+# Playing the Game
+
+## Rhythm of Play
+
+The three main pillars of D&D play are social interaction, exploration, and combat. Whichever one you’re experiencing, the game unfolds according to this basic pattern:
+
+1. **The Game Master Describes a Scene.**  The GM tells the players where their adventurers are and what’s around them (how many doors lead out of a room, what’s on a table, and so on).
+
+2. **The Players Describe What Their Characters Do.** Typically, the characters stick together as they travel through a dungeon or another environment. Sometimes different adventurers do different things: one adventurer might search a treasure chest while a second examines a mysterious symbol engraved on a wall and a third keeps watch for monsters. Outside combat, the GM ensures that every character has a chance to act and decides how to resolve their activity. In combat, the characters take turns.
+
+3. **The GM Narrates the Results of the Adventurers’ Actions.** Sometimes resolving a task is easy. If an adventurer walks across a room and tries to open a door, the GM might say the door opens and describe what lies beyond. But the door might be locked, the floor might hide a trap, or some other circumstance might make it challenging for an adventurer to complete a task. In those cases, the GM might ask the player to roll a die to help determine what happens. Describing the results often leads to another decision point, which brings the game back to step 1.
+
+This pattern holds during every game session (each time you sit down to play D&D), whether the  adventurers are talking to a noble, exploring a ruin, or fighting a dragon. In certain situations—particularly combat—the action is more structured, and everyone takes turns.
+
+> **Exceptions Supersede General Rules**
+> 
+> General rules govern each part of the game. For example, the combat rules tell you that melee attacks use Strength and ranged attacks use Dexterity. That’s a general rule, and a general rule is in effect as long as something in the game doesn’t explicitly say otherwise.
+>
+> The game also includes elements—class features, feats, weapon properties, spells, magic items, monster abilities, and the like—that sometimes contradict a general rule. When an exception and a general rule disagree, the exception wins. For example, if a feature says you can make melee attacks using your Charisma, you can do so, even though that statement disagrees with the general rule.
+
+## The Six Abilities
+
+All creatures — characters and monsters—have six abilities that measure physical and mental characteristics, as shown on the Ability Descriptions table.
+
+Table: Ability Descriptions
+
+| Ability      | Score Measures …                    |
+|--------------|-------------------------------------|
+| Strength     | Physical might                      |
+| Dexterity    | Agility, reflexes, and balance      |
+| Constitution | Health and stamina                  |
+| Intelligence | Reasoning and memory                |
+| Wisdom       | Perceptiveness and mental fortitude |
+| Charisma     | Confidence, poise, and charm        |
+
+### Ability Scores
+
+Each ability has a score from 1 to 20, although some
+monsters have a score as high as 30. The score
+represents the magnitude of an ability. The Ability
+Scores table summarizes what the scores mean.
+
+Table: Ability Scores
+
+| Score | Meaning                                      | 
+|-------|----------------------------------------------|
+| 1     | This is the lowest a score can normally go. If an effect reduces a score to 0, that effect explains what happens. |
+| 2–9   | This represents a weak capability.           |
+| 10–11 | This represents the human average.           |
+| 12–19 | This represents a strong capability.         |
+| 20    | This is the highest an adventurer’s score can go unless a feature says otherwise. |
+| 21–29 | This represents an extraordinary capability. |
+| 30    | This is the highest a score can go.          |
+
+### Ability Modifiers
+
+Each ability has a modifier that you apply whenever you make a D20 Test with that ability (explained in “D20 Tests”). An ability modifier is derived from its score, as shown in the Ability Modifiers table.
+
+> **Round Down**
+> Whenever you divide or multiply a number in the game, round down if you end up with a fraction, even if the fraction is one-half or greater. Some rules make an exception and tell you to round up.
+
+Table: Ability Modifiers
+
+| Score | Modifier |
+|-------|----------|
+| 1     | −5       |
+| 2–3   | −4       |
+| 4–5   | −3       |
+| 6–7   | −2       |
+| 8–9   | −1       |
+| 10–11 | +0       |
+| 12–13 | +1       |
+| 14–15 | +2       |
+| 16–17 | +3       |
+| 18–19 | +4       |
+| 20–21 | +5       |
+| 22–23 | +6       |
+| 24–25 | +7       |
+| 26–27 | +8       |
+| 28–29 | +9       |
+| 30    | +10      |
+
+## D20 Tests
+
+When the outcome of an action is uncertain, the game uses a d20 roll to determine success or failure. These rolls are called D20 Tests, and they come in three kinds: ability checks, saving throws, and attack rolls. They follow these steps:
+
+1. **Roll 1d20.** You always want to roll high. If the roll has Advantage or Disadvantage (described later in “Playing the Game”), you roll two d20s, but you use the number from only one of them—the higher one if you have Advantage or the lower one if you have Disadvantage.
+
+2. **Add Modifiers.** Add these modifiers to the number rolled on the d20:
+  * **The Relevant Ability Modifier.** “Playing the Game” and “Rules Glossary” explain which ability modifiers to use for various D20 Tests.
+  * **Your Proficiency Bonus If Relevant.** Each creature has a Proficiency Bonus, a number added when making a D20 Test that uses something, such as a skill, in which the creature has proficiency. See “Proficiency” later in “Playing the Game.”
+  * **Circumstantial Bonuses and Penalties.** A class feature, a spell, or another rule might give a bonus or penalty to the die roll.
+
+3. **Compare the Total to a Target Number.** If the total of the d20 and its modifiers equals or exceeds the target number, the D20 Test succeeds. Otherwise, it fails. The Game Master determines target numbers and tells players whether their rolls are successful. The target number for an ability check or a saving throw is called a Difficulty Class (DC). The target number for an attack roll is called an Armor Class (AC), which appears on a character sheet or in a stat block (see “Rules Glossary”).
+
+### Ability Checks
+
+An ability check represents a creature using talent and training to try to overcome a challenge, such as forcing open a stuck door, picking a lock, entertaining a crowd, or deciphering a cipher. The GM and the rules often call for an ability check when a creature attempts something other than an attack that has a chance of meaningful failure. When the outcome is uncertain and narratively interesting, the dice determine the result.
+
+#### Ability Modifier
+
+An ability check is named for the ability modifier it uses: a Strength check, an Intelligence check, and so on. Different ability checks are called for in different situations, depending on which ability is most relevant. See the Ability Check Examples table for examples of each check’s use.
+
+Table: Ability Check Examples
+
+| Ability      | Make a Check To …                                          |
+|--------------|------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Strength     | Lift, push, pull, or break something                       |
+| Dexterity    | Move nimbly, quickly, or quietly                           |
+| Constitution | Push your body beyond normal limits                        |
+| Intelligence | Reason or remember                                         |
+| Wisdom       | Notice things in the environment or in creatures’ behavior |
+| Charisma     | Influence, entertain, or deceive                           |
+
+#### Proficiency Bonus
+
+Add your Proficiency Bonus to an ability check when the GM determines that a skill or tool proficiency is relevant to the check and you have that proficiency. For example, if a rule refers to a Strength (Acrobatics or Athletics) check, you can add your Proficiency Bonus to the check if you have proficiency in the Acrobatics or Athletics skill. See “Proficiency” later in “Playing the Game” for more information about skill and tool proficiencies.
+
+#### Difficulty Class
+
+The Difficulty Class of an ability check represents the task’s difficulty. The more difficult the task, the higher its DC. The rules provide DCs for certain checks, but the GM ultimately sets them. The Typical Difficulty Classes table presents a range of possible DCs for ability checks.
+
+Table: Typical Difficulty Classes
+
+| Task Difficulty   | DC |
+|-------------------|----|
+| Very easy         | 5  |
+| Easy              | 10 |
+| Medium            | 15 |
+| Hard              | 20 |
+| Very hard         | 25 | 
+| Nearly impossible | 30 |
+
+### Saving Throws
+
+A saving throw—also called a save—represents an attempt to evade or resist a threat, such as a fiery explosion, a blast of poisonous gas, or a spell trying to invade your mind. You don’t normally choose to make a save; you must make one because your character or a monster (if you’re the GM) is at risk. A save’s result is detailed in the effect that caused it.
+
+If you don’t want to resist the effect, you can choose to fail the save without rolling.
+
+#### Ability Modifier
+
+Saving throws are named for the ability modifiers they use: a Constitution saving throw, a Wisdom saving throw, and so on. Different saving throws are used to resist different kinds of effects, as shown on the Saving Throw Examples table.
+
+Table: Saving Throw Examples
+
+| Ability      | Make a Save To …               |
+|--------------|--------------------------------|
+| Strength     | Physically resist direct force |
+| Dexterity    | Dodge out of harm’s way        |
+| Constitution | Endure a toxic hazard          |
+| Intelligence | Recognize an illusion as fake  |
+| Wisdom       | Resist a mental assault        |
+| Charisma     | Assert your identity           |
+
+#### Proficiency Bonus
+
+You add your Proficiency Bonus to your saving throw if you have proficiency in that kind of save. See “Proficiency” later in “Playing the Game.”
+
+#### Difficulty Class
+
+The Difficulty Class for a saving throw is determined by the effect that causes it or by the GM. For example, if a spell forces you to make a save, the DC is determined by the caster’s spellcasting ability and Proficiency Bonus. Monster abilities that call for saves specify the DC.
+
+### Attack Rolls
+
+An attack roll determines whether an attack hits a target. An attack roll hits if the roll equals or exceeds the target’s Armor Class. Attack rolls usually occur in battle, described in “Combat” later in “Playing the Game,” but the GM might also ask for an attack roll in other situations, such as an archery competition.
+
+#### Ability Modifier
+
+The Attack Roll Abilities table shows which ability modifier to use for different types of attack rolls.
+
+Table: Attack Roll Abilities
+
+| Ability      | Attack Type                                                                                                       |
+|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Strength     | Melee attack with a weapon or an Unarmed Strike (see “Rules Glossary”)                                            |
+| Dexterity    | Ranged attack with a weapon                                                                                       |
+| Varies       | Spell attack (the ability used is determined by the spellcaster’s spellcasting feature, as explained in “Spells”) |
+
+Some features let you use different ability modifiers from those listed. For example, the Finesse property (see “Equipment”) lets you use Strength or Dexterity with a weapon that has that property.
+
+#### Proficiency Bonus
+
+You add your Proficiency Bonus to your attack roll when you attack using a weapon you have proficiency with, as well as when you attack with a spell. See “Proficiency” later in “Playing the Game” for more information about weapon proficiencies.
+
+#### Armor Class
+
+A creature’s Armor Class represents how well the creature avoids being wounded in combat. The AC of a character is determined at character creation (see “Character Creation”), whereas the AC of a monster appears in its stat block.
+
+**Calculating AC.** All creatures start with the same base AC calculation:
+ Base AC = 10 + the creature’s Dexterity modifier
+
+A creature’s AC can then be modified by armor, magic items, spells, and more.
+
+**Only One Base AC.** Some spells and class features give characters a different way to calculate their AC. A character with multiple features that give different ways to calculate AC must choose which one to use; only one base calculation can be in effect for a creature.
+
+#### Rolling 20 or 1
+
+If you roll a 20 on the d20 (called a “natural 20”) for an attack roll, the attack hits regardless of any modifiers or the target’s AC. This is called a Critical Hit (see “Combat” later in “Playing the Game”).
+
+If you roll a 1 on the d20 (a “natural 1”) for an attack roll, the attack misses regardless of any modifiers or the target’s AC.
+
+### Advantage/Disadvantage
+
+Sometimes a D20 Test is modified by Advantage or Disadvantage. Advantage reflects the positive circumstances surrounding a d20 roll, while Disadvantage reflects negative circumstances.
+
+You usually acquire Advantage or Disadvantage through the use of special abilities and actions. The GM can also decide that circumstances grant Advantage or impose Disadvantage.
+
+> ### Heroic inspiration
+>
+> Sometimes the GM or a rule gives you Heroic Inspiration. If you have Heroic Inspiration, you can expend it to reroll any die immediately after rolling it, and you must use the new roll.
+>
+> **Only One at a Time.** You can never have more than one instance of Heroic Inspiration. If something gives you Heroic Inspiration and you already have it, you can give it to a player character in your group who lacks it.
+>
+> **Gaining Heroic Inspiration.** Your GM can give you Heroic Inspiration for a variety of reasons. Typically, GMs award it when you do something particularly heroic, in character, or entertaining. It’s a reward for making the game more fun for everyone playing.
+>
+> Other rules might allow your character to gain Heroic Inspiration independent of the GM’s decision. For example, Human characters start each day with Heroic Inspiration.
+
+#### Roll Two D20s
+
+When a roll has either Advantage or Disadvantage, 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 an 18 and a 3, use the 3. If you instead have Advantage and roll those numbers, use the 18.
+
+#### They Don’t Stack
+
+If multiple situations affect a roll and they all grant Advantage on it, you still roll only two d20s. Similarly, if multiple situations impose Disadvantage on a roll, you roll only two d20s.
+
+If circumstances cause a roll to have both Advantage and Disadvantage, the roll has 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.
+
+#### Interactions with Rerolls
+
+When you have Advantage or Disadvantage and something in the game lets you reroll or replace the d20, you can reroll or replace only one die, not both. You choose which one.
+
+For example, if you have Heroic Inspiration (see the sidebar below) and roll a 3 and an 18 on an ability check that has Advantage or Disadvantage, you could expend your Heroic Inspiration to reroll one of those dice, not both of them.
+
+## Proficiency
+
+Characters and monsters are good at various things. Some are skilled with many weapons, while others can use only a few. Some are better at understanding people’s motives, and others are better at unlocking the secrets of the multiverse. All creatures have a Proficiency Bonus, which reflects the impact that training has on the creature’s capabilities. A character’s Proficiency Bonus increases as the character gains levels (described in “Character Creation”). A monster’s Proficiency Bonus is based on its Challenge Rating (see “Rules Glossary”). The Proficiency Bonus table shows how the bonus is determined.
+
+This bonus is applied to a D20 Test when the creature has proficiency in a skill, in a saving throw, or with an item that the creature uses to make the D20 Test. The bonus is also used for spell attacks and for calculating the DC of saving throws for spells.
+
+Table: Proficiency Bonus
+
+| Level or CR | Bonus |
+|-------------|-------|
+| Up to 4     | +2    |
+| 5–8         | +3    |
+| 9–12        | +4    |
+| 13–16       | +5    |
+| 17–20       | +6    |
+| 21–24       | +7    |
+| 25–28       | +8    |
+| 29–30       | +9    |
+
+### The Bonus Doesn’t Stack
+
+Your Proficiency Bonus can’t be added to a die roll or another number more than once. For example, if a rule allows you to make a Charisma (Deception or Persuasion) check, you add your Proficiency Bonus if you’re proficient in either skill, but you don’t add it twice if you’re proficient in both skills.
+
+Occasionally, a Proficiency Bonus might be multiplied or divided (doubled or halved, for example) before being added. For example, the Expertise feature (see “Rules Glossary”) doubles the Proficiency Bonus for certain ability checks. Whenever the bonus is used, it can be multiplied only once and divided only once.
+
+### Skill Proficiencies 
+
+Most ability checks involve using a skill, which represents a category of things creatures try to do with an ability check. The descriptions of the actions you take (see “Actions” later in “Playing the Game”) specify which skill applies if you make an ability check for that action, and many other rules note when a skill is relevant. The GM has the ultimate say on whether a skill is relevant in a situation.
+
+If a creature is proficient in a skill, the creature applies its Proficiency Bonus to ability checks involving that skill. Without proficiency in a skill, a creature can still make ability checks involving that skill but doesn’t add its Proficiency Bonus. For example, if a character tries to climb a cliff, the GM might ask for a Strength (Athletics) check. If the character has Athletics proficiency, the character adds their Proficiency Bonus to the Strength check. If the character lacks that proficiency, they make the check without adding their Proficiency Bonus.
+
+Table: Skills
+
+| Skill           | Ability      | Example Uses                                                              |
+|-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Acrobatics      | Dexterity    | Stay on your feet in a tricky situation, or perform an acrobatic stunt.   |
+| Animal Handling | Wisdom       | Calm or train an animal, or get an animal to behave in a certain way.     |

+| Athletics       | Strength     | Jump farther than normal, stay afloat in rough water, or break something. |
+| Deception       | Charisma     | Tell a convincing lie, or wear a disguise convincingly.                   |
+| History         | Intelligence | Recall lore about historical events, people, nations, and cultures.       | 
+| Insight         | Wisdom       | Discern a person’s mood and intentions.                                   |
+| Intimidation    | Charisma     | Awe or threaten someone into doing what you want.                         |
+| Investigation   | Intelligence | Find obscure information in books, or deduce how something works.         |
+| Medicine        | Wisdom       | Diagnose an illness, or determine what killed the recently slain.         |
+| Nature          | Intelligence | Recall lore about terrain, plants, animals, and weather.                  |
+| Perception      | Wisdom       | Using a combination of senses, notice something that’s easy to miss.      |
+| Performance     | Charisma     | Act, tell a story, perform music, or dance.                               |

+| Stealth         | Dexterity    | Escape notice by moving quietly and hiding behind things.                 |
+| Survival        | Wisdom       | Follow tracks, forage, find a trail, or avoid natural hazards.            |
+
+#### Skill List
+
+The skills are shown on the Skills table, which notes example uses for each skill proficiency as well as the ability check the skill most often applies to.
+
+#### Determining Skills
+
+A character’s starting skill proficiencies are determined at character creation, and a monster’s skill proficiencies appear in its stat block.
+
+### Saving Throw Proficiencies
+
+Proficiency in a saving throw lets a character add
+their Proficiency Bonus to saves that use a partic-
+ular ability. For example, proficiency in Wisdom
+saves lets you add your Proficiency Bonus to your
+Wisdom saves. Some monsters also have saving
+throw proficiencies, as noted in their stat blocks.
+  Each class gives proficiency in at least two saving
+throws, representing that class’s training in evading
+or resisting certain threats. Wizards, for example,
+are proficient in Intelligence and Wisdom saves;
+they train to resist mental assault.
+
+### Equipment Proficiencies
+
+A character gains proficiency with various weapons and tools from their class and background. There are two categories of equipment proficiency:
+
+**Weapons.** Anyone can wield a weapon, but proficiency makes you better at wielding it. If you have proficiency with a weapon, you add your Proficiency Bonus to attack rolls you make with it.
+
+**Tools.** If you have proficiency with a tool, you can add your Proficiency Bonus to any ability check you make that uses the tool. If you have profciency in the skill that’s also used with that check, you have Advantage on the check too. This means you can benefit from both skill proficiency and tool proficiency on the same ability check.
+
+## Actions
+
+When you do something other than moving or communicating, you typically take an action. The Action table lists the game’s main actions, which are defined in more detail in “Rules Glossary.”
+
+Table: Actions
+
+| Action    | Summary |
+|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Attack    | Attack with a weapon or an Unarmed Strike.                                        |
+| Dash      | For the rest of the turn, give yourself extra movement equal to your Speed.       |
+| Disengage | Your movement doesn’t provoke Opportunity Attacks for the rest of the turn.       |
+| Dodge     | Until the start of your next turn, attack rolls against you have Disadvantage, and you make Dexterity saving throws with Advantage. You lose this benefit if you have the Incapacitated condition or if your Speed is 0. |
+| Help      | Help another creature’s ability check or attack roll, or administer first aid.    |
+| Hide      | Make a Dexterity (Stealth) check.                                                 |
+| Influence | Make a Charisma (Deception, Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion) or Wisdom (Animal Handling) check to alter a creature’s attitude. |
+| Magic     | Cast a spell, use a magic item, or use a magical feature.                         |
+| Ready     | Prepare to take an action in response to a trigger you define.                    |
+| Search    | Make a Wisdom (Insight, Medicine, Perception, or Survival) check.                 |
+| Study     | Make an Intelligence (Arcana, History, Investigation, Nature, or Religion) check. |
+| Utilize   | Use a nonmagical object.                                                          |
+
+Player characters and monsters can also do things not covered by these actions. Many class features and other abilities provide additional action options, and you can improvise other actions. When you describe an action not detailed elsewhere in the rules, the Game Master tells you whether that action is possible and what kind of D20 Test you need to make, if any.
+
+### One Thing at a Time
+
+The game uses actions to govern how much you can do at one time. You can take only one action at a time. This principle is most important in combat, as explained in “Combat” later in “Playing the Game.”
+
+Actions can come up in other situations, too: in a social interaction, you can try to Influence a creature or use the Search action to read the creature’s body language, but you can’t do both at the same time. And when you’re exploring a dungeon, you can’t simultaneously use the Search action to look for traps and use the Help action to aid another character who’s trying to open a stuck door (with the Utilize action).
+
+### Bonus Actions
+
+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, a spell, or another feature of the game states that you can do something as a Bonus Action. You otherwise don’t have a Bonus Action to take.
+
+You can take only one Bonus Action on your turn, so you must choose which Bonus Action to use if you have more than one available.
+
+You choose when to take a Bonus Action during your turn unless the Bonus Action’s timing is specified. Anything that deprives you of your ability to take actions also prevents you from taking a Bonus Action.
+
+### Reactions
+
+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 “Playing the Game,” is the most common type of Reaction.
+
+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.
+
+In terms of timing, a Reaction takes place immediately after its trigger unless the Reaction’s description says otherwise.
+
+## Social Interaction
+
+During their adventures, player characters meet many different people and face some monsters that would rather talk than fight. In those situations, it’s time for social interaction, which takes many forms. For example, you might try to convince a burglar to confess to wrongdoing or try to flatter a guard. The Game Master assumes the roles of any nonplayer characters who are participating.
+
+An NPC’s attitude toward your character is Friendly, Indifferent, or Hostile, as defined in “Rules Glossary.” Friendly NPCs are predisposed to help, and Hostile ones are inclined to hinder.
+
+Social interactions progress in two ways: through roleplaying and ability checks.
+
+### Roleplaying
+
+Roleplaying is, literally, the act of playing out a role. In this case, it’s you as a player determining how your character thinks, acts, and talks. Roleplaying is part of every aspect of the game, and it comes to the fore during social interactions.
+
+As you roleplay, consider whether you prefer an active approach or a descriptive approach.
+
+The GM uses an NPC’s personality and your character’s actions and attitudes to determine how an NPC reacts. A cowardly bandit might buckle under threats of imprisonment. A stubborn merchant refuses to help if the characters badger her. A vain dragon laps up flattery.
+
+When interacting with an NPC, pay attention to the GM’s portrayal of the NPC’s personality. You might be able to learn an NPC’s goals and then use that information to influence the NPC.
+
+If you offer NPCs something they want or play on their sympathies, fears, or goals, you can form friendships, ward off violence, or learn a key piece of information. On the other hand, if you insult a proud warrior or speak ill of a noble’s allies, your efforts to convince or deceive will likely fail.
+
+### Ability Checks
+
+Ability checks can be key in determining the outcome of a social interaction. Your roleplaying efforts can alter an NPC’s attitude, but there might still be an element of chance if the GM wants dice to play a role in determining an NPC’s response to you. In such situations, the GM will typically ask you to take the Influence action.
+
+Pay attention to your skill proficiencies when thinking of how you will interact with an NPC; use an approach that relies on your group’s skill proficiencies. For example, if the group needs to trick a guard into letting them into a castle, the Rogue who is proficient in Deception should lead the discussion.
+
+## Exploration
+
+Exploration involves delving into places that are dangerous and full of mystery. The rules in this section detail some of the ways adventurers interact with the environment in such places.
+
+### Adventuring Equipment
+
+As adventurers explore, their equipment can help them in many ways. For example, they can reach out-of-the-way places with a Ladder, perceive things they wouldn’t otherwise notice with a Torch or another light source, bypass locked doors and containers with Thieves’ Tools, and create obstacles for pursuers with Caltrops.
+
+See “Equipment” for rules on many items that are useful on adventures. The items in the“Tools” and “Adventuring Gear” sections are especially useful. The weapons in “Equipment” can also be used for more than battle; you could use a Quarterstaff, for example, to push a sinister-looking button that you’re reluctant to touch.
+
+### Vision and Light
+
+Some adventuring tasks—such as noticing danger, hitting an enemy, and targeting certain spells—are affected by sight, so effects that obscure vision can hinder you, as explained below.
+
+#### Obscured Areas
+
+An area might be Lightly or Heavily Obscured. In a Lightly Obscured area—such as an area with Dim Light, patchy fog, or moderate foliage—you have Disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
+
+A Heavily Obscured area—such as an area with Darkness, heavy fog, or dense foliage—is opaque. You have the Blinded condition (see “Rules Glossary”) when trying to see something there.
+
+#### Light
+
+The presence or absence of light determines the category of illumination in an area, as defined below.
+
+**Bright Light.** Bright Light lets most creatures see normally. Even gloomy days provide Bright Light, as do torches, lanterns, fires, and other sources of illumination within a specific radius.
+
+**Dim Light.** Dim Light, also called shadows, creates a Lightly Obscured area. An area of Dim Light is usually a boundary between Bright Light and surrounding Darkness. The soft light of twilight and dawn also counts as Dim Light. A full moon might bathe the land in Dim Light.
+
+**Darkness.**
+
+Darkness creates a Heavily Obscured area. Characters face Darkness outdoors at night (even most moonlit nights), within the confines of an unlit dungeon, or in an area of magical Darkness.
+
+#### Special Senses
+
+Some creatures have special senses that help them perceive things in certain situations. “Rules Glossary” defines the following special senses:
+
+* Blindsight
+* Darkvision
+* Tremorsense
+* Truesight
+
+### Hiding
+
+Adventurers and monsters often hide, whether to spy on one another, sneak past a guardian, or set an ambush. The Game Master decides when circumstances are appropriate for hiding. When you try to hide, you take the Hide action.
+
+### Interacting with Objects
+
+Interacting with objects is often simple to resolve. The player tells the GM that their character is doing something, such as moving a lever or opening a door, and the GM describes what happens. Sometimes, however, rules govern what you can do with an object, as detailed in the following sections.
+
+#### What Is an Object?
+
+For the purpose of the rules, an object is a discrete, inanimate item like a window, door, sword, book, table, chair, or stone. It isn’t a building or a vehicle, which are composed of many objects.
+
+#### Time-Limited Object Interactions
+
+When time is short, such as in combat, interactions with objects are limited: one free interaction per turn. That interaction must occur during a creature’s movement or action. Any additional interactions require the Utilize action, as explained in “Combat” later in “Playing the Game.”
+
+#### Finding Hidden Objects
+
+When your character searches for hidden things, such as a secret door or a trap, the GM typically asks you to make a Wisdom (Perception) check, provided you describe the character searching in the hidden object’s vicinity. On a success, you find the object, other important details, or both.
+
+If you describe your character searching nowhere near a hidden object, a Wisdom (Perception) check won’t reveal the object, no matter the check’s total.
+
+#### Carrying Objects
+
+You can usually carry your gear and treasure without worrying about the weight of those objects. If you try to haul an unusually heavy object or a massive number of lighter objects, the GM might require you to abide by the rules for carrying capacity in “Rules Glossary.”
+
+#### Breaking Objects
+
+As an action, you can automatically break or otherwise destroy a fragile, nonmagical object, such as a glass container or a piece of paper. If you try to damage something more resilient, the GM might use the rules on breaking objects in “Rules Glossary.”
+
+> Marching Order
+> The adventurers should establish a marching order while they travel, whether indoors or outdoors. A marching order makes it easier to determine which characters are affected by traps, which ones can spot hidden enemies, and which ones are the closest to those enemies if a fight breaks out. You can change your marching order outside combat and record the order any way you like: write it down, for example, or arrange miniatures to show it.
+
+### Hazards
+
+Monsters are the main perils characters face, but other dangers await. “Rules Glossary” defines the following hazards:
+
+* Burning
+* Dehydration
+* Falling
+* Malnutrition
+* Suffocation
+
+### Travel
+
+During an adventure, the characters might travel long distances on trips that could take hours or days. The GM can summarize this travel without calculating exact distances or travel times, or the GM might have you use the travel pace rules below.
+
+If you need to know how fast you can move when every second matters, see the movement rules in “Combat” later in “Playing the Game.”
+
+#### Travel Pace
+
+While traveling outside combat, a group can move at a Fast, Normal, or Slow pace, as shown on the Travel Pace table. The table states how far the party can move in a period of time; if riding horses or other mounts, the group can move twice that distance for 1 hour, after which the mounts need a Short or Long Rest before they can move at that increased pace again (see “Equipment” for a selection of mounts for sale). “Gameplay Toolbox” has rules that affect which pace you can choose in certain types of terrain.
+
+Table: Travel Pace - Distance Traveled Per …
+| Pace   | Minute   | Hour    | Day      |
+|--------|----------|---------|----------|
+| Fast   | 400 feet | 4 miles | 30 miles |
+| Normal | 300 feet | 3 miles | 24 miles |
+| Slow   | 200 feet | 2 miles | 18 miles |
+
+
+Each travel pace has a game effect, as defined below.
+
+**Fast.** Traveling at a Fast pace imposes Disadvantage on a traveler’s Wisdom (Perception or Survival) and Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
+
+**Normal.** Traveling at a Normal pace imposes Disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
+
+**Slow.** Traveling at a Slow pace grants Advantage on Wisdom (Perception or Survival) checks.
+
+#### Vehicles
+
+Travelers 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 choose a travel pace. Depending on the vessel and the size of the crew, ships might be able to travel for up to 24 hours per day. “Equipment” includes vehicles for sale.
+
+## Combat
+
+Adventurers encounter many dangerous monsters and nefarious villains. In those moments, combat often breaks out.
+
+### The Order of Combat
+
+A typical combat encounter is a clash between two sides: a flurry of weapon swings, feints, parries, footwork, and spellcasting. The game organizes combat into a cycle of rounds and turns. A round represents about 6 seconds in the game world. During a round, each participant in a battle takes a turn. The order of turns is determined at the beginning of combat when everyone rolls Initiative. Once everyone has taken a turn, the fight continues to the next round if neither side is defeated.
+
+#### Combat Step by Step
+
+Combat unfolds in these steps:
+
+1. **Establish Positions.** The Game Master determines where all the characters and monsters are located. Given the adventurers’ marching order or their stated positions in the room or other location, the GM figures out where the adversaries are—how far away and in what direction.
+
+2. **Roll Initiative.** Everyone involved in the combat encounter rolls Initiative, determining the order of combatants’ turns.
+
+3. **Take Turns.** Each participant in the battle takes a turn in Initiative order. When everyone involved in the combat has had a turn, the round ends. Repeat this step until the fighting stops.
+
+#### Initiative
+
+Initiative determines the order of turns during combat. When combat starts, every participant rolls Initiative; they make a Dexterity check that determines their place in the Initiative order. The GM rolls for monsters. For a group of identical creatures, the GM makes a single roll, so each member of the group has the same Initiative.
+
+**Surprise.** If a combatant is surprised by combat starting, that combatant has Disadvantage on their Initiative roll. For example, if an ambusher starts combat while hidden from a foe who is unaware that combat is starting, that foe is surprised.
+
+**Initiative Order.** A combatant’s check total is called their Initiative count, or Initiative for short. The GM ranks the combatants, from highest to lowest Initiative. This is the order in which they act during each round. The Initiative order remains the same from round to round.
+
+**Ties.** If a tie occurs, the GM decides the order among tied monsters, and the players decide the order among tied characters. The GM decides the order if the tie is between a monster and a player character.
+
+#### Your Turn
+
+On your turn, you can move a distance up to your Speed and take one action. You decide whether to move first or take your action first.
+
+The main actions you can take are listed in “Actions” earlier in “Playing the Game.” A character’s features and a monster’s stat block also provide action options. “Movement and Position” later in “Playing the Game” gives the rules for movement.
+
+**Communicating.** You can communicate however you are able—through brief utterances and gestures—as you take your turn. Doing so uses neither your action nor your move.
+
+Extended communication, such as a detailed explanation of something or an attempt to persuade a foe, requires an action. The Influence action is the main way you try to influence a monster.
+
+**Interacting with Things.** You can interact with one object or feature of the environment for free, during either your move or action. For example, you could open a door during your move as you stride toward a foe.
+
+If you want to interact with a second object, you need to take the Utilize action. Some magic items and other special objects always require an action to use, as stated in their descriptions.
+
+> ### Playing on a Grid
+>
+>If you play using a square grid and miniatures or other tokens, follow these rules.
+>
+> **Squares.** Each square represents 5 feet.
+>
+> **Speed.** Rather than moving foot by foot, move square by square on the grid, using your Speed in 5-foot segments. You can translate your Speed into squares by dividing it by 5. For example, a Speed of 30 feet translates into 6 squares. If you use a grid often, consider writing your Speed in squares on your character sheet.
+>
+> **Entering a Square.** To enter a square, you must have enough movement left to pay for entering. It costs 1 square of movement to enter an unoccupied square that’s adjacent to your space (orthogonally or diagonally adjacent). A square of Difficult Terrain costs 2 squares to enter. Other effects might make a square cost even more.
+>
+> **Corners.** Diagonal movement can’t cross the corner of a wall, a large tree, or another terrain feature that fills its space.
+>
+> **Ranges.** To determine the range on a grid between two things—whether creatures or objects—count squares from a square adjacent to one of them and stop counting in the space of the other one. Count by the shortest route.
+
+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 might require you to take the Utilize action to open a stuck door or turn a crank to lower a drawbridge.
+
+**Doing Nothing on Your Turn.** You can forgo moving, taking an action, or doing anything at all on your turn. If you can’t decide what to do, consider taking the defensive Dodge action or the Ready action to delay acting.
+
+#### Ending Combat
+
+Combat ends when one side or the other is defeated, which can mean the creatures are killed or knocked out or have surrendered or fled. Combat can also end when both sides agree to end it.
+
+### Movement and Position
+
+On your turn, you can move a distance equal to your Speed or less. Or you can decide not to move.
+
+Your movement can include climbing, crawling, jumping, and swimming (each explained in “Rules Glossary”). These different modes of movement can be combined with your regular movement, or they can constitute your entire move.
+
+However you’re moving with your Speed, you deduct the distance of each part of your move from it until it is used up or until you are done moving, whichever comes first.
+
+A character’s Speed is determined during character creation. A monster’s Speed is noted in the monster’s stat block. See “Rules Glossary” for more about Speed as well as about special speeds, such as a Climb Speed, Fly Speed, or Swim Speed.
+
+#### Difficult Terrain
+
+Combatants are often slowed down by Difficult Terrain. Low furniture, rubble, undergrowth, steep stairs, snow, and shallow bogs are examples of Difficult Terrain.
+
+Every foot of movement in Difficult Terrain costs 1 extra foot, even if multiple things in a space count as Difficult Terrain.
+
+#### Breaking Up Your Move
+
+You can break up your move, using some of its movement before and after any action, Bonus Action, or Reaction you take on the same turn. For example, if you have a Speed of 30 feet, you could go 10 feet, take an action, and then go 20 feet.
+
+#### Dropping Prone
+
+On your turn, you can give yourself the Prone condition (see “Rules Glossary”) without using an action or any of your Speed, but you can’t do so if your Speed is 0.
+
+#### Creature Size
+
+A creature belongs to a size category, which determines the width of the square space the creature occupies on a map, as shown on the Creature Size and Space table. That table lists the sizes from smallest (Tiny) to largest (Gargantuan). A creature’s space is the area that it effectively controls in combat and the area it needs to fight effectively.
+
+A character’s size is determined by species, and a monster’s size is specified in the monster’s stat block.
+
+Table: Creature Size and Space
+
+| Size       | Space (Feet)  | Space (Squares)     |
+|------------|---------------|---------------------|
+| Tiny       | 2½ by 2½ feet | 4 per square        |
+| Small      | 5 by 5 feet   | 1 square            |
+| Medium     | 5 by 5 feet   | 1 square            |
+| Large      | 10 by 10 feet | 4 squares (2 by 2)  |
+| Huge       | 15 by 15 feet | 9 squares (3 by 3)  |
+| Gargantuan | 20 by 20 feet | 16 squares (4 by 4) |
+
+#### Moving around Other Creatures
+
+During your move, you can pass through the space of an ally, a creature that has the Incapacitated
+condition (see “Rules Glossary”), a Tiny creature, or a creature that is two sizes larger or smaller than
+you.
+
+Another creature’s space is Difficult Terrain for you unless that creature is Tiny or your ally.
+
+You can’t willingly end a move in a space occupied by another creature. If you somehow end a turn in
+a space with another creature, you have the Prone condition (see “Rules Glossary”) unless you are Tiny or are of a larger size than the other creature.
+
+### Making an Attack
+
+When you take the Attack action, you make an attack. Some other actions, Bonus Actions, and Reactions also let you make an attack. Whether you strike with a Melee weapon, fire a Ranged weapon, or make an attack roll as part of a spell, an attack has the following structure:
+
+> ### Unseen Attackers and Targets
+>
+> When you make an attack roll against a target you can’t see, you have Disadvantage on the roll. This is true whether you’re guessing the target’s location or targeting a creature you can hear but not see. If the target isn’t in the location you targeted, you miss.
+>
+> When a creature can’t see you, you have Advantage on attack rolls against it.
+> If you are hidden when you make an attack roll, you give away your location when the attack hits or misses.
+
+1. **Choose a Target.** Pick a target within your attack’s range: a creature, an object, or a location.
+
+2. **Determine Modifiers.** The GM determines whether the target has Cover (see the next section) and whether you have Advantage or Disadvantage against the target. In addition, spells, special abilities, and other effects can apply penalties or bonuses to your attack roll.
+
+3. **Resolve the Attack.** Make the attack roll, as detailed earlier in “Playing the Game.” On a hit, you roll damage unless the particular attack has rules that specify otherwise. Some attacks cause special effects in addition to or instead of damage.
+
+### Cover
+
+Walls, trees, creatures, and other obstacles can provide cover, making a target more difficult to harm. As detailed in the Cover table, there are three degrees of cover, each of which gives a different benefit to a target.
+
+A target can benefit from cover only when an attack or other effect originates on the opposite side of the 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 HalfCover and a tree trunk that gives Three-Quarters Cover, the target has Three-Quarters Cover.
+
+Table: Cover
+
+| Degree         | Benefit to Target                          | Offered By … |
+|----------------|--------------------------------------------|--------------|
+| Half           | +2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws | Another creature or an object that covers at least half of the target |
+| Three Quarters | +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws | An object that covers at least three-quarters of the target |
+| Total          | Can’t be targeted directly                 | An object that covers the whole target |
+
+### Ranged Attacks
+
+When you make a ranged attack, you fire a bow,
+hurl an axe, or otherwise send projectiles to strike a
+foe at a distance. Many spells also involve making a
+ranged attack.
+
+#### Range
+
+You can make ranged attacks only against targets
+within a specified range. If a ranged attack, such as
+one made with a spell, has a single range, you can’t
+attack a target beyond this range.
+
+  Some ranged attacks, such as those made with a
+Longbow, 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 long range.
+
+#### Ranged Attacks in Close Combat
+
+Aiming a ranged attack is more difficult when a foe
+is next to you. When you make a ranged attack roll
+with a weapon, a spell, or some other means, you
+have Disadvantage on the roll if you are within 5
+feet of an enemy who can see you and doesn’t have
+the Incapacitated condition (see “Rules Glossary”).
+
+### Melee Attacks
+
+A melee attack allows you to attack a target within
+your reach. A melee attack typically uses a hand-
+held weapon or an Unarmed Strike. Many monsters
+make melee attacks with claws, teeth, or other body
+parts. A few spells also involve melee attacks.
+
+#### Reach
+
+A creature has a 5-foot reach and can thus attack
+targets within 5 feet when making a melee attack.
+Certain creatures have melee attacks with a reach
+greater than 5 feet, as noted in their descriptions.
+
+#### Opportunity Attacks
+
+Combatants watch for enemies to drop their guard.
+If you move heedlessly past your foes, you put your-
+self in danger by provoking an Opportunity Attack.
+
+**Avoiding Opportunity Attacks.** You can avoid
+provoking an Opportunity Attack by taking the
+Disengage action. You also don’t provoke an Oppor-
+tunity Attack when you Teleport or when you are
+moved without using your movement, action, Bonus
+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 you fall past an enemy.
+
+**Making an Opportunity Attack.** You can make an Opportunity Attack when a creature that you can
+see leaves your reach. To make the attack, take a Reaction to make one melee attack with a weapon or an Unarmed Strike against that creature. The attack occurs right before it leaves your reach.
+
+### Mounted Combat
+
+A willing creature that is at least one size larger
+than a rider and that has an appropriate anatomy
+can serve as a mount, using the following rules.
+
+#### Mounting and Dismounting
+
+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 (round down). For example, if your Speed is 30 feet, you spend 15 feet of movement to mount a horse.
+
+#### Controlling a Mount
+
+You can control a mount only if it has been trained to accept a rider. Domesticated horses, mules, and similar creatures have such training.
+
+The Initiative of a controlled mount changes to match yours when you mount it. It moves on your turn as you direct it, and it has only three action options during that turn: Dash, Disengage, and Dodge. A controlled mount can move and act even on the turn that you mount it.
+
+In contrast, an independent mount—one that lets you ride but ignores your control—retains its place in the Initiative order and moves and acts as it likes.
+
+#### Falling Off
+
+If an effect is about to move your mount against its will while you’re on it, you must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall off, landing with the Prone condition (see “Rules Glossary”) in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the mount.
+
+While mounted, you must make the same save if you’re knocked Prone or the mount is.
+
+### Underwater Combat
+
+A fight underwater follows these rules.
+
+#### Impeded Weapons
+
+When making a melee attack roll with a weapon
+underwater, a creature that lacks a Swim Speed has
+Disadvantage on the attack roll unless the weapon
+deals Piercing damage.
+  A ranged attack roll with a weapon underwater
+automatically misses a target beyond the weapon’s
+normal range, and the attack roll has Disadvantage
+against a target within normal range.
+
+#### Fire Resistance
+
+Anything underwater has Resistance to Fire damage (explained in “Damage and Healing”).
+
+## Damage and Healing
+
+Injury and death are frequent threats, as detailed in
+the following rules.
+
+### Hit Points
+
+Hit Points represent durability and the will to live. Creatures with more Hit Points are more difficult to kill. Your Hit Point maximum is the number of
+
+Hit Points you have when uninjured. Your current Hit Points can be any number from that maximum down to 0, which is the lowest Hit Points can go.
+
+Whenever you take damage, subtract it from your Hit Points. Hit Point loss has no effect on your capabilities until you reach 0 Hit Points.
+
+If you have half your Hit Points or fewer, you’re Bloodied, which has no game effect on its own but which might trigger other game effects.
+
+> Resting
+>
+> Adventurers can’t spend every hour adventuring. They need rest. Any creature can take hour-long Short Rests in the midst of a day and an 8-hour Long Rest to end it. Regaining Hit Points is one of the main benefits of a rest. “Rules Glossary” provides the rules for Short and Long Rests.
+
+### Damage Rolls
+
+Each weapon, spell, and damaging monster ability specifies the damage it deals. You roll the damage dice, add any modifiers, and deal the damage to your target. If there’s a penalty to the damage, it’s possible to deal 0 damage but not negative damage.
+
+When attacking with a weapon, you add your ability modifier—the same modifier used for the attack roll—to the damage roll. A spell tells you which dice to roll for damage and whether to add any modifiers. Unless a rule says otherwise, you don’t add your ability modifier to a fixed damage amount that doesn’t use a roll, such as the damage of a Blowgun. See “Equipment” for weapons’ damage dice and “Spells” for spells’ damage dice.
+
+### Critical Hits
+
+When you score a Critical Hit, you deal extra damage. Roll the attack’s damage dice twice, add them together, and add any relevant modifiers as normal. For example, if you score a Critical Hit with a Dagger, roll 2d4 for the damage rather than 1d4, and add your relevant ability modifier. If the attack involves other damage dice, such as from the Rogue’s Sneak Attack feature, you also roll those dice twice.
+
+### Saving Throws and Damage
+
+Damage dealt via saving throws uses these rules.
+
+#### Damage against Multiple Targets
+
+When you create a damaging effect that forces two or more targets to make saving throws against it at the same time, roll the damage once for all the targets. For example, when a wizard casts Fireball, the spell’s damage is rolled once for all creatures caught in the blast.
+
+#### Half Damage
+
+Many saving throw effects deal half damage (round down) to a target when the target succeeds on the saving throw. The halved damage is equal to half the damage that would be dealt on a failed save.
+
+### Damage Types
+
+Each instance of damage has a type, like Fire or Slashing. Damage types are listed in “Rules Glossary” and have no rules of their own, but other rules, such as Resistance, rely on damage types.
+
+### Resistance and Vulnerability 
+
+Some creatures and objects have Resistance or Vulnerability to certain damage types. If you have Resistance to a damage type, damage of that type is halved against you (round down). If you have Vulnerability to a damage type, damage of that type is doubled against you. For example, if you have Resistance to Cold damage, such damage is halved against you, and if you have Vulnerability to Fire damage, such damage is doubled against you.
+
+#### No Stacking
+
+Multiple instances of Resistance or Vulnerability that affect the same damage type count as only one instance. For example, if you have Resistance to Necrotic damage as well as Resistance to all damage, Necrotic damage is reduced by half against you.
+
+#### Order of Application
+
+Modifiers to damage are applied in the following order: adjustments such as bonuses, penalties, or multipliers are applied first; Resistance is applied second; and Vulnerability is applied third.
+
+For example, a creature has Resistance to all damage and Vulnerability to Fire damage, and it’s within a magical aura that reduces all damage by 5. If it takes 28 Fire damage, the damage is first reduced by 5 (to 23), then halved for the creature’s Resistance (and rounded down to 11), then doubled for its Vulnerability (to 22).
+
+### Immunity
+
+Some creatures and objects have Immunity to certain damage types and conditions. Immunity to a damage type means you don’t take damage of that type, and Immunity to a condition means you aren’t affected by it.
+
+### Healing
+Hit Points can be restored by magic, such as the *Cure Wounds* or by a *Potion of Healing*,  spell or a Short or Long Rest (see “Rules Glossary”).
+
+When you receive healing, add the restored Hit Points to your current Hit Points. Your Hit Points can’t exceed your Hit Point maximum, so any Hit Points regained in excess of the maximum are lost. For example, if you receive 8 Hit Points of healing and have 14 Hit Points and a Hit Point maximum of 20, you regain 6 Hit Points, not 8.

+> When you would reduce a creature to 0 Hit Points with a melee attack, you can instead reduce the creature to 1 Hit Point and give it the Unconscious condition. It then starts a Short Rest, at the end of which that condition ends on it. The condition ends early if the creature regains any Hit Points or if someone takes an action to administer first aid to it, making a successful DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check.
+
+### Dropping to 0 Hit Points
+
+When a creature drops to 0 Hit Points, it either dies outright or falls unconscious, as explained below.
+
+#### Instant Death
+
+Here are the main ways a creature can die instantly.
+
+**Monster Death.** A monster dies the instant it drops to 0 Hit Points, although a Game Master can ignore this rule for an individual monster and treat it like a character.
+
+**Hit Point Maximum of 0.** A creature dies if its Hit Point maximum reaches 0. Certain effects drain life energy, reducing a creature’s Hit Point maximum.
+
+**Massive Damage.** When damage reduces a character to 0 Hit Points and damage remains, the character dies if the remainder equals or exceeds their Hit Point maximum. For example, if your character has a Hit Point maximum of 12, currently has 6 Hit Points, and takes 18 damage, the character drops to 0 Hit Points, but 12 damage remains. The character then dies, since 12 equals their Hit Point maximum.
+
+#### Character Demise
+
+If your character dies, others might find a magical way to revive your character, such as with the *Raise Dead* spell. Or talk with the GM about making a new character to join the group. “Rules Glossary” has more information on being dead.
+
+#### Falling Unconscious
+
+If you reach 0 Hit Points and don’t die instantly, you have the Unconscious condition (see “Rules Glos- sary”) until you regain any Hit Points, and you now face making Death Saving Throws (see below).
+
+#### Death Saving Throws
+
+Whenever you start your turn with 0 Hit Points, you must make a Death Saving Throw to determine whether you creep closer to death or hang on to life. Unlike other saving throws, this one isn’t tied to an ability score. You’re in the hands of fate now.
+
+**Three Successes/Failures.** Roll 1d20. 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 “Stabilizing a Character” 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.
+
+**Rolling a 1 or 20.** When you roll a 1 on the d20 for a Death Saving Throw, you suffer two failures. If you roll a 20 on the d20, you regain 1 Hit Point.
+
+**Damage at 0 Hit Points.** 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 die.
+
+#### Stabilizing a Character
+
+You can take the Help action to try to stabilize a creature with 0 Hit Points, which requires a successful DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check.
+
+A Stable creature doesn’t make Death Saving Throws even though it has 0 Hit Points, but it still has the Unconscious condition. If the creature takes damage, it stops being Stable and starts making Death Saving Throws again. A Stable creature that isn’t healed regains 1 Hit Point after 1d4 hours.
+
+### Temporary Hit Points
+
+Some spells and other effects confer Temporary Hit Points, which are a buffer against losing actual Hit Points, as explained below.
+
+#### Lose Temporary Hit Points First
+
+If you have Temporary Hit Points and take damage, those points are lost first, and any leftover damage carries over to your Hit Points. For example, if you have 5 Temporary Hit Points and take 7 damage, you lose those points and then lose 2 Hit Points.
+
+#### Duration
+
+Temporary Hit Points last until they’re depleted or you finish a Long Rest (see “Rules Glossary”).
+
+#### They Don’t Stack
+
+Temporary Hit Points 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.
+
+#### They’re Not Hit Points or Healing
+
+Temporary Hit Points can’t be added to your Hit Points, healing can’t restore them, and receiving Temporary Hit Points doesn’t count as healing. Because Temporary Hit Points aren’t Hit Points, a creature can be at full Hit Points and receive Temporary Hit Points.
+
+If you have 0 Hit Points, receiving Temporary Hit Points doesn’t restore you to consciousness. Only true healing can save you.

+# Character Creation
+
+## Choose a Character Sheet
+
+You'll record the main details of your character on a character sheet. Throughout this chapter, we use the term "character sheet" to mean whatever you use to track your character's details, whether it's a printed character sheet, a digital character sheet, or plain paper. Choose whichever style of sheet works for you, and then embark on creating a character!
+
+## Create Your Character
+
+Here are the steps to make a character; each step is explored in detail:
+
+1. **Choose a Class.** Every adventurer is a member of a class. A class broadly describes a character's vocation, special talents, and favored tactics.
+2. **Determine Origin.** A character's origin includes two elements: background and species. How did the character spend the years leading up to a life of adventure? Who are the character's ancestors? You can also choose your character's languages.
+3. **Determine Ability Scores.** Much of what your character does in the game depends on the character's six abilities.
+4. **Choose an Alignment.** Alignment is a shorthand for your character's moral compass.
+5. **Fill in Details.** Using the choices you've made, fill in the remaining details on your character sheet.
+
+### Step 1: Choose Class
+
+Choose a class, and write it on your character sheet. The Class Overview table summarizes the classes. See "Classes" for the classes' details.
+
+Table: Class Overview
+
+| Class     | Likes             | Primary Ability          | Complexity |
+|-----------|-------------------|--------------------------|------------|
+| Barbarian | Battle            | Strength                 | Average    |
+| Bard      | Performing        | Charisma                 | High       |
+| Cleric    | Gods              | Wisdom                   | Average    |
+| Druid     | Nature            | Wisdom                   | High       |
+| Fighter   | Weapons           | Strength or Dexterity    | Low        |
+| Monk      | Unarmed combat    | Dexterity and Wisdom     | High       |
+| Paladin   | Defense           | Strength and Charisma    | Average    |
+| Ranger    | Survival          | Dexterity and Wisdom     | Average    |
+| Rogue     | Stealth           | Dexterity                | Low        |
+| Sorcerer  | Power             | Charisma                 | High       |
+| Warlock   | Occult lore       | Charisma                 | High       |
+| Wizard    | Spellbooks        | Intelligence             | Average    |
+
+#### Write Your Level
+
+Write your character's level on your character sheet. Typically, a character starts at level 1 and advances in level by adventuring and gaining Experience Points (XP).
+
+**Write Your XP.** Also record your Experience Points. A level 1 character has 0 XP.
+
+**Starting at a Higher Level.** Your GM might start you at a higher level. If you start at level 3 or higher, write your chosen subclass on your character sheet. See the "Starting at Higher Levels" section later in "Character Creation" for more information.
+
+#### Note Armor Training
+
+Your class might give you training with certain categories of armor. Note your armor training on your character sheet. Armor training with a kind of armor means you can wear that armor effectively, gaining defensive bonuses from it. The categories of armor are described in "Equipment."
+
+### Step 2: Character Origin
+
+Determining your character's origin involves choosing a background, a species, and two languages.
+
+A character's background represents the place and occupation that were most formative for the character. The combination of background, species, and languages provides fertile soil for your imagination as you ponder your character's earliest days.
+
+#### Choose a Background
+
+Choose your character's background, and write it on your character sheet. You can choose any of the backgrounds detailed in "Character Origins," and your GM might offer additional backgrounds as options.
+
+The background you choose influences step 3, when you determine your character's ability scores. If you're having trouble choosing, the Ability Scores and Backgrounds table shows which backgrounds benefit which ability scores. Look for your class's primary ability there.
+
+Table: Ability Scores and Backgrounds
+
+| Ability      | Background |
+|--------------|------------|
+| Strength     | Soldier    |
+| Dexterity    | Soldier    |
+| Constitution | Soldier    |
+| Intelligence | Acolyte    |
+| Wisdom       | Acolyte    |
+| Charisma     | Acolyte    |
+
+**Record Your Feat.** A background gives you a feat, which grants your character particular capabilities. Feats are detailed in "Feats." Write the feat on your character sheet.
+
+**Note Proficiencies.** Your background gives proficiency in two skills and with one tool. Record this information on your character sheet.
+
+Your class also gives proficiencies. Check your class description in "Classes" and note the proficiencies on your character sheet.
+
+The features table in your class description shows your Proficiency Bonus (described in "Playing the Game"), which is +2 for a level 1 character. Note this number on your character sheet. You'll fill in other numbers connected to these proficiencies in step 5.
+
+#### Choose Starting Equipment
+
+Your background and class both provide starting equipment. Any coins that you gain at this step can be immediately spent on equipment from "Equipment."
+
+Record your chosen equipment on your character sheet. Equipment is described in "Equipment," but for now you can just write it all down and look up the specifics in "Equipment" later. Note any coins you have left after purchasing your equipment.
+
+#### Choose a Species
+
+Choose a species for your character. The following species options are detailed in "Character Origins": Dragonborn, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Goliath, Halfling, Human, Orc, and Tiefling. Once you've chosen a species, write it on your character sheet. Then record your species' traits.
+
+Your character's size and Speed are determined by the character's species; record these in the appropriate places on your character sheet as well (you may write just the first letter of your size).
+
+#### Imagine Your Past and Present
+
+Let your character's background and species inspire how you imagine their past. That past fed into the character's present. With that in mind, consider answers to the following questions as your character:
+
+- Who raised you?
+- Who was your dearest childhood friend?
+- Did you grow up with a pet?
+- Have you fallen in love? If so, with whom?
+- Did you join an organization, such as a guild or religion? If so, are you still a member of it?
+- What elements of your past inspire you to go on adventures now?
+
+#### Choose Languages
+
+Your character knows at least three languages: Common plus two languages you roll or choose from the Standard Languages table. Knowledge of a language means your character can communicate in it, read it, and write it. Your class and other features might also give you languages.
+
+The Standard Languages table lists languages that are widespread in the setting. Every player character knows Common. The other standard languages originated with the first members of the most prominent species in the setting and have since spread widely.
+
+Table: Standard Languages
+
+| 1d12  | Language             |
+|-------|----------------------|
+| —     | Common               |
+| 1     | Common Sign Language |
+| 2     | Draconic             |
+| 3–4   | Dwarvish             |
+| 5–6   | Elvish               |
+| 7     | Giant                |
+| 8     | Gnomish              |
+| 9     | Goblin               |
+| 10–11 | Halfling             |
+| 12    | Orc                  |
+
+The Rare Languages table lists languages that are either secret or derived from other planes of existence and thus less widespread in the worlds of the Material Plane. Some features let a character learn a rare language.
+
+Table: Rare Languages
+
+| Language    | Language      |
+|-------------|---------------|
+| Abyssal     | Primordial*   |
+| Celestial   | Sylvan        |
+| Deep Speech | Thieves' Cant |
+| Druidic     | Undercommon   |
+| Infernal    |               |
+
+\*Primordial includes the Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran dialects. Creatures that know one of these dialects can communicate with those that know a different one.
+
+### Step 3: Ability Scores
+
+To determine your character's ability scores, you first generate a set of six numbers using the instructions below and then assign them to your six abilities. "Playing the Game" explains what each ability means.
+
+#### Generate Your Scores
+
+Determine your ability scores by using one of the following three methods. Your GM might prefer you to use a particular one.
+
+**Standard Array.** Use the following six scores for your abilities: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8.
+
+**Random Generation.** Roll four d6s and record the total of the highest three dice. Do this five more times, so you have six numbers.
+
+**Point Cost.** You have 27 points to spend on your ability scores. The cost of each score is shown on the Ability Score Point Costs table. For example, a score of 14 costs 7 of your 27 points.
+
+Table: Ability Score Point Costs
+
+| Score | Cost | Score | Cost |
+|-------|------|-------|------|
+| 8     | 0    | 12    | 4    |
+| 9     | 1    | 13    | 5    |
+| 10    | 2    | 14    | 7    |
+| 11    | 3    | 15    | 9    |
+
+#### Assign Ability Scores
+
+Once you've generated six scores, assign them to Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, keeping in mind your class's primary ability. Fill in the ability modifiers as well.
+
+If you're using the Standard Array option, consult the Standard Array by Class table for suggestions on where to assign scores for your character's class. The table puts the highest scores in a class's main abilities. If you used a different method to generate the scores, you may still use this table to guide where you place your highest and lowest scores.
+
+Table: Standard Array by Class
+
+| Class     | Str. | Dex. | Con. | Int. | Wis. | Cha. |
+|-----------|------|------|------|------|------|------|
+| Barbarian | 15   | 13   | 14   | 10   | 12   | 8    |
+| Bard      | 8    | 14   | 12   | 13   | 10   | 15   |
+| Cleric    | 14   | 8    | 13   | 10   | 15   | 12   |
+| Druid     | 8    | 12   | 14   | 13   | 15   | 10   |
+| Fighter   | 15   | 14   | 13   | 8    | 10   | 12   |
+| Monk      | 12   | 15   | 13   | 10   | 14   | 8    |
+| Paladin   | 15   | 10   | 13   | 8    | 12   | 14   |
+| Ranger    | 12   | 15   | 13   | 8    | 14   | 10   |
+| Rogue     | 12   | 15   | 13   | 14   | 10   | 8    |
+| Sorcerer  | 10   | 13   | 14   | 8    | 12   | 15   |
+| Warlock   | 8    | 14   | 13   | 12   | 10   | 15   |
+| Wizard    | 8    | 12   | 13   | 15   | 14   | 10   |
+
+#### Adjust Ability Scores
+
+After assigning your ability scores, adjust them according to your background. Your background lists three abilities; increase one of those scores by 2 and a different one by 1, or increase all three by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20.
+
+Some players like to increase their class's primary ability, while others prefer to increase a low score.
+
+#### Determine Ability Modifiers
+
+Finally, determine your ability modifiers using the Ability Scores and Modifiers table. Write the modifier next to each of your scores.
+
+Table: Ability Scores and Modifiers
+
+| Score | Modifier | Score | Modifier |
+|-------|----------|-------|----------|
+| 3     | −4       | 12–13 | +1       |
+| 4–5   | −3       | 14–15 | +2       |
+| 6–7   | −2       | 16–17 | +3       |
+| 8–9   | −1       | 18–19 | +4       |
+| 10–11 | +0       | 20    | +5       |
+
+### Step 4: Alignment
+
+Choose your character's alignment from the options below, and note it on your character sheet.
+
+The game assumes that player characters aren't of an evil alignment. Check with your GM before making an evil character.
+
+#### The Nine Alignments
+
+A creature's alignment broadly describes its ethical attitudes and ideals. Alignment is a combination of two factors: one identifies morality (good, evil, or neutral), and the other describes attitudes toward order (lawful, chaotic, or neutral).
+
+The summaries of the alignments below describe the typical behavior of a creature with that alignment; individuals can vary from that behavior.
+
+**Lawful Good (LG).** Lawful Good creatures endeavor to do the right thing as expected by society. Someone who fights injustice and protects the innocent without hesitation is probably Lawful Good.
+
+**Neutral Good (NG).** Neutral Good creatures do the best they can, working within rules but not feeling bound by them. A kindly person who helps others according to their needs is probably Neutral Good.
+
+**Chaotic Good (CG).** Chaotic Good creatures act as their conscience directs with little regard for what others expect. A rebel who waylays a cruel baron's tax collectors and uses the stolen money to help the poor is probably Chaotic Good.
+
+**Lawful Neutral (LN).** Lawful Neutral individuals act in accordance with law, tradition, or personal codes. Someone who follows a disciplined rule of life—and isn't swayed either by the demands of those in need or by the temptations of evil—is probably Lawful Neutral.
+
+**Neutral (N).** Neutral is the alignment of those who prefer to avoid moral questions and don't take sides, doing what seems best at the time. Someone who's bored by moral debate is probably Neutral.
+
+**Chaotic Neutral (CN).** Chaotic Neutral creatures follow their whims, valuing their personal freedom above all else. A scoundrel who wanders the land living by their wits is probably Chaotic Neutral.
+
+**Lawful Evil (LE).** Lawful Evil creatures methodically take what they want within the limits of a code of tradition, loyalty, or order. An aristocrat exploiting citizens while scheming for power is probably Lawful Evil.
+
+**Neutral Evil (NE).** Neutral Evil is the alignment of those who are untroubled by the harm they cause as they pursue their desires. A criminal who robs and murders as they please is probably Neutral Evil.
+
+**Chaotic Evil (CE).** Chaotic Evil creatures act with arbitrary violence, spurred by their hatred or bloodlust. A villain pursuing schemes of vengeance and havoc is probably Chaotic Evil.
+
+> ### Unaligned Creatures
+>
+>Most creatures that lack the capacity for rational thought don't have alignments; they are unaligned. Sharks are savage predators, for example, but they aren't evil; they are unaligned.
+
+
+### Step 5: Character Creation Details
+
+Now fill in the rest of your character sheet.
+
+#### Record Class Features
+
+Look at your class's feature table in "Classes," and write down the level 1 features. The class features are detailed there too.
+
+Some class features offer choices. Make sure to read all your features and make any offered choices.
+
+#### Fill In Numbers
+
+Note these numbers on your character sheet.
+
+**Saving Throws.** For the saving throws you have proficiency in, add your Proficiency Bonus to the appropriate ability modifier and note the total. Some players also like to note the modifier for saving throws they're not proficient in, which is just the relevant ability modifier.
+
+**Skills.** For skills you have proficiency in, add your Proficiency Bonus to the ability modifier associated with that skill, and note the total. You might also wish to note the modifier for skills you're not proficient in, which is just the relevant ability modifier.
+
+**Passive Perception.** Sometimes your GM will determine whether your character notices something without asking you to make a Wisdom (Perception) check; the GM uses your Passive Perception instead. Passive Perception is a score that reflects a general awareness of your surroundings when you're not actively looking for something. Use this formula to determine your Passive Perception score:
+
+*Passive Perception* = 10 + Wisdom (Perception) check modifier
+
+Include all modifiers that apply to your Wisdom (Perception) checks. For example, if your character has a Wisdom of 15 and proficiency in the Perception skill, you have a Passive Perception of 14 (10 + 2 for your Wisdom modifier + 2 for proficiency).
+
+**Hit Points.** Your class and Constitution modifier determine your Hit Point maximum at level 1, as shown on the Level 1 Hit Points by Class table.
+
+Table: Level 1 Hit Points by Class
+
+| Class                                           | Hit Point Maximum  |
+|-------------------------------------------------|--------------------|
+| Barbarian                                       | 12 + Con. modifier |
+| Fighter, Paladin, or Ranger                     | 10 + Con. modifier |
+| Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Rogue, or Warlock    | 8 + Con. modifier  |
+| Sorcerer or Wizard                              | 6 + Con. modifier  |
+
+The character sheet includes room to note your current Hit Points when you take damage, as well as any Temporary Hit Points you might gain. There's also space to track Death Saving Throws.
+
+**Hit Point Dice.** Your class's description tells you the die type of your character's Hit Point Dice (or Hit Dice for short); write this on your character sheet. At level 1, your character has 1 Hit Die. You can spend Hit Dice during a Short Rest to recover Hit Points. Your character sheet also includes space to note how many Hit Dice you've spent.
+
+**Initiative.** Write your Dexterity modifier in the space for Initiative on your character sheet.
+
+**Armor Class.** Without armor or a shield, your base Armor Class is 10 plus your Dexterity modifier. If your starting equipment includes armor or a Shield (or both), calculate your AC using the rules in "Equipment." A class feature might give you a different way to calculate your AC.
+
+**Attacks.** In the Weapons & Damage Cantrips section of the character sheet, write your starting weapons. The attack roll bonus for a weapon with which you have proficiency is one of the following unless a weapon's property says otherwise:
+
+*Melee attack bonus* = Strength modifier + Proficiency Bonus 
+
+*Ranged attack bonus* = Dexterity modifier + Proficiency Bonus
+
+Look up the damage and properties of your weapons in "Equipment." You add the same ability modifier you use for attacks with a weapon to your damage rolls with that weapon.
+
+**Spellcasting.** Note both the saving throw DC for your spells and the attack bonus for attacks you make with them, using these formulas:
+
+*Spell save DC* = 8 + spellcasting ability modifier + Proficiency Bonus
+
+*Spell attack bonus* = spellcasting ability modifier + Proficiency Bonus
+
+Your spellcasting ability modifier for a spell is determined by whatever feature gives you the ability to cast the spell.
+
+**Spell Slots, Cantrips, and Prepared Spells.** If your class gives you the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, your class features table shows the number of spell slots you have available, how many cantrips you know, and how many spells you can prepare. Choose your cantrips and prepared spells, and note them—along with your number of spell slots—on your character sheet.
+
+## Level Advancement
+
+While going on adventures, your character gains experience, represented by Experience Points (XP). A character who reaches a specified Experience Point total advances in capability. This advancement is called gaining a level.
+
+The Character Advancement table lists the XP you need to advance to a level and the Proficiency Bonus for a character of that level. When your XP total equals or exceeds a number in the Experience Points column, you reach the corresponding level.
+
+Table: Character Advancement
+
+| Level | Experience Points | Proficiency Bonus |
+|-------|-------------------|-------------------|
+| 1     | 0                 | +2                |
+| 2     | 300               | +2                |
+| 3     | 900               | +2                |
+| 4     | 2,700             | +2                |
+| 5     | 6,500             | +3                |
+| 6     | 14,000            | +3                |
+| 7     | 23,000            | +3                |
+| 8     | 34,000            | +3                |
+| 9     | 48,000            | +4                |
+| 10    | 64,000            | +4                |
+| 11    | 85,000            | +4                |
+| 12    | 100,000           | +4                |

+
+### Gaining a Level
+
+When you gain a level, follow these steps:
+
+1. **Choose a Class.** Most characters advance in the same class. However, you might decide to gain a level in another class using the rules in the "Multiclassing" section.
+2. **Adjust Hit Points and Hit Point Dice.** Each time you gain a level, you gain an additional Hit Die. Roll that die, add your Constitution modifier to the roll, and add the total (minimum of 1) to your Hit Point maximum. Instead of rolling, you can use the fixed value shown in the Fixed Hit Points by Class table.
+
+Table: Fixed Hit Points by Class
+
+| Class                                           | Hit Points per Level |
+|-------------------------------------------------|----------------------|
+| Barbarian                                       | 7 + Con. modifier    |
+| Fighter, Paladin, or Ranger                     | 6 + Con. modifier    |
+| Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Rogue, or Warlock    | 5 + Con. modifier    |
+| Sorcerer or Wizard                              | 4 + Con. modifier    |
+
+3. **Record New Class Features.** Look at your class features table in "Classes," and note the features you gain at your new level in that class. Make any choices offered by a new feature.
+4. **Adjust Proficiency Bonus.** A character's Proficiency Bonus increases at certain levels, as shown in the Character Advancement table and your class features table in "Classes." When your Proficiency Bonus increases, increase all the numbers on your character sheet that include your Proficiency Bonus.
+5. **Adjust Ability Modifiers.** If you choose a feat that increases one or more of your ability scores, your ability modifier also changes if the new score is an even number. When that happens, adjust all the numbers on your character sheet that use that ability modifier. When your Constitution modifier increases by 1, your Hit Point maximum increases by 1 for each level you have attained. For example, if a character reaches level 8 and increases their Constitution score from 17 to 18, the Constitution modifier increases to +4. The character's Hit Point maximum then increases by 8, in addition to the Hit Points gained for reaching level 8.
+
+### Tiers of Play
+
+With each new level, characters acquire new capabilities that equip them to handle greater challenges. As characters advance in level, the tone of the game also changes, and the stakes of the campaign get higher. It's helpful to think of a character's (and a campaign's) arc in terms of four tiers of play, describing the journey from a level 1 character just beginning an adventuring career to the epic heights of level 20. These tiers don't have any rules associated with them; they point to the fact that the play experience evolves as characters gain levels.
+
+#### Tier 1 (Levels 1–4)
+
+In tier 1, characters are apprentice adventurers, though they are already set apart from the broader populace by virtue of their extraordinary abilities. They learn their starting class features and choose a subclass. The threats they face usually pose a danger to local farmsteads or villages.
+
+#### Tier 2 (Levels 5–10)
+
+In tier 2, characters are full-fledged adventurers. Spellcasters gain iconic spells such as *Fireball*, *Lightning Bolt*, and *Raise Dead*. Most weapon-focused classes gain the ability to make multiple attacks in a round. The characters now face dangers that threaten cities and kingdoms.
+
+#### Tier 3 (Levels 11–16)
+
+In tier 3, characters have reached a level of power that makes them special among adventurers. At level 11, many spellcasters learn reality-altering spells. Other characters gain features that allow them to make more attacks or to do more impressive things with those attacks. These adventurers often confront threats to whole regions.
+
+#### Tier 4 (Levels 17–20)
+
+At tier 4, characters achieve the pinnacle of their class features, becoming heroic archetypes. The fate of the world or even the order of the multiverse might hang in the balance during their adventures.
+
+## Starting at Higher Levels
+
+Your GM might start your group's characters at a level higher than 1. It is particularly recommended to start at level 3 if your group is composed of seasoned D&D players.
+
+### Creating Your Character
+
+Creating a higher-level character uses the same character-creation steps outlined in this chapter and the rules for advancing beyond level 1 provided in the "Level Advancement" section. You begin with the minimum amount of XP required to reach your starting level. For example, if the GM starts you at level 10, you have 64,000 XP.
+
+> ### **Bonus Feats at Level 20**
+>
+> A GM can use feats as a form of advancement after characters reach level 20 to provide greater power to characters who have no more levels to gain. With this approach, each character gains one feat of their choice for every 30,000 XP the character earns above 355,000 XP. Epic Boon feats are especially appropriate for these bonus feats, but a player can choose any feat for which their level 20 character qualifies.
+
+### **Starting Equipment**
+
+The GM decides whether your character starts with more than the standard equipment for a level 1 character, possibly even one or more magic items. The Starting Equipment at Higher Levels table is a guide for the GM.
+
+Also, check with your GM about what equipment is available for you to buy with your starting money. For example, the firearms described in "Equipment" are too expensive for level 1 characters, but they might be available for purchase if your GM allows them.
+
+Table: Starting Equipment at Higher Levels
+
+| Starting Level | Equipment and Money                                            | Magic Items                               |
+|----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
+| 2–4            | Normal starting equipment                                      | 1 Common                                  |
+| 5–10           | 500 GP plus 1d10 × 25 GP plus normal starting equipment        | 1 Common, 1 Uncommon                      |
+| 11–16          | 5,000 gp plus 1d10 × 250 GP plus normal starting equipment     | 2 Common, 3 Uncommon, 1 Rare              |
+| 17–20          | 20,000 GP plus 1d10 × 250 GP plus normal starting equipment    | 2 Common, 4 Uncommon, 3 Rare, 1 Very Rare |
+
+## Multiclassing
+
+Multiclassing allows you to gain levels in multiple classes. 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. Doing so lets you mix the abilities of those classes to realize a character concept that might not be reflected in a single class.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+To qualify for a new class, you must have a score of at least 13 in the primary ability of the new class and your current classes. For example, a Barbarian who decides to multiclass into the Druid class must have Strength and Wisdom scores of 13 or higher, since Strength is the primary ability for Barbarians and Wisdom is the primary ability for Druids.
+
+### Experience Points
+
+The Experience Point cost to gain a level is based on your total character level, not your level in a particular class, as shown in the Character Advancement table in "Character Creation." For example, if you are a level 6 Cleric / level 1 Fighter, you must gain enough XP to reach level 8 before you can take your second level as a Fighter or your seventh level as a Cleric.
+
+### Hit Points and Hit Point Dice
+
+You gain the Hit Points from your new class as described for levels after 1. You gain the level 1 Hit Points for a class only when your total character level is 1.
+
+Add together the Hit Dice granted by all your classes to form your pool of Hit Dice. If these dice are the same die type, you can pool them together. For example, both the Fighter and the Paladin have a d10 Hit Die, so if you are a level 5 Fighter / level 5 Paladin, you have ten d10 Hit Dice. If your classes give you Hit Dice of different types, track them separately. If you are a level 5 Cleric / level 5 Paladin, for example, you have five d8 Hit Dice and five d10 Hit Dice.
+
+### Proficiency Bonus
+
+Your Proficiency Bonus is based on your total character level, not your level in a particular class, as shown in the Character Advancement table. For example, if you are a level 3 Fighter / level 2 Rogue, you have the Proficiency Bonus of a level 5 character, which is +3.
+
+### Proficiencies
+
+When you gain your first level in a class other than your initial class, you gain only some of the new class's starting proficiencies, as detailed in each class's description in "Classes."
+
+### Class Features
+
+When you gain a new level in a class, you get its features for that level. A few features have additional rules when you're multiclassing. Check the information about multiclassing included in each of your classes' descriptions.
+
+Special rules apply to Extra Attack, Spellcasting, and features (such as Unarmored Defense) that give you alternative ways to calculate your Armor Class.
+
+#### Armor Class
+
+If you have multiple ways to calculate your Armor Class, you can benefit from only one at a time. For example, a Monk/Sorcerer with a Monk's Unarmored Defense feature and a Sorcerer's Draconic Resilience feature must choose only one of those features as a way to calculate Armor Class.
+
+#### Extra Attack
+
+If you gain the Extra Attack feature from more than one class, the features don't stack. You can't make more than two attacks with this feature unless you have a feature that says you can (such as the Fighter's Two Extra Attacks feature).
+
+Similarly, the Warlock's Thirsting Blade invocation, which grants you the Extra Attack feature with your pact weapon, doesn't give you additional attacks if you also have Extra Attack.
+
+#### Spellcasting
+
+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, follow the rules for that class.
+
+**Spells Prepared.** You determine what spells you can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are a level 4 Ranger / level 3 Sorcerer, for example, you can prepare five level 1 Ranger spells, and you can prepare six Sorcerer spells of level 1 or 2 (as well as four Sorcerer cantrips).
+
+Each spell you prepare is associated with one of your classes, and you use the spellcasting ability of that class when you cast the spell.
+
+**Cantrips.** If a cantrip of yours increases in power at higher levels, the increase is based on your total character level, not your level in a particular class, unless the spell says otherwise.
+
+**Spell Slots.** You determine your available spell slots by adding together the following:
+
+- All your levels in the Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, and Wizard classes
+- Half your levels (round up) in the Paladin and Ranger classes
+
+Then look up this total level in the Level column of the Multiclass Spellcaster table. You use the slots for that level to cast spells of an appropriate level from any class whose Spellcasting feature you have.
+
+This table might give you spell slots of a higher level than the spells you prepare. You can use those slots but only to cast your lower-level spells. If a lower-level spell that you cast, like *Burning Hands*, has an enhanced effect when cast at a higher level, you can use the enhanced effect as normal.
+
+For example, if you are a level 4 Ranger / level 3 Sorcerer, you count as a level 5 character when determining your spell slots, counting all your levels as a Sorcerer and half your Ranger levels. As shown in the Multiclass Spellcaster table, you have four level 1 spell slots, three level 2 slots, and two level 3 slots. However, you can't prepare any level 3 spells, nor can you prepare any level 2 Ranger spells. You can use the spell slots of those levels to cast the spells you do prepare—and potentially enhance their effects.
+
+**Pact Magic.** If you have the Pact Magic feature from the Warlock class and the Spellcasting feature, you can use the spell slots you gain from Pact Magic to cast spells you have prepared from classes with the Spellcasting feature, and you can use the spell slots you gain from the Spellcasting feature to cast Warlock spells you have prepared.

+
+## Trinkets
+
+When you make your character, you can roll once on the Trinkets table to gain a Tiny trinket, a simple item lightly touched by mystery. The GM might also use this table. It can help stock a room in a dungeon or fill a creature's pockets.

+
+#### Level 1: Rage
+
+You can imbue yourself with a primal power called Rage, a force that grants you extraordinary might and resilience. You can enter it as a Bonus Action if you aren't wearing Heavy armor.
+
+You can enter your Rage the number of times shown for your Barbarian level in the Rages column of the Barbarian Features table. You regain one expended use when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+While active, your Rage follows the rules below. *Damage Resistance.* You have Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage.
+
+**Rage Damage.** When you make an attack using Strength—with either a weapon or an Unarmed Strike—and deal damage to the target, you gain a bonus to the damage that increases as you gain levels as a Barbarian, as shown in the Rage Damage column of the Barbarian Features table.
+
+**Strength Advantage.** You have Advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
+
+**No Concentration or Spells.** You can't maintain Concentration, and you can't cast spells.
+
+**Duration.** The Rage lasts until the end of your next turn, and it ends early if you don Heavy armor or have the Incapacitated condition. If your Rage is still active on your next turn, you can extend the Rage for another round by doing one of the following:
+
+- Make an attack roll against an enemy.
+- Force an enemy to make a saving throw.
+- Take a Bonus Action to extend your Rage.
+
+Each time the Rage is extended, it lasts until the end of your next turn. You can maintain a Rage for up to 10 minutes.
+
+#### Level 1: Unarmored Defense
+
+While you aren't wearing any armor, your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Dexterity and Constitution modifiers. You can use a Shield and still gain this benefit.
+
+#### Level 1: Weapon Mastery
+
+Your training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of Simple or Martial Melee weapons of your choice, such as Greataxes and Handaxes. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can practice weapon drills and change one of those weapon choices.
+
+When you reach certain Barbarian levels, you gain the ability to use the mastery properties of more kinds of weapons, as shown in the Weapon Mastery column of the Barbarian Features table.
+
+#### Level 2: Danger Sense
+
+You gain an uncanny sense of when things aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge perils. You have Advantage on Dexterity saving throws unless you have the Incapacitated condition.
+
+#### Level 2: Reckless Attack
+
+You can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with increased ferocity. When you make your first attack roll on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you Advantage on attack rolls using Strength until the start of your next turn, but attack rolls against you have Advantage during that time.
+
+#### Level 3: Barbarian Subclass
+
+You gain a Barbarian subclass of your choice. The Path of the Berserker subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Barbarian levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Barbarian level or lower.
+
+### Level 3: Primal Knowledge
+
+You gain proficiency in another skill of your choice from the skill list available to Barbarians at level 1.
+
+In addition, while your Rage is active, you can channel primal power when you attempt certain tasks; whenever you make an ability check using one of the following skills, you can make it as a Strength check even if it normally uses a different ability: Acrobatics, Intimidation, Perception, Stealth, or Survival. When you use this ability, your Strength represents primal power coursing through you, honing your agility, bearing, and senses.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Barbarian levels 8, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 5: Extra Attack
+
+You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
+
+#### Level 5: Fast Movement
+
+Your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing Heavy armor.
+
+#### Level 7: Feral Instinct
+
+Your instincts are so honed that you have Advantage on Initiative rolls.
+
+#### Level 7: Instinctive Pounce
+
+As part of the Bonus Action you take to enter your Rage, you can move up to half your Speed.
+
+#### Level 9: Brutal Strike
+
+If you use Reckless Attack, you can forgo any Advantage on one Strength-based attack roll of your choice on your turn. The chosen attack roll mustn't have Disadvantage. If the chosen attack roll hits, the target takes an extra 1d10 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon or Unarmed Strike, and you can cause one Brutal Strike effect of your choice. You have the following effect options.
+
+**Forceful Blow.** The target is pushed 15 feet straight away from you. You can then move up to half your Speed straight toward the target without provoking Opportunity Attacks.
+
+**Hamstring Blow.** The target's Speed is reduced by 15 feet until the start of your next turn. A target can be affected by only one Hamstring Blow at a time the most recent one.
+
+#### Level 11: Relentless Rage
+
+Your Rage can keep you fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 Hit Points while your Rage is active and don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, your Hit Points instead change to a number equal to twice your Barbarian level.
+
+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.
+
+#### Level 13: Improved Brutal Strike
+
+You have honed new ways to attack furiously. The following effects are now among your Brutal Strike options.
+
+**Staggering Blow.** The target has Disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes, and it can't make Opportunity Attacks until the start of your next turn.
+
+**Sundering Blow.** Before the start of your next turn, the next attack roll made by another creature against the target gains a +5 bonus to the roll. An attack roll can gain only one Sundering Blow bonus.
+
+#### Level 15: Persistent Rage
+
+When you roll Initiative, you can regain all expended uses of Rage. After you regain uses of Rage in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+In addition, your Rage is so fierce that it now lasts for 10 minutes without you needing to do anything to extend it from round to round. Your Rage ends early if you have the Unconscious condition (not just the Incapacitated condition) or don Heavy armor.
+
+#### Level 17: Improved Brutal Strike
+
+The extra damage of your Brutal Strike increases to 2d10. In addition, you can use two different Brutal Strike effects whenever you use your Brutal Strike feature.
+
+#### Level 18: Indomitable Might
+
+If your total for a Strength check or Strength saving throw is less than your Strength score, you can use that score in place of the total.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Irresistible Offense is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Primal Champion
+
+You embody primal power. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 4, to a maximum of 25.
+
+### Barbarian Subclass: Path of the Berserker
+
+*Channel Rage into Violent Fury*
+
+Barbarians who walk the Path of the Berserker direct their Rage primarily toward violence. Their path is one of untrammeled fury, and they thrill in the chaos of battle as they allow their Rage to seize and empower them.
+
+#### Level 3: Frenzy
+
+If you use Reckless Attack while your Rage is active, you deal extra damage to the first target you hit on your turn with a Strength-based attack. To determine the extra damage, roll a number of d6s equal to your Rage Damage bonus, and add them together. The damage has the same type as the weapon or Unarmed Strike used for the attack.
+
+#### Level 6: Mindless Rage
+
+You have Immunity to the Charmed and Frightened conditions while your Rage is active. If you're Charmed or Frightened when you enter your Rage, the condition ends on you.
+
+#### Level 10: Retaliation
+
+When you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can take a Reaction to make one melee attack against that creature, using a weapon or an Unarmed Strike.
+
+#### Level 14: Intimidating Presence
+
+As a Bonus Action, you can strike terror into others with your menacing presence and primal power. When you do so, each creature of your choice in a 30-foot Emanation originating from you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 plus your Strength modifier and Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save, a creature has the Frightened condition for 1 minute. At the end of each of the Frightened creature's turns, the creature repeats the save, ending the effect on itself on a success.
+
+Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you expend a use of your Rage (no action required) to restore your use of it.

+
+#### Level 1: Bardic Inspiration
+
+You can supernaturally inspire others through words, music, or dance. This inspiration is represented by your Bardic Inspiration die, which is a d6.
+
+**Using Bardic Inspiration.** As a Bonus Action, you can inspire another creature within 60 feet of yourself who can see or hear you. That creature gains one of your Bardic Inspiration dice. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.
+
+Once within the next hour when the creature fails a D20 Test, the creature can roll the Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to the d20, potentially turning the failure into a success. A Bardic Inspiration die is expended when it's rolled.
+
+**Number of Uses.** You can confer a Bardic Inspiration die a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+**At Higher Levels.** Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain Bard levels, as shown in the Bardic Die column of the Bard Features table. The die becomes a d8 at level 5, a d10 at level 10, and a d12 at level 15.
+
+#### Level 1: Spellcasting
+
+You have learned to cast spells through your bardic arts. See "Spells" for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Bard spells, which appear in the Bard spell list later in the class's description.
+
+**Cantrips.** You know two cantrips of your choice from the Bard spell list. *Dancing Lights* and *Vicious Mockery* are recommended.
+
+Whenever you gain a Bard level, you can replace one of your cantrips with another cantrip of your choice from the Bard spell list.
+
+When you reach Bard levels 4 and 10, you learn another cantrip of your choice from the Bard spell list, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Bard Features table.
+
+**Spell Slots.** The Bard Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+**Prepared Spells of Level 1+.** You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose four level 1 spells from the Bard spell list. *Charm Person*, *Color Spray*, *Dissonant Whispers*, and *Healing Word* are recommended.
+
+The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Bard levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Bard Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional spells from the Bard spell list until the number of spells on your list matches the number on the table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you're a level 3 Bard, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of levels 1 and 2 in any combination.
+
+If another Bard feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Bard spells for you.
+
+**Changing Your Prepared Spells.** Whenever you gain a Bard level, you can replace one spell on your list with another Bard spell for which you have spell slots.
+
+**Spellcasting Ability.** Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Bard spells.
+
+**Spellcasting Focus.** You can use a Musical Instrument as a Spellcasting Focus for your Bard spells.
+
+#### Level 2: Expertise
+
+You gain Expertise (see "Rules Glossary") in two of your skill proficiencies of your choice. Performance and Persuasion are recommended if you have proficiency in them.
+
+At Bard level 9, you gain Expertise in two more of your skill proficiencies of your choice.
+
+#### Level 2: Jack of All Trades
+
+You can add half your Proficiency Bonus (round down) to any ability check you make that uses a skill proficiency you lack and that doesn't otherwise use your Proficiency Bonus.
+
+For example, if you make a Strength (Athletics) check and lack Athletics proficiency, you can add half your Proficiency Bonus to the check.
+
+#### Level 3: Bard Subclass
+
+You gain a Bard subclass of your choice. The College of Lore subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Bard levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Bard level or lower.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Bard levels 8, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 5: Font of Inspiration
+
+You now regain all your expended uses of Bardic Inspiration when you finish a Short or Long Rest.
+
+In addition, you can expend a spell slot (no action required) to regain one expended use of Bardic Inspiration.
+
+#### Level 7: Countercharm
+
+You can use musical notes or words of power to disrupt mind-influencing effects. If you or a creature within 30 feet of you fails a saving throw against an effect that applies the Charmed or Frightened condition, you can take a Reaction to cause the save to be rerolled, and the new roll has Advantage.
+
+#### Level 10: Magical Secrets
+
+You've learned secrets from various magical traditions. Whenever you reach a Bard level (including this level) and the Prepared Spells number in the Bard Features table increases, you can choose any of your new prepared spells from the Bard, Cleric, Druid, and Wizard spell lists, and the chosen spells count as Bard spells for you (see a class's section for its spell list). In addition, whenever you replace a spell prepared for this class, you can replace it with a spell from those lists.
+
+#### Level 18: Superior Inspiration
+
+When you roll Initiative, you regain expended uses of Bardic Inspiration until you have two if you have fewer than that.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Spell Recall is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Words of Creation
+
+You have mastered two of the Words of Creation: the words of life and death. You therefore always have the *Power Word Heal* and *Power Word Kill*  spells prepared. When you cast either spell, you can target a second creature with it if that creature is within 10 feet of the first target.

+### **Bard Subclass: College of Lore**
+
+*Plumb the Depths of Magical Knowledge*
+
+Bards of the College of Lore collect spells and secrets from diverse sources, such as scholarly tomes, mystical rites, and peasant tales. The college's members gather in libraries and universities 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.
+
+#### Level 3: Bonus Proficiencies
+
+You gain proficiency with three skills of your choice.
+
+#### Level 3: Cutting Words
+
+You learn to use your wit to supernaturally distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of yourself makes a damage roll or succeeds on an ability check or attack roll, you can take a Reaction to expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration; roll your Bardic Inspiration die, and subtract the number rolled from the creature's roll, reducing the damage or potentially turning the success into a failure.
+
+#### Level 6: Magical Discoveries
+
+You learn two spells of your choice. These spells can come from the Cleric, Druid, or Wizard spell list or any combination thereof (see a class's section for its spell list). A spell you choose must be a cantrip or a spell for which you have spell slots, as shown in the Bard Features table.
+
+You always have the chosen spells prepared, and whenever you gain a Bard level, you can replace one of the spells with another spell that meets these requirements.
+
+#### Level 14: Peerless Skill
+
+When you make an ability check or attack roll and fail, you can expend one use of Bardic Inspiration; roll the Bardic Inspiration die, and add the number rolled to the d20, potentially turning a failure into a success. On a failure, the Bardic Inspiration isn't expended.

+
+#### Level 1: Spellcasting
+
+You have learned to cast spells through prayer and meditation. See "Spells" for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Cleric spells, which appear on the Cleric spell list later in the class's description.
+
+**Cantrips.** You know three cantrips of your choice from the Cleric spell list. *Guidance*, *Sacred Flame*, and *Thaumaturgy* are recommended.
+
+Whenever you gain a Cleric level, you can replace one of your cantrips with another cantrip of your choice from the Cleric spell list.
+
+When you reach Cleric levels 4 and 10, you learn another cantrip of your choice from the Cleric spell list, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Cleric Features table.
+
+**Spell Slots.** The Cleric Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+**Prepared Spells of Level 1+.** You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose four level 1 spells from the Cleric spell list. *Bless*, *Cure Wounds*, *Guiding Bolt*, and *Shield of Faith* are recommended.
+
+The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Cleric levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Cleric Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional spells from the Cleric spell list until the number of spells on your list matches the number on the table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you're a level 3 Cleric, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of levels 1 and 2 in any combination.
+
+If another Cleric feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Cleric spells for you.
+
+**Changing Your Prepared Spells.** Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change your list of prepared spells, replacing any of the spells there with other Cleric spells for which you have spell slots.
+
+**Spellcasting Ability.** Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Cleric spells.
+
+**Spellcasting Focus.** You can use a Holy Symbol as a Spellcasting Focus for your Cleric spells.
+
+#### Level 1: Divine Order
+
+You have dedicated yourself to one of the following sacred roles of your choice.
+
+**Protector.** Trained for battle, you gain proficiency with Martial weapons and training with Heavy armor.
+
+**Thaumaturge.** You know one extra cantrip from the Cleric spell list. In addition, your mystical connection to the divine gives you a bonus to your Intelligence (Arcana or Religion) checks. The bonus equals your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1).
+
+#### Level 2: Channel Divinity
+
+You can channel divine energy directly from the Outer Planes to fuel magical effects. You start with two such effects: Divine Spark and Turn Undead, each of which is described below. Each time you use this class's Channel Divinity, choose which Channel Divinity effect from this class to create. You gain additional effect options at higher Cleric levels.
+
+You can use this class's Channel Divinity twice. You regain one of its expended uses when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You gain additional uses when you reach certain Cleric levels, as shown in the Channel Divinity column of the Cleric Features table.
+
+If a Channel Divinity effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals the spell save DC from this class's Spellcasting feature.
+
+**Divine Spark.** As a Magic action, you point your Holy Symbol at another creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself and focus divine energy at it. Roll 1d8 and add your Wisdom modifier. You either restore Hit Points to the creature equal to that total or force the creature to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes Necrotic or Radiant damage (your choice) equal to that total. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage (round down).
+
+You roll an additional d8 when you reach Cleric levels 7 (2d8), 13 (3d8), and 18 (4d8).
+
+**Turn Undead.** As a Magic action, you present your Holy Symbol and censure Undead creatures. Each Undead of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its save, it has the Frightened and Incapacitated conditions for 1 minute. For that duration, it tries to move as far from you as it can on its turns. This effect ends early on the creature if it takes any damage, if you have the Incapacitated condition, or if you die.
+
+#### Level 3: Cleric Subclass
+
+You gain a Cleric subclass of your choice. The Life Domain subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Cleric levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Cleric level or lower.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Cleric levels 8, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 5: Sear Undead
+
+Whenever you use Turn Undead, you can roll a number of d8s equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1d8) and add the rolls together. Each Undead that fails its saving throw against that use of Turn Undead takes Radiant damage equal to the roll's total. This damage doesn't end the turn effect.
+
+#### Level 7: Blessed Strikes
+
+Divine power infuses you in battle. You gain one of the following options of your choice (if you get either option from a Cleric subclass in an older book, use only the option you choose for this feature).
+
+**Divine Strike.** Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with an attack roll using a weapon, you can cause the target to take an extra 1d8 Necrotic or Radiant damage (your choice).
+
+**Potent Spellcasting.** Add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any Cleric cantrip.
+
+#### Level 10: Divine Intervention
+
+You can call on your deity or pantheon to intervene on your behalf. As a Magic action, choose any Cleric spell of level 5 or lower that doesn't require a Reaction to cast. As part of the same action, you cast that spell without expending a spell slot or needing Material components. You can't use this feature again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 14: Improved Blessed Strikes
+
+The option you chose for Blessed Strikes grows more powerful.
+
+**Divine Strike.** The extra damage of your Divine Strike increases to 2d8.
+
+**Potent Spellcasting.** When you cast a Cleric cantrip and deal damage to a creature with it, you can give vitality to yourself or another creature within 60 feet of yourself, granting a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to twice your Wisdom modifier.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Fate is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Greater Divine Intervention
+
+You can call on even more powerful divine intervention. When you use your Divine Intervention feature, you can choose *Wish* when you select a spell. If you do so, you can't use Divine Intervention again until you finish 2d4 Long Rests.
+
+### Cleric Spell List
+
+This section presents the Cleric spell list. The spells are organized by spell level and then alphabetized, and each spell's school of magic is listed. In the Special column, *C* means the spell requires Concentration, *R* means it's a Ritual, and *M* means it requires a specific Material component.

+### Cleric Subclass: Life Domain
+
+*Soothe the Hurts of the World*
+
+The Life Domain focuses on the positive energy that helps sustain all life in the multiverse. Clerics who tap into this domain are masters of healing, using that life force to cure many hurts.
+
+Existence itself relies on the positive energy associated with this domain, so a Cleric of almost any religious tradition might choose it. This domain is particularly associated with agricultural deities, gods of healing or endurance, and gods of home and community. Religious orders of healing also seek the magic of this domain.
+
+#### Level 3: Disciple of Life
+
+When a spell you cast with a spell slot restores Hit Points to a creature, that creature regains additional Hit Points on the turn you cast the spell. The additional Hit Points equal 2 plus the spell slot's level.
+
+#### Level 3: Life Domain Spells
+
+Your connection to this divine domain ensures you always have certain spells ready. When you reach a Cleric level specified in the Life Domain Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.
+
+Table: Life Domain Spells
+
+| Cleric Level    | Prepared Spells                                |
+|-----------------|------------------------------------------------|
+| 3               | Aid, Bless, Cure Wounds, Lesser Restoration    |
+| 5               | Mass Healing Word, Revivify                    |
+| 7               | Aura of Life, Death Ward                       |
+| 9               | Greater Restoration, Mass Cure Wounds          |
+
+#### Level 3: Preserve Life
+
+As a Magic action, you present your Holy Symbol and expend a use of your Channel Divinity to evoke healing energy that can restore a number of Hit Points equal to five times your Cleric level. Choose Bloodied creatures within 30 feet of yourself (which can include you), and divide those Hit Points among them. This feature can restore a creature to no more than half its Hit Point maximum.
+
+#### Level 6: Blessed Healer
+
+The healing spells you cast on others heal you as well. Immediately after you cast a spell with a spell slot that restores Hit Points to one or more creatures other than yourself, you regain Hit Points equal to 2 plus the spell slot's level.
+
+#### Level 17: Supreme Healing
+
+When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore Hit Points to a creature with a spell or Channel Divinity, don't roll those dice for the healing; instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 Hit Points to a creature with a spell, you restore 12.

+
+#### Level 1: Spellcasting
+
+You have learned to cast spells through studying the mystical forces of nature. See "Spells" for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Druid spells, which appear on the Druid spell list later in the class's description.
+
+**Cantrips.** You know two cantrips of your choice from the Druid spell list. *Druidcraft* and *Produce Flame* are recommended.
+
+Whenever you gain a Druid level, you can replace one of your cantrips with another cantrip of your choice from the Druid spell list.
+
+When you reach Druid levels 4 and 10, you learn another cantrip of your choice from the Druid spell list, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Druid Features table.
+
+**Spell Slots.** The Druid Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+**Prepared Spells of Level 1+.** You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose four level 1 spells from the Druid spell list. *Animal Friendship*, *Cure Wounds*, *Faerie Fire*, and *Thunderwave* are recommended.
+
+The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Druid levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Druid Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional spells from the Druid spell list until the number of spells on your list matches the number on the table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you're a level 3 Druid, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of levels 1 and 2 in any combination.
+
+If another Druid feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Druid spells for you.
+
+**Changing Your Prepared Spells.** Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change your list of prepared spells, replacing any of the spells with other Druid spells for which you have spell slots.
+
+**Spellcasting Ability.** Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Druid spells.
+
+**Spellcasting Focus.** You can use a Druidic Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your Druid spells.
+
+#### Level 1: Druidic
+
+You know Druidic, the secret language of Druids. While learning this ancient tongue, you also unlocked the magic of communicating with animals; you always have the *Speak with Animals* spell prepared.
+
+You can use Druidic to leave hidden messages. You and others who know Druidic automatically spot such a message. Others spot the message's presence with a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check but can't decipher it without magic.
+
+#### Level 1: Primal Order
+
+You have dedicated yourself to one of the following sacred roles of your choice.
+
+**Magician.** You know one extra cantrip from the Druid spell list. In addition, your mystical connection to nature gives you a bonus to your Intelligence (Arcana or Nature) checks. The bonus equals your Wisdom modifier (minimum bonus of +1).
+
+**Warden.** Trained for battle, you gain proficiency with Martial weapons and training with Medium armor.
+
+#### Level 2: Wild Shape
+
+The power of nature allows you to assume the form of an animal. As a Bonus Action, you shape-shift into a Beast form that you have learned for this feature (see "Known Forms" below). You stay in that form for a number of hours equal to half your Druid level or until you use Wild Shape again, have the Incapacitated condition, or die. You can also leave the form early as a Bonus Action.
+
+**Number of Uses.** You can use Wild Shape twice. You regain one expended use when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+You gain additional uses when you reach certain Druid levels, as shown in the Wild Shape column of the Druid Features table.
+
+**Known Forms.** You know four Beast forms for this feature, chosen from among Beast stat blocks that have a maximum Challenge Rating of 1/4 and that lack a Fly Speed (see "Animals" in "Monsters" for stat block options). The **Rat**, **Riding Horse**, **Spider**, and **Wolf** are recommended. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one of your known forms with another eligible form.
+
+When you reach certain Druid levels, your number of known forms and the maximum Challenge Rating for those forms increases, as shown in the Beast Shapes table. In addition, starting at level 8, you can adopt a form that has a Fly Speed.
+
+When choosing known forms, you may look in other sources for eligible Beasts if the Game Master permits you to do so.
+
+Table: Beast Shapes
+
+| Druid Level    | Known Forms    | Max CR    | Fly Speed |
+|----------------|----------------|-----------|-----------|
+| 2              | 4              | 1/4       | No        |
+| 4              | 6              | 1/2       | No        |
+| 8              | 8              | 1         | Yes       |
+
+**Rules While Shape-Shifted.** While in a form, you retain your personality, memories, and ability to speak, and the following rules apply:
+
+- **Temporary Hit Points.** When you assume a Wild Shape form, you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to your Druid level.
+- **Game Statistics.** Your game statistics are replaced by the Beast's stat block, but you retain your creature type; Hit Points; Hit Point Dice; Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores; class features; languages; and feats. You also retain your skill and saving throw proficiencies and use your Proficiency Bonus for them, in addition to gaining the proficiencies of the creature. If a skill or saving throw modifier in the Beast's stat block is higher than yours, use the one in the stat block.
+- **No Spellcasting.** You can't cast spells, but shapeshifting doesn't break your Concentration or otherwise interfere with a spell you've already cast.
+- **Objects.** Your ability to handle objects is determined by the form's limbs rather than your own. In addition, you choose whether your equipment falls in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the GM decides whether it's practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment based on the creature's size and shape. 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 the form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect while you're in that form.
+
+#### Level 2: Wild Companion
+
+You can summon a nature spirit that assumes an animal form to aid you. As a Magic action, you can expend a spell slot or a use of Wild Shape to cast the *Find Familiar* spell without Material components.
+
+When you cast the spell in this way, the familiar is Fey and disappears when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 3: Druid Subclass
+
+You gain a Druid subclass of your choice. The Circle of the Land subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Druid levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Druid level or lower.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Druid levels 8, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 5: Wild Resurgence
+
+Once on each of your turns, if you have no uses of Wild Shape left, you can give yourself one use by expending a spell slot (no action required).
+
+In addition, you can expend one use of Wild Shape (no action required) to give yourself a level 1 spell slot, but you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 7: Elemental Fury
+
+The might of the elements flows through you. You gain one of the following options of your choice.
+
+**Potent Spellcasting.** Add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any Druid cantrip.
+
+**Primal Strike.** Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with an attack roll using a weapon or a Beast form's attack in Wild Shape, you can cause the target to take an extra 1d8 Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder damage (choose when you hit).
+
+#### Level 15: Improved Elemental Fury
+
+The option you chose for Elemental Fury grows more powerful, as detailed below.
+
+**Potent Spellcasting.** When you cast a Druid cantrip with a range of 10 feet or greater, the spell's range increases by 300 feet.
+
+**Primal Strike.** The extra damage of your Primal Strike increases to 2d8.
+
+#### Level 18: Beast Spells
+
+While using Wild Shape, you can cast spells in Beast form, except for any spell that has a Material component with a cost specified or that consumes its Material component.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Dimensional Travel is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Archdruid
+
+The vitality of nature constantly blooms within you, granting you the following benefits.
+
+**Evergreen Wild Shape.** Whenever you roll Initiative and have no uses of Wild Shape left, you regain one expended use of it.
+
+**Nature Magician.** You can convert uses of Wild Shape into a spell slot (no action required). Choose a number of your unexpended uses of Wild Shape and convert them into a single spell slot, with each use contributing 2 spell levels. For example, if you convert two uses of Wild Shape, you produce a level 4 spell slot. Once you use this benefit, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+**Longevity.** The primal magic that you wield causes you to age more slowly. For every ten years that pass, your body ages only one year.
+
+### Druid Spell List

+### Druid Subclass: Circle of the Land
+
+*Celebrate Connection to the Natural World*
+
+The Circle of the Land comprises mystics and sages who safeguard ancient knowledge and rites. 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 their communities.
+
+#### Level 3: Circle of the Land Spells
+
+Whenever you finish a Long Rest, choose one type of land: arid, polar, temperate, or tropical. Consult the table below that corresponds to the chosen type; you have the spells listed for your Druid level and lower prepared.
+
+Table: Arid Land
+
+| Druid Level | Circle Spells                  |
+|-------------|--------------------------------|
+| 3           | Blur, Burning Hands, Fire Bolt |
+| 5           | Fireball                       |
+| 7           | Blight                         |

+|-------------|--------------------------------------|
+| 3           | Fog Cloud, Hold Person, Ray of Frost |
+| 5           | Sleet Storm                          |
+| 7           | Ice Storm                            |
+| 9           | Cone of Cold                         |
+
+Table: Temperate Land

+|-------------|-----------------------------------|
+| 3           | Misty Step, Shocking Grasp, Sleep |
+| 5           | Lightning Bolt                    |
+| 7           | Freedom of Movement               |
+| 9           | Tree Stride                       |
+
+Table: Tropical Land
+
+| Druid Level | Circle Spells                     |
+|-------------|-----------------------------------|
+| 3           | Acid Splash, Ray of Sickness, Web |
+| 5           | Stinking Cloud                    |
+| 7           | Polymorph                         |
+| 9           | Insect Plague                     |
+
+#### Level 3: Land's Aid
+
+As a Magic action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape and choose a point within 60 feet of yourself. Vitality-giving flowers and life-draining thorns appear for a moment in a 10-foot-radius Sphere centered on that point. Each creature of your choice in the Sphere must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d6 Necrotic damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. One creature of your choice in that area regains 2d6 Hit Points.
+
+The damage and healing increase by 1d6 when you reach Druid levels 10 (3d6) and 14 (4d6).
+
+#### Level 6: Natural Recovery
+
+You can cast one of the level 1+ spells that you have prepared from your Circle Spells feature without expending a spell slot, and you must finish a Long Rest before you do so again.
+
+In addition, 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 Druid level (round up), and none of them can be level 6+. For example, if you're a level 6 Druid, you can recover up to three levels' worth of spell slots. You can recover a level 3 spell slot, a level 2 and a level 1 spell slot, or three level 1 spell slots. Once you recover spell slots with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 10: Nature's Ward
+
+You are immune to the Poisoned condition, and you have Resistance to a damage type associated with your current land choice in the Circle Spells feature, as shown in the Nature's Ward table.
+
+Table: Nature's Ward
+
+| Land Type | Resistance | Land Type | Resistance |
+|-----------|------------|-----------|------------|
+| Arid      | Fire       | Temperate | Lightning  |
+| Polar     | Cold       | Tropical  | Poison     |
+
+#### Level 14: Nature's Sanctuary
+
+As a Magic action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape and cause spectral trees and vines to appear in a 15-foot Cube on the ground within 120 feet of yourself. They last there for 1 minute or until you have the Incapacitated condition or die. You and your allies have Half Cover while in that area, and your allies gain the current Resistance of your Nature's Ward while there.
+
+As a Bonus Action, you can move the Cube up to 60 feet to ground within 120 feet of yourself.

+
+#### Level 1: Fighting Style
+
+You have honed your martial prowess and gain a Fighting Style feat of your choice (see "Feats"). Defense is recommended.
+
+Whenever you gain a Fighter level, you can replace the feat you chose with a different Fighting Style feat.
+
+#### Level 1: Second Wind
+
+You have a limited well of physical and mental stamina that you can draw on. As a Bonus Action, you can use it to regain Hit Points equal to 1d10 plus your Fighter level.
+
+You can use this feature twice. You regain one expended use when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+When you reach certain Fighter levels, you gain more uses of this feature, as shown in the Second Wind column of the Fighter Features table.
+
+#### Level 1: Weapon Mastery
+
+Your training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of three kinds of Simple or Martial weapons of your choice. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can practice weapon drills and change one of those weapon choices.
+
+When you reach certain Fighter levels, you gain the ability to use the mastery properties of more kinds of weapons, as shown in the Weapon Mastery column of the Fighter Features table.
+
+#### Level 2: Action Surge
+
+You can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action, except the Magic action.
+
+Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Short or Long Rest. Starting at level 17, you can use it twice before a rest but only once on a turn.
+
+#### Level 2: Tactical Mind
+
+You have a mind for tactics on and off the battlefield. When you fail an ability check, you can expend a use of your Second Wind to push yourself toward success. Rather than regaining Hit Points, you roll 1d10 and add the number rolled to the ability check, potentially turning it into a success. If the check still fails, this use of Second Wind isn't expended.
+
+#### Level 3: Fighter Subclass
+
+You gain a Fighter subclass of your choice. The Champion subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Fighter levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Fighter level or lower.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Fighter levels 6, 8, 12, 14, and 16.
+
+#### Level 5: Extra Attack
+
+You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
+
+#### Level 5: Tactical Shift
+
+Whenever you activate your Second Wind with a Bonus Action, you can move up to half your Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.
+
+#### Level 9: Indomitable
+
+If you fail a saving throw, you can reroll it with a bonus equal to your Fighter level. You must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+You can use this feature twice before a Long Rest starting at level 13 and three times before a Long Rest starting at level 17.
+
+#### Level 9: Tactical Master
+
+When you attack with a weapon whose mastery property you can use, you can replace that property with the Push, Sap, or Slow property for that attack.
+
+#### Level 11: Two Extra Attacks
+
+You can attack three times instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
+
+#### Level 13: Studied Attacks
+
+You study your opponents and learn from each attack you make. If you make an attack roll against a creature and miss, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.
+
+### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Combat Prowess is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Three Extra Attacks
+
+You can attack four times instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
+
+### Fighter Subclass: Champion
+
+*Pursue Physical Excellence in Combat*
+
+A Champion focuses on the development of martial prowess in a relentless pursuit of victory. Champions combine rigorous training with physical excellence to deal devastating blows, withstand peril, and garner glory. Whether in athletic contests or bloody battle, Champions strive for the crown of the victor.
+
+#### Level 3: Improved Critical
+
+Your attack rolls with weapons and Unarmed Strikes can score a Critical Hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
+
+#### Level 3: Remarkable Athlete
+
+Thanks to your athleticism, you have Advantage on Initiative rolls and Strength (Athletics) checks.
+
+In addition, immediately after you score a Critical Hit, you can move up to half your Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.
+
+#### Level 7: Additional Fighting Style
+
+You gain another Fighting Style feat of your choice.
+
+#### Level 10: Heroic Warrior
+
+The thrill of battle drives you toward victory. During combat, you can give yourself Heroic Inspiration whenever you start your turn without it.
+
+#### Level 15: Superior Critical
+
+Your attack rolls with weapons and Unarmed Strikes can now score a Critical Hit on a roll of 18–20 on the d20.
+
+#### Level 18: Survivor
+
+You attain the pinnacle of resilience in battle, giving you these benefits.
+
+**Defy Death.** You have Advantage on Death Saving Throws. Moreover, when you roll 18–20 on a Death Saving Throw, you gain the benefit of rolling a 20 on it.
+
+**Heroic Rally.** At the start of each of your turns, you regain Hit Points equal to 5 plus your Constitution modifier if you are Bloodied and have at least 1 Hit Point.

+
+#### Level 1: Martial Arts
+
+Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use your Unarmed Strike and Monk weapons, which are the following:
+
+- Simple Melee weapons
+- Martial Melee weapons that have the Light property
+
+You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only Monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a Shield.
+
+**Bonus Unarmed Strike.** You can make an Unarmed Strike as a Bonus Action.
+
+**Martial Arts Die.** You can roll 1d6 in place of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strike or Monk weapons. This die changes as you gain Monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk Features table.
+
+**Dexterous Attacks.** You can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier for the attack and damage rolls of your Unarmed Strikes and Monk weapons. In addition, when you use the Grapple or Shove option of your Unarmed Strike, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to determine the save DC.
+
+#### Level 1: Unarmored Defense
+
+While you aren't wearing armor or wielding a Shield, your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Dexterity and Wisdom modifiers.
+
+#### Level 2: Monk's Focus
+
+Your focus and martial training allow you to harness a well of extraordinary energy within yourself. This energy is represented by Focus Points. Your Monk level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Focus Points column of the Monk Features table.
+
+You can expend these points to enhance or fuel certain Monk features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind, each of which is detailed below.
+
+When you expend a Focus Point, it is unavailable until you finish a Short or Long Rest, at the end of which you regain all your expended points.
+
+Some features that use Focus Points require your target to make a saving throw. The save DC equals 8 plus your Wisdom modifier and Proficiency Bonus.
+
+**Flurry of Blows.** You can expend 1 Focus Point to make two Unarmed Strikes as a Bonus Action.
+
+**Patient Defense.** You can take the Disengage action as a Bonus Action. Alternatively, you can expend 1 Focus Point to take both the Disengage and the Dodge actions as a Bonus Action.
+
+**Step of the Wind.** You can take the Dash action as a Bonus Action. Alternatively, you can expend 1 Focus Point to take both the Disengage and Dash actions as a Bonus Action, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.
+
+#### Level 2: Unarmored Movement
+
+Your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing armor or wielding a Shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain Monk levels, as shown on the Monk Features table.
+
+#### Level 2: Uncanny Metabolism
+
+When you roll Initiative, you can regain all expended Focus Points. When you do so, roll your Martial Arts die, and regain a number of Hit Points equal to your Monk level plus the number rolled.
+
+Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 3: Deflect Attacks
+
+When an attack roll hits you and its damage includes Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage, you can take a Reaction to reduce the attack's total damage against you. The reduction equals 1d10 plus your Dexterity modifier and Monk level.
+
+If you reduce the damage to 0, you can expend 1 Focus Point to redirect some of the attack's force. If you do so, choose a creature you can see within 5 feet of yourself if the attack was a melee attack or a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself that isn't behind Total Cover if the attack was a ranged attack. That creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take damage equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die plus your Dexterity modifier. The damage is the same type dealt by the attack.
+
+#### Level 3: Monk Subclass
+
+You gain a Monk subclass of your choice. The Warrior of the Open Hand subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Monk levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Monk level or lower.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Monk levels 8, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 4: Slow Fall
+
+You can take a Reaction when you fall to reduce any damage you take from the fall by an amount equal to five times your Monk level.
+
+#### Level 5: Extra Attack
+
+You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
+
+#### Level 5: Stunning Strike
+
+Once per turn when you hit a creature with a Monk weapon or an Unarmed Strike, you can expend 1 Focus Point to attempt a stunning strike. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target has the Stunned condition until the start of your next turn. On a successful save, the target's Speed is halved until the start of your next turn, and the next attack roll made against the target before then has Advantage.
+
+#### Level 6: Empowered Strikes
+
+Whenever you deal damage with your Unarmed Strike, it can deal your choice of Force damage or its normal damage type.
+
+#### Level 7: Evasion
+
+When you're 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.
+
+You don't benefit from this feature if you have the Incapacitated condition.
+
+#### Level 9: Acrobatic Movement
+
+While you aren't wearing armor or wielding a Shield, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the movement.
+
+#### Level 10: Heightened Focus
+
+Your Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind gain the following benefits.
+
+**Flurry of Blows.** You can expend 1 Focus Point to use Flurry of Blows and make three Unarmed Strikes with it instead of two.
+
+**Patient Defense.** When you expend a Focus Point to use Patient Defense, you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die.
+
+**Step of the Wind.** When you expend a Focus Point to use Step of the Wind, you can choose a willing creature within 5 feet of yourself that is Large or smaller. You move the creature with you until the end of your turn. The creature's movement doesn't provoke Opportunity Attacks.
+
+#### Level 10: Self-Restoration
+
+Through sheer force of will, you can remove one of the following conditions from yourself at the end of each of your turns: Charmed, Frightened, or Poisoned.
+
+In addition, forgoing food and drink doesn't give you levels of Exhaustion.
+
+#### Level 13: Deflect Energy
+
+You can now use your Deflect Attacks feature against attacks that deal any damage type, not just Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing.
+
+#### Level 14: Disciplined Survivor
+
+Your physical and mental discipline grant you proficiency in all saving throws.
+
+Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can expend 1 Focus Point to reroll it, and you must use the new roll.
+
+#### Level 15: Perfect Focus
+
+When you roll Initiative and don't use Uncanny Metabolism, you regain expended Focus Points until you have 4 if you have 3 or fewer.
+
+#### Level 18: Superior Defense
+
+At the start of your turn, you can expend 3 Focus Points to bolster yourself against harm for 1 minute or until you have the Incapacitated condition. During that time, you have Resistance to all damage except Force damage.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Irresistible Offense is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Body and Mind
+
+You have developed your body and mind to new heights. Your Dexterity and Wisdom scores increase by 4, to a maximum of 25.
+
+### Monk Subclass: Warrior of the Open Hand
+
+*Master Unarmed Combat Techniques*
+
+Warriors of the Open Hand are masters of unarmed combat. They learn techniques to push and trip their opponents and manipulate their own energy to protect themselves from harm.
+
+#### Level 3: Open Hand Technique
+
+Whenever you hit a creature with an attack granted by your Flurry of Blows, you can impose one of the following effects on that target.
+
+**Addle.** The target can't make Opportunity Attacks until the start of its next turn.
+
+**Push.** The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 15 feet away from you.
+
+**Topple.** The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have the Prone condition.
+
+#### Level 6: Wholeness of Body
+
+You gain the ability to heal yourself. As a Bonus Action, you can roll your Martial Arts die. You regain a number of Hit Points equal to the number rolled plus your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1 Hit Point regained).
+
+You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 11: Fleet Step
+
+When you take a Bonus Action other than Step of the Wind, you can also use Step of the Wind immediately after that Bonus Action.
+
+#### Level 17: Quivering Palm
+
+You gain the ability to set up lethal vibrations in someone's body. When you hit a creature with an Unarmed Strike, you can expend 4 Focus Points to start these imperceptible vibrations, which last for a number of days equal to your Monk level. The vibrations are harmless unless you take an action to end them. Alternatively, when you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of the attacks to end the vibrations. To end them, you and the target must be on the same plane of existence. When you end them, the target must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 10d12 Force damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
+
+You can have only one creature under the effect of this feature at a time. You can end the vibrations harmlessly (no action required).

+
+#### Level 1: Lay On Hands
+
+Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you finish a Long Rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of Hit Points equal to five times your Paladin level.
+
+As a Bonus Action, you can touch a creature (which could be yourself) and draw power from the pool of healing to restore a number of Hit Points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in the pool.
+
+You can also expend 5 Hit Points from the pool of healing power to remove the Poisoned condition from the creature; those points don't also restore Hit Points to the creature.
+
+#### Level 1: Spellcasting
+
+You have learned to cast spells through prayer and meditation. See "Spells" for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Paladin spells, which appear in the Paladin spell list later in the class's description.
+
+**Spell Slots.** The Paladin Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+**Prepared Spells of Level 1+**. You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 Paladin spells. *Heroism* and *Searing Smite* are recommended.
+
+The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Paladin levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Paladin Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Paladin spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the Paladin Features table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you're a level 5 Paladin, your list of prepared spells can include six Paladin spells of level 1 or 2 in any combination.
+
+If another Paladin feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Paladin spells for you.
+
+**Changing Your Prepared Spells.** Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one spell on your list with another Paladin spell for which you have spell slots.
+
+**Spellcasting Ability.** Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Paladin spells.
+
+**Spellcasting Focus.** You can use a Holy Symbol as a Spellcasting Focus for your Paladin spells.
+
+#### Level 1: Weapon Mastery
+
+Your training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of weapons of your choice with which you have proficiency, such as Longswords and Javelins.
+
+Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change the kinds of weapons you chose. For example, you could switch to using the mastery properties of Halberds and Flails.
+
+#### Level 2: Fighting Style
+
+You gain a Fighting Style feat of your choice (see "Feats" for feats). Instead of choosing one of those feats, you can choose the option below.
+
+**Blessed Warrior.** You learn two Cleric cantrips of your choice (see the Cleric class's section for a list of Cleric spells). *Guidance* and *Sacred Flame* are recommended. The chosen cantrips count as Paladin spells for you, and Charisma is your spellcasting ability for them. Whenever you gain a Paladin level, you can replace one of these cantrips with another Cleric cantrip.
+
+#### Level 2: Paladin's Smite
+
+You always have the *Divine Smite* spell prepared. In addition, you can cast it without expending a spell slot, but you must finish a Long Rest before you can cast it in this way again.
+
+#### Level 3: Channel Divinity
+
+You can channel divine energy directly from the Outer Planes, using it to fuel magical effects. You start with one such effect: Divine Sense, which is described below. Other Paladin features give additional Channel Divinity effect options. Each time you use this class's Channel Divinity, you choose which effect from this class to create.
+
+You can use this class's Channel Divinity twice. You regain one of its expended uses when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You gain an additional use when you reach Paladin level 11.
+
+If a Channel Divinity effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals the spell save DC from this class's Spellcasting feature.
+
+**Divine Sense.** As a Bonus Action, you can open your awareness to detect Celestials, Fiends, and Undead. For the next 10 minutes or until you have the Incapacitated condition, you know the location of any creature of those types within 60 feet of yourself, and you know its creature type. Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the *Hallow* spell.
+
+> ### Breaking Your Oath
+>
+> A Paladin tries to hold to the highest standards of conduct, but even the most dedicated are fallible. Sometimes a Paladin transgresses their oath.
+>
+> A Paladin who has broken a vow typically seeks absolution, spending an all-night vigil as a sign of penitence or undertaking a fast. After a rite of forgiveness, the Paladin starts fresh.
+>
+> If your Paladin unrepentantly violates their oath, talk to your GM. Your Paladin should probably take a more appropriate subclass or even abandon the class and adopt another one.
+
+#### Level 3: Paladin Subclass
+
+You gain a Paladin subclass of your choice. The Oath of Devotion subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Paladin levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Paladin level or lower.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Paladin levels 8, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 5: Extra Attack
+
+You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
+
+#### Level 5: Faithful Steed
+
+You can call on the aid of an otherworldly steed. You always have the *Find Steed* spell prepared.
+
+You can also cast the spell once without expending a spell slot, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 6: Aura of Protection
+
+You radiate a protective, unseeable aura in a 10-foot Emanation that originates from you. The aura is inactive while you have the Incapacitated condition.
+
+You and your allies in the aura gain a bonus to saving throws equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum bonus of +1).
+
+If another Paladin is present, a creature can benefit from only one Aura of Protection at a time; the creature chooses which aura while in them.
+
+#### Level 9: Abjure Foes
+
+As a Magic action, you can expend one use of this class's Channel Divinity to overwhelm foes with awe. As you present your Holy Symbol or weapon, you can target a number of creatures equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature) that you can see within 60 feet of yourself. Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have the Frightened condition for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. While Frightened in this way, a target can do only one of the following on its turns: move, take an action, or take a Bonus Action.
+
+#### Level 10: Aura of Courage
+
+You and your allies have Immunity to the Frightened condition while in your Aura of Protection. If a Frightened ally enters the aura, that condition has no effect on that ally while there.
+
+#### Level 11: Radiant Strikes
+
+Your strikes now carry supernatural power. When you hit a target with an attack roll using a Melee weapon or an Unarmed Strike, the target takes an extra 1d8 Radiant damage.
+
+#### Level 14: Restoring Touch
+
+When you use Lay On Hands on a creature, you can also remove one or more of the following conditions from the creature: Blinded, Charmed, Deafened, Frightened, Paralyzed, or Stunned. You must expend 5 Hit Points from the healing pool of Lay On Hands for each of these conditions you remove; those points don't also restore Hit Points to the creature.
+
+#### Level 18: Aura Expansion
+
+Your Aura of Protection is now a 30-foot Emanation.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Truesight is recommended.
+
+### Paladin Spell List
+
+This section presents the Paladin spell list. The spells are organized by spell level and then alphabetized, and each spell's school of magic is listed. In the Special column, *C* means the spell requires Concentration, *R* means it's a Ritual, and *M* means it requires a specific Material component.

+### Paladin Subclass: Oath of Devotion
+
+*Uphold the Ideals of Justice and Order*
+
+The Oath of Devotion binds Paladins to the ideals of justice and order. These Paladins meet the archetype of the knight in shining armor. 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 personal devotion. Others hold angels as their ideals and incorporate images of angelic wings into their helmets or coats of arms.
+
+These paladins share the following tenets:
+
+- Let your word be your promise.
+- Protect the weak and never fear to act.
+- Let your honorable deeds be an example.
+
+#### Level 3: Oath of Devotion Spells
+
+The magic of your oath ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Paladin level specified in the Oath of Devotion Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.
+
+Table: Oath of Devotion Spells
+
+| Paladin Level | Spells                                            |
+|---------------|---------------------------------------------------|
+| 3             | Protection from Evil and Good, Shield of Faith    |
+| 5             | Aid, Zone of Truth                                |
+| 9             | Beacon of Hope, Dispel Magic                      |
+| 13            | Freedom of Movement, Guardian of Faith            |
+| 17            | Commune, Flame Strike                             |
+
+#### Level 3: Sacred Weapon
+
+When you take the Attack action, you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity to imbue one Melee weapon that you are holding with positive energy. For 10 minutes or until you use this feature again, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls you make with that weapon (minimum bonus of +1), and each time you hit with it, you cause it to deal its normal damage type or Radiant damage.
+
+The weapon also emits Bright Light in a 20-foot radius and Dim Light 20 feet beyond that.
+
+You can end this effect early (no action required). This effect also ends if you aren't carrying the weapon.
+
+#### Level 7: Aura of Devotion
+
+You and your allies have Immunity to the Charmed condition while in your Aura of Protection. If a Charmed ally enters the aura, that condition has no effect on that ally while there.
+
+#### Level 15: Smite of Protection
+
+Your magical smite now radiates protective energy. Whenever you cast *Divine Smite*, you and your allies have Half Cover while in your Aura of Protection. The aura has this benefit until the start of your next turn.
+
+#### Level 20: Holy Nimbus
+
+As a Bonus Action, you can imbue your Aura of Protection with holy power, granting the benefits below for 10 minutes or until you end them (no action required). Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of it by expending a level 5 spell slot (no action required).
+
+**Holy Ward.** You have Advantage on any saving throw you are forced to make by a Fiend or an Undead.
+
+**Radiant Damage.** Whenever an enemy starts its turn in the aura, that creature takes Radiant damage equal to your Charisma modifier plus your Proficiency Bonus.
+
+**Sunlight.** The aura is filled with Bright Light that is sunlight.

+
+#### Level 1: Spellcasting
+
+You have learned to channel the magical essence of nature to cast spells. See "Spells" for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Ranger spells, which appear in the Ranger spell list later in the class's description.
+
+**Spell Slots.** The Ranger Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+**Prepared Spells of Level 1+**. You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 Ranger spells. *Cure Wounds* and *Ensnaring Strike* are recommended.
+
+The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Ranger levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Ranger Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Ranger spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the Ranger Features table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you're a level 5 Ranger, your list of prepared spells can include six Ranger spells of level 1 or 2 in any combination.
+
+If another Ranger feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Ranger spells for you.
+
+**Changing Your Prepared Spells.** Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one spell on your list with another Ranger spell for which you have spell slots.
+
+**Spellcasting Ability.** Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Ranger spells.
+
+**Spellcasting Focus.** You can use a Druidic Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your Ranger spells.
+
+#### Level 1: Favored Enemy
+
+You always have the *Hunter's Mark* spell prepared. You can cast it twice without expending a spell slot, and you regain all expended uses of this ability when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+The number of times you can cast the spell without a spell slot increases when you reach certain Ranger levels, as shown in the Favored Enemy column of the Ranger Features table.
+
+#### Level 1: Weapon Mastery
+
+Your training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of weapons of your choice with which you have proficiency, such as Longbows and Shortswords.
+
+Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change the kinds of weapons you chose. For example, you could switch to using the mastery properties of Scimitars and Longswords.
+
+#### Level 2: Deft Explorer
+
+Thanks to your travels, you gain the following benefits.
+
+**Expertise.** Choose one of your skill proficiencies with which you lack Expertise. You gain Expertise in that skill.
+
+**Languages.** You know two languages of your choice from the language tables in "Character Creation."
+
+#### Level 2: Fighting Style
+
+You gain a Fighting Style feat of your choice (see "Feats"). Instead of choosing one of those feats, you can choose the option below.
+
+**Druidic Warrior.** You learn two Druid cantrips of your choice (see the Druid class's section for a list of Druid spells). *Guidance* and *Starry Wisp* are recommended. The chosen cantrips count as Ranger spells for you, and Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for them. Whenever you gain a Ranger level, you can replace one of these cantrips with another Druid cantrip.
+
+#### Level 3: Ranger Subclass
+
+You gain a Ranger subclass of your choice. The Hunter subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Ranger levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Ranger level or lower.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Ranger levels 8, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 5: Extra Attack
+
+You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
+
+#### Level 6: Roving
+
+Your Speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing Heavy armor. You also have a Climb Speed and a Swim Speed equal to your Speed.
+
+#### Level 9: Expertise
+
+Choose two of your skill proficiencies with which you lack Expertise. You gain Expertise in those skills.
+
+#### Level 10: Tireless
+
+Primal forces now help fuel you on your journeys, granting you the following benefits.
+
+**Temporary Hit Points.** As a Magic action, you can give yourself a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to 1d8 plus your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). You can use this action a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+**Decrease Exhaustion.** Whenever you finish a Short Rest, your Exhaustion level, if any, decreases by 1.
+
+#### Level 13: Relentless Hunter
+
+Taking damage can't break your Concentration on *Hunter's Mark*.
+
+#### Level 14: Nature's Veil
+
+You invoke spirits of nature to magically hide yourself. As a Bonus Action, you can give yourself the Invisible condition until the end of your next turn.
+
+You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 17: Precise Hunter
+
+You have Advantage on attack rolls against the creature currently marked by your *Hunter's Mark*.
+
+#### Level 18: Feral Senses
+
+Your connection to the forces of nature grants you Blindsight with a range of 30 feet.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Dimensional Travel is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Foe Slayer
+
+The damage die of your *Hunter's Mark* is a d10 rather than a d6.
+
+### Ranger Spell List

+
+#### Level 1: Expertise
+
+You gain Expertise in two of your skill proficiencies of your choice. Sleight of Hand and Stealth are recommended if you have proficiency in them.
+
+At Rogue level 6, you gain Expertise in two more of your skill proficiencies of your choice.
+
+#### Level 1: Sneak Attack
+
+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 roll if you have Advantage on the roll and the attack uses a Finesse or a Ranged weapon. The extra damage's type is the same as the weapon's type.
+
+You don't need Advantage on the attack roll if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the target, the ally doesn't have the Incapacitated condition, and you don't have Disadvantage on the attack roll.
+
+The extra damage increases as you gain Rogue levels, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue Features table.
+
+#### Level 1: Thieves' Cant
+
+You picked up various languages in the communities where you plied your roguish talents. You know Thieves' Cant and one other language of your choice, which you choose from the language tables in "Character Creation."
+
+#### Level 1: Weapon Mastery
+
+Your training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of weapons of your choice with which you have proficiency, such as Daggers and Shortbows.
+
+Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change the kinds of weapons you chose. For example, you could switch to using the mastery properties of Scimitars and Shortswords.
+
+#### Level 2: Cunning Action
+
+Your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. On your turn, you can take one of the following actions as a Bonus Action: Dash, Disengage, or Hide.
+
+#### Level 3: Rogue Subclass
+
+You gain a Rogue subclass of your choice. The Thief subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Rogue levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Rogue level or lower.
+
+#### Level 3: Steady Aim
+
+As a Bonus Action, you give yourself Advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this feature only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use it, your Speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Rogue levels 8, 10, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 5: Cunning Strike
+
+You've developed cunning ways to use your Sneak Attack. When you deal Sneak Attack damage, you can add one of the following Cunning Strike effects. Each effect has a die cost, which is the number of Sneak Attack damage dice you must forgo to add the effect. You remove the die before rolling, and the effect occurs immediately after the attack's damage is dealt. For example, if you add the Poison effect, remove 1d6 from the Sneak Attack's damage before rolling.
+
+If a Cunning Strike effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 plus your Dexterity modifier and Proficiency Bonus.
+
+**Poison (Cost: 1d6).** You add a toxin to your strike, forcing the target to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target has the Poisoned condition for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, the Poisoned target repeats the save, ending the effect on itself on a success.
+
+To use this effect, you must have a Poisoner's Kit on your person.
+
+**Trip (Cost: 1d6).** If the target is Large or smaller, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have the Prone condition.
+
+**Withdraw (Cost: 1d6).** Immediately after the attack, you move up to half your Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.
+
+#### Level 5: Uncanny Dodge
+
+When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can take a Reaction to halve the attack's damage against you (round down).
+
+#### Level 7: Evasion
+
+You can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain dangers. When you're 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. You can't use this feature if you have the Incapacitated condition.
+
+#### Level 7: Reliable Talent
+
+Whenever you make an ability check that uses one of your skill or tool proficiencies, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.
+
+#### Level 11: Improved Cunning Strike
+
+You can use up to two Cunning Strike effects when you deal Sneak Attack damage, paying the die cost for each effect.
+
+#### Level 14: Devious Strikes
+
+You've practiced new ways to use your Sneak Attack deviously. The following effects are now among your Cunning Strike options.
+
+**Daze (Cost: 2d6).** The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or on its next turn, it can do only one of the following: move or take an action or a Bonus Action.
+
+**Knock Out (Cost: 6d6).** The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or it has the Unconscious condition for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. The Unconscious target repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
+
+**Obscure (Cost: 3d6).** The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, or it has the Blinded condition until the end of its next turn.
+
+#### Level 15: Slippery Mind
+
+Your cunning mind is exceptionally difficult to control. You gain proficiency in Wisdom and Charisma saving throws.
+
+#### Level 18: Elusive
+
+You're so evasive that attackers rarely gain the upper hand against you. No attack roll can have Advantage against you unless you have the Incapacitated condition.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of the Night Spirit is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Stroke of Luck
+
+You have a marvelous knack for succeeding when you need to. If you fail a D20 Test, you can turn the roll into a 20.
+
+Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.
+
+### Rogue Subclass: Thief
+
+*Hunt for Treasure as a Classic Adventurer*
+
+A mix of burglar, treasure hunter, and explorer, you are the epitome of an adventurer. In addition to improving your agility and stealth, you gain abilities useful for delving into ruins and getting maximum benefit from the magic items you find there.
+
+#### Level 3: Fast Hands
+
+As a Bonus Action, you can do one of the following.
+
+**Sleight of Hand.** Make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to pick a lock or disarm a trap with Thieves' Tools or to pick a pocket.
+
+**Use an Object.** Take the Utilize action, or take the Magic action to use a magic item that requires that action.
+
+#### Level 3: Second-Story Work
+
+You've trained to get into especially hard-to-reach places, granting you these benefits.
+
+**Climber.** You gain a Climb Speed equal to your Speed.
+
+**Jumper.** You can determine your jump distance using your Dexterity rather than your Strength.
+
+#### Level 9: Supreme Sneak
+
+You gain the following Cunning Strike option. *Stealth Attack (Cost: 1d6).* If you have the Hide action's Invisible condition, this attack doesn't end that condition on you if you end the turn behind Three-Quarters Cover or Total Cover.
+
+#### Level 13: Use Magic Device
+
+You've learned how to maximize use of magic items, granting you the following benefits.
+
+**Attunement.** You can attune to up to four magic items at once.
+
+**Charges.** Whenever you use a magic item property that expends charges, roll 1d6. On a roll of 6, you use the property without expending the charges.
+
+**Scrolls.** You can use any *Spell Scroll*, using Intelligence as your spellcasting ability for the spell. If the spell is a cantrip or a level 1 spell, you can cast it reliably. If the scroll contains a higher-level spell, you must first succeed on an Intelligence (Arcana) check (DC 10 plus the spell's level). On a successful check, you cast the spell from the scroll. On a failed check, the scroll disintegrates.
+
+### Level 17: Thief's Reflexes
+
+You are 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.

+
+#### Level 1: Spellcasting
+
+Drawing from your innate magic, you can cast spells. See "Spells" for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Sorcerer spells, which appear in the Sorcerer spell list later in the class's description.
+
+**Cantrips.** You know four Sorcerer cantrips of your choice. *Light*, *Prestidigitation*, *Shocking Grasp*, and *Sorcerous Burst* are recommended. Whenever you gain a Sorcerer level, you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature with another Sorcerer cantrip of your choice.
+
+When you reach Sorcerer levels 4 and 10, you learn another Sorcerer cantrip of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Sorcerer Features table.
+
+**Spell Slots.** The Sorcerer Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+**Prepared Spells of Level 1+.** You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 Sorcerer spells. *Burning Hands* and *Detect Magic* are recommended.
+
+The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Sorcerer levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Sorcerer Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Sorcerer spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the Sorcerer Features table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you're a level 3 Sorcerer, your list of prepared spells can include six Sorcerer spells of level 1 or 2 in any combination.
+
+If another Sorcerer feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Sorcerer spells for you.
+
+**Changing Your Prepared Spells.** Whenever you gain a Sorcerer level, you can replace one spell on your list with another Sorcerer spell for which you have spell slots.
+
+**Spellcasting Ability.** Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Sorcerer spells.
+
+**Spellcasting Focus.** You can use an Arcane Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your Sorcerer spells.
+
+#### Level 1: Innate Sorcery
+
+An event in your past left an indelible mark on you, infusing you with simmering magic. As a Bonus Action, you can unleash that magic for 1 minute, during which you gain the following benefits:
+
+- The spell save DC of your Sorcerer spells increases by 1.
+- You have Advantage on the attack rolls of Sorcerer spells you cast.
+
+You can use this feature twice, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 2: Font of Magic
+
+You can tap into the wellspring of magic within yourself. This wellspring is represented by Sorcery Points, which allow you to create a variety of magical effects.
+
+You have 2 Sorcery Points, and you gain more as you reach higher levels, as shown in the Sorcery Points column of the Sorcerer Features table. You can't have more Sorcery Points than the number shown in the table for your level. You regain all expended Sorcery Points when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+You can use your Sorcery Points to fuel the options below, along with other features, such as Metamagic, that use those points.
+
+**Converting Spell Slots to Sorcery Points.** You can expend a spell slot to gain a number of Sorcery Points equal to the slot's level (no action required).
+
+**Creating Spell Slots.** As a Bonus Action, you can transform unexpended Sorcery Points into one spell slot. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of a given level, and it lists the minimum Sorcerer level you must be to create a slot. You can create a spell slot no higher than level 5.
+
+Any spell slot you create with this feature vanishes when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+Table: Creating Spell Slots
+
+| Spell Slot Level | Sorcery Point Cost | Min. Sorcerer Level |
+|------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
+| 1                | 2                  | 2                   |
+| 2                | 3                  | 3                   |
+| 3                | 5                  | 5                   |
+| 4                | 6                  | 7                   |
+| 5                | 7                  | 9                   |
+
+#### Level 2: Metamagic
+
+Because your magic flows from within, you can alter your spells to suit your needs; you gain two Metamagic options of your choice from "Metamagic Options" later in this class's description. You use the chosen options to temporarily modify spells you cast. To use an option, you must spend the number of Sorcery Points that it costs.
+
+You can use only one Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it unless otherwise noted in one of those options.
+
+Whenever you gain a Sorcerer level, you can replace one of your Metamagic options with one you don't know. You gain two more options at Sorcerer level 10 and two more at Sorcerer level 17.
+
+#### Level 3: Sorcerer Subclass
+
+You gain a Sorcerer subclass of your choice. The Draconic Sorcery subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Sorcerer levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Sorcerer level or lower.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Sorcerer levels 8, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 5: Sorcerous Restoration
+
+When you finish a Short Rest, you can regain expended Sorcery Points, but no more than a number equal to half your Sorcerer level (round down). Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 7: Sorcery Incarnate
+
+If you have no uses of Innate Sorcery left, you can use it if you spend 2 Sorcery Points when you take the Bonus Action to activate it.
+
+In addition, while your Innate Sorcery feature is active, you can use up to two of your Metamagic options on each spell you cast.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Dimensional Travel is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Arcane Apotheosis
+
+While your Innate Sorcery feature is active, you can use one Metamagic option on each of your turns without spending Sorcery Points on it.
+
+### Metamagic Options
+
+The following options are available to your Metamagic feature. The options are presented in alphabetical order.
+
+#### Careful Spell
+

+### Sorcerer Subclass: Draconic Sorcery
+
+*Breathe the Magic of Dragons*
+
+Your innate magic comes from the gift of a dragon. Perhaps an ancient dragon facing death bequeathed some of its magical power to you or your ancestor. You might have absorbed magic from a site infused with dragons' power. Or perhaps you handled a treasure taken from a dragon's hoard that was steeped in draconic power. Or you might have a dragon for an ancestor.
+
+#### Level 3: Draconic Resilience
+
+The magic in your body manifests physical traits of your draconic gift. Your Hit Point maximum increases by 3, and it increases by 1 whenever you gain another Sorcerer level.
+
+Parts of you are also covered by dragon-like scales. While you aren't wearing armor, your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Dexterity and Charisma modifiers.
+
+#### Level 3: Draconic Spells
+
+When you reach a Sorcerer level specified in the Draconic Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.
+
+Table: Draconic Spells
+
+| Sorcerer Level    | Spells                                                 |
+|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
+| 3                 | Alter Self, Chromatic Orb, Command, Dragon's Breath    |
+| 5                 | Fear, Fly                                              |
+| 7                 | Arcane Eye, Charm Monster                              |
+| 9                 | Legend Lore, Summon Dragon                             |
+
+#### Level 6: Elemental Affinity
+
+Your draconic magic has an affinity with a damage type associated with dragons. Choose one of those types: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison.
+
+You have Resistance to that damage type, and when you cast a spell that deals damage of that type, you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that spell.
+
+#### Level 14: Dragon Wings
+
+As a Bonus Action, you can cause draconic wings to appear on your back. The wings last for 1 hour or until you dismiss them (no action required). For the duration, you have a Fly Speed of 60 feet.
+
+Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you spend 3 Sorcery Points (no action required) to restore your use of it.
+
+#### Level 18: Dragon Companion
+
+You can cast *Summon Dragon* without a Material component. You can also cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in this way when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+Whenever you start casting the spell, you can modify it so that it doesn't require Concentration. If you do so, the spell's duration becomes 1 minute for that casting.

+
+#### Level 1: Eldritch Invocations
+
+You have unearthed Eldritch Invocations, pieces of forbidden knowledge that imbue you with an abiding magical ability or other lessons. You gain one invocation of your choice, such as Pact of the Tome. Invocations are described in the "Eldritch Invocation Options" section later in this class's description.
+
+**Prerequisites.** If an invocation has a prerequisite, you must meet it to learn that invocation. For example, if an invocation requires you to be a level 5+ Warlock, you can select the invocation once you reach Warlock level 5.
+
+**Replacing and Gaining Invocations.** Whenever you gain a Warlock level, you can replace one of your invocations with another one for which you qualify. You can't replace an invocation if it's a prerequisite for another invocation that you have.
+
+When you gain certain Warlock levels, you gain more invocations of your choice, as shown in the Invocations column of the Warlock Features table.
+
+You can't pick the same invocation more than once unless its description says otherwise.
+
+#### Level 1: Pact Magic
+
+Through occult ceremony, you have formed a pact with a mysterious entity to gain magical powers. The entity is a voice in the shadows—its identity unclear—but its boon to you is concrete: the ability to cast spells. See "Spells" for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Warlock spells, which appear in the Warlock spell list later in the class's description.
+
+**Cantrips.** You know two Warlock cantrips of your choice. *Eldritch Blast* and *Prestidigitation* are recommended. Whenever you gain a Warlock level, you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature with another Warlock cantrip of your choice.
+
+When you reach Warlock levels 4 and 10, you learn another Warlock cantrip of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Warlock Features table.
+
+**Spell Slots.** The Warlock Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Warlock spells of levels 1–5. The table also shows the level of those slots, all of which are the same level. You regain all expended Pact Magic spell slots when you finish a Short or Long Rest.
+
+For example, when you're a level 5 Warlock, you have two level 3 spell slots. To cast the level 1 spell *Charm Person*, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a level 3 spell.
+
+**Prepared Spells of Level 1+.** You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 Warlock spells. *Charm Person* and *Hex* are recommended.
+
+The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Warlock levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Warlock Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Warlock spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the table. The chosen spells must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach level 6, for example, you learn a new Warlock spell, which can be of levels 1–3.
+
+If another Warlock feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Warlock spells for you.
+
+**Changing Your Prepared Spells.** Whenever you gain a Warlock level, you can replace one spell on your list with another Warlock spell of an eligible level.
+
+**Spellcasting Ability.** Charisma is the spellcasting ability for your Warlock spells.
+
+**Spellcasting Focus.** You can use an Arcane Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your Warlock spells.
+
+#### Level 2: Magical Cunning
+
+You can perform an esoteric rite for 1 minute. At the end of it, you regain expended Pact Magic spell slots but no more than a number equal to half your maximum (round up). Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 3: Warlock Subclass
+
+You gain a Warlock subclass of your choice. The Fiend Patron subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Warlock levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Warlock level or lower.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Warlock levels 8, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 9: Contact Patron
+
+In the past, you usually contacted your patron through intermediaries. Now you can communicate directly; you always have the *Contact Other Plane* spell prepared. With this feature, you can cast the spell without expending a spell slot to contact your patron, and you automatically succeed on the spell's saving throw.
+
+Once you cast the spell with this feature, you can't do so in this way again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 11: Mystic Arcanum
+
+Your patron grants you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one level 6 Warlock spell as this arcanum.
+
+You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot, and you must finish a Long Rest before you can cast it in this way again.
+
+As shown in the Warlock Features table, you gain another Warlock spell of your choice that can be cast in this way when you reach Warlock levels 13 (level 7 spell), 15 (level 8 spell), and 17 (level 9 spell). You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+Whenever you gain a Warlock level, you can replace one of your arcanum spells with another Warlock spell of the same level.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Fate is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Eldritch Master
+
+When you use your Magical Cunning feature, you regain all your expended Pact Magic spell slots.
+

+
+*Prerequisite: Level 5+ Warlock*
+
+You can use a Bonus Action to touch a willing creature and perceive through its senses until the end of your next turn. As long as the creature is on the same plane of existence as you, you can take a Bonus Action on subsequent turns to maintain this connection, extending the duration until the end of your next turn. The connection ends if you don't maintain it in this way.
+
+While perceiving through the other creature's senses, you benefit from any special senses possessed by that creature, and you can cast spells as if you were in your space or the other creature's space if the two of you are within 60 feet of each other.
+
+#### Gift of the Depths
+
+*Prerequisite: Level 5+ Warlock*
+

+
+#### Gift of the Protectors
+
+*Prerequisite: Level 9+ Warlock, Pact of the Tome Invocation*
+
+A new page appears in your *Book of Shadows* when you conjure it. With your permission, a creature can take an action to write its name on that page, which can contain a number of names equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one name).
+
+When any creature whose name is on the page is reduced to 0 Hit Points but not killed outright, the creature magically drops to 1 Hit Point instead. Once this magic is triggered, no creature can benefit from it until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+As a Magic action, you can erase a name on the page by touching it.
+
+#### Investment of the Chain Master
+
+*Prerequisite: Level 5+ Warlock, Pact of the Chain Invocation*
+
+When you cast *Find Familiar*, you infuse the summoned familiar with a measure of your eldritch power, granting the creature the following benefits.

+
+**Quick Attack.** As a Bonus Action, you can command the familiar to take the Attack action.
+
+**Necrotic or Radiant Damage.** Whenever the familiar deals Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage, you can make it deal Necrotic or Radiant damage instead.
+
+**Your Save DC.** If the familiar forces a creature to make a saving throw, it uses your spell save DC.
+
+**Resistance.** When the familiar takes damage, you can take a Reaction to grant it Resistance against that damage.
+
+#### **Lessons of the First Ones**

+*Prerequisite: Level 2+ Warlock*
+

+

+
+#### Pact of the Blade
+
+As a Bonus Action, you can conjure a pact weapon in your hand—a Simple or Martial Melee weapon of your choice with which you bond—or create a bond with a magic weapon you touch; you can't bond with a magic weapon if someone else is attuned to it or another Warlock is bonded with it. Until the bond ends, you have proficiency with the weapon, and you can use it as a Spellcasting Focus.
+
+Whenever you attack with the bonded weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier for the attack and damage rolls instead of using Strength or Dexterity; and you can cause the weapon to deal Necrotic, Psychic, or Radiant damage or its normal damage type.
+
+Your bond with the weapon ends if you use this feature's Bonus Action again, if the weapon is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more, or if you die. A conjured weapon disappears when the bond ends.
+
+#### Pact of the Chain
+
+You learn the *Find Familiar* spell and can cast it as a Magic action without expending a spell slot.
+
+When you cast the spell, you choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of the following special forms: **Imp, Pseudodragon, Quasit, Skeleton, Sphinx of Wonder, Sprite,** or **Venomous Snake** (see "Monsters" for the familiar's stat block).
+
+Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to make one attack of its own with its Reaction.
+
+#### Pact of the Tome
+
+Stitching together strands of shadow, you conjure forth a book in your hand at the end of a Short or Long Rest. This *Book of Shadows* (you determine its appearance) contains eldritch magic that only you can access, granting you the benefits below. The book disappears if you conjure another book with this feature or if you die.
+
+**Cantrips and Rituals.** When the book appears, choose three cantrips, and choose two level 1 spells that have the Ritual tag. The spells can be from any class's spell list, and they must be spells you don't already have prepared. While the book is on your person, you have the chosen spells prepared, and they function as Warlock spells for you.

+
+#### Repelling Blast
+
+*Prerequisite: Level 2+ Warlock, a Warlock Cantrip That Deals Damage via an Attack Roll*
+
+Choose one of your known Warlock cantrips that requires an attack roll. When you hit a Large or smaller creature with that cantrip, you can push the creature up to 10 feet straight away from you.

+### Warlock Subclass: Fiend Patron
+
+*Make a Deal with the Lower Planes*
+
+Your pact draws on the Lower Planes, the realms of perdition. You might forge a bargain with a demon lord, an archdevil, or another fiend that is especially mighty. That patron's aims are evil—the corruption or destruction of all things, ultimately including you—and your path is defined by the extent to which you strive against those aims.
+
+#### Level 3: Dark One's Blessing
+
+When you reduce an enemy to 0 Hit Points, you gain Temporary Hit Points equal to your Charisma modifier plus your Warlock level (minimum of 1 Temporary Hit Point). You also gain this benefit if someone else reduces an enemy within 10 feet of you to 0 Hit Points.
+
+#### Level 3: Fiend Spells
+
+The magic of your patron ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Warlock level specified in the Fiend Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.
+
+Table: Fiend Spells
+
+| Warlock Level | Spells                                            |
+|---------------|---------------------------------------------------|
+| 3             | Burning Hands, Command, Scorching Ray, Suggestion |
+| 5             | Fireball, Stinking Cloud                          |
+| 7             | Fire Shield, Wall of Fire                         |
+| 9             | Geas, Insect Plague                               |
+
+#### Level 6: Dark One's Own Luck
+
+You can call on your fiendish patron to alter fate in your favor. When you make an ability check or a saving throw, you can use this feature to add 1d10 to your roll. You can do so after seeing the roll but before any of the roll's effects occur.
+
+You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), but you can use it no more than once per roll. You regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 10: Fiendish Resilience
+
+Choose one damage type, other than Force, whenever you finish a Short or Long Rest. You have Resistance to that damage type until you choose a different one with this feature.
+
+#### Level 14: Hurl Through Hell
+
+Once per turn when you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can try to instantly transport the target through the Lower Planes. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC, or the target disappears and hurtles through a nightmare landscape. The target takes 8d10 Psychic damage if it isn't a Fiend, and it has the Incapacitated condition until the end of your next turn, when it returns to the space it previously occupied or the nearest unoccupied space.
+
+Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you expend a Pact Magic spell slot (no action required) to restore your use of it.

+
+#### Level 1: Spellcasting
+
+As a student of arcane magic, you have learned to cast spells. See "Spells" for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Wizard spells, which appear in the Wizard spell list later in the class's description.
+
+**Cantrips.** You know three Wizard cantrips of your choice. *Light*, *Mage Hand*, and *Ray of Frost* are recommended. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature with another Wizard cantrip of your choice.
+
+When you reach Wizard levels 4 and 10, you learn another Wizard cantrip of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Wizard Features table.
+
+**Spellbook.** Your wizardly apprenticeship culminated in the creation of a unique book: your spellbook. It is a Tiny object that weighs 3 pounds, contains 100 pages, and can be read only by you or someone casting *Identify*. You determine the book's appearance and materials, such as a gilt-edged tome or a collection of vellum bound with twine.
+
+The book contains the level 1+ spells you know. It starts with six level 1 Wizard spells of your choice. *Detect Magic*, *Feather Fall*, *Mage Armor*, *Magic Missile*, *Sleep*, and *Thunderwave* are recommended.
+
+Whenever you gain a Wizard level after 1, add two Wizard spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown in the Wizard Features table. The spells are the culmination of arcane research you do regularly.
+
+**Spell Slots.** The Wizard Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.
+
+**Prepared Spells of Level 1+.** You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To do so, choose four spells from your spellbook. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
+
+The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Wizard levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Wizard Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Wizard spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you're a level 3 Wizard, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of levels 1 and 2 in any combination, chosen from your spellbook.
+
+If another Wizard feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don't count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Wizard spells for you.
+
+**Changing Your Prepared Spells.** Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change your list of prepared spells, replacing any of the spells there with spells from your spellbook.
+
+**Spellcasting Ability.** Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Wizard spells.
+
+**Spellcasting Focus.** You can use an Arcane Focus or your spellbook as a Spellcasting Focus for your Wizard spells.
+
+#### Level 1: Ritual Adept
+
+You can cast any spell as a Ritual if that spell has the Ritual tag and the spell is in your spellbook. You needn't have the spell prepared, but you must read from the book to cast a spell in this way.
+
+#### Level 1: Arcane Recovery
+
+You can regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook. When you finish a Short Rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level equal to no more than half your Wizard level (round up), and none of the slots can be level 6 or higher. For example, if you're a level 4 Wizard, you can recover up to two levels' worth of spell slots, regaining either one level 2 spell slot or two level 1 spell slots.
+
+Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
+
+#### Level 2: Scholar
+
+While studying magic, you also specialized in another field of study. Choose one of the following skills in which you have proficiency: Arcana, History, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, or Religion. You have Expertise in the chosen skill.
+
+#### Level 3: Wizard Subclass
+
+You gain a Wizard subclass of your choice. The Evoker subclass is detailed after this class's description. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Wizard levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features that are of your Wizard level or lower.
+
+> ### Expanding and Replacing a Spellbook
+> 
+> The spells you add to your spellbook as you gain levels reflect your ongoing magical research, but you might find other spells during your adventures that you can add to the book. You could discover a Wizard spell on a *Spell Scroll*, for example, and then copy it into your spellbook.
+>
+> **Copying a Spell into the Book.** When you find a level 1+ Wizard spell, you can copy it into your spellbook if it's of a level you can prepare and if you have time to copy it. For each level of the spell, the transcription takes 2 hours and costs 50 GP. Afterward you can prepare the spell like the other spells in your spellbook.
+> 
+> **Copying the Book.** You can copy a spell from your spellbook into another book. This is like copying a new spell into your spellbook but faster, since you already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 GP for each level of the copied spell.
+>
+> If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the Wizard spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of the new book requires you to find new spells to do so. For this reason, many wizards keep a backup spellbook.
+
+#### Level 4: Ability Score Improvement
+
+You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Wizard levels 8, 12, and 16.
+
+#### Level 5: Memorize Spell
+
+Whenever you finish a Short Rest, you can study your spellbook and replace one of the level 1+ Wizard spells you have prepared for your Spellcasting feature with another level 1+ spell from the book.
+
+#### Level 18: Spell Mastery
+
+You have achieved such mastery over certain spells that you can cast them at will. Choose a level 1 and a level 2 spell in your spellbook that have a casting time of an action. You always have those spells prepared, and you can cast them at their lowest level without expending a spell slot. To cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend a spell slot.
+
+Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can study your spellbook and replace one of those spells with an eligible spell of the same level from the book.
+
+#### Level 19: Epic Boon
+
+You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of Spell Recall is recommended.
+
+#### Level 20: Signature Spells
+
+Choose two level 3 spells in your spellbook as your signature spells. You always have these spells prepared, and you can cast each of them once at level 3 without expending a spell slot. When you do so, you can't cast them in this way again until you finish a Short or Long Rest. To cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend a spell slot.
+
+#### Wizard Spell List
+
+This section presents the Wizard spell list. The spells are organized by spell level and then alphabetized, and each spell's school of magic is listed. In the Special column, *C* means the spell requires Concentration, *R* means it's a Ritual, and *M* means it requires a specific Material component.

+### Wizard Subclass: Evoker
+
+*Create Explosive Elemental Effects*
+
+Your studies focus 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 armies from afar. Others use their power to protect others, while some seek their own gain.
+
+#### Level 3: Evocation Savant
+
+Choose two Wizard spells from the Evocation school, each of which must be no higher than level 2, and add them to your spellbook for free.
+
+In addition, whenever you gain access to a new level of spell slots in this class, you can add one Wizard spell from the Evocation school to your spellbook for free. The chosen spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
+
+#### Level 3: Potent Cantrip
+
+Your damaging cantrips affect even creatures that avoid the brunt of the effect. When you cast a cantrip at a creature and you miss with the attack roll or the target succeeds on a saving throw against the cantrip, the target takes half the cantrip's damage (if any) but suffers no additional effect from the cantrip.
+
+#### Level 6: Sculpt Spells
+
+You can create pockets of relative safety within the effects of your evocations. When you cast an Evocation spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 plus 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.
+
+#### Level 10: Empowered Evocation
+
+Whenever you cast a Wizard spell from the Evocation school, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of that spell.
+
+#### Level 14: Overchannel
+
+You can increase the power of your spells. When you cast a Wizard spell with a spell slot of levels 1–5 that deals damage, you can deal maximum damage with that spell on the turn you cast it.
+
+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 slot immediately after you cast it. This damage ignores Resistance and Immunity.
+
+Each time you use this feature again before finishing a Long Rest, the Necrotic damage per spell level increases by 1d12.

+Some species can trace their origin to a single world, plane of existence, or god, while other species first appeared in multiple realms at once. Whatever a species' genesis, its members have spread across the multiverse and contribute to many different cultures.
+
+Members of most species live for about 80 years, with exceptions noted in the text about the species in "Character Origins." Regardless of life span, members of all species reach physical maturity at about the same age. Your character can be any age that isn't beyond their species' normal life span.
+
+### Parts of a Species
+
+A species includes the following parts.
+
+#### Creature Type
+
+A character's species determines the character's creature type, which is described in "Rules Glossary." Every species in "Character Origins" is Humanoid; playable non-Humanoid species appear in other books.
+
+#### Size
+
+Your character's species determines the character's size. Individuals within a species cover a wide range of heights, and some species include such diversity of size that you can choose whether your character is Small or Medium.
+
+#### **Speed**
+
+Your character's species determines the character's Speed.
+
+#### **Special Traits**
+
+Each species gives a character special traits unique characteristics based on the species' physiology or magical nature. When you choose a species, your character gets all the special traits listed for it. Some traits involve making a choice from a handful of options.
+

+# Gameplay Toolbox
+
+## Travel Pace
+
+A group of characters can travel overland at a Normal, Fast, or Slow pace, as described in "Playing the Game." During any journey stage, the predominant terrain determines the characters' maximum travel pace, as shown in the Maximum Pace column of the Travel Terrain table. Certain factors can affect a group's travel pace.
+
+### Good Roads
+
+The presence of a good road increases the group's maximum pace by one step (from Slow to Normal or from Normal to Fast).
+
+### Slower Travelers
+
+The group must move at a Slow pace if any group member's Speed is reduced to half or less of normal.
+
+### Extended Travel
+
+Characters can push themselves to travel for more than 8 hours per day, at the risk of tiring. At the end of each additional hour of travel beyond 8 hours, each character must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or gain 1 Exhaustion level. The DC is 10 plus 1 for each hour past 8 hours.
+
+### Special Movement
+
+If a party can travel at a high Speed for an extended time, as with a spell such as *Wind Walk* or a magic item such as a *Carpet of Flying*, translate the party's Speed into travel rates using these rules:
+
+**Miles per hour** = Speed ÷ 10 
+
+**Miles per day** (Normal pace) = Miles per hour × number of hours traveled (typically 8) 
+
+**Fast pace** = Miles per day × 1⅓ (round down) 
+
+**Slow pace** = Miles per day × 2/3 (round down)
+
+If the characters are flying or their special movement allows them to ignore Difficult Terrain, they can move at a Fast pace regardless of the terrain.
+
+### Vehicles
+
+Characters traveling in a vehicle use the vehicle's speed in miles per hour (as shown in "Equipment") to determine their rate of travel, and they don't choose a travel pace.
+
+## Creating a Background
+
+A character's background represents what the character did prior to becoming an adventurer. Creating a unique background or customizing an existing one can reflect the particular theme of your campaign or elements of your world. You can also create a background to help a player craft the story they have in mind for their character.
+
+This section describes, step by step, how you can create backgrounds tailored for your world and the heroes in it.
+
+### 1: Choose Abilities
+
+Choose three abilities that seem appropriate for the background:
+
+**Strength or Dexterity.** These abilities are ideal for a background involving physical exertion.
+
+**Constitution.** This ability is ideal for a background that involves endurance or long hours of activity.
+
+**Intelligence or Wisdom.** One or both abilities are ideal for a background that focuses on cerebral or spiritual matters.
+
+**Charisma.** This ability is ideal for a background that involves performance or social interaction.

+
+## Curses and Magical Contagions
+
+A curse is a magical burden that lasts for a specified time or until it is ended by some means. A magical contagion is an adverse effect of magical origin that is contagious by definition.
+
+The following sections discuss curses and magical contagions in detail.
+
+### Curses
+
+A curse typically takes one of the forms detailed below.
+
+#### Bestow Curse
+
+The simplest curses are created by the *Bestow Curse* spell. The effects of such curses are limited and can be ended by the *Remove Curse* spell.
+
+*Bestow Curse* provides useful benchmarks for gauging the potency of other curses. A curse that lasts for 1 minute equates to a level 3 spell, while one that lasts until dispelled equates to a level 9 spell.
+
+#### Cursed Creatures
+
+Some monsters are associated with curses, whether as part of their origins or due to their ability to spread curses—werewolves being a prime example.
+
+You decide how a spell like *Remove Curse* affects a creature with accursed origins. For example, you might decide that a mummy was created through a curse and it can be destroyed permanently only by casting *Remove Curse* on its corpse.
+
+#### Cursed Magic Items
+
+Cursed magic items are created deliberately or originate as the result of supernatural events. Such items are detailed in "Magic Items."
+
+#### Narrative Curses
+
+A curse might manifest during an adventure when a creature's violation of a taboo warrants supernatural punishment, such as breaking a vow, defiling a tomb, or murdering an innocent. Such a curse can have any effects you design, or it might be a customized version of another type of curse discussed in this section.
+
+A creature affected by such a curse should know why they're being punished and be able to learn how to end their curse, likely by symbolically righting the wrong they committed. How a spell like *Remove Curse* affects a curse that's part of your adventure is up to you—the spell might merely suppress the effects of the curse for a time. Regardless, narrative curses should feel like rare, potent magic rooted in the lore of your campaign.
+
+#### Environmental Curses
+
+Some locations are so suffused with evil that anyone who lingers there is burdened with a curse. Demonic Possession is one example of an environmental curse.
+
+**Demonic Possession.** Demonic Possession arises from the chaos and evil of the Abyss and commonly besets creatures that interact with demonic objects or linger in desecrated locations, where demonic spirits await victims.
+
+A creature that becomes the target of Demonic Possession must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or be possessed by a bodiless demonic entity. Whenever the possessed creature rolls a 1 on a D20 Test, the demonic entity takes control of the creature and determines the creature's behavior thereafter. At the end of each of the possessed creature's later turns, the creature makes a DC 15 Charisma saving throw, regaining control of itself on a success.
+
+After finishing a Long Rest, a creature with Demonic Possession makes a DC 15 Charisma saving throw. On a successful save, the effect ends on the creature. A *Dispel Evil and Good* spell or any magic that removes a curse also ends the effect on it.
+
+### Magical Contagions
+
+Alchemists, potion brewers, and areas of wild magic are credited with creating the first magical contagions. An outbreak of such a contagion can form the basis of an adventure as characters search for a cure and try to stop the contagion's spread.
+
+#### Rest and Recuperation
+
+If a creature infected with a magical contagion spends 3 days recuperating—engaging in no activities that would interrupt a Long Rest—the creature makes a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of the recuperation period. On a successful save, the creature has Advantage on saving throws to fight off the magical contagion for the next 24 hours.
+
+#### Example Contagions
+
+The following examples show how magical contagions can work. Feel free to alter the saving throw DCs, effects, and other characteristics of these contagions to suit your campaign.
+
+#### Cackle Fever
+
+*Magical Contagion*
+
+Cheaply made potions and elixirs are sometimes tainted by Cackle Fever, which affects Humanoids only (gnomes are strangely immune). A creature suffers the following effects 1d4 days after infection:
+
+**Fever.** The creature gains 1 Exhaustion level, which lasts until the contagion ends on the creature.
+
+**Uncontrollable Laughter.** While the creature has the Exhaustion condition, the creature makes a DC 13 Constitution saving throw each time it takes damage other than Psychic damage. On a failed save, the creature takes 5 (1d10) Psychic damage and has the Incapacitated condition as it laughs uncontrollably. At the end of each of its turns, the creature repeats the save, ending the effect on itself on a success. After 1 minute, it succeeds automatically.
+
+**_Fighting the Contagion._** At the end of each Long Rest, an infected creature makes a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. After the creature succeeds on three of these saves, the contagion ends on it, and the creature is immune to Cackle Fever for 1 year.
+
+**_Spreading the Contagion._** Any Humanoid (other than a gnome) that starts its turn within a 10-foot Emanation originating from a creature infected with Cackle Fever must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or also become infected with the contagion. On a successful save, the Humanoid can't catch the contagion from that particular infected creature for the next 24 hours.
+
+#### Sewer Plague
+
+*Magical Contagion*
+
+Fouled potions and alchemical waste can give rise to Sewer Plague, which incubates in sewers and refuse heaps and is sometimes transmitted by creatures that dwell in such areas, including otyughs and rats. Any Humanoid that is wounded by a creature that carries the contagion or that comes into contact with contaminated filth or offal must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or become infected with Sewer Plague. A creature suffers the following effects 1d4 days after infection:
+
+**Fatigue.** The creature gains 1 Exhaustion level. 
+
+**Weakness.** While the creature has any Exhaustion levels, it regains only half the normal number of Hit Points from spending Hit Point Dice. 
+
+**Restlessness.** While the creature has any Exhaustion levels, finishing a Long Rest neither restores lost Hit Points nor reduces the creature's Exhaustion level.
+
+**_Fighting the Contagion._** Daily at dawn, an infected creature makes a DC 11 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature gains 1 Exhaustion level as its fatigue worsens. On a successful save, the creature's Exhaustion level decreases by 1. If the creature's Exhaustion level is reduced to 0, the contagion ends on the creature.
+
+#### Sight Rot
+
+*Magical Contagion*
+
+Any Beast or Humanoid that drinks water tainted by Sight Rot must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have the Blinded condition until the contagion ends.
+
+**_Fighting the Contagion._** Magic such as a *Heal* or *Lesser Restoration* spell ends the contagion immediately. A character who is proficient with an Herbalism Kit can use it to create one dose of nonmagical ointment, which takes 1 hour. When applied to the eyes of a creature suffering from Sight Rot, the ointment suppresses the contagion on that creature for 24 hours. If the contagion is suppressed in this way for a total of 72 hours (requiring three doses and applications of the ointment), the contagion ends on the creature.
+
+**_Spreading the Contagion._** Any Humanoid that makes skin contact with a creature infected with Sight Rot must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or also become infected with the contagion. On a successful save, the Humanoid can't catch the contagion from that particular infected creature for the next 24 hours.
+
+## Environmental Effects 
+
+### Deep Water
+
+Swimming through deep water (more than 100 feet deep) presents additional challenges because of the water's pressure and cold temperature. After each hour of swimming in deep water, a creature that lacks a Swim Speed must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or gain 1 Exhaustion level.
+
+### Extreme Cold
+
+When the temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, a creature exposed to the extreme cold must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour or gain 1 Exhaustion level. Creatures that have Resistance or Immunity to Cold damage automatically succeed on the save.
+
+### Extreme Heat
+
+When the temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, a creature exposed to the extreme heat and without access to drinkable water must succeed on a Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour or gain 1 Exhaustion level. The DC is 5 for the first hour and increases by 1 for each additional hour. Creatures wearing Medium or Heavy armor have Disadvantage on the save. Creatures that have Resistance or Immunity to Fire damage automatically succeed on the save.
+
+### Frigid Water
+
+A creature can be immersed in frigid water for a number of minutes equal to its Constitution score before suffering any ill effects. Each additional minute spent in frigid water requires the creature to succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or gain 1 Exhaustion level. Creatures with Resistance or Immunity to Cold damage automatically succeed on the save, as do creatures that are naturally adapted to living in ice-cold water.
+
+### Heavy Precipitation
+
+Everything within an area of heavy rain or heavy snowfall is Lightly Obscured, and creatures in the area have Disadvantage on all Wisdom (Perception) checks. Heavy rain also extinguishes open flames.
+
+### High Altitude
+
+Traveling at altitudes of 10,000 feet or higher above sea level is taxing for most creatures because of the reduced amount of oxygen in the air. Each hour such a creature spends traveling at high altitude counts as 2 hours for the purpose of determining how long that creature can travel (see "Travel Pace").
+
+Creatures can become acclimated to a high altitude by spending 30 days or more at this elevation. Creatures can't become acclimated to elevations above 20,000 feet unless they are native to such environments.
+
+### Slippery Ice
+
+Slippery ice is Difficult Terrain. A creature that moves onto slippery ice for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or have the Prone condition.
+
+### Strong Wind
+
+Strong wind imposes Disadvantage on ranged attack rolls with weapons. It also extinguishes open flames and disperses fog. A flying creature in a strong wind must land at the end of its turn or fall.
+
+A strong wind in a desert can create a sandstorm that imposes Disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks.
+
+### Thin Ice
+
+Thin ice has a weight tolerance of 3d10 × 10 pounds per 10-foot-square area. Whenever the total weight on an area of thin ice exceeds its tolerance, the ice in that area breaks. All creatures on broken ice fall through. Below the ice is frigid water (see "Frigid Water" above).
+
+## Fear and Mental Stress
+
+Due to the nature of their vocation, adventurers tend to be less susceptible to fear and mental stress than common folk. Whereas a farmer might flee in terror from a bear or an apparition, adventurers are made of sterner stuff. That said, certain creatures and game effects can terrify or fray the mind of even the most stalwart adventurer.
+
+If you plan to use any of these rules, discuss them with your players at the start of the campaign.
+
+### Fear Effects
+
+Whenever the characters encounter something that is supernaturally frightful, use the Frightened condition as the baseline effect. Fear effects typically require a Wisdom saving throw, with a save DC based on how terrifying the situation is. The Sample Fear DCs table provides some examples.
+
+Table: Sample Fear DCs
+
+| Example                                                                                                                                     | Save DC |
+|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
+| When the characters open a sarcophagus, a harmless yet terrifying apparition appears.                                                       | 10      |
+| A character triggers a magical trap that creates an illusory manifestation of that character's worst fears, visible only to that character. | 15      |
+| A portal to the Abyss opens, revealing a nightmarish realm of torment and slaughter.                                                        | 20      |
+
+Typically, a Frightened creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
+
+At your discretion, a Frightened creature might be subject to other effects as long as the Frightened condition lasts. Consider these examples:
+
+- The Frightened creature must take the Dash action on each of its turns and uses its movement to get farther away from the source of its fear.
+- Attack rolls against the Frightened creature have Advantage.
+- The Frightened creature can do only one of the following on each of its turns: move, take an action, or take a Bonus Action.
+
+### Mental Stress Effects
+
+When a character is subjected to an effect that causes intense mental stress, Psychic damage is the best way to emulate that effect.
+
+The Sample Mental Stress Effects table provides a few examples of such effects, with suggested saving throw DCs and damage. Mental stress can usually be resisted with a successful Wisdom save, but sometimes an Intelligence or Charisma save is more appropriate. On a successful save, a character might take half as much damage instead of no damage, at your discretion.
+
+Table: Sample Mental Stress Effects
+
+| Example                                                                                              | Save DC | Psychic Damage |
+|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|----------------|
+| A character ingests a hallucinogenic substance that distorts the charac ter's perception of reality. | 10      | 1d6            |
+| A character touches a fiendish idol that tears at the character's mind, threatening to shatter it.   | 15      | 3d6            |
+| A magical trap flings a character into the Far Realm until the end of that character's next turn.    | 20      | 9d6            |
+
+#### Prolonged Effects
+
+Exposure to mental stress can cause prolonged effects. Consider the following possibilities.
+
+**_Short-Term Effects._** The character has the Frightened, Incapacitated, or Stunned condition for 1d10 minutes. This condition might be accompanied by alarming behavior or hallucinations. These effects can be suppressed with the *Calm Emotions* spell or removed by the *Lesser Restoration* spell.
+
+**_Long-Term Effects._** The character has Disadvantage on some or all ability checks for 1d10 × 10 hours, stemming from an unwillingness or inability to exert a particular set of abilities. The character might feel enervated and unable to exert much Strength, for example, or become so suspicious of others that Charisma checks are more difficult. These effects can be suppressed with the *Calm Emotions* spell or removed by the *Lesser Restoration* spell.
+
+**_Indefinite Effects._** An indefinite effect is a longterm effect (see above) that lasts until removed by a *Greater Restoration* spell. It can be suppressed by a *Calm Emotions* spell.
+
+## Poison
+
+Given their insidious and deadly nature, poisons are a favorite tool among assassins and evil creatures. Poisons come in the following four types:
+
+**Contact.** 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.
+
+**Ingested.** 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 as much damage on a failed save.
+
+**Inhaled.** Poisonous powders and gases 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.
+
+**Injury.** Injury poison can be applied as a Bonus Action to a weapon, a piece of ammunition, or similar object. The poison 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.
+
+### Purchasing Poison
+
+In some settings, laws prohibit the possession and use of poison, but an illicit dealer or unscrupulous apothecary might keep a hidden stash. Characters with criminal contacts might be able to acquire poison easily. Other characters might have to make extensive inquiries and pay bribes before they acquire the poison they seek.
+
+### Harvesting Poison
+
+A character can attempt to harvest poison from a venomous creature that is dead or has the Incapacitated condition. The effort takes 1d6 minutes, after which the character makes a DC 20 Intelligence (Nature) check using a Poisoner's Kit. On a successful check, the character harvests enough poison for a single dose, and no additional poison can be harvested from that creature. On a failed check, the character is unable to extract any poison. If the character fails the check by 5 or more, the character is subjected to the creature's poison.
+
+### Sample Poisons
+
+Example poisons are detailed here in alphabetical order. Each poison's description includes the suggested price for a single dose of the poison, its type (contact, ingested, inhaled, or injury), and a description of the poison's debilitating effects.
+
+#### Assassin's Blood (150 GP)
+
+*Ingested Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Assassin's Blood makes a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 6 (1d12) Poison damage and has the Poisoned condition for 24 hours. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage only.
+
+#### Burnt Othur Fumes (500 GP)
+
+*Inhaled Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Burnt Othur Fumes must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) Poison damage, and it must repeat the save at the start of each of its turns. On each successive failed save, the creature takes 3 (1d6) Poison damage. After three successful saves, the poison ends.
+
+#### Crawler Mucus (200 GP)
+
+*Contact Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Crawler Mucus must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or have the Poisoned condition for 1 minute. The creature also has the Paralyzed condition while Poisoned in this way. The creature repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
+
+#### Essence of Ether (300 GP)
+
+*Inhaled Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Essence of Ether must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have the Poisoned condition for 8 hours. The creature also has the Unconscious condition while Poisoned in this way. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.
+
+#### Malice (250 GP)
+
+*Inhaled Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Malice must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have the Poisoned condition for 1 hour. The creature also has the Blinded condition while Poisoned in this way.
+
+#### Midnight Tears (1,500 GP)
+
+*Ingested Poison*
+
+A creature that ingests Midnight Tears suffers no effect until the stroke of midnight. Any effect that ends the Poisoned condition neutralizes this poison. If the poison hasn't been neutralized before midnight, the creature makes a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 31 (9d6) Poison damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
+
+#### Oil of Taggit (400 GP)
+
+*Contact Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Oil of Taggit must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or have the Poisoned condition for 24 hours. The creature also has the Unconscious condition while Poisoned in this way. It wakes up if it takes damage.
+
+#### Pale Tincture (250 GP)
+
+*Ingested Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Pale Tincture must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 3 (1d6) Poison damage and have the Poisoned condition. The Poisoned creature repeats the save every 24 hours, taking 3 (1d6) Poison damage on a failed save. The damage the poison deals can't be healed by any means while the creature remains Poisoned. After seven successful saves against the poison, the creature is no longer Poisoned.
+
+#### Purple Worm Poison (2,000 GP)
+
+*Injury Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Purple Worm Poison makes a DC 21 Constitution saving throw, taking 35 (10d6) Poison damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
+
+#### Serpent Venom (200 GP)
+
+*Injury Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Serpent Venom must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) Poison damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
+
+#### Spider's Sting (200 GP)
+
+*Injury Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Spider's Sting must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or have the Poisoned condition for 1 hour. If the creature fails the save by 5 or more, the creature also has the Unconscious condition while Poisoned in this way. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.
+
+#### Torpor (600 GP)
+
+*Ingested Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Torpor poison must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or have the Poisoned condition for 4d6 hours. The creature's Speed is halved while the creature is Poisoned in this way.

+
+#### Wyvern Poison (1,200 GP)
+
+*Injury Poison*
+
+A creature subjected to Wyvern Poison makes a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 24 (7d6) Poison damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
+
+## Traps
+
+Traps should be used sparingly, lest they lose their charm. A hidden pit can be a fun surprise, but too many traps in an adventure can lead players to become overly cautious, which slows down the game.
+
+The best traps are fleeting distractions that skilled characters can overcome in a short amount of time or deadly puzzles that require quick thinking and teamwork to overcome. Traps that are undetectable and inescapable are rarely fun.
+
+### Parts of a Trap
+
+The description of a trap includes the following parts after the trap's name:
+
+**Severity and Levels.** A trap is designated as a nuisance or as deadly for characters of certain levels. A nuisance trap is unlikely to seriously harm characters of the indicated levels, whereas a deadly trap can grievously damage characters of the indicated levels.
+
+**Trigger.** Traps are often set to go off when a creature enters an area or touches an object. Examples of triggers include stepping on a pressure plate, crossing a trip wire, turning a doorknob, or using the wrong key in a lock.
+
+**Duration.** Some traps have durations expressed in rounds, minutes, or hours. Others specify that their effects last until the trap is destroyed or dispelled. If a trap's duration is instantaneous, its effect is resolved instantly. If a trap resets after activating, that fact is noted in this entry. A trap is otherwise inert after activation.
+
+Use caution when introducing a trap to characters of a level lower than the trap's level range. A trap that is a nuisance at one level range could be deadly to characters of a lower level range.
+
+### Example Traps
+
+Traps are presented in alphabetical order.
+
+#### Collapsing Roof
+
+*Deadly Trap (Levels 1–4)*
+
+**Trigger:** A creature crosses a trip wire 
+
+**Duration:** Instantaneous
+
+This trap uses a trip wire to collapse an unstable section of ceiling. The trip wire is 3 inches off the ground and stretches between two weak supports that topple when the trip wire is pulled.
+
+The first creature that crosses the trip wire causes the supports to topple and the unstable section of ceiling to collapse. Each creature beneath the unstable section of ceiling must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 11 (2d10) Bludgeoning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. Rubble from the collapse turns the trapped area into Difficult Terrain.
+
+**_Detect and Disarm._** As a Search action, a creature can examine the trapped area and make a DC 11 Wisdom (Perception) check, detecting the trip wire and the unstable section of ceiling on a successful check. Once detected, the trip wire can be easily cut or avoided (no ability check required).
+
+**_At Higher Levels._** You can scale the trap for higher levels by increasing the damage and the save DC, as shown in the following table.
+
+| Levels | Bludgeoning Damage | Save DC |
+|--------|--------------------|---------|
+| 5–10   | 22 (4d10)          | 15      |
+| 11–16  | 55 (10d10)         | 17      |
+| 17–20  | 99 (18d10)         | 19      |
+
+#### Falling Net
+
+*Nuisance Trap (Levels 1–4)*
+
+**Trigger:** A creature crosses a trip wire 
+
+**Duration:** Instantaneous
+
+A falling net trap uses a trip wire to release a weighted, 10-foot-square Net suspended from the ceiling. The trip wire is 3 inches off the ground and stretches between two columns or trees.
+
+The first creature that crosses the trip wire causes the Net to fall on it. The target must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or have the Restrained condition until it escapes. The target succeeds automatically if it's Huge or larger. A creature can take an action to make a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach from the Net on a successful check.
+
+**_Detect and Disarm._** As a Search action, a creature can examine the trapped area and make a DC 11 Wisdom (Perception) check, detecting the trip wire and the suspended Net on a successful check. Once detected, the trip wire can be easily cut or avoided (no ability check required).
+
+**_Destroy the Net._** Reducing the Net to 0 Hit Points frees any creature trapped in it (see "Adventuring Gear" for the Net's statistics).
+
+**_Set the Trap._** A creature that has Thieves' Tools and all the trap's components (including a Net) can try to set a falling net trap, doing so with a successful DC 13 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. Each attempt to set this trap takes 10 minutes.
+
+**_At Higher Levels._** You can scale the trap for higher levels by increasing the weight of the Net, which increases the save DC and the DC of the Strength (Athletics) check as follows: DC 12 at levels 5–10, DC 14 at levels 11–16, or DC 16 at levels 17–20.
+
+#### Fire-Casting Statue
+
+*Deadly Trap (Levels 1–4)*
+
+**Trigger:** A creature moves onto a pressure plate
+
+**Duration:** Instantaneous, and the trap resets at the start of the next turn
+
+When a creature moves onto this trap's pressure plate for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, a nearby statue exhales a 15-foot Cone of magical flame. The statue can look like anything, such as a dragon or a wizard. Each creature in the Cone must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 11 (2d10) Fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
+
+**_Detect and Disarm._** A *Detect Magic* spell reveals an aura of Evocation magic around the statue. As a Search action, a creature within 5 feet of the statue can examine it and make a DC 10 Wisdom (Perception) check, detecting a tiny glyph on the statue on a successful check. Once the glyph is found, a character can take a Study action to examine it and make a DC 15 Intelligence (Arcana) check, ascertaining that the glyph means "fire" on a successful check. As an action, a character can use a sharp tool to deface the glyph, which disarms the trap.
+
+As a Search action, a creature can examine the section of floor that forms the pressure plate and make a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check, detecting the pressure plate on a successful check. Wedging an Iron Spike or similar object under the pressure plate prevents the trap from triggering.
+
+**_At Higher Levels._** You can scale the trap for higher levels by increasing the damage and the area of effect, as shown in the following table.
+
+| Levels | Fire Damage | Area of Effect | 
+|--------|-------------|----------------|
+| 5–10   | 22 (4d10)   | 30-foot Cone   |
+| 11–16  | 55 (10d10)  | 60-foot Cone   |
+| 17–20  | 99 (18d10)  | 120-foot Cone  |
+
+#### Hidden Pit
+
+*Nuisance Trap (Levels 1–4)*
+
+**Trigger:** A creature moves onto the pit's lid 
+
+**Duration:** Instantaneous
+
+This 10-foot-deep pit has a hinged lid constructed from material identical to the surrounding floor. When a creature moves onto the lid, it swings open like a trapdoor, causing the creature to fall into the pit. The lid remains open thereafter.
+
+A creature that falls into the pit takes 3 (1d6) Bludgeoning damage from the fall.
+
+**_Detect and Disarm._** As a Study action, a creature can examine the section of floor that forms the pit's lid and make a DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check, detecting the pit on a successful check. Once the pit is detected, an Iron Spike or a similar object can be wedged between the pit's lid and the surrounding floor to prevent the lid from opening, thereby making it safe to cross. The cover can also be held shut using *Arcane Lock* or similar magic.
+
+**_Escape._** A creature needs a Climb Speed, climbing gear, or magic such as *Spider Climb* to scale the pit's smooth walls. You can make the pit easier to escape by adding cracks in the walls big enough to serve as handholds and footholds.
+
+**_At Higher Levels._** You can scale the trap for higher levels by increasing the pit's depth and damage, as shown in the following table.
+
+| Levels | Pit Depth | Bludgeoning Damage |
+|--------|-----------|--------------------|
+| 5–10   | 30 feet   | 10 (3d6)           |
+| 11–16  | 60 feet   | 21 (6d6)           |
+| 17–20  | 120 feet  | 42 (12d6)          |
+
+#### Poisoned Darts
+
+*Deadly Trap (Levels 1–4)*
+
+**Trigger:** A creature moves onto a pressure plate 
+
+**Duration:** Instantaneous, and the trap resets at the start of the next turn if it has activated fewer than three times
+
+When a creature moves onto this trap's pressure plate for the first time on a turn, poisoned darts shoot from tubes embedded in the surrounding walls. The holes that house these tubes are obscured by dust and cobwebs or skillfully hidden amid bas-reliefs, murals, or frescoes.
+
+Each creature in the darts' path must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be struck by 1d3 darts, taking 3 (1d6) Poison damage per dart.
+
+**_Detect and Disarm._** As a Search action, a creature can examine the walls and make a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check, detecting the holes on a successful check. Plugging all the holes with wax, cloth, or detritus prevents the darts from firing.
+
+As a Search action, a creature can examine the section of floor that forms the pressure plate and make a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check, detecting the pressure plate on a successful check. Wedging an Iron Spike or a similar object under the pressure plate prevents the trap from triggering.
+
+**_At Higher Levels._** You can scale the trap for higher levels by increasing each dart's Poison damage as follows: 7 (2d6) at levels 5–10, 14 (4d6) at levels 11–16, or 24 (7d6) at levels 17–20.
+
+#### Poisoned Needle
+
+*Nuisance Trap (Levels 1–4)*
+
+**Trigger:** A creature opens the trap's lock improperly or fails to disarm the trap 
+
+**Duration:** Instantaneous
+
+A poisoned needle is hidden in a lock. When a creature opens the lock with any object other than the proper key, the needle springs out and stabs the creature. The creature makes a DC 11 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 5 (1d10) Poison damage and has the Poisoned condition for 1 hour. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage only.
+
+**_Avoid._** The trap doesn't trigger if the lock is opened using a *Knock* spell or similar magic.
+
+**_Detect and Disarm._** As a Search action, a creature can examine the trapped lock and make a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check, detecting the needle on a successful check. Once the trap is detected, a character can take an action to try to disarm the trap, doing so with a successful DC 15 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check. On a failed check, the creature triggers the trap.
+
+**_At Higher Levels._** You can scale the trap for higher levels by increasing the damage and the save DC, as shown in the following table.
+
+| Levels | Poison Damage | Save DC |
+|--------|---------------|---------|
+| 5–10   | 11 (2d10)     | 13      |
+| 11–16  | 22 (4d10)     | 15      |
+| 17–20  | 55 (10d10)    | 17      |
+
+#### Rolling Stone
+
+*Deadly Trap (Levels 11–16) or Nuisance Trap (Levels 17–20)*
+
+**Trigger:** A creature moves onto a pressure plate 
+
+**Duration:** Until the stone stops rolling
+
+When a creature moves onto a hidden pressure plate, a 5-foot-radius orb of solid stone is released from a secret compartment and begins to roll. The stone and all creatures nearby roll Initiative; the stone gets a +8 bonus on its Initiative roll.
+
+On its turn, the stone moves 60 feet in one direction, changing course if redirected by an obstacle. The stone can move through creatures' spaces, and creatures can move through the stone's space, treating it as Difficult Terrain. Whenever the stone enters a creature's space for the first time on a turn or a creature enters the stone's space while the stone is rolling, that creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 55 (10d10) Bludgeoning damage and have the Prone condition.
+
+The stone stops when it hits a wall or similar barrier. It can't go around corners, but creative dungeon builders incorporate curving turns into nearby passages that allow the stone to keep moving.
+
+**_Detect and Disarm._** As a Study action, a creature can examine the section of floor that forms the pressure plate and make a DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check, deducing the pressure plate's function on a successful check. Wedging an Iron Spike or a similar object under the pressure plate prevents the trap from triggering.
+
+**_Destroy the Stone._** The stone is a Large object that has AC 17, HP 100, a Damage Threshold of 10, and Immunity to Poison and Psychic damage.
+
+**_Slow the Stone._** As an action, a creature can try to slow down the stone with a DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check. If the check is successful, the distance the stone moves on its turn is reduced by 15 feet. If that distance drops to 0, it stops moving and is no longer a threat.
+
+#### Spiked Pit
+
+*Deadly Trap (Levels 1–4)*
+
+**Trigger:** A creature moves onto the pit's lid 
+
+**Duration:** Instantaneous
+
+A 10-foot-deep pit has a hinged lid constructed from material identical to the surrounding floor. When a creature moves onto the lid, it swings open like a trapdoor, causing the creature to fall into the pit, which has sharpened wooden or metal spikes at the bottom. The lid remains open thereafter.
+
+A creature that falls into the pit lands at the bottom and takes 3 (1d6) Bludgeoning damage from the fall plus 9 (2d8) Piercing damage from the spikes.
+
+**_Detect and Disarm._** As a Study action, a creature can examine the section of floor that forms the pit's lid and make a DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check, detecting the pit on a successful check. Once the hidden pit is detected, an Iron Spike or a similar object can be wedged between the pit's lid and the surrounding floor to prevent the lid from opening, thereby making it safe to cross. The cover can also be held shut using an *Arcane Lock* spell or similar magic.
+
+**_Escape._** A creature needs a Climb Speed, climbing gear, or magic such as a *Spider Climb* spell to scale the pit's smooth walls. You can make the pit easier to escape by adding cracks in the walls big enough to serve as handholds and footholds.
+
+**_At Higher Levels._** You can scale the trap for higher levels by increasing the pit's depth and damage, as shown in the following table.
+
+| Levels | Pit Depth | Damage                                        |
+|--------|-----------|-----------------------------------------------|
+| 5–10   | 30 feet   | 10 (3d6) Bludgeoning plus 13 (3d8) Piercing   |
+| 11–16  | 60 feet   | 21 (6d6) Bludgeoning plus 36 (8d8) Piercing   |
+| 17–20  | 120 feet  | 42 (12d6) Bludgeoning plus 57 (13d8) Piercing |
+
+## Combat Encounters
+
+The following features can make a combat encounter more interesting or challenging:
+
+**Changes in Elevation.** Terrain features that provide a change of elevation (such as stacks of empty crates, ledges, and balconies) reward clever positioning and encourage characters to jump, climb, fly, or teleport.
+
+**Defensive Positions.** Enemies in hard-to-reach locations or defensive positions force characters who normally attack at range to move around.
+
+**Mixed Monster Groups.** When different types of monsters work together, they can combine their abilities—just like characters with different classes and origins. A diverse force is more powerful.
+
+**Reasons to Move.** Use features that encourage characters and their enemies to move around, such as chandeliers, kegs of gunpowder or oil, and rolling stone traps.
+
+### Combat Encounter Difficulty
+
+Use the following guidelines to create a combat encounter of a desired level of difficulty.
+
+#### Step 1: Choose a Difficulty
+
+Three categories describe the range of encounter difficulty:
+
+**Low Difficulty.** An encounter of low difficulty is likely to have one or two scary moments for the players, but their characters should emerge victorious with no casualties. One or more of them might need to use healing resources, however. As a rough guideline, a single monster generally presents a low-difficulty challenge for a party of four characters whose level equals the monster's Challenge Rating.
+
+**Moderate Difficulty.** Absent healing and other resources, an encounter of moderate difficulty could go badly for the adventurers. Weaker characters might get taken out of the fight, and there's a slim chance that one or more characters might die.
+
+**High Difficulty.** A high-difficulty encounter could be lethal for one or more characters. To survive it, the characters will need smart tactics, quick thinking, and maybe even a little luck.
+
+#### Step 2: Determine Your XP Budget
+
+Using the XP Budget per Character table, cross-reference the party's level with the desired encounter difficulty. Multiply the number in the table by the number of characters in the party to get your XP budget for the encounter.
+
+Table: XP Budget per Character: ——— Encounter Difficulty ——— 
+
+| Party's Level | Low DC | Moderate DC | High DC |
+|---------------|--------|-------------|---------|
+| 1             | 50     | 75          | 100     |
+| 2             | 100    | 150         | 200     |
+| 3             | 150    | 225         | 400     |
+| 4             | 250    | 375         | 500     |
+| 5             | 500    | 750         | 1,100   |
+| 6             | 600    | 1,000       | 1,400   |
+| 7             | 750    | 1,300       | 1,700   |
+| 8             | 1,000  | 1,700       | 2,100   |
+| 9             | 1,300  | 2,000       | 2,600   |
+| 10            | 1,600  | 2,300       | 3,100   |
+| 11            | 1,900  | 2,900       | 4,100   |
+| 12            | 2,200  | 3,700       | 4,700   |
+| 13            | 2,600  | 4,200       | 5,400   |
+| 14            | 2,900  | 4,900       | 6,200   |
+| 15            | 3,300  | 5,400       | 7,800   |
+| 16            | 3,800  | 6,100       | 9,800   |
+| 17            | 4,500  | 7,200       | 11,700  |
+| 18            | 5,000  | 8,700       | 14,200  |
+| 19            | 5,500  | 10,700      | 17,200  |
+| 20            | 6,400  | 13,200      | 22,000  |
+
+#### Step 3: Spend Your Budget
+
+Every creature has an XP value in its stat block. When you add a creature to your combat encounter, deduct its XP from your XP budget to determine how many XP you have left to spend. Spend as much of your XP budget as you can without going over. It's OK if you have a few unspent XP left over. Examples are given below:
+
+**Example 1.** A low-difficulty encounter for four level 1 characters has an XP budget of 50 × 4, for a total of 200 XP. With that, you could build any of the following encounters:
+- 1 **Bugbear Warrior** (200 XP)
+- 2 **Giant Wasps** (100 XP each), for 200 XP total
+- 6 **Giant Rats** (25 XP each), for 150 XP total
+
+**Example 2.** A moderate-difficulty encounter for five level 3 characters has an XP budget of 225 × 5, for a total of 1,125 XP. With that, you could build either of these encounters:
+- 2 **Druids** (450 XP each) and 9 **Stirges** (25 XP each), for 1,125 XP total
+- 1 **Wight** (700 XP), 1 **Warhorse Skeleton** (100 XP), and 6 **Skeletons** (50 XP each), for 1,100 XP total
+
+**Example 3.** A high-difficulty encounter for six level 15 characters has an XP budget of 7,800 × 6, for a total of 46,800 XP. With that, you could build this encounter:
+
+- 2 **Adult Red Dragons** (18,000 XP each) and 2 **Fire Giants** (5,000 XP each), for 46,000 XP total
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+When creating and running combat encounters, keep the following in mind.
+
+#### Many Creatures
+
+The more creatures in an encounter, the higher the risk that a lucky streak on their part could deal more damage to the characters than you expect. If your encounter includes more than two creatures per character, include fragile creatures that can be defeated quickly. This guideline is especially important for characters of level 1 or 2.
+
+#### Adjustments
+
+A player's absence might warrant removing creatures from an encounter to keep it at the intended difficulty. Also, die rolls and other factors can result in an encounter being easier or harder than intended. You can adjust an encounter on the fly, such as by having creatures flee (making the encounter easier) or adding reinforcements (making the encounter harder).
+
+#### CR 0 Creatures
+
+Creatures that have a CR of 0, particularly ones that are worth 0 XP, should be used sparingly. If you want to include many CR 0 critters in an encounter, use swarms instead.
+
+#### Number of Stat Blocks
+
+The best combat encounters often pair one kind of creature with another, such as fire giants paired with hell hounds. Be mindful of the number of stat blocks you need to run the encounter. Referencing more than two or three stat blocks for a single encounter can be daunting, particularly if the creatures are complex.
+
+#### Powerful Creatures
+
+If your combat encounter includes a creature whose CR is higher than the party's level, be aware that such a creature might deal enough damage with a single action to take out one or more characters. For example, an **Ogre** (CR 2) can kill a level 1 Wizard with a single blow.
+
+#### Unusual Features
+
+If a monster has a feature that lower-level characters can't easily overcome, consider not adding that monster to an encounter for characters whose level is lower than the monster's Challenge Rating.

+# Monsters
+
+## Stat Block Overview
+
+A monster has a stat block that contains the rules necessary to use it in the game. Stat blocks are divided into the following parts:
+
+- **Name and General Details.** The name of the monster is followed by its size, creature type (along with any descriptive tags), and alignment.
+- **Combat Highlights.** Armor Class, Hit Points, Speed, and Initiative are provided here.
+- **Ability Scores.** A monster's ability scores, ability modifiers, and saving throws are listed here.
+- **Other Details.** The monster's Senses, Languages, and CR entries appear here. Additional details appear in some monsters, such as skill proficiencies, Resistances, Immunities, and Gear. If a monster lacks those details, entries for them don't appear.
+- **Traits.** Monster characteristics that are active at all times or during certain situations appear here.
+- **Actions.** The monster can take the actions here in addition to those in "Playing the Game."
+- **Bonus Actions.** This section provides a monster's Bonus Actions, if any.
+- **Reactions and Legendary Actions.** These sections provide Reactions and Legendary Actions, if any.
+
+## Parts of a Stat Block
+
+The rules for a stat block are detailed in "Rules Glossary" and in this section.
+
+### Size
+
+A monster is Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge, or Gargantuan. If size options are presented, you choose the creature's size from those options. See "Playing the Game" for information on size.
+
+### Creature Type
+
+Each monster has a tag that identifies the type of creature it is. Certain spells, magic items, class features, and other effects in the game interact in special ways with creatures of a particular type.
+
+The game includes the following creature types, which have no rules of their own:
+
+- **Aberrations** are utterly alien beings, such as aboleths and cloakers.
+- **Beasts** are non-Humanoid natural creatures, like horses and wolves, as well as most giant animals.
+- **Celestials** are magical creatures, such as angels and pegasi, with ties to the Upper Planes.
+- **Constructs** are magically created creatures such as homunculi and shield guardians.
+- **Dragons** are scaly beings of ancient origin, such as red dragons and wyverns.
+- **Elementals** are beings from the Elemental Planes, such as efreet and water elementals.
+- **Fey** are creatures tied to the Feywild or the forces of nature, such as dryads and goblins.
+- **Fiends** are creatures tied to terrifying Lower Planes, such as balors and hell hounds.
+- **Giants** are towering beings with humanlike shapes, like fire giants and trolls.
+- **Humanoids** are people defined by their roles and professions, such as mages, pirates, and warriors. They include members of varied species.
+- **Monstrosities** are unnatural creatures with strange origins, such as mimics and owlbears.
+- **Oozes** are gelatinous creatures, including black puddings and gelatinous cubes.
+- **Plants** are sentient vegetation and fungal monsters, such as shambling mounds and treants.
+- **Undead** are spirits and the reanimated dead, such as ghosts, vampires, and zombies.
+
+#### Descriptive Tags
+
+A monster might have one or more tags in parentheses following its type. Such tags provide additional categorization and have no rules of their own, but certain game effects might refer to them.
+
+### Alignment
+
+The alignment specified in a monster's stat block is a default suggestion of how to roleplay the monster, inspired by its traditional role in the game or realworld folklore. Change a monster's alignment to suit your storytelling needs. The Neutral alignment, in particular, is an invitation for you to consider whether an individual leans toward one of the other alignments.
+
+"Character Creation" describes the nine alignments and unaligned creatures.
+
+### Armor Class
+
+A monster's Armor Class (AC) includes its natural armor, Dexterity, gear, and other defenses. See "Playing the Game" for information on Armor Class.
+
+### Initiative
+
+The Initiative entry specifies the monster's Initiative modifier followed by the monster's Initiative score in parentheses. Use the modifier when you roll to determine a monster's Initiative. A monster's Initiative modifier is typically equal to its Dexterity modifier, but some monsters have additional modifiers, such as Proficiency Bonus, applied to that number.
+
+If you don't want to roll a monster's Initiative, use the Initiative score as the monster's Initiative in combat. Initiative is further detailed in "Playing the Game*."*
+
+### Hit Points
+
+A monster's Hit Points are presented as a number followed by parentheses, where the monster's Hit Point Dice are provided, along with any contribution from its Constitution. Either use the number for the monster's Hit Points or roll the die expression in parentheses to determine the monster's Hit Points randomly; don't use both.
+
+A monster's size typically determines the die used to calculate its Hit Points, as shown in the Hit Dice by Size table.
+
+Table: Hit Dice by Size
+
+| Monster Size | Hit Die | Average HP per Die |
+|--------------|---------|--------------------|
+| Tiny         | d4      | 2½                 |
+| Small        | d6      | 3½                 |
+| Medium       | d8      | 4½                 |
+| Large        | d10     | 5½                 |
+| Huge         | d12     | 6½                 |
+| Gargantuan   | d20     | 10½                |
+
+A monster's 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).
+
+For more on Hit Points, see "Playing the Game*."*
+
+### Speed
+
+The Speed entry specifies a monster's Speed. Some monsters have one or more of the following speeds: Burrow, Climb, Fly, Swim. Rules for Speed and these specials speeds appear in "Rules Glossary*."*
+
+### Ability Scores
+
+Every monster has six ability scores along with corresponding ability score modifiers and saving throw modifiers. For more information on ability scores and saving throws, see "Playing the Game*."*
+
+### Skills
+
+The Skills entry specifies a monster's skill proficiencies, if any. For example, a monster that is very perceptive and stealthy might have bonuses to Wisdom (Perception) and Dexterity (Stealth) checks. A skill bonus is the sum of a monster's relevant ability modifier and its Proficiency Bonus. Other modifiers might apply.
+
+### Resistances and Vulnerabilities
+
+These entries list a monster's Resistances and Vulnerabilities, if any. See "Playing the Game" for more information.
+
+> ### Running a Monster
+>
+> To ensure a monster acts in accordance with its Challenge Rating, follow these rules during combat:
+> 
+> - **Special Abilities.** If the monster has a special ability that deals a lot of damage but has a limited number of uses, such as a recharging breath weapon or a spell it can cast only once per day, have it use that special ability as quickly and as often as possible.
+> - **Multiattack.** If the monster has Multiattack, have it use Multiattack on any of its turns in which it's not using one of its more powerful abilities.
+> - **Bonus Actions, Reactions, Legendary Actions.** If the monster has Bonus Actions, Reactions, or Legendary Actions in its stat block, make sure it uses them as often as it can.
+
+### Immunities
+
+This entry lists the monster's Immunities, if any. If the monster has damage and condition Immunities, the damage types are listed before the conditions. See "Playing the Game" for details.
+
+### Gear
+
+Monsters have proficiency with their equipment. If a monster has equipment that can be given away or retrieved, the items are listed in the Gear entry. The monster's stat block might include special flourishes that happen when the monster uses an item, and the stat block might ignore the rules in "Equipment" for that item. When used by someone else, a retrievable item uses its "Equipment" rules, ignoring any special flourishes in the stat block.
+
+The Gear entry doesn't necessarily list all of a monster's equipment. For example, a monster that wears clothes is assumed to be dressed appropriately, and those clothes aren't in this entry.
+
+Equipment mentioned outside the Gear entry is considered to be supernatural or highly specialized, and it is unusable when the monster is defeated.
+
+#### Ammunition and Ranged Attacks
+
+A monster that requires ammunition to make ranged attacks carries the necessary ammunition.
+
+#### Equipping a Monster with Other Items
+
+You may equip monsters with additional gear however you like, using the items in "Equipment" for inspiration. 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.
+
+Beware of giving a monster combat-oriented magic items, since those might alter the monster's Challenge Rating. If you do give a monster a magic item, the monster can have Attunement with magic items as noted in "Equipment." A monster with a class tag after its creature type is considered a member of that class for Attunement purposes.
+
+### Senses
+
+The Senses entry specifies a monster's Passive Perception score, as well as any special senses the monster possesses. Passive Perception and special senses are described in "Rules Glossary."
+
+### Languages
+
+This entry lists languages that the monster can use to communicate. Sometimes a monster can understand a language but can't communicate with it, which is noted in its entry. "None" indicates that a creature doesn't comprehend any language.
+
+#### Telepathy
+
+Telepathy is a magical ability that allows a creature to communicate mentally with another creature within a specified range. See "Rules Glossary" for more information.
+
+### Challenge Rating
+
+Challenge Rating is defined in "Rules Glossary," while guidance on using CR to plan potential combat encounters is in "Gameplay Toolbox."
+
+#### Experience Points
+
+The number of Experience Points (XP) a monster is worth is based on its CR, as detailed in the Experience Points by Challenge Rating table. XP is awarded for defeating the monster in combat or otherwise neutralizing it.
+
+Unless a rule says otherwise, a monster summoned by a spell or another magical ability is worth the XP noted in its stat block.
+
+Table: Experience Points by Challenge Rating
+
+| CR  | XP      |
+|-----|---------|
+| 0   | 0 or 10 |
+| 1/8 | 25      |
+| 1/4 | 50      |
+| 1/2 | 100     |
+| 1   | 200     |

+#### Proficiency Bonus
+
+A monster's Proficiency Bonus (PB) is determined by its CR, as shown in the Proficiency Bonus by Challenge Rating table, and is reflected in saving throws, skills, and other statistics where the monster's exceptional aptitude is a factor.

+
+### Traits
+
+A monster's traits, if any, are features that are active at all times or in certain situations.
+
+### Actions
+
+A monster can take the actions in this section or take one of the actions available to all creatures, as described in "Playing the Game."
+
+#### Attack Notation
+
+The entry for a monster's attack identifies whether the attack is a melee or a ranged attack and then provides the attack roll's bonus, its reach or range, and what happens on a hit. An attack is against one target unless its entry says otherwise. For details on different kinds of attacks, see "Playing the Game" and "Spells."
+
+**_Hit._** Any damage dealt or other effects that occur as a result of an attack hitting a target are described after the "*Hit:*" notation.
+
+**_Miss._** If an attack has an effect that occurs on a miss, that information follows the "*Miss:*" notation.
+
+**_Hit or Miss._** If an attack has an effect that occurs regardless of whether it hits or misses its target, that information follows the "*Hit or Miss:*" notation.
+
+#### Saving Throw Effect Notation
+
+If an effect forces a saving throw, the effect identifies the kind of save required and then provides the save's DC, a description of which creatures make the save, and an explanation of what happens on a failed or successful save.
+
+"Half damage only" on a successful save means the target takes half as much damage (round down) as targets that fail the save, while also ignoring all other parts of the effect.
+
+#### Damage Notation
+
+A stat block usually provides both a number and a die expression for each instance of damage. For example, an attack might deal 4 (1d4 + 2) damage on a hit. You decide whether to use the number or the die expression in parentheses; don't use both.
+
+#### Multiattack
+
+Some creatures can make more than one attack when they take the Attack action. Such creatures have the Multiattack entry in the "Actions" section of their stat block. This entry details the attacks a creature can make, as well as any additional abilities it can use, as part of the Attack action.
+
+#### Spellcasting
+
+If a monster can cast any spells, its stat block lists the spells and provides the monster's spellcasting ability, spell save DC (if any spells require a saving throw), and spell attack bonus (if any spells require an attack roll). Unless noted otherwise, a spell of level 1 or higher is always cast at its lowest possible level and can't be cast at a higher level.
+
+A monster's spell can have special rules or restrictions. For example, a green hag can cast the *Invisibility* spell, but the spell has a "self only" restriction, which means the spell affects only the hag.
+
+**_Spell Components._** The Spellcasting trait notes whether the monster's spellcasting ignores the need for certain spell components. If any spell components are required, describe the monster's use of Verbal, Somatic, or Material components to signal to characters that it is casting a spell. A monster that requires Material components has them.
+
+**_Casting Times of 1+ Minutes._** If a spell has a casting time of 1 minute or more yet is listed in a spellcasting action, the monster doesn't cast the spell in just one action unless the action's description states otherwise; the monster must take the Magic action on each of its turns and maintain Concentration to cast the spell, as described in "Rules Glossary."
+
+### Bonus Action
+
+If a monster has Bonus Action options, they are listed in this section. See "Playing the Game" for details on Bonus Actions.
+
+### Reactions
+
+If the monster has Reaction options, those are listed in this section along with their triggers. See "Playing the Game" for details on Reactions.
+
+### Legendary Actions
+
+If the monster has Legendary Action options, those are listed in this section. A Legendary Action is an action that a monster can take immediately after another creature's turn. Only one of these actions can be taken at a time and only after another creature's turn ends. The monster can't take a Legendary Action if it has the Incapacitated condition or is otherwise unable to take actions.
+
+The monster has a limited number of Legendary Action uses, and that number is specified in the stat block. The monster expends one use whenever it takes a Legendary Action, and it regains all expended uses at the start of each of its turns.
+
+### Limited Usage
+
+Some parts of a stat block have restrictions on the number of times they can be used. Here are the most common ways that usage is limited:
+
+- **X/Day.** This notation means the stat block part can be used a certain number of times (represented by X) and that a monster must finish a Long Rest to regain expended uses. For example, a Reaction that includes "1/Day" means the Reaction can be taken once and that the monster must finish a Long Rest to take it again.
+- **Recharge X–Y.** This notation means a monster can use the stat block part once. At the start of each of the monster's turns, roll 1d6. If the roll is within the number range given in the notation (represented by X–Y), the monster regains the use of that part, which also recharges when the monster finishes a Short or Long Rest. For example, "Recharge 5–6" in an action means a monster can take the action once. Then, at the start of each of the monster's turns, it regains the use of that action if it rolls a 5 or 6 on 1d6.
+- **Recharge after a Short or Long Rest.** This notation means the monster can use the stat block part once and must then finish a Short or Long Rest to use it again.
