Slitherswamp is designed for four 10th-level characters, and characters who defeat the monsters on this level should gain enough XP to reach halfway to 11th level. This level consists of muck-filled caverns and decaying temples dedicated to evil deities of the yuan-ti. The serpent folk lived here until they were defeated by nagas known as the Ssethian Scourges. Afterward, Halaster replaced the yuan-ti with a bullywug tribe governed by a cruel death slaad overlord.

The Ssethian Scourges
The Ssethian Scourges were three spirit nagas that fought the yuan-ti of the Slitherswamp, eventually claiming victory. Only two spirit nagas remain, Excrutha and Serakath, along with their thralls and the remnants of the third spirit naga, Hexacali, who was destroyed and transformed into a bone naga by the yuan-ti.
The spirit nagas maintain a stable of thralls and use a rod of rulership to insure their obedience. Every day at dawn, the nagas gather their thralls in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#15aArena]{area 15a} and target them again with the recharged rod, and each naga has the special ability to increase the duration of the charm effect to 12 hours. Humanoid thralls that resist the rodâs magic often choose to maintain the appearance of being charmed for the sake of their own &Reference[sur]{survival}, because the nagas kill or chain up those they canât magically enslave.
Shortly after the Ssethian Scourges defeated their yuan-ti foes, a tribe of bullywugs led by a death slaad appeared in the Slitherswamp. Frustrated by this new obstacle to their dominance of the level, the nagas now seek allies to slay the bullywugs and their leader. The nagas know the locations of all the magic gates on this level, as well as how to activate them. They share that information with creatures that willingly serve them.
The Blacktongues
A year ago, Halaster used his magic to transport the Blacktongue tribe of bullywugs, along with its small army of giant frogs and giant toads, from a remote marshland to this level of Undermountain. He seeded them into those parts of Slitherswamp once controlled by the yuan-ti. The bullywugs were quick to capture and domesticate four carrion crawlers and a hydra.
Halaster also summoned a death slaad named Kuketh to Slitherswamp. The Mad Mage keeps the slaadâs control gem in his sanctuary on @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.Ejk7LljTxjimGgGq.JournalEntryPage.Ejk7LljTxjimGgGq]{level 9} and forces Kuketh to serve as the bullywugsâ king. The Blacktongues live in fear of their new king, whom they call Yurk Yâblorkflug (âlord of fetid obliterationâ in their language). The slaad hates being under Halasterâs control and takes out its frustration on its subjects.
Carrion Crawler Mucus
Blacktongue bullywugs coat their weapons with carrion crawler mucus. A creature hit by a bullywugâs Spear attack must succeed on a [[/save con 13 format=long]] or be poisoned for 1 minute. A creature poisoned in this way is also paralyzed. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Karstis of Dweomercore
The mages of Dweomercore (@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.Ejk7LljTxjimGgGq.JournalEntryPage.Ejk7LljTxjimGgGq]{level 9}) have sent one of their own, a human named Karstis, to monitor this level. He hides in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#7WardedCavern]{areas 7} and @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#8DweomercoreHideout]{8} with his minions. Karstis is an ally of those looking to thin out any of the factions in Slitherswamp, but a foe to anyone who tries to gain access to Dweomercore.

Â
This entire level is wet and humid. Ordinary frogs, toads, and insects thrive here.
The sloping tunnel from @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.05adz4uLj2VKhmsk.JournalEntryPage.05adz4uLj2VKhmsk]{level 7} ends 20 feet above the marshy ground of area 2.
Humidity. The walls and floor of the tunnel drip with moisture from the humidity, and buzzing insects are everywhere.
Rope Ladder. The crumbling remains of a ramp lie below the precipice. A slimy rope ladder has been anchored with spikes to its western edge.
The rope ladder has been smeared with carrion crawler mucus. Any creature climbing down the ladder must succeed on a [[/save con 13 format=long]] or be poisoned for 1 minute. A creature poisoned in this way is also paralyzed and falls from the rope ladder into the muck of area 2 below, taking [[/damage 1d6 bludgeoning average=true]] damage. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the mucusâs effect on itself on a success.
Ceiling. This swampy cavern has an uneven 30-foot-high ceiling.
Fireflies. Harmless fireflies flit over strange fungal plants that sprout from the swamp, filling the cavern with eerie dim light.
Bullywugs. Three @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbBulWar4831017]{bullywugs} use their Swamp Camouflage feature to hide in the swampy tunnel leading to area 19.
The bullywugs watch the tunnel that leads to @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.05adz4uLj2VKhmsk.JournalEntryPage.05adz4uLj2VKhmsk]{level 7}. When they spot the characters, three of them try to sneak away to @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#19aAmphibiousGuards]{areas 19a} and @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#20BlacktongueIsle]{20}, to warn the rest of the tribe. The others wait to see where the intruders go.
A three-forked passageway rises out of the swamp. The center passage has an arch embedded in its back wall. This arch is one of Halasterâs magic gates (see â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.pn94XkUkGeqTubWa.JournalEntryPage.eBW71op2CxZ3BUdn#Gates]{Gates}â). The space inside it bears a bas-relief of a female dwarf standing with her eyes closed. A keyhole is carved into the head of a stone hammer she clutches to her chest. The rules of this gate are as follows:
- If the stone key from @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.9HNTfFT2cLU7bmxl.JournalEntryPage.AnSb1yLiR0iimVbf#14aRizzerylsHideout]{area 14a on level 2} is inserted into the keyhole, the bas-relief and the key vanish as the gate opens for 1 minute. When the gate closes, the bas-relief reappears, and the key is ejected from its keyhole.
- A character can open the gate without the stone key by using an action to pick the lock, requiring a successful [[/check dex 20 format=long]] using thievesâ tools. If the check fails, the dwarfâs eyes open and emit light. Each creature within 10 feet of the arch must make a [[/save dex 16 format=long]], taking [[/damage 4d10 radiant average=true]] damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- Characters must be 9th level or higher to pass through this gate (see â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.pn94XkUkGeqTubWa.JournalEntryPage.rfQ4m9m2RCHUyRSz#JhesiyraKestellharp]{Jhesiyra Kestellharp}â). The first creature to pass through the gate triggers an elder rune (see â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.pn94XkUkGeqTubWa.JournalEntryPage.eBW71op2CxZ3BUdn#ElderRunes]{Elder Runes}â).
- A creature that passes through the gate appears in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.HJsSt5ImWIAPxxh7.JournalEntryPage.WCp6UHKzHSYXnWJB#34bArchGatetoLevel8]{area 34b on level 6}, in the closest unoccupied space next to the identical gate located there.
A 20-foot-high dry ledge (area 4a) overlooks a 30-foot-high cavern filled with vegetation and ankle-deep mud (area 4b). This areaâs features are as follows:
Vegetation. Luminescent, fern-like plants sprouting from the mud fill this area with dim light.
Severed Limb. Part of the ledge wall is stained with blood. Directly below the stain, a severed leg wearing a sturdy boot sticks up out of the mud.
This 20-foot-high ledge can be climbed with a successful DC 15 Strength (&Reference[ath]{Athletics}) check. Atop the ledge, above the bloodstain but not visible from the tunnel floor, the body of a duergar sprawls near a campsite. The corpse is that of Thubid Duskaxe, a duergar adventurer on a rescue mission. He lost a leg when he fought the shambling mounds and subsequently bled to death.
Treasure. The corpse wears a leather satchel that contains 224 gp, an ornate stone carving of an owl (50 gp), and a journal written in Dwarvish. The journal contains a map showing areas 1 through 6, as well as notes of âfrog people to the northeastâ and âserpents with foul magic to the southeast.â The journal describes Thubidâs plan to find allies to help him rescue his cousin, Agorra, who was âbewitched by the serpents.â
Any character who succeeds on a DC 12 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check is not surprised when three @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbShaMou5195203]{shambling mounds} attack. The shambling mounds chase creatures through the mud but ignore creatures atop the ledge.
This dry, 20-foot-high cavern stands empty and serves as a good place to rest on this level.
This swampy cavern has a 50-foot-high ceiling of jagged rock. Rising from the mire is an island of dry rock, upon which are the following features:
Ruins and Statue. Amid the ruins of a dome built of black stone is a statue of a snake with closed eyes swallowing its own tail.
Apparition. The ghostly image of an adventurer moves through the area, looking lost.
The ghostly image of a male human warrior in plate armor wanders around the statue as though searching for something he has lost. The image cannot be harmed and does not acknowledge the characters. If a character dies on this level, the image changes to appear as that character, even if the character is later raised from the dead. A @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DispelMagic14III]{dispel magic} spell that targets the image causes it to disappear for 1 hour.
A successful DC 15 Intelligence (&Reference[rel]{Religion}) check suggests that the statue is a representation of Dendar the Night Serpent, the yuan-ti god of nightmares. Any character who touches the statue is cursed. Until the curse is ended with a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.RemoveCurse14III]{remove curse} spell or similar magic, the character is beset by nightmares and gains no benefit from a long rest.
A @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.GlyphOfWardi14II]{glyph of warding} spell has been cast on the floor at the center of the 10-foot-high cavern. The glyph triggers a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Cloudkill14IIIII]{cloudkill} spell (save DC 15) when any creature other than Karstis passes the midpoint of the cavern. The spellâs cloud lasts for 10 minutes.
These caves are used by the mages of Dweomercore (@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.Ejk7LljTxjimGgGq.JournalEntryPage.Ejk7LljTxjimGgGq]{level 9}) to keep an eye on their neighbors. The cavesâ inhabitants include a mage named Karstis.
If death or capture seems likely, Karstis grabs his spellbook in area 8b and flees to @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.Ejk7LljTxjimGgGq.JournalEntryPage.Ejk7LljTxjimGgGq]{level 9} after instructing his bodyguards to cover his escape. Thereafter, Karstis can be encountered in area 8c on level 9.
Golem. A @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbFleGol5194997]{flesh golem} stands watch in the middle of this 10-foot-high cave, facing the entrance.
Wights. Two @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbWight5195269I]{wights} are on guard at the south end of the cave (outside area 8b).
Crates. Three open crates are stored in the westernmost alcove. They contain sheets of parchment, small jars of ink, quills, 10 days of edible rations, and five 2-gallon casks of clean water.
If the glyph in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#7WardedCavern]{area 7} triggers, the flesh golem and the wights canât be surprised. The golem was crafted by Wormriddle the night hag (see @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#9TempleoftheGreatSnake]{level 9}). If the golem goes berserk, neither Karstis nor any of his other servants can regain control of it.
Karstis (LE male Mulhorandi human @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbMage4831023II]{mage}) lurks here with four @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbMinSke5195127]{minotaur skeletons}. The 10-foot-high cave is lit by a hooded lantern that rests on a portable writing desk covered in quills, ink jars, and books. A folding cot rests near the back wall.
Treasure. Amid the clutter on the desk, characters can find Karstisâs spellbook. The book is bound in human flesh and contains all the spells Karstis has prepared, plus @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.AnimateDead14III]{animate dead} and @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.GlyphOfWardi14II]{glyph of warding}.
This 30-foot-high cavern is dominated by a ruin that contains the following:
Carvings. The interior walls are covered in carvings of snakes, fanged maws, and open ophidian eyes.
Black Statue. The northwest section of the temple contains a black stone statue of a masked, hooded male humanoid dressed in leather armor and clutching a dripping dagger in each hand. Harmless centipedes crawl all over the statue.
Green Statue. The middle chamber contains a statue carved of green stone, depicting a 15-foot-tall winged snake with its fangs bared. Harmless snakes slither around the statueâs base.
Ghost. Wandering through the ruin is a spectral woman wearing a soiled black gown and a featureless white mask (actually the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbGhost5195008I]{ghost} of a slain yuan-ti priest).
A yuan-ti pureblood priest named Yoastal was slain by the Ssethian Scourges and remains bound to the temple. Because she cannot leave, she tries to trick others into completing her unfinished business, knowing that she cannot rest until the Ssethian Scourges are dead.
Yoastal can be both friend and foe to an adventuring party. The ghost claims to have once been a cleric of Mask, cursed to remain in Slitherswamp until the nagas are destroyed. She provides characters with the layout of the level in exchange for promises to free her. But her information is always slanted toward leading the characters into situations that might further escalate the war between the Ssethian Scourges and the Blacktongues.
If Yoastal is destroyed while any of the nagas live, she re-forms in this ruined building in 1d4 days.
Water trickling down from the ceiling falls onto this statue and drips off its daggers like poison. A character who succeeds on a DC 15 Intelligence (&Reference[rel]{Religion}) check recognizes the statue as a representation of the yuan-ti god Sseth.
A character who searches through the mud around the statue and succeeds on a DC 15 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check discovers a rotting sack and also digs up a hostile @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbSwOfIn5195224]{swarm of insects (centipedes)}.
Treasure. The sack contains 550 gp.
A character who succeeds on a DC 15 Intelligence (&Reference[rel]{Religion}) check recognizes this statue as another representation of Sseth.
Water pours from the ceiling of these 20-foot-high caves like a heavy rain. Consequently, creatures in this area have disadvantage on Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) checks that rely on sight or sound.
This cavern is flooded to a depth of 4 feet. The water glows green around an emerald that lies on the floor in the middle of the cavern. This gemstone has been blessed by Sseth, such that it turns the water around it to poison. Any creature that starts its turn in the water must make a [[/save con 12 format=long]], taking [[/damage 2d10 poison average=true]] damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Water that leaves the cavern is no longer poisonous, and the water in the cavern ceases to be poisonous once the emerald is removed from it.
Treasure. The flawed emerald loses its magic if taken from the area and is worth 250 gp.
In the middle of this cavern, a large stone rises above the 3-foot-deep water and magically emits a soft hissing sound. The natural pattern of the stone vaguely resembles a swarm of snakes.
A character who touches the stone hears a sibilant whisper asking that individual to ask a question aloud. If the character does so, the voice answers as if the character had cast the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Augury14IIIIIIII]{augury} spell. Once the stone is used in this way, it cannot be used again until the next dawn.
This area is guarded by thralls of the Ssethian Scourges against possible attack from the Blacktongues.
This 20-foot-high cavern is flooded with muddy water to a depth of 3 feet. The drow in area 11b attack intruders they spot moving through this cave.
Dry land rises gently out of the water to create a broad ledge dotted with 4-foot-high piles of loose rocks. Two @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbGladia5195042]{drow elite warriors}, a female named Dirzanna Freth and a male named Arachnafein Zaphrorzza, hide behind the rocks. These drow are under the effect of the spirit nagasâ rod of rulership and move to the swampâs edge to attack intruders detected in area 11a. If enemies close to melee range, the drow switch to melee weapons.
If one drow elite warrior falls in battle, the other tries to flee to area 13 and alert the creatures there. The drow have orders from the spirit nagas to capture intruders if possible, meaning that any character reduced to 0 hit points by a drowâs melee weapon attack is knocked unconscious. Characters captured by the drow are brought before the nagas in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#15LairoftheSpiritNagas]{area 15}.
If and when the charmed condition on them ends, Dirzanna and Arachnafein make their way to House Frethâs base on @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.rWIBNH6ljXIk0GZD.JournalEntryPage.rWIBNH6ljXIk0GZD]{level 12}.
This small cave has a 10-foot-high ceiling and contains a 20-foot-deep pool with a crevasse at the bottom, through which cold water bubbles up from a natural spring. The thralls of the Ssethian Scourges use the sightless cave fish that swim here as a source of food.
A male @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbGladia5195042]{drow elite warrior} named Xirk Dezpetiâil is chained to one of three sets of manacles that hang from the west wall. The nagas use the manacles to bind creatures that resist the magic of their rod of rulership.
A sometime adventurer and unrepentant neâer-do-well who pledges alliance to no one, Xirk is willing to trade information about the surrounding caves or the thrallsâ routine in exchange for freedom to return to the Underdark. If he is freed, he avoids combat and is not above stealing from his benefactors.
Two tunnels lead into this damp, 10-foot-high cavern, which contains the following features:
Spores. A perpetual haze of spores fills the air, making the area lightly obscured.
Fungi. Small fungi are planted in neat rows and are used as a fast-growing food crop. A pile of gardening tools lies by the west tunnel entrance.
All the caves of area 15 are either dry or have their floors covered with 1 foot of muddy water.
An alarm raised in any of these areas attracts all nearby creatures: the spirit nagas in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#15cSteamyDen]{area 15c}, as well as their thralls in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#11bWatchersintheDark]{areas 11b}, @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#15cSteamyDen]{15c}, and @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#15fTrollGuardPost]{15f}. The spirit nagas and their thralls avoid killing humanoid intruders if they can. Prisoners who canât be enslaved are thrown into the arena (area 15a) without their weapons and forced to fight to the death against the nagasâ thralls.
The Ssethian Scourges sometimes have their thralls fight captives for their amusement. This 40-foot-high cave has the following features:
Ledge. A slope of dry land rises from a few inches above the water to a 20-foot-high ledge at area 15b.
Weapons. Shattered and abandoned weapons lie in the wet muck. (Characters forced to fight here can easily recover serviceable melee weapons from the muck and detritus.)
The north side of the ledge drops away 20 feet to the arena floor (area 15a). Two flat stones command a view of the arena and are used as thrones by the nagas.
This cramped, steam-filled cave contains the following:
Duergar Thrall. Agorra Duskaxe, a female @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbSpy5195217III]{duergar}, stands guard just inside the entrance.
Steamer. Water dripping from a crack in the ceiling falls into a cylindrical metal contraption at the center of the cave, and steam billows out of it.
Nagas. Unless they have been drawn elsewhere, two @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbSpiNag5195215]{spirit nagas} named Excrutha and Serakath lounge on the floor near the back of the cave (see â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.8XNQM5OJcZHYmOoZ#TheSsethianScourges]{The Ssethian Scourges}â).
Chest. A wooden chest stands against the east wall.
The nagas donât fear death, but they do fear the loss or theft of their rod of rulership and will do everything they can to safeguard it. A battle here attracts the thralls from @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#11bWatchersintheDark]{areas 11b} and @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#15fTrollGuardPost]{15f}, assuming theyâre still around.
While Agorra is under the effect of the rod of rulership, she believes the nagas to be her allies and defends them to the death. She carries the key to the manacles in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#13DetentionCave]{area 13}.
The steamer consists of two iron chambers stacked on top of each other. Magical fire burns in the bottom chamber, heating water that pours into the top chamber through the crack in the ceiling. Small holes in the sides of the top chamber allow steam to vent into the cave, keeping it warm and moist.
Treasure. One spirit naga has a rod of rulership coiled in its tail at all times. The rodâs magic has been spent for the day and canât be called upon again until the next dawn.
The chest is unlocked and contains 500 pp, 330 gp, a silver necklace in the form of entwined serpents (250 gp), and a spell scroll of @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.ModifyMemory14II]{modify memory}.
A wooden table covered with alchemistâs supplies stands against the north wall of this damp, 10-foot-high cave.
A steady stream of water pours out from a crack in the wall of this alcove. The water fills up a natural stone basin, which in turn overflows onto the muddy ground. This spring provides clean water.
Two @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbTroll5195241I]{trolls} charmed by the nagasâ rod of rulership are crammed in this alcove until they are drawn elsewhere.
Bones. This 30-foot-high cave appears empty except for the bones of numerous creatures (humanoids and yuan-ti) visible beneath the water.
Hexacali. Lurking amid the bones is a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbBonNag5198080]{bone naga} (formerly a spirit naga named Hexacali).
The bone naga tries to slay any living creature that enters its domain. Creatures moving through this area must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check or be surprised when the bone naga attacks.
This 30-foot-high cavern was the main front of the battle between the yuan-ti and the nagas.
The water here is 2 feet deep, and the cavern floor beneath it is littered with yuan-ti bones.
The phantasmal scene of a spirit naga battling four yuan-ti purebloods plays out for characters who &Reference[set]{set} foot on this island. As characters view the scene, they find themselves literally being drawn into it.
Each character drawn into the scene temporarily becomes one of the yuan-ti fighting the wounded Hexacali. The character gains the statistics of a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbYuaInf5195289]{yuan-ti pureblood} with 2d20 hit points remaining.
Hexacali, a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbSpiNag5195215]{spirit naga} with 35 hit points, is trapped on the island and fights yuan-ti characters to the death. Yuan-ti characters who drop to 0 hit points during this fight immediately come to their senses and take [[/damage 4d10 psychic average=true]] damage from the shock of their illusory demise. Unlike any damage sustained in the battle, this psychic damage is real. A character free of the vision can free another character from it by using an action to shake or slap them.
If the characters defeat Hexacali, their last collective memory is of pinning the naga down to be slain and raised as a bone naga. The vision then ends for all characters and canât take hold of them again.
A wedge of dry land rises from the water to become the floor of a 15-foot-high cave with a mirror mounted to its eastern wall.
The mirror is framed by an assemblage of hundreds of tiny interlocking stone gears. This mirror reflects normally and is one of Halasterâs gates (see â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.pn94XkUkGeqTubWa.JournalEntryPage.eBW71op2CxZ3BUdn#Gates]{Gates}â). Its frame is composed of an assemblage of hundreds of tiny, interlocking stone gears. This gateâs rules are as follows:
- Any creature that inspects the frame and succeeds on a DC 15 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check sees that one of the gears has popped out slightly. If it is pressed, the gear locks in place, causing all the gears to turn and the gate to open for 1 minute. When the gate closes, a different random gear pops out slightly, causing all the gears to lock again.
- Characters must be 11th level or higher to pass through this gate (see â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.pn94XkUkGeqTubWa.JournalEntryPage.rfQ4m9m2RCHUyRSz#JhesiyraKestellharp]{Jhesiyra Kestellharp}â). The first creature to pass through the gate triggers an elder rune (see â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.pn94XkUkGeqTubWa.JournalEntryPage.eBW71op2CxZ3BUdn#ElderRunes]{Elder Runes}â).
- A creature that passes through the gate appears in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.TlPbYCcx7iFhmtRP.JournalEntryPage.QxdSoiCpWwosshhT#25bSpiderThrone]{area 25b on level 10}, in the closest unoccupied space next to the identical gate located there.
These 10-foot-high side caverns feature a standing gate that grants access to @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.hXy7AGdG7QD31vHm.JournalEntryPage.hXy7AGdG7QD31vHm]{level 11}. Strikingly beautiful carvings of serpents decorate the walls of these caverns.
An old yuan-ti trap meant to prevent approach to the gate still functions in this area. A pressure plate under the water and mud extends the full width of the cavern entrance. A character searching the cavern for traps who succeeds on a DC 20 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check spots the pressure plate. The trap triggers whenever a weight of 50 pounds or more is placed on the pressure plate. Darts fire from holes in the walls against the creature that triggered the trap, making a ranged weapon attack (+7 to hit) that deals [[/damage 4d4 piercing average=true]] damage. The trap resets each round.
A search of the walls and a successful DC 20 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check is sufficient to spot small holes in the serpent carvings. The characters can spend 1 minute to plug the holes, which prevents the trap from attacking. The pressure plate can be disabled with a successful [[/check dex 15 format=long]] using thievesâ tools.
18b. Standing Gate to Level 11
Two pillars with giant stone snakes wrapped around them rise from the muck. Chiseled into the lintel stone across the top are the words âDON THE CRYSTAL CROWNâ in Dwarvish. This gateâs rules are as follows:
- The gate opens for 1 minute if a creature wears King Melairâs crystal crown (see @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.HJsSt5ImWIAPxxh7.JournalEntryPage.WCp6UHKzHSYXnWJB#11dCradleandCrown]{level 6, area 11d}) while standing within 5 feet of it.
- Characters must be 11th level or higher to pass through this gate (see â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.pn94XkUkGeqTubWa.JournalEntryPage.rfQ4m9m2RCHUyRSz#JhesiyraKestellharp]{Jhesiyra Kestellharp}â). The first creature to pass through the gate triggers an elder rune (see â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.pn94XkUkGeqTubWa.JournalEntryPage.eBW71op2CxZ3BUdn#ElderRunes]{Elder Runes}â).
- A creature that passes through the gate appears in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.hXy7AGdG7QD31vHm.JournalEntryPage.oBw4nRDDIQTaFFA3#11aStandingGatetoLevel8]{area 11a on level 11}, in the closest unoccupied space next to the identical gate located there.
The roof of this cavern soars to a height of 80 feet, and the muddy water throughout is 2 feet deep. Dominating the cavern is a ruined yuan-ti temple filled with statues depicting the same winged serpent with its fanged mouth open. A character who succeeds on a DC 15 Intelligence (&Reference[rel]{Religion}) check recognizes the statues as depictions of Sseth, a yuan-ti deity. Flickering torches on the sides of the temple illuminate the structure.
Eight @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbBulWar4831017]{bullywugs} and three @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbGiaFro5195020]{giant frogs} stand guard in the water outside the temple. The bullywugs try to paralyze intruders using their spears, the tips of which are coated with carrion crawler mucus. Characters paralyzed by the bullywugsâ spears or swallowed by the giant frogs are brought to @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#19dApse]{area 19d} and held there until Kuketh can be summoned from @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#20BlacktongueIsle]{area 20} to devour them.
A 10-foot-tall statue of a winged serpent stands at the entrance of the temple between two submerged stone ramps. The ramps are slippery and rise to meet the floor of a 20-foot-high antechamber, the floor of which is submerged under 1 foot of murky water.
Decorative columns carved to look like intertwined snakes line the chamberâs walls.
Water. Murky water covers the floor to a depth of 1 foot.
Ceiling Fresco. This chamber has a vaulted ceiling 30 feet high. A fresco on the ceiling has mostly crumbled away, but the portions that remain suggest serpentine images that were probably quite fearsome.
Statues. Four statues of winged serpents stand to the north, two in the water and two above the waterline. (Torbit, a bullywug assassin, hides behind the partially submerged statue in the northwest corner.)
Platform. Between the two middle statues, a mostly submerged ramp rises to the top of a dry platform, at the back of which is a closed door that opens into area 19c.
@Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbTorbit272306I]{Torbit} might have become king of the Blacktongues if not for his devotion to Kuketh. He jealously protects the temple that is his masterâs seat of power, killing any who enter without permission. @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbTorbit272306I]{Torbit} is an @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbAssass5194904]{assassin}, with these changes:
- Torbit is chaotic evil.
- He has these racial traits: He can breathe air and water. He speaks Bullywug, and can speak with frogs and toads. He has a walking speed of 20 feet and a swimming speed of 40 feet. His long jump is up to 20 feet and his high jump is up to 10 feet, with or without a running start. He has advantage on Dexterity (&Reference[ste]{Stealth}) checks made to hide in swampy terrain.
Treasure. The foot-long piece of jade that Torbit carries was found in the muck. He doesnât realize that itâs a fragment of a jade staff crafted by ancient yuan-ti that was discarded in Undermountain by Halaster years before. See @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.HJsSt5ImWIAPxxh7.JournalEntryPage.WCp6UHKzHSYXnWJB#39bJadeStaffFragments]{area 39b on level 6} for more information on this yuan-ti device and how it can be reassembled. By itself, the jade fragment is worth 100 gp.
This 30-foot-high chapel has the following features:
Mud-Caked Statue. Dried mud has been heaped onto a large, winged snake statue to the north, giving it a vaguely frog-like appearance. Poor-quality carved offerings and worthless stones are piled before the statue.
Altar. A stone altar in the center of the room bears carvings of serpents.
Any character who inspects the altar and succeeds on a DC 15 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check notices that one of the altarâs carvings has a button carved to look like a serpentâs eye. If this button is pressed, a secret compartment on the north side of the altar opens. Inside this compartment is a slender red taper (see âTreasureâ below). Kuketh and the bullywugs are unaware of the altarâs hidden compartment and the treasure within.
Treasure. The red taper is a candle of invocation dedicated to Sseth, the neutral evil yuan-ti god. If the candle is removed from the altar by a creature that is not a yuan-ti, green mist billows up through cracks in the floor and coalesces into two @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbYuaAbo5195288]{yuan-ti abominations}. These temple guardians attack any creature that is not a yuan-ti. When reduced to 0 hit points, they revert to clouds of green mist and disappear without a trace.
If the yuan-ti abominations are not killed, they rid the temple of enemies and turn it into their lair.
Deep Water. The ground falls away at all entrances to this 30-foot-high cavern, whose water is 30 feet deep.
Island Village. A dozen crude shacks sit atop a muddy, horseshoe-shaped island. Twenty-five @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbBulWar4831017]{bullywugs} and six @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbGiaFro5195020]{giant frogs} slip in and out of the shacks.
Bonfire. A bonfire burns at the northern tip of the island, giving off pungent smoke. (The bullywugs keep it burning with a mixture of dried offal and fungus.)
The shacks are made from rocks mortared with mud. The bullywugs found here are busy raising young, mending nets, cooking, or working on other domestic necessities. They and the giant frogs are quick to respond to calls for aid from @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#19YuantiTemple]{area 19}.
Harmless cave fish swim in the deep water around the island. The pool at the islandâs center is closed off by a submerged net that prevents fish from finding their way inside. The Blacktongues keep their unborn eggs in this pool, hidden among submerged stands of thick-fronded fungus.
Unless he has been summoned to @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#19YuantiTemple]{area 19}, the unhappy king of the Blacktongues is here.
This cave has a 20-foot-high ceiling and is filled with water to a depth of 30 feet. Lurking in the muddy water at the bottom of the cave is a trained @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbHydra5195084I]{hydra}. The hydra refrains from announcing its presence or attacking until such time as Kuketh orders it to rise and kill something.
Ledge. A dry ledge 5 feet above the water line is strewn with bones, some with flesh still attached.
Kukethâs Bed. The eastern end of the ledge contains a pile of moldering hay and the rotting body of a giant toad. Unless it has been drawn elsewhere, Kuketh the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbDeaSla5194964]{death slaad} lounges on the hay in bullywug form.
When not bossing around its subjects, Kuketh quietly ruminates on its troubles. The slaad communicates with strangers using telepathy and is willing to negotiate with characters who claim to be enemies of the Ssethian Scourges. A mercurial creature, Kuketh doesnât honor agreements for very long. Its only consistent desire is to escape from Undermountain and return to the Outer Plane of Limbo.
This cave is hidden behind a secret door.
Treasure. The vault holds treasure collected by the bullywugs, including 56 pp, 2,417 gp, 540 sp, a platinum holy symbol of Sseth (a flying snake with bared fangs) worth 150 gp, and a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-items.13rjxMG1aJ2eAw7g]{headband of intellect}.
The Blacktongue bullywugs raise âlivestockâ in this 20-foot-high, torch-lit cavern. If the bullywug handlers here are attacked, they release their carrion crawlers and shout for aid from @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#19YuantiTemple]{areas 19} and @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#23BullywugCamp]{23}.
Six @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbGiaFro5195020]{giant frogs} hop through shallow water in this cavern, croaking loudly while four @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbBulWar4831017]{bullywugs} dump food (mostly vermin) into a trough along the northwest wall.
This raised dry area contains the following:
Wooden Pen. A pen made of wooden slats confines four @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbCarCra5194938]{carrion crawlers} to the northeast. Three carrion crawler eggs are inside the pen.
Tools. Several buckets and long-handled tools for wrangling the carrion crawlers stand near the gate to the pen.
The bullywugs raise carrion crawlers for their poisonous mucus, but they also feed carrion crawler eggs to the hydra in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#21aHydraDen]{area 21a}. The carrion crawlers are not treated well. If released, they are as likely to attack the bullywugs as they are the characters.
Wood scraps gathered from throughout the level have been used to fence off this dry area from floor to ceiling. The gaps between the slats are just wide enough for a melee weapon or a carrion crawlerâs tentacle attack. A simple loop of rope keeps the gate closed.
Muck. This 20-foot-high cave is filled with muck to a depth of 1 foot.
Bullywug Shacks. Two hovels made of stones and mud are lit by tall torches. Four @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbBulWar4831017]{bullywugs} are mending tools near the shacks while two @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbGiaToa5195029]{giant toads} look on.
Five @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbBulWar4831017]{bullywugs} work kelp beds in the 6-foot-deep water of this 30-foot-high cave, while a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbGiaToa5195029]{giant toad} swims nearby. The kelp is a staple of the bullywugsâ diet and glows with a faint green light. The light fades 10 minutes after the plant is harvested.
If they are threatened, the bullywugs order the giant toad to attack and call for help from @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.ZR6ZcukwfEXKnPOU.JournalEntryPage.rJDWjzhJI4e2SnSM#2BullywugSentries]{areas 2} and 23.

Killing the Ssethian Scourges frees Yoastal from her curse and allows the Blacktongues to overrun the nagasâ caves.

Such gains are short-lived, because the spirit nagasâ Rejuvenation trait ensures their return in 1d6 days.

Many of the character classes in the Playerâs Handbook harness magic in the form of spells. This chapter provides new spells for those classes, as well as for spellcasting monsters. The Dungeon Master decides which of these spells are available in a campaign and how they can be learned. For example, a DM might decide that some of the spells are freely available, that others are unobtainable, and that a handful can be found only after a special quest, perhaps discovered in a long-lost tome of magic. Wizard spells, in particular, can be introduced to a campaign in spellbooks found as treasure.
When a DM adds spells to a campaign, clerics, druids, and paladins require special consideration. When characters of those classes prepare their spells, they have access to the entire spell list for their class. Given that fact, the DM should be cautious about making all of these new spells available to a player who is overwhelmed when presented with many options. For such a player, consider adding only story-appropriate spells to the spell list of that playerâs character.

8th-level &Reference[nec]{necromancy}
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet
Components: V, S, M (a bit of sponge)
Duration: Instantaneous
You draw the moisture from every creature in a 30-foot cube centered on a point you choose within range. Each creature in that area must make a [[/save con format=long]]. Constructs and undead arenât affected, and plants and water elementals make this saving throw with disadvantage. A creature takes 12d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Nonmagical plants in the area that arenât creatures, such as trees and shrubs, wither and die instantly.
1st-level &Reference[abj]{abjuration}
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you take acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage
Range: Self
Components: S
Duration: 1 round
The spell captures some of the incoming energy, lessening its effect on you and storing it for your next melee attack. You have resistance to the triggering damage type until the start of your next turn. Also, the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next turn, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type, and the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
2nd-level &Reference[evo]{evocation}
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (a red dragonâs scale)
Duration: Instantaneous
A line of roaring flame 30 feet long and 5 feet wide emanates from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a [[/save dex format=long]]. A creature takes 3d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
1st-level &Reference[div]{divination}
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a bit of fur wrapped in a cloth)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You establish a telepathic link with one beast you touch that is friendly to you or charmed by you. The spell fails if the beastâs Intelligence score is 4 or higher. Until the spell ends, the link is active while you and the beast are within line of sight of each other. Through the link, the beast can understand your telepathic messages to it, and it can telepathically communicate simple emotions and concepts back to you. While the link is active, the beast gains advantage on attack rolls against any creature within 5 feet of you that you can see.
6th-level &Reference[trs]{transmutation}
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
You cause up to six pillars of stone to burst from places on the ground that you can see within range. Each pillar is a cylinder that has a diameter of 5 feet and a height of up to 30 feet. The ground where a pillar appears must be wide enough for its diameter, and you can target the ground under a creature if that creature is Medium or smaller. Each pillar has AC 5 and 30 hit points. When reduced to 0 hit points, a pillar crumbles into rubble, which creates an area of difficult terrain with a 10-foot radius that lasts until the rubble is cleared. Each 5-foot-diameter portion of the area requires at least 1 minute to clear by hand.
If a pillar is created under a creature, that creature must succeed on a [[/save dex format=long]] or be lifted by the pillar. A creature can choose to fail the save.
If a pillar is prevented from reaching its full height because of a ceiling or other obstacle, a creature on the pillar takes 6d6 bludgeoning damage and is restrained, pinched between the pillar and the obstacle. The restrained creature can use an action to make a Strength or [[/check dex format=long]] (the creatureâs choice) against the spellâs save DC. On a success, the creature is no longer restrained and must either move off the pillar or fall off it.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, you can create two additional pillars for each slot level above 6th.
1st-level &Reference[trs]{transmutation}
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous

While speaking an intricate incantation, you cut yourself with a jewel-encrusted dagger, taking 2d4 piercing damage that canât be reduced in any way. You then drip your blood on the spellâs other components and touch them, transforming them into a special construct called a homunculus.
The statistics of the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbHomunc5195080]{homunculus} are in the Monster Manual. It is your faithful companion, and it dies if you die. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can spend up to half your Hit Dice if the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbHomunc5195080]{homunculus} is on the same plane of existence as you. When you do so, roll each die and add your Constitution modifier to it. Your hit point maximum is reduced by the total, and the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbHomunc5195080]{homunculus}âs hit point maximum and current hit points are both increased by it. This process can reduce you to no lower than 1 hit point, and the change to your and the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbHomunc5195080]{homunculus}âs hit points ends when you finish your next long rest. The reduction to your hit point maximum canât be removed by any means before then, except by the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbHomunc5195080]{homunculus}âs death.

You can use a bonus action to mentally command the creatures you make with this spell, issuing the same command to all of them. To receive the command, a creature must be within 60 feet of you. You decide what action the creatures will take and where they will move during their next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a chamber or passageway against your foes. If you issue no commands, the creatures do nothing except defend themselves against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creatures continue to follow it until their task is complete.
The creatures are under your control until the spell ends, after which they become inanimate once more.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, you animate up to two additional corpses for each slot level above 5th.

You invoke the spirits of &Reference[nat]{nature} to protect an area outdoors or underground. The area can be as small as a 30-foot cube or as large as a 90-foot cube. Buildings and other structures are excluded from the affected area. If you cast this spell in the same area every day for a year, the spell lasts until dispelled.
The spell creates the following effects within the area. When you cast this spell, you can specify creatures as friends who are immune to the effects. You can also specify a password that, when spoken aloud, makes the speaker immune to these effects.
The entire warded area radiates magic. A @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DispelMagic14III]{dispel magic} cast on the area, if successful, removes only one of the following effects, not the entire area. That spellâs caster chooses which effect to end. Only when all its effects are gone is this spell dispelled.
Solid Fog. You can fill any number of 5-foot squares on the ground with thick fog, making them heavily obscured. The fog reaches 10 feet high. In addition, every foot of movement through the fog costs 2 extra feet. To a creature immune to this effect, the fog obscures nothing and looks like soft mist, with motes of green light floating in the air.
Grasping Undergrowth. You can fill any number of 5-foot squares on the ground that arenât filled with fog with grasping weeds and vines, as if they were affected by an @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Entangle14IIIIII]{entangle} spell. To a creature immune to this effect, the weeds and vines feel soft and reshape themselves to serve as temporary seats or beds.
Grove Guardians. You can animate up to four trees in the area, causing them to uproot themselves from the ground. These trees have the same statistics as an @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbAwaTre5194906]{awakened tree}, which appears in the Monster Manual, except they canât speak, and their bark is covered with druidic symbols. If any creature not immune to this effect enters the warded area, the grove guardians fight until they have driven off or slain the intruders. The grove guardians also obey your spoken commands (no action required by you) that you issue while in the area. If you donât give them commands and no intruders are present, the grove guardians do nothing. The grove guardians canât leave the warded area. When the spell ends, the magic animating them disappears, and the trees take root again if possible.
Additional Spell Effect. You can place your choice of one of the following magical effects within the warded area:
- A constant @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.GustOfWind14IIII]{gust of wind} in two locations of your choice
- @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.SpikeGrowth14III]{Spike growth} in one location of your choice
- @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.WindWall14IIIIII]{Wind wall} in two locations of your choice
To a creature immune to this effect, the winds are a fragrant, gentle breeze, and the area of @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.SpikeGrowth14III]{spike growth} is harmless.

Duration: Instantaneous
You create a shard of ice and fling it at one creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 piercing damage. Hit or miss, the shard then explodes. The target and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a [[/save dex format=long]] or take 2d6 cold damage.<.B1ů/p>

Casting Time: 1 action

By gathering threads of shadow material from the Shadowfell, you create a Huge shadowy dragon in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The &Reference[ill]{illusion} lasts for the spellâs duration and occupies its space, as if it were a creature.
When the &Reference[ill]{illusion} appears, any of your enemies that can see it must succeed on a [[/save wis format=long]] or become frightened of it for 1 minute. If a frightened creature ends its turn in a location where it doesnât have line of sight to the &Reference[ill]{illusion}, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the &Reference[ill]{illusion} up to 60 feet. At any point during its movement, you can cause it to exhale a blast of energy in a 60-foot cone originating from its space. When you create the dragon, choose a damage type: acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, or poison. Each creature in the cone must make an [[/save int format=long]], taking 7d6 damage of the chosen damage type on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The &Reference[ill]{illusion} is tangible because of the shadow stuff used to create it, but attacks miss it automatically, it succeeds on all saving throws, and it is immune to all damage and conditions. A creature that uses an action to examine the dragon can determine that it is an &Reference[ill]{illusion} by succeeding on an Intelligence (&Reference[inv]{Investigation}) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the &Reference[ill]{illusion} for what it is, the creature can see through it and has advantage on saving throws against its breath.

On a failed save, the target also burns for the spellâs duration. The burning target sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. At the end of each of its turns, the target repeats the saving throw. It takes 4d6 fire damage on a failed save, and the spell ends on a successful one. These magical flames canât be extinguished by nonmagical means.
If damage from this spell kills a target, the target is turned to ash.

Uttering a dark incantation, you summon a devil from the Nine Hells. You choose the devilâs type, which must be one of challenge rating 6 or lower, such as a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbBarDev5194917]{barbed devil} or a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbBeaDev5194920]{bearded devil}. The devil appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The devil disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The devil is unfriendly toward you and your companions. Roll initiative for the devil, which has its own turns. It is under the Dungeon Masterâs control and acts according to its &Reference[nat]{nature} on each of its turns, which might result in its attacking you if it thinks it can prevail, or trying to tempt you to undertake an evil act in exchange for limited service. The DM has the creatureâs statistics.
On each of your turns, you can try to issue a verbal command to the devil (no action required by you). It obeys the command if the likely outcome is in accordance with its desires, especially if the result would draw you toward evil. Otherwise, you must make a Charisma (&Reference[dec]{Deception}, &Reference[itm]{Intimidation}, or &Reference[per]{Persuasion}) check contested by its Wisdom (&Reference[ins]{Insight}) check. You make the check with advantage if you say the devilâs true name. If your check fails, the devil becomes immune to your verbal commands for the duration of the spell, though it can still carry out your commands if it chooses. If your check succeeds, the devil carries out your command â such as âattack my enemies,â âexplore the room ahead,â or âbear this message to the queenâ â until it completes the activity, at which point it returns to you to report having done so.
If your concentration ends before the spell reaches its full duration, the devil doesnât disappear if it has become immune to your verbal commands. Instead, it acts in whatever manner it chooses for 3d6 minutes, and then it disappears.
If you possess an individual devilâs talisman, you can summon that devil if it is of the appropriate challenge rating plus 1, and it obeys all your commands, with no Charisma checks required.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the challenge rating increases by 1 for each slot level above 5th.

A fortress of stone erupts from a square area of ground of your choice that you can see within range. The area is 120 feet on each side, and it must not have any buildings or other structures on it. Any creatures in the area are harmlessly lifted up as the fortress rises.
The fortress has four turrets with square bases, each one 20 feet on a side and 30 feet tall, with one turret on each corner. The turrets are connected to each other by stone walls that are each 80 feet long, creating an enclosed area. Each wall is 1 foot thick and is composed of panels that are 10 feet wide and 20 feet tall. Each panel is contiguous with two other panels or one other panel and a turret. You can place up to four stone doors in the fortressâs outer wall.
A small keep stands inside the enclosed area. The keep has a square base that is 50 feet on each side, and it has three floors with 10-foot-high ceilings. Each of the floors can be divided into as many rooms as you like, provided each room is at least 5 feet on each side. The floors of the keep are connected by stone staircases, its walls are 6 inches thick, and interior rooms can have stone doors or open archways as you choose. The keep is furnished and decorated however you like, and it contains sufficient food to serve a nine-course banquet for up to 100 people each day. Furnishings, food, and other objects created by this spell crumble to dust if removed from the fortress.
A staff of one hundred invisible servants obeys any command given to them by creatures you designate when you cast the spell. Each servant functions as if created by the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.UnseenServant14I]{unseen servant} spell.
The walls, turrets, and keep are all made of stone that can be damaged. Each 10-foot-by-10-foot section of stone has AC 15 and 30 hit points per inch of thickness. It is immune to poison and psychic damage. Reducing a section of stone to 0 hit points destroys it and might cause connected sections to buckle and collapse at the DMâs discretion.
After 7 days or when you cast this spell somewhere else, the fortress harmlessly crumbles and sinks back into the ground, leaving any creatures that were inside it safely on the ground.
Casting this spell on the same spot once every 7 days for a year makes the fortress permanent.

Your magic deepens a creatureâs understanding of its own talent. You touch one willing creature and give it expertise in one skill of your choice; until the spell ends, the creature doubles its proficiency bonus for ability checks it makes that use the chosen skill.
You must choose a skill in which the target is proficient and that isnât already benefiting from an effect, such as Expertise, that doubles its proficiency bonus.

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You cause up to ten words to form in a part of the sky you can see. The words appear to be made of cloud and remain in place for the spellâs duration. The words dissipate when the spell ends. A strong wind can disperse the clouds and end the spell early.
1st-level &Reference[abj]{abjuration}
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Components: S, M (25 feet of rope, which the spell consumes)
Duration: 8 hours
As you cast this spell, you use the rope to create a circle with a 5-foot radius on the ground or the floor. When you finish casting, the rope disappears and the circle becomes a magic trap.
This trap is nearly invisible, requiring a successful Intelligence (&Reference[inv]{Investigation}) check against your spell save DC to be discerned.
The trap triggers when a Small, Medium, or Large creature moves onto the ground or the floor in the spellâs radius. That creature must succeed on a [[/save dex format=long]] or be magically hoisted into the air, leaving it hanging upside down 3 feet above the ground or the floor. The creature is restrained there until the spell ends.
A restrained creature can make a [[/save dex format=long]] at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Alternatively, the creature or someone else who can reach it can use an action to make an Intelligence (&Reference[arc]{Arcana}) check against your spell save DC. On a success, the restrained effect ends.
After the trap is triggered, the spell ends when no creature is restrained by it.

A flurry of magic snowballs erupts from a point you choose within range. Each creature in a 5-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a [[/save dex format=long]]. A creature takes 3d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.
6th-level &Reference[nec]{necromancy}
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a humanoid you can see within 60 feet of you dies
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S, M (a tiny silver cage worth 100 gp)
Duration: 8 hours
This spell snatches the soul of a humanoid as it dies and traps it inside the tiny cage you use for the material component. A stolen soul remains inside the cage until the spell ends or until you destroy the cage, which ends the spell. While you have a soul inside the cage, you can exploit it in any of the ways described below. You can use a trapped soul up to six times. Once you exploit a soul for the sixth time, it is released, and the spell ends. While a soul is trapped, the dead humanoid it came from canât be revived.
Steal Life. You can use a bonus action to drain vigor from the soul and regain 2d8 hit points.
Query Soul. You ask the soul a question (no action required) and receive a brief telepathic answer, which you can understand regardless of the language used. The soul knows only what it knew in life, but it must answer you truthfully and to the best of its ability. The answer is no more than a sentence or two and might be cryptic.
Borrow Experience. You can use a bonus action to bolster yourself with the soulâs life experience, making your next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw with advantage. If you donât use this benefit before the start of your next turn, it is lost.
Eyes of the Dead. You can use an action to name a place the humanoid saw in life, which creates an invisible sensor somewhere in that place if it is on the plane of existence youâre currently on. The sensor remains for as long as you concentrate, up to 10 minutes (as if you were concentrating on a spell). You receive visual and auditory information from the sensor as if you were in its space using your senses.
A creature that can see the sensor (such as one using @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.SeeInvisib14IIII]{see invisibility} or &Reference[truesight]{truesight}) sees a translucent image of the tormented humanoid whose soul you caged.

A 20-foot-radius sphere of whirling air springs into existence, centered on a point you choose within range. The sphere remains for the spellâs duration. Each creature in the sphere when it appears or that ends its turn there must succeed on a [[/save str format=long]] or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage. The sphereâs space is difficult terrain.
Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to cause a bolt of lightning to leap from the center of the sphere toward one creature you choose within 60 feet of the center. Make a ranged spell attack. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is in the sphere. On a hit, the target takes 4d6 lightning damage.
Creatures within 30 feet of the sphere have disadvantage on Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) checks made to listen.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage for each of its effects increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 4th.

You utter foul words, summoning one demon from the chaos of the Abyss. You choose the demonâs type, which must be one of challenge rating 5 or lower, such as a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbShaDem5195200]{shadow demon} or a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbBarlgu5194918]{barlgura}. The demon appears in an unoccupied space you can see within range, and the demon disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
Roll initiative for the demon, which has its own turns. When you summon it and on each of your turns thereafter, you can issue a verbal command to it (requiring no action on your part), telling it what it must do on its next turn. If you issue no command, it spends its turn attacking any creature within reach that has attacked it.
At the end of each of the demonâs turns, it makes a [[/save cha format=long]]. The demon has disadvantage on this saving throw if you say its true name. On a failed save, the demon continues to obey you. On a successful save, your control of the demon ends for the rest of the duration, and the demon spends its turns pursuing and attacking the nearest non-demons to the best of its ability. If you stop concentrating on the spell before it reaches its full duration, an uncontrolled demon doesnât disappear for 1d6 rounds if it still has hit points.
As part of casting the spell, you can form a circle on the ground with the blood used as a material component. The circle is large enough to encompass your space. While the spell lasts, the summoned demon canât cross the circle or harm it, and it canât target anyone within it. Using the material component in this manner consumes it when the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the challenge rating increases by 1 for each slot level above 4th.

The DM chooses the demons, such as @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbManes5195114I]{manes} or @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbDretch5194974]{dretch}es, and you choose the unoccupied spaces you can see within range where they appear. A summoned demon disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.
The demons are hostile to all creatures, including you. Roll initiative for the summoned demons as a group, which has its own turns. The demons pursue and attack the nearest non-demons to the best of their ability.
As part of casting the spell, you can form a circle on the ground with the blood used as a material component. The circle is large enough to encompass your space.

5th-level &Reference[enc]{enchantment}
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
You choose a point within range and cause psychic energy to explode there. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make an [[/save int format=long]]. A creature with an Intelligence score of 2 or lower canât be affected by this spell. A target takes 8d6 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
After a failed save, a target has muddled thoughts for 1 minute. During that time, it rolls a d6 and subtracts the number rolled from all its attack rolls and ability checks, as well as its Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration. The target can make an [[/save int format=long]] at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
7th-level &Reference[con]{conjuration}
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a holy symbol worth at least 5 gp)
Duration: 24 hours
You cause a temple to shimmer into existence on ground you can see within range. The temple must fit within an unoccupied cube of space, up to 120 feet on each side. The temple remains until the spell ends. It is dedicated to whatever god, pantheon, or philosophy is represented by the holy symbol used in the casting.
You make all decisions about the templeâs appearance. The interior is enclosed by a floor, walls, and a roof, with one door granting access to the interior and as many windows as you wish. Only you and any creatures you designate when you cast the spell can open or close the door.
The templeâs interior is an open space with an idol or altar at one end. You decide whether the temple is illuminated and whether that illumination is bright light or dim light. The smell of burning incense fills the air within, and the temperature is mild.
The temple opposes types of creatures you choose when you cast this spell. Choose one or more of the following: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead. If a creature of the chosen type attempts to enter the temple, that creature must make a [[/save cha format=long]]. On a failed save, it canât enter the temple for 24 hours. Even if the creature can enter the temple, the magic there hinders it; whenever it makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw inside the temple, it must roll a d4 and subtract the number rolled from the d20 roll.
In addition, the sensors created by &Reference[div]{divination} spells canât appear inside the temple, and creatures within canât be targeted by &Reference[div]{divination} spells.
Finally, whenever any creature in the temple regains hit points from a spell of 1st level or higher, the creature regains additional hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1 hit point).
The temple is made from opaque magical force that extends into the Ethereal Plane, thus blocking ethereal travel into the templeâs interior. Nothing can physically pass through the templeâs exterior. It canât be dispelled by @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DispelMagic14III]{dispel magic}, and @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.AntimagField14II]{antimagic field} has no effect on it. A @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Disintegrate14II]{disintegrate} spell destroys the temple instantly.
Casting this spell on the same spot every day for a year makes this effect permanent.

You touch one Tiny, nonmagical object that isnât attached to another object or a surface and isnât being carried by another creature. The target animates and sprouts little arms and legs, becoming a creature under your control until the spell ends or the creature drops to 0 hit points. See the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbTinyServ45616]{Tiny Servant} stat block for its statistics.
As a bonus action, you can mentally command the creature if it is within 120 feet of you. (If you control multiple creatures with this spell, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one.) You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a simple, general command, such as to fetch a key, stand watch, or stack some books. If you issue no commands, the servant does nothing other than defend itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the servant continues to follow that order until its task is complete.
When the creature drops to 0 hit points, it reverts to its original form, and any remaining damage carries over to that form.

You choose an area of stone or mud that you can see that fits within a 40-foot cube and is within range, and choose one of the following effects.
Transmute Rock to Mud. Nonmagical rock of any sort in the area becomes an equal volume of thick, flowing mud that remains for the spellâs duration.
The ground in the spellâs area becomes muddy enough that creatures can sink into it. Each foot that a creature moves through the mud costs 4 feet of movement, and any creature on the ground when you cast the spell must make a [[/save str format=long]]. A creature must also make the saving throw when it moves into the area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there. On a failed save, a creature sinks into the mud and is restrained, though it can use an action to end the restrained condition on itself by pulling itself free of the mud.
If you cast the spell on a ceiling, the mud falls. Any creature under the mud when it falls must make a [[/save dex format=long]]. A creature takes 4d8 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Transmute Mud to Rock. Nonmagical mud or quicksand in the area no more than 10 feet deep transforms into soft stone for the spellâs duration. Any creature in the mud when it transforms must make a [[/save dex format=long]]. On a successful save, a creature is shunted safely to the surface in an unoccupied space. On a failed save, a creature becomes restrained by the rock. A restrained creature, or another creature within reach, can use an action to try to break the rock by succeeding on a [[/check str 20 format=long]] or by dealing damage to it. The rock has AC 15 and 25 hit points, and it is immune to poison and psychic damage.

The wall blocks line of sight, but creatures and objects can pass through it. It emits bright light out to 120 feet and dim light for an additional 120 feet.
When the wall appears, each creature in its area must make a [[/save con format=long]]. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d8 radiant damage, and it is blinded for 1 minute. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isnât blinded. A blinded creature can make a [[/save con format=long]] at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
A creature that ends its turn in the wallâs area takes 4d8 radiant damage.
Until the spell ends, you can use an action to launch a beam of radiance from the wall at one creature you can see within 60 feet of it. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 radiant damage. Whether you hit or miss, reduce the length of the wall by 10 feet. If the wallâs length drops to 0 feet, the spell ends.

You create a wall of water on the ground at a point you can see within range. You can make the wall up to 30 feet long, 10 feet high, and 1 foot thick, or you can make a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The wall vanishes when the spell ends. The wallâs space is difficult terrain.
Any ranged weapon attack that enters the wallâs space has disadvantage on the attack roll, and fire damage is halved if the fire effect passes through the wall to reach its target. Spells that deal cold damage that pass through the wall cause the area of the wall they pass through to freeze solid (at least a 5-foot-square section is frozen). Each 5-foot-square frozen section has AC 5 and 15 hit points. Reducing a frozen section to 0 hit points destroys it. When a section is destroyed, the wallâs water doesnât fill it.

The wind has the following effects:
- It deafens you and other creatures in its area.
- It extinguishes unprotected flames in its area that are torch-sized or smaller.

You conjure up a sphere of water with a 5-foot radius at a point you can see within range. The sphere can hover but no more than 10 feet off the ground. The sphere remains for the spellâs duration.
Any creature in the sphereâs space must make a [[/save str format=long]]. On a successful save, a creature is ejected from that space to the nearest unoccupied space of the creatureâs choice outside the sphere. A Huge or larger creature succeeds on the saving throw automatically, and a Large or smaller creature can choose to fail it. On a failed save, a creature is restrained by the sphere and is engulfed by the water. At the end of each of its turns, a restrained target can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
The sphere can restrain as many as four Medium or smaller creatures or one Large creature. If the sphere restrains a creature that causes it to exceed this capacity, a random creature that was already restrained by the sphere falls out of it and lands prone in a space within 5 feet of it.
As an action, you can move the sphere up to 30 feet in a straight line. If it moves over a pit, a cliff, or other drop-off, it safely descends until it is hovering 10 feet above the ground. Any creature restrained by the sphere moves with it. You can ram the sphere into creatures, forcing them to make the saving throw.
When the spell ends, the sphere falls to the ground and extinguishes all normal flames within 30 feet of it. Any creature restrained by the sphere is knocked prone in the space where it falls. The water then vanishes.

A whirlwind howls down to a point that you can see on the ground within range. The whirlwind is a 10-foot-radius, 30-foot-high cylinder centered on that point. Until the spell ends, you can use your action to move the whirlwind up to 30 feet in any direction along the ground. The whirlwind sucks up any Medium or smaller objects that arenât secured to anything and that arenât worn or carried by anyone.
A creature must make a [[/save dex format=long]] the first time on a turn that it enters the whirlwind or that the whirlwind enters its space, including when the whirlwind first appears. A creature takes 10d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. In addition, a Large or smaller creature that fails the save must succeed on a [[/save str format=long]] or become restrained in the whirlwind until the spell ends. When a creature starts its turn restrained by the whirlwind, the creature is pulled 5 feet higher inside it, unless the creature is at the top. A restrained creature moves with the whirlwind and falls when the spell ends, unless the creature has some means to stay aloft.
A restrained creature can use an action to make a Strength or [[/check dex format=long]] against your spell save DC. If successful, the creature is no longer restrained by the whirlwind and is hurled 3d6 Ă 10 feet away from it in a random direction.

Grasses and Undergrowth. Any area of ground in the cube that is covered by grass or undergrowth is difficult terrain for your enemies.
Trees. At the start of each of your turns, each of your enemies within 10 feet of any tree in the cube must succeed on a [[/save dex format=long]] or take 4d6 slashing damage from whipping branches.
Roots and Vines. At the end of each of your turns, one creature of your choice that is on the ground in the cube must succeed on a [[/save str format=long]] or become restrained until the spell ends. A restrained creature can use an action to make a Strength (&Reference[ath]{Athletics}) check against your spell save DC, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Rocks. As a bonus action on your turn, you can cause a loose rock in the cube to launch at a creature you can see in the cube. Make a ranged spell attack against the target.

While you are playing this musical instrument, you can create harmless, illusory visual effects within a 5-foot-radius sphere centered on the instrument. If you are a bard, the radius increases to 15 feet. Sample visual effects include luminous musical notes, a spectral dancer, butterflies, and gently falling snow. The magical effects have neither substance nor sound, and they are obviously illusory. The effects end when you stop playing.
Wondrous item, common (requires attunement)
This musical instrument has 3 charges. While you are playing it, you can use an action to expend 1 charge from the instrument and write a magical message on a nonmagical object or surface that you can see within 30 feet of you.

You can cut this 50-foot coil of hempen rope into any number of smaller pieces, and then use an action to speak a command word and cause the pieces to knit back together. The pieces must be in contact with each other and not otherwise in use. A rope of mending is forever shortened if a section of it is lost or destroyed.
Wondrous item, common (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
Etched with eldritch runes, this 1-inch-diameter ruby allows you to use a simple or martial weapon as a spellcasting focus for your spells. For this property to work, you must attach the ruby to the weapon by pressing the ruby against it for at least 10 minutes. Thereafter, the ruby canât be removed unless you detach it as an action or the weapon is destroyed. Not even an @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.AntimagField14II]{antimagic field} causes it to fall off. The ruby does fall off the weapon if your attunement to the ruby ends.
Armor (shield), common
The front of this shield is shaped in the likeness of a face. While bearing the shield, you can use a bonus action to alter the faceâs expression.
Armor (any), common
Wisps of harmless, odorless smoke rise from this armor while it is worn.
Staff, common
If you place an object weighing no more than 1 pound (such as a shard of crystal, an egg, or a stone) above the tip of the staff while holding it, the object floats an inch from the staffâs tip and remains there until it is removed or until the staff is no longer in your possession. The staff can have up to three such objects floating over its tip at any given time. While holding the staff, you can make one or more of the objects slowly spin or turn in place.
Staff, common
This wooden staff is decorated with bird carvings. It has 10 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 charge from the staff and cause it to create one of the following sounds out to a range of 60 feet: a finchâs chirp, a ravenâs caw, a duckâs quack, a chickenâs cluck, a gooseâs honk, a loonâs call, a turkeyâs gobble, a seagullâs cry, an owlâs hoot, or an eagleâs shriek.
The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff explodes in a harmless cloud of bird feathers and is lost forever.
Staff, common
This wooden staff has 10 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 charge from the staff and cause a flower to sprout from a patch of earth or soil within 5 feet of you, or from the staff itself. Unless you choose a specific kind of flower, the staff creates a mild-scented daisy. The flower is harmless and nonmagical, and it grows or withers as a normal flower would.
The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff turns into flower petals and is lost forever.
Wondrous Item, Common (Requires Attunement)
While this stuffed doll is within 5 feet of you, you can spend a short rest telling it to say up to six phrases, none of which can be more than six words long, and you can &Reference[set]{set} a condition under which the doll speaks each phrase. You can also replace old phrases with new ones. Whatever the condition, it must occur within 5 feet of the doll to make it speak. For example, whenever someone picks up the doll, it might say, âI want a piece of candy.â The dollâs phrases are lost when your attunement to the doll ends.
Wondrous item, common
This tankard has a stern face sculpted into one side. You can drink ale, wine, or any other nonmagical alcoholic beverage poured into it without becoming inebriated. The tankard has no effect on magical liquids or harmful substances such as poison.

Weapon (arrow), common
This arrow canât be broken, except when it is within an @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.AntimagField14II]{antimagic field}.
Wondrous item, common
When you grasp this walking cane and use a bonus action to speak the command word, it transforms into an ordinary longsword and ceases to be magical.
Weapon (any ammunition), common
This ammunition packs a wallop. A creature hit by the ammunition must succeed on a [[/save str 10 format=long]] or be knocked prone.
@Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-items.lvSeV5XjPgdaYKDq]{Wand of Conducting}
Wand, common
This wand has 3 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges and create orchestral music by waving it around. The music can be heard out to a range of 60 feet and ends when you stop waving the wand.
The wand regains all expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wandâs last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, a sad tuba sound plays as the wand crumbles to dust and is destroyed.
@Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-items.sknydN8h27sC2a2G]{Wand of Pyrotechnics}
Wand, common
This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges and create a harmless burst of multicolored light at a point you can see up to 60 feet away. The burst of light is accompanied by a crackling noise that can be heard up to 300 feet away. The light is as bright as a torch flame but lasts only a second.
The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wandâs last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand erupts in a harmless pyrotechnic display and is destroyed.
@Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-items.piSA7vEv7wTfUI6I]{Wand of Scowls}
Wand, Common
This wand has 3 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 of its charges and target a Humanoid you can see within 30 feet of you. The target must succeed on a [[/save cha 10 format=long]] or be forced to scowl for 1 minute.
The wand regains all expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wandâs last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand transforms into a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-items.Qb2KiM8JClJCpwas]{wand of smiles}.

CREATING ADDITIONAL COMMON ITEMS
The âSpecial Featuresâ section in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Masterâs Guide is useful if you want to design other common magic items. For example, the What Minor Property Does It Have? table might inspire you to create a magic item that allows a character to speak and understand the Goblin language (based on the tableâs Language property), a magic item that glows in the presence of fiends (based on the Sentinel property), or a magic item that projects its userâs voice over a great distance (based on the War Leader property).

RECHARGING WITHOUT A DAWN
Some magic items can be used a limited number of times but are recharged by the arrival of dawn. What if youâre on a plane of existence that lacks anything resembling dawn? The DM should choose a time every 24 hours when such magic items recharge on that plane of existence.Â
Even on a world that experiences dawn each day, the DM is free to choose a different time â perhaps noon, sunset, or midnight â when certain magic items recharge.

ARE MAGIC ITEMS NECESSARY IN A CAMPAIGN?
The D&D game is built on the assumption that magic items appear sporadically and that they are always a boon, unless an item bears a curse. Characters and monsters are built to face each other without the help of magic items, which means that having a magic item always makes a character more powerful or versatile than a generic character of the same level. As DM, you never have to worry about awarding magic items just so the characters can keep up with the campaignâs threats. Magic items are truly prizes. Are they useful? Absolutely. Are they necessary? No.
Magic items can go from nice to necessary in the rare group that has no spellcasters, no monk, and no NPCs capable of casting @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.MagicWeapon14III]{magic weapon}. Having no magic makes it extremely difficult for a party to overcome monsters that have resistances or immunity to nonmagical damage. In such a game, youâll want to be generous with magic weapons or else avoid using such monsters.

If the campaignâs only Dungeon Master or enough players arenât available, the next session might have to be postponed, and repeated problems of this sort can endanger the continuation of the campaign.
In short: in a world filled with distractions, it can be hard to keep a campaign going. Enter the concept of the shared campaign.
In a shared campaign, more than one member of the group can take on the role of DM. A shared campaign is episodic rather than continuous, with each play session comprising a complete adventure.
The largest shared campaigns are administered by the D&D Adventurers League and overseen by Wizards of the Coast. You can also create your own shared campaign for a school D&D club, at a game store, a library, or anywhere else where D&D players and DMs gather.
A shared campaign establishes a framework that allows a player to take a character from one DMâs game to another one within the shared campaign. It creates a situation where almost nothing can prevent a scheduled session from happening. The roster of potential players can be quite large, virtually ensuring that any session has at least the minimum number of characters needed to play. If everyone shows up to play at the same time, multiple DMs ensure that everyone can take part.
In order to be successful, a shared campaign needs a champion â someone who takes on the responsibility of organizing and maintaining the group. If youâre interested in learning more about how to run a shared campaign and seeing how the Adventurers League handles certain issues, then the rest of this appendix is meant for you.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Time and time again, the core rulebooks come back to the point that the most important goal of a D&D play session is for everyone involved to have fun. In keeping with that goal, itâs a good idea for a shared campaign to have a code of conduct. Because people who donât normally play together might end up at the same table in a shared campaign, it can be helpful to establish some ground rules for behavior. On the broadest level, everyone in a shared campaign is responsible for making sure that everyone else has an enjoyable time. If anyone feels offended, belittled, or bullied by the actions of another person, the entire purpose of getting together to play is defeated. The basic code of conduct for a shared campaign might be modeled on a similar document that another organization or location uses. Beyond that, some special policies might need to be added to account for what might happen at the table when players and DMs interact. As a starting point, consider the following material, which is excerpted from the Adventurers League code of conduct. During a play session, participants are expected to âŚ
- Follow the DMâs lead and refrain from arguing with the DM or other players over rules.
- Let other players speak, and allow other players to get attention from the DM.
- Avoid excessive conversation that is not relevant to the adventure.
- Discourage others from using social media to bully, shame, or intimidate other participants.
- Make the DM or the campaignâs administrators aware of disruptive or aggressive behavior so that appropriate action can be taken.

Most important, the adventure must be timed to conclude when the session is scheduled to end. You also need to balance combat encounters for a range of levels, since a wide range of characters might be experiencing the adventure at the same time.
Adventure Duration
Every adventure in a shared campaign begins and ends in the same play session. (If a group of participants wants to take longer to finish and all are willing to do so, they can exceed the time limit.) A session or an event canât end with the adventure unfinished, since thereâs no way to guarantee that the same players and DM will be available for the next session.
Typically, adventures in a shared campaign are designed to take either 2 hours or 4 hours. In each hour of play, assume the characters can complete the following:
- Three or four simple combat encounters, or one or two complex ones
Within these constraints, it can be difficult to create open-ended adventures. A time limit assumes a specific starting point and endpoint. A good way to get around this restriction is to create an adventure with multiple possible endings.
Location-based adventures also work well with this format. A dungeon presents a natural limit on character options, while still giving the players choices. The adventure could be a quest to defeat a creature or recover an item, but the path to achieving that goal can be different for each group.
For more narrative adventures, try to focus on simple but flexible encounters or events. For instance, an adventure requires the characters to protect a high priest of Tyr from assassins. Give the players a chance to plan out how they want to protect the temple, complete with authority over the guards. A few well-fleshed out NPCs, some of whom might be suspected of working with the templeâs enemies, add a layer of tension. Consider leaving some details or plot points for the DM to decide. For example, the DM might have the option to pick which member of the temple guards is the traitor, ensuring that the scenario is different for each group.
Combat Encounters
Design your adventure for one of the four tiers, as &Reference[set]{set} forth in chapter 1 of the Playerâs Handbook: tier 1 includes levels 1-4, tier 2 is levels 5-10, tier 3 is levels 11-16, and tier 4 includes levels 17-20. Within each tier, itâs a good idea to use a specific level as a starting point. Assume a party of five 3rd-level characters for tier 1, five 8th-level characters for tier 2, five 13th-level characters for tier 3, and five 18th-level characters for tier 4. Use that assumption when creating combat encounters, whether you use the encounter-building rules in the Dungeon Masterâs Guide or are making an estimate.
For each battle, provide guidelines to help DMs adjust the difficulty up or down to match stronger or weaker parties. As a rule of thumb, account for a party two levels higher and for a party two levels lower, and donât worry about balancing the adventure for parties outside the adventureâs tier.
Rewards
Adventures in a shared campaign that uses variant rules for gaining levels and acquiring treasure (such as those described below) donât include experience point awards or specific amounts and kinds of treasure.

Playerâs Handbook plus One
You should think about which products players can use to create a character. The Adventurers League specifies that a player can use the Playerâs Handbook and one other official D&D source, such as a book or a PDF, to create a character. This restriction ensures that players donât need to own a lot of books to make a character and makes it easier for DMs to know how all the characters in the campaign work. Since a DM in a shared campaign must deal with a broad range of characters, rather than the same characters each week, it can be difficult to track all the interactions and abilities possible through mixing options freely. We strongly recommend this rule for any shared campaign.
Ability Scores
For generating ability scores, we recommend allowing players to choose between the standard array â 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 â and the option presented in âVariant: Customizing Ability Scoresâ in chapter 1 of the Playerâs Handbook.
Starting Equipment
For the sake of simplicity and efficiency, itâs a good idea to require that beginning characters must take the starting equipment specified by a characterâs class and background.

The Adventurers League, for instance, has variant systems for gaining levels and acquiring treasure. These âhouse rules,â presented below, serve as a sort of common language, ensuring that the rewards all characters receive are equivalent no matter what kind of adventure a character experienced.
Character Advancement
In a shared campaign, characters gain levels not by accumulating experience points but by reaching experience checkpoints. This system rewards every character (and player) for taking part in a play session.
A character reaches 1 checkpoint for each hour an adventure is designed to last. Note that the award is based on the adventureâs projected playing time, rather than the actual time spent at the table. The reward for completing an adventure designed for 2 hours of play is 2 checkpoints, even if a group spends more than 2 hours playing through it.
If a character completes an adventure designed for a tier higher than the characterâs current tier, the character is awarded 1 additional checkpoint. For example, if a 2nd-level character completes a 6th-level adventure designed to take 2 hours, the character reaches 3 checkpoints.
Playing time might seem like an odd way to measure experience awards, but the concept is in keeping with how a shared campaign is meant to work. A character played for 10 hours reaches the same number of checkpoints, whether the character went up against a dragon or spent all that time lurking in a pub. This approach ensures that a playerâs preferred style is neither penalized nor rewarded. Whether someone focuses on roleplaying and social interaction, defeating monsters in combat, or finding clever ways to avoid battles, this system gives credit where credit is due.
Using Checkpoints
The number of checkpoints needed to gain the next level depends on a characterâs level:
- At levels 1-4, reaching 4 checkpoints is sufficient to advance to the next level.
At the end of a play session, characters must level up if they have reached enough checkpoints to do so. The required number of checkpoints is expended, and any remaining checkpoints are applied toward the next opportunity for advancement.
Individual Treasure
In a shared campaign, each character receives a fixed number of gold pieces upon gaining a new level. (This gain represents the treasure a character might find in a standard adventure.)
As an additional benefit, characters are not required to put out gold to maintain a lifestyle. Instead, each character begins with a modest lifestyle, which improves as the character attains higher levels.
These benefits are summarized on the Individual Treasure table. Ways for characters to spend their treasure are covered in the â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.9yKh2PKDLwje3uzu.JournalEntryPage.EF9onxz6uUb24mo2#BuyingandSelling]{Buying and Selling}â section below.
Individual Treasure
| Level Gained | Lifestyle | Reward |
| 2-4 | Modest | 75 gp |
| 5-10 | Comfortable | 150 gp |
| 11-16 | Wealthy | 550 gp |
| 17-20 | Aristocratic | 5,500 gp |
Magic Items
Characters earn treasure points from adventures, then redeem those points in exchange for magic items. The list of available magic items is agreed to and compiled by the DMs running the campaign.
Gaining Treasure Points
Each character earns treasure points based on an adventureâs tier and its intended playing time:
- 1 treasure point is awarded for every 2 hours played in a tier 1 or tier 2 adventure.
As with the variant rules for gaining levels, this award is based on the adventureâs projected playing time, rather than the actual time a group spent at the table.
If a character completes an adventure of a tier higher than that characterâs tier, the character receives 1 additional treasure point for that adventure.
Creating an Item List
The DMs of the shared campaign should work together to compile a list of magic items that players can purchase. The magic item tables in @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.aZRQ5AMlwoqcrhVM.JournalEntryPage.aZRQ5AMlwoqcrhVM]{chapter 2} of this book and in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Masterâs Guide are the obvious starting point. Choosing which items to allow or ban is a matter of personal preference, just as it is for the DM in a standard campaign. Involving all the DMs helps to ensure that the list meets everyoneâs expectations. When in doubt, disallow an item; itâs easier to add it to the available items at a later time than it would be to remove it from the game once it has been handed out.
Naturally, the list of available items is longer for adventures in the higher tiers, and the point cost of those higher-tier items likewise increases. The Magic Items by Tier table provides the details.
For instance, treasure points from a tier 1 adventure can be spent on items from tables A, B, C, and F. Any item on the first three tables costs 4 points, and an item from table F costs 8 points.
Magic Items by Tier
| Magic Item Table | Available at Tiers | Point Cost |
| A | 1-4 | 4 |
| B | 1-4 | 4 |
| C | 1-4 | 4 |
| D | 2-4 | 8 |
| E | 3-4 | 8 |
| F | 1-4 | 8 |
| G | 2-4 | 10 |
| H | 3-4 | 10 |
| I | 3-4 | 12 |
Spending Treasure Points
Players must spend treasure points at the end of a play session, immediately after determining whether their characters have gained a level. The order of these steps is important, since a character might enter a new tier because of the level gain.
Players are entitled to choose any approved item from one of the magic item tables available in the current tier. Treasure points can be spread across multiple items.
Many items cost more treasure points than a character can earn in a 2- or 4-hour adventure. To buy such an item, a character can make a deposit, spending treasure points on the item until itâs paid off, at which time the character gains the item.
Buying and Selling
Characters can use their monetary treasure to purchase anything from the equipment lists in chapter 5 of the Playerâs Handbook. In addition, the Adventurers League allows characters to purchase potions and spell scrolls, as detailed below. A spell scroll can be purchased only by a character who is capable of casting the spell in question.

Selling Items
In a shared campaign, characters are not entitled to sell items they find on adventures or equipment they purchase with their personal funds. Weapons, armor, and other gear used by enemies are considered too damaged to have any monetary value.

Beneath the bustling City of Waterdeep, a beholder crime lord keeps tabs on everyone and everything â or so the beholder thinks. Known as Xanathar, this bizarre being believes it can gather information on everything in the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse. The beholder desires to know it all! But no matter what the beholder learns and what treasures it acquires, its most prized possession in all the multiverse remains its goldfish, Sylgar.
The first major rules expansion to the fifth edition of D&D, Xanatharâs Guide to Everything provides a wealth of new options for the game. Xanathar might not be able to realize its dream to know everything, but this source does delve into every major part of the game: adventurers, their adventures, and the magic they wield.

Written for both players and Dungeon Masters, this source offers options to enhance campaigns in any world, whether youâre adventuring in the Forgotten Realms, another official D&D setting, or a world of your own creation. The options here build on the official rules contained within the Playerâs Handbook, the Monster Manual, and the Dungeon Masterâs Guide. Think of this source as the companion to those volumes. It builds on their foundation, exploring pathways first laid in those publications. Nothing herein is required for a D&D campaign â this is not a fourth core rulebook â but we hope it will provide you new ways to enjoy the game.
@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.z0K8Hz5QzqqZsauE.JournalEntryPage.z0K8Hz5QzqqZsauE]{Chapter 1} offers character options that expand on those offered in the Playerâs Handbook. @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.aZRQ5AMlwoqcrhVM.JournalEntryPage.aZRQ5AMlwoqcrhVM]{Chapter 2} is a toolkit for the DM that provides new resources for running the game and designing adventures, all of it building on the Monster Manual and the Dungeon Masterâs Guide. @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.3VVLyxMZR49YrEX0.JournalEntryPage.3VVLyxMZR49YrEX0]{Chapter 3} presents new spells for player characters and spellcasting monsters to unleash.
@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.9yKh2PKDLwje3uzu.JournalEntryPage.9yKh2PKDLwje3uzu]{Appendix A} provides guidance on running a shared campaign, similar to the activities staged by the D&D Adventurers League, and @UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.N6vSOAYkgB2uScZb.JournalEntryPage.N6vSOAYkgB2uScZb]{appendix B} contains a host of tables that allow you to quickly generate names for the characters in your D&D stories.
As you peruse the many options herein, youâll come across observations from Xanathar itself. Like the beholderâs roving mind, your reading will take you to places in the game familiar and new. May you enjoy the journey!
UNEARTHED &Reference[arc]{ARCANA}
Much of the material in this source originally appeared in Unearthed &Reference[arc]{Arcana}, a series of online articles we publish to explore rules that might officially become part of the game. Some Unearthed &Reference[arc]{Arcana} offerings donât end up resonating with fans and are &Reference[set]{set} aside for the time being. The Unearthed &Reference[arc]{Arcana} material that inspired the options in the following chapters was well received and, thanks to feedback from thousands of you, has been refined into the official forms presented here.

The game especially makes frequent use of the rules in chapters 7-10 of the Playerâs Handbook: âUsing Ability Scores,â âAdventuring,â âCombat,â and âSpellcasting.â That bookâs appendix A is also crucial; it contains definitions of conditions, like invisible and prone. You donât need to know the rules by heart, but itâs helpful to know where to find them when you need them.
If youâre a DM, you should also know where to look things up in the Dungeon Masterâs Guide, especially the rules on how magic items work (see chapter 7 of that book). The introduction of the Monster Manual is your guide on how to use a monsterâs stat block.
The DM Adjudicates the Rules
One rule overrides all others: the DM is the final authority on how the rules work in play.
Rules are part of what makes D&D a game, rather than just improvised storytelling. The gameâs rules are meant to help organize, and even inspire, the action of a D&D campaign. The rules are a tool, and we want our tools to be as effective as possible. No matter how good those tools might be, they need a group of players to bring them to life and a DM to guide their use.
The DM is key. Many unexpected events can occur in a D&D campaign, and no &Reference[set]{set} of rules could reasonably account for every contingency. If the rules tried to do so, the game would become a slog. An alternative would be for the rules to severely limit what characters can do, which would be contrary to the open-endedness of D&D. Hereâs the path the game takes: it lays a foundation of rules that a DM can build on, and it embraces the DMâs role as the bridge between the things the rules address and the things they donât.
Ten Rules to Remember
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/00-004.rules.png\")
A few rules in the core rulebooks sometimes trip up a new player or DM. Here are ten of those rules. Keeping them in mind will help you interpret the options in this source.
Exceptions Supersede General Rules
General rules govern each part of the game. For example, the combat rules tell you that melee weapon attacks use Strength and ranged weapon attacks use Dexterity. Thatâs a general rule, and a general rule is in effect as long as something in the game doesnât explicitly say otherwise.
The game also includes elements â class features, spells, magic items, monster abilities, and the like â 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 weapon attacks using your Charisma, you can do so, even though that statement disagrees with the general rule.
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.
Advantage and Disadvantage
Even if more than one factor gives you advantage or disadvantage on a roll, you have it only once, and if you have advantage and disadvantage on the same roll, they cancel each other.
Combining Different Effects
Different game effects can affect a target at the same time. For example, two different benefits can give you a bonus to your Armor Class. But when two or more effects have the same proper name, only one of them (the most powerful one if their benefits arenât identical) applies while the durations of the effects overlap. For example, if bless is cast on you when youâre still under the effect of an earlier bless, you gain the benefit of only one casting. Similarly, if youâre in the radius of more than one Aura of Protection, you benefit only from the one that grants the highest bonus.
Reaction Timing
Certain game features let you take a special action, called a reaction, in response to some event. Making opportunity attacks and casting the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Shield14IIIIIIII]{shield} spell are two typical uses of reactions. If youâre unsure when a reaction occurs in relation to its trigger, hereâs the rule: the reaction happens after its trigger completes, unless the description of the reaction explicitly says otherwise.
Once you take a reaction, you canât take another one until the start of your next turn.
Resistance and Vulnerability
Hereâs the order that you apply modifiers to damage: (1) any relevant damage immunity, (2) any addition or subtraction to the damage, (3) one relevant damage resistance, and (4) one relevant damage vulnerability.
Even if multiple sources give you resistance to a type of damage youâre taking, you can apply resistance to it only once. The same is true of vulnerability.
Proficiency Bonus
If your proficiency bonus applies to a roll, you can add the bonus only once to the roll, even if multiple things in the game say your bonus applies. Moreover, if more than one thing tells you to double or halve your bonus, you double it only once or halve it only once before applying it. Whether multiplied, divided, or left at its normal value, the bonus can be used only once per roll.
Bonus Action Spells
If you want to cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 bonus action, remember that you canât cast any other spells before or after it on the same turn, except for cantrips with a casting time of 1 action.
Concentration
As soon as you start casting a spell or using a special ability that requires concentration, your concentration on another effect ends instantly.
Temporary Hit Points
Temporary hit points arenât cumulative. If you have temporary hit points and receive more of them, you donât add them together, unless a game feature says you can. Instead, you decide which temporary hit points to keep.

The rules for magic items are presented, along with the Treasure Hoard tables, in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Masterâs Guide. This section expands on those rules by offering you an alternative way of determining which magic items end up in the charactersâ possession and by adding a collection of common magic items to the game. The section ends with tables that group magic items according to rarity.
The system in the Dungeon Masterâs Guide is designed so that you can generate all treasure randomly, and the tables also govern the number of magic items the characters receive. In short, the tables do the work. But a DM whoâs designing or modifying an adventure might prefer to choose the magic items that come into play. If youâre in that situation, you can use the rules in this section to personalize your treasure hoards while staying within the gameâs limits for how many items the characters should ultimately accumulate.
This alternative method of treasure determination focuses on choosing magic items based on their rarity, rather than by rolling on the tables in the Dungeon Masterâs Guide. This method uses two tables: Magic Items Awarded by Tier and Magic Items Awarded by Rarity.
By Tier. The Magic Items Awarded by Tier table shows the number of magic items a D&D party typically gains during a campaign, culminating in the groupâs having accumulated one hundred magic items by 20th level. The table shows how many of those items are meant to be handed out during each of the four tiers of play. The emphasis on characters receiving more items during the second tier (levels 5-10) than in other tiers is by design. The second tier is where much of the play occurs in a typical D&D campaign, and the items gained in that tier prepare the characters for higher-level adventures.
Cůß5a-content-chunk-id=\"1e893e94-8fd2-4663-a22e-6544a1aed7dc\">By Rarity. The Magic Items Awarded by Rarity table takes the numbers from the Magic Items Awarded by Tier table and breaks them down to show the number of items of each rarity the characters are expected to have when they reach the end of a tier.
Minor and Major Items. Both tables in this section make a distinction between minor magic items and major magic items. This distinction exists in the Dungeon Masterâs Guide, yet those terms arenât used there. In that book, the minor items are those listed on Magic Item Tables A through E, and the major items are on Magic Item Tables F through I. As you can see from the Treasure Hoard tables in that book, major magic items are meant to be handed out much less frequently than minor items, even at higher levels of play.
| Character Level | Minor Items | Major Items | All Items |
| 1-4 | 9 | 2 | 11 |
| 5-10 | 28 | 6 | 34 |
| 11-16 | 24 | 6 | 30 |
| 17-20 | 19 | 6 | 25 |
| Total | 80 | 20 | 100 |
You decide when to place an item in an adventure that youâre creating or modifying, usually because you think the story calls for a magic item, the characters need one, or the players would be especially pleased to get one.
When you want to select an item as treasure for an encounter, the Magic Items Awarded by Rarity table serves as your item budget. Hereâs how to use it:
1. Jot down a copy of the table in your notes, so that you can make adjustments to the numbers as you select items to be placed in an adventure.
2. Refer to the line in the Level/CR column that corresponds to one of the following values (your choice): the level of the player characters, the challenge rating of the magic itemâs owner, or the challenge rating of the group of creatures guarding the item. The entries in that row of the table indicate the total number of items that would be appropriate for the characters to receive by the end of the tier represented by that row.
3. Choose a magic item of any rarity for which the entry in this row is not 0.
In the future, if you choose an item of a rarity thatâs not available in the current tier but is still available in a lower tier, deduct the item from the lower tier. If all lower tiers also have no items available of a given rarity, deduct the item from a higher tier.
If you prefer a more free-form method of choosing magic items, simply select each magic item you want to give out; then, when the characters acquire one, deduct it from the Magic Items Awarded by Rarity table in your notes. Whenever you do so, start with the lowest tier, and deduct the item from the first number you come across in the appropriate rarity column for the item, whether its minor or major. If that tier doesnât have a number greater than 0 for that rarity, go up a tier until you find one that does, and deduct the magic item from that number. Following this process, you will zero out each row of the table in order, going from the lowest levels to the highest.
The magic item tables in this section are based on the number of items the characters are expected to receive, not the number of items that are available in an adventure. When creating or modifying an adventure, assume that the characters wonât find all the items you place in it, unless most of the loot is in easy-to-find locations. Hereâs a good rule of thumb: an adventure can include a number of items thatâs 25 percent higher than the numbers in the tables (round up). For example, an adventure designed to take characters from 1st to 4th level might include fourteen items rather than eleven, in the expectation that three of those items wonât be found.
BEHIND THE DESIGN: MAGIC ITEM DISTRIBUTION
The Dungeon Masterâs Guide assumes a certain amount of treasure will be found over the course of a campaign. Over twenty levels of typical play, the game expects forty-five rolls on the Treasure Hoard tables, distributed as follows:
Because many of the table results call for more than one magic item, those forty-five rolls will result in the characters obtaining roughly one hundred items. The optional system described here yields the same number of items, distributed properly throughout the spectrum of rarity, while enabling you to control exactly which items the characters have a chance of acquiring.

The rule given in the Playerâs Handbook is simple: at the end of a fall, you take 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet you fell, to a maximum of 20d6. You also land prone, unless you somehow avoid taking damage from the fall. Here are two optional rules that expand on that simple rule.
The rule for falling assumes that a creature immediately drops the entire distance when it falls. But what if a creature is at a high altitude when it falls, perhaps on the back of a griffon or on board an airship? Realistically, a fall from such a height can take more than a few seconds, extending past the end of the turn when the fall occurred. If youâd like high-altitude falls to be properly time-consuming, use the following optional rule.
When you fall from a great height, you instantly descend up to 500 feet. If youâre still falling on your next turn, you descend up to 500 feet at the end of that turn. This process continues until the fall ends, either because you hit the ground or the fall is otherwise halted.
Flying Creatures and Falling
A flying creature in flight falls if it is knocked prone, if its speed is reduced to 0 feet, or if it otherwise loses the ability to move, unless it can hover or it is being held aloft by magic, such as the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Fly14IIIIIIIIIII]{fly} spell.
If youâd like a flying creature to have a better chance of surviving a fall than a non-flying creature does, use this rule: subtract the creatureâs current flying speed from the distance it fell before calculating falling damage. This rule is helpful to a flier that is knocked prone but is still conscious and has a current flying speed that is greater than 0 feet. The rule is designed to simulate the creature flapping its wings furiously or taking similar measures to &Reference[slow]{slow} the velocity of its fall.
If you use the rule for rate of falling in the previous section, a flying creature descends 500 feet on the turn when it falls, just as other creatures do. But if that creature starts any of its later turns still falling and is prone, it can halt the fall on its turn by spending half its flying speed to counter the prone condition (as if it were standing up in midair).

Most monsters also need to sleep. While a creature sleeps, it is subjected to the unconscious condition. Here are a few rules that expand on that basic fact.
A creature that is naturally sleeping, as opposed to being in a magically or chemically induced sleep, wakes up if it takes any damage or if someone else uses an action to shake or slap the creature awake. A sudden loud noise â such as yelling, thunder, or a ringing bell â also awakens someone that is sleeping naturally.
Whispers donât disturb sleep, unless a sleeperâs passive Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) score is 20 or higher and the whispers are within 10 feet of the sleeper. Speech at a normal volume awakens a sleeper if the environment is otherwise silent (no wind, birdsong, crickets, street sounds, or the like) and the sleeper has a passive Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) score of 15 or higher.
Sleeping in light armor has no adverse effect on the wearer, but sleeping in medium or heavy armor makes it difficult to recover fully during a long rest.
When you finish a long rest during which you slept in medium or heavy armor, you regain only one quarter of your spent Hit Dice (minimum of one die). If you have any levels of exhaustion, the rest doesnât reduce your exhaustion level.
A long rest is never mandatory, but going without sleep does have its consequences. If you want to account for the effects of sleep deprivation on characters and creatures, use these rules.
Whenever you end a 24-hour period without finishing a long rest, you must succeed on a [[/save con 10 format=long]] or suffer one level of exhaustion.
It becomes harder to fight off exhaustion if you stay awake for multiple days. After the first 24 hours, the DC increases by 5 for each consecutive 24-hour period without a long rest. The DC resets to 10 when you finish a long rest.

At the game table, though, the use of tools sometimes overlaps with the use of skills, and it can be unclear how to use them together in certain situations. This section offers various ways that tools can be used in the game.
Tools have more specific applications than skills. The &Reference[his]{History} skill applies to any event in the past. A tool such as a forgery kit is used to make fake objects and little else. Thus, why would a character who has the opportunity to acquire one or the other want to gain a tool proficiency instead of proficiency in a skill?
To make tool proficiencies more attractive choices for the characters, you can use the methods outlined below.
Advantage. If the use of a tool and the use of a skill both apply to a check, and a character is proficient with the tool and the skill, consider allowing the character to make the check with advantage. This simple benefit can go a long way toward encouraging players to pick up tool proficiencies. In the tool descriptions that follow, this benefit is often expressed as additional &Reference[ins]{insight} (or something similar), which translates into an increased chance that the check will be a success.
Added Benefit. In addition, consider giving characters who have both a relevant skill and a relevant tool proficiency an added benefit on a successful check. This benefit might be in the form of more detailed information or could simulate the effect of a different sort of successful check. For example, a character proficient with masonâs tools makes a successful Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check to find a secret door in a stone wall. Not only does the character notice the doorâs presence, but you decide that the tool proficiency entitles the character to an automatic success on an Intelligence (&Reference[inv]{Investigation}) check to determine how to open the door.

The following sections go into detail about the tools presented in the Playerâs Handbook, offering advice on how to use them in a campaign.
Components. The first paragraph in each description gives details on what a &Reference[set]{set} of supplies or tools is made up of. A character who is proficient with a tool knows how to use all of its component parts.
Skills. Every tool potentially provides advantage on a check when used in conjunction with certain skills, provided a character is proficient with the tool and the skill. As DM, you can allow a character to make a check using the indicated skill with advantage. Paragraphs that begin with skill names discuss these possibilities. In each of these paragraphs, the benefits apply only to someone who has proficiency with the tool, not someone who simply owns it.
With respect to skills, the system is mildly abstract in terms of what a tool proficiency represents; essentially, it assumes that a character who has proficiency with a tool also has learned about facets of the trade or profession that are not necessarily associated with the use of the tool.
In addition, you can consider giving a character extra information or an added benefit on a skill check. The text provides some examples and ideas when this opportunity is relevant.
Special Use. Proficiency with a tool usually brings with it a particular benefit in the form of a special use, as described in this paragraph.
Sample DCs. A table at the end of each section lists activities that a tool can be used to perform, and suggested DCs for the necessary ability checks.
Alchemistâs supplies enable a character to produce useful concoctions, such as acid or alchemistâs fire.
Components. Alchemistâs supplies include two glass beakers, a metal frame to hold a beaker in place over an open flame, a glass stirring rod, a small mortar and pestle, and a pouch of common alchemical ingredients, including salt, powdered iron, and purified water.
&Reference[arc]{Arcana}. Proficiency with alchemistâs supplies allows you to unlock more information on &Reference[arc]{Arcana} checks involving potions and similar materials.
&Reference[inv]{Investigation}. When you inspect an area for clues, proficiency with alchemistâs supplies grants additional &Reference[ins]{insight} into any chemicals or other substances that might have been used in the area.
Alchemical Crafting. You can use this tool proficiency to create alchemical items. A character can spend money to collect raw materials, which weigh 1 pound for every 50 gp spent. The DM can allow a character to make a check using the indicated skill with advantage. As part of a long rest, you can use alchemistâs supplies to make one dose of acid, alchemistâs fire, antitoxin, oil, perfume, or soap. Subtract half the value of the created item from the total gp worth of raw materials you are carrying.

Brewing is the art of producing beer. Not only does beer serve as an alcoholic beverage, but the process of brewing purifies water. Crafting beer takes weeks of fermentation, but only a few hours of work.
Components. Brewerâs supplies include a large glass jug, a quantity of hops, a siphon, and several feet of tubing.
&Reference[his]{History}. Proficiency with brewerâs supplies gives you additional &Reference[ins]{insight} on Intelligence (&Reference[his]{History}) checks concerning events that involve alcohol as a significant element.
&Reference[med]{Medicine}. This tool proficiency grants additional &Reference[ins]{insight} when you treat anyone suffering from alcohol poisoning or when you can use alcohol to dull pain.
&Reference[per]{Persuasion}. A stiff drink can help soften the hardest heart. Your proficiency with brewerâs supplies can help you ply someone with drink, giving them just enough alcohol to mellow their mood.

| Ignore effects of alcohol | 20 |
Calligraphy treats writing as a delicate, beautiful art. Calligraphers produce text that is pleasing to the eye, using a style that is difficult to forge. Their supplies also give them some ability to examine scripts and determine if they are legitimate, since a calligrapherâs training involves long hours of studying writing and attempting to replicate its style and design.
Components. Calligrapherâs supplies include ink, a dozen sheets of parchment, and three quills.
&Reference[arc]{Arcana}. Although calligraphy is of little help in deciphering the content of magical writings, proficiency with these supplies can aid in identifying who wrote a script of a magical &Reference[nat]{nature}.
&Reference[his]{History}. This tool proficiency can augment the benefit of successful checks made to analyze or investigate ancient writings, scrolls, or other texts, including runes etched in stone or messages in frescoes or other displays.
Decipher Treasure Map. This tool proficiency grants you expertise in examining maps. You can make an [[/check int format=long]] to determine a mapâs age, whether a map includes any hidden messages, or similar facts.

&Reference[his]{History}. This tool proficiency aids you in identifying the use and the origin of wooden buildings and other large wooden objects.
&Reference[inv]{Investigation}. You gain additional &Reference[ins]{insight} when inspecting areas within wooden structures, because you know tricks of construction that can conceal areas from discovery.
&Reference[prc]{Perception}. You can spot irregularities in wooden walls or floors, making it easier to find trap doors and secret passages.
&Reference[ste]{Stealth}. You can quickly assess the weak spots in a wooden floor, making it easier to avoid the places that creak and groan when theyâre stepped on.
Fortify. With 1 minute of work and raw materials, you can make a door or window harder to force open. Increase the DC needed to open it by 5.
Temporary Shelter. As part of a long rest, you can construct a lean-to or a similar shelter to keep your group dry and in the shade for the duration of the rest. Because it was fashioned quickly from whatever wood was available, the shelter collapses 1d3 days after being assembled.
| Activity | DC |

| Find a weak point in a wooden wall | 15 |
| Pry apart a door | 20 |
Using cartographerâs tools, you can create accurate maps to make travel easier for yourself and those who come after you. These maps can range from large-scale depictions of mountain ranges to diagrams that show the layout of a dungeon level.
Components. Cartographerâs tools consist of a quill, ink, parchment, a pair of compasses, calipers, and a ruler.
&Reference[arc]{Arcana}, &Reference[his]{History}, &Reference[rel]{Religion}. You can use your knowledge of maps and locations to unearth more detailed information when you use these skills. For instance, you might spot hidden messages in a map, identify when the map was made to determine if geographical features have changed since then, and so forth.
&Reference[nat]{Nature}. Your familiarity with physical geography makes it easier for you to answer questions or solve issues relating to the terrain around you.
&Reference[sur]{Survival}. Your understanding of geography makes it easier to find paths to civilization, to predict areas where villages or towns might be found, and to avoid becoming lost. You have studied so many maps that common patterns, such as how trade routes evolve and where settlements arise in relation to geographic locations, are familiar to you.
Craft a Map. While traveling, you can draw a map as you go in addition to engaging in other activity.

Components. Cobblerâs tools consist of a hammer, an awl, a knife, a shoe stand, a cutter, spare leather, and thread.
&Reference[arc]{Arcana}, &Reference[his]{History}. Your knowledge of shoes aids you in identifying the magical properties of enchanted boots or the &Reference[his]{history} of such items.
&Reference[inv]{Investigation}. Footwear holds a surprising number of secrets. You can learn where someone has recently visited by examining the wear and the dirt that has accumulated on their shoes. Your experience in repairing shoes makes it easier for you to identify where damage might come from.

&Reference[dec]{Deception}. In certain cases, a disguise can improve your ability to weave convincing lies.
&Reference[itm]{Intimidation}. The right disguise can make you look more fearsome, whether you want to scare someone away by posing as a plague victim or intimidate a gang of thugs by taking the appearance of a bully.
&Reference[prf]{Performance}. A cunning disguise can enhance an audienceâs enjoyment of a &Reference[prf]{performance}, provided the disguise is properly designed to evoke the desired reaction.
&Reference[per]{Persuasion}. Folk tend to trust a person in uniform. If you disguise yourself as an authority figure, your efforts to persuade others are often more effective.
Create Disguise. As part of a long rest, you can create a disguise. It takes you 1 minute to don such a disguise once you have created it. You can carry only one such disguise on you at a time without drawing undue attention, unless you have a bag of holding or a similar method to keep them hidden. Each disguise weighs 1 pound.
At other times, it takes 10 minutes to craft a disguise that involves moderate changes to your appearance, and 30 minutes for one that requires more extensive changes.

Many spells create obvious effects: explosions of fire, walls of ice, teleportation, and the like. Other spells, such as @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.CharmPerson14III]{charm person}, display no visible, audible, or otherwise perceptible sign of their effects, and could easily go unnoticed by someone unaffected by them. As noted in the Playerâs Handbook, you normally donât know that a spell has been cast unless the spell produces a noticeable effect.
But what about the act of casting a spell? Is it possible for someone to perceive that a spell is being cast in their presence? To be perceptible, the casting of a spell must involve a verbal, somatic, or material component. The form of a material component doesnât matter for the purposes of &Reference[prc]{perception}, whether itâs an object specified in the spellâs description, a component pouch, or a spellcasting focus.
If the need for a spellâs components has been removed by a special ability, such as the sorcererâs Subtle Spell feature or the Innate Spellcasting trait possessed by many creatures, the casting of the spell is imperceptible. If an imperceptible casting produces a perceptible effect, itâs normally impossible to determine who cast the spell in the absence of other evidence.
Sometimes a character wants to identify a spell that someone else is casting or that was already cast. To do so, a character can use their reaction to identify a spell as itâs being cast, or they can use an action on their turn to identify a spell by its effect after it is cast.
If the character perceived the casting, the spellâs effect, or both, the character can make an Intelligence (&Reference[arc]{Arcana}) check with the reaction or action. The DC equals 15 + the spellâs level. If the spell is cast as a class spell and the character is a member of that class, the check is made with advantage. For example, if the spellcaster casts a spell as a cleric, another cleric has advantage on the check to identify the spell. Some spells arenât associated with any class when theyâre cast, such as when a monster uses its Innate Spellcasting trait.
This Intelligence (&Reference[arc]{Arcana}) check represents the fact that identifying a spell requires a quick mind and familiarity with the theory and practice of casting. This is true even for a character whose spellcasting ability is Wisdom or Charisma. Being able to cast spells doesnât by itself make you adept at deducing exactly what others are doing when they cast their spells.
A spell specifies what a caster can target with it: any type of creature, a creature of a certain type (humanoid or beast, for instance), an object, an area, the caster, or something else. But what happens if a spell targets something that isnât a valid target? For example, someone might cast @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.CharmPerson14III]{charm person} on a creature believed to be a humanoid, not knowing that the target is in fact a vampire. If this issue comes up, handle it using the following rule.
If you cast a spell on someone or something that canât be aA ůffected by the spell, nothing happens to that target, but if you used a spell slot to cast the spell, the slot is still expended. If the spell normally has no effect on a target that succeeds on a saving throw, the invalid target appears to have succeeded on its saving throw, even though it didnât attempt one (giving no hint that the creature is in fact an invalid target). Otherwise, you perceive that the spell did nothing to the target.

The Dungeon Masterâs Guide includes the following short rule for using areas of effect on a grid.
Choose an intersection of squares as the point of origin of an area of effect, then follow the rules for that kind of area as normal (see the âAreas of Effectâ section in chapter 10 of the Playerâs Handbook). If an area of effect is circular and covers at least half a square, it affects that square.
That rule works, but it can require a fair amount of on-the-spot adjudication. This section offers two alternatives for determining the exact location of an area: the template method and the token method. Both of these methods assume youâre using a grid and miniatures of some sort. Because these methods can yield different results for the number of squares in a given area, itâs not recommended that they be combined at the table â choose whichever method you and your players find easier or more intuitive.
The template method uses two-dimensional shapes that represent different areas of effect. The aim of the method is to accurately portray the length and width of each area on the grid and to leave little doubt about which creatures are affected by it. Youâll need to make these templates or find premade ones.
Making a Template. Making a template is simple. Get a piece of paper or card stock, and cut it in the shape of the area of effect youâre using. Every 5 feet of the area equals 1 inch of the templateâs size. For example, the 20-foot-radius sphere of the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Fireball14IIIIII]{fireball} spell, which has a 40-foot diameter, would translate into a circular template with an 8-inch diameter.
Using a Template. To use an area-of-effect template, apply it to the grid. If the terrain is flat, you can lay it on the surface; otherwise, hold the template above the surface and take note of which squares it covers or partially covers. If any part of a square is under the template, that square is included in the area of effect. If a creatureâs miniature is in an affected square, that creature is in the area. Being adjacent to the edge of the template isnât enough for a square to be included in the area of effect; the square must be entirely or partly covered by the template.
You can also use this method without a grid. If you do so, a creature is included in an area of effect if any part of the miniatureâs base is overlapped by the template.
When you place a template, follow all the rules in the Playerâs Handbook for placing the associated area of effect. If an area of effect, such as a cone or a line, originates from a spellcaster, the template should extend out from the caster and be positioned however the caster likes within the bounds of the rules.
Diagrams 2.1 and 2.2 show the template method in action.
The token method is meant to make areas of effect tactile and fun. To use this method, grab some dice or other tokens, which youâre going to use to represent your areas of effect.
Rather than faithfully representing the shapes of the different areas of effect, this method gives you a way to create square-edged versions of them on a grid easily, as described in the following subsections.
Using Tokens. Every 5-foot square of an area of effect becomes a die or other token that you place on the grid. Each token goes inside a square, not at an intersection of lines. If an areaâs token is in a square, that square is included in the area of effect. Itâs that simple.
Diagrams 2.3 through 2.6 show this method in action, using dice as the tokens.
Circles. This method depicts everything using squares, and a circular area of effect becomes square in it, whether the area is a sphere, cylinder, or radius. For instance, the 10-foot radius of @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.FlameStrike14III]{flame strike}, which has a diameter of 20 feet, is expressed as a square that is 20 feet on a side, as shown in diagram 2.3. Diagram 2.4 shows that area with total cover inside it.
Cones. A cone is represented by rows of tokens on the grid, extending from the coneâs point of origin. In the rows, the squares are adjoining side by side or corner to corner, as shown in diagram 2.5. To determine the number of rows a cone contains, divide its length by 5. For example, a 30-foot cone contains six rows.
Hereâs how to create the rows. Starting with a square adjacent to the coneâs point of origin, place one token. The square can be orthogonally or diagonally adjacent to the point of origin. In every row beyond that one, place as many tokens as you placed in the previous row, plus one more token. Place this rowâs tokens so that their squares each share a side with a square in the previous row. If the cone is orthogonally adjacent to the point of origin, youâll have one more token to place in the row; place it on one end or the other of the row you just created (you donât have to pick the side chosen in diagram 2.5). Keep placing tokens in this way until youâve created all of the coneâs rows.
Lines. A line can extend from its source orthogonally or diagonally, as shown in diagram 2.6.

They are an alternative to the rules in âCreating Encountersâ in chapter 3 of the Dungeon Masterâs Guide. This approach uses the same math that underlies the rules presented in that book, but it makes a few adjustments to the way that math is presented to produce a more flexible system.
This encounter-building system assumes that, as DM, you want to have a clear understanding of the threat posed by a group of monsters. It will be useful to you if you want to emphasize combat in your adventure, if you want to ensure that a foe isnât too deadly for a group of characters, and if you want to understand the relationship between a characterâs level and a monsterâs challenge rating.
Building an encounter using these guidelines follows a series of steps.
To build an encounter using this system, first take stock of the player characters. This system uses the charactersâ levels to determine the numbers and challenge ratings of creatures you can pit them against without making a fight too hard or too easy. Even though character level is important, you should also take note of each characterâs hit point maximum and saving throw modifiers, as well as how much damage the mightiest characters can deal with a single attack. Character level and challenge rating are good for defining the difficulty of an encounter, but they donât tell the whole story. Youâll make use of these additional character statistics when you select monsters for an encounter in step 4.
Determine whether you want to create a battle that pits one creature against the characters, or if you want to use multiple monsters. If the fight is against a single opponent, your best candidate for that foe is one of the gameâs legendary creatures, which are designed to fill this need. If the battle involves multiple monsters, decide roughly how many creatures you want to use before continuing with step 3.
Step 3: Determine Numbers and Challenge Ratings
The process for building fights that feature only one legendary monster is simple. The Solo Monster Challenge Rating table shows you which challenge rating (CR) to use for a legendary creature opposing a party of four to six characters, creating a satisfying but difficult battle. For example, for a party of five 9th-level characters, a CR 12 legendary creature makes an optimal encounter.
For a more perilous battle, match up the characters with a legendary creature whose challenge rating is 1 or 2 higher than optimal. For an easy fight, use a legendary creature whose challenge rating is 3 or more lower than the challenge rating for an optimal encounter.
| Character Level | â â â â â Party Size â â â â â |
| 6 Characters | 5 Characters | 4 Characters |
| 1st | 2 | 2 | 1 |

If your encounter features multiple monsters, balancing it takes a little more work. Refer to the Multiple Monsters tables, which are broken up by level ranges, providing information for how to balance encounters for characters of 1st-5th level, 6th-10th level, 11th-15th level, and 16th-20th level.
First, you need to note the challenge rating for each creature the party will face. Then, to create your encounter, find the level of each character on the appropriate table. Each table shows what a single character of a given level is equivalent to in terms of challenge rating â a value represented by a ratio that compares numbers of characters to a single monster ranked by challenge rating. The first number in each expression is the number of characters of the given level. The second number tells how many monsters of the listed challenge rating those characters are equivalent to.
For example, reading the row for 1st-level characters from the 1st-5th Level table, we see that one 1st-level character is the equivalent of two CR 1/8 monsters or one CR 1/4 monster. The ratio reverses for higher challenge ratings, where a single monster is more powerful than a single 1st-level character. One CR 1/2 creature is equivalent to three 1st-level characters, while one CR 1 opponent is equivalent to five.
Letâs say you have a party of four 3rd-level characters. Using the table, you can see that one CR 2 foe is a good match for the entire party, but that the characters will likely have a hard time handling a CR 3 creature.
Using the same guidelines, you can mix and match challenge ratings to put together a group of creatures to oppose four 3rd-level characters. For example, you could select one CR 1 creature. Thatâs worth two 3rd-level characters, leaving you with two charactersâ worth of monsters to allocate. You could then add two CR 1/4 monsters to account for one other character and one CR 1/2 monster to account for the final character. In total, your encounter has one CR 1, one CR 1/2, and two CR 1/4 creatures.
For groups in which the characters are of different levels, you have two options. You can group all characters of the same level together, match them with monsters, and then combine all the creatures into one encounter. Alternatively, you can determine the groupâs average level and treat each character as being of that level for the purpose of selecting appropriate monsters.
The above guidelines are designed to create a fight that will challenge a party while still being winnable. If you want to create an easier encounter that will challenge characters but not threaten to defeat them, you can treat the party as if it were roughly one-third smaller than it is. For example, to make an easy encounter for a party of five characters, put them up against monsters that would be a tough fight for three characters. Likewise, you can treat the party as up to half again larger to build a battle that is potentially deadly, though still not likely to be an automatic defeat. A party of four characters facing an encounter designed for six characters would fall into this category.
Weak Monsters and High-Level Characters
To save space on the tables and keep them simple, some of the lower challenge ratings are missing from the higher-level tables. For low challenge ratings not appearing on the table, assume a 1:12 ratio, indicating that twelve creatures of those challenge ratings are equivalent to one character of a specific level.
Managing a lot of minions is hard.
You end up getting mad and eating half of them. Itâs easier if you can keep an eye on each one.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/04-005.eyesymbol.png\")
So stick with ten, eleven tops.
After using the tables from the previous step to determine the challenge ratings of the monsters in your encounter, youâre ready to pick individual monsters. This process is more of an art than a science.
In addition to assessing monsters by challenge rating, itâs important to look at how certain monsters might stack up against your group. Hit points, attacks, and saving throws are all useful indicators. Compare the damage a monster can deal to the hit point maximum of each character. Be wary of any monster that is capable of dropping a character with a single attack, unless you are designing the fight to be especially deadly.
In the same way, compare the monstersâ hit points to the damage output of the partyâs strongest characters, again looking for targets that can be killed with one blow. Having a significant number of foes drop in the first rounds of combat can make an encounter too easy.
Likewise, look at whether a monsterâs deadliest abilities call for saving throws that most of the party members are weak with, and compare the charactersâ offensive abilities to the monstersâ saving throws.
If the only creatures you can choose from at the desired challenge rating arenât a good match for the charactersâ statistics, donât be afraid to go back to step 3. By altering your challenge rating targets and adjusting the number of creatures in the encounter, you can come up with different options for building the encounter.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/04-006.multiple-monsters.png\")
The events that unfold during an encounter have to do with a lot more than swinging weapons and casting spells. The most interesting confrontations also take into account the personality or behavior of the monsters, perhaps determining whether they can be communicated with or whether theyâre all acting in concert. Other possible factors include the &Reference[nat]{nature} of the physical environment, such as whether it includes obstacles or other features that might come into play, and the ever-present possibility of something unexpected taking place.
If you already have ideas for how to flesh out your encounter in these ways, go right ahead and finish your creation. Otherwise, take a look at the following sections for some basic advice on adding flavor elements to the simple mechanics of the fight.
To address the question of a monsterâs personality, you can use the tables in chapter 4 of the Dungeon Masterâs Guide, use the Monster Personality table below, or simply jot down a few notes based on a creatureâs Monster Manual description. During the battle, you can use these ideas to inform how you portray the monsters and their actions. To keep things simple, you can assign the same personality traits to an entire group of monsters. For example, one bandit gang might be an unruly mob of braggarts, while the members of another gang are always on edge and ready to flee at the first sign of danger.
| d8 | Personality |
| 1 | Cowardly; looking to surrender |
| 2 | Greedy; wants treasure |
| 3 | Braggart; makes a show of bravery but runs from danger |
| 4 | Fanatic; ready to die fighting |
| 5 | Rabble; poorly trained and easily rattled |
| 6 | Brave; stands its ground |
| 7 | Joker; taunts its enemies |
| 8 | Bully; refuses to believe it can lose |
@RollTable[Personality]{Open RollTable}
Do rivalries, hatreds, or attachments exist among the monsters in an encounter? If so, you can use such relationships to inform the monstersâ behavior during combat. The death of a much-revered leader might throw its followers into a frenzy. On the other hand, a monster might decide to flee if its spouse is killed, or a mistreated toady might be eager to surrender and betray its master in return for its life.
| d6 | Relationship |
| 1 | Has a rival; wants one random ally to suffer |
| 2 | Is abused by others; hangs back, betrays at first opportunity |
| 3 | Is worshiped; allies will die for it |
| 4 | Is outcast by group; its allies ignore it |
| 5 | Is outcast by choice; cares only for itself |
| 6 | Is seen as a bully; its allies want to see it defeated |

Terrain and Traps
A few elements that make a battlefield something other than a large area of flat ground can go a long way toward spicing up an encounter. Consider setting your encounter in an area that would provide challenges even if a fight were not taking place there. What potential perils or other features might draw the charactersâ attention, either before or during the fight? Why are monsters lurking in this area to begin with â does it offer good hiding places, for instance?
To add details to an encounter area at random, look to the tables in appendix A of the Dungeon Masterâs Guide to determine room and area features, potential hazards, obstacles, traps, and more.
Random Events
Consider what might happen in an encounter area if the characters were to never enter it. Do the guards serve in shifts? What other characters or monsters might visit? Do creatures gather there to eat or gossip? Are there any natural phenomena â such as strong winds, earth tremors, or rain squalls â that sometimes take place in the area? Random events can add a fun element of the unexpected to an encounter. Just when you think a fightâs outcome is evident, an unforeseen event can make things more compelling.
A number of the tables in the Dungeon Masterâs Guide can suggest random events. The tables used for encounter location, weird locales, and wilderness weather in chapter 5 of that book are a good starting point for outdoor encounters. The tables in appendix A can be useful for indoor and outdoor encounters â especially the tables for obstacles, traps, and tricks. Finally, consult the random encounter tables in the next section of this book for inspiration.
The guidelines above assume that you are concerned about balance in your combat encounters and have enough time to prepare them. If you donât have much time, or if you want simpler but less precise guidelines, the Quick Matchups table below offers an alternative.
This table gives you a way to match a character of a certain level with a number of monsters. The table lists the challenge ratings to use for including one, two, and four monsters per character for each level. For instance, looking at the 3rd-level entry on the table, you can see that a CR 1/2 monster is equivalent to one 3rd-level character, as are two CR 1/4 monsters and four CR 1/8 ones.
| Character Level | 1 Monster | 2 Monsters | 4 Monsters |
| 1st | 1/4 | 1/8 | â |
| 2nd | 1/2 | 1/4 | â |
| 3rd | 1/2 | 1/4 | 1/8 |
| 4th | 1 | 1/2 | 1/4 |
| 5th | 2 | 1 | 1/2 |
| 6th | 2 | 1 | 1/2 |
| 7th | 3 | 1 | 1/2 |
| 8th | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| 9th | 4 | 2 | 1 |
| 10th | 4 | 2 | 1 |
| 11th | 4 | 3 | 2 |
| 12th | 5 | 3 | 2 |
| 13th | 6 | 4 | 2 |
| 14th | 6 | 4 | 2 |
| 15th | 7 | 4 | 3 |
| 16th | 7 | 4 | 3 |
| 17th | 8 | 5 | 3 |
| 18th | 8 | 5 | 3 |
| 19th | 9 | 6 | 4 |

This section builds on that guidance, offering a host of random encounter tables for you to use when you determine that a random encounter is going to take place.
Using the monster lists in appendix B of that book as a basis, weâve built a &Reference[set]{set} of tables for each environment category: arctic, coastal, desert, forest, grassland, hill, mountain, swamp, Underdark, underwater, and urban. Within each category, separate tables are provided for each of the four tiers of play: levels 1-4, 5-10, 11-16, and 17-20.
Even though you can use these tables âout of the box,â the advice in the Dungeon Masterâs Guide still holds true: tailoring such tables to your game can reinforce the themes and flavor of your campaign. We encourage you to customize this material to make it your own.
In the tables, a name in bold refers to a stat block in the Monster Manual.
Each of the results on these tables represents a certain kind of challenge or potential challenge.
If you let the dice have their way and the result is a large number of monsters, the generated encounter might be too difficult or dangerous for the characters in their present circumstances. They might want to flee to avoid contact, or not to approach any closer after perceiving the monsters from a distance.
Of course, you also have the freedom to adjust the numbers, but itâs important to remember that not every encounter involving a monster needs to result in combat. An encounter might indeed be the prelude to a battle, a parley, or some other interaction. What happens next depends on what the characters try, or what you decide is bound to occur.
The tables also include entries for what the Dungeon Masterâs Guide calls âencounters of a less monstrous &Reference[nat]{nature}.â Many of these results cry out to be customized or detailed, which offers you an opportunity to connect them to the story of your campaign. And in so doing, youâve taken a step toward making your own personalized encounter table. Now, keep going!

Some DMs also allow the use of feats to customize a character. Feats are an optional rule in chapter 6, âCustomization Options,â of the Playerâs Handbook. The DM decides whether theyâre used and may also decide that some feats are available in a campaign and others arenât.
This section introduces a collection of special feats that allow you to explore your characterâs race further. These feats are each associated with a race from the Playerâs Handbook, as summarized in the Racial Feats table. A racial feat represents either a deepening connection to your raceâs culture or a physical transformation that brings you closer to an aspect of your raceâs lineage.
The cause of a particular transformation is up to you and your DM. A transformational feat can symbolize a latent quality that has emerged as you age, or a transformation might be the result of an event in the campaign, such as exposure to powerful magic or visiting a place of ancient significance to your race. Transformations are a fundamental motif of fantasy literature and folklore. Figuring out why your character has changed can be a rich addition to your campaignâs story.

Prerequisite: Halfling
Your people have extraordinary luck, which you have learned to mystically lend to your companions when you see them falter. Youâre not sure how you do it; you just wish it, and it happens. Surely a sign of fortuneâs favor!
When an ally you can see within 30 feet of you rolls a 1 on the d20 for an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to let the ally reroll the die. The ally must use the new roll.
When you use this ability, you canât use your Lucky racial trait before the end of your next turn.
Prerequisite: Dragonborn
When angered, you can radiate menace. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Strength, Constitution, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- Instead of exhaling destructive energy, you can expend a use of your Breath Weapon trait to roar, forcing each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you to make a [[/save wis format=long]] (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). A target automatically succeeds on the save if it canât hear or see you. On a failed save, a target becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. If the frightened target takes any damage, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Prerequisite: Dragonborn
You manifest scales and claws reminiscent of your draconic ancestors. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Strength, Constitution, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- Your scales harden. While you arenât wearing armor, you can calculate your AC as 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
- You grow retractable claws from the tips of your fingers. Extending or retracting the claws requires no action. The claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the normal bludgeoning damage for an unarmed strike.
Prerequisite: Elf (drow)
You learn more of the magic typical of dark elves. You learn the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DetectMagic14III]{detect magic} spell and can cast it at will, without expending a spell slot. You also learn @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Levitate14IIIIII]{levitate} and @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DispelMagic14III]{dispel magic}, each of which you can cast once without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to cast those two spells in this way when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for all three spells.
Prerequisite: Dwarf
You have the blood of dwarf heroes flowing through your veins. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- Whenever you take the Dodge action in combat, you can spend one Hit Die to heal yourself. Roll the die, add your Constitution modifier, and regain a number of hit points equal to the total (minimum of 1).
Prerequisite: Elf or half-elf
The accuracy of elves is legendary, especially that of elf archers and spellcasters. You have uncanny aim with attacks that rely on precision rather than brute force. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- Whenever you have advantage on an attack roll using Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma, you can reroll one of the dice once.
Prerequisite: Gnome
Your people are clever, with a knack for &Reference[ill]{illusion} magic. You have learned a magical trick for fading away when you suffer harm. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Dexterity or Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- Immediately after you take damage, you can use a reaction to magically become invisible until the end of your next turn or until you attack, deal damage, or force someone to make a saving throw. Once you use this ability, you canât do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Prerequisite: Elf (high)
Your study of high elven lore has unlocked fey power that few other elves possess, except your eladrin cousins. Drawing on your fey ancestry, you can momentarily stride through the Feywild to shorten your path from one place to another. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Intelligence or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- You learn to speak, read, and write Sylvan.
- You learn the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.MistyStep14IIIII]{misty step} spell and can cast it once without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to cast it in this way when you finish a short or long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Prerequisite: Tiefling
You learn to call on hellfire to serve your commands. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Intelligence or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- When you roll fire damage for a spell you cast, you can reroll any roll of 1 on the fire damage dice, but you must use the new roll, even if it is another 1.
- Whenever you cast a spell that deals fire damage, you can cause flames to wreathe you until the end of your next turn. The flames donât harm you or your possessions, and they shed bright light out to 30 feet and dim light for an additional 30 feet. While the flames are present, any creature within 5 feet of you that hits you with a melee attack takes 1d4 fire damage.
Prerequisite: Tiefling
Fiendish blood runs strong in you, unlocking a resilience akin to that possessed by some fiends. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- You have resistance to cold damage and poison damage.
- You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned.
Prerequisite: Half-orc
Your inner fury burns tirelessly. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- When you hit with an attack using a simple or martial weapon, you can roll one of the weaponâs damage dice an additional time and add it as extra damage of the weaponâs damage type. Once you use this ability, you canât use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
- Immediately after you use your Relentless Endurance trait, you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack.
Prerequisite: Half-elf, half-orc, or human
You have a knack for learning new things. You gain the following benefits:
- You gain one skill proficiency of your choice, one tool proficiency of your choice, and fluency in one language of your choice.
- Choose one skill in which you have proficiency. You gain expertise with that skill, which means your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make with it. The skill you choose must be one that isnât already benefiting from a feature, such as Expertise, that doubles your proficiency bonus.
Prerequisite: Halfling
Fortune favors you when someone tries to strike you. You gain the following benefits:
- Increase your Dexterity, Constitution, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- When a creature you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to force that creature to reroll. Once you use this ability, you canât use it again until you roll initiative at the start of combat or until you finish a short or long rest.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/03-001.fey-teleportation.png\")
Prerequisite: Dwarf or a Small race
You are uncommonly nimble for your race. You gain the following benefits:
Prerequisite: Elf (wood)
You learn the magic of the primeval woods, which are revered and protected by your people. You learn one druid cantrip of your choice. You also learn the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Longstrider14III]{longstrider} and @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.PassWithouTrac14]{pass without trace} spells, each of which you can cast once without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to cast these two spells in this way when you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for all three spells.

The tables in this appendix are designed to make life easier for both kinds of people, whether youâre naming a player character, a nonplayer character, a monster, or even a place.
Each table contains names that are associated with a nonhuman character race in the Playerâs Handbook or a real-world ethnic or language group, with a focus on groups from antiquity and the Middle Ages. You can select from the possibilities here, or use dice to determine a name.
Even though names are associated with races in this appendix, a character might not have a name from their own race. For instance, a half-orc might have grown up among dwarves and have a dwarven name. Or, as DM, you might decide that dragonborn in your campaign have a culture reminiscent of ancient Rome and therefore use Roman names, rather than the dragonborn names suggested here.

What they donât do is account for all the circumstances that shaped your character during the years between your birth and the start of your career as a member of a class.
What did your character accomplish or experience before deciding to become an adventurer? What were the circumstances of your birth? How large is your family, and what sorts of relationships do you have with your relatives? Which people were the greatest influences on you during your formative years, for better or worse?
To answer these questions and more, you can use the tables and the advice in this section to compose a well-developed backstory for your character â an autobiography of sorts â that you can use to inform how you roleplay the character. Your DM can draw from this material as the campaign proceeds, creating situations and scenarios that build off your previous life experiences.

Even though these pages are full of tables and die rolls, they donât make up a rules system â in fact, the opposite is true. You can use as much or as little of this material as you desire, and you can make decisions in any order you want.
For instance, you might not want these tables to help you decide who your parents and siblings are, because thatâs among the information youâve already come up with. But you can still use other parts, such as the section on life events, to provide added depth and detaz öRůil.
How and When to Use the Tables
If youâre comfortable with letting the dice decide a certain fact about your character, go ahead and roll. If not, you can take charge and make the decision, choosing from among the possibilities on a table. Of course, you also have the option of disregarding the result of a die roll if it conflicts with another result. Likewise, if the text instructs you to roll on a table, thatâs not meant to be taken literally. You can always make your own choice.
Although these tables are meant to augment the step-by-step character creation process in the Playerâs Handbook, they donât occupy a specific place in that process. You can use some of them early on â for instance, itâs possible to determine your parents and other family members immediately after deciding your characterâs race â but you could also wait until later in the process. You might prefer to establish more facts about your characterâs game identity â such as your class, ability scores, and alignment â before supplementing that information with whatâs offered here.
This material is divided into four sections, each addressing a different aspect of your characterâs backstory.
Origins. To find out who and where you came from, use the â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.p1U05BXKJkBpNAe9.JournalEntryPage.Dyy5f7VpID1XWXhD#Origins]{Origins}â section. When youâre done, you will have a summary of facts about your parents, your siblings, and the circumstances under which you grew up.
Personal Decisions. After you have selected your characterâs background and class, use the appropriate tables to determine how you came to make those choices.
Life Events. Your characterâs existence until now, no matter how brief or uneventful, has been marked by one or more life events â memorable happenings that have had an effect on who you are today.
Supplemental Tables. Your life has intersected with the lives of plenty of other people, all the way from your infancy to today. When a result mentions such a person, you can use the supplemental tables to add needed details â such as race, class, or occupation â to that person. Some tables in the other sections direct you to one or more of the supplemental tables, and you can also use them any other time you see fit.

Who were your parents? Where were you born? Did you have any siblings? Who raised you? You can address these questions by using the following tables.
You had parents, of course, even if they didnât raise you. To determine what you know about these people, use the Parents table. If you want, you can roll separately on the table for your mother and your father. Use the supplemental tables as desired (particularly Class, Occupation, and Alignment) to learn more about your parents.

After establishing your parentage, you can determine where you were born by using the Birthplace table. (Modify the result or roll again if you get a result thatâs inconsistent with what you know about your parents.) Once you have a result, roll percentile dice. On a roll of 00, a strange event coincided with your birth: the moon briefly turning red, all the milk within a mile spoiling, the water in the area freezing solid in midsummer, all the iron in the home rusting or turning to silver, or some other unusual event of your choice.

You might be an only child or one of many children. Your siblings could be cherished friends or hated rivals. Roll on the Number of Siblings table to determine how many brothers or sisters you have. If you are a dwarf or an elf, subtract 2 from your roll. Then, roll on the Birth Order table for each sibling to determine that personâs age relative to yours (older, younger, or born at the same time).
Occupation. For each sibling of suitable age, roll on the Occupation supplemental table to determine what that person does for a living.
Alignment. You can choose your siblingsâ alignments or roll on the Alignment supplemental table.
Status. By now, each of your siblings might be alive and well, alive and not so well, in dire straits, or dead. Roll on the Status supplemental table.
Relationship. You can roll on the Relationship supplemental table to determine how your siblings feel about you. They might all have the same attitude toward you, or some might view you differently from how the others do.
Other Details. You can decide any other details you like about each sibling, including gender, personality, and place in the world.

Family and Friends
Who raised you, and what was life like for you when you were growing up? You might have been raised by your parents, by relatives, or in an orphanage. Or you could have spent your childhood on the streets of a crowded city with only your fellow runaways and orphans to keep you company.
Use the Family table to determine who raised you. If you know who your parents are but you get a result that does not mention one or both of them, use the Absent Parent table to determine what happened.
Next, refer to the Family Lifestyle table to determine the general circumstances of your upbringing. (Chapter 5 of the Playerâs Handbook has more information about lifestyles.) The result on that table includes a number that is applied to your roll on the Childhood Home table, which tells you where you spent your early years. Wrap up this section by using the Childhood Memories table, which tells you how you were treated by other youngsters as you were growing up.
Supplemental Tables. You can roll on the Relationship table to determine how your family members or other important figures in your life feel about you. You can also use the Race, Occupation, and Alignment tables to learn more about the family members or guardians who raised you.

The older a character is, the greater the chance for multiple life events, as shown on the Life Events by Age table.

By using your creativity to stitch all these bits together into a continuous narrative, you can create a full-fledged autobiography for your character in as little as a few sentences â an excellent example of how the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Did you get a couple of results on the tables that donât outright contradict each other but also donât seem to fit together smoothly? If so, now is your chance to explain what happened to you. For instance, letâs say you were born in a castle, but your childhood home was in the wilderness. It could be that your parents traveled from their forest home to seek help from a midwife at the castle when your mother was close to giving birth. Or your parents might have been members of the castleâs staff before you were born, but they were released from service soon after you came into the world.
In addition to deepening your own roleplaying experience, your characterâs &Reference[his]{history} presents your DM with opportunities to weave those elements into the story of the campaign. Any way you look at it, adding definition to your characterâs pre-adventuring life is time well spent.

Although that pace works fine for many campaigns, some DMs prefer a campaign story with pauses built into it â times when adventurers are not going on adventures. The downtime rules given in this section can be used as alternatives to the approach in the Playerâs Handbook and the Dungeon Masterâs Guide, or you can use the material here to inspire the creation of your own options.
By engaging the characters in downtime activities that take weeks or even months to complete, you can give your campaign a longer time line â one in which events in the world play out over years. Wars begin and end, tyrants come and go, and royal lines rise and fall over the course of the story that you and the characters tell.
Downtime rules also provide ways for characters to spend â or be relieved of â the monetary treasure they amass on their adventures.
The system presented here consists of two elements. First, it introduces the concept of rivals. Second, it details a number of downtime activities that characters can undertake.
When minions come back from a mission, sometimes I send them shopping.
Shopping is this thing where minions give away their stuff to other people, and other people give them different stuff.

A rival might be a villain you have featured in past adventures or plan to use in the future. Rivals can also include good or neutral folk who are at odds with the characters, whether because they have opposing goals or they simply dislike one another. The cultist of Orcus whose plans the characters have foiled, the ambitious merchant prince who wants to rule the city with an iron fist, and the nosy high priest of Helm who is convinced the characters are up to no good are all examples of rivals.
A rivalâs agenda changes over time. Though the characters engage in downtime only between adventures, their rivals rarely rest, continuing to spin plots and work against the characters even when the characters are off doing something else.
Creating a Rival
In essence, a rival is a somewhat specialized NPC. You can use chapter 4 of the Dungeon Masterâs Guide to build a new NPC for this purpose, or pick one from your current cast of supporting characters and embellish that NPC as described below.
Itâs possible for the characters to have two or three rivals at a time, each with a separate agenda. At least one should be a villain, but the others might be neutral or good; conflicts with those rivals might be social or political, rather than manifesting as direct attacks.
The best rivals have a connection with their adversaries on a personal level. Find links in the charactersâ back-stories or the events of recent adventures that explain what sparked the rivalâs actions. The best trouble to put the characters in is trouble they created for themselves.
Example Rivals
| d20 | Rival |
| 1 | Tax collector who is convinced the characters are dodging fees |
| 2 | Politician who is concerned that the characters are causing more trouble than they solve |
| 3 | High priest who worries the characters are diminishing the templeâs prestige |
| 4 | Wizard who blames the characters for some recent troubles |
| 5 | Rival adventuring party |
| 6 | Bard who loves a scandal enough to spark one |
| 7 | Childhood rival or member of a rival clan |
| 8 | Scorned sibling or parent |
| 9 | Merchant who blames the characters for any business woes |
| 10 | Newcomer out to make a mark on the world |
| 11 | Sibling or ally of defeated enemy |
| 12 | Official seeking to restore a tarnished reputation |
| 13 | Deadly foe disguised as a social rival |
| 14 | Fiend seeking to tempt the characters to evil |
| 15 | Spurned romantic interest |
| 16 | Political opportunist seeking a scapegoat |
| 17 | Traitorous noble looking to foment a revolution |
| 18 | Would-be tyrant who brooks no opposition |
| 19 | Exiled noble looking for revenge |
| 20 | Corrupt official worried that recent misdeeds will be revealed |
@RollTable[Example Rivals]{Open RollTable}
To add the right amount of detail to a rival you want to create, give some thought to what that NPC is trying to accomplish and what resources and methods the rival can bring to bear against the characters.
Goals. An effective rival has a clear reason for interfering with the charactersâ lives. Think about what the rival wants, how and why the characters stand in the way, and how the conflict could be resolved. Ideally, a rivalâs goal directly involves the characters or something they care about.
Assets. Think about the resources the rival can marshal. Does the character have enough money to pay bribes or to hire a small gang of mercenaries? Does the rival hold sway over any guilds, temples, or other groups? Make a list of the rivalâs assets, and consider how they can be used.
Plans. The foundation of a rivalâs presence in the campaign is the actions the rival takes or the events that occur as a result of that characterâs goals. Each time you resolve one or more workweeks of downtime, pick one of the ways a rivalâs plans might be advanced and introduce it into play.
Think about how a rival might operate in order to bring specific plans to fruition, and jot down three or four kinds of actions the rival might undertake. Some of these might be versions of the downtime activities described later in this section, but these are more often efforts that are specific to the rival.
A rivalâs action might be a direct attack, such as an assassination attempt, that you play out during a session. Or it might be a background activity that you describe as altering the campaign in some way. For example, a rival who wants to increase the prestige of the temple of a war god might hold a festival with drink, food, and gladiatorial games. Even if the characters arenât directly involved, the event becomes the talk of the town.
Some elements of a rivalâs plans might involve events in the world that arenât under the rivalâs control. Whether such an event can be easily anticipated or not, the rivalâs plans might include contingencies for taking advantage of such happenings.
Example Rival: Marina Rodemus
The Rodemus clan was a small but powerful family of traders in the city, but years ago, they pulled up stakes and left town overnight. Marina Rodemus, the youngest child, has now returned to restore her familyâs prestige.
In truth, the family fled because its members became afflicted by lycanthropy. They joined a clan of wererats and delved into smuggling in a distant city, out of fear that their secret would be impossible to keep in their former home. After fighting her way to the top ranks of the wererat clans, Marina â along with a small army of followers â has returned to claim her place among the elite of her home city. She vows that if she doesnât succeed, sheâll leave the city in ruins.
Goals. Marina wants to become the most respected, most important merchant in town â someone to whom even the prince must yield.
Assets. Marina has a small fortune in gold; her abilities as a wererat, alchemist, and necromancer; a group of wererats dedicated to her; and a shield guardian that protects her.
Plans. Marina works to discredit and ruin other merchants. Her wererats spy on her opponents and sneak into warehouses, unleashing hordes of rats to spoil goods. Marina even victimizes a few of her own warehouses to avoid suspicion.
If Marinaâs plans fail, she has a terrible alternative. Her knowledge of alchemy has enabled her to create a plague that she will unleash on the city through her rats. If she canât rule, then no one will.
Marinaâs Plans
| Element | Description |
| Event | Rats become a noticeable problem in the streets, with swarms sighted in rundown neighborhoods. Folk demand that action be taken. |
| Action | Caravan raids by goblinoids become more common, and folk talk of gathering a militia. Marina contributes generously to the effort. |
| Action | Warehouses are overrun with rats, ruining thousands of gold pieces worth of goods. Marina blames the city for a lax effort in pest control. |
| Action | If the characters interfere, Marina sends her assassins against them. |
| Event | A sudden storm creates minor flooding, washing dozens of dead, bloated, diseased rats from the sewers. Terror over the plague rips through town. |
| Action | Marina fans the flames of panic, spreading rumors that the characters or other rivals in town are responsible for the disease. |
Example Rival: High Priest Cheldar
The temple of Pholtus, god of the sun, seeks to bring as many folk as possible under its sway. Though it has been in town for only two years, the temple is already an influential force because of the determination and the brilliant oration of Cheldar, its high priest.
Goals. Cheldar wants to make the temple of Pholtus the most popular &Reference[rel]{religion} in town by bringing about peace and security for all. He believes keeping adventurers in check or driving them out of town is an important step in that plan.
Assets. The charismatic high priest has his oratory skill, divine spellcasting ability, and a few hundred common folk recently converted to the templeâs cause.
Plans. Cheldar is stern but fundamentally a good person. He tries to win support by providing charity, promoting peace, and working to enforce law and order. He is skeptical of the characters, however, convinced that they are troublemakers who will undermine the peace. He wants only officials of the town or the temple to be involved in handling any crises that arise. He strongly believes in his goals, yet he might still be made into an ally by good-hearted characters.
Cheldarâs Plans
| Element | Description |
| Event | The grand festival of Pholtus fills the streets with somber worshipers, who maintain a day-long torchlit vigil. They offer food, drink, and shelter to all in the temple of Pholtus. |
| Action | Cheldar, along with a small group of followers, appears in a tavern frequented by adventurers and seeks converts. A few NPC adventurers join his cause. |
| Action | In a public address in the town square, Cheldar rails against the forces of chaos, laying blame for recent troubles on adventurers who are meddling in things best left alone. |
| Event | The characters find that all adventurers in town receive an icy reception at best. |
| Action | Cheldar demands that the city levy enormous taxes on adventurers, claiming that they must pay their fair share to keep the city safe. |

These tasks can include buying or creating magic items, pulling off crimes, and working at a job. A character selects a downtime activity from among those available and pays the cost of that activity in time and money. You, as DM, then follow the rules for the activity to resolve it, informing the player of the results and any complications that ensue.
Consider handling downtime away from the game table. For example, you could have the players pick their downtime activities at the end of a session, and then communicate about them by email or text, until you next see them in person.
Resolving Activities
The description of each activity tells you how to resolve it. Many activities require an ability check, so be sure to note the characterâs relevant ability modifiers. Follow the steps in the activity, and determine the results.
Most downtime activities require a workweek (5 days) to complete. Some activities require days, weeks (7 days), or months (30 days). A character must spend at least 8 hours of each day engaged in the downtime activity for that day to count toward the activityâs completion.
The days of an activity donât need to be consecutive; you can spread them over a longer period of time than is required for the activity. But that period of time should be no more than twice as long as the required time; otherwise you should introduce extra complications (see below) and possibly double the activityâs costs to represent the inefficiency of the characterâs progress.
Complications
The description of each activity includes a discussion of complications you can throw at the characters. The consequences of a complication might spawn entire adventures, introduce NPCs to &Reference[vex]{vex} the party, or give the characters headaches or advantages in any number of other ways.
Each of these sections has a table that offers possible complications. You can roll to determine a complication randomly, pick one from the table, or devise one of your own, and then share it with the player.

As DM, you have the final say on which activities are available to the characters. The activities you allow might depend on the &Reference[nat]{nature} of the area where the characters are located. For example, you might disallow the creation of magic items or decide that the characters are in a town that is too isolated from major markets for them to buy such items.
Buying a Magic Item
Purchasing a magic item requires time and money to seek out and contact people willing to sell items. Even then, there is no guarantee a seller will have the items a character desires.
Resources. Finding magic items to purchase requires at least one workweek of effort and 100 gp in expenses. Spending more time and money increases your chance of finding a high-quality item.
Resolution. A character seeking to buy a magic item makes a Charisma (&Reference[per]{Persuasion}) check to determine the quality of the seller found. The character gains a +1 bonus on the check for every workweek beyond the first that is spent seeking a seller and a +1 bonus for every additional 100 gp spent on the search, up to a maximum bonus of +10. The monetary cost includes a wealthy lifestyle, for a buyer must impress potential business partners.
As shown on the Buying Magic Items table, the total of the check dictates which table in the Dungeon Masterâs Guide to roll on to determine which items are on the market. Or you can roll for items from any table associated with a lower total on the Buying Magic Items table. As a further option to reflect the availability of items in your campaign, you can apply a -10 penalty for low magic campaigns or a +10 bonus for high magic campaigns. Furthermore, you can double magic item costs in low magic campaigns.
Using the Magic Item Price table, you then assign prices to the available items, based on their rarity. Halve the price of any consumable item, such as a potion or a scroll, when using the table to determine an asking price.
You have final say in determining which items are for sale and their final price, no matter what the tables say.
If the characters seek a specific magic item, first decide if itâs an item you want to allow in your game. If so, include the desired item among the items for sale on a check total of 10 or higher if the item is common, 15 or higher if it is uncommon, 20 or higher if it is rare, 25 or higher if it is very rare, and 30 or higher if it is legendary.
| Rarity | Asking Price* | Â |
| Common | (1d6 + 1) Ă 10 gp | Â |
| Uncommon | 1d6 Ă 100 gp | Â |
| Rare | 2d10 Ă 1,000 gp | Â |
| Very rare | (1d4 + 1) Ă 10,000 gp | Â |
| Legendary | 2d6 Ă 25,000 gp | Â |
*Halved for a consumable item like a potion or scroll
Complications. The magic item trade is fraught with peril. The large sums of money involved and the power offered by magic items attract thieves, con artists, and other villains. If you want to make things more interesting for the characters, roll on the Magic Item Purchase Complications table or invent your own complication.
| d12 | Complication |
| 1 | The item is a fake, planted by an enemy.* |
| 2 | The item is stolen by the partyâs enemies.* |
| 3 | The item is cursed by a god. |
| 4 | The itemâs original owner will kill to reclaim it; the partyâs enemies spread news of its sale.* |
| 5 | The item is at the center of a dark prophecy. |
| 6 | The seller is murdered before the sale.* |
| 7 | The seller is a devil looking to make a bargain. |
| 8 | The item is the key to freeing an evil entity. |
| 9 | A third party bids on the item, doubling its price.* |
| 10 | The item is an enslaved, intelligent entity. |
| 11 | The item is tied to a cult. |

Carousing
Carousing is a default downtime activity for many characters. Between adventures, who doesnât want to relax with a few drinks and a group of friends at a tavern?
Resources. Carousing covers a workweek of fine food, strong drink, and socializing. A character can attempt to carouse among lower-, middle-, or upper-class folk. A character can carouse with the lower class for 10 gp to cover expenses, or 50 gp for the middle class. Carousing with the upper class requires 250 gp for the workweek and access to the local nobility.
A character with the noble background can mingle with the upper class, but other characters can do so only if you judge that the character has made sufficient contacts. Alternatively, a character might use a disguise kit and the &Reference[dec]{Deception} skill to pass as a noble visiting from a distant city.
Resolution. After a workweek of carousing, a character stands to make contacts within the selected social class. The character makes a Charisma (&Reference[per]{Persuasion}) check using the Carousing table.
| Check Total | Result |
| 1-5 | Character has made a hostile contact. |
| 6-10 | Character has made no new contacts. |
| 11-15 | Character has made an allied contact. |
| 16-20 | Character has made two allied contacts. |
| 21+ | Character has made three allied contacts. |
Contacts are NPCs who now share a bond with the character. Each one either owes the character a favor or has some reason to bear a grudge. A hostile contact works against the character, placing obstacles but stopping short of committing a crime or a violent act. Allied contacts are friends who will render aid to the character, but not at the risk of their lives.
Lower-class contacts include criminals, laborers, mercenaries, the town guard, and any other folk who normally frequent the cheapest taverns in town.
Middle-class contacts include guild members, spellcasters, town officials, and other folk who frequent well-kept establishments.
Upper-class contacts are nobles and their personal servants. Carousing with such folk covers formal banquets, state dinners, and the like.
Once a contact has helped or hindered a character, the character needs to carouse again to get back into the NPCâs good graces. A contact provides help once, not help for life. The contact remains friendly, which can influence roleplaying and how the characters interact with them, but doesnât come with a guarantee of help.
You can assign specific NPCs as contacts. You might decide that the barkeep at the Wretched Gorgon and a guard stationed at the western gate are the characterâs allied contacts. Assigning specific NPCs gives the players concrete options. It brings the campaign to life and seeds the area with NPCs that the characters care about. On the other hand, it can prove difficult to track and might render a contact useless if that character doesnât come into play.
Alternatively, you can allow the player to make an NPC into a contact on the spot, after carousing. When the characters are in the area in which they caroused, a player can expend an allied contact and designate an NPC they meet as a contact, assuming the NPC is of the correct social class based on how the character caroused. The player should provide a reasonable explanation for this relationship and work it into the game.
Using a mix of the two approaches is a good idea, since it gives you the added depth of specific contacts while giving players the freedom to ensure that the contacts they accumulate are useful.
The same process can apply to hostile contacts. You can give the characters a specific NPC they should avoid, or you might introduce one at an inopportune or dramatic moment.
At any time, a character can have a maximum number of unspecified allied contacts equal to 1 + the characterâs Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). Specific, named contacts donât count toward this limit â only ones that can be used at any time to declare an NPC as a contact.
Complications. Characters who carouse risk bar brawls, accumulating a cloud of nasty rumors, and building a bad reputation around town. As a rule of thumb, a character has a 10 percent chance of triggering a complication for each workweek of carousing.

Crafting an Item
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/07-003.forge.png\")
A character who has the time, the money, and the needed tools can use downtime to craft armor, weapons, clothing, or other kinds of nonmagical gear.
Resources and Resolution. In addition to the appropriate tools for the item to be crafted, a character needs raw materials worth half of the itemâs selling cost. To determine how many workweeks it takes to create an item, divide its gold piece cost by 50. A character can complete multiple items in a workweek if the itemsâ combined cost is 50 gp or lower. Items that cost more than 50 gp can be completed over longer periods of time, as long as the work in progress is stored in a safe location.
Multiple characters can combine their efforts. Divide the time needed to create an item by the number of characters working on it. Use your judgment when determining how many characters can collaborate on an item. A particularly tiny item, like a ring, might allow only one or two workers, whereas a large, complex item might allow four or more workers.
A character needs to be proficient with the tools needed to craft an item and have access to the appropriate equipment. Everyone who collaborates needs to have the appropriate tool proficiency. You need to make any judgment calls regarding whether a character has the correct equipment. The following table provides some examples.
| Proficiency | Items |
| Herbalism kit | Antitoxin, @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-items.ZIoKnuWZDENGjrOm]{potion of healing} |
| Leatherworkerâs tools | Leather armor, boots |
| Smithâs tools | Armor, weapons |
| Weaverâs tools | Cloaks, robes |
If all the above requirements are met, the result of the process is an item of the desired sort. A character can sell an item crafted in this way at its listed price.
Crafting Magic Items. Creating a magic item requires more than just time, effort, and materials. It is a long-term process that involves one or more adventures to track down rare materials and the lore needed to create the item.
Potions of healing and spell scrolls are exceptions to the following rules. For more information, see âBrewing Potions of Healingâ later in this section and the â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.qLjmmK8BzJrxb4js.JournalEntryPage.BYmXvYjRJfYmAZI4#ScribingaSpellScroll]{Scribing a Spell Scroll}â section, below.
To start with, a character needs a formula for a magic item in order to create it. The formula is like a recipe. It lists the materials needed and steps required to make the item.
An item invariably requires an exotic material to complete it. This material can range from the skin of a yeti to a vial of water taken from a whirlpool on the Elemental Plane of Water. Finding that material should take place as part of an adventure.
The Magic Item Ingredients table suggests the challenge rating of a creature that the characters need to face to acquire the materials for an item. Note that facing a creature does not necessarily mean that the characters must collect items from its corpse. Rather, the creature might guard a location or a resource that the characters need access to.
| Item Rarity | CR Range |
| Common | 1-3 |
| Uncommon | 4-8 |
| Rare | 9-12 |
| Very rare | 13-18 |
| Legendary | 19+ |
If appropriate, pick a monster or a location that is a thematic fit for the item to be crafted. For example, creating marinerâs armor might require the essence of a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbWatWei5195262]{water weird}. Crafting a staff of charming might require the cooperation of a specific @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbArcana5194899]{arcanaloth}, who will help only if the characters complete a task for it. Making a staff of power might hinge on acquiring a piece of an ancient stone that was once touched by the god of magic â a stone now guarded by a suspicious @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbSpOfVa5195213]{androsphinx}.
In addition to facing a specific creature, creating an item comes with a gold piece cost covering other materials, tools, and so on, based on the itemâs rarity. Those values, as well as the time a character needs to work in order to complete the item, are shown on the Magic Item Crafting Time and Cost table. Halve the listed price and creation time for any consumable items.
Magic Item Crafting Time and Cost
| Item Rarity | Workweeks* | Cost* |
| Common | 1 | 50 gp |
| Uncommon | 2 | 200 gp |
| Rare | 10 | 2,000 gp |
| Very rare | 25 | 20,000 gp |
| Legendary | 50 | 100,000 gp |
*Halved for a consumable item like a potion or scroll
To complete a magic item, a character also needs whatever tool proficiency is appropriate, as for crafting a nonmagical object, or proficiency in the &Reference[arc]{Arcana} skill.
If all the above requirements are met, the result of the process is a magic item of the desired sort.
Complications. Most of the complications involved in creating something, especially a magic item, are linked to the difficulty in finding rare ingredients or components needed to complete the work. The complications a character might face as byproducts of the creation process are most interesting when the characters are working on a magic item: thereâs a 10 percent chance for every five workweeks spent on crafting an item that a complication occurs. The Crafting Complications table provides examples of what might happen.
| d6 | Complication |
| 1 | Rumors swirl that what youâre working on is unstable and a threat to the community.* |
| 2 | Your tools are stolen, forcing you to buy new ones.* |
| 3 | A local wizard shows keen interest in your work and insists on observing you. |
| 4 | A powerful noble offers a hefty price for your work and is not interested in hearing no for an answer.* |
| 5 | A dwarf clan accuses you of stealing its secret lore to fuel your work.* |
| 6 | A competitor spreads rumors that your work is shoddy and prone to failure.* |

Brewing Potions of Healing. Potions of healing fall into a special category for item crafting, separate from other magic items. A character who has proficiency with the herbalism kit can create these potions. The times and costs for doing so are summarized on the Potion of Healing Creation table.
| Type | Time | Cost |
| Healing | 1 day | 25 gp |
| Greater healing | 1 workweek | 100 gp |
| Superior healing | 3 workweeks | 1,000 gp |
| Supreme healing | 4 workweeks | 10,000 gp |
Crime
Sometimes it pays to be bad. This activity gives a character the chance to make some extra cash, at the risk of arrest.
Resources. A character must spend one week and at least 25 gp gathering information on potential targets before committing the intended crime.
Resolution. The character must make a series of checks, with the DC for all the checks chosen by the character according to the amount of profit sought from the crime.
The chosen DC can be 10, 15, 20, or 25. Successful completion of the crime yields a number of gold pieces, as shown on the Loot Value table.
To attempt a crime, the character makes three checks: Dexterity (&Reference[ste]{Stealth}), Dexterity using thievesâ tools, and the playerâs choice of Intelligence (&Reference[inv]{Investigation}), Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}), or Charisma (&Reference[dec]{Deception}).
If none of the checks are successful, the character is caught and jailed. The character must pay a fine equal to the profit the crime would have earned and must spend one week in jail for each 25 gp of the fine.
If only one check is successful, the heist fails but the character escapes.
If two checks are successful, the heist is a partial success, netting the character half the payout.
If all three checks are successful, the character earns the full value of the loot.
| DC | Value |
| 10 | 50 gp, robbery of a struggling merchant |
| 15 | 100 gp, robbery of a prosperous merchant |
| 20 | 200 gp, robbery of a noble |
| 25 | 1,000 gp, robbery of one of the richest figures in town |
Complications. A life of crime is filled with complications. Roll on the Crime Complications table (or create a complication of your own) if the character succeeds on only one check. If the characterâs rival is involved in crime or law enforcement, a complication ensues if the character succeeds on only two checks.
| d8 | Complication |
| 1 | A bounty equal to your earnings is offered for information about your crime.* |
| 2 | An Ž> ůunknown person contacts you, threatening to reveal your crime if you donât render a service.* |
| 3 | Your victim is financially ruined by your crime. |
| 4 | Someone who knows of your crime has been arrested on an unrelated matter.* |
| 5 | Your loot is a single, easily identified item that you canât fence in this region. |
| 6 | You robbed someone who was under a local crime lordâs protection, and who now wants revenge. |
| 7 | Your victim calls in a favor from a guard, doubling the efforts to solve the case. |
| 8 | Your victim asks one of your adventuring companions to solve the crime. |

Gambling
Games of chance are a way to make a fortune â and perhaps a better way to lose one.
Resources. This activity requires one workweek of effort plus a stake of at least 10 gp, to a maximum of 1,000 gp or more, as you see fit.
Resolution. The character must make a series of checks, with a DC determined at random based on the quality of the competition that the character runs into. Part of the risk of gambling is that one never knows who might end up sitting across the table.
The character makes three checks: Wisdom (&Reference[ins]{Insight}), Charisma (&Reference[dec]{Deception}), and Charisma (&Reference[itm]{Intimidation}). If the character has proficiency with an appropriate gaming &Reference[set]{set}, that tool proficiency can replace the relevant skill in any of the checks. The DC for each of the checks is 5 + 2d10; generate a separate DC for each one. Consult the Gambling Results table to see how the character did.
| Result | Value |
| 0 successes | Lose all the money you bet, and accrue a debt equal to that amount. |
| 1 success | Lose half the money you bet. |
| 2 successes | Gain the amount you bet plus half again more. |
| 3 successes | Gain double the amount you bet. |
Complications. Gambling tends to attract unsavory individuals. The potential complications involved come from run-ins with the law and associations with various criminals tied to the activity. Every workweek spent gambling brings a 10 percent chance of a complication, examples of which are on the Gambling Complications table.
| d6 | Complication |
| 1 | You are accused of cheating. You decide whether you actually did cheat or were framed.* |
| 2 | The town guards raid the gambling hall and throw you in jail.* |

| 4 | You won a sum from a low-ranking member of a thievesâ guild, and the guild wants its money back. |
| 5 | A local crime boss insists you start frequenting the bossâs gambling parlor and no others. |
| 6 | A high-stakes gambler comes to town and insists that you take part in a game. |

Pit Fighting
Pit fighting includes boxing, wrestling, and other nonlethal forms of combat in an organized setting with predetermined matches. If you want to introduce competitive fighting in a battle-to-the-death situation, the standard combat rules apply to that sort of activity.
Resources. Engaging in this activity requires one workweek of effort from a character.
Resolution. The character must make a series of checks, with a DC determined at random based on the quality of the opposition that the character runs into. A big part of the challenge in pit fighting lies in the unknown &Reference[nat]{nature} of a characterâs opponents.
The character makes three checks: Strength (&Reference[ath]{Athletics}), Dexterity (&Reference[acr]{Acrobatics}), and a special [[/check con format=long]] that has a bonus equal to a roll of the characterâs largest Hit Die (this roll doesnât spend that die). If desired, the character can replace one of these skill checks with an attack roll using one of the characterâs weapons. The DC for each of the checks is 5 + 2d10; generate a separate DC for each one. Consult the Pit Fighting Results table to see how the character did.
| Result | Value |
| 0 successes | Lose your bouts, earning nothing. |
| 1 success | Win 50 gp. |
| 2 successes | Win 100 gp. |
| 3 successes | Win 200 gp. |
Complications. Characters involved in pit fighting must deal with their opponents, the people who bet on matches, and the matchesâ promoters. Every workweek spent pit fighting brings a 10 percent chance of a complication, examples of which are on the Pit Fighting Complications table.
| d6 | Complication |
| 1 | An opponent swears to take revenge on you.* |
| 2 | A crime boss approaches you and offers to pay you to intentionally lose a few matches.* |

Relaxation
Sometimes the best thing to do between adventures is relax. Whether a character wants a hard-earned vacation or needs to recover from injuries, relaxation is the ideal option for adventurers who need a break. This option is also ideal for players who donât want to make use of the downtime system.
Resources. Relaxation requires one week. A character needs to maintain at least a modest lifestyle while relaxing to gain the benefit of the activity.
Resolution. Characters who maintain at least a modest lifestyle while relaxing gain several benefits. While relaxing, a character gains advantage on saving throws to recover from long-acting diseases and poisons. In addition, at the end of the week, a character can end one effect that keeps the character from regaining hit points, or can restore one ability score that has been reduced to less than its normal value. This benefit cannot be used if the harmful effect was caused by a spell or some other magical effect with an ongoing duration.
Complications. Relaxation rarely comes with complications. If you want to make life complicated for the characters, introduce an action or an event connected to a rival.
Religious Service
Characters with a religious bent might want to spend downtime in service to a temple, either by attending rites or by proselytizing in the community. Someone who undertakes this activity has a chance of winning the favor of the templeâs leaders.
Resources. Performing religious service requires access to, and often attendance at, a temple whose beliefs and ethos align with the characterâs. If such a place is available, the activity takes one workweek of time but involves no gold piece expenditure.
Resolution. At the end of the required time, the character chooses to make either an Intelligence (&Reference[rel]{Religion}) check or a Charisma (&Reference[per]{Persuasion}) check. The total of the check determines the benefits of service, as shown on the Religious Service table.
| Check Total | Result |
| 1-10 | No effect. Your efforts fail to make a lasting impression. |
| 11-20 | You earn one favor. |
| 21+ | You earn two favors. |
A favor, in broad terms, is a promise of future assistance from a representative of the temple. It can be expended to ask the temple for help in dealing with a specific problem, for general political or social support, or to reduce the cost of cleric spellcasting by 50 percent. A favor could also take the form of a deityâs intervention, such as an omen, a vision, or a minor miracle provided at a key moment. This latter sort of favor is expended by the DM, who also determines its &Reference[nat]{nature}.
Favors earned need not be expended immediately, but only a certain number can be stored up. A character can have a maximum number of unused favors equal to 1 + the characterâs Charisma modifier (minimum of one unused favor).
Complications. Temples can be labyrinths of political and social scheming. Even the best-intentioned sect can fall prone to rivalries. A character who serves a temple risks becoming embroiled in such struggles. Every workweek spent in religious service brings a 10 percent chance of a complication, examples of which are on the Religious Service Complications table.
| d6 | Complication |
| 1 | You have offended a priest through your words or actions.* |
| 2 | Blasphemy is still blasphemy, even if you did it by accident. |
| 3 | A secret sect in the temple offers you membership. |
| 4 | Another temple tries to recruit you as a spy.* |
| 5 | The temple elders implore you to take up a holy quest. |
| 6 | You accidentally discover that an important person in the temple is a fiend worshiper. |

Research
Forewarned is forearmed. The research downtime activity allows a character to delve into lore concerning a monster, a location, a magic item, or some other particular topic.
Resources. Typically, a character needs access to a library or a sage to conduct research. Assuming such access is available, conducting research requires one workweek of effort and at least 50 gp spent on materials, bribes, gifts, and other expenses.
Resolution. The character declares the focus of the research â a specific person, place, or thing. After one workweek, the character makes an [[/check int format=long]] with a +1 bonus per 50 gp spent beyond the initial 50 gp, to a maximum of +6. In addition, a character who has access to a particularly well-stocked library or knowledgeable sages gains advantage on this check. Determine how much lore a character learns using the Research Outcomes table.
| Check Total | Outcome |
| 1-5 | No effect. |
| 6-10 | You learn one piece of lore. |
| 11-20 | You learn two pieces of lore. |
| 21+ | You learn three pieces of lore. |
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/07-004.lore.png\")
Each piece of lore is the equivalent of one true statement about a person, place, or thing. Examples include knowledge of a creatureâs resistances, the password needed to enter a sealed dungeon level, the spells commonly prepared by an order of wizards, and so on.
As DM, you are the final arbiter concerning exactly what a character learns. For a monster or an NPC, you can reveal elements of statistics or personality. For a location, you can reveal secrets about it, such as a hidden entrance, the answer to a riddle, or the &Reference[nat]{nature} of a creature that guards the place.
Complications. The greatest risk in research is uncovering false information. Not all lore is accurate or truthful, and a rival with a scholarly bent might try to lead the character astray, especially if the object of the research is known to the rival. The rival might plant false information, bribe sages to give bad advice, or steal key tomes needed to find the truth.
In addition, a character might run into other complications during research. Every workweek spent in research brings a 10 percent chance of a complication, examples of which are on the Research Complications table.
| d6 | Complication |
| 1 | You accidentally damage a rare book. |
| 2 | You offend a sage, who demands an extravagant gift.* |
| 3 | If you had known that book was cursed, you never would have opened it. |
| 4 | A sage becomes obsessed with convincing you of a number of strange theories about reality.* |
| 5 | Your actions cause you to be banned from a library until you make reparations.* |
| 6 | You uncovered useful lore, but only by promising to complete a dangerous task in return. |

With time and patience, a spellcaster can transfer a spell to a scroll, creating a spell scroll.
Resources. Scribing a spell scroll takes an amount of time and money related to the level of the spell the character wants to scribe, as shown in the Spell Scroll Costs table. In addition, the character must have proficiency in the &Reference[arc]{Arcana} skill and must provide any material components required for the casting of the spell. Moreover, the character must have the spell prepared, or it must be among the characterâs known spells, in order to scribe a scroll of that spell.
If the scribed spell is a cantrip, the version on the scroll works as if the caster were 1st level.
| Spell Level | Time | Cost |
| Cantrip | 1 day | 15 gp |
| 1st | 1 day | 25 gp |
| 2nd | 3 days | 250 gp |
| 3rd | 1 workweek | 500 gp |
| 4th | 2 workweeks | 2,500 gp |
| 5th | 4 workweeks | 5,000 gp |
| 6th | 8 workweeks | 15,000 gp |
| 7th | 16 workweeks | 25,000 gp |
| 8th | 32 workweeks | 50,000 gp |
| 9th | 48 workweeks | 250,000 gp |
Complications. Crafting a spell scroll is a solitary task, unlikely to attract much attention. The complications that arise are more likely to involve the preparation needed for the activity. Every workweek spent scribing brings a 10 percent chance of a complication, examples of which are on the Scribe a Scroll Complications table.
| d6 | Complication |
| 1 | You bought up the last of the rare ink used to craft scrolls, angering a wizard in town. |
| 2 | The priest of a temple of good accuses you of trafficking in dark magic.* |
| 3 | A wizard eager to collect one of your spells in a book presses you to sell the scroll. |
| 4 | Due to a strange error in creating the scroll, it is instead a random spell of the same level. |
| 5 | The rare parchment you bought for your scroll has a barely visible map on it. |
| 6 | A thief attempts to break into your workroom.* |

Selling a Magic Item
Selling a magic item is by no means an easy task. Con artists and thieves are always looking out for an easy score, and thereâs no guarantee that a character will receive a good offer even if a legitimate buyer is found.
Resources. A character can find a buyer for one magic item by spending one workweek and 25 gp, which is used to spread word of the desired sale. A character must pick one item at a time to sell.
Resolution. A character who wants to sell an item must make a Charisma (&Reference[per]{Persuasion}) check to determine what kind of offer comes in. The character can always opt not to sell, instead forfeiting the workweek of effort and trying again later. Use the Magic Item Base Prices and Magic Item Offer tables to determine the sale price.
| Rarity | Base Price* |
| Common | 100 gp |
| Uncommon | 400 gp |
| Rare | 4,000 gp |
| Very rare | 40,000 gp |
| Legendary | 200,000 gp |
*Halved for a consumable item like a potion or scroll
| Check Total | Offer |
| 1-10 | 50% of base price |
| 11-20 | 100% of base price |
| 21+ | 150% of base price |
Complications. The main risk in selling a magic item lies in attracting thieves and anyone else who wants the item but doesnât want to pay for it. Other folk might try to undermine a deal in order to bolster their own business or seek to discredit the character as a legitimate seller. Every workweek spent trying to sell an item brings a 10 percent chance of a complication, examples of which are on the Magic Item Sale Complications table.
| d6 | Complication |
| 1 | Your enemy secretly arranges to buy the item to use it against you.* |
| 2 | A thievesâ guild, alerted to the sale, attempts to steal your item.* |

Training
Given enough free time and the services of an instructor, a character can learn a language or pick up proficiency with a tool.
Resources. Receiving training in a language or tool typically takes at least ten workweeks, but this time is reduced by a number of workweeks equal to the characterâs Intelligence modifier (an Intelligence penalty doesnât increase the time needed). Training costs 25 gp per workweek.
Complications. Complications that arise while training typically involve the teacher. Every ten workweeks spent in training brings a 10 percent chance of a complication, examples of which are on the Training Complications table.

Work
When all else fails, an adventurer can turn to an honest trade to earn a living. This activity represents a characterâs attempt to find temporary work, the quality and wages of which are difficult to predict.
Resources. Performing a job requires one workweek of effort.
Resolution. To determine how much money a character earns, the character makes an ability check: Strength (&Reference[ath]{Athletics}), Dexterity (&Reference[acr]{Acrobatics}), Intelligence using a &Reference[set]{set} of tools, Charisma (&Reference[prf]{Performance}), or Charisma using a musical instrument. Consult the Wages table to see how much money is generated according to the total of the check.
| Check Total | Earnings |
| 9 or lower | Poor lifestyle for the week |
| 10-14 | Modest lifestyle for the week |
| 15-20 | Comfortable lifestyle for the week |
| 21+ | Comfortable lifestyle for the week + 25 gp |
Complications. Ordinary work is rarely filled with significant complications. Still, the Work Complications table can add some difficulties to a workerâs life. Each workweek of activity brings a 10 percent chance that a character encounters a complication.

Elements of a Simple Trap
The description of a simple trap begins with a line that gives the trapâs level and the severity of the threat it poses. Following a general note on what the trap looks like and how it functions are three paragraphs that tell how the trap works in the game.
Level and Threat. A trapâs level is actually a range of levels, equivalent to one of the tiers of play (levels 1-4, 5-10, 11-16, and 17-20), indicating the appropriate time to use the trap in your campaign. Additionally, each trap poses either a moderate, dangerous, or deadly threat, based on its particular details.
Trigger. A simple trap activates when an event occurs that triggers it. This entry in a trapâs description gives the location of the trigger and the activity that causes the trap to activate.
Effect. A trapâs effect occurs after it activates. The trap might fire a dart, unleash a cloud of poison gas, cause a hidden enclosure to open, and so on. This entry specifies what the trap targets, its attack bonus or saving throw DC, and what happens on a hit or a failed saving throw.
Countermeasures. Traps can be detected or defeated in a variety of ways by using ability checks or magic. This entry in a trapâs description gives the means for counteracting the trap. It also specifies what happens, if anything, on a failed attempt to disable it.

MAKING TRAPS MEANINGFUL
If you want to improve the chance that the characters will come up against the traps youâve &Reference[set]{set} for them in an encounter or an adventure, it can be tempting to use a large number of traps. Doing so ensures that the characters will have to deal with at least one or two of them, but itâs better to fight that urge.Â
If your encounters or adventures are sown with too many traps, and if the characters are victimized over and over again as a result, they are likely to take steps to prevent further bad things from happening. Because of their recent experience, the characters can become overly cautious, and you run the risk of the action grinding to a halt as the players search every square inch of the dungeon for trip wires and pressure plates.Â
Traps are most effective when their presence comes as a surprise, not when they appear so often that the characters spend all their effort watching out for the next one.
Running a Simple Trap
To prepare for using a simple trap in play, start by making note of the charactersâ passive Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) scores. Most traps allow Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) checks to detect their triggers or other elements that can tip off their presence. If you stop to ask players for this information, they might suspect a hidden danger.
When a trap is triggered, apply its effects as specified in its description.
If the characters discover a trap, be open to adjudicating their ideas for defeating it. The trapâs description is a starting point for countermeasures, rather than a complete definition.
To make it easier for you to describe what happens next, the players should be specific about how they want to defeat the trap. Simply stating the desire to make a check isnât helpful for you. Ask the players where their characters are positioned and what they intend to do to defeat the trap.

![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/06-002.simple-traps.png\")
Bear Trap
Simple trap (level 1-4, dangerous threat)
A bear trap resembles a &Reference[set]{set} of iron jaws that springs shut when stepped on, clamping down on a creatureâs leg. The trap is spiked in the ground, leaving the victim immobilized.
Trigger. A creature that steps on the bear trap triggers it.
Effect. The trap makes an attack against the triggering creature. The attack has a +8 attack bonus and deals [[/damage 1d10 piercing average=true]] damage on a hit. This attack canât gain advantage or disadvantage. A creature hit by the trap has its speed reduced to 0. It canât move until it breaks free of the trap, which requires a successful [[/check str 15 format=long]] by the creature or another creature adjacent to the trap.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 10 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check reveals the trap. A successful [[/check dex 10 format=long]] using thievesâ tools disables it.
Crossbow Trap
Simple trap (level 1-4, dangerous threat)
The crossbow trap is a favorite of kobolds and other creatures that rely on traps to defend their lairs. It consists of a trip wire strung across a hallway and connected to a pair of hidden heavy crossbows. The crossbows are aimed to fire down the hallway at anyone who disturbs the trip wire.
Trigger. A creature that walks through the trip wire triggers the trap.
Effect. The trap makes two attacks against the triggering creature. Each attack has a +8 attack bonus and deals [[/damage 1d10 piercing average=true]] damage on a hit. This attack canât gain advantage or disadvantage.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 15 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check reveals the trip wire. A successful [[/check dex 15 format=long]] using thievesâ tools disables the trip wire, and a check with a total of 5 or lower triggers the trap.
Falling Portcullis
Simple trap (level 1-4, moderate threat)
Some folk who build dungeons, such as mad wizards in search of new victims, have no intention of allowing their visitors to make an easy escape. A falling portcullis trap can be especially devious if it causes a portcullis to drop some distance away from the pressure plate that activates the trap. Although the trap is deep in the dungeon, the portcullis closes off the dungeon entrance, which is hundreds of feet away, meaning that adventurers donât know they are trapped until they decide to head for the exit.
Trigger. A creature that steps on the pressure plate triggers the trap.
Effect. An iron portcullis drops from the ceiling, blocking an exit or a passageway.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 20 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check reveals the pressure plate. A successful [[/check dex 20 format=long]] using thievesâ tools disables it, and a check with a total of 5 or lower triggers the trap.
Fiery Blast
Simple trap (level 5-10, dangerous threat)
The temple of Pyremius, a god of fire, is threatened by thieves who seek to steal the fire opals displayed there by the priests in tribute to their god. A mosaic on the floor of the entryway to the inner sanctum delivers a fiery rebuke to intruders.
Trigger. Anyone who steps on the mosaic causes fire to erupt from it. Those who openly wear holy symbols of Pyremius donât trigger this trap.
Effect. A 15-foot cube of fire erupts, covering the pressure plate and the area around it. Each creature in the area must make a [[/save dex 15 format=long]], taking [[/damage 7d6 fire average=true]] damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 15 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check reveals the presence of ash and faint burn marks in the area affected by this trap. A successful DC 15 Intelligence (&Reference[rel]{Religion}) check enables a creature to destroy the trap by defacing a key rune on the perimeter of the mosaic that is within reach; failing this check causes the trap to activate. A successful @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DispelMagic14III]{dispel magic} (DC 15) cast on the runes destroys the trap.
Net Trap
Simple trap (level 1-4, dangerous threat)
Goblins, with their propensity to enslave their enemies, prefer traps that leave intruders intact so the victims can be put to work in the mines or elsewhere.
Trigger. A trip wire strung across a hallway is rigged to a large net. If the trip wire is broken, the net falls on intruders. An iron bell is also rigged to the trip wire. It rings when the trap activates, alerting nearby guards.
Effect. A net covering a 10-foot-by-10-foot area centered on the trip wire falls to the floor as a bell rings. Any creature fully within this area must succeed on a [[/save dex 15 format=long]] or be restrained. A creature can use its action to make a [[/check str 10 format=long]] to try to free itself or another creature in the net. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10, 20 hp) also frees a creature without harming the creature.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 15 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check reveals the trip wire and the net. A successful [[/check dex 15 format=long]] using thievesâ tools disables the trip wire without causing the net to drop or the bell to ring; failing the check causes the trap to activate.
Pit Trap
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/06-003.pit-trap.png\")
Simple trap (level 1-4, moderate threat)
The simplest of pit traps consists of a 10-foot-deep hole in the floor, concealed by tattered canvas thatâs covered with leaves and dirt to look like solid ground. This type of trap is useful for blocking off the entrance to a monster lair, and usually has narrow ledges along its sides to allow for movement around it.
Trigger. Anyone who steps on the canvas might fall into the pit.
Effect. The triggering creature must make a [[/save dex 10 format=long]]. On a successful save, the creature catches itself on the pitâs edge or instinctively steps back. On a failed save, the creature falls into the pit and takes [[/damage 1d6 bludgeoning average=true]] damage from the fall.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 10 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check reveals the presence of the canvas and the 1-foot-wide ledge around the edges of the pit where it is safe to travel.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/06-004.eyesymbol.png\")
Pit traps are hilarious!
Because when one of you walking
things steps on one, you fall down!
And you get hurt! Thatâs the best part.
Poison Needle
Simple trap (level 1-4, deadly threat)
A tiny, poisoned needle hidden in a lock is a good way to discourage thieves from plundering a hoard. Such a trap is usually put in a chest or in the door to a treasure chamber.
Trigger. Anyone attempting to pick or open the lock triggers the trap.
Effect. The triggering creature must make a [[/save con 20 format=long]]. On a failed save, the creature takes [[/damage 4d6 poison average=true]] damage and is poisoned for 10 minutes. While poisoned in this way, the creature is paralyzed. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isnât poisoned.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 20 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check reveals the needle, but only if a character inspects the lock. A successful [[/check dex 20 format=long]] using thievesâ tools disables the needle, and a check with a total of 10 or lower triggers the trap.
Scything Blade
Simple trap (level 5-10, dangerous threat)
This trap uses moving blades that sweep down through a chamber, threatening anyone nearby. Typically, a scything blade trap is activated by manipulating a lever or some other simple device. Kobolds especially like this kind of trap, since it can take down bigger creatures.
Trigger. When the lever is pulled, the trap activates.
Effect. Each Medium or larger creature in a 5-foot-wide, 20-foot-long area must make a [[/save dex 15 format=long]], taking [[/damage 4d6 slashing average=true]] damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Countermeasures. The lever isnât hidden. A successful DC 15 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check involving the surfaces in the trapâs area of effect reveals scrape marks and bloodstains on the walls and floor. A successful [[/check dex 15 format=long]] using thievesâ tools disables the lever.
Sleep of Ages
Simple trap (level 11-16, deadly threat)
When a sleep of ages trap activates, a pressure plate unleashes a spell that threatens to send intruders into a deep slumber. The dungeonâs guardians can then more easily dispose of the sleepers.
Trigger. Stepping on the pressure plate triggers this trap.
Effect. When activated, this trap casts a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Sleep14IIIIIIIII]{sleep} spell centered on the pressure plate, using a 9th-level spell slot.
Countermeasures. A successful DC 20 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check reveals the pressure plate. A successful DC 20 Intelligence (&Reference[arc]{Arcana}) check made within 5 feet of the pressure plate disables the trap, and a check with a total of 10 or lower triggers it. A successful @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DispelMagic14III]{dispel magic} (DC 19) cast on the pressure plate destroys the trap.

You can also adapt the example traps for different levels and severity of threat by modifying their DCs and damage values as shown below.
Purpose
Before diving into the details of your trap, think about its reason for being. Why would someone build such a trap? What is its purpose? Consider the trapâs creator (in the adventure), the creatorâs purpose, and the location the trap protects. Traps have context in the world â they arenât created for no reason â and that context drives the trapâs &Reference[nat]{nature} and effects.
Described below are a few of the general purposes a trap might have. Use them to inspire the creation of your own traps.
Alarm. An alarm trap is designed to alert an areaâs occupants of intruders. It might cause a bell or a gong to sound. This type of trap rarely involves a saving throw, because the alarm canât be avoided when the trap goes off.
Delay. Some traps are designed to &Reference[slow]{slow} down enemies, giving a dungeonâs inhabitants time to mount a defense or flee. The hidden pit is a classic example of this kind of trap. A 10-foot-deep pit usually deals little damage and is easy to escape, but it serves its purpose by impeding intruders. Other examples of delaying traps include collapsing walls, a portcullis that drops from the ceiling, and a locking mechanism that shuts and bars a door. If a delaying trap has moving parts that directly threaten characters when they operate, the characters are usually required to make Dexterity saving throws to avoid harm.
Restrain. A restraining trap tries to keep its victims in place, leaving them unable to move. Such traps are often employed in conjunction with regular guard patrols, so that victims are periodically extricated and taken away to be dealt with. But in an ancient dungeon, the guards might be long gone.
Restraining traps usually require a successful [[/save str format=long]] to be avoided, but some donât allow saving throws. In addition to dealing damage, a restraining trap also renders a creature unable to move. Making a subsequent successful [[/check str format=long]] (using the trapâs saving throw DC) or dealing damage against the trap can break it and free the captive. Examples include a bear trap, a cage that drops from a ceiling, and a device that flings a net.
Slay. Some traps are designed to eliminate intruders, plain and simple. Their effects include poisoned needles that spring out when a lock is tampered with, blasts of fire that fill a room, poison gas, and other lethal measures. Saving throws â usually Dexterity or Constitution â allow creatures to avoid or mitigate the trapâs effects.
Level and Lethality
Before creating a trapâs effects, think about its level and its lethality.
Traps are divided into four level ranges: 1-4, 5-10, 11-16, and 17-20. The level you choose for a trap gives you a starting point for determining its potency.
To further delineate the trapâs strength, decide whether it is a moderate, dangerous, or deadly threat to characters in its level range. A moderate trap is unlikely to kill a character. A dangerous trap typically deals enough damage that a character hit by one is eager for healing. A deadly trap might reduce a creature to 0 hit points in one shot, and leaves most creatures hit by it in need of a short or long rest.
Consult the following tables when determining a trapâs effects. The Trap Save DCs and Attack Bonuses table provides guidelines for a trapâs saving throw DC, check DC, and attack bonus. The check DC is the default for any check used to interact with the trap.
The Damage Severity by Level table lists the typical damage a trap deals at certain character levels. The damage values given assume that the trap damages one creature. Use d6s for damage in place of d10s for traps that can affect more than one creature at a time.
The Spell Equivalent by Level table shows the spell slot level that is appropriate for a given character level and the severity of danger posed by the trap. A spell is a great foundation to use as the design of a trap, whether the trap duplicates the spell (a mirror that casts @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.CharmPerson14III]{charm person} on whoever looks into it) or uses its effects (an alchemical device that explodes like a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Fireball14IIIIII]{fireball}).
The Deadly entry for characters of 17th level or higher suggests combining a 9th-level and a 5th-level spell into one effect. In this case, pick two spells, or combine the effects of a spell cast using a 9th-level and a 5th-level slot. For instance, a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Fireball14IIIIII]{fireball} spell of this sort would deal 24d6 fire damage on a failed saving throw.

| 17-20 | 6th | 9th | 9th + 5th |
Triggers
A trigger is the circumstance that needs to take place to activate the trap.
Decide what causes the trap to activate and determine how the characters can find the trigger. Here are some example triggers:
- A pressure plate that, when it is stepped on, activates the trap
- A trip wire that springs a trap when it is broken, usually when someone walks through it
- A doorknob that activates a trap when it is turned the wrong way
A trigger usually needs to be hidden to be effective. Otherwise, avoiding the trap is usually easy.
A trigger requires a Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check if simply spotting it reveals its &Reference[nat]{nature}. The characters can foil a pit trap hidden by a leaf-covered net if they spot the pit through a gap in the leaves. A trip wire is foiled if it is spotted, as is a pressure plate.
Other traps require careful inspection and deduction to notice. A doorknob opens a door when turned to the left, but activates a trap when turned to the right. Such a subtle trap requires a successful Intelligence (&Reference[inv]{Investigation}) check to notice. The trigger is obvious. Understanding its &Reference[nat]{nature} is not.
The DC of the check, regardless of its type, depends on the skill and care taken to conceal the trap. Most traps can be detected with a successful DC 20 check, but a crudely made or hastily built trap has a DC of 15. Exceptionally devious traps might have a DC of 25.
You must then put some thought into what the characters learn with a successful check. In most cases, the check reveals the trap. In other cases, it uncovers clues, but foiling the trap still requires some deduction. The characters might succeed on the check but still trigger the trap if they donât understand what they have learned.
Effects
Designing a trapâs effects is a straightforward process. The tables for saving throw DCs, attack bonuses, damage, and the like give you a starting point for most simple traps that deal damage.
For traps with more complex effects, your best starting point is to use the Spell Equivalent by Level table to find the best match for your trapâs intended effect. Spells are a good starting point because they are compact pieces of game design that deliver specific effects.
If you are using a spell as a starting point, check to see if you need to tweak its effects to fit the trapâs &Reference[nat]{nature}. For instance, you can easily change the damage type a spell delivers or the saving throw it requires.
&Reference[disarming]{Disarming} a Simple Trap
Only one successful ability check is required to disarm a simple trap. Imagine how your trap operates, and then think about how the characters could overcome it. More than one kind of ability check might be possible. Some traps are so poorly concealed that they can be discovered or circumvented without active effort. For instance, a hidden pit trap is effectively disarmed as soon as the characters notice it. After that, they can simply walk around it, or they can climb down one side, walk across the bottom of the pit, and climb up the other side.
Once you determine how a trap can be disarmed or avoided, decide the appropriate ability and skill combinations that characters can use. A [[/check dex format=long]] using thievesâ tools, a Strength (&Reference[ath]{Athletics}) check, and an Intelligence (&Reference[arc]{Arcana}) check are all commonly used for this purpose.
A [[/check dex format=long]] using thievesâ tools can apply to any trap that has a mechanical element. Thievesâ tools can be used to disable a trip wire or a pressure plate, disassemble a poison needle mechanism, or clog a valve that leaks poisonous gas into a room.
A [[/check str format=long]] is often the method for thwarting traps that can be destroyed or prevented from operating through the use of brute force. A scything blade can be broken, a sliding block can be held in place, or a net can be torn apart.
A magic trap can be disabled by someone who can undermine the magic used to power it. Typically, a successful Intelligence (&Reference[arc]{Arcana}) check enables a character to figure out how a magic trap functions and how to negate its effect. For instance, the character could discover that a statue that belches a jet of magical flame can be disabled by shattering one of its glass eyes.
Once you know what kind of check is called for, you then determine what happens on a failed attempt to disable the trap. Depending on the kind of check involved and the &Reference[nat]{nature} of the trap, you might determine that any failed check has negative consequences â usually involving the triggering of the trap. At other times, you could assign a number that the check must exceed to prevent the trap from going off. If the total of the check is equal to or lower than that number, the trap activates.
Placing a Simple Trap
Context and environment are critical when it comes to properly locating a trap. A swinging log trap thatâs meant to knock characters aside is a mere inconvenience on a typical forest path, where it can be easily circumvented. But itâs a potentially deadly hazard on a narrow trail that hugs the side of a towering cliff face.
Choke points and narrow passages that lead to important places in a dungeon are good spots for traps, especially those that serve as alarms or restraints. The goal is to foil or delay intruders before they can reach a critical location, giving the dungeonâs denizens a chance to mount a defense or a counterattack.
A treasure chest, a door leading to a vault, or any other obstacle or container that bars the way to a valuable treasure is the ideal location for a slaying trap. In such instances, the trap is the last line of defense against a thief or intruder.
Alarm traps, since they pose no direct physical threat, are appropriate for areas that are also used by a dungeonâs denizens â assuming the residents know about the trap and how to avoid setting it off. Accidents can happen, but if a goblin stumbles inside its den and activates an alarm trap, thereâs no real harm done. The alarm sounds, the guards arrive, they punish the clumsy goblin, and they reset the trap.

After a complex trap activates, it remains dangerous round after round until the characters avoid it or disable it. Some complex traps become more dangerous over time, as they accumulate power or gain speed.
Complex traps are also more difficult to disable than simple ones. A single check is not enough. Instead, a series of checks is required to slowly disengage the trapâs components. The trapâs effect degrades with each successful check until the characters finally deactivate it.
Most complex traps are designed so that they can be disarmed only by someone who is exposed to the trapâs effect. For example, the mechanism that controls a hallway filled with scything blades is on the opposite end from the entrance, or a statue that bathes an area in necrotic energy can be disabled only by someone standing in the affected area.
A complex trap has all the elements of a simple trap, plus special characteristics that make the trap a more dynamic threat.
Level and Threat. A complex trap uses the same level and severity designations that a simple trap does.
Trigger. Just like a simple trap, a complex trap has a trigger. Some complex traps have multiple triggers.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/06-005.trigger.png\")
Initiative. A complex trap takes turns as a creature does, because it functions over a period of time. This part of a trapâs description tells whether the trap is &Reference[slow]{slow} (acts on initiative count 10), fast (acts on initiative count 20), or very fast (acts on initiative count 20 and also initiative count 10). A trap always acts after creatures that have the same initiative count.
Active Elements. On a trapâs turn, it produces specific effects that are detailed in this part of its description. The trap might have multiple active elements, a table you roll on to determine its effect at random, or options for you to choose from.
Dynamic Elements. A dynamic element is a threat that arises or evolves while the trap functions. Usually, changes involving dramatic elements take effect at the end of each of the trapâs turns or in response to the charactersâ actions.
Constant Elements. A complex trap poses a threat even when it is not taking its turn. The constant elements describe how these parts of the trap function. Most make an attack or force a saving throw against any creature that ends its turn within a certain area.
Countermeasures. A trap can be defeated in a variety of ways. A trapâs description details the checks or spells that can detect or disable it. It also specifies what happens, if anything, on a failed attempt to disable it.
Disabling a complex trap is like &Reference[disarming]{disarming} a simple trap, except that a complex trap requires more checks. It typically takes three successful checks to disable one of a complex trapâs elements. Many of these traps have multiple elements, requiring a lot of work to shut down every part of the trap. Usually, a successful check reduces a trap elementâs effectiveness even if it doesnât disable the trap.
A complex trap functions in play much like a legendary monster. When it is activated, the trapâs active elements act according to its initiative. On each of its initiative counts, after all creatures with that same initiative count have acted, the trapâs features activate. Apply the effects detailed in the trapâs description.
After resolving the effects of the trapâs active elements, check its dynamic elements to see if anything changes about the trap. Many complex traps have effects that vary during an encounter. A magical aura might do more damage the longer it is active, or a swinging blade might change which area of a chamber it attacks.
The trapâs constant elements allow it to have effects when it isnât the trapâs turn. At the end of each creatureâs turn, look at the trapâs constant elements to see if any of their effects are triggered.
Overcoming a complex trap merits an experience point award, depending on the danger it poses. Judging whether a party has overcome a trap requires some amount of adjudication. As a rule of thumb, if the characters disable a complex trap or are exposed to its effects and survive, award them experience points for the effort according to the table below.
| Trap Level | Experience Points |
| 1-4 | 650 |
| 5-10 | 3,850 |
| 11-16 | 11,100 |
| 17-20 | 21,500 |

Path of Blades
Complex trap (level 1-4, dangerous threat)
Hidden within a buried pyramid that marks the location of the Lost City of Cynidicea is the tomb of King Alexander and Queen Zenobia. The entrance to their tomb is a long hallway riddled with traps, accessible only by cunningly hidden secret doors. The hallway is 20 feet wide and 160 feet long. It is mostly clear. After 80 feet, the floor is broken and cracked, becoming difficult terrain until the 130-foot mark.
Trigger. This trap activates as soon as a non-undead creature enters the hallway, and it remains active while any non-undead creature is within the hall.
Initiative. The trap acts on initiative count 20 and initiative count 10.
Active Elements. The Path of Blades includes a &Reference[set]{set} of whirling blades along the first 80 feet of the trap, crushing pillars that slam down from the ceiling to the floor before rising back up to the ceiling in the next 50 feet, and a rune of fear in its final 30 feet.
Whirling Blades (Initiative 20). The blades attack each creature in the first 80 feet of the hallway, with a +5 bonus to the attack roll and dealing [[/damage 2d10 slashing average=true]] damage on a hit.
Crushing Pillars (Initiative 10). Each creature in the 50-foot-long area beyond the first 80 feet of the hallway must make a [[/save dex 15 format=long]]. On a failed save, a creature takes [[/damage 2d10 bludgeoning average=true]] damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isnât knocked prone.
Dynamic Elements. The blades and the rune become more dangerous the longer the trap remains active.
Blades Accelerate. The blades move with increasing speed, slowing only when they hit a target. Each time the blades miss with an attack, their next attack becomes harder to avoid. After each miss, the bladesâ attack bonus increases by 2, and their damage increases by [[/damage 1d6 these]] benefits apply until the blades hit a target, after which the values return to normal.
Constant Elements. The Whirling Blades and the Rune of Fear affect each creature that ends its turn in an area affected by these elements.
Whirling Blades. Any creature that ends its turn in the bladesâ area is targeted by an attack: +5 attack bonus; [[/damage 1d10 slashing average=true]] damage on a hit.
Countermeasures. Each of the trapâs active elements can be thwarted by particular countermeasures.
Intelligence (&Reference[inv]{Investigation}), DC 15. As an action, a creature that can see the blades can attempt an Intelligence (&Reference[inv]{Investigation}) check. A successful check means that the character has learned how to anticipate the bladesâ movement, imposing disadvantage on the bladesâ attacks against the creature while it isnât incapacitated.
Attack. A creature in the area can ready an attack to strike at one of the blades as it goes by. The blade gains advantage on its attack against the creature. The creature then attacks. Each blade has AC 15 and 15 hit points. Destroying a blade reduces the Whirling Blades attack bonus by 2.
Crushing Pillars. The pillars are not susceptible to countermeasures.
Rune of Fear. The rune can be disabled with three successful DC 15 Intelligence (&Reference[arc]{Arcana}) checks. Each check requires an action. A creature must be at the end of the hallway to attempt the check, and only one creature can work on this task at once. Once a creature attempts a check for this purpose, no other character can do so until the end of that creatureâs next turn. Alternatively, the rune can be disabled with three successful castings of @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DispelMagic14III]{dispel magic} (DC 13) targeting the rune.
Sphere of Crushing Doom
Complex trap (level 5-10, deadly threat)
The court jester devised a deadly trap to foil anyone who sought to steal his magic foolâs cap. The jesterâs tomb is located at the end of a 10-foot-wide, 150-foot-long hallway that descends sharply from north to south. The entrance to the tomb is a door on the eastern wall at the bottom of the slope, at the south end of the hall.
Trigger. This trap activates as soon as the door leading to the jesterâs coffin is opened. A magic portal opens at the northern end of the hallway and disgorges an enormous steel sphere, which hurtles down the slope. When it reaches the bottom of the slope, a second portal briefly appears and teleports the sphere back to the top of the slope to begin the process again.
Initiative. The trap acts on initiative count 10 (but see the dynamic element below).
Active Element. Although the trap is complex in &Reference[nat]{nature}, it has a single active element. Thatâs all it needs.
Dynamic Element. The longer it rolls, the more lethal the sphere becomes.
Countermeasures. The trap can be neutralized either by stopping the sphere or preventing it from teleporting.
Stop the Sphere. Stopping the sphere is the easiest way to disrupt the trap. A @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.WallOfForce14III]{wall of force} can do so easily, as can any object placed in its path that has enough hit points to absorb damage from the sphere without being destroyed.
Disrupt the Portals. Either portal can be neutralized with three successful DC 20 Intelligence (&Reference[arc]{Arcana}) checks, but the process of analyzing a portal to disrupt it takes time. Faint runes in the ceiling and floor at both ends of the hallway are involved in the functioning of the portals. A creature must first use an action to examine a &Reference[set]{set} of runes, then use a subsequent action to attempt to vandalize the runes. Each successful check reduces the sphereâs damage by [[/damage 2d10 as]] the disrupted sphere loses speed moving through the failing portal.
Alternatively, a &Reference[set]{set} of runes can be disabled with three successful castings of @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DispelMagic14III]{dispel magic} (DC 19) targeting any of the runes in the &Reference[set]{set}.
If the southern portal is destroyed, the sphere slams into the south wall and comes to a halt. It blocks the door to the tomb, but the characters can escape.
Poisoned Tempest
Complex trap (level 11-16, deadly threat)
This fiendish trap was built to eliminate intruders who infiltrate a yuan-ti temple. The trap is a room, 60 feet on a side, with 5-foot-wide stone doors in the middle of each wall. In each corner of the room stands a 10-foot-tall statue of a great serpent, coiled and ready to strike. The eyes in each statue are rubies worth 200 gp apiece.
Trigger. This trap activates when a ruby is pried from one of the statues. Each statueâs mouth slides open, revealing a 1-foot-wide pipe that runs down its throat.
Initiative. The trap acts on initiative count 20 and initiative count 10.
Active Elements. The trap fills the room with poison and other deadly effects.
Locked Doors (Initiative 20). The four doors to this room slam shut and are locked in place by magic. This effect activates only once, the first time the trap is triggered.
Poison Gas (Initiative 20). Poison gas floods the room. Each creature inside must make a [[/save con 20 format=long]], taking [[/damage 6d10 poison average=true]] damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Tempest (Initiative 10). Air and gas boils from the trap. Roll a d6, and consult the following table.
Tempest Effects
| d6 | Effect |
| 1 | Hallucinatory gas scrambles the mind and senses. All Intelligence and Wisdom checks made in the room have disadvantage until the Tempest element activates again. |
| 2 | Explosive gas fills the area. If anyone holds an open flame, it causes an explosion. All creatures in the area must make a [[/save dex 20 format=long]], taking [[/damage 4d10 fire average=true]] damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The flame is then extinguished. |
| 3 | Weakening gas fills the room. All Strength and Dexterity checks made in the room have disadvantage until the Tempest element activates again. |
| 4 | Buffeting winds force each creature in the room to succeed on a [[/save str 20 format=long]] or be knocked prone. |
| 5 | Smoke fills the room. Visibility is reduced to 1 foot until the next time the Tempest element activates. |
| 6 | Poison floods the room, forcing creatures to make saving throws as for the Poison Gas element. |
@RollTable[Tempest Effects]{Open RollTable}
Dynamic Element. The longer the poison gas remains in the room, the more lethal it becomes.
Countermeasures. There are a few ways that the trap can be overcome.
Open the Doors. Opening the doors is the quickest way to circumvent the trap, but they are warded with magic. To open the doors, a character must first succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check to find the locking mechanism. A successful DC 20 Intelligence (&Reference[arc]{Arcana}) check is then required to disable the sphere of force that surrounds the lock (@Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DispelMagic14III]{dispel magic} is ineffective against it). Success on a [[/check dex 20 format=long]] using thievesâ tools picks the lock. Finally, a successful DC 20 Strength (&Reference[ath]{Athletics}) check is needed to &Reference[push]{push} the door open. Each check requires an action.
Disable the Statues. A statue can be disabled by blocking the flow of gas from its mouth. Heavily damaging a statue is a bad idea, for doing so leaves the gas vents open. Reducing a statue to 0 hit points (AC 17; 20 hp; resistance to fire, piercing, and slashing damage; immune to poison and psychic damage) or making a successful [[/check str 20 format=long]] to break it cracks the statue and increases the Poison Gas damage by [[/damage 1d10 a]] successful [[/check dex 20 format=long]] using thievesâ tools, or a successful [[/check str 15 format=long]] made to block up the statue with a cloak or similar object, decreases the poison damage by [[/damage 1d10 once]] a character succeeds on the check, someone must remain next to the statue to keep it blocked up. When all four statues are blocked in this manner, the trap deactivates.

Familiarize yourself with the advice on designing a simple trap before proceeding with the guidelines on complex traps.
Purpose
Complex traps are typically designed to protect an area by killing or disabling intruders. It is worth your time to consider who made the trap, the trapâs purpose, and its desired result. Does the trap protect a treasure? Does it target only certain kinds of intruders?
Level and Lethality
Complex traps use the same level designations and lethality descriptors that simple traps do. Refer to that section for a discussion of how level and lethality help determine saving throw and check DCs, attack bonuses, and other numerical elements of a complex trap.
Map
A complex trap has multiple parts, typically relies on the charactersâ positions to resolve some of its effects, and can bring several effects to bear in each round. The traps are called complex for a reason! To begiW";Pn the design process, consider drawing a map of the area to be affected by the trap on graph paper, using a scale of 5 feet per square. This level of detail allows you to develop a clear idea of what the trap can do and how each of its parts interact. Your map is the starting point and context for the rest of the design process.
Donât limit yourself to one room. Look at the passages and rooms around the area of the trap and think about the role they can play. The trap might cause doors to lock and barriers to fall into place to prevent escape. It could cause darts to fire from the walls in one area, forcing characters to enter rooms where other devices trigger and threaten them.
Consider how terrain and furniture can add to the trapâs danger. A chasm or a pit might create a buffer that allows a trap to send bolts of magic at the characters, while making it difficult or even impossible for them to reach the runes they must deface to foil that attack.
Think of your map like a script. Where do the characters want to go? What does the trap protect? How can the characters get there? What are their likely escape routes? Answering these questions tells you where the trapâs various elements should be placed.
Active Elements
A complex trapâs active elements work the same way as a simple trapâs effects, except that a complex trap activates in every round. Otherwise, the guidelines for picking saving throw DCs, attack bonuses, and damage are the same. To make your trap logically consistent, make sure the elements you design can activate each round. For instance, ordinary crossbows rigged to fire at the characters would need a mechanism for reloading them between attacks.
In terms of lethality, itâs better to have multiple dangerous effects in a trap than a single deadly one. For example, the Path of Blades trap uses two dangerous elements and one moderate element.
Itâs useful to create multiple active elements, with each affecting a different area. Itâs also a good idea to use a variety of effects. Some parts of the trap might deal damage, and others might immobilize characters or isolate them from the rest of the party. A bashing lever might knock characters into an area engulfed by jets of flame. Think about how the elements can work together.
Constant Elements
In addition to the active steps a complex trap takes, it should also present a continual hazard. Often, the active and constant effects are the same thing. Imagine a hallway filled with whirling saw blades. On the trapâs turn, the blades attack anyone in the hall. In addition, anyone who lingers in the hallway takes damage at the end of each of their turns, accounting for the constant threat that the blades pose.
A constant element should apply its effect to any creature that ends its turn in that elementâs area. If an active element presents a threat when it isnât the trapâs turn, define the threat it poses as a constant element. As a rule of thumb, keep the saving throw DC or attack bonus the same as for the active element but reduce the damage by half.
Avoid filling the entire encounter area with constant elements. Part of the challenge of a complex trap lies in figuring out which areas are safe. A momentâs respite can help add an element of pacing to an encounter with a complex trap and give the characters the feeling that they arenât in constant peril. For example, walls that slam together might need to reset between slams, making them harmless when it isnât their turn to act.
Dynamic Elements
Just as a battle is more interesting if the monsters change their tactics or unveil new abilities in later rounds, so too are complex traps more fun if their &Reference[nat]{nature} changes in some way. The whirling blades that protect a treasure chest do more damage each round as they speed up. The poison gas in a room grows thicker as more of it floods the chamber, dealing greater damage and affecting line of sight. The necrotic aura around an idol of Demogorgon produces random effects each time its active element is triggered. As water floods a chamber, the characters must swim across areas they could walk through just a round or two earlier.
Since a complex trap remains active over the course of several rounds, it might be possible to predict its future behavior by examining how it functions. This information can give its targets a much better chance of thwarting it. To minimize this possibility, design your trap so that it presents multiple threats that can change each round. The changes can include how a trap targets creatures (different attacks or saving throws), the damage or effects it produces, the areas it covers, and so on. Some traps might have a random effect each round, while others follow a carefully programmed sequence of attacks.
Dynamic elements usually occur according to a schedule. For a room that floods, you can plan out how the rising water level affects the area each round. The water might be ankle deep at the end of the first round, knee deep the next, and so on. Not only does the water bring a risk of drowning, it also makes it harder to move across the area. On the other hand, the rising water level might allow characters to swim to the upper reaches of the chamber that they couldnât get to from the floor.
Dynamic elements can also come into play in reaction to the charactersâ actions. &Reference[disarming]{Disarming} one element of the trap might make the others deadlier. Disabling a rune that triggers a fire-breathing statue might cause the statue to explode.
Triggers
The advice on triggers given for simple traps also applies to complex traps, with one exception. Complex traps have multiple triggers, or are designed such that avoiding a trigger prevents intruders from reaching the area the trap guards. Other complex traps use magical triggers that activate on specific cues, such as when a door opens or someone enters an area without wearing the correct badge, amulet, or robe.
Look at your map and consider when you want the trap to spring into action. Itâs best to have a complex trap trigger after the characters have committed to exploring an area. A simple trap might activate when the characters open a door. A complex trap that triggers so early leaves the characters still outside the trapped room, in a place where they could decide to close the door and move on. A simple trap aims to keep intruders out. A complex trap wants to lure them in, so that when it activates, the intruders must deal with the trap before they can escape.
The trigger for a complex trap should be as foolproof as you can make it. A complex trap represents a serious expenditure of effort and magical power. No one builds such a trap and makes it easy to avoid. Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) and Intelligence (&Reference[inv]{Investigation}) checks might be unable to spot a trigger, especially a magical one, but they can still give hints about the trap before it triggers. Bloodstains, ashes, gouges in the floor, and other clues of that sort can serve as evidence of the trapâs presence.
Initiative
A complex trap acts repeatedly, but unlike characters and monsters, traps donât roll for initiative. As mechanical or magical devices, their active elements operate in a periodic manner. When designing a complex trap, you need to decide when and how often its active elements produce their effects.
In a trap with multiple active elements that work in concert, those different elements would act on different initiative counts. For instance, on initiative count 20, blades sweep across a treasure vault, driving the characters back into the hallway. On initiative count 10, magic darts fire from statues in the hallway while a portcullis falls to confine the characters.
Initiative 10. If a trapâs active element takes time to build up its effects, then it acts on initiative count 10. This option is good for a trap that functions alongside allied monsters or other guardians; the delay before it acts can give guards the chance to move out of its area or force characters into the area before the trap triggers.
Initiative 20. If an element is designed to surprise intruders and hit them before they can react, then it acts on initiative count 20. This option is generally best for a complex trap. Think of it as the default. Such a trap acts quickly enough to take advantage of most characters, with nimble characters like rogues, rangers, and monks having the best chance to move out of the area before the element activates.
Initiative 20 and 10. Some active elements are incredibly fast acting, laying waste to intruders in a few moments unless countered. They act on initiative count 20 and 10.
COMPLEX TRAPS AND LEGENDARY MONSTERS
A complex trap is like a legendary monster in some ways. It has several tricks it can use on its turn, and it remains a threat throughout the round, not just on its turn. The trapâs active elements are like a legendary creatureâs normal actions, and its constant elements are equivalent to legendary actions â except they are tied to specific areas in the trapped room.Â
Although a legendary creature can move, improvise actions, and so forth, a trap is &Reference[set]{set} to a specific script â an aspect that has the potential to make a complex trap stale and predictable. Thatâs where dynamic elements come in. They keep the players on their toes and make dealing with a complex trap feel like a challenging, evolving situation.
A complex trap is never defeated with a single check. Instead, each successful check foils some part of it or degrades its &Reference[prf]{performance}. Each element of the trap must be overcome individually to defeat the trap as a whole.
As part of determining how your trap can be overcome, look at your map and consider where the characters must be located to attempt an action that can foil part of the trap. As a rule, the characters should need to be near or adjacent to an element to have a chance of affecting it. An element can be designed so that it protects itself. A fighter might be able to break a whirling blade, but moving close enough to attack it requires giving the blade a chance to strike.
What methods are effective against your trap? Obvious candidates are activities covered by the same sorts of checks used to defeat simple traps, but use your knowledge of the trapâs design to identify other options. A valve that leaks poison gas into a room can be stopped up. A statue that emits a deadly aura can be pushed over and smashed. Attacks, spells, and special abilities can all play a role in undermining a trap.
Leave room for improvisation by the characters. Donât create a few predetermined solutions and wait for the players to figure out the right approach. If you understand the mechanism behind how a trap works, that makes it much easier for you to respond to the playersâ ideas. If a character wants to try something you havenât allowed for, pick an ability, assess the chance of success, and ask for a roll.
Shutting down one part of a complex trap usually requires multiple successes. As a default, it takes three successful checks or actions to disable an element. The first successful check might reduce the elementâs saving throw DC or attack bonus. The second successful check might halve the elementâs damage, and the final successful check shuts it down.
For elements that donât attack, allow each successful check to reduce that elementâs effectiveness by one-third. A lockâs DC is decreased, or a gate opens wide enough to allow a Small character to squeeze through it. A mechanism pumping poison gas into the room becomes defective, causing the gasâs damage to increase more slowly or not at all.
It takes time to disable a complex trap. Three characters canât make checks in rapid succession to disarm a complex trap in a matter of seconds. Each would get in another characterâs way and disrupt the effort. Once a character succeeds on a check, another character canât attempt the same check against the same trap element until the end of the successful characterâs next turn.
Not all of the charactersâ options need to be focused on stopping a trap from operating. Think of what characters can do to mitigate or avoid a trapâs effects. Making the trap vulnerable to this sort of effort is a way to engage characters who might be ill-suited to confront the trap directly. A successful Intelligence (&Reference[rel]{Religion}) check might provide &Reference[ins]{insight} into the imagery displayed by a trap in a temple or shrine, giving other characters a clue about how and where to direct their efforts. A character could stand in front of a dart trap while holding a shield that the darts can target harmlessly, while other characters trigger that element as they work to disable it.

The heroics, folly, righteousness, and potential villainy of your characters are at the heart of the story.

Each class offers a character-defining choice at 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level that unlocks a series of special features, not available to the class as a whole. That choice is called a subclass. Each class has a collective term that describes its subclasses; in the fighter, for instance, the subclasses are called martial archetypes, and in the paladin, theyâre sacred oaths. The table below identifies each of the subclasses in this book. In addition, the section for druids presents details on how the Wild Shape feature works, and the warlock receives a collection of new choices for the classâs Eldritch Invocations feature.
Each of the class presentations leads off with advice on how to add depth and detail to your characterâs personality. You can use the tables in these sections as a source of inspiration, or roll a die to randomly determine a result if desired.
Following the subclasses, the section called â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.p1U05BXKJkBpNAe9.JournalEntryPage.p1U05BXKJkBpNAe9]{This Is Your Life}â presents a series of tables for adding detail to your characterâs backstory.

I have witnessed the indomitable &Reference[prf]{performance} of barbarians on the field of battle, and it makes me wonder what force lies at the heart of their rage.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-001.barbarian.png\")
The anger felt by a normal person resembles the rage of a barbarian in the same way that a gentle breeze is akin to a furious thunderstorm. The barbarianâs driving force comes from a place that transcends mere emotion, making its manifestation all the more terrible. Whether the impetus for the fury comes entirely from within or from forging a link with a spirit animal, a raging barbarian becomes able to perform supernatural feats of strength and endurance. The outburst is temporary, but while it lasts, it takes over body and mind, driving the barbarian on despite peril and injury, until the last enemy falls.
It can be tempting to play a barbarian character that is a straightforward application of the classic archetype â a brute, and usually a dimwitted one at that, who rushes in where others fear to tread. But not all the barbarians in the world are cut from that cloth, so you can certainly put your own spin on things. Either way, consider adding some flourishes to make your barbarian stand out from all others; see the following sections for some ideas.
Rawr! Iâm really angry! Funny, I donât feel any stronger. Maybe because Iâm always angry, Iâm always in top condition. Stands to reason.
Barbarians tend to travel light, carrying little in the way of personal effects or other unnecessary gear. The few possessions they do carry often include small items that have special significance. A personal totem is significant because it has a mystical origin or is tied to an important moment in the characterâs life â perhaps a remembrance from the barbarianâs past or a harbinger of what lies ahead.
A personal totem of this sort might be associated with a barbarianâs spirit animal, or might actually be the totem object for the animal, but such a connection is not essential. One who has a bear totem spirit, for instance, could still carry an eagleâs feather as a personal totem.
Consider creating one or more personal totems for your character â objects that hold a special link to your characterâs past or future. Think about how a totem might affect your characterâs actions.
| d6 | Totem |
| 1 | A tuft of fur from a solitary wolf that you befriended during a hunt |
| 2 | Three eagle feathers given to you by a wise shaman, who told you they would play a role in determining your fate |
| 3 | A necklace made from the claws of a young cave bear that you slew singlehandedly as a child |
| 4 | A small leather pouch holding three stones that represent your ancestors |
| 5 | A few small bones from the first beast you killed, tied together with colored wool |
| 6 | An egg-sized stone in the shape of your spirit animal that appeared one day in your belt pouch |
@RollTable[Personal Totems]{Open RollTable}
The members of many barbarian clans decorate their bodies with tattoos, each of which represents a significant moment in the life of the bearer or the bearerâs ancestors, or which symbolizes a feeling or an attitude. As with personal totems, a barbarianâs tattoos might or might not be related to an animal spirit.
Each tattoo a barbarian displays contributes to that individualâs identity. If your character wears tattoos, what do they look like, and what do they represent?
| d6 | Tattoo |
| 1 | The wings of an eagle are spread wide across your upper back. |
| 2 | Etched on the backs of your hands are the paws of a cave bear. |
| 3 | The symbols of your clan are displayed in viny patterns along your arms. |
| 4 | The antlers of an elk are inked across your back. |
| 5 | Images of your spirit animal are tattooed along your weapon arm and hand. |
| 6 | The eyes of a wolf are marked on your back to help you see and ward off evil spirits. |
@RollTable[Tattoos]{Open RollTable}
Barbarians vary widely in how they understand life. Some follow gods and look for guidance from those deities in the cycles of &Reference[nat]{nature} and the animals they encounter. These barbarians believe that spirits inhabit the plants and animals of the world, and the barbarians look to them for omens and power.
Other barbarians trust only in the blood that runs in their veins and the steel they hold in their hands. They have no use for the invisible world, instead relying on their senses to hunt and survive like the wild beasts they emulate.
Both of these attitudes can give rise to superstitions. These beliefs are often passed down within a family or shared among the members of a clan or a hunting group.
If your barbarian character has any superstitions, were they ingrained in you by your family, or are they the result of personal experience?
| d6 | Superstition |
| 1 | If you disturb the bones of the dead, you inherit all the troubles that plagued them in life. |
| 2 | Never trust a wizard. Theyâre all devils in disguise, especially the friendly ones. |
| 3 | Dwarves have lost their spirits, and are almost like the undead. Thatâs why they live underground. |
| 4 | Magical things bring trouble. Never sleep with a magic object within ten feet of you. |
| 5 | When you walk through a graveyard, be sure to wear silver, or a ghost might jump into your body. |
| 6 | If an elf looks you in the eyes, sheâs trying to read your thoughts. |

Primal Paths
At 3rd level, a barbarian gains the Primal Path feature. The following options are available to a barbarian, in addition to those offered in the Playerâs Handbook: the Path of the Ancestral Guardian, the Path of the Storm Herald, and the Path of the Zealot.

These tribes teach that the warriors of the past linger in the world as mighty spirits, who can guide and protect the living. When a barbarian who follows this path rages, the barbarian contacts the spirit world and calls on these guardian spirits for aid.
Barbarians who draw on their ancestral guardians can better fight to protect their tribes and their allies. In order to cement ties to their ancestral guardians, barbarians who follow this path cover themselves in elaborate tattoos that celebrate their ancestorsâ deeds. These tattoos tell sagas of victories against terrible monsters and other fearsome rivals.
So ancestors are people who did the procreation thing to make more people before you were born? Like how many people?
Thatâs a lot of the procreation thing.
Ew. Youâre disgusting.
| Barbarian Level | Feature |
| 3rd | Ancestral Protectors |
| 6th | Spirit Shield (2d6) |
| 10th | Consult the Spirits, Spirit Shield (3d6) |
| 14th | Vengeful Ancestors, Spirit Shield (4d6) |
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you enter your rage. While youâre raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors, which hinder its attacks. Until the start of your next turn, that target has disadvantage on any attack roll that isnât against you, and when the target hits a creature other than you with an attack, that creature has resistance to the damage dealt by the attack. The effect on the target ends early if your rage ends.
Beginning at 6th level, the guardian spirits that aid you can provide supernatural protection to those you defend. If you are raging and another creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6.
When you reach certain levels in this class, you can reduce the damage by more: by 3d6 at 10th level and by 4d6 at 14th level.
At 10th level, you gain the ability to consult with your ancestral spirits. When you do so, you cast the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Augury14IIIIIIII]{augury} or @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Clairvoyance14II]{clairvoyance} spell, without using a spell slot or material components. Rather than creating a spherical sensor, this use of @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Clairvoyance14II]{clairvoyance} invisibly summons one of your ancestral spirits to the chosen location. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
After you cast either spell in this way, you canât use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
At 14th level, your ancestral spirits grow powerful enough to retaliate. When you use your Spirit Shield to reduce the damage of an attack, the attacker takes an amount of force damage equal to the damage that your Spirit Shield prevents.

Storm heralds are typically elite champions who train alongside druids, rangers, and others sworn to protect &Reference[nat]{nature}. Other storm heralds hone their craft in lodges in regions wracked by storms, in the frozen reaches at the worldâs end, or deep in the hottest deserts.

| Barbarian Level | Feature |
| 3rd | Storm Aura |
| 6th | Storm Soul |
| 10th | Shielding Storm |
| 14th | Raging Storm |
Starting at 3rd level, you emanate a stormy, magical aura while you rage. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover.
Your aura has an effect that activates when you enter your rage, and you can activate the effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action. Choose desert, sea, or tundra. Your auraâs effect depends on that chosen environment, as detailed below. You can change your environment choice whenever you gain a level in this class.
If your auraâs effects require a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency Ŕ
Ęăůbonus + your Constitution modifier.
Desert. When this effect is activated, all other creatures in your aura take 2 fire damage each. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3 at 5th level, 4 at 10th level, 5 at 15th level, and 6 at 20th level.
Sea. When this effect is activated, you can choose one other creature you can see in your aura. The target must make a [[/save dex format=long]]. The target takes 1d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 2d6 at 10th level, 3d6 at 15th level, and 4d6 at 20th level.
Tundra. When this effect is activated, each creature of your choice in your aura gains 2 temporary hit points, as icy spirits inure it to suffering. The temporary hit points increase when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3 at 5th level, 4 at 10th level, 5 at 15th level, and 6 at 20th level.
At 6th level, the storm grants you benefits even when your aura isnât active. The benefits are based on the environment you chose for your Storm Aura.
Desert. You gain resistance to fire damage, and you donât suffer the effects of extreme heat, as described in the Dungeon Masterâs Guide. Moreover, as an action, you can touch a flammable object that isnât being worn or carried by anyone else and &Reference[set]{set} it on fire.
Sea. You gain resistance to lightning damage, and you can breathe underwater. You also gain a swimming speed of 30 feet.
Tundra. You gain resistance to cold damage, and you donât suffer the effects of extreme cold, as described in the Dungeon Masterâs Guide. Moreover, as an action, you can touch water and turn a 5-foot cube of it into ice, which melts after 1 minute. This action fails if a creature is in the cube.
At 10th level, you learn to use your mastery of the storm to protect others. Each creature of your choice has the damage resistance you gained from the Storm Soul feature while the creature is in your Storm Aura.
At 14th level, the power of the storm you channel grows mightier, lashing out at your foes. The effect is based on the environment you chose for your Storm Aura.
Desert. Immediately after a creature in your aura hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a [[/save dex format=long]]. On a failed save, the creature takes fire damage equal to half your barbarian level.
Sea. When you hit a creature in your aura with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a [[/save str format=long]]. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone, as if struck by a wave.
Tundra. Whenever the effect of your Storm Aura is activated, you can choose one creature you can see in the aura. That creature must succeed on a [[/save str format=long]], or its speed is reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn, as magical frost covers it.

In general, the gods who inspire zealots are deities of combat, destruction, and violence. Not all are evil, but few are good.
| Barbarian Level | Feature |
| 3rd | Divine Fury, Warrior of the Gods |
| 6th | Fanatical Focus |
| 10th | Zealous Presence |
| 14th | Rage beyond Death |
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can channel divine fury into your weapon strikes. While youâre raging, the first creature you hit on each of your turns with a weapon attack takes extra damage equal to 1d6 + half your barbarian level. The extra damage is necrotic or radiant; you choose the type of damage when you gain this feature.
At 3rd level, your soul is marked for endless battle. If a spell, such as @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.RaiseDead14IIIII]{raise dead}, has the sole effect of restoring you to life (but not undeath), the caster doesnât need material components to cast the spell on you.
Starting at 6th level, the divine power that fuels your rage can protect you. If you fail a saving throw while youâre raging, you can reroll it, and you must use the new roll. You can use this ability only once per rage.
At 10th level, you learn to channel divine power to inspire zealotry in others. As a bonus action, you unleash a battle cry infused with divine energy. Up to ten other creatures of your choice within 60 feet of you that can hear you gain advantage on attack rolls and saving throws until the start of your next turn.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a long rest.
Beginning at 14th level, the divine power that fuels your rage allows you to shrug off fatal blows.
While youâre raging, having 0 hit points doesnât knock you unconscious. You still must make death saving throws, and you suffer the normal effects of taking damage while at 0 hit points. However, if you would die due to failing death saving throws, you donât die until your rage ends, and you die then only if you still have 0 hit points.

Music is the fruit of the divine tree that vibrates with the Words of Creation. But the question I ask you is, can a bard go to the root of this tree? Can one tap into the source of that power? Ah, then what manner of music they would bring to this world!
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-004.bard.png\")
Bards bring levity during grave times; they impart wisdom to offset ignorance; and they make the ridiculous seem sublime. Bards are preservers of ancient &Reference[his]{history}, their songs and tales perpetuating the memory of great events down through time â knowledge so important that it is memorized and passed along as oral &Reference[his]{history}, to survive even when no written record remains.
It is also the bardâs role to chronicle smaller and more contemporary events â the stories of todayâs heroes, including their feats of valor as well as their less than impressive failures.
Of course, the world has many people who can carry a tune or tell a good story, and thereâs much more to any adventuring bard than a glib tongue and a melodious voice. Yet what truly sets bards apart from others â and from one another â are the style and substance of their performances.
To grab and hold the attention of an audience, bards are typically flamboyant and outgoing when they perform. The most famous of them are essentially the D&D worldâs equivalent of pop stars. If youâre playing a bard, consider using one of your favorite musicians as a role model for your character.
You can add some unique aspects to your bard character by considering the suggestions that follow.
Music is stupid. Wait. I changed my mind. Music is fun. Play more music. No, I was right the first time. Music is stupid. But I wonât maim you after all, in case I change my mind again.
Every successful bard is renowned for at least one piece of &Reference[prf]{performance} art, typically a song or a poem that is popular with everyone who hears it. These performances are spoken about for years by those who view them, and some spectators have had their lives forever changed because of the experience.
If your character is just starting out, your ultimate defining work is likely in the future. But in order to make any sort of living at your profession, chances are you already have a piece or two in your repertoire that have proven to be audience pleasers.
| d6 | Defining Work |
| 1 | âThe Three Flambinis,â a ribald song concerning mistaken identities and unfettered desire |
| 2 | âWaltz of the Myconids,â an upbeat tune that children in particular enjoy |
| 3 | âAsmodeusâs Golden Arse,â a dramatic poem you claim was inspired by your personal visit to Avernus |
| 4 | âThe Pirates of Luskan,â your firsthand account of being kidnapped by sea reavers as a child |
| 5 | âA Hoop, Two Pigeons, and a Hell Hound,â a subtle parody of an incompetent noble |
| 6 | âA Fool in the Abyss,â a comedic poem about a jesterâs travels among demons |
@RollTable[Defining Works]{Open RollTable}
In a bardâs quest for the ultimate &Reference[prf]{performance} and the highest acclaim, oneâs instrument is at least as important as oneâs vocal ability. The instrumentâs quality of manufacture is a critical factor, of course; the best ones make the best music, and some bards are continually on the lookout for an improvement. Perhaps just as important, though, is the instrumentâs own entertainment value; those that are bizarrely constructed or made of exotic materials are likely to leave a lasting impression on an audience.
You might have an âoff the rackâ instrument, perhaps because itâs all you can afford right now. Or, if your first instrument was gifted to you, it might be of a more elaborate sort. Are you satisfied with the instrument you have, or do you aspire to replace it with something truly distinctive?
| d6 | Instrument |
| 1 | A masterfully crafted halfling fiddle |
| 2 | A mithral horn made by elves |
| 3 | A zither made with drow spider silk |
| 4 | An orcish drum |
| 5 | A wooden bullywug croak box |
| 6 | A tinkerâs harp of gnomish design |
@RollTable[Instruments]{Open RollTable}
Almost every bard has suffered at least one bad experience in front of an audience, and chances are youâre no exception. No one becomes famous right away, after all; perhaps you had a few small difficulties early in your career, or maybe it took you a while to restore your reputation after one agonizing night when the fates conspired to bring about your theatrical ruin.
The ways that a &Reference[prf]{performance} can go wrong are as varied as the fish in the sea. No matter what sort of disaster might occur, however, a bard has the courage and the confidence to rebound from it â either pressing on with the show (if possible) or promising to come back tomorrow with a new &Reference[prf]{performance} thatâs guaranteed to please.
| d6 | Embarrassment |
| 1 | The time when your comedic song, âBig Tomâs Hijinksâ â which, by the way, you thought was brilliant â did not go over well with Big Tom |
| 2 | The matinee &Reference[prf]{performance} when a circusâs owlbear got loose and terrorized the crowd |
| 3 | When your opening song was your enthusiastic but universally hated rendition of âSong of the Froghemothâ |
| 4 | The first and last public &Reference[prf]{performance} of âMirt, Man about Townâ |
| 5 | The time on stage when your wig caught fire and you threw it down â which &Reference[set]{set} fire to the stage |
| 6 | When you sat on your lute by mistake during the final stanza of âStarlight Serenadeâ |
@RollTable[Embarrassments]{Open RollTable}
Naturally, every bard has a repertoire of songs and stories. Some bards are generalists who can draw from a wide range of topics for each &Reference[prf]{performance}, and who take pride in their versatility. Others adopt a more personal approach to their art, driven by their attachment to a muse â a particular concept that inspires much of what those bards do in front of an audience.
A bard who follows a muse generally does so to gain a deeper understanding of what that muse represents and how to best convey that understanding to others through &Reference[prf]{performance}.
If your bard character has a muse, it could be one of the three described here, or one of your own devising.
&Reference[nat]{Nature}. You feel a kinship with the natural world, and its beauty and mystery inspire you. For you, a tree is deeply symbolic, its roots delving into the dark unknown to draw forth the power of the earth, while its branches reach toward the sun to nourish their flowers and fruit. &Reference[nat]{Nature} is the ancient witness who has seen every kingdom rise and fall, even those whose names have been forgotten and wait to be rediscovered. The gods of &Reference[nat]{nature} share their secrets with druids and sages, opening their hearts and minds to new ways of seeing, and as with those individuals, you find that your creativity blossoms while you wander in an open field of waving grass or walk in silent reverence through a grove of ancient oaks.
Love. You are on a quest to identify the essence of true love. Though you do not disdain the superficial love of flesh and form, the deeper form of love that can inspire thousands or bring joy to oneâs every moment is what you are interested in. Love of this sort takes on many forms, and you can see its presence everywhere â from the sparkling of a beautiful gem to the song of a simple fisher thanking the sea for its bounty. You are on the trail of love, that most precious and mysterious of emotions, and your search fills your stories and your songs with vitality and passion.
Conflict. Drama embodies conflict, and the best stories have conflict as a key element. From the morning-after tale of a tavern brawl to the saga of an epic battle, from a loverâs spat to a rift between powerful dynasties, conflict is what inspires tale-tellers like you to create your best work. Conflict can bring out the best in some people, causing their heroic &Reference[nat]{nature} to shine forth and transform the world, but it can cause others to gravitate toward darkness and fall under the sway of evil. You strive to experience or witness all forms of conflict, great and small, so as to study this eternal aspect of life and immortalize it in your words and music.
Bard Colleges
At 3rd level, a bard gains the Bard College feature. The following options are available to a bard, in addition to those offered in the Playerâs Handbook: the College of Glamour, the College of Swords, and the College of Whispers.

Tutored by satyrs, eladrin, and other fey, these bards learn to use their magic to delight and captivate others.
The bards of this college are regarded with a mixture of awe and fear. Their performances are the stuff of legend. These bards are so eloquent that a speech or song that one of them performs can cause captors to release the bard unharmed and can lull a furious dragon into complacency. The same magic that allows them to quell beasts can also bend minds. Villainous bards of this college can leech off a community for weeks, misusing their magic to turn their hosts into thralls. Heroic bards of this college instead use this power to gladden the downtrodden and undermine oppressors.

| Bard Level | Feature |
| 3rd | Mantle of Inspiration, Enthralling &Reference[prf]{PťűČůerformance} |
| 6th | Mantle of Majesty |
| 14th | Unbreakable Majesty |
When you join the College of Glamour at 3rd level, you gain the ability to weave a song of fey magic that imbues your allies with vigor and speed.
As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to grant yourself a wondrous appearance. When you do so, choose a number of creatures you can see and that can see you within 60 feet of you, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each of them gains 5 temporary hit points. When a creature gains these temporary hit points, it can immediately use its reaction to move up to its speed, without provoking opportunity attacks.
The number of temporary hit points increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 8 at 5th level, 11 at 10th level, and 14 at 15th level.
Starting at 3rd level, you can charge your &Reference[prf]{performance} with seductive, fey magic.
If you perform for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to inspire wonder in your audience by singing, reciting a poem, or dancing. At the end of the &Reference[prf]{performance}, choose a number of humanoids within 60 feet of you who watched and listened to all of it, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each target must succeed on a [[/save wis format=long]] against your spell save DC or be charmed by you. While charmed in this way, the target idolizes you, it speaks glowingly of you to anyone who talks to it, and it hinders anyone who opposes you, although it avoids violence unless it was already inclined to fight on your behalf. This effect ends on a target after 1 hour, if it takes any damage, if you attack it, or if it witnesses you attacking or damaging any of its allies.
If a target succeeds on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you tried to charm it.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
At 6th level, you gain the ability to cloak yourself in a fey magic that makes others want to serve you. As a bonus action, you cast @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Command14IIIIIII]{command}, without expending a spell slot, and you take on an appearance of unearthly beauty for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell). During this time, you can cast @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Command14IIIIIII]{command} as a bonus action on each of your turns, without expending a spell slot.
Any creature charmed by you automatically fails its saving throw against the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Command14IIIIIII]{command} you cast with this feature.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a long rest.
At 14th level, your appearance permanently gains an otherworldly aspect that makes you look more lovely and fierce.
In addition, as a bonus action, you can assume a magically majestic presence for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated. For the duration, whenever any creature tries to attack you for the first time on a turn, the attacker must make a [[/save cha format=long]] against your spell save DC. On a failed save, it canât attack you on this turn, and it must choose a new target for its attack or the attack is wasted. On a successful save, it can attack you on this turn, but it has disadvantage on any saving throw it makes against your spells on your next turn.
Once you assume this majestic presence, you canât do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Bards of the College of Swords are called blades, and they entertain through daring feats of weapon prowess. Blades perform stunts such as sword swallowing, knife throwing and juggling, and mock combats. Though they use their weapons to entertain, they are also highly trained and skilled warriors in their own right.
Their talent with weapons inspires many blades to lead double lives. One blade might use a circus troupe as cover for nefarious deeds such as assassination, robbery, and blackmail. Other blades strike at the wicked, bringing justice to bear against the cruel and powerful. Most troupes are happy to accept a bladeâs talent for the excitement it adds to a &Reference[prf]{performance}, but few entertainers fully trust a blade in their ranks.
Blades who abandon their lives as entertainers have often run into trouble that makes maintaining their secret activities impossible. A blade caught stealing or engaging in vigilante justice is too great a liability for most troupes. With their weapon skills and magic, these blades either take up work as enforcers for thievesâ guilds or strike out on their own as adventurers.
| Bard Level | Feature |
| 3rd | Bonus Proficiencies, Fighting Style, Blade Flourish |
| 6th | Extra Attack |
| 14th | Masterâs Flourish |
When you join the College of Swords at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium armor and the scimitar.
If youâre proficient with a simple or martial melee weapon, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.
At 3rd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You canât take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if something in the game lets you choose again.
Dueling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
Two-Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
At 3rd level, you learn to perform impressive displays of martial prowess and speed.
Whenever you take the Attack action on your turn, your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of the turn, and if a weapon attack that you make as part of this action hits a creature, you can use one of the following Blade Flourish options of your choice. You can use only one Blade Flourish option per turn.
Defensive Flourish. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target you hit. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die. You also add the number rolled to your AC until the start of your next turn.
Slashing Flourish. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target you hit and to any other creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die.
Mobile Flourish. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target you hit. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die. You can also &Reference[push]{push} the target up to 5 feet away from you, plus a number of feet equal to the number you roll on that die. You can then immediately use your reaction to move up to your walking speed to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the target.
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Starting at 14th level, whenever you use a Blade Flourish option, you can roll a d6 and use it instead of expending a Bardic Inspiration die.

Most folk are happy to welcome a bard into their midst. Bards of the College of Whispers use this to their advantage. They appear to be like other bards, sharing news, singing songs, and telling tales to the audiences they gather. In truth, the College of Whispers teaches its students that they are wolves among sheep. These bards use their knowledge and magic to uncover secrets and turn them against others through extortion and threats.
Many other bards hate the College of Whispers, viewing it as a parasite that uses a bardâs reputation to acquire wealth and power. For this reason, members of this college rarely reveal their true &Reference[nat]{nature}. They typically claim to follow some other college, or they keep their actual calling secret in order to infiltrate and exploit royal courts and other settings of power.
Speak up! Itâs really hard to hear you over the screaming. Nope. Itâs no use. Iâll have to stop the screaming. Disintegrations all around, then.
| Bard Level | Feature |
| 3rd | Psychic Blades, Words of Terror |
| 6th | Mantle of Whispers |
| 14th | Shadow Lore |
When you join the College of Whispers at 3rd level, you gain the ability to make your weapon attacks magically toxic to a creatureâs mind.
When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to deal an extra 2d6 psychic damage to that target. You can do so only once per round on your turn.
The psychic damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3d6 at 5th level, 5d6 at 10th level, and 8d6 at 15th level.
At 3rd level, you learn to infuse innocent-seeming words with an insidious magic that can inspire terror.
If you speak to a humanoid alone for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to seed paranoia in its mind. At the end of the conversation, the target must succeed on a [[/save wis format=long]] against your spell save DC or be frightened of you or another creature of your choice. The target is frightened in this way for 1 hour, until it is attacked or damaged, or until it witnesses its allies being attacked or damaged.
If the target succeeds on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you tried to frighten it.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
At 6th level, you gain the ability to adopt a humanoidâs persona. When a humanoid dies within 30 feet of you, you can magically capture its shadow using your reaction. You retain this shadow until you use it or you finish a long rest.
You can use the shadow as an action. When you do so, it vanishes, magically transforming into a disguise that appears on you. You now look like the dead person, but healthy and alive. This disguise lasts for 1 hour or until you end it as a bonus action.
While youâre in the disguise, you gain access to all information that the humanoid would freely share with a casual acquaintance. Such information includes general details on its background and personal life, but doesnât include secrets. The information is enough that you can pass yourself off as the person by drawing on its memories.
Another creature can see through this disguise by succeeding on a Wisdom (&Reference[ins]{Insight}) check contested by your Charisma (&Reference[dec]{Deception}) check. You gain a +5 bonus to your check.
Once you capture a shadow with this feature, you canât capture another one with it until you finish a short or long rest.
Shadow Lore
At 14th level, you gain the ability to weave dark magic into your words and tap into a creatureâs deepest fears.
As an action, you magically whisper a phrase that only one creature of your choice within 30 feet of you can hear. The target must make a [[/save wis format=long]] against your spell save DC. It automatically succeeds if it doesnât share a language with you or if it canât hear you. On a successful saving throw, your whisper sounds like unintelligible mumbling and has no effect.
On a failed saving throw, the target is charmed by you for the next 8 hours or until you or your allies attack it, damage it, or force it to make a saving throw. It interprets the whispers as a description of its most mortifying secret. You gain no knowledge of this secret, but the target is convinced you know it.
The charmed creature obeys your commands for fear that you will reveal its secret. It wonât risk its life for you or fight for you, unless it was already inclined to do so. It grants you favors and gifts it would offer to a close friend.
When the effect ends, the creature has no understanding of why it held you in such fear.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a long rest.

To become a cleric is to become a messenger of the gods. The power the divine offers is great, but it always comes with tremendous responsibility.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-007.cleric.png\")
Almost all the folk in the world who revere a deity live their lives without ever being directly touched by a divine being. As such, they can never know what it feels like to be a cleric â someone who is not only a devout worshiper, but who has also been invested with a measure of a deityâs power.
The question has long been debated: Does a mortal become a cleric as a consequence of deep devotion to oneâs deity, thereby attracting the godâs favor? Or is it the deity who sees the potential in a person and calls that individual into service? Ultimately, perhaps, the answer doesnât matter. However clerics come into being, the world needs clerics as much as clerics and deities need each other.
If youâre playing a cleric character, the following sections offer ways to add some detail to that characterâs &Reference[his]{history} and personality.
I donât understand the attraction of gods. Why would anyone worship anything other than me?
Most clerics start their lives of service as priests in an order, then later realize that they have been blessed by their god with the qualities needed to become a cleric. To prepare for this new duty, candidates typically receive instruction from a cleric of a temple or another place of study devoted to their deity.
Some temples are cut off from the world so that their occupants can focus on devotions, while other temples open their doors to minister to and heal the masses. What is noteworthy about the temple you studied at?
| d6 | Temple |
| 1 | Your temple is said to be the oldest surviving structure built to honor your god. |
| 2 | Acolytes of several like-minded deities all received instruction together in your temple. |
| 3 | You come from a temple famed for the brewery it operates. Some say you smell like one of its ales. |
| 4 | Your temple is a fortress and a proving ground that trains warrior-priests. |
| 5 | Your temple is a peaceful, humble place, filled with vegetable gardens and simple priests. |
| 6 | You served in a temple in the Outer Planes. |
@RollTable[Temples]{Open RollTable}
Many clerics have items among their personal gear that symbolize their faith, remind them of their vows, or othe}1aůrwise help to keep them on their chosen paths. Even though such an item is not imbued with divine power, it is vitally important to its owner because of what it represents.
| d6 | Keepsake |
| 1 | The finger bone of a saint |
| 2 | A metal-bound book that tells how to hunt and destroy infernal creatures |
| 3 | A pigâs whistle that reminds you of your humble and beloved mentor |
| 4 | A braid of hair woven from the tail of a unicorn |
| 5 | A scroll that describes how best to rid the world of necromancers |
| 6 | A runestone said to be blessed by your god |
@RollTable[Keepsakes]{Open RollTable}
No mortal soul is entirely free of second thoughts or doubt. Even a cleric must grapple with dark desires or the forbidden attraction of turning against the teachings of oneâs deity.
If you havenât considered this aspect of your character yet, see the table entries for some possibilities, or use them for inspiration. Your deep, dark secret might involve something you did (or are doing), or it could be rooted in the way you feel about the world and your role in it.
| d6 | Secret |
| 1 | An imp offers you counsel. You try to ignore the creature, but sometimes its advice is helpful. |
| 2 | You believe that, in the final analysis, the gods are nothing more than ultrapowerful mortal creatures. |
| 3 | You acknowledge the power of the gods, but you think that most events are dictated by pure chance. |
| 4 | Even though you can work divine magic, you have never truly felt the presence of a divine essence within yourself. |
| 5 | You are plagued by nightmares that you believe are sent by your god as punishment for some unknown transgression. |
| 6 | In times of despair, you feel that you are but a plaything of the gods, and you resent their remoteness. |

Clerics of these deities search for objects lost to the forces of darkness, liberate mines overrun by orcs, and uncover rare and wondrous materials necessary to create potent magic items.

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with heavy armor and smithâs tools.
At 1st level, you gain the ability to imbue magic into a weapon or armor. At the end of a long rest, you can touch one nonmagical object that is a suit of armor or a simple or martial weapon. Until the end of your next long rest or until you die, the object becomes a magic item, granting a +1 bonus to AC if itâs armor or a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls if itâs a weapon.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a long rest.
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create simple items.
You conduct an hour-long ritual that crafts a nonmagical item that must include some metal: a simple or martial weapon, a suit of armor, ten pieces of ammunition, a &Reference[set]{set} of tools, or another metal object (see chapter 5, âEquipment,â in the Playerâs Handbook for examples of these items). The creation is completed at the end of the hour, coalescing in an unoccupied space of your choice on a surface within 5 feet of you.
The thing you create can be something that is worth no more than 100 gp. As part of this ritual, you must lay out metal, which can include coins, with a value equal to the creation. The metal irretrievably coalesces and transforms into the creation at the ritualâs end, magically forming even nonmetal parts of the creation.
The ritual can create a duplicate of a nonmagical item that contains metal, such as a key, if you possess the original during the ritual.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-009.forge-soul.png\")
Starting at 6th level, your mastery of the forge grants you special abilities:
- You gain resistance to fire damage.
- While wearing heavy armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with the fiery power of the forge. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Saint of Forge and Fire
At 17th level, your blessed affinity with fire and metal becomes more powerful:
- You gain immunity to fire damage.
- While wearing heavy armor, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.

To these deities, death and the afterlife are a foundational part of the multiverse. To desecrate the peace of the dead is an abomination. Deities of the grave include Kelemvor, Wee Jas, the ancestral spirits of the Undying Court, Hades, Anubis, and Osiris. Followers of these deities seek to put wandering spirits to rest, destroy the undead, and ease the suffering of the dying. Their magic also allows them to stave off death for a time, particularly for a person who still has some great work to accomplish in the world. This is a delay of death, not a denial of it, for death will eventually get its due.

| 9th | @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.AntilifShell14II]{antilife shell}, @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.RaiseDead14IIIII]{raise dead} |
At 1st level, you gain the ability to manipulate the line between life and death. When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell to a creature at 0 hit points, you instead use the highest number possible for each die.
In addition, you learn the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.SpareTheDying14I]{spare the dying} cantrip, which doesnât count against the number of cleric cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action.
At 1st level, you gain the ability to occasionally sense the presence of the undead, whose existence is an insult to the natural cycle of life. As an action, you can open your awareness to magically detect undead. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any undead within 60 feet of you that isnât behind total cover and that isnât protected from &Reference[div]{divination} magic. This sense doesnât tell you anything about a creatureâs capabilities or identity.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to mark another creatureâs life force for termination.
As an action, you choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you, cursing it until the end of your next turn. The next time you or an ally of yours hits the cursed creature with an attack, the creature has vulnerability to all of that attackâs damage, and then the curse ends.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-011.sentinel.png\")
At 6th level, you gain the ability to impede deathâs progress. As a reaction when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you suffers a critical hit, you can turn that hit into a normal hit. Any effects triggered by a critical hit are canceled.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Starting at 17th level, you can seize a trace of vitality from a parting soul and use it to heal the living. When an enemy you can see dies within 60 feet of you, you or one creature of your choice that is within 60 feet of you regains hit points equal to the enemyâs number of Hit Dice. You can use this feature only if you arenât incapacitated. Once you use it, you canât do so again until the start of your next turn.

Even in death, each creature plays its part in maintaining the Great Balance. But now an imbalance grows, a force that seeks to hold sway over &Reference[nat]{nature}. This is the destructive behavior of the mortal races. The fartÖřŚ>ůher away from &Reference[nat]{nature} their actions take them, the more corrupting their influence becomes. As druids, we seek mainly to protect and educate, to preserve the Great Balance, but there are times when we must rise up against danger and eradicate it.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-012.druid.png\")
Druids are the caretakers of the natural world, and it is said that in time a druid becomes the voice of &Reference[nat]{nature}, speaking the truth that is too subtle for the general populace to hear. Many who become druids find that they naturally gravitate toward nature; its forces, cycles, and movements fill their minds and spirits with wonder and &Reference[ins]{insight}. Many sages and wise folk have studied &Reference[nat]{nature}, writing volumes about its mystery and power, but druids are a special kind of being: at some point, they begin to embody these natural forces, producing magical phenomena that link them to the spirit of &Reference[nat]{nature} and the flow of life. Because of their strange and mysterious power, druids are often revered, shunned, or considered dangerous by the people around them.
Your druid character might be a true worshiper of &Reference[nat]{nature}, one who has always scorned civilization and found solace in the wild. Or your character could be a child of the city who now strives to bring the civilized world into harmony with the wilderness. You can use the sections that follow to flesh out your druid, regardless of how your character came to the profession.
Some druids carry one or more items that are sacred to them or have deep personal significance. Such items are not necessarily magical, but every one is an object whose meaning connects the druidâs mind and heart to a profound concept or spiritual outlook.
When you decide what your characterâs treasured item is, think about giving it an origin story: how did you come by the item, and why is it important to you?
| d6 | Item |
| 1 | A twig from the meeting tree that stands in the center of your village |
| 2 | A vial of water from the source of a sacred river |
| 3 | Special herbs tied together in a bundle |
| 4 | A small bronze bowl engraved with animal images |
| 5 | A rattle made from a dried gourd and holly berries |
| 6 | A miniature golden sickle handed down to you by your mentor |
@RollTable[Treasured Items]{Open RollTable}
Many druids feel a strong link to a specific aspect of the natural world, such as a body of water, an animal, a type of tree, or some other sort of plant. You identify with your chosen aspect; by its behavior or its very &Reference[nat]{nature}, it sets an example that you seek to emulate.
| d6 | Guiding Aspect |
| 1 | Yew trees remind you of renewing your mind and spirit, letting the old die and the new spring forth. |
| 2 | Oak trees represent strength and vitality. Meditating under an oak fills your body and mind with resolve and fortitude. |
| 3 | The riverâs endless flow reminds you of the great span of the world. You seek to act with the long-term interests of &Reference[nat]{nature} in mind. |
| 4 | The sea is a constant, churning cauldron of power and chaos. It reminds you that accepting change is necessary to sustain yourself in the world. |
| 5 | The birds in the sky are evidence that even the smallest creatures can survive if they remain above the fray. |
| 6 | As demonstrated by the actions of the wolf, an individualâs strength is nothing compared to the power of the pack. |
@RollTable[Guiding Aspects]{Open RollTable}
Itâs not unusual for would-be druids to seek out (or be sought out by) instructors or elders who teach them the basics of their magical arts. Most druids who learn from a mentor begin their training at a young age, and the mentor has a vital role in shaping a studentâs attitudes and beliefs.
If your character received training from someone else, who or what was that individual, and what was the &Reference[nat]{nature} of your relationship? Did your mentor imbue you with a particular outlook or otherwise influence your approach to achieving the goals of your chosen path?
| d6 | Mentor |
| 1 | Your mentor was a wise treant who taught you to think in terms of years and decades rather than days or months. |
| 2 | You were tutored by a dryad who watched over a slumbering portal to the Abyss. During your training, you were tasked with watching for hidden threats to the world. |
| 3 | Your tutor always interacted with you in the form of a falcon. You never saw the tutorâs humanoid form. |
| 4 | You were one of several youngsters who were mentored by an old druid, until one of your fellow pupils betrayed your group and killed your master. |
| 5 | Your mentor has appeared to you only in visions. You have yet to meet this person, and you are not sure such a person exists in mortal form. |
| 6 | Your mentor was a werebear who taught you to treat all living things with equal regard. |

Druid Circles
At 2nd level, a druid gains the Druid Circle feature. The following options are available to a druid, in addition to those offered in the Playerâs Handbook: the Circle of Dreams and the Circle of the Shepherd.

Their magic mends wounds and brings joy to downcast hearts, and the realms they protect are gleaming, fruitful places, where dream and reality blur together and where the weary can find rest.
| Druid Level | Feature |
| 2nd | Balm of the Summer Court |
| 6th | Hearth of Moonlight and Shadow |
| 10th | Hidden Paths |
| 14th | Walker in Dreams |
At 2nd level, you become imbued with the blessings of the Summer Court. You are a font of energy that offers respite from injuries. You have a pool of fey energy represented by a number of d6s equal to your druid level.
As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of those dice equal to half your druid level or less. Roll the spent dice and add them together. The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total. The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.
You regain all expended dice when you finish a long rest.
Hearth of Moonlight and Shadow
At 6th level, home can be wherever you are. During a short or long rest, you can invoke the shadowy power of the Gloaming Court to help guard your respite. At the start of the rest, you touch a point in space, and an invisible, 30-foot-radius sphere of magic appears, centered on that point. Total cover blocks the sphere.
While within the sphere, you and your allies gain a +5 bonus to Dexterity (&Reference[ste]{Stealth}) and Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) checks, and any light from open flames in the sphere (a campfire, torches, or the like) isnât visible outside it.
The sphere vanishes at the end of the rest or when you leave the sphere.
Starting at 10th level, you can use the hidden, magical pathways that some fey use to traverse space in the blink of an eye. As a bonus action on your turn, you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Alternatively, you can use your action to teleport one willing creature you touch up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
At 14th level, the magic of the Feywild grants you the ability to travel mentally or physically through dreamlands.
When you finish a short rest, you can cast one of the following spells, without expending a spell slot or requiring material components: @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Dream14IIIIIIIII]{dream} (with you as the messenger), @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Scrying14IIIIIII]{scrying}, or @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.TeleporCircle14I]{teleportation circle}.
This use of @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.TeleporCircle14I]{teleportation circle} is special. Rather than opening a portal to a permanent teleportation circle, it opens a portal to the last location where you finished a long rest on your current plane of existence. If you havenât taken a long rest on your current plane, the spell fails but isnât wasted.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a long rest.

Members of this circle become adventurers to oppose forces that threaten their charges or to seek knowledge and power that will help them safeguard their charges better. Wherever these druids go, the spirits of the wilderness are with them.

You learn to speak, read, and write Sylvan. In addition, beasts can understand your speech, and you gain the ability to decipher their noises and motions. Most beasts lack the intelligence to convey or understand sophisticated concepts, but a friendly beast could relay what it has seen or heard in the recent past. This ability doesnât grant you friendship with beasts, though you can combine this ability with gifts to curry favor with them as you would with any nonplayer character.
Starting at 2nd level, you can call forth &Reference[nat]{nature} spirits to influence the world around you. As a bonus action, you can magically summon an incorporeal spirit to a point you can see within 60 feet of you. The spirit creates an aura in a 30-foot radius around that point. It counts as neither a creature nor an object, though it has the spectral appearance of the creature it represents.
As a bonus action, you can move the spirit up to 60 feet to a point you can see.
The spirit persists for 1 minute or until youâre incapacitated. Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
The effect of the spiritâs aura depends on the type of spirit you summon from the options below.
Bear Spirit. The bear spirit grants you and your allies its might and endurance. Each creature of your choice in the aura when the spirit appears gains temporary hit points equal to 5 + your druid level. In addition, you and your allies gain advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws while in the aura.
Hawk Spirit. The hawk spirit is a consummate hunter, aiding you and your allies with its keen sight. When a creature makes an attack roll against a target in the spiritâs aura, you can use your reaction to grant advantage to that attack roll. In addition, you and your allies have advantage on Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) checks while in the aura.
Unicorn Spirit. The unicorn spirit lends its protection to those nearby. You and your allies gain advantage on all ability checks made to detect creatures in the spiritâs aura. In addition, if you cast a spell using a spell slot that restores hit points to any creature inside or outside the aura, each creature of your choice in the aura also regains hit points equal to your druid level.
Starting at 6th level, beasts and fey that you conjure are more resilient than normal. Any beast or fey summoned or created by a spell that you cast gains the following benefits:
- The creature appears with more hit points than normal: 2 extra hit points per Hit Die it has.
- The damage from its natural weapons is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Beginning at 10th level, your Spirit Totem safeguards the beasts and fey that you call forth with your magic. When a beast or fey that you summoned or created with a spell ends its turn in your Spirit Totem aura, that creature regains a number of hit points equal to half your druid level.
Starting at 14th level, the &Reference[nat]{nature} spirits you commune with protect you when you are the most defenseless. If you are reduced to 0 hit points or are incapacitated against your will, you can immediately gain the benefits of @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.ConjureAnimals14]{conjure animals} as if it were cast using a 9th-level spell slot. It summons four beasts of your choice that are challenge rating 2 or lower. The conjured beasts appear within 20 feet of you. If they receive no commands from you, they protect you from harm and attack your foes. The spell lasts for 1 hour, requiring no concentration, or until you dismiss it (no action required).
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a long rest.

The Wild Shape feature in the Playerâs Handbook lets yĺřéůou transform into a beast that youâve seen. That rule gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility, making it easy to amass an array of beast form options for yourself, but you must abide by the limitations in the Beast Shapes table in that book.
When you gain Wild Shape as a 2nd-level druid, you might wonder which beasts youâve already seen. The following tables organize beasts from the Monster Manual according to the beastsâ most likely environments. Consider the environment your druid grew up in, then consult the appropriate table for a list of animals that your druid has probably seen by 2nd level.
These tables can also help you and your DM determine which animals you might see on your travels. In addition, the tables include each beastâs challenge rating and note whether a beast has a flying or swimming speed. This information will help you determine whether you qualify to assume that beastâs form.
The tables include all the individual beasts that are eligible for Wild Shape (up to a challenge rating of 1) or the Circle Forms feature of the Circle of the Moon (up to a challenge rating of 6).

![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-017.fighter.png\")
Of all the adventurers in the worlds of D&D, the fighter is perhaps the greatest paradox. On the one hand, a singular feature of the class is that no two fighters ply their craft in quite the same way; their weapons, armor, and tactics differ across a vast spectrum. On the other hand, regardless of the tools and methods one uses, at the heart of every fighterâs motivation lies the same basic truth: it is better to wound than to be wounded.
Although some adventuring fighters risk their lives fighting for glory or treasure, others are primarily concerned with the welfare of others. They put more value on the well-being of the society, the village, or the group than on their own safety. Even if thereâs gold in the offing, the true reward for most fighters comes from sending enemies to their doom.
The sections below offer ways to add a little depth and a few personal touches to your fighter character.
Fighters typically do battle for a cause. Some fight on behalf of kingdoms besieged by monsters, while others quest only for personal glory. In either case, a fighter often displays a heraldic sign that represents that cause, either adopting the symbol of a nation or a royal line, or creating a crest to represent oneâs self-interest.
Your character could be affiliated with an organization or a cause, and thus might already travel under a banner of some sort. If thatâs not the case, consider devising a heraldic sign that symbolizes an aspect of your &Reference[nat]{nature} or speaks to what you see as your purpose in the world.
| d6 | Sign |
| 1 | A rampant golden dragon on a green field, representing valor and a quest for wealth |
| 2 | The fist of a storm giant clutching lightning before a storm cloud, symbolizing wrath and power |
| 3 | Crossed greatswords in front of a castle gate, signifying the defense of a city or kingdom |
| 4 | A skull with a dagger through it, representing the doom you bring to your enemies |
| 5 | A phoenix in a ring of fire, an expression of an indomitable spirit |
| 6 | Three drops of blood beneath a horizontal sword blade on a black background, symbolizing three foes you have sworn to kill |
@RollTable[Heraldic Signs]{Open RollTable}
Some fighters are natural-born combatants who have a talent for surviving in battle. Others learned the basics of their combat prowess in their formative years from spending time in a military or some other martial organization, when they were taught by the leaders of the group.
A third type of fighter comes from the ranks of those who received one-on-one instruction from an accomplished veteran of the craft. That instructor was, or perhaps still is, well versed in a certain aspect of combat that relates to the studentâs background.
If you decide that your character had an individual instructor, what is that personâs specialty? Do you emulate your instructor in how you fight, or did you take the instructorâs teachings and adapt them to your own purposes?
| d6 | Instructor |
| 1 | Gladiator. Your instructor was a slave who fought for freedom in the arena, or one who willingly chose the gladiatorâs life to earn money and fame. |
| 2 | Military. Your trainer served with a group of soldiers and knows much about working as a team. |
| 3 | City Watch. Crowd control and peacekeeping are your instructorâs specialties. |
| 4 | Tribal Warrior. Your instructor grew up in a tribe, where fighting for oneâs life was practically an every-day occurrence. |
| 5 | Street Fighter. Your trainer excels at urban combat, combining close-quarters work with silence and efficiency. |
| 6 | Weapon Master. Your mentor helped you to become one with your chosen weapon, by imparting highly specialized knowledge of how to wield it most effectively. |
@RollTable[Instructors]{Open RollTable}
Many fighters distinguish themselves from their peers by adopting and perfecting a particular style or method of waging combat. Although this style might be a natural outgrowth of a fighterâs personality, thatâs not always the case â someoneâs approach to the world in general does not necessarily dictate how that person operates when lives are on the line.
Do you have a combat style that mirrors your outlook on life, or is something else inside you unleashed when weapons are drawn?
| d6 | Style |
| 1 | Elegant. You move with precise grace and total control, never using more energy than you need. |
| 2 | &Reference[brutal]{Brutal}. Your attacks rain down like hammer blows, meant to splinter bone or send blood flying. |
| 3 | Cunning. You dart in to attack at just the right moment and use small-scale tactics to tilt the odds in your favor. |
| 4 | Effortless. You rarely perspire or display anything other than a stoic expression in battle. |
| 5 | Energetic. You sing and laugh during combat as your spirit soars. You are happiest when you have a foe in front of you and a weapon in hand. |
| 6 | Sinister. You scowl and sneer while fighting, and you enjoy mocking your foes as you defeat them. |

Martial Archetypes
At 3rd level, a fighter gains the Martial Archetype feature. The following options are available to a fighter, in addition to those offered in the Playerâs Handbook: the Arcane Archer, the Cavalier, and the Samurai.

Arcane Archers are some of the most elite warriors among the elves. They stand watch over the fringes of elven domains, keeping a keen eye out for trespassers and using magic-infused arrows to defeat monsters and invaders before they can reach elven settlements. Over the centuries, the methods of these elf archers have been learned by members of other races who can also balance arcane aptitude with archery.
| Fighter Level | Feature |
| 3rd | Arcane Archer Lore, Arcane Shot (2 options) |
| 7th | Curving Shot, Magic Arrow, Arcane Shot (3 options) |
| 10th | Arcane Shot (4 options) |
| 15th | Ever-Ready Shot, Arcane Shot (5 options) |
| 18th | Arcane Shot (6 options, improved shots) |
At 3rd level, you learn magical theory or some of the secrets of &Reference[nat]{nature} â typical for practitioners of this elven martial tradition. You choose to gain proficiency in either the &Reference[arc]{Arcana} or the &Reference[nat]{Nature} skill, and you choose to learn either the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Prestidigitati14]{prestidigitation} or the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Druidcraft14IIII]{druidcraft} cantrip.
At 3rd level, you learn to unleash special magical effects with some of your shots. When you gain this feature, you learn two Arcane Shot options of your choice (see â@UUID[Compendium.dnd-beyond.beyond-journals.JournalEntry.z0K8Hz5QzqqZsauE.JournalEntryPage.2lPAHzB9JRDFgHbb#ArcaneShotOptions]{Arcane Shot Options}â below).
Once per turn when you fire an arrow from a shortbow or longbow as part of the Attack action, you can apply one of your Arcane Shot options to that arrow. You decide to use the option when the arrow hits a creature, unless the option doesnât involve an attack roll. You have two uses of this ability, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.
You gain an additional Arcane Shot option of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class: 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level. Each option also improves when you become an 18th-level fighter.
At 7th level, you gain the ability to infuse arrows with magic. Whenever you fire a nonmagical arrow from a shortbow or longbow, you can make it magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. The magic fades from the arrow immediately after it hits or misses its target.
At 7th level, you learn how to direct an errant arrow toward a new target. When you make an attack roll with a magic arrow and miss, you can use a bonus action to reroll the attack roll against a different target within 60 feet of the original target.
Starting at 15th level, your magical archery is available whenever battle starts. If you roll initiative and have no uses of Arcane Shot remaining, you regain one use of it.
The Arcane Shot feature lets you choose options for it at certain levels. The options are presented here in alphabetical order. They are all magical effects, and each one is associated with one of the schools of magic.
If an option requires a saving throw, your Arcane Shot save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.
Banishing Arrow. You use &Reference[abj]{abjuration} magic to try to temporarily banish your target to a harmless location in the Feywild. The creature hit by the arrow must also succeed on a [[/save cha format=long]] or be banished. While banished in this way, the targetâs speed is 0, and it is incapacitated. At the end of its next turn, the target reappears in the space it vacated or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
After you reach 18th level in this class, a target also takes 2d6 force damage when the arrow hits it.
Beguiling Arrow. Your &Reference[enc]{enchantment} magic causes this arrow to temporarily beguile its target. The creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 psychic damage, and choose one of your allies within 30 feet of the target. The target must succeed on a [[/save wis format=long]], or it is charmed by the chosen ally until the start of your next turn. This effect ends early if the chosen ally attacks the charmed target, deals damage to it, or forces it to make a saving throw.
The psychic damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
Bursting Arrow. You imbue your arrow with force energy drawn from the school of &Reference[evo]{evocation}. The energy detonates after your attack. Immediately after the arrow hits the creature, the target and all other creatures within 10 feet of it take 2d6 force damage each.
The force damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
Enfeebling Arrow. You weave necromantic magic into your arrow. The creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 necrotic damage. The target must also succeed on a [[/save con format=long]], or the damage dealt by its weapon attacks is halved until the start of your next turn.
The necrotic damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
Grasping Arrow. When this arrow strikes its target, &Reference[con]{conjuration} magic creates grasping, poisonous brambles, which wrap around the target. The creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 poison damage, its speed is reduced by 10 feet, and it takes 2d6 slashing damage the first time on each turn it moves 1 foot or more without teleporting. The target or any creature that can reach it can use its action to remove the brambles with a successful Strength (&Reference[ath]{Athletics}) check against your Arcane Shot save DC. Otherwise, the brambles last for 1 minute or until you use this option again.
The poison damage and slashing damage both increase to 4d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
Piercing Arrow. You use &Reference[trs]{transmutation} magic to give your arrow an ethereal quality. When you use this option, you donât make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, the arrow shoots forward in a line, which is 1 foot wide and 30 feet long, before disappearing. The arrow passes harmlessly through objects, ignoring cover. Each creature in that line must make a [[/save dex format=long]]. On a failed save, a creature takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow, plus an extra 1d6 piercing damage. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage.
The piercing damage increases to 2d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
Seeking Arrow. Using &Reference[div]{divination} magic, you grant your arrow the ability to seek out a target. When you use this option, you donât make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, choose one creature you have seen in the past minute. The arrow flies toward that creature, moving around corners if necessary and ignoring three-quarters cover and half cover. If the target is within the weaponâs range and there is a path large enough for the arrow to travel to the target, the target must make a [[/save dex format=long]]. Otherwise, the arrow disappears after traveling as far as it can. On a failed save, the target takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow, plus an extra 1d6 force damage, and you learn the targetâs current location. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, and you donât learn its location.
The force damage increases to 2d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
Shadow Arrow. You weave &Reference[ill]{illusion} magic into your arrow, causing it to occlude your foeâs vision with shadows. The creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 psychic damage, and it must succeed on a [[/save wis format=long]] or be unable to see anything farther than 5 feet away until the start of your next turn.
The psychic damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 18th level in this class.
So there are different names for different sorts of people who swing swords? Why? Let me try: big sword swinger and tiny sword swinger. No, that sounds like itâs the size of the sword that matters. How about: big meat bag with a sword and little meat bag with a sword!

Usually born among the nobility and raised at court, a Cavalier is equally at home leading a cavalry charge or exchanging repartee at a state dinner. Cavaliers also learn how to guard those in their charge from harm, often serving as the protectors of their superiors and of the weak. Compelled to right wrongs or earn prestige, many of these fighters leave their lives of comfort to embark on glorious adventure.
| Fighter Level | Feature |
| 3rd | Bonus Proficiency, Born to the Saddle, Unwavering Mark |
| 7th | Warding Maneuver |
| 10th | Hold the Line |
| 15th | Ferocious Charger |
| 18th | Vigilant Defender |
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: &Reference[ani]{Animal Handling}, &Reference[his]{History}, &Reference[ins]{Insight}, &Reference[prf]{Performance}, or &Reference[per]{Persuasion}. Alternatively, you learn one language of your choice.
Starting at 3rd level, your mastery as a rider becomes apparent. You have advantage on saving throws made to avoid falling off your mount. If you fall off your mount and descend no more than 10 feet, you can land on your feet if youâre not incapacitated.
Finally, mounting or dismounting a creature costs you only 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed.
Starting at 3rd level, you can menace your foes, foiling their attacks and punishing them for harming others. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can mark the creature until the end of your next turn. This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or you die, or if someone else marks the creature.
While it is within 5 feet of you, a creature marked by you has disadvantage on any attack roll that doesnât target you.
In addition, if a creature marked by you deals damage to anyone other than you, you can make a special melee weapon attack against the marked creature as a bonus action on your next turn. You have advantage on the attack roll, and if it hits, the attackâs weapon deals extra damage to the target equal to half your fighter level.
Regardless of the number of creatures you mark, you can make this special attack a number of times equal to your Strength modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
At 7th level, you learn to fend off strikes directed at you, your mount, or other creatures nearby. If you or a creature you can see within 5 feet of you is hit by an attack, you can roll 1d8 as a reaction if youâre wielding a melee weapon or a shield. Roll the die, and add the number rolled to the targetâs AC against that attack. If the attack still hits, the target has resistance against the attackâs damage.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
At 10th level, you become a master of locking down your enemies. Creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they move 5 feet or more while within your reach, and if you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, the targetâs speed is reduced to 0 until the end of the current turn.
Starting at 15th level, you can run down your foes, whether youâre mounted or not. If you move at least 10 feet in a straight line right before attacking a creature and you hit it with the attack, that target must succeed on a [[/save str format=long]] (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) or be knocked prone. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns.
Starting at 18th level, you respond to danger with extraordinary vigilance. In combat, you get a special reaction that you can take once on every creatureâs turn, except your turn. You can use this special reaction only to make an opportunity attack, and you canât use it on the same turn that you take your normal reaction.
CAVALIERS, SAMURAI, AND &Reference[his]{HISTORY}
While both cavaliers and samurai existed in the real world, our inspirations for both fighter archetypes are taken from popular culture (folk tales, movies, and comic books), not from &Reference[his]{history}. Our intent is to capture the cinematic, heroic element of both archetypes in the game, rather than create an accurate historical representation of either one.

| 7th | Elegant Courtier |
| 10th | Tireless Spirit, Fighting Spirit (10 temp. hp) |
| 15th | Rapid Strike, Fighting Spirit (15 temp. hp) |
| 18th | Strength before Death |
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: &Reference[his]{History}, &Reference[ins]{Insight}, &Reference[prf]{Performance}, or &Reference[per]{Persuasion}. Alternatively, you learn one language of your choice.
Starting at 3rd level, your intensity in battle can shield you and help you strike true. As a bonus action on your turn, you can give yourself advantage on weapon attack rolls until the end of the current turn. When you do so, you also gain 5 temporary hit points. The number of temporary hit points increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 10 at 10th level and 15 at 15th level.
You can use this feature three times, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
Starting at 7th level, your discipline and attention to detail allow you to excel in social situations. Whenever you make a Charisma (&Reference[per]{Persuasion}) check, you gain a bonus to the check equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Your self-control also causes you to gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. If you already have this proficiency, you instead gain proficiency in Intelligence or Charisma saving throws (your choice).
Starting at 10th level, when you roll initiative and have no uses of Fighting Spirit remaining, you regain one use.
Starting at 15th level, you learn to trade accuracy for &Reference[swift]{swift} strikes. If you take the Attack action on your turn and have advantage on an attack roll against one of the targets, you can forgo the advantage for that roll to make an additional weapon attack against that target, as part of the same action. You can do so no more than once per turn.
Starting at 18th level, your fighting spirit can delay the grasp of death. If you take damage that reduces you to 0 hit points and doesnât kill you outright, you can use your reaction to delay falling unconscious, and you can immediately take an extra turn, interrupting the current turn. While you have 0 hit points during that extra turn, taking damage causes death saving throw failures as normal, and three death saving throw failures can still kill you. When the extra turn ends, you fall unconscious if you still have 0 hit points.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a long rest.

Monks walk a path of contradiction. They study their art as a wizard does, and like a wizard, they wear no armor and typically eschew weapons. Yet they are deadly combatants, their abilities on a par with those of a raging barbarian or a superbly trained fighter. Monks embrace this seeming contradiction, for it speaks to the core of all monastic study. By coming to know oneself completely, one learns much of the wider world.
A monkâs focus on inner mastery leads many such individuals to become detached from society, more concerned with their personal experience than with happenings elsewhere. Adventuring monks are a rare breed of an already rare type of character, taking their quest for perfection beyond the walls of the monastery into the world at large.
Playing a monk character offers many intriguing opportunities to try something different. To distinguish your monk character even further, consider the options in the sections that follow.
A monk studies in a monastery in preparation for a life of asceticism. Most of those who enter a monastery make it their home for the rest of their lives, with the exception of adventurers and others who have reason to leave. For those individuals, a monastery might serve as a refuge between excursions to the world or as a source of support in times of need.
What sort of place was your monastery, and where is it located? Did attending it contribute to your experience in an unusual or distinctive way?
| d6 | Monastery |
| 1 | Your monastery is carved out of a mountainside, where it looms over a treacherous pass. |
| 2 | Your monastery is high in the branches of an immense tree in the Feywild. |
| 3 | Your monastery was founded long ago by a cloud giant and is inside a cloud castle that can be reached only by flying. |
| 4 | Your monastery is built beside a volcanic system of hot springs, geysers, and sulfur pools. You regularly received visits from azer traders. |
| 5 | Your monastery was founded by gnomes and is an underground labyrinth of tunnels and rooms. |
| 6 | Your monastery was carved from an iceberg in the frozen reaches of the world. |

Even in the monastic lifestyle, which eschews materialism and personal possessions, symbolism plays an important part in defining the identity of an order. Some monastic orders treat certain creatures with special regard, either because the creature is tied to the orderâs &Reference[his]{history} or because it serves as an example of a quality the monks seek to emulate.
If your characterâs monastery had a special icon, you might wear a crude image of the creature somewhere inconspicuous on your clothing to serve as an identifying mark. Or perhaps your orderâs icon does not have a physical form but is expressed through a gesture or a posture that you adopt, and which other monks might know how to interpret.
| d6 | Icon |
| 1 | Monkey. Quick reflexes and the ability to travel through the treetops are two of the reasons why your order admires the monkey. |
| 2 | Dragon Turtle. The monks of your seaside monastery venerate the dragon turtle, reciting ancient prayers and offering garlands of flowers to honor this living spirit of the sea. |
| 3 | Ki-rin. Your monastery sees its main purpose as watching over and protecting the land in the manner of the ki-rin. |
| 4 | Owlbear. The monks of your monastery revere a family of owlbears and have coexisted with them for generations. |
| 5 | Hydra. Your order singles out the hydra for its ability to unleash several attacks simultaneously. |
| 6 | Dragon. A dragon once laired within your monastery. Its influence remains long after its departure. |

During your studies, you were likely under the tutelage of a master who imparted to you the precepts of the order. Your master was the one most responsible for shaping your understanding of the martial arts and your attitude toward the world. What sort of person was your master, and how did your relationship with your master affect you?
| d6 | Master |
| 1 | Your master was a tyrant whom you had to defeat in single combat to complete your instruction. |
| 2 | Your master was kindly and taught you to pursue the cause of peace. |
| 3 | Your master was merciless in pushing you to your limits. You nearly lost an eye during one especially &Reference[brutal]{brutal} practice session. |
| 4 | Your master seemed goodhearted while tutoring you, but betrayed your monastery in the end. |
| 5 | Your master was cold and distant. You suspect that the two of you might be related. |
| 6 | Your master was kind and generous, never critical of your progress. Nevertheless, you feel you never fully lived up to the expectations placed on you. |

| Monk Level | Feature |

| 6th | Tipsy Sway |
| 11th | Drunkardâs Luck |
| 17th | Intoxicated Frenzy |
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the &Reference[prf]{Performance} skill if you donât already have it. Your martial arts technique mixes combat training with the precision of a dancer and the antics of a jester. You also gain proficiency with brewerâs supplies if you donât already have it.
At 3rd level, you learn how to twist and turn quickly as part of your Flurry of Blows. Whenever you use Flurry of Blows, you gain the benefit of the Disengage action, and your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of the current turn.
Starting at 6th level, you can move in sudden, swaying ways. You gain the following benefits.
Leap to Your Feet. When youâre prone, you can stand up by spending 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed.
Redirect Attack. When a creature misses you with a melee attack roll, you can spend 1 ki point as a reaction to cause that attack to hit one creature of your choice, other than the attacker, that you can see within 5 feet of you.
Starting at 11th level, you always seem to get a lucky bounce at the right moment. When you make an ability check, an attack roll, or a saving throw and have disadvantage on the roll, you can spend 2 ki points to cancel the disadvantage for that roll.
At 17th level, you gain the ability to make an overwhelming number of attacks against a group of enemies. When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can make up to three additional attacks with it (up to a total of five Flurry of Blows attacks), provided that each Flurry of Blows attack targets a different creature this turn.

Founded on a mastery of sword fighting, the tradition has expanded to include many different weapons.
A kensei sees a weapon in much the same way a calligrapher or painter regards a pen or brush. Whatever the weapon, the kensei views it as a tool used to express the beauty and precision of the martial arts. That such mastery makes a kensei a peerless warrior is but a side effect of intense devotion, practice, and study.
| Monk Level | Feature |
| 3rd | Path of the Kensei (2 weapons) |

| 11th | Sharpen the Blade, Path of the Kensei (4 weapons) |
| 17th | Unerring Accuracy, Path of the Kensei (5 weapons) |
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your special martial arts training leads you to master the use of certain weapons. This path also includes instruction in the deft strokes of calligraphy or painting. You gain the following benefits.
Kensei Weapons. Choose two types of weapons to be your kensei weapons: one melee weapon and one ranged weapon. Each of these weapons can be any simple or martial weapon that lacks the heavy and special properties. The longbow is also a valid choice. You gain proficiency with these weapons if you donât already have it. Weapons of the chosen types are monk weapons for you. Many of this traditionâs features work only with your kensei weapons. When you reach 6th, 11th, and 17th level in this class, you can choose another type of weapon â either melee or ranged â to be a kensei weapon for you, following the criteria above.
Agile Parry. If you make an unarmed strike as part of the Attack action on your turn and are holding a kensei weapon, you can use it to defend yourself if it is a melee weapon. You gain a +2 bonus to AC until the start of your next turn, while the weapon is in your hand and you arenât incapacitated.
Kenseiâs Shot. You can use a bonus action on your turn to make your ranged attacks with a kensei weapon more deadly. When you do so, any target you hit with a ranged attack using a kensei weapon takes an extra 1d4 damage of the weaponâs type. You retain this benefit until the end of the current turn.
Way of the Brush. You gain proficiency with your choice of calligrapherâs supplies or painterâs supplies.
At 6th level, you extend your ki into your kensei weapons, granting you the following benefits.
Magic Kensei Weapons. Your attacks with your kensei weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Deft Strike. When you hit a target with a kensei weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target equal to your Martial Arts die. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns.
At 11th level, you gain the ability to augment your weapons further with your ki. As a bonus action, you can expend up to 3 ki points to grant one kensei weapon you touch a bonus to attack and damage rolls when you attack with it. The bonus equals the number of ki points you spent. This bonus lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature again. This feature has no effect on a magic weapon that already has a bonus to attack and damage rolls.
At 17th level, your mastery of weapons grants you extraordinary accuracy. If you miss with an attack roll using a monk weapon on your turn, you can reroll it. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns.

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can hurl searing bolts of magical radiance.
You gain a new attack option that you can use with the Attack action. This special attack is a ranged spell attack with a range of 30 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your Dexterity modifier to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is radiant, and its damage die is a d4. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
When you take the Attack action on your turn and use this special attack as part of it, you can spend 1 ki point to make the special attack twice as a bonus action.
When you gain the Extra Attack feature, this special attack can be used for any of the attacks you make as part of the Attack action.
At 6th level, you gain the ability to channel your ki into searing waves of energy. Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 2 ki points to cast the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.BurningHands14II]{burning hands} spell as a bonus action.
You can spend additional ki points to cast @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.BurningHands14II]{burning hands} as a higher-level spell. Each additional ki point you spend increases the spellâs level by 1. The maximum number of ki points (2 plus any additional points) that you can spend on the spell equals half your monk level.
At 11th level, you gain the ability to create an orb of light that erupts into a devastating explosion. As an action, you magically create an orb and hurl it at a point you choose within 150 feet, where it erupts into a sphere of radiant light for a brief but deadly instant.
Each creature in that 20-foot-radius sphere must succeed on a [[/save con format=long]] or take 2d6 radiant damage. A creature doesnât need to make the save if the creature is behind total cover that is opaque.
You can increase the sphereâs damage by spending ki points. Each point you spend, to a maximum of 3, increases the damage by 2d6.
At 17th level, you become wreathed in a luminous, magical aura. You shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. You can extinguish or restore the light as a bonus action.
If a creature hits you with a melee attack while this light shines, you can use your reaction to deal radiant damage to the creature. The radiant damage equals 5 + your Wisdom modifier.

The true worth of a paladin is measured not in foes defeated or dungeons plundered. It is measured in lives saved and hearts turned to the causes of mercy and justice.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-021.paladin.png\")
A paladin is a living embodiment of an oath â a promise or a vow made manifest in the person of a holy warrior who has the skill and the determination to see the cause through to the end. Some paladins devote themselves expressly to protecting the innocent and spreading justice in the world, while others resolve to attain that goal by conquering those who stand defiant and bringing them under the rule of law.
Although no paladin in the world could be described as typical, a number of them are narrow-minded do-gooders who refuse to tolerate even the smallest deviation from their own outlook. Paladins who take up the adventuring life, however, rarely remain so rigid in their attitudes â if only to keep from alienating their companions.
You can flesh out your paladin character by using the suggestions below. Itâs important to keep in mind that most paladins arenât robots. They have doubts and prejudices and harbor contradictory thoughts just as any other character does. Some are compelled by an internal motivation that might sometimes be at odds with the principles of their oaths.
The precepts of a paladinâs oath provide purpose to the character and dictate an ultimate goal or an overall intent that the paladin abides by and advances. Aside from that, some paladins are driven by a personal goal that either complements or transcends the dictates of their oaths. Paladins who swear different oaths might have the same personal goal, differing only in how they apply that goal to their actions when upholding their oaths.
If your paladin character has a personal goal, it might be drawn from some life event and thus not directly tied to the oath.
| d6 | Goal |
| 1 | Peace. You fight so that future generations will not have to. |
| 2 | Revenge. Your oath is the vehicle through which you will right an ancient wrong. |
| 3 | Duty. You will live up to what you have sworn to do, or die trying. |
| 4 | Leadership. You will win a great battle that bards will sing about, and in so doing, you will become an example to inspire others. |
| 5 | Faith. You know your path is righteous, or else the gods would not have &Reference[set]{set} you upon it. |
| 6 | Glory. You will lead the world into a grand new era, one that will be branded with your name. |
@RollTable[Personal Goals]{Open RollTable}
Paladins are mindful of the influence of symbols, and many of them adopt or design an artistic device that bears a distinctive image. Your symbol exemplifies the oath you have taken and communicates that message to those around you, friend and foe alike.
Your symbol might be displayed on a banner, a flag, or your clothing for all to see. Or it could be less obvious, such as a trinket or a token that you carry concealed on your person.
| d6 | Symbol |
| 1 | A dragon, emblematic of your nobility in peace and your ferocity in combat |
| 2 | A clenched fist, because you are always ready to fight for your beliefs |
| 3 | An upraised open hand, indicating your preference for diplomacy over combat |
| 4 | A red heart, showing the world your commitment to justice |
| 5 | A black heart, signifying that emotions such as pity do not sway your dedication to your oath |
| 6 | An unblinking eye, meaning that you are ever alert to all threats against your cause |
@RollTable[Symbols]{Open RollTable}
Their adherence to a sacred oath demands that paladins take an active stance in carrying their beliefs into the world. This activity naturally leads to conflict with creatures or entities that oppose those beliefs. Among those opponents, one often stands out as a paladinâs most persistent or most formidable foe â a nemesis whose presence or influence is a constant factor in a paladinâs life.
Your paladin character might have an enemy that dates from the days before you took up your path. Or you could be a target because when you became a paladin, you immediately attracted the attention of those that would do you in. If you have a nemesis, who or what is it? Whom among your enemies do you consider to be the biggest threat to achieving your goals?
| d6 | Nemesis |
| 1 | A mighty orc war chief who threatens to overrun and destroy everything you hold sacred |
| 2 | A fiend or a celestial, the agent of a power of the Outer Planes, who has been charged with corrupting or redeeming you, as appropriate |
| 3 | A dragon whose servants dog your steps |
| 4 | A high priest who sees you as a misguided fool and wants you to abandon your &Reference[rel]{religion} |
| 5 | A rival paladin who trained with you but became an oath-breaker and holds you responsible |
| 6 | A vampire who has sworn revenge against all paladins after being defeated by one |
@RollTable[Nemeses]{Open RollTable}
Although paladins are dedicated to their oaths, they are mortals, and thus they are flawed. Many of them exhibit a type of behavior or hold to an attitude that is not in keeping with the highest ideals of their calling.
What is the temptation that your character succumbs to or finds it difficult to resist?
| d6 | Temptation |
| 1 | Fury. When your anger is roused, you have trouble thinking straight, and you fear you might do something youâll regret. |
| 2 | Pride. Your deeds are noteworthy, and no one takes note of them more often than you. |
| 3 | Lust. You canât resist an attractive face and a pleasant smile. |
| 4 | Envy. You are mindful of what some famous folk have accomplished, and you feel inadequate when your deeds donât compare to theirs. |
| 5 | Despair. You consider the great strength of the enemies you must defeat, and at times you see no way to achieve final victory. |
| 6 | Greed. Regardless of how much glory and treasure you amass, itâs never enough for you. |

Sacred Oaths
At 3rd level, a paladin gains the Sacred Oath feature. The following options are available to a paladin, in addition to those offered in the Playerâs Handbook: the Oath of Conquest and the Oath of Redemption.

The Oath of Conquest calls to paladins who seek glory in battle and the subjugation of their enemies. It isnât enough for these paladins to establish order. They must crush the forces of chaos. Sometimes called knight tyrants or iron mongers, those who swear this oath gather into grim orders that serve gods or philosophies of war and well-ordered might.
Some of these paladins go so far as to consort with the powers of the Nine Hells, valuing the rule of law over the balm of mercy. The archdevil Bel, warlord of Avernus, counts many of these paladins â called hell knights â as his most ardent supporters. Hell knights cover their armor with trophies taken from fallen eďMý ůnemies, a grim warning to any who dare oppose them and the decrees of their lords. These knights are often most fiercely resisted by other paladins of this oath, who believe that the hell knights have wandered too far into darkness.
A paladin who takes this oath has the tenets of conquest seared on the upper arm.
Douse the Flame of Hope. It is not enough to merely defeat an enemy in battle. Your victory must be so overwhelming that your enemiesâ will to fight is shattered forever. A blade can end a life. Fear can end an empire.
Rule with an Iron Fist. Once you have conquered, tolerate no dissent. Your word is law. Those who obey it shall be favored. Those who defy it shall be punished as an example to all who might follow.
Strength Above All. You shall rule until a stronger one arises. Then you must grow mightier and meet the challenge, or fall to your own ruin.

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.
Conquering Presence. You can use your Channel Divinity to exude a terrifying presence. As an action, you force each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you to make a [[/save wis format=long]]. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. The frightened creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Guided Strike. You can use your Channel Divinity to strike with supernatural accuracy. When you make an attack roll, you can use your Channel Divinity to gain a +10 bonus to the roll. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the attack hits or misses.
Starting at 7th level, you constantly emanate a menacing aura while youâre not incapacitated. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover.
If a creature is frightened of you, its speed is reduced to 0 while in the aura, and that creature takes psychic damage equal to half your paladin level if it starts its turn there.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Starting at 15th level, those who dare to strike you are psychically punished for their audacity. Whenever a creature hits you with an attack, that creature takes psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) if youâre not incapacitated.
At 20th level, you gain the ability to harness extraordinary martial prowess. As an action, you can magically become an avatar of conquest, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:
- You have resistance to all damage.
- When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional attack as part of that action.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a long rest.

The Oath of Redemption sets a paladin on a difficult path, one that requires a holy warrior to use violence only as a last resort. Paladins who dedicate themselves to this oath believe that any person can be redeemed and that the path of benevolence and justice is one that anyone can walk. These paladins face evil creatures in the hope of turning their foes to the light, and they slay their enemies only when such a deed will clearly save other lives. Paladins who follow this path are known as redeemers.
While redeemers are idealists, they are no fools. Redeemers know that undead, demons, devils, and other supernatural threats can be inherently evil. Against such foes, paladins who swear this oath bring the full wrath of their weapons and spells to bear. Yet the redeemers still pray that, one day, even creatures of wickedness will invite their own redemption.
The tenets of the Oath of Redemption hold a paladin to a high standard of peace and justice.
Peace. Violence is a weapon of last resort. Diplomacy and understanding are the paths to long-lasting peace.
Innocence. All people begin life in an innocent state, and it is their environment or the influence of dark forces that drives them to evil. By setting the proper example, and working to heal the wounds of a deeply flawed world, you can &Reference[set]{set} anyone on a righteous path.
Patience. Change takes time. Those who have walked the path of the wicked must be given reminders to keep them honest and true. Once you have planted the seed of righteousness in a creature, you must work day after day to allow that seed to survive and flourish.
Wisdom. Your heart and mind must stay clear, for eventually you will be forced to admit defeat. While every creature can be redeemed, some are so far along the path of evil that you have no choice but to end their lives for the greater good. Any such action must be carefully weighed and the consequences fully understood, but once you have made the decision, follow through with it knowing your path is just.
Redemption. So you feel bad about having done something, and then you have to do something to feel better? Why donât you just kill and eat someone? That always makes me feel better.

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Emissary of Peace. You can use your Channel Divinity to augment your presence with divine power. As a bonus action, you grant yourself a +5 bonus to Charisma (&Reference[per]{Persuasion}) checks for the next 10 minutes.
Rebuke the Violent. You can use your Channel Divinity to rebuke those who use violence. Immediately after an attacker within 30 feet of you deals damage with an attack against a creature other than you, you can use your reaction to force the attacker to make a [[/save wis format=long]]. On a failed save, the attacker takes radiant damage equal to the damage it just dealt. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.
Starting at 7th level, you can shield others from harm at the cost of your own health. When a creature within 10 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to magically take that damage, instead of that creature taking it. This feature doesnât transfer any other effects that might accompany the damage, and this damage canât be reduced in any way.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Starting at 15th level, a holy presence mends your wounds in battle. You regain hit points equal to 1d6 + half your paladin level if you end your turn in combat with fewer than half of your hit points remaining and you arenât incapacitated.
At 20th level, you become an avatar of peace, which gives you two benefits:
- You have resistance to all damage dealt by other creatures (their attacks, spells, and other effects).
If you attack a creature, cast a spell on it, or deal damage to it by any means but this feature, neither benefit works against that creature until you finish a long rest.

I spend a lot of my life away from civilization, keeping to its fringes to protect it. Donât assume that because I donât bend the knee to your king that I havenât done more to protect him than all his knights put together.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-024.ranger.png\")
Rangers are free-minded wanderers and seekers who patrol the edges of civilized territory, turning back the denizens of the wild lands beyond. It is a thankless job, since their efforts are rarely understood and almost never rewarded. Yet rangers persist in their duties, never doubting that their work makes the world a safer place.
A relationship with civilization informs every rangerâs personality and &Reference[his]{history}. Some rangers see themselves as enforcers of the law and bringers of justice on civilizationâs frontier, answering to no sovereign power. Others are survivalists who eschew civilization altogether. They vanquish monsters to keep themselves safe while they live in and travel through the perilous wild areas of the world. If their efforts also benefit the kingdoms and other civilized realms that they avoid, so be it.
If youâre creating or playing a ranger character, the following sections offer ideas for embellishing the character and enhancing your roleplaying experience.
A rangerâs view of the world begins (and sometimes ends) with that characterâs outlook toward civilized folk and the places they occupy. Some rangers have an attitude toward civilization thatâs deeply rooted in disdain, while others pity the people they have sworn to protect â though on the battlefield, itâs impossible to tell the difference between one ranger and another. Indeed, to those who have seen them operate and been the beneficiaries of their prowess, it scarcely matters why rangers do what they do. That said, no two rangers are likely to express their opinions on any matter in the same way.
If you havenât yet thought about the details of your characterâs worldview, consider putting a finer point on things by summarizing that viewpoint in a short statement (such as the entries on the following table). How might that feeling affect the way you conduct yourself?
| d6 | View |
| 1 | Towns and cities are the best places for those who canât survive on their own. |
| 2 | The advancement of civilization is the best way to thwart chaos, but its reach must be monitored. |
| 3 | Towns and cities are a necessary evil, but once the wilderness is purged of supernatural threats, we will need them no more. |
| 4 | Walls are for cowards, who huddle behind them while others do the work of making the world safe. |
| 5 | Visiting a town is not unpleasant, but after a few days I feel the irresistible call to return to the wild. |
| 6 | Cities breed weakness by isolating folk from the harsh lessons of the wild. |
@RollTable[Views of the World]{Open RollTable}
All rangers, regardless of how they came to take up the profession, have a strong connection to the natural world and its various terrains. For some rangers, the wilderness is where they grew up, either as a result of being born there or moving there at a young age. For other rangers, civilization was originally home, but the wilderness became a second homeland.
Think of your characterâs backstory and decide what terrain feels most like home, whether or not you were born there. What does that terrain say about your personality? Does it influence which spells you choose to learn? Have your experiences there shaped who your favored enemies are?
Homelands
| d6 | Homeland |
| 1 | You patrolled an ancient forest, darkened and corrupted by several crossings to the Shadowfell. |
| 2 | As part of a group of nomads, you acquired the skills for surviving in the desert. |
| 3 | Your early life in the Underdark prepared you for the challenges of combating its denizens. |
| 4 | You dwelled on the edge of a swamp, in an area imperiled by land creatures as well as aquatic ones. |
| 5 | Because you grew up among the peaks, finding the best path through the mountains is second &Reference[nat]{nature} to you. |
| 6 | You wandered the far north, learning how to protect yourself and prosper in a realm overrun by ice. |
@RollTable[Homelands]{Open RollTable}
Every ranger begins with a favored enemy (or two). The determination of a favored enemy might be tied to a specific event in the characterâs early life, or it might be entirely a matter of choice.
What spurred your character to select a particular enemy? Was the choice made because of tradition or curiosity, or do you have a grudge to settle?
| d6 | Enemy |
| 1 | You seek revenge on natureâs behalf for the great transgressions your foe has committed. |
| 2 | Your forebears or predecessors fought these creatures, and so shall you. |
| 3 | You bear no enmity toward your foe. You stalk such creatures as a hunter tracks down a wild animal. |
| 4 | You find your foe fascinating, and you collect books of tales and &Reference[his]{history} concerning it. |
| 5 | You collect tokens of your fallen enemies to remind you of each kill. |
| 6 | You respect your chosen enemy, and you see your battles as a test of respective skills. |

Ranger Archetypes
At 3rd level, a ranger gains the Ranger Archetype feature. The following options are available to a ranger, in addition to those offered in the Playerâs Handbook: the Gloom Stalker, the Horizon Walker, and the Monster Slayer.

Such rangers are often found in the Underdark, but they will go any place where evil lurks in the shadows.

| Ranger Level | Feature |
| 3rd | Gloom Stalker Magic, Dread Ambusher, Umbral Sight |
| 7th | Iron Mind |
| 11th | Stalkerâs Flurry |
| 15th | Shadowy Dodge |
Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Gloom Stalker Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesnât count against the number of ranger spells you know.

At 3rd level, you master the art of the ambush. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier.
At the start of your first turn of each combat, your walking speed increases by 10 feet, which lasts until the end of that turn. If you take the Attack action on that turn, you can make one additional weapon attack as part of that action. If that attack hits, the target takes an extra 1d8 damage of the weaponâs damage type.
At 3rd level, you gain &Reference[darkvision]{darkvision} out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have &Reference[darkvision]{darkvision} from your race, its range increases by 30 feet.
You are also adept at evading creatures that rely on &Reference[darkvision]{darkvision}. While in darkness, you are invisible to any creature that relies on &Reference[darkvision]{darkvision} to see you in that darkness.
By 7th level, you have honed your ability to resist the mind-altering powers of your prey. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. If you already have this proficiency, you instead gain proficiency in Intelligence or Charisma saving throws (your choice).
At 11th level, you learn to attack with such unexpected speed that you can turn a miss into another strike. Once on each of your turns when you miss with a weapon attack, you can make another weapon attack as part of the same action.
Shadowy Dodge
Starting at 15th level, you can dodge in unforeseen ways, with wisps of supernatural shadow around you. Whenever a creature makes an attack roll against you and doesnât have advantage on the roll, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on it. You must use this feature before you know the outcome of the attack roll.

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to magically sense the presence of a planar portal. As an action, you detect the distance and direction to the closest planar portal within 1 mile of you.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
See the âPlanar Travelâ section in chapter 2 of the Dungeon Masterâs Guide for examples of planar portals.
At 3rd level, you learn to draw on the energy of the multiverse to augment your attacks.
As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The next time you hit that creature on this turn with a weapon attack, all damage dealt by the attack becomes force damage, and the creature takes an extra 1d8 force damage from the attack. When you reach 11th level in this class, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
At 7th level, you learn to step through the Ethereal Plane. As a bonus action, you can cast the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Etherealness14II]{etherealness} spell with this feature, without expending a spell slot, but the spell ends at the end of the current turn.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
At 11th level, you gain the ability to pass between the planes in the blink of an eye. When you take the Attack action, you can teleport up to 10 feet before each attack to an unoccupied space you can see.
If you attack at least two different creatures with the action, you can make one additional attack with it against a third creature.
At 15th level, your ability to move between planes enables you to slip through the planar boundaries to lessen the harm done to you during battle. When you take damage from an attack, you can use your reaction to give yourself resistance to all of that attackâs damage on this turn.

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to peer at a creature and magically discern how best to hurt it. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are. If the creature is hidden from &Reference[div]{divination} magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your ire on one foe, increasing the harm you inflict on it. As a bonus action, you designate one creature you can see within 60 feet of you as the target of this feature. The first time each turn that you hit that target with a weapon attack, it takes an extra 1d6 damage from the weapon.
This benefit lasts until you finish a short or long rest. It ends early if you designate a different creature.
At 7th level, you gain extra resilience against your preyâs assaults on your mind and body. Whenever the target of your Slayerâs Prey forces you to make a saving throw and whenever you make an ability check to escape that targetâs grapple, add 1d6 to your roll.
At 11th level, you gain the ability to thwart someone elseâs magic. When you see a creature casting a spell or teleporting within 60 feet of you, you can use your reaction to try to magically foil it. The creature must succeed on a [[/save wis format=long]] against your spell save DC, or its spell or teleport fails and is wasted.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
At 15th level, you gain the ability to counterattack when your prey tries to sabotage you. If the target of your Slayerâs Prey forces you to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction to make one weapon attack against the quarry. You make this attack immediately before making the saving throw. If your attack hits, your save automatically succeeds, in addition to the attackâs normal effects.

When brute force wonât get the job done, or when magic isnât available or appropriate, the rogue rises to the fore. With skills tied to &Reference[ste]{stealth}, subterfuge, and trickery, rogues can get into and out of trouble in ways that few other characters can emulate.
Some rogues who turn to adventuring are former criminals who have decided that dodging monsters is preferable to remaining one step ahead of the law. Others are professional killers in search of a profitable application of their talents between contracts. Some simply love the thrill of overcoming any challenge that stands in their way.
On adventures, a rogue is likely to mix an outwardly cautious approach â few rogues enjoy combat â with a ravenous hunger for loot. Most of the time, in a rogueâs mind, taking up arms against a creature is not about killing the creature but about becoming the new owner of its treasure.
The following sections explore certain facets of what it means to be a rogue, which you can use to add depth to your character.
Most of what rogues do revolves around obtaining treasure and preventing others from doing the same. Little gets in the way of attaining those goals, except that many rogues are enticed away from that path by a compulsion that clouds their thinking â an irresistible need that must be satisfied, even if doing so is risky.
A rogueâs guilty pleasure could be the acquisition of a physical item, something to be experienced, or a way of conducting oneself at certain times. One rogue might not be able to pass up any loot made of silver, for instance, even if said loot is hanging around the neck of a castle guard. Another one canât go through a day in the city without lifting a purse or two, just to keep in practice.
Whatâs the one form of temptation that your rogue character canât resist when the opportunity presents itself, even if giving into it might mean trouble for you and your companions?
| d6 | Pleasure |
| 1 | Large gems |
| 2 | A smile from a pretty face |
| 3 | A new ring for your finger |
| 4 | The chance to deflate someoneâs ego |
| 5 | The finest food and drink |
| 6 | Adding to your collection of exotic coins |
@RollTable[Guilty Pleasures]{Open RollTable}
Naturally, those who enforce the law are bound to come up against those who break it, and itâs the rare rogue who isnât featured on at least one wanted poster. Beyond that, itâs in the &Reference[nat]{nature} of their profession that rogues often come into contact with criminal elements, whether out of choice or necessity. Some of those people can be adversaries too, and theyâre likely to be harder to deal with than the average member of the city watch.
If your characterâs backstory doesnât already include a personage of this sort, you could work with your DM to come up with a reason why an adversary has appeared in your life. Perhaps youâve been the subject of scrutiny for a while from someone who wants to use you for nefarious purposes and has just now become known to you. Such an incident could be the basis for an upcoming adventure.
Does your rogue character have an adversary who also happens to be a criminal? If so, how is this relationship affecting your life?
| d6 | Adversary |
| 1 | The pirate captain on whose ship you once served; what you call moving on, the captain calls mutiny |
| 2 | A master spy to whom you unwittingly fed bad information, which led to the assassination of the wrong target |
| 3 | The master of the local thievesâ guild, who wants you to join the organization or leave town |
| 4 | An art collector who uses illegal means to acquire masterpieces |
| 5 | A fence who uses you as a messenger to &Reference[set]{set} up illicit meetings |
| 6 | The proprietor of an illegal pit fighting arena where you once took bets |
@RollTable[Adversaries]{Open RollTable}
Few rogues make it far in life before needing someoneâs help, which means thereafter owing that benefactor a significant debt.
If your characterâs backstory doesnât already include a personage of this sort, you could work with your DM to determine why a benefactor has appeared in your life. Perhaps you benefited from something your benefactor did for you without realizing who was responsible, and that person has now just become known to you. Who helped you in the past, whether or not you knew it at the time, and what do you owe that person as recompense?
| d6 | Benefactor |
| 1 | A smuggler kept you from getting caught but lost a valuable shipment in doing so. Now you owe that person an equally valuable favor. |
| 2 | The Beggar King has hidden you from your pursuers many times, in return for future considerations. |
| 3 | A magistrate once kept you out of jail in return for information on a powerful crime lord. |
| 4 | Your parents used their savings to bail you out of trouble in your younger days and are now destitute. |
| 5 | A dragon didnât eat you when it had a chance, and in return you promised to &Reference[set]{set} aside choice pieces of treasure for it. |
| 6 | A druid once helped you out of a tight spot; now any random animal you see could be that benefactor, perhaps come to claim a return favor. |

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you develop a talent for picking out lies. Whenever you make a Wisdom (&Reference[ins]{Insight}) check to determine whether a creature is lying, treat a roll of 7 or lower on the d20 as an 8.
Starting at 3rd level, you can use a bonus action to make a Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) check to spot a hidden creature or object or to make an Intelligence (&Reference[inv]{Investigation}) check to uncover or decipher clues.
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to decipher an opponentâs tactics and develop a counter to them. As a bonus action, you can make a Wisdom (&Reference[ins]{Insight}) check against a creature you can see that isnât incapacitated, contested by the targetâs Charisma (&Reference[dec]{Deception}) check. If you succeed, you can use your Sneak Attack against that target even if you donât have advantage on the attack roll, but not if you have disadvantage on it.
This benefit lasts for 1 minute or until you successfully use this feature against a different target.
Starting at 9th level, you have advantage on any Wisdom (&Reference[prc]{Perception}) or Intelligence (&Reference[inv]{Investigation}) check if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn.
Beginning at 13th level, your senses are almost impossible to foil. As an action, you sense the presence of illusions, shapechangers not in their original form, and other magic designed to deceive the senses within 30 feet of you, provided you arenât blinded or deafened. You sense that an effect is attempting to trick you, but you gain no &Reference[ins]{insight} into what is hidden or into its true &Reference[nat]{nature}.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
At 17th level, you learn to exploit a creatureâs weaknesses by carefully studying its tactics and movement. While your Insightful Fighting feature applies to a creature, your Sneak Attack damage against that creature increases by 3d6.

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit, the forgery kit, and one gaming &Reference[set]{set} of your choice. You also learn two languages of your choice.
Additionally, you can unerringly mimic the speech patterns and accent of a creature that you hear speak for at least 1 minute, enabling you to pass yourself off as a native speaker of a particular land, provided that you know the language.
Starting at 3rd level, you can use the Help action as a bonus action. Additionally, when you use the Help action to aid an ally in attacking a creature, the target of that attack can be within 30 feet of you, rather than within 5 feet of you, if the target can see or hear you.
Starting at 9th level, if you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with another creature outside combat, you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice:
- Intelligence score
- Wisdom score
- Charisma score
At the DMâs option, you might also realize you know a piece of the creatureâs &Reference[his]{history} or one of its personality traits, if it has any.
Beginning at 13th level, you can sometimes cause another creature to suffer an attack meant for you. When you are targeted by an attack while a creature within 5 feet of you is granting you cover against that attack, you can use your reaction to have the attack target that creature instead of you.
Starting at 17th level, your thoughts canât be read by telepathy or other means, unless you allow it. You can present false thoughts by succeeding on a Charisma (&Reference[dec]{Deception}) check contested by the mind readerâs Wisdom (&Reference[ins]{Insight}) check.
Additionally, no matter what you say, magic that would determine if you are telling the truth indicates you are being truthful if you so choose, and you canât be compelled to tell the truth by magic.

Starting at 3rd level, you are difficult to pin down during a fight. You can move up to half your speed as a reaction when an enemy ends its turn within 5 feet of you. This movement doesnât provoke opportunity attacks.
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the &Reference[nat]{Nature} and &Reference[sur]{Survival} skills if you donât already have it. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of those proficiencies.
At 9th level, your walking speed increases by 10 feet. If you have a climbing or swimming speed, this increase applies to that speed as well.
Starting at 13th level, you excel at leading ambushes and acting first in a fight.
You have advantage on initiative rolls. In addition, the first creature you hit during the first round of a combat becomes easier for you and others to strike; attack rolls against that target have advantage until the start of your next turn.
Starting at 17th level, you can strike with deadly speed. If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional attack as a bonus action. This attack can benefit from your Sneak Attack even if you have already used it this turn, but you canât use your Sneak Attack against the same target more than once in a turn.

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal. During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature canât make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn.
Starting at 3rd level, your confidence propels you into battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Charisma modifier.
You also gain an additional way to use your Sneak Attack; you donât need advantage on the attack roll to use your Sneak Attack against a creature if you are within 5 feet of it, no other creatures are within 5 feet of you, and you donât have disadvantage on the attack roll. All the other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you.
At 9th level, your charm becomes extraordinarily beguiling. As an action, you can make a Charisma (&Reference[per]{Persuasion}) check contested by a creatureâs Wisdom (&Reference[ins]{Insight}) check. The creature must be able to hear you, and the two of you must share a language.
If you succeed on the check and the creature is hostile to you, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you and canât make opportunity attacks against targets other than you. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until one of your companions attacks the target or affects it with a spell, or until you and the target are more than 60 feet apart.
If you succeed on the check and the creature isnât hostile to you, it is charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed, it regards you as a friendly acquaintance. This effect ends immediately if you or your companions do anything harmful to it.
Starting at 13th level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to gain advantage on the next Dexterity (&Reference[acr]{Acrobatics}) or Strength (&Reference[ath]{Athletics}) check you make during the same turn.
Beginning at 17th level, your mastery of the blade lets you turn failure into success in combat. If you miss with an attack roll, you can roll it again with advantage. Once you do so, you canât use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

Practice and study are for amateurs. True power is a birthright.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-028.sorcerer.png\")
When it comes to drawing forth their abilities in times of need, sorcerers have it easy compared to other characters. Their power not only rests within them, but it likely takes some effort to keep it at bay. Every sorcerer is born to the role, or stumbles into it through cosmic chance. Unlike other characters, who must actively learn, embrace, and pursue their talents, sorcerers have their power thrust upon them.
Because the idea of an innately magical being traveling among them does not sit well with many folk, sorcerers tend to breed mistrust and suspicion in others they come across. Nonetheless, many sorcerers succeed in overcoming that prejudice through deeds that benefit their less magically gifted contemporaries.
Sorcerers are often defined by the events surrounding the manifestation of their power. For those who receive it as an expected birthright, its appearance is a cause for celebration. Other sorcerers are treated as outcasts, banished from their homes after the sudden, terrifying arrival of their abilities.
Playing a sorcerer character can be as rewarding as it is challenging. The sections below offer suggestions on how to flesh out and personalize your persona.
Some sorcerers understand where their power came from, based on how their abilities manifested. Others can only speculate, since their powers came to them in a way that suggests no particular cause.
Does your character know the source of your magical power? Does it tie back to some distant relative, a cosmic event, or blind chance? If your sorcerer doesnât know where their power arose from, your DM can use this table (or select an origin) and reveal it to you when the information plays a role in the campaign.
| d6 | Origin |
| 1 | Your power arises from your familyâs bloodline. You are related to some powerful creature, or you inherited a blessing or a curse. |
| 2 | You are the reincarnation of a being from another plane of existence. |
| 3 | A powerful entity entered the world. Its magic changed you. |
| 4 | Your birth was prophesied in an ancient text, and you are foretold to use your power for terrible ends. |
| 5 | You are the product of generations of careful, selective breeding. |
| 6 | You were made in a vat by an alchemist. |
@RollTable[Arcane Origins]{Open RollTable}
When a new sorcerer enters the world, either at birth or later when oneâs power becomes evident, the consequences of that event depend greatly on how its witnesses react to what they have seen.
When your sorcererâs powers appeared, how did the world around you respond? Were other people supportive, fearful, or somewhere in between?
| d6 | Reaction |
| 1 | Your powers are seen as a great blessing by those around you, and you are expected to use them in service to your community. |
| 2 | Your powers caused destruction and even a death when they became evident, and you were treated as a criminal. |
| 3 | Your neighbors hate and fear your power, causing them to shun you. |
| 4 | You came to the attention of a sinister cult that plans on exploiting your abilities. |
| 5 | People around you believe that your powers are a curse levied on your family for a past transgression. |
| 6 | Your powers are believed to be tied to an ancient line of mad kings that supposedly ended in a bloody revolt over a century ago. |
@RollTable[Reactions]{Open RollTable}
A sorcerer at rest is almost indistinguishable from a normal person; itâs only when their magic flies forth that sorcerers reveal their true &Reference[nat]{nature}. Even so, many sorcerers have a subtle but telling physical trait that sets them apart from other folk.
If your sorcerer has a supernatural mark, it might be one thatâs easily concealed, or it could be a source of pride that you keep on constant display.
| d6 | Mark |
| 1 | Your eyes are an unusual color, such as red. |
| 2 | You have an extra toe on one foot. |
| 3 | One of your ears is noticeably larger than the other. |

As the world well knows, some sorcerers are better than others at controlling their spellcasting. Sometimes a wild display of magic gone awry emanates from a sorcerer who casts a spell. But even when oneâs magic goes off as planned, the act of casting is often accompanied by a telltale sign that makes it clear where that magical energy came from.
When your sorcerer character casts a spell, does the effort reveal itself in a sign of sorcery? Is this sign tied to your origin or some other aspect of who you are, or is it a seemingly random phenomenon?
| d6 | Sign |
| 1 | You deliver the verbal components of your spells in the booming voice of a titan. |
| 2 | For a moment after you cast a spell, the area around you grows dark and gloomy. |
| 3 | You sweat profusely while casting a spell and for a few seconds thereafter. |
| 4 | Your hair and garments are briefly buffeted about, as if by a breeze, whenever you call forth a spell. |
| 5 | If you are standing when you cast a spell, you rise six inches into the air and gently float back down. |
| 6 | Illusory blue flames wreathe your head as you begin your casting, then abruptly disappear. |

At 1st level, a sorcerer gains the Sorcerous Origin feature. The following options are available to a sorcerer, in addition to those offered in the Playerâs Handbook: Divine Soul, Shadow Magic, and Storm Sorcery.

Or your birth might align with an ancient prophecy, marking you as a servant of the gods or a chosen vessel of divine magic.
A Divine Soul, with a natural magnetism, is seen as a threat by some religious hierarchies. As an outsider who commands sacred power, a Divine Soul can undermine an existing order by claiming a direct tie to the divine.
In some cultures, only those who can claim the power of a Divine Soul may command religious power. In these lands, ecclesiastical positions are dominated by a few bloodlines and preserved over generations.

Your link to the divine allows you to learn spells from the cleric class. When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a sorcerer cantrip or a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from the cleric spell list or the sorcerer spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a sorcerer spell for you.
In addition, choose an affinity for the source of your divine power: good, evil, law, chaos, or neutrality. You learn an additional spell based on that affinity, as shown below. It is a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesnât count against your number of sorcerer spells known. If you later replace this spell, you must replace it with a spell from the cleric spell list.
| Affinity | Spell |
| Good | @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.CureWounds14IIII]{cure wounds} |

Starting at 1st level, divine power guards your destiny. If you fail a saving throw or miss with an attack roll, you can roll 2d4 and add it to the total, possibly changing the outcome. Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Starting at 6th level, the divine energy coursing through you can empower healing spells. Whenever you or an ally within 5 feet of you rolls dice to determine the number of hit points a spell restores, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll any number of those dice once, provided you arenât incapacitated. You can use this feature only once per turn.
Starting at 14th level, you can use a bonus action to manifest a pair of spectral wings from your back. While the wings are present, you have a flying speed of 30 feet. The wings last until youâre incapacitated, you die, or you dismiss them as a bonus action.
The affinity you chose for your Divine Magic feature determines the appearance of the spectral wings: eagle wings for good or law, bat wings for evil or chaos, and dragonfly wings for neutrality.
At 18th level, you gain the ability to overcome grievous injuries. As a bonus action when you have fewer than half of your hit points remaining, you can regain a number of hit points equal to half your hit point maximum.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a long rest.

Shadow Magic Features
| Sorcerer Level | Feature |
| 1st | Eyes of the Dark, Strength of the Grave |
| 3rd | Eyes of the Dark (@Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Darkness14IIIIII]{darkness}) |
| 6th | Hound of Ill Omen |
| 14th | Shadow Walk |
| 18th | Umbral Form |
Starting at 1st level, you have &Reference[darkvision]{darkvision} with a range of 120 feet.
When you reach 3rd level in this class, you learn the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Darkness14IIIIII]{darkness} spell, which doesnât count against your number of sorcerer spells known. In addition, you can cast it by spending 2 sorcery points or by expending a spell slot. If you cast it with sorcery points, you can see through the darkness created by the spell.
Starting at 1st level, your existence in a twilight state between life and death makes you difficult to defeat. When damage reduces you to 0 hit points, you can make a [[/save cha format=long]] (DC 5 + the damage taken). On a success, you instead drop to 1 hit point. You canât use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit points by radiant damage or by a critical hit.
After the saving throw succeeds, you canât use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
At 6th level, you gain the ability to call forth a howling creature of darkness to harass your foes. As a bonus action, you can spend 3 sorcery points to magically summon a hound of ill omen to target one creature you can see within 120 feet of you. The hound uses the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbDirWol4775812]{dire wolf}âs statistics (see the Monster Manual or appendix C in the Playerâs Handbook), with the following changes:
- The hound is size Medium, not Large, and it counts as a monstrosity, not a beast.
- It appears with a number of temporary hit points equal to half your sorcerer level.
- It can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. The hound takes 5 force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
The hound appears in an unoccupied space of your choice within 30 feet of the target. Roll initiative for the hound. On its turn, it can move only toward its target by the most direct route, and it can use its action only to attack its target. The hound can make opportunity attacks, but only against its target. Additionally, while the hound is within 5 feet of the target, the target has disadvantage on saving throws against any spell you cast. The hound disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points, if its target is reduced to 0 hit points, or after 5 minutes.
Shadow Walk
At 14th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness.
Starting at 18th level, you can spend 6 sorcery points as a bonus action to magically transform yourself into a shadowy form. In this form, you have resistance to all damage except force and radiant damage, and you can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. You take 5 force damage if you end your turn inside an object.
You remain in this form for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you die, or if you dismiss it as a bonus action.

The arcane magic you command is infused with elemental air. You can speak, read, and write Primordial. Knowing this language allows you to understand and be understood by those who speak its dialects: Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran.
Starting at 1st level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to cause whirling gusts of elemental air to briefly surround you, immediately before or after you cast a spell of 1st level or higher. Doing so allows you to fly up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.
At 6th level, you gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. In addition, whenever you start casting a spell of 1st level or higher that deals lightning or thunder damage, stormy magic erupts from you. This eruption causes creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you to take lightning or thunder damage (choose each time this ability activates) equal to half your sorcerer level.
At 6th level, you gain the ability to subtly control the weather around you.
If it is raining, you can use an action to cause the rain to stop falling in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on you. You can end this effect as a bonus action.
If it is windy, you can use a bonus action each round to choose the direction that the wind blows in a 100-foot-radius sphere centered on you. The wind blows in that direction until the end of your next turn. This feature doesnât alter the speed of the wind.
Starting at 14th level, when you are hit by a melee attack, you can use your reaction to deal lightning damage to the attacker. The damage equals your sorcerer level. The attacker must also make a [[/save str format=long]] against your sorcerer spell save DC. On a failed save, the attacker is pushed in a straight line up to 20 feet away from you.
At 18th level, you gain immunity to lightning and thunder damage.
You also gain a magical flying speed of 60 feet. As an action, you can reduce your flying speed to 30 feet for 1 hour and choose a number of creatures within 30 feet of you equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. The chosen creatures gain a magical flying speed of 30 feet for 1 hour. Once you reduce your flying speed in this way, you canât do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Warlocks are finders and keepers of secrets. They &Reference[push]{push} at the edge of our understanding of the world, always seeking to expand their expertise. Where sages or wizards might heed a clear sign of danger and end their research, a warlock plunges ahead, heedless of the cost. Thus, it takes a peculiar mixture of intelligence, curiosity, and recklessness to produce a warlock. Many folk would describe that combination as evidence of madness. Warlocks see it as a demonstration of bravery.
Warlocks are defined by two elements that work in concert to forge their path into this class. The first element is the event or circumstances that led to a warlockâs entering into a pact with a planar entity. The second one is the &Reference[nat]{nature} of the entity a warlock is bound to. Unlike clerics, who typically embrace a deity and that godâs ethos, a warlock might have no love for a patron, or vice versa.
The sections that follow provide ways to embellish a warlock character that could generate some intriguing story and roleplaying opportunities.
Every relationship is a two-way street, but in the case of warlocks and their patrons itâs not necessarily true that both sides of the street are the same width or made of the same stuff. The feeling that a warlock holds for their patron, whether positive or negative, might be reciprocated by the patron, or the two participants in the pact might view one another with opposing emotions.
When you determine the attitude your warlock character holds toward your patron, also consider how things look from the patronâs perspective. How does your patron behave toward you? Is your patron a friend and ally, or an enemy that grants you power only because you forced a pact upon it?
| d6 | Attitude |
| 1 | Your patron has guided and helped your family for generations and is kindly toward you. |
| 2 | Each interaction with your capricious patron is a surprise, whether pleasant or painful. |
| 3 | Your patron is the spirit of a long-dead hero who sees your pact as a way for it to continue to influence the world. |
| 4 | Your patron is a strict disciplinarian but treats you with a measure of respect. |
| 5 | Your patron tricked you into a pact and treats you as a slave. |
| 6 | You are mostly left to your own devices with no interference from your patron. Sometimes you dread the demands it will make when it does appear. |
@RollTable[Patron Attitudes]{Open RollTable}
A pact can range from a loose agreement to a formal contract with lengthy, detailed clauses and lists of requirements. The terms of a pact â what a warlock must do to receive a patronâs favor â are always dictated by the patron. On occasion, those terms include a special proviso that might seem odd or whimsical, but warlocks take these dictates as seriously as they do the other requirements of their pacts.
Does your character have a pact that requires you to change your behavior in an unusual or seemingly frivolous way? Even if your patron hasnât imposed such a duty on you already, thatâs not to say it couldnât still happen.
| d6 | Term |
| 1 | When directed, you must take immediate action against a specific enemy of your patron. |
| 2 | Your pact tests your willpower; you are required to abstain from alcohol and other intoxicants. |
| 3 | At least once a day, you must inscribe or carve your patronâs name or symbol on the wall of a building. |
| 4 | You must occasionally conduct bizarre rituals to maintain your pact. |
| 5 | You can never wear the same outfit twice, since your patron finds such predictability to be boring. |
| 6 | When you use an eldritch invocation, you must speak your patronâs name aloud or risk incurring its displeasure. |
@RollTable[Special Terms]{Open RollTable}
Some patrons make a habit of, and often enjoy, marking the warlocks under their sway in some fashion. A binding mark makes it clear â to those who know about such things â that the individual in question is bound to the patronâs service. A warlock might take advantage of such a mark, claiming it as proof of oneâs pact, or might want to keep it under wraps (if possible) to avoid the difficulties it might bring.
If your warlockâs pact comes with a binding mark, how you feel about displaying it probably depends on the &Reference[nat]{nature} of your relationship with the one who gave it to you. Is the mark a source of pride or something you are secretly ashamed of?
| d6 | Mark |
| 1 | One of your eyes looks the same as one of your patronâs eyes. |
| 2 | Each time you wake up, the small blemish on your face appears in a different place. |
| 3 | You display outward symptoms of a disease but suffer no ill effects from it. |
| 4 | Your tongue is an unnatural color. |
| 5 | You have a vestigial tail. |
| 6 | Your nose glows in the dark. |

Celestial Expanded Spells
| Spell Level | Spells |
| 1st | @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.CureWounds14IIII]{cure wounds}, @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.GuidingBolt14III]{guiding bolt} |
| 2nd | @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.FlamingSphere14I]{flaming sphere}, @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.LesserRestora14I]{lesser restoration} |

| 5th | @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.FlameStrike14III]{flame strike}, @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.GreaterRestora14]{greater restoration} |
At 1st level, you learn the @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Light14IIIIIIIII]{light} and @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.SacredFlame14III]{sacred flame} cantrips. They count as warlock cantrips for you, but they donât count against your number of cantrips known.
At 1st level, you gain the ability to channel celestial energy to heal wounds. You have a pool of d6s that you spend to fuel this healing. The number of dice in the pool equals 1 + your warlock level.
As a bonus action, you can heal one creature you can see within 60 feet of you, spending dice from the pool. The maximum number of dice you can spend at once equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of one die). Roll the dice you spend, add them together, and restore a number of hit points equal to the total.
Your pool regains all expended dice when you finish a long rest.
Starting at 6th level, your link to the Celestial allows you to serve as a conduit for radiant energy. You have resistance to radiant damage, and when you cast a spell that deals radiant or fire damage, you can add your Charisma modifier to one radiant or fire damage roll of that spell against one of its targets.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-034.doll.png\")
Starting at 10th level, you gain temporary hit points whenever you finish a short or long rest. These temporary hit points equal your warlock level + your Charisma modifier. Additionally, choose up to five creatures you can see at the end of the rest. Those creatures each gain temporary hit points equal to half your warlock level + your Charisma modifier.
Starting at 14th level, the radiant energy you channel allows you to resist death. When you have to make a death saving throw at the start of your turn, you can instead spring back to your feet with a burst of radiant energy. You regain hit points equal to half your hit point maximum, and then you stand up if you so choose. Each creature of your choice that is within 30 feet of you takes radiant damage equal to 2d8 + your Charisma modifier, and it is blinded until the end of the current turn.
Once you use this feature, you canât use it again until you finish a long rest.

The mighty sword Blackrazor is the most notable of these weapons, which have been spread across the multiverse over the ages. The shadowy force behind these weapons can offer power to warlocks who form pacts with it. Many hexblade warlocks create weapons that emulate those formed in the Shadowfell. Others forgo such arms, content to weave the dark magic of that plane into their spellcasting.
Because the Raven Queen is known to have forged the first of these weapons, many sages speculate that she and the force are one and that the weapons, along with hexblade warlocks, are tools she uses to manipulate events on the Material Plane to her inscrutable ends.
Hexblade. What a cool name! So is your sword evil or cursed or something? But youâre evil, right? ⌠Okay, now I donât like the name. Names arenât cool if they donât make sense. Like mine: The Xanathar. See? Itâs cool, and it makes sense!

Expanded Spell List
The Hexblade lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
Hexblade Expanded Spells
| Spell Level | Spells |
| 1st | @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Shield14IIIIIIII]{shield}, @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.WrathfuSmite14II]{wrathful smite} |

Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to place a baleful curse on someone. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1 minute. The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:
- You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
- Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
You canât use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.
The influence of your patron also allows you to mystically channel your will through a particular weapon. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. If you later gain the Pact of the Blade feature, this benefit extends to every pact weapon you conjure with that feature, no matter the weaponâs type.
Starting at 6th level, you can curse the soul of a person you slay, temporarily binding it to your service. When you slay a humanoid, you can cause its spirit to rise from its corpse as a @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-monsters.ddbSpecte5195210]{specter}, the statistics for which are in the Monster Manual. When the specter appears, it gains temporary hit points equal to half your warlock level. Roll initiative for the specter, which has its own turns. It obeys your verbal commands, and it gains a special bonus to its attack rolls equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +0).
The specter remains in your service until the end of your next long rest, at which point it vanishes to the afterlife.
Once you bind a specter with this feature, you canât use the feature again until you finish a long rest.
At 10th level, your hex grows more powerful. If the target cursed by your Hexbladeâs Curse hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll a d6. On a 4 or higher, the attack instead misses you, regardless of its roll.
Starting at 14th level, you can spread your Hexbladeâs Curse from a slain creature to another creature. When the creature cursed by your Hexbladeâs Curse dies, you can apply the curse to a different creature you can see within 30 feet of you, provided you arenât incapacitated. When you apply the curse in this way, you donât regain hit points from the death of the previously cursed creature.

Prerequisite: 7th level
As an action, you gain the ability to see through solid objects to a range of 30 feet. Within that range, you have &Reference[darkvision]{darkvision} if you donât already have it.

Once you use this invocation, you canât use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Prerequisite: 5th level
You can breathe underwater, and you gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.

You can use any weapon you summon with your Pact of the Blade feature as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.
In addition, the weapon gains a +1 bonus to its attack and damage rolls, unless it is a magic weapon that already has a bonus to those rolls.
Finally, the weapon you conjure can be a shortbow, longbow, light crossbow, or heavy crossbow.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-036.warlock-things.png\")
Prerequisite: eldritch blast cantrip
Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with your @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.EldritcBlast14II]{eldritch blast}, you can reduce that creatureâs speed by 10 feet until the end of your next turn.

When you do so, you deal psychic damage to the cursed target and each creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it. The psychic damage equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 damage). To use this invocation, you must be able to see the cursed target, and it must be within 30 feet of you.
Prerequisite: 7th level, hex spell or a warlock feature that curses
Your curse creates a temporary bond between you and your target. As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see within 5 feet of the target cursed by your @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Hex14IIIIIIIIIII]{hex} spell or by a warlock feature of yours, such as Hexbladeâs Curse or Sign of Ill Omen.

Prerequisite: 5th level
As a reaction when you take damage, you can entomb yourself in ice, which melts away at the end of your next turn. You gain 10 temporary hit points per warlock level, which take as much of the triggering damage as possible. Immediately after you take the damage, you gain vulnerability to fire damage, your speed is reduced to 0, and you are incapacitated. These effects, including any remaining temporary hit points, all end when the ice melts.
Once you use this invocation, you canât use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Wizardry requires understanding. The knowledge of how and why magic works, and our efforts to broaden that understanding, have brought about the key advances in civilization over the centuries.
![\"\"](\"modules/dnd-beyond/assets/images/adventures/Xanathar_s_Guide_to_Everything/assets/01-037.wizard.png\")
Only a select few people in the world are wielders of magic. Of all those, wizards stand at the pinnacle of the craft. Even the least of them can manipulate forces that flout the laws of &Reference[nat]{nature}, and the most accomplished among them can cast spells with world-shaking effects.
The price that wizards pay for their mastery is that most valuable of commodities: time. It takes years of study, instruction, and experimentation to learn how to harness magical energy and carry spells around in oneâs own mind. For adventuring wizards and other spellcasters who aspire to the highest echelons of the profession, the studying never ends, nor does the quest for knowledge and power.
If youâre playing a wizard, take advantage of the opportunity to make your character more than just a stereotypical spell-slinger. Use the advice that follows to add some intriguing details to how your wizard interacts with the world.
Your wizard characterâs most prized possession â your spellbook â might be an innocuous-looking volume whose covers show no hint of whatâs inside. Or you might display some flair, as many wizards do, by carrying a spellbook of an unusual sort. If you donât own such an item already, one of your goals might be to find a spellbook that sets you apart by its appearance or its means of manufacture.
| d6 | Spellbook |
| 1 | A tome with pages that are thin sheets of metal, spells etched into them with acid |
| 2 | Long straps of leather on which spells are written, wrapped around a staff for ease of transport |
| 3 | A battered tome filled with pictographs that only you can understand |
| 4 | Small stones inscribed with spells and kept in a cloth bag |
| 5 | A scorched book, ravaged by dragon fire, with the script of your spells barely visible on its pages |
| 6 | A tome full of black pages whose writing is visible only in dim light or darkness |
@RollTable[Spellbooks]{Open RollTable}
Few aspiring wizards undertake the study of magic without some personal goal in mind. Many wizards use their spells as a tool to produce a tangible benefit, in material goods or in status, for themselves or their companions. For others, the theoretical aspect of magic might have a strong appeal, pushing those wizards to seek out knowledge that supports new theories of the arcane or confirms old ones.
Beyond the obvious, why does your wizard character study magic, and what do you want to achieve? If you havenât given these questions much thought, you can do so now, and the answers you come up with will likely affect how your future unfolds.
| d6 | Ambition |
| 1 | You will prove that the gods arenât as powerful as folk believe. |
| 2 | Immortality is the end goal of your studies. |
| 3 | If you can fully understand magic, you can unlock its use for all and usher in an era of equality. |
| 4 | Magic is a dangerous tool. You use it to protect what you treasure. |
| 5 | Arcane power must be taken away from those who would abuse it. |
| 6 | You will become the greatest wizard the world has seen in generations. |
@RollTable[Ambitions]{Open RollTable}
Endless hours of solitary study and research can have a negative effect on anyoneâs social skills. Wizards, who are a breed apart to begin with, are no exception. An odd mannerism or two is not necessarily a drawback, though; an eccentricity of this sort is usually harmless and could provide a source of amusement or serve as a calling card of sorts.
If your character has an eccentricity, is it a physical tic or a mental one? Are you well known in some circles because of it? Do you fight to overcome it, or do you embrace this minor claim to fame of yours?
| d6 | Eccentricity |
| 1 | You have the habit of tapping your foot incessantly, which often annoys those around you. |
| 2 | Your memory is quite good, but you have no trouble pretending to be absentminded when it suits your purposes. |
| 3 | You never enter a room without looking to see whatâs hanging from the ceiling. |
| 4 | Your most prized possession is a dead worm that you keep inside a potion vial. |
| 5 | When you want people to leave you alone, you start talking to yourself. That usually does the trick. |
| 6 | Your fashion sense and grooming, or more accurately lack thereof, sometimes cause others to assume you are a beggar. |

At 2nd level, a wizard gains the Arcane Tradition feature. The following War Magic option is available to a wizard, in addition to the options offered in the Playerâs Handbook.

F{"name":"War Magic","type":"text","title":{"show":true,"level":1},"_id":"7ATCG1ch4W2mRhQ1","text":{"format":1,"content":"A variety of arcane colleges specialize in training wizards for war. The tradition of War Magic blends principles of &Reference[evo]{evocation} and &Reference[abj]{abjuration}, rather than specializing in either of those schools. It teaches techniques that empower a casterâs spells, while also providing methods for wizards to bolster their own defenses.
Followers of this tradition are known as war mages. They see their magic as both a weapon and armor, a resource superior to any piece of steel. War mages act fast in battle, using their spells to seize tactical control of a situation. Their spells strike hard, while their defensive skills foil their opponentsâ attempts to counterattack. War mages are also adept at turning other spellcastersâ magical energy against them.
In great battles, a war mage often works with evokers, abjurers, and other types of wizards. Evokers, in particular, sometimes tease war mages for splitting their attention between offense and defense. A war mageâs typical response: âWhat good is being able to throw a mighty @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Fireball14IIIIII]{fireball} if I die before I can cast it?â
War magic? Does that make you a War Wizard? Iâve heard about them. They dress in purple, I think. But youâre not dressed in purple. Thatâs disappointing. Go change.
| Wizard Level | Feature |
| 2nd | Arcane Deflection, Tactical Wit |
| 6th | Power Surge |
| 10th | Durable Magic |
| 14th | Deflecting Shroud |
At 2nd level, you have learned to weave your magic to fortify yourself against harm. When you are hit by an attack or you fail a saving throw, you can use your reaction to gain a +2 bonus to your AC against that attack or a +4 bonus to that saving throw.
When you use this feature, you canât cast spells other than cantrips until the end of your next turn.
Starting at 2nd level, your keen ability to assess tactical situations allows you to act quickly in battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Starting at 6th level, you can store magical energy within yourself to later empower your damaging spells. In its stored form, this energy is called a power surge.
You can store a maximum number of power surges equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). Whenever you finish a long rest, your number of power surges resets to one. Whenever you successfully end a spell with @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.DispelMagic14III]{dispel magic} or @Compendium[dnd-beyond.beyond-spells.Counterspell14II]{counterspell}, you gain one power surge, as you steal magic from the spell you foiled. If you end a short rest with no power surges, you gain one power surge.
Once per turn when you deal damage to a creature or object with a wizard spell, you can spend one power surge to deal extra force damage to that target. The extra damage equals half your wizard level.
Beginning at 10th level, the magic you channel helps ward off harm. While you maintain concentration on a spell, you have a +2 bonus to AC and all saving throws.
