
every 5 minutes as long as it has at least 1 hit point. If the
rope drops to 0 hit points, it is destroyed.

This shield is cursed. Attuning to it curses you until you are

A <emphasis>spell scroll</emphasis> bears the words of a single
spell, written in a mystical cipher. If the spell is on your
class’s spell list, you can use an action to read the scroll and
cast its spell without having to provide any of the spell’s
components. Otherwise, the scroll is unintelligible.
</para>
<para>
If the spell is on your class’s spell list but of a higher level
than you can normally cast, you must make an ability check using
your spellcasting ability to determine whether you cast it
successfully. The DC equals 10+the spell’s level. On a failed
check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no other
effect. Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade,
and the scroll itself crumbles to dust.

This 2-foot diameter black sphere is a hole in the multiverse,
hovering in space and stabilized by a magical field surrounding
it.
</para>
<para>
The sphere obliterates all matter it passes through and all
matter that passes through it. Artifacts are the exception.
Unless an artifact is susceptible to damage from a

The sphere is stationary until someone controls it. If you are

of feet equal to 5 × your Intelligence modifier (minimum 5

Some magic items possess sentience and personality. Such an item
might be possessed, haunted by the spirit of a previous owner, or
self-aware thanks to the magic used to create it. In any case, the
item behaves like a character, complete with personality quirks,
ideals, bonds, and sometimes flaws. A sentient item might be a

Most sentient items are weapons. Other kinds of items can manifest

Sentient magic items function as NPCs under the GM’s control. Any
activated property of the item is under the item’s control, not
its wielder’s. As long as the wielder maintains a good

properties normally. If the relationship is strained, the item can

<title>Conflict</title>
<para>
A sentient item has a will of its own, shaped by its
personality and alignment. If its wielder acts in a manner
opposed to the item’s alignment or purpose, conflict can
arise. When such a conflict occurs, the item makes a Charisma
check contested by the wielder’s Charisma check. If the item
wins the contest, it makes one or more of the following
demands:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing="compact">
<listitem>
<para>
The item insists on being carried or worn at all times.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>

item finds repugnant.

to the exclusion of all other goals.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The item demands to be given to someone else. If its
wielder refuses to comply with the item’s wishes, the item
can do any or all of the following:
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Make it impossible for its wielder to attune to it.

<listitem>
<para>
Attempt to take control of its wielder.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
If a sentient item attempts to take control of its wielder,
the wielder must make a Charisma saving throw, with a DC equal
to 12+the item’s Charisma modifier. On a failed save, the
wielder is charmed by the item for 1d12 hours. While charmed,
the wielder must try to follow the item’s commands. If the
wielder takes damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending
the effect on a success. Whether the attempt to control its
user succeeds or fails, the item can’t use this power again
until the next dawn.

<title>Orb of Dragonkind</title>
<para>
<emphasis>Wondrous item, artifact (requires
attunement)</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
Ages past, elves and humans waged a terrible war against evil
dragons. When the world seemed doomed, powerful wizards came
together and worked their greatest magic, forging five
<emphasis>Orbs of Dragonkind</emphasis> (or <emphasis>Dragon
Orbs</emphasis>) to help them defeat the dragons. One orb was
taken to each of the five wizard towers, and there they were
used to speed the war toward a victorious end. The wizards used
the orbs to lure dragons to them, then destroyed the dragons
with powerful magic.
</para>
<para>
As the wizard towers fell in later ages, the orbs were destroyed
or faded into legend, and only three are thought to survive.
Their magic has been warped and twisted over the centuries, so
although their primary purpose of calling dragons still
functions, they also allow some measure of control over dragons.
</para>
<para>
Each orb contains the essence of an evil dragon, a presence that
resents any attempt to coax magic from it. Those lacking in
force of personality might find themselves enslaved to an orb.
</para>
<para>
An orb is an etched crystal globe about 10 inches in diameter.
When used, it grows to about 20 inches in diameter, and mist
swirls inside it.
</para>
<para>
While attuned to an orb, you can use an action to peer into the
orb’s depths and speak its command word. You must then make a DC
15 Charisma check. On a successful check, you control the orb
for as long as you remain attuned to it. On a failed check, you
become charmed by the orb for as long as you remain attuned to
it.
</para>
<para>
While you are charmed by the orb, you can’t voluntarily end your
attunement to it, and the orb casts
<emphasis>suggestion</emphasis> on you at will (save DC 18),
urging you to work toward the evil ends it desires. The dragon
essence within the orb might want many things: the annihilation
of a particular people, freedom from the orb, to spread
suffering in the world, to advance the worship of Tiamat, or
something else the GM decides.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Random
Properties</emphasis></emphasis>. An <emphasis>Orb of
Dragonkind</emphasis> has the following random properties:
</para>
<itemizedlist spacing="compact">

<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Spells</emphasis></emphasis>.
The orb has 7 charges and regains 1d4+3 expended charges daily
at dawn. If you control the orb, you can use an action and
expend 1 or more charges to cast one of the following spells
(save DC 18) from it: <emphasis>cure wounds</emphasis>
(5th-level version, 3 charges), <emphasis>daylight</emphasis> (1
charge), <emphasis>death ward</emphasis> (2 charges), or
<emphasis>scrying</emphasis> (3 charges).
</para>
<para>
You can also use an action to cast the <emphasis>detect
magic</emphasis> spell from the orb without using any charges.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Call
Dragons</emphasis></emphasis>. While you control the orb, you
can use an action to cause the artifact to issue a telepathic
call that extends in all directions for 40 miles. Evil dragons
in range feel compelled to come to the orb as soon as possible
by the most direct route. Dragon deities such as Tiamat are
unaffected by this call. Dragons drawn to the orb might be
hostile toward you for compelling them against their will. Once
you have used this property, it can’t be used again for 1 hour.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Destroying an
Orb</emphasis></emphasis>. An <emphasis>Orb of
Dragonkind</emphasis> appears fragile but is impervious to most

+3 magic weapon is sufficient to destroy an orb, however.

<title>Monster Statistics</title>
<section xml:id="type">
<title>Type</title>
<para>
A monster’s type speaks to its fundamental nature. Certain
spells, magic items, class features, and other effects in the
game interact in special ways with creatures of a particular
type. For example, an <emphasis>arrow of dragon
slaying</emphasis> deals extra damage not only to dragons but
also other creatures of the dragon type, such as dragon turtles
and wyverns.
</para>
<para>
The game includes the following monster types, which have no
rules of their own.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Aberrations</emphasis> are utterly alien
beings. Many of them have innate magical abilities drawn from
the creature’s alien mind rather than the mystical forces of the
world. The quintessential aberrations are aboleths, beholders,
mind flayers, and slaadi.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Beasts</emphasis> are nonhumanoid
creatures that are a natural part of the fantasy ecology. Some
of them have magical powers, but most are unintelligent and lack
any society or language. Beasts include all varieties of
ordinary animals, dinosaurs, and giant versions of animals.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Celestials</emphasis> are creatures
native to the Upper Planes. Many of them are the servants of
deities, employed as messengers or agents in the mortal realm
and throughout the planes. Celestials are good by nature, so the
exceptional celestial who strays from a good alignment is a
horrifying rarity. Celestials include angels, couatls, and
pegasi.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Constructs</emphasis> are made, not
born. Some are programmed by their creators to follow a simple
set of instructions, while others are imbued with sentience and
capable of independent thought. Golems are the iconic
constructs. Many creatures native to the outer plane of
Mechanus, such as modrons, are constructs shaped from the raw
material of the plane by the will of more powerful creatures.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Dragons</emphasis> are large reptilian
creatures of ancient origin and tremendous power. True dragons,
including the good metallic dragons and the evil chromatic
dragons, are highly intelligent and have innate magic. Also in
this category are creatures distantly related to true dragons,
but less powerful, less intelligent, and less magical, such as
wyverns and pseudodragons.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Elementals</emphasis> are creatures
native to the elemental planes. Some creatures of this type are
little more than animate masses of their respective elements,
including the creatures simply called elementals. Others have
biological forms infused with elemental energy. The races of
genies, including djinn and efreet, form the most important
civilizations on the elemental planes. Other elemental creatures
include azers, invisible stalkers, and water weirds.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Fey</emphasis> are magical creatures
closely tied to the forces of nature. They dwell in twilight
groves and misty forests. In some worlds, they are closely tied
to the Feywild, also called the Plane of Faerie. Some are also
found in the Outer Planes, particularly the planes of Arborea
and the Beastlands. Fey include dryads, pixies, and satyrs.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Fiends</emphasis> are creatures of
wickedness that are native to the Lower Planes. A few are the
servants of deities, but many more labor under the leadership of
archdevils and demon princes. Evil priests and mages sometimes
summon fiends to the material world to do their bidding. If an
evil celestial is a rarity, a good fiend is almost
inconceivable. Fiends include demons, devils, hell hounds,
rakshasas, and yugoloths.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Giants</emphasis> tower over humans and
their kind. They are humanlike in shape, though some have
multiple heads (ettins) or deformities (fomorians). The six
varieties of true giant are hill giants, stone giants, frost
giants, fire giants, cloud giants, and storm giants. Besides
these, creatures such as ogres and trolls are giants.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Humanoids</emphasis> are the main
peoples of a fantasy gaming world, both civilized and savage,
including humans and a tremendous variety of other species. They
have language and culture, few if any innate magical abilities
(though most humanoids can learn spellcasting), and a bipedal
form. The most common humanoid races are the ones most suitable
as player characters: humans, dwarves, elves, and halflings.
Almost as numerous but far more savage and brutal, and almost
uniformly evil, are the races of goblinoids (goblins,
hobgoblins, and bugbears), orcs, gnolls, lizardfolk, and
kobolds.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Monstrosities</emphasis> are monsters in
the strictest sense-frightening creatures that are not ordinary,
not truly natural, and almost never benign. Some are the results
of magical experimentation gone awry (such as owlbears), and
others are the product of terrible curses (including minotaurs
and yuan-ti). They defy categorization, and in some sense serve
as a catch-all category for creatures that don’t fit into any
other type.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Oozes</emphasis> are gelatinous
creatures that rarely have a fixed shape. They are mostly
subterranean, dwelling in caves and dungeons and feeding on
refuse, carrion, or creatures unlucky enough to get in their
way. Black puddings and gelatinous cubes are among the most
recognizable oozes.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Plants</emphasis> in this context are
vegetable creatures, not ordinary flora. Most of them are
ambulatory, and some are carnivorous. The quintessential plants
are the shambling mound and the treant. Fungal creatures such as
the gas spore and the myconid also fall into this category.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong">Undead</emphasis> are once-living
creatures brought to a horrifying state of undeath through the
practice of necromantic magic or some unholy curse. Undead
include walking corpses, such as vampires and zombies, as well
as bodiless spirits, such as ghosts and specters.
</para>
<section xml:id="tags">
<title>Tags</title>
<para>
A monster might have one or more tags appended to its type, in
parentheses. For example, an orc has the <emphasis>humanoid
(orc)</emphasis> type. The parenthetical tags provide
additional categorization for certain creatures. The tags have
no rules of their own, but something in the game, such as a
magic item, might refer to them. For instance, a spear that is
especially effective at fighting demons would work against any
monster that has the demon tag.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="alignment-3">
<title>Alignment</title>
<para>
A monster’s alignment provides a clue to its disposition and how
it behaves in a roleplaying or combat situation. For example, a
chaotic evil monster might be difficult to reason with and might
attack characters on sight, whereas a neutral monster might be
willing to negotiate. See the <emphasis>Player’s
Handbook</emphasis> for descriptions of the different
alignments.
</para>
<para>
The alignment specified in a monster’s stat block is the
default. Feel free to depart from it and change a monster’s
alignment to suit the needs of your campaign. If you want a
good-aligned green dragon or an evil storm giant, there’s
nothing stopping you.
</para>
<para>
Some creatures can have <emphasis role="strong">any
alignment</emphasis>. In other words, you choose the monster’s
alignment. Some monster’s alignment entry indicates a tendency
or aversion toward law, chaos, good, or evil. For example, a
berserker can be any chaotic alignment (chaotic good, chaotic
neutral, or chaotic evil), as befits its wild nature.
</para>
<para>
Many creatures of low intelligence have no comprehension of law
or chaos, good or evil. They don’t make moral or ethical
choices, but rather act on instinct. These creatures are
<emphasis role="strong">unaligned</emphasis>, which means they
don’t have an alignment.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="armor-class-1">
<title>Armor Class</title>
<para>
A monster that wears armor or carries a shield has an Armor
Class (AC) that takes its armor, shield, and Dexterity into
account. Otherwise, a monster’s AC is based on its Dexterity
modifier and natural armor, if any. If a monster has natural
armor, wears armor, or carries a shield, this is noted in
parentheses after its AC value.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="hit-points-14">
<title>Hit Points</title>
<para>
A monster usually dies or is destroyed when it drops to 0 hit
points. For more on hit points, see the <emphasis>Player’s
Handbook</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
A monster’s hit points are presented both as a die expression
and as an average number. For example, a monster with 2d8 hit
points has 9 hit points on average (2 × 4½).
</para>
<para>
A monster’s size determines the die used to calculate its hit
points, as shown in the Hit Dice by Size table.

<para>
A monster’s Constitution modifier also affects the number of hit
points it has. Its Constitution modifier is multiplied by the
number of Hit Dice it possesses, and the result is added to its
hit points. For example, if a monster has a Constitution of 12
(+1 modifier) and 2d8 Hit Dice, it has 2d8+2 hit points (average
11).
</para>

<para>
All creatures have a walking speed, simply called the monster’s
speed. Creatures that have no form of ground-based locomotion
have a walking speed of 0 feet.
</para>
<para>
Some creatures have one or more of the following additional
movement modes.
</para>
<section xml:id="burrow">

it to do so.
</para>

<title>Saving Throws</title>
<para>
The Saving Throws entry is reserved for creatures that are adept

that isn’t easily charmed or frightened might gain a bonus on
its Wisdom saving throws. Most creatures don’t have special
saving throw bonuses, in which case this section is absent.

The Skills entry is reserved for monsters that are proficient in
one or more skills. For example, a monster that is very
perceptive and stealthy might have bonuses to Wisdom
(Perception) and Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
</para>
<para>
A skill bonus is the sum of a monster’s relevant ability
modifier and its proficiency bonus, which is determined by the
monster’s challenge rating (as shown in the Proficiency Bonus by
Challenge Rating table). Other modifiers might apply. For
instance, a monster might have a larger-than-expected bonus
(usually double its proficiency bonus) to account for its
heightened expertise.

<para>
A monster with blindsight can perceive its surroundings
without relying on sight, within a specific radius.

Creatures without eyes, such as grimlocks and gray oozes,
typically have this special sense, as do creatures with
echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and true

monster and the source of the vibrations are in contact with
the same ground or substance. Tremorsense can’t be used to
detect flying or incorporeal creatures. Many burrowing
creatures, such as ankhegs and umber hulks, have this special
sense.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="truesight-1">
<title>Truesight</title>
<para>
A monster with truesight can, out to a specific range, see in
normal and magical darkness, see invisible creatures and
objects, automatically detect visual illusions and succeed on
saving throws against them, and perceive the original form of
a shapechanger or a creature that is transformed by magic.
Furthermore, the monster can see into the Ethereal Plane
within the same range.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="languages-3">
<title>Languages</title>
<para>
The languages that a monster can speak are listed in
alphabetical order. Sometimes a monster can understand a
language but can’t speak it, and this is noted in its entry. A
<quote>-</quote> indicates that a creature neither speaks nor
understands any language.
</para>
<section xml:id="telepathy">
<title>Telepathy</title>
<para>
Telepathy is a magical ability that allows a monster to
communicate mentally with another creature within a specified
range. The contacted creature doesn’t need to share a language
with the monster to communicate in this way with it, but it
must be able to understand at least one language. A creature
without telepathy can receive and respond to telepathic
messages but can’t initiate or terminate a telepathic
conversation.
</para>
<para>
A telepathic monster doesn’t need to see a contacted creature
and can end the telepathic contact at any time. The contact is
broken as soon as the two creatures are no longer within range
of each other or if the telepathic monster contacts a
different creature within range. A telepathic monster can
initiate or terminate a telepathic conversation without using
an action, but while the monster is incapacitated, it can’t
initiate telepathic contact, and any current contact is
terminated.
</para>
<para>
A creature within the area of an <emphasis>antimagic
field</emphasis> or in any other location where magic doesn’t
function can’t send or receive telepathic messages.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="challenge">
<title>Challenge</title>
<para>
A monster’s <emphasis role="strong">Challenge rating</emphasis>
tells you how great a threat the monster is. An appropriately
equipped and well-rested party of four adventurers should be
able to defeat a monster that has a challenge rating equal to
its level without suffering any deaths. For example, a party of
four 3rd-level characters should find a monster with a challenge
rating of 3 to be a worthy challenge, but not a deadly one.
</para>
<para>
Monsters that are significantly weaker than 1st- level
characters have a challenge rating lower than 1. Monsters with a
challenge rating of 0 are insignificant except in large numbers;
those with no effective attacks are worth no experience points,
while those that have attacks are worth 10 XP each.
</para>
<para>
Some monsters present a greater challenge than even a typical
20th-level party can handle. These monsters have a challenge
rating of 21 or higher and are specifically designed to test
player skill.
</para>
<section xml:id="experience-points-1">
<title>Experience Points</title>
<para>
The number of experience points (XP) a monster is worth is
based on its challenge rating. Typically, XP is awarded for
defeating the monster, although the GM may also award XP for
neutralizing the threat posed by the monster in some other
manner.
</para>
<para>
Unless something tells you otherwise, a monster summoned by a
spell or other magical ability is worth the XP noted in its
stat block.

<section xml:id="special-traits">
<title>Special Traits</title>
<para>
Special traits (which appear after a monster’s challenge rating
but before any actions or reactions) are characteristics that
are likely to be relevant in a combat encounter and that require
some explanation.
</para>
<section xml:id="innate-spellcasting">
<title>Innate Spellcasting</title>
<para>
A monster with the innate ability to cast spells has the
Innate Spellcasting special trait. Unless noted otherwise, an
innate spell of 1st level or higher is always cast at its
lowest possible level and can’t be cast at a higher level. If
a monster has a cantrip where its level matters and no level
is given, use the monster’s challenge rating.
</para>
<para>
An innate spell can have special rules or restrictions. For
example, a drow mage can innately cast the
<emphasis>levitate</emphasis> spell, but the spell has a
<quote>self only</quote> restriction, which means that the
spell affects only the drow mage.
</para>
<para>
A monster’s innate spells can’t be swapped out with other
spells. If a monster’s innate spells don’t require attack
rolls, no attack bonus is given for them.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="spellcasting-9">
<title>Spellcasting</title>
<para>
A monster with the Spellcasting special trait has a
spellcaster level and spell slots, which it uses to cast its
spells of 1st level and higher (as explained in the
<emphasis>Player’s Handbook</emphasis>). The spellcaster level
is also used for any cantrips included in the feature.
</para>
<para>
The monster has a list of spells known or prepared from a
specific class. The list might also include spells from a
feature in that class, such as the Divine Domain feature of
the cleric or the Druid Circle feature of the druid. The
monster is considered a member of that class when attuning to
or using a magic item that requires membership in the class or
access to its spell list.
</para>
<para>
A monster can cast a spell from its list at a higher level if
it has the spell slot to do so. For example, a drow mage with
the 3rd-level <emphasis>lightning bolt</emphasis> spell can
cast it as a 5th-level spell by using one of its 5th-level
greater or lesser threat than suggested by its challenge
rating.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="psionics">
<title>Psionics</title>
<para>
A monster that casts spells using only the power of its mind
has the psionics tag added to its Spellcasting or Innate
Spellcasting special trait. This tag carries no special rules
of its own, but other parts of the game might refer to it. A
monster that has this tag typically doesn’t require any
components to cast its spells.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="actions-1">
<title>Actions</title>
<para>
When a monster takes its action, it can choose from the options
in the Actions section of its stat block or use one of the
actions available to all creatures, such as the Dash or Hide
action, as described in the <emphasis>Player’s
Handbook</emphasis>.
</para>
<section xml:id="melee-and-ranged-attacks">
<title>Melee and Ranged Attacks</title>
<para>
The most common actions that a monster will take in combat are
melee and ranged attacks. These can be spell attacks or weapon
attacks, where the <quote>weapon</quote> might be a
manufactured item or a natural weapon, such as a claw or tail
spike. For more information on different kinds of attacks, see
the <emphasis>Player’s Handbook</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Creature vs
Target</emphasis></emphasis>. The target of a melee or ranged
attack is usually either one creature or one target, the
difference being that a <quote>target</quote> can be a
creature or an object.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Hit</emphasis></emphasis>.
Any damage dealt or other effects that occur as a result of an
attack hitting a target are described after the
<quote>Hit</quote> notation. You have the option of taking
average damage or rolling the damage; for this reason, both
the average damage and the die expression are presented.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Miss</emphasis></emphasis>.
If an attack has an effect that occurs on a miss, that
information is presented after the <quote>Miss:</quote>
notation.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Grapple Rules for
Monsters</emphasis></emphasis>
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>Many monsters have special attacks that allow them
to quickly grapple prey. When a monster hits with such an
attack, it doesn’t need to make an additional ability check to
determine whether the grapple succeeds, unless the attack says
otherwise.</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
<emphasis>A creature grappled by the monster can use its
action to try to escape. To do so, it must succeed on a
Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against
the escape DC in the monster’s stat block. If no escape DC is
given, assume the DC is 10+the monster’s Strength (Athletics)
modifier.</emphasis>
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="multiattack-1">
<title>Multiattack</title>
<para>
A creature that can make multiple attacks on its turn has the
Multiattack action. A creature can’t use Multiattack when
making an opportunity attack, which must be a single melee
attack.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ammunition">
<title>Ammunition</title>
<para>
A monster carries enough ammunition to make its ranged
attacks. You can assume that a monster has 2d4 pieces of
ammunition for a thrown weapon attack, and 2d10 pieces of
ammunition for a projectile weapon such as a bow or crossbow.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="reactions-2">
<title>Reactions</title>
<para>
If a monster can do something special with its reaction, that
information is contained here. If a creature has no special
reaction, this section is absent.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="limited-usage">
<title>Limited Usage</title>
<para>
Some special abilities have restrictions on the number of times
they can be used.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>X/Day</emphasis></emphasis>.
The notation <quote>X/Day</quote> means a special ability can be
used X number of times and that a monster must finish a long
rest to regain expended uses. For example, <quote>1/Day</quote>
means a special ability can be used once and that the monster
must finish a long rest to use it again.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Recharge
X-Y</emphasis></emphasis>. The notation <quote>Recharge
X-Y</quote> means a monster can use a special ability once and
that the ability then has a random chance of recharging during
each subsequent round of combat. At the start of each of the
monster’s turns, roll a d6. If the roll is one of the numbers in
the recharge notation, the monster regains the use of the
special ability. The ability also recharges when the monster
finishes a short or long rest.
</para>
<para>
For example, <quote>Recharge 5-6</quote> means a monster can use
the special ability once. Then, at the start of the monster’s
turn, it regains the use of that ability if it rolls a 5 or 6 on
a d6.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Recharge after a Short or Long
Rest</emphasis></emphasis>. This notation means that a monster
can use a special ability once and then must finish a short or
long rest to use it again.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="equipment-14">
<title>Equipment</title>
<para>
A stat block rarely refers to equipment, other than armor or
weapons used by a monster. A creature that customarily wears
clothes, such as a humanoid, is assumed to be dressed
appropriately.
</para>
<para>
You can equip monsters with additional gear and trinkets however
you like, and you decide how much of a monster’s equipment is
recoverable after the creature is slain and whether any of that
equipment is still usable. A battered suit of armor made for a
monster is rarely usable by someone else, for instance.
</para>
<para>
If a spellcasting monster needs material components to cast its
spells, assume that it has the material components it needs to
cast the spells in its stat block.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="legendary-creatures">
<title>Legendary Creatures</title>
<para>
A legendary creature can do things that ordinary creatures can’t.
It can take special actions outside its turn, and it might exert
magical influence for miles around.
</para>
<para>
If a creature assumes the form of a legendary creature, such as
through a spell, it doesn’t gain that form’s legendary actions,
lair actions, or regional effects.
</para>
<section xml:id="legendary-actions">
<title>Legendary Actions</title>
<para>
A legendary creature can take a certain number of special
actions-called legendary actions-outside its turn. Only one
legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the
end of another creature’s turn. A creature regains its spent
legendary actions at the start of its turn. It can forgo using
them, and it can’t use them while incapacitated or otherwise
unable to take actions. If surprised, it can’t use them until
after its first turn in the combat.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="a-legendary-creatures-lair">
<title>A Legendary Creature’s Lair</title>
<para>
A legendary creature might have a section describing its lair
and the special effects it can create while there, either by act
of will or simply by being present. Such a section applies only
to a legendary creature that spends a great deal of time in its
lair.
</para>
<section xml:id="lair-actions">
<title>Lair Actions</title>
<para>
If a legendary creature has lair actions, it can use them to
harness the ambient magic in its lair. On initiative count 20
(losing all initiative ties), it can use one of its lair
action options. It can’t do so while incapacitated or
otherwise unable to take actions. If surprised, it can’t use
one until after its first turn in the combat.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="regional-effects">
<title>Regional Effects</title>

The mere presence of a legendary creature can have strange and
wondrous effects on its environment, as noted in this section.
Regional effects end abruptly or dissipate over time when the

In a new form, the deva retains its game statistics and
ability to speak, but its AC, movement modes, Strength,
Dexterity, and special senses are replaced by those of the
new form, and it gains any statistics and capabilities
(except class features, legendary actions, and lair actions)
that the new form has but that it lacks.

<emphasis role="strong">Petrifying Gaze</emphasis>. If a
creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the basilisk and the
two of them can see each other, the basilisk can force the
creature to make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw if the
basilisk isn’t incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature
magically begins to turn to stone and is restrained. It must
repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a
success, the effect ends. On a failure, the creature is
petrified until freed by the <emphasis>greater
restoration</emphasis> spell or other magic.
</para>
<para>
A creature that isn’t surprised can avert its eyes to avoid the
saving throw at the start of its turn. If it does so, it can’t
see the basilisk until the start of its next turn, when it can
avert its eyes again. If it looks at the basilisk in the
meantime, it must immediately make the save.
</para>
<para>
If the basilisk sees its reflection within 30 feet of it in
bright light, it mistakes itself for a rival and targets itself
with its gaze.

isn’t already constricting a creature, and the target is

</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Lightning Breath (Recharge

lightning that is 20 feet long and 5 feet wide. Each creature

66 (12d10) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.

<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Swallow</emphasis></emphasis>.
The behir makes one bite attack against a Medium or smaller
target it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target is also
swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the target
is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks
and other effects outside the behir, and it takes 21 (6d6)
acid damage at the start of each of the behir’s turns. A behir
can have only one creature swallowed at a time.
</para>
<para>
If the behir takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from the
swallowed creature, the behir must succeed on a DC 14
Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or
regurgitate the creature, which falls prone in a space within
10 feet of the behir. If the behir dies, a swallowed creature
is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse
by using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.

magically creates three illusory duplicates of itself if it
isn’t in bright light. The duplicates move with it and mimic
its actions, shifting position so as to make it impossible to
track which cloaker is the real one. If the cloaker is ever in
an area of bright light, the duplicates disappear.
</para>
<para>
Whenever any creature targets the cloaker with an attack or a
harmful spell while a duplicate remains, that creature rolls
randomly to determine whether it targets the cloaker or one of
the duplicates. A creature is unaffected by this magical
effect if it can’t see or if it relies on senses other than
sight.
</para>
<para>
A duplicate has the cloaker’s AC and uses its saving throws.
If an attack hits a duplicate, or if a duplicate fails a
saving throw against an effect that deals damage, the
duplicate disappears.

<emphasis>Melee Weapon Attack:</emphasis> +8 to hit, reach

Each animated chain is an object with AC 20, 20 hit points,
resistance to piercing damage, and immunity to psychic and
thunder damage. When the devil uses Multiattack on its turn,
it can use each animated chain to make one additional chain
attack. An animated chain can grapple one creature of its
own but can’t make attacks while grappling. An animated
chain reverts to its inanimate state if reduced to 0 hit
points or if the devil is incapacitated or dies.

a target takes 15 (3d8+2) bludgeoning damage and is flung up
20 feet away from the elemental in a random direction and
knocked prone. If a thrown target strikes an object, such as
a wall or floor, the target takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage
for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at
another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 13
Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be
knocked prone.

If the saving throw is successful, the target takes half the
bludgeoning damage and isn’t flung away or knocked prone.

The ghost now controls the body but doesn’t deprive the target
of awareness. The ghost can’t be targeted by any attack,
spell, or other effect, except ones that turn undead, and it
retains its alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and
immunity to being charmed and frightened. It otherwise uses
the possessed target’s statistics, but doesn’t gain access to
the target’s knowledge, class features, or proficiencies.

The possession lasts until the body drops to 0 hit points, the
ghost ends it as a bonus action, or the ghost is turned or
forced out by an effect like the <emphasis>dispel evil and

reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the body.
The target is immune to this ghost’s Possession for 24 hours
after succeeding on the saving throw or after the possession
ends.

Gaze</emphasis></emphasis>. When a creature that can see the
medusa’s eyes starts its turn within 30 feet of the medusa, the
medusa can force it to make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw if
the medusa isn’t incapacitated and can see the creature. If the
saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is instantly
petrified. Otherwise, a creature that fails the save begins to
turn to stone and is restrained. The restrained creature must
repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming
petrified on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The
petrification lasts until the creature is freed by the
<emphasis>greater restoration</emphasis> spell or other magic.
</para>
<para>
Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the
saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so,
it can’t see the medusa until the start of its next turn, when
it can avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the medusa
in the meantime, it must immediately make the save.

If the medusa sees itself reflected on a polished surface within

The remorhaz makes one bite attack against a Medium or smaller
creature it is grappling. If the attack hits, that creature
takes the bite’s damage and is swallowed, and the grapple
ends. While swallowed, the creature is blinded and restrained,
it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside
the remorhaz, and it takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start
of each of the remorhaz’s turns.
</para>
<para>
If the remorhaz takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from
a creature inside it, the remorhaz must succeed on a DC 15
Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or
regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a
space within 10 feet of the remorhaz. If the remorhaz dies, a
swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can
escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting
prone.

If the vampire isn’t in sunlight or running water, it can use
its action to polymorph into a Tiny bat or a Medium cloud of
mist, or back into its true form.
</para>
<para>
While in bat form, the vampire can’t speak, its walking speed
is 5 feet, and it has a flying speed of 30 feet. Its
statistics, other than its size and speed, are unchanged.
Anything it is wearing transforms with it, but nothing it is
carrying does. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
</para>
<para>
While in mist form, the vampire can’t take any actions, speak,
or manipulate objects. It is weightless, has a flying speed of
20 feet, can hover, and can enter a hostile creature’s space
and stop there. In addition, if air can pass through a space,
the mist can do so without squeezing, and it can’t pass
through water. It has advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and
Constitution saving throws, and it is immune to all nonmagical
damage, except the damage it takes from sunlight.

of mist (as in the Shapechanger trait) instead of falling
unconscious, provided that it isn’t in sunlight or running
water. If it can’t transform, it is destroyed.
</para>
<para>
While it has 0 hit points in mist form, it can’t revert to its
vampire form, and it must reach its resting place within 2
hours or be destroyed. Once in its resting place, it reverts
to its vampire form. It is then paralyzed until it regains at
least 1 hit point. After spending 1 hour in its resting place
with 0 hit points, it regains 1 hit point.

The vampire regains 20 hit points at the start of its turn if

The vampire targets one humanoid it can see within 30 feet

be charmed by the vampire. The charmed target regards the
vampire as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected.
Although the target isn’t under the vampire’s control, it
takes the vampire’s requests or actions in the most
favorable way it can, and it is a willing target for the
vampire’s bite attack.
</para>
<para>
Each time the vampire or the vampire’s companions do
anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving
throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise,
the effect lasts 24 hours or until the vampire is destroyed,
is on a different plane of existence than the target, or
takes a bonus action to end the effect.

The majestic <emphasis role="strong">giant elk</emphasis> is
rare to the point that its appearance is often taken as a
foreshadowing of an important event, such as the birth of a
king. Legends tell of gods that take the form of giant elk
when visiting the Material Plane. Many cultures therefore
believe that to hunt these creatures is to invite divine
wrath.

wilderness or are raised by goblins and hobgoblins. Those
creatures use worgs as mounts, but a worg will turn on its
rider if it feels mistreated or malnourished. Worgs speak in
their own language and Goblin, and a few learn to speak Common
as well.

<title><quote>Non-Player Characters</quote></title>

This section contains statistics for various humanoid non-player
characters (NPCs) that adventurers might encounter during a
campaign, including lowly commoners and mighty archmages. These
stat blocks can be used to represent both human and nonhuman NPCs.

<section xml:id="customizing-npcs">
<title>Customizing NPCs</title>
<para>
There are many easy ways to customize the NPCs in this appendix
for your home campaign.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Racial
Traits</emphasis></emphasis>. You can add racial traits to an NPC.
For example, a halfling druid might have a speed of 25 feet and
the Lucky trait. Adding racial traits to an NPC doesn’t alter its
challenge rating. For more on racial traits, see the
<emphasis>Player’s Handbook</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Spell
Swaps</emphasis></emphasis>. One way to customize an NPC
spellcaster is to replace one or more of its spells. You can
substitute any spell on the NPC’s spell list with a different
spell of the same level from the same spell list. Swapping spells
in this manner doesn’t alter an NPC’s challenge rating.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Armor and Weapon
Swaps</emphasis></emphasis>. You can upgrade or downgrade an NPC’s
armor, or add or switch weapons. Adjustments to Armor Class and
damage can change an NPC’s challenge rating.
</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="strong"><emphasis>Magic
Items</emphasis></emphasis>. The more powerful an NPC, the more
likely it has one or more magic items in its possession. An
archmage, for example, might have a magic staff or wand, as well
as one or more potions and scrolls. Giving an NPC a potent
damage-dealing magic item could alter its challenge rating.
