The Death Knight requires the aid of the powerful Val'kyr, and a personal sacrifice to be made, a sacrifice of blood, and the Demon Hunter, Illidan's elite soldiers, requires more than a simple blood sacrifice, it requires cunning actions to be taken, personal scars to be made that will last the characters life. Both classes are powerful in their own ways, and both will grant the individual features unique to them. They each require the player to complete special tasks, a brief description of the tasks are presented in the class Prerequisites. For a more indepth look of what must be done, see Appendix D at the end of this book. Joining a Prestige Class In order to join a prestige class, you must first check with your Dungeon Master. A DM can opt to include or disallow prestige classes in their game. Prestige classes require you to undertake specific actions in the game so that your character can begin pursuing that class. If those actions aren't alreaady possible in your campaign, talk to your DM about integrating the prestige class that interests you. A prestige class uses the normal rules for multiclassing (See chapter 5, "Customization Options," later in this book). When your character is ready to advance a level, you can choose to gain a level in a prestige class. Your levels in all your classes, including prestige classes, are added together to determine your character level. Prerequisites Taking up a prestige class through multiclassing involves meeting certain prerequisites, just as with multiclassing into a standard class. You must meet the ability score prerequisites for your current class and for the prestige class in order to qualify for it. A prestige class requires a minimum character level and a minimum score in at least one ability, as well as requiring that you complete a specific deed before being able to take up that class. Experience Points Just as with the standard rules for multiclassing, the experience point cost to gain a level is always based on your total character level, not your level in a particular class. Hit Points and Hit Dice Each prestige class specifies the hit points you gain from it. You add together the Hit Dice granted by all your classes and prestige classes to determine your pool of Hit Dice. If the Hit Dice are the same die type, you pool them together. Proficiency Bonus and Proficiencies Your proficiency bonus is always based on your total character level, not your level in a particular class. A prestige class specifies whether it grants proficiencies when you enter it. Prestige Class Features You gain prestige class features just like normal class features. Sometimes, a prestige class can improve features you have gained from other classes. If a prestige class grants Channel Divinity, Extra Attack, or Unarmored Defense, that feature is treated the same way as if you had gained it from multiple standard classes. Spellcasting The Death Knight prestige class grants spellcasting. It provides details on how to determine your overall spellcasting ability, using the rules for spellcasting and multiclass character.

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 102/153 Death Knight A hero... that's what you once were. You stood against the shadow, and purchased another dawn for this world at the cost of your life. But the evil you fought is not so easily banished, the victory you claimed not so easily held. The specter of death looms over this world again, it has found new champions to bring about its final reign. Knights of darkness, this is the hour of your dark rebirth . . . — A knight of the Ebon Blade A human clad in heavy armor, wielding a greatsword with both hands, as he clutches it close, runes flash along its edge, leaving a stream of black smoke behind his swings. An orc surrounded by kobolds, forces his axe into the ground as the earth around him wither and die, frightening the kobolds as they run for their life. Biting cold rushes through the battle, as a lone blood elf walks forward, her armor clad in a layer of frost, she walks with firm steps, freezing the earth beneath her feet. No matter their past calling, death knights serve the powers of death, wielding weapons infused with runes of power. They are ruthless and practical warriors resurrected by the powerful val'kyrs and granted the powers of the revered death knights of the Ebon Hold. Although these warriors seem dead at a glance, they are very much alive. Outcast for Life Although these death knights are not undead as the generations before them, they carry much of the essence of the knights that came before them, and from a distance have the look of a dead person, their blank white stares peering at the world around them. Even though they are alive and not emotionless, it means little to most they meet who shun them because of what they have become. Death knights are bringers of death and destroy, a fact not easily forgotten. This has lead most death knights down a solitary path, many keep to the outskirts of towns and cities, or hide their appearance well before entering. Grim Revival Being resurrected as a death knight is not a simple task, only complicated further by the scar it leaves on the newly resurrected, gaining the powers of the death knights weakens the soul for a tremendous time, a price that has to be paid. But not only does it drain the death knight, some scars are visible for all to see, their resurrection has filled their body with necrotic energy that will forever linger within them, a trait always shown through their eyes, which will forever sit as two white lights in their sockets. Steadfast Warriors Death knights are exceptional warriors, and in many ways similar to paladins, being keen with various weapons and able to fight in any armor, aiding their combat with the use of magic. They wield their empowered runic weapons and shadow magic which enables them to overpower most foes that would dare to stand against them, making them fearful fighters able to stand in any situation.

Because of this very few new death knights are made, as death knights does not wish to give other their fates, living a live without feelings, in constant battle against the Lich King's ever present control. Necromancers cared little for what death knights wanted, and in secret studied incantations and rituals that would make them able to gain the powers of the revered death knights. Eventually they succeed and crafted a dark simulacrum, detailing complex spells that would allow them to gain the powers of a death knight, without the sacrifice of death, and outside the Lich King's control. To this day their efforts has been eliminated and their simulacrum lost to time. As you choose to use the simulacrum to become a death knight, consider why you decided to undergo the transformation. Did you seek greater power that what was offered in the living world? Were you seeking a means to end the scourge? Perhaps you were simply curious as to the tomes spells and did not know what you were entering? Perhaps you were sick of your previous life, and wished for a new beginning? Think about what effect the transformation has done to you, becoming a death knight comes at a cost, it splits a fragment of your soul, forever changing part of you, while these death knights are still alive, the resurrection often changes how one acts, if not for the memory of having sacrificed yourself, then the necrotic energy now rushing through your body. Prerequisites In order to undergo the transformation required to advance as a death knight, you must meet the following prerequisites (in addition to the multiclassing prerequisites for your existing class): Strength 13. Death Knights need to be able to wield weapons and strike hard upon their enemies. Charisma 13. Imbued with magic they need to be able to wield the magic within them into spells. Proficiency in Heavy Armor or Martial Weapons. Death knights learn much through their training, but some skills has to be known beforehand. Character Level 5th. Death knights are made out of the corpses of adventurers, imbued with magic, a simple process but straining for the imbuer, as such you must be a 5th-level character before you can gain levels in the death knight prestige class. Complete a Special Task. To become a death knight you must find the dark simulacrum and perform the ritual presented in it. At which point you will be reawaken as a weak death knight. See Appendix D for an indepth of the special task and the dark simulacrum. Class Features As a death knight, you gain the following class features. Hit Points Hit Dice: 1d10 per death knight level Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d10 + your Constitution modifier per death knight level PART 1 | CLASSES 103

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 104/153 Proficiencies Armor: All armors Weapons: Simple weapons, martial weapons Tools: None Saving Throws: Strength Skills: None Equipment The death knight prestige class does not grant any special equipment. Lingering Death You have been resurrected by a val'kyr in an unholy ritual, twisting your body and giving you the following benefits. Dead Gaze You gain darkvision to a range of 120 feet, if you already have darkvision it increases by to that range and you are able to see normally in magical darkness. Lost Radiance Any traces of the holy light have left your body, replaced by unholy energies. Your divine spells becomes twisted if cast, changing the damage of any spell that deals radiant to necrotic damage. Talk with your DM about adjusting the spell visually to better implement this change. Rune Weapon You carve magical runic sockets onto a weapon, binding it to you and preparing it for your runic empowerments. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks. Your rune weapons power fades when not held by you, and its benefits can't be used by anyone other than yourself. You can transform one two-handed weapon or two onehanded weapons into your rune weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The weapon ceases to be your rune weapon if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond. Shadow Magic Your dark resurrection has filled you with necrotic energies that make you able to cast spells. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 6 of this book for for the death knight spell list. Spell Slots The Death knight table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your death knight spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest. For example. when you are 5th level, you have three 3rdlevel spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell cause fear, you must spend one of those slots, casting it as a 3rd-level spell. Spell Known of 1st Level and Higher At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the death knight spell list. The Spells Known column of the Death Knight table shows when you learn more death knight spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. For example, when you reach 5th level, you learn a new death knight spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the death knight spells you know and replace it with another spell from the death knight spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your death knight spells, so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cast death knight spell and when making an attack roll with one Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Presence At 2nd level, you have gained powers in a presence of afterlife, choosing between: the presence of Blood, Frost, or Unholy, each of which is detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 5th, 9th, and 13th level. Channel Necromancy Your presence allows you to channel necrotic energy to fuel dark magics. Each Channel Necromancy option provided by your presence explains how to use it. When you use your Channel Necromancy, you choose which option to use. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Necromancy again. Some Channel Necromancy effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your Death Knight spell save DC. Runic Empowerments You have unearthed fragments of magic and learned how to shape them onto your blade in the form of runes to fill its empty sockets with power. At 2nd level, you gain two runic empowerments of your choice. Your rune options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain levels in this class, you imbue additional runes of your choice, as shown in the Runes Known column of the Death Knight table. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the runes you know and replace it with another rune that you could learn at that level. PART 1 | CLASSES 104

If your equipment was destroyed you do not regain it. If your rune weapon is broken or on another place of existence, you are not resurrected after 24 hours. If your weapon returns to your plane of existence after 24 hours has passed, you do not return to life as the magic of your weapon fades and vanishes. Presence No matter why one decided to become a death knight, they all feel the drawing to greater powers, most of which are shunned or directly forbidden in most of Azeroth. A death knight feels the presence of these powers and chooses to delve deeper into one of them, expanding his view whilst learning arts which most would see as dark magic.

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 108/153 Demon Hunter The enemy came into our world, desiring to extinguish all life. They slaughtered our loved ones, razed our homes.. our cities. You could not stop them. So you came to me, nothing but rage and determination left, I taught you that what once tormented you could give you power. Now you know, no sacrifice is too great if it brings an end to the Burning Legion — Illidan Stormrage A lone night elf clutching a pair of curved blades, peers to the ground as enemies surround him on all sides, before leaping backwards over the heads of his enemies, swinging his swords at one of them in the process. A blood elf sprints to the distant aid of her allies, a pair of heavy warglaives in her hands, she releases the fel within, leaving a trail of fel in her path as she rushes in inhumane speed to their aid to jump on the nearest enemy. A heavily built human standing afar as his allies engage a massive demon, in two swift motions he effortlessly slings his warglaives through the air at the demon, making deep gauges in its hide before returning to his firm grasp. These hunters have sworn their life to a sacred cause, although their motivation may vary, demon hunters are one of Azeroths protectors, these agile hunters carry exceptional skill against the foe they face. They wield both mortal strength and the devastating effects of fel magic, carrying out both with extreme precision Feared and Revered Society often shun demon hunters. Most don't understand the sacrifice that they make, therefore, many choose to become outcasts from their societies. Eyes are commonly turned at them when they wade through towns, most distrust and fear them for what they have become. Even though the world are untrusting of demon hunters, it matters not the the hunter themselves, cause they are protectors of the common folk against threats wishing the destruction of Azeroth, and most importantly demon. They are not righteous like paladins that fight for the Holy Light, or selfless like some rogues and warriors. They are the force who battles evil and although shunned by common folk, their aid is appreciated by experienced fighters. Power Granted for a Price Demon hunters are not trained like warriors are, they are created. It is a harsh and incurable process, leaving scars on the individual that will never heal. Most who attempt to undergo the rites to become a demon hunter end up dying from the horrors of what now possess them, or kills themselves because of what they have seen. At its very core of becoming a demon hunter is the consumption of a demon's soul in a ceremony, forever binding it to the demon hunter and suppressing it from taking control through magical inscriptions on the hunters skin, infused with fel. Finishing the binding of soul to the demon hunter by burning out their eyes with a magically imbued blade, forever binding the chaotic soul of the demon to the hunter. Other processes are done to create a demon hunter, slowly creating a fully fleshed demon hunter by removing much of who they were in their past lives. PART 1 | CLASSES 108

Were your family slaughtered by demons of the Burning Legion and you seek to avenge them? Did you strive for greater power through fel, and wished to control it? Were you full of rage and anger and wished to put it to use beyond raw strength? perhaps you went through their rituals unwillingly, and by a miracle survived the demons attempts to take control? Think of the demon hunters that put you through the rituals and did the rites on you, your relationship to them, are you angry at them for what they have done? pleased with their accomplishment? Think about what affect the transformation has done on you, physically as well as mentally. All demon hunters who survive the transformation grows horns, varying for tiny studs to massive horns stretching the length of their head. Some demon hunters grow scales on parts of their body, claws on their hands, or have entire limbs misshapen into a crude limb of a demon being. No demon hunter goes through the rites unchanges, and no two hunters come out with the same mutations, the mutations vary as much as the demon soul which now lives within them. Consider what it has done to your personality. Many demon hunters gains a temper cause of the ferocity of the demon within them, or change personality entirely for better or worse. Think about how the demon bond to you is affected you, if it takes control of your judgement at times, or if you keep it in check at all times. Prerequisites In order to undergo the transformation required to advance as a demon hunter, you must meet the following prerequisites (in addition to the multiclassing prerequisites for your existing class): Dexterity 13. Demon Hunters need to be swift and acrobatic to out maneuver their foes. Intelligence 13. Bonding with a demon requires a strong mind to overcome the mental strain. Character Level 5th.

A pair of warglaives Demonic Mark Choose a demonic mark, which describes the demons soul that you have bonded with: Mark of Havoc, Vengeance or Wrath, each detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and again at 5th, 8th, and 13th level. Illidari Initiation Becoming a Demon Hunter is a difficult task, requiring hard training and sacrifices to be made. As a result of this you gain the following benefits: Blind Sight Your eyes have been torn out, their sockets burnt to see the world in its true form. You lose any darkvision and sun-light sensitivity from your race, and gain the following sight: You are able to see normally to a range of 120 feet. You are able to see in normal and magical darkness, and can discern colors in darkness. You perceive the world beyond your vision, but it appears blurred, and details can't be discerned. Illidari Fighting Demon hunters are trained to wield a weapon in each hand, giving you the following benefits: You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack. You can wield warglaives using either Dexterity or Strength as if they had the finesse property. Felblade Attack You know how to channel small portions of fel through your strikes. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 fire damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Felblade Attack column of the Demon Hunter table. Unarmored Defense While you are not wearing any armor and wielding a shield, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Intelligence modifier. Chaos Starting at 2nd level, you are able to harness the chaotic energies built up within. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of chaos points. Your demon hunter level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Chaos Points column of the Demon Hunter table. You can spend these points to fuel various chaotic features. You start by knowing two such features: Demon's Bite, and Fel Rush. You learn additional chaotic features as you gain levels in this class. When you spend a chaos point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended chaotic energy back into yourself. Some of your chaotic features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: Chaos save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier Demon's Bite Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 chaos point to make a weapon attack with each weapon you're wielding as a bonus action. Fel Rush You can spend 1 chaos point and use your bonus action to vanish in a cloud of fel and teleport from your current position to an empty space within 30 feet that you can see. Evasion At 2nd level, your agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. Ability Score Improvement When you reach 3rd level, and again at 7th, 11th, and 15th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Chaos-Empowered Strikes Starting at 4th level, your weapon attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. Demon Wings Also at 4th level, you can use your reaction when you fall to sprout a pair of leathery wings from your back, making you decent at 60 feet per round. Landing on your feet and taking no damage from the fall. At 9th level, you can spend 2 chaos points to make the wings capable of carrying you, giving you a flying speed equal to your current speed. While active you can sprout and dismiss the wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last for 1 hour before being unable to carry you any further. You can't sprout your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 114/153 Chapter 3: Personality & Background C haracters are defined by much more than their race and class. They're individuals with their own stories, interests, connections, and capabilities beyond those that class and race define. This chapter expounds on the details that distinguish characters from one another, including the basics of name and physical description, the rules of backgrounds and languages, and finer points of personality and alignment. Character Details Your character's name and physical description might be the first things that the other players at the table learn about you It's worth thinking about how these characteristics reflect the character you have in mind. Name Your character's race description includes sample names for members of that race. Put some thought into your name even if you're just picking one from a list, it may be something you will have to keep for a long time. Sex You can play a male or female character without gaining any special benefits or hindrances. Think about how your character does or does not conform to the broader culture's expectations of sex, gender, and sexual behavior. As an example, a male night elf priest defies the traditional gender divisions of blood elf society, which could be a reason for your character to leave that society and venture on Azeroth. You don't need to be confined to binary notions of sex and gender. You could play a female presenting herself as a man, a man feeling trapped in a female body, or a bearded female dwarf who hates being mistaken for a male. Your character's sexual orientation is for you to decide. Contrasting Characters The details in this chapter make a big difference in setting your character apart from every other character. Consider the following two human fighters. Hailing from Strahnbrad. Cayla Davenport was a brash teenager who had a rough childhood. The daughter of a thief, she ran away from home and practiced her father's trade on the streets of Southshore. When she tried to rob the proprietor of the Inn, the Early Oak, he caught her and took her under his wing, giving her a job as a barmaid. After the scourge destroyed the inn, necessity forced Cayla into adventure alongside the friends she'd known from her childhood. Endrik Goodwin grew up on the streets of Stormwind. He used his wits, strength, and agility to carve out his own territory in the city's shanty town. After several years, he attracted the notice of one of the most powerful thieves' guilds in the city, and he ascended the ranks of the guild quickly despite his youth. Cayla and Endrik are both human and both warriors, possessing similarly high Strength and Dexterity scores, but there the similarity ends. Height and Weight You can decide your character's height and weight, using the information provided in your race description or on the Random Height and Weight table. Think about what your character's ability scores might say about his or her height and weight. A strong and tough character might be tall or just heavy. A weak but agile character might be thin. If you want to, you can roll randomly for your character's height and weight using the Random Height and Weight table. The dice roll given in the Height Modifier column determines the character's extra height beyond the base height. The same number multiplied by the dice roll or quantity given in the Weight Modifier column determines the character's extra weight beyond the base weight. Random Height and Weight Race Base Height Height Modifier Base Weight Weight Modifier Draenei, broken 5'6" +2d8 155 lb. x (2d6) lb. Draenei, exodar 5'9" +2d8 175 lb. x (2d6) lb.

Troll, zandalari 5'5" +2d10 165 lb. x (2d6) lb. Worgen 6'2" +2d10 155 lb. x (2d6) lb. For example, as a human, Cayla has a height of 4 feet 8 inches plus 2d10 inches. Her player rolls 2d10 and gets a total of 12, so Cayla stands at 5 feet 8 inches tall. Then the player uses the same roll of 12 and multiplies it by 2d4 pounds. Her 2d4 roll is 3, an extra 36 pounds (12 x 3) on top of her base 110 pounds for a total of 146 pounds. PART 1 | PERSONALITY & BACKGROUND 114

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 115/153 Character Details Consider how the names Cayla Davenport and Endrik Goodwin set these characters apart from each other and reflect their personalities. Cayla is a young woman determined to prove that she's not just a kid any more, and her name makes her sound young and ordinary. Endrik Goodwin comes from a the Stormwind province and carries a name of riches. Cayla is nineteen years old at the start of her adventuring career and has auburn hair, green eyes, fair skin with freckles, and a mole on her right hip. Endrik is a small man, compact and all wiry muscle. He has angular features and high cheekbones, and he always seems in need of a shave. His raven-black hair is thick and full, but his eyes are gray and lifeless, betraying the emptiness of his life and soul. Other Physical Characteristics You choose your character's age and the color of his and her hair, eyes, skin, and other racial traits. To add a touch of distinctiveness, you might want to give your character an unusual or memorable physical characteristic, such as a scar, a limp, or a tattoo. Alignment A typical creature in the world of Warcraft has an alignment, broadly describing its moral and personal attitudes. Alignment is a combination of two factors: one identifies morality (good, evil, or neutral), and the other describes attitude towards society and order (lawful, chaotic, or neutral). Thus, nine distinct alignments define the possible combinations. These brief summaries of the nine alignments describe the typical behavior of a creature with that alignment. Individuals might vary significantly from that typical behavior, and few people are perfectly and consistently faithful to the precepts of their alignment. Lawful good (LG) creatures can be counted on to do the right thing as expected by society. Most paladins, and dwarves are lawful good. Neutral good (NG) folk do the best they can to help others according to their needs. Many celestials, and most gnomes are neutral good. Chaotic good (CC) creatures act as their conscience directs, with little regard for what others expect. Many elves, and unicorns are chaotic good. Lawful neutral (LN) individuals act in accordance with law, tradition, or personal codes. Many monks, and some mages are lawful neutral. Neutral (N) is the alignment of those who prefer to steer clear of moral questions and don't take sides, doing what seems best at the time. Many humans are neutral. Chaotic neutral (CN) creatures follow their whims, holding their personal freedom above all else. Many warriors, and rogues are chaotic neutral. Lawful evil (LE) creatures methodically take what they want, within the limits of a code of tradition, loyalty, or order. The black dragonflight are lawful evil. Neutral evil (NE) is the alignment of those who do whatever they can get away with, without compassion or qualms. Many goblins, and warlocks are neutral evil. Chaotic evil (CE) creatures act with arbitrary violence, spurred by their greed, hatred, or bloodlust. Demons, and gnolls are chaotic evil. Alignment in the Multiverse For many thinking creatures, alignment is a moral choice. Humans, orcs, elves, and other humanoid races can choose whether to follow the paths of good or evil, law or chaos. According to myth, these races were giving free will to choose their moral paths, knowing that good without free will is slavery. The evil who created other races, though, made those races to serve them. Those races have strong inborn tendencies. Centaurs share a violent temperament, running deep in their blood, and are thus inclined toward evil. Even if an centaur chooses a good alignment, it struggles against its innate tendencies for its entire life. Alignment is an essential part of the nature of celestials and fiends. A eredar does not choose to be lawful evil, and it doesn't tend toward lawful evil, but rather it is lawful evil in its essence. If it somehow ceased to be lawful evil, it would cease to be a eredar. Most creatures that lack the capacity for rational thought do not have alignments, they are unaligned. Such a creature is incapable of making a moral or ethical choice and acts according to its bestial nature. Sharks are savage predators, but they are not evil; they have no alignment. Cayla and Endrik: Alignment Cayla Davenport is neutral good, fundamentally good-hearted and striving to help others where she can. Endrik is lawful evil, unconcerned with the value of sentient life but at least professional in his approach to murder. As an evil character, Endrik is not an ideal adventurer. He began his career as a villain, and only cooperates with heroes when he must and when it's in his own best interests. In most games, evil adventurers cause problems in groups alongside others who don't share their interests and objectives. Generally, evil alignments are for villains and monsters.

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 116/153 Languages Your race indicates the languages your character can speak by default, and your background might give you access to one or more additional languages of your choice. Choose your languages from the Standard Languages table, or choose one that fits in your campaign. With your DM's permission, you can instead choose a language from the opposite factions Language table, an Exotic Languages table, or the language of druids and rogues. Some languages are actually families of languages with many dialects. For example, the Kalimag language includes the Auran, Aquan, Ignan, and Terran dialects, one for each of the four elementals. Standard Languages Language Typical Speakers Script Alliance Races Common Humans Common Dwarven Dwarves Runic Gnomeish Gnomes Common Draenei Draeneis Eredic Horde Races Orcish Orcs Common Gutterspeak Forsaken Common Taur-ahe Taurens Pictoform Zandali Trolls — Goblin Goblins Common Neutral Races Darnassian Night Elves Darnassian Mogu Pandarens Logogram Shalassian Nightborne Darnassian Thalassian High Elves Darnassian Exotic Languages Language Typical Speakers Script Celestial Celestials Celestial Draconic Dragons Runic Eredun Demons Eredic Giant Ogres — Kalimag Elementals Runic Low Common Lesser Races Common Pandaren — Syllabary Personal Characteristics Fleshing out your character's personality —the array of traits, mannerisms, habits, beliefs, and flaws that give a person a unique identity— will help you bring him or her to life as you play the game. Four categories of characteristics are presented here: personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws. Beyond those categories, think about your character's favorite words or phrases, tics and habitual gestures, vices and pet peeves, and whatever else you can imagine. New backgrounds are presented later in this chapter, see also the Player's Handbook and other sources for the full array of available backgrounds for you to choose from. Personality Traits Give your character two personality traits. Personality traits are small, simple ways to help you set your character apart from every other character. Your personality traits should tell you something interesting and fun about your character. They should be self-descriptions that are specific about what makes your character stand out. "I'm smart" is not a good trait, because it describes a lot of characters. "I've read every book in Dalaran" tells you something specific about your character's interests and disposition. Personality traits might describe the things your character likes, his or her past accomplishments, things your character dislikes or fears, your character's self-attitude or mannerisms, or the influence of his or her ability scores. A useful place to start thinking about personality traits is to look at your highest and lowest ability scores and define one trait related to each. Either one could be positive or negative: you might work hard to overcome a low score, for example, or be cocky about your high score. Ideals Describe one ideal that drives your character. Your ideals are the things that you believe in most strongly, the fundamental moral and ethical principles that compel you to act as you do. Ideals encompass everything from your life goals to your core belief system. Ideals might answer any of these questions: What are the principles that you will never betray? What would prompt you to make sacrifices? What drives you to act and guides your goals and ambitions? What is the single most important thing you strive for? You can choose any ideals you like, but your character's alignment is a good place to start defining them. The background in this chapter includes six suggested ideals. Five of them are linked to aspects of alignment: law, chaos, good, evil, and neutrality. The last one has more to do with the background than with moral or ethical perspectives. See also the Player's Handbook and other sources for a full list of available backgrounds to choose from. Bonds Create one bond for your character. Bonds represent a character's connections to people, places, and events in the world. They tie you to things from your background. They might inspire you to heights of heroism, or lead you to act against your own best interests if they are threatened. They can work very much like ideals, driving a character's motivations and goals. Bonds might answer any of these questions: Whom do you care most about? To what place do you feel a special connection? What is your most treasured possession? Your bonds might be tied to your class, your background, your race, or some other aspect of your character's history or personality. You might also gain new bonds over the course of your adventures. Flaws Finally, choose a flaw for your character. Your character's flaw represents some vice, compulsion, fear, or weakness in particular, anything that someone else could exploit to bring you to ruin or cause you to act against your best interests. More significant than negative personality traits, a flaw might answer any of these questions: What enrages you? What's the one person, concept, or event that you are terrified of? What are your vices? PART 1 | PERSONALITY & BACKGROUND 116

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 117/153 New Backgrounds Every story has a beginning. Your character's background reveals where you came from, how you became an adventurer, and your place in the world. Your warrior might have been a courageous knight or a grizzled soldier. Your mage could have been a sage or an artisan. Your rogue might have gotten by as a guild thief or commanded audiences as a jester. Choosing a background provides you with important story cues about your character's identity. The most important question to ask about your background is what changed? Why did you stop doing whatever your background describes and start adventuring? Where did you get the money to purchase your starting gear, or, if you come from a wealthy background, why don't you have more money? How did you learn the skills of your class? What sets you apart from ordinary people who share your background? The backgrounds in this chapter are meant as additions to the factions presented in the Player's Handbook, not as replacements for them. Proficiencies Each background gives a character proficiency in two skills. Skills are described in chapter 6 of the Player's Handbook. In addition, most backgrounds give a character proficiency with one or more tools. Tools and tool proficiencies are detailed in chapter 5 of the Player's Handbook. If a character would gain the same proficiency from two different sources, he or she can choose a different proficiency of the same kind (skill or tool) instead. Languages Some backgrounds also allow characters to learn additional languages beyond those given by race. See "Languages" earlier in this chapter. Equipment Each background provides a package of starting equipment. if you use the optional rule from chapter 4 to spend coin on gear, you do not receive the starting equipment from your background. Suggested Characteristics A background contains suggested personal characteristics based on your background. You can pick characteristics, roll dice to determine them randomly, or use the suggestions as inspiration for characteristics of your own creation. Customizing a Background You might want to tweak some of the features of a background so it better fits your character or the campaign setting. To customize a background, you can replace one feature with any other one, choose any two skills, and choose a total of two tool proficiencies or languages from the sample backgrounds. You can either use the equipment package from your background or spend coin on gear as described in chapter 4. (If you spend coin, you can't also take the equipment package suggested for your class.) Finally, choose two personality traits, one ideal, one bond, and one flaw. If you can't find a feature that matches your desired background, work with your DM to create one.

You may be an informant for the Scarlet Crusade, providing them with false intel on behalf of the forsakens.

You might be a tauren born in the eastern kingdoms, and abandoned by your parents, to be found by human farmers that took you in, nurtured you and raised you as their own, or you may be a human of Theramore, who ran away from your home, to be taken in by orcs and raised as a member of the horde within Orgrimmar, taught how to fight and learn the language of orcs. Discuss with your DM the details of the faction and race who raised you, as not all races of Azeroth have an equal relationship towards other races. Skill Proficiencies: History, Perception Languages: Two of your choice from the faction you were raised ins faction languages. Equipment: A set of common clothes, hooded cloak, a trinket of your faction, book, one bottle of ink, one quill, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp Feature: A False Allegiance Your race and appearance makes you able to enter and go undisturbed through villages and cities of both factions, eye may wander upon you as you walk, but none will stop and ask questions, or raise arms against you. Suggested Characteristics Having lived a life amongst races of the opposite faction, getting to know and love their customs often make faction fostered social skills within their born faction limited. They are nonetheless social individuals, many of which greatly appreciate the races they now have grown up with, and stand by their side against their own kin. PART 1 | PERSONALITY & BACKGROUND 118

You've learnt the basics of the schools of magic, and the ley lines of arcane magic that runs beneath the surface of Azeroth. You've spent enough time within Kirin Tors libraries, learning what knowledge interested you, and have been sent out onto Azeroth by your mentor to seek knowledge elsewhere, and to gain experience. Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, History Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan's tools Languages: One of your choice Equipment: A bottle of high quality ink, a quill, chalk, a scroll case with 5 pieces of parchment, robes, a candle, tinder box, and a belt pouch containing 15 gp Feature: A Prominent Mentor You know at least one prominent mage within the Kirin Tor that you can call upon for answers and information.

Once you've contacted your mentor, you cannot contact him again for a week, unless you expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher. At the DMs discretion, the mentors information may be false, missing vital details, or they may not respond within a timely fashion. Discuss the details of the mages you know within the Kirin Tor with your DM. Suggested Characteristics An apprentice of the Kirin Tor is often eager to learn what lies around Azeroth, wishing to learn any knowledge given to them.

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 122/153 Chapter 4: New Equipment T he marketplace of a large city teems with buyers and sellers of many sorts: dwarf smiths and elf woodcarvers, troll charms, goblin relics, and gnome jewelers, not to mention humans of every shape, size, and color drawn from a spectrum of nations and cultures. In the largest cities, almost anything imaginable is offered for sale, from exotic spices and luxurious clothing to wicker baskets, practical swords, and beautiful elven bows. For an adventurer, the availability of armor, weapons, backpacks, rope, and similar goods is of paramount importance, since proper equipment can mean the difference between life and death in a dungeon or the untamed wilds. This chapter details the mundane and exotic merchandise that adventurers commonly find useful in the face of the threats that Azeroth presents. Starting Equipment When you create your character, you receive equipment based on a combination of your class and your chosen background. Alternatively, you can start with a number of gold pieces based on your class and spend them on items from the lists in this chapter. See the Starting Wealth by Class table to determine how much gold you have to spend. You decide how your character came by this starting equipment. It might have been an inheritance, or goods that the character purchased during his or her upbringing. You might have been equipped with a weapon. armor, and a backpack as part of military service. You might even have stolen your gear. A weapon could be a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation until your character finally took up the mantle and followed in an ancestor's adventurous footsteps. Starting Wealth by Class Class Funds Druid 2d4 x 10 gp Hunter 5d4 x 10 gp Mage 4d4 x 10 gp Monk 5d4 gp Paladin 5d4 x 10 gp Priest 4d4 x 10 gp Rogue 4d4 x 10 gp Shaman 5d4 x 10 gp Warlock 4d4 x 10 gp Warrior 5d4 x 10 gp Wealth Wealth varies drastically on Azeroth according to region. Coins, gems, trade goods, art object, animals, and property can reflect your character's financial well-being. Members of the peasantry trade in good, bartering for what they need to scrape what gold necessary to pay of their taxes. Members of the nobility trade either in legal rights, such as the rights to a mine, a port, or farmland, or in gold bars, measuring gold by the pound rather than by the coin. Only merchants, adventurers, and those offering professional services for hire commonly deal in coins. Coinage Common coins come in several different denominations based on the relative worth of the metal from which they are made. The three most common coins are the gold piece (gp), the silver piece (sp), and the copper piece (cp). With one gold piece, a character can buy a belt pouch, 50 feet of good rope, or a goat. A skilled (but not exceptional) artisan can earn one gold piece a day. The gold piece is the standard unit of measure for wealth, even if the coin itself is not commonly used. When merchants discuss deals that involve goods or services worth hundreds or thousands of gold pieces, the transactions don't usually involve the exchange of individual coins. Rather, the gold piece is a standard measure of value, and the actual exchange is in gold bars, letters of credit, or valuable goods. One gold piece is worth ten silver pieces, the most prevalent coin among commoners. One silver piece is worth ten copper pieces, which are common among laborers and beggars. In addition, unusual coins made of other precious metals sometimes appear in treasure hoards. The electrum piece (ep) and the platinum piece (pp) originate from fallen empires and lost kingdoms, and they sometimes arouse suspicion and skepticism when used in transactions. An electrum piece is worth five silver pieces, and a platinum piece is worth ten gold pieces. A standard coin weighs about a third of an ounce, so fifty coins weigh a pound.

Only those proficient in the shield's use know how to wield it effectively, however. If you wield a shield that you lack proficiency with, you have disadvantage on any ability check, saving throw, or attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity, and you can't cast spells. Special Shields Shields with special rules are described here. Buckler. A buckler is strapped to your forearm, allowing you to hold an item in its hand. If you use the shielded hand as part of an action or bonus action, you loose its increase to your Armor Class until the start of your next turn. Tower Shield. You use your Strength modifier, instead of your Dexterity for determining your Armor Class while you have this shield donned. Racial Weapons Your race may grant proficiency in special weapons that are crafted and used by your race exclusively. The night elves with their circular moon swords and glaives, taurens with their heavy blunt totems, capable of crushing most men, and the blood elves with their double ended warblades. Racial Weapon Proficiency Your race, and feats can grant you proficiency with certain racial weapons. These weapons are exotic, and can't be wielded proficiently with simple and martial proficiency. Proficiency with a racial weapon allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with that weapon. If you make an attack roll using a weapon with which you lack proficiency, you do not add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll. Special Weapons Weapons with special rules are described here. Sin'dorei Warblade. Immediately after attacking an enemy with this blade, you may make an additional attack with its second blade using your bonus action. PART 1 | NEW EQUIPMENT 123

They strived to further improve the ability to shoot from a distance without the aid of magic. With the invention of black powder, the dwarves of Ironforge were quick to act in experimenting with its uses, crafting the first firearms from which the weapon has evolved around. Firearm Proficiency Your race, class, and feats can grant you proficiency with firearms. The two categories are flintlock and caplock. If you make an attack roll with a firearm without being proficient, you do not add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll, and you increase the firearms misfire score by 1. Flintlock. A common trigger, requiring black powder to be poured into the barrel following a bullet in order to be fired. Flintlock weapons are unable to be shot in heavy rain, or while submerged in water. Caplock. A rare trigger, requiring special bullets with a black powder compartment built into them to be operated. Caplock weapons can be shot even in heavy rain, or whilst submerged in water. Firearm Properties Firearms have special properties related to their use that are unique to them, as shown in the Weapons table. Misfire. Whenever you make an attack roll with a firearm, and the dice roll is equal to or lower than the weapon's Misfire score, the weapon misfires. The attack misses, and the weapon cannot be used again until you spend an action to try and repair it. To repair your firearm, you must make a successful Intelligence or Tinker's Tools check (DC equal to 8 + misfire score). If your check fails, the weapon is broken and must be mended out of combat at a quarter of the cost of the firearm. Reload. A limited number of shots can be made with a firearm. You must then reload it using an action or bonus action (Your choice). Ammunition Firearms require ammunition to make an attack. Flint and caplock firearms use the same ammunition. Both ammunitions are generally sold in batches at the prices list below. Blunderbuss and Scatterguns use special ammunition that has its own price. Crafting If materials are gathered, you can craft ammunition yourself using Tinker's Tools at half the cost in the table below. Requiring a successful DC 12 Tinker's Tools check to be done over the course of a short rest, crafting 1 batch of ammunition for the chosen weapon type. PART 1 | NEW EQUIPMENT 124

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 125/153 Chapter 5: Customization Options T he combination of ability scores, race, class, and background defines your character's capabilities in the game, and the personal details you create set your character apart from every other character. Even within your class and race, you have options to fine-tune what your character can do. But this chapter is for players who want to go a step further. This chapter defines two optional sets of rules for customizing your character: multiclassing and feats. Multiclassing lets you combine classes together, and feats are special options you can choose instead of increasing your ability scores as you gain levels. Multiclassing Multiclassing allows you to gain levels in multiple classes. Doing so lets you mix the abilities of those classes to realize a character concept that might not be reflected in one of the standard class options. With this rule, you have the option of gaining a level in a new class whenever you advance in level, instead of gaining a level in your current class. Your levels in all your classes are added together to determine your character level. For example, if you have three levels in mage and two in warrior, you're a 5th-level character. As you advance in levels, you might primarily remain a member of your original class with just a few levels in another class, or you might change course entirely. never looking back at the class you left behind. You might even start progressing in a third or fourth class. Prerequisites To qualify for a new class, you must meet the ability score prerequisites for both your current class and your new one, as shown in the Multiclassing Prerequisites table. For example, a warrior who decides to multiclass into the druid class must have both Strength or Dexterity and Wisdom scores of 13 or higher. Without the full training that a beginning character receives, you must be a quick study in your new class. having a natural aptitude that is reflected by higher-than-average ability scores. Multiclassing Prerequisites Class Ability Score Minimum Druid Wisdom 13 Hunter Dexterity or Strength 13 Mage Intelligence 13 Monk Dexterity 13 and Wisdom 13 Paladin Strength 13 and Charisma 13 Priest Wisdom 13 Rogue Dexterity 13 Shaman Wisdom 13 Warlock Intelligence 13 Warrior Strength or Dexterity 13 Death Knight Strength 13 and Charisma 13 Demon Hunter Dexterity 13 and Intelligence 13 Experience Points The experience point cost to gain a level is always based on your total character level, as shown in the Character Advancement table in chapter 1 of the Player's Handbook, not your level in a particular class. So, if you are a priest 6/warrior 1, you must gain enough XP to reach 8th level before you can take your second level as a warrior or your seventh level as a priest. Hit Points and Hit Dice You gain the hit points from your new class as described for levels after 1st. You gain the 1st-level hit points for a class only when you are a 1st-level character. You add together the Hit Dice granted by all your classes to form your pool of Hit Dice. if the Hit Dice are the same die type, you can simply pool them together. For example, both the warrior and the paladin have a d10. so if you area paladin 5/warrior 5, you have ten d10 Hit Dice. If your classes give you Hit Dice of different types, keep track of them separately. If you are a paladin 5/priest 5, for example, you have five d10 Hit Dice and five d6 Hit Dice. Proficiency Bonus Your proficiency bonus is always based on your total character level, as shown in the Character Advancement table in chapter 1 of the Player's Handbook, not your level in a particular class. For example, if you are a warrior 3/rogue 2, you have the proficiency bonus of a 5th-level character, which is +3. Proficiencies When you gain a level in a class other than your first, you gain only some of that class's starting proficiencies, as shown in the Multiclassing Proficiencies table. Multiclassing Proficiencies Class Proficiencies Gained Druid Light armor, nature skill Hunter Light armor, medium armor, simple weapons, martial weapons, one skill from the class's skill list. Mage — Monk Light armor, simple weapons, shortswords Paladin Light armor, medium armor, shields, simple weapons, martial weapons Priest One skill from the class's skill list Rogue Light armor, one skill from the class's skill list, thieves' tools Shaman Light armor, medium armor, shields Warlock Simple weapons Warrior Light armor, medium armor, shields, simple weapons, martial weapons Death Knight All armors, simple and martial weapons Demon Hunter Simple and martial weapons, warglaive PART 1 | CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS 125

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 126/153 Class Features When you gain a new level in a class, you get its features for that level. A few features, however, have additional rules when you're multiclassing: Channel Divinity, Extra Attack, Unarmored Defense, and Spellcasting, Channel Divinity / Necromancy If you already have the Channel Divinity or Necromancy feature and gain a level in a class that also grants the feature, you gain the Channel effects granted by that class, but getting the feature again doesn't give you an additional use of it. You gain additional uses only when you reach a class level that explicitly grants them to you. For example, if you are a priest 6 / paladin 4, you can use Channel Divinity twice between rests because you are high enough level in the priest class to have more uses. Whenever you use the feature, you can choose any of the Channel Divinity effects available to you from your two classes. Extra Attack If you gain the Extra Attack class feature from more than one class, the features don't add together. You can't make more than two attacks with this feature unless it says you do (as the warrior's version of Extra Attack or a shaman's wind shield does). Unarmored Defense If you already have the Unarmored Defense feature, you can't gain it again from another class. Spellcasting Your capacity for spellcasting depends partly on your combined levels in all your spellcasting classes and partly on your individual levels in those classes. Once you have the Spellcasting feature from more than one class, use the rules below. If you multiclass but have the Spellcasting feature from only one class, you follow the rules as described in that class. Spells Known and Prepared. You determine what spells you know and can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are a shaman 3 / pries 4, for example, you know four shaman cantrips, and four 1st-level shaman spells based on your levels in the shaman class. As 4th-level priest, you know four priest cantrips. If your wisdom is 16, you can prepare six priest spells of 1st and 2nd-level. Each spell you know and prepare is associated with one of your classes, and you use the spellcasting ability of that class when you cast the spell. Similarly, a spellcasting focus, such as a holy symbol, can be used only for the spells from the class associated with that focus. Spell Slots. You determine your available spell slots by adding together all your levels in the death knight, druid, mage, priest, and warlock classes, half your levels (rounded down) in the paladin and shaman classes. Use this total to determine your spell slots by consulting the Spellcaster table found later in this chapter. If you have more than one spellcasting class, this table might give you spell slots of a level that is higher than the spells you know or can prepare. You can use those slots, but only to cast your Lower-level spells. If a lower level spell that you cast, like burning hands, has an enhanced effect when cast using a higher-level slot, you can use the enhanced effect, even though you don't have any spells of that higher level. For example, if you are the aforementioned shaman 3 / priest 4, you count as a 7th-level character when— determining your spell slots: you have four 1st-level slots, three 2nd-level slots, and two 3rd-level slots. However, you don't know any 3rd-level spells, nor do you know any 2ndlevel shaman spells. You can use the spell slots of those levels to cast the spells you do know. Shadow Magic. If you have both the Spellcasting class feature and the Shadow Magic class feature, you can use the spell slots you gain from the Shadow Magic feature to cast spells you know or have prepared from classes with the Spellcasting class feature, and spell slots you gain from the Spellcasting class feature to cast spells you know from classes with the Shadow Magic class feature.

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 127/153 New Feats A feat represents a talent or an area of expertise that gives a character special capabilities. It embodies training, experience, and abilities beyond what a class provides. At certain levels, your class gives you the Ability Score Improvement feature. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking that feature to take a feat of your choice instead. You can take each feat only once, unless the feat's description says otherwise. You must meet any prerequisite specified in a feat to take that feat. If you ever lose a feat's prerequisite, you can't use that feat until you regain the prerequisite. For example, the Battlemage feat requires you to be able to cast a spell. If you lose your ability to cast spells somehow you can't benefit from the Battlemage spell until that ability is restored. The feats presented in this book are meant as additions to those presented in the 5th edition Player's Handbook. Battlemage Prerequisite: The ability to cast at least one spell You have improved you technique with spells in the heat of battle, you gain the following benefits: You learn two cantrips of your choice from the mage spell list. When you make a ranged spell attack, you do not suffer disadvantage on the attack roll if you are within 5 feet of the hostile creature. Before you cast an instantaneous spell that requires a spell attack and are unable of hitting more than a single target, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the spell attack roll. If the spell hits, you add +10 to the spell's damage. Firearm Expert You have become excellent at the usages of firearms, gaining the following benefits: You ignore the reload quality of firearms with which you are proficient. Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls. When you use the Attack action and attack with a onehanded weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a loaded one-handed firearm you are holding. Firearm Adept Your have become interested in the mechanical firearms and their uses, gaining the following benefits: Increase your Dexterity or Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Racial Weapon Master You have practiced extensively with the exotic weapons used by certain races, gaining the following benefits: Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20. You gain proficiency with racial weapons. Racial Feats Leveling up in a class is the main way a character evolves during a campaign. Some DMs also allow the use of feats to customize a character. Feats are an optional rule in chapter 6, of the Player's Handbook. The DM decides whether they're used and may also decide that some feats are available in a campaign and others aren't. This section introduces a collection of special feats that allow you to explore your character's race further. These feats are each associated with a race from chapter 1, as summarized in the Racial Feats table. A racial feat represents either a deepening connection to your race's culture or a physical transformation that brings you closer to an aspect of your race's 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. Figuring out why your character has changed can be a rich addition to your campaign's story.

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 142/153 Part III Variant Rules

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 143/153 Variant Rule: Hero Points A paladin who stands alone against a horde of undead while his companions heal a dying comrade, a rogue who leaps after a precious artifact dropped from a lofty tower balcony, a warrior who throws himself against a vastly superior opponent. . . These are the heroes whose actions inspire stories and legends. The actions of a hero often include acts of such a daring nature and chance that it is almost impossible to guarantee a sure outcome. Even though every hero confronts perils, fate is on the side of those who face adversity head on and challenge evil and darkness without fear of death. Instead of earning inspiration as you venture through the world of Warcraft, you can choose to give your players Hero Points for their daring acts against powerful foes. Hero points are rewards for that type of valiant action, these points allow a player to bend the fates in his character's favor, and such power requires more hands-on judgement from a DM than most other rules. Hero points blur the lines of action and allow characters to perform the exceptional and even the impossible. Gaining Hero Points The power given by hero points can be immense, your DM can choose to grant you a hero point for your heroic actions. Some adventurers might never earn a hero point, and even when characters does, there is no guarantee that the player will use it when the right time comes. Your DM will tell you how you can earn a hero point in the game. You either have a hero point or you don't, you can't stockpile multiple "hero points" for later use. Likewise, you cannot earn a hero point through an action that you spend a hero point on performing. Using Hero Points If you have a hero point, you can expend it when you make an attack roll, cast a spell, saving throw, or when being attacked. Spending your hero point makes the check you were an immediate success. Action Surger You can expend your hero point to make the next turn yours, out of initiative order. Once you've finished the turn, the initiative goes back to normal, and you return to your place in the initiative count. Physical Fighter You can expend your hero point when rolling for a weapon attack, treating your attack roll as a successful hit. When done, the player chooses one of the following effects: Powerful Blow. Your weapon attack acts as a Massive Critical Hit, roll the attack's damage dice twice and add them together. Then add any relevant modifiers as normal, and add your character level to the damage. Mutilate. Your weapon attack mutilates the target, dealing normal weapon damage, and attempts to cut off a limb (if any) of your choice. The creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against a DC of 12, or half the damage done. On a failed save, the creature gains one of the following mutilations. Arm / Hand. You cut off the creatures arm, making it unable to hold two items at once, or cast spells while their remaining arm is carrying an object. Leg / Foot. You cut off the creatures leg, reducing its movement speed by half, and giving opportunity attacks against it advantage. In addition, the creature can't dash. Eye. You pierce out the creatures eye, giving it disadvantage on Perception checks, and reducing its passive Perception by 5. If both eyes are removed, or if the creature only has one, it is considered Blinded. This mutilation has no effect if the damage dealt is bludgeoning. Spell Fighter You can expend your hero point when you cast a spell, treating your spell attack as a successful hit. When done, the player chooses one of the following effects: Power Surge. Your spell attack acts as a Massive Critical Hit, roll the attack's damage dice twice and add them together. Then add any relevant modifiers as normal, and add your character level to the damage. Precision Spell. You can choose a number of creatures equal to your spellcasting ability modifier to automatically succeed and fail on a saving throw to resist or negate your spells effect. Defensive You can expend your hero point when you're being targeted by a spell or attack. When done, the player chooses one of the following effects: Dodger. One attack roll made against you that you can see automatically misses, no matter what was rolled. Hardy. You succeed on your saving throw, and gain the effects of rogues evasion until the end of the current turn. Survivor You can expend your hero point after failing a death saving throw, or when suffering from massive damage. Changing your health to 0 and making you stable. At the DM's discretion you may suffer some signature injury (A scar, lost eye, a limp, and so on) befitting the circumstances, as a reminder that hero points will not always be there to save you. Born Expert You can expend a hero point before or after rolling a skill check, changing the roll to a natural 20. Hero points can't be used to alter the result of skill checks using Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. Hero points are meant as a burst of energy or force, they do not suddenly make someone more charismatic, or grant them knowledge of Dalarans vast library. PART 1 | PERSONALITY & BACKGROUND 143

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 144/153 Variant Rule: Mana W ith this variant rule, a character who has the Spellcasting feature uses mana instead of spell slots to fuel spells. Mana gives a caster more flexibility, at the cost of complexity. In this variant, each spell has a mana cost based on its level. The Mana Cost table summarizes the cost in mana of slots from 1st to 9th level. Cantrips don't require spell slots and therefor don't require mana. Instead of gaining a number of spell slots to cast your spells from the Spellcasting feature, you gain a pool of mana instead. You can expend a number of your mana to create a spell slot of a given level, and then use that slot to cast a spell. Your mana can't be reduce to less than 0, and you regain all spent mana when you finish a long rest. Spells of 6th level and higher are particularly straining to cast. You can use your mana to create one slot of each level of 6th or higher. You can't create another slot of the same level until you finish a long rest. The number of mana you have to spend is based on your level as a spellcaster, as shown in the Mana by Level table. Your level also determines the maximum-level spell slot you can create. Even though you might have enough mana to create a slot above this maximum, you can't do so. The Mana by Level table applies to druids, mages, paladins, priests and shaman. A druid (Feral or Guardian), and a paladin refer to the half-caster column of the table, whilst the remaining classes refer to the full caster column. This system can be applied to monsters that cast spells using spell slots, but it isn't recommended that you do so. Tracking mana expenditures for a monster can be a hassle.

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 147/153 Appendix B: Shaman Spirits S hamans bond with spirit animals and are granted their favor, making them able to assume the form of their spirit animal at will through the aid of the spirits of the wild. Whilst druids are able to take the complete shape of certain animals, shifting into various beasts, the strain upon a shamans ghost form lies much deeper within. As a result the shape they take appears as an incorporeal transparent shape in the material world. Most shamans choose one spirit animal, and sticks with that spirit animal throughout their life. Orcs and trolls commonly go for a dire wolf, a shape well known to both, known for its ferocity and speed. Whilst a dwarf might choose a bear, a steadfast companion by many of the dwarven kin. Think about your spirit animal, why and if it fits your character, a shamans spirit animal is in many ways an extension of who they are, reflecting their personality. The only limitation given upon a spirit animal is that it cannot have a swim, or fly speed. Shamans ghost form is limited, as so it has a specific set of statistics no matter which animal you choose, as shown in the Ghost Form class feature.

26/02/2019 Handbook v2.1 WIP | GM Binder https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LQAdAW83kBnZIN_BsPz 150/153 Appendix D: Special Tasks P restige classes require special tasks to be completed before a character can enter that class, this Appendix tries to explain the basics of what must be done for someone to become a Death Knight, or Demon Hunter. Bare in mind the information here is a mixture of canon and non-canon lore, and may not reflect how your DM goes about these tasks. Death Knight Task Complete a Special Task. To become a death knight you must find the dark simulacrum and perform the ritual presented in it. At which point you will be reawaken as a weak death knight. Finding the Dark Simulacrum Finding the dark simulacrum may prove an easy task, or an exceptionally hard one. It all depends on the DM and when they decide to make the item available for you. You might have it from level 1, an heirloom passed down through generations in your family, you may stumble upon it in a warlocks lair, or you might find it in a book store tucked away and gathering dust. The exact location of the book is a mystery to all but the DM, giving them the ability to implement it in whichever way they see fit. Using the Book There is not stages to becoming a death knight as there are with demon hunters, the transformation is much quicker and without as much preparation required. Any character able to read Common is able to read the interior of the book, and gain its benefits if they study it for 48 hours over a period of 6 days or fewer. This is true even if you are not a spellcaster and don't have any innate magic, you will still be granted the secrets of the book. Place of Power A place of power can be many things, there are not set list of specifics an area has to have to be a place a power, it could easily be a witches workshop, a necromancers demonic alter, or a mages study. These are simple places of power able to be found across Azeroth, but they might not always be available to the player, locked away or hidden. A place of power can be more than a spellcasters workshop. For a night elf it might be the world trees, for an orc the clans communion with the elements, for a human it might be a church to the Holy Light. A place of power can be more than something magically imbued, or something that has traces of past magic. It can be something icnoic, or with an emotional connection to a race or the player. A Guardian Angel To complete the ritual the player must call forth a val'kyr from the realm of shadows, these ascended vrykuls are remarkable and extraordinarily powerful creatures, most of whom serve either the titan keeper Odyn or the banshee queen Sylvanas. The called val'kul serves no master, and exists only through the book, should it be destroyed she is bound to the shadow realm for eternity. The val'kyr's alignment is neutral, and it uses the deva statblock, attacking only in self defense. Dark Simulacrum Wondrous item, rare This dark brown tome clad with a silver edge and a runic engraving on its front cover. If you spend 48 hours over a period of 6 days or fewer studying the book's contents and practicing its guidelines, you learn the spells Runeblade, Altar of Power, and Summon Val'kyr as well as how to perform a ritual with them to gain death knights power, these spells do not take up spell slots but can only be cast once per long rest each. Once the ritual has been done, you lose all memories of these spells. Then the tome loses its magic, but regains it in a year. Altar of Power Simulacrum necromancy Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: Touch Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour You touch a place of power, filling it with necrotic energy. Until the spells ends, the place of power is desecrated and able to function as an alter able to be used in the sacrificial ritual to gain the powers of the death knights. Runeblade Simulacrum enchantment Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Touch Components: V, S Duration: 10 hours You touch a nonmagical weapon, imbuing it with runes that runs along its edge. Until the spell ends, that weapon becomes a magical weapon able to be used in the sacrificial ritual to gain the powers of the death knights. Summon Val'kyr Simulacrum conjuration Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: 10 feet Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour You call forth a val'kyr from the shadow realm in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The val'kyr stays for 1 hour before disappearing again. The summoned val'kyr is neutral to you and your companions, and does not obey any commands you might give it. But is able to sense the presence of a magically imbued runeblade, and a desecrated altar of power. If the val'kyr is witness to player sacrificing themselves on an altar of power using the runeblade, the val'kyr uses 10 minutes to cast a unique version of resurrection, bringing the player back and granting them a level in the death knight class. The player gains none of the penalties normally granted by players brought back using resurrection. If the val'kyr resurrects a player, the val'kyr and dark simulacrum vanishes, and anyone who knew how to cast the spells granted by the dark simulacrum loses all memory of how the spells are performed. Once spell ends, the val'kyr vanishes leaving behind the dark simulacrum and the memories of how to cast the spells within. APPENDIX D | SPECIAL TASKS 150
