Along with giving characters the opportunity to advance within their guild, the chapter also provides new backgrounds that can be used to create even stronger connections to the setting, and ideas on what benefits the guilds can give every citizen of the Gold Coast. Another way to customize your characters can be found in Chapter 3, which adds many new spells that are familiar to Tamriel. These new spells could be included in character creation, or existing characters could find them in spellbooks or through mystical rewards. Chapter 4 is all about the fantastic magic items, treasures, and artifacts that can be used as rewards in a Cyrodiil campaign. Many of the items are interpretations of game mechanics that have been translated into something new for 5e, often inspired by the lore and flavor found in the video games. But this is only the beginning. There has been so much more already written for Legionnaire’s Guide to Cyrodiil. This is only the first part to the series. The second section will be coming in the near future and will include world building tools for Game Masters. Location guides, quest hooks, one-shot adventures, and a mini-campaign will help guide GMs through a Tamriel based game, or even set up new GMs with everything they need to start an adventure. A full bestiary, regional lore, and mechanics driven by the world will help create a rich setting in Cryodiil. All in all, this book is meant to inspire Game Masters and players alike in the world's greatest roleplaying setting using the world's greatest roleplaying game. USING THIS BOOK Inside these pages you will find many references to various mechanics. Color and style is used to differentiate, as shown of the following key: Italics: Spell found in the 5e Core Rules Red Italics: New spell found in Chapter 3 Bold: Monster or NPC found in the 5e Core Rules Red Bold: New Monster or NPC coming in Part 2 Blue Bold: Monster or NPC found in UESTRPG books Bold Italics: Magic item found in the 5e Core Rules Red Bold Italics: New Magic item found in Chapter 4 Red Text: New conditions found Appendix A. ABOUT THIS BOOK C yrodiil, the heart of the Empire is a land rife with history, wars, conflict, assassinations, coupes, and political intrigue. Back in 1994 when The Elder Scrolls: Arena was first released, this land was only known as the Imperial Province. It wasn’t until the adventure game, Redguard, that the province was given the name we know today, hidden in NPC dialogue. It wouldn’t be until Oblivion, the award winning fourth game in the main series, that we would truly see the beauty of Cyrodiil, which solidified its place in people's hearts. For Legionnaire’s Guide to Cyrodiil, the community surrounding UESTRPG came together in an epic way to create this massive tome. Filled with lore, mechanics, and goodies for Game Masters and players alike, this impressive project turned into far more than ever expected. The vast majority of this book was written by members of the community, rather than the project’s creator. This entire book is a reflection of everyone that has followed the project over the years and I can’t be happier with the passion and excitement that came forward. I have so much gratitude for everything that has happened this year and wanted to share a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved, from writers to readers. Thank you. This book provides everything a dungeon master needs to run games that are suitable to play within any portion of Cyrodiil, but with a focus on the Gold Coast. It guides you through the process of creating characters and adventures set there. The information in the book will be outlined in two parts. The first part contains many new options that are more player focused, while the second part will be more focused on information for the GM. Chapter 1 introduces many new Elder Scrolls themed subclass choices, with every class getting something new to add to the existing options found in the Basic Rules and other UESTRPG books. These options can be used in any 5e game setting, even outside of Tamriel. Chapter 2 adds even more customization to your characters by introducing some of the most popular guilds of Cyrodiil. Each of the eight guilds included provides new ways for characters to interact with the world around them and shape the very future of INTRODUCTION

6 L E G IONNA IR E ’ S GU ID E TO CYROD I IL WELCOME TO THE GOLD COAST "It's our natural barriers that keep us safe, mostly. Mountain borders north and east, open sea to the west, and bogs and rainforest to south." ―Adamus Phillida T he Gold Coast has always served as the Empire of Cyrodiil's gateway to the Abecean Sea. The picturesque area is a wonderful destination for travelers that seek the most interesting sights in Cyrodiil and enjoy the fine weather and sandy yellow beaches of Anvil. With bright sun and clear waves, the Gold Coast enjoys a pleasant climate fueled by warmer currents from the Abecean Sea. It offers a verdant paradise perfect for a hearty sort looking for true adventure. The chapters of this book will detail many of the creatures, items, and magic that can be found throughout all of Cyrodiil, but the details of particular locales are focused on the Gold Coast. THE GATEWAY TO AN EMPIRE The seat of power to many empires, Cyrodiil has been considered a gem since its discovery by the Aldmeri of Summerset. When the Ayleids fled their homeland to the then jungled wilds of Cyrodiil, much of the land was primal, raw, and untouched by mer or man. This new land would be the crowning jewel for eras to come. A sign of power and the foundation of Empires for the future of all of Tamriel. Nestled within the center of Tamriel, Cyrodiil has always been a highly sought after region since the settlement of the Ayleids during the Merethic Era. The region is lush, temperate, and considerably mild. Cyrodiil is made up of several smaller environments. To the west, the Great Forest cradles and protects the Imperial City, the Colovian Highlands border Hammerfell, and the glimmering Gold Coast connects the western shorelines. The Nibenay Basin dominates much of the central province, while the expansive countryside of the West Weald leads into the swampy Blackwood to the south. The Jerall Mountains of the north separates the heartland from Skyrim, and the Valus Mountains to the east borders Morrowind. This province's vast wealth is laid in its fertile fields, it’s numerous waterways, and its centralized positioning within Tamriel. Unlike much of its neighboring regions, Cyrodiil is quite hospitable for all people. While not as paradisaical as the Summerset Isles, Cyrodiil offers a vast array of landscapes from the oaks of the Great Forest to the vast vineyards of the West Weald. MERETHIC ERA With its discovery, the Ayleids began building the undeveloped wilds of what would later become the Heartlands of the province of Cyrodiil. The migrating mer discovered a singular race of birdfolk. This strange race of beastfolk is said to have not lasted long after their discovery. Whether this is due to being ERIC HE

7 slaughtered at the hands of the mer, or by some other natural extinction, the land that would be known as Cyrodiil was now available to the Wild Elves for the taking. Building on a lone isle, they formed what would be known as the White-Gold Tower. This marked the beginning of what would later be a constant struggle for political entities who would seek to sit upon the Ruby Throne. Spreading across the face of the land, the Wild Elves filled nearly every corner of Tamriel. This period of time was marked by the domination and tyrannical rule of the Ayleids. Under foot, men and beastfolk were subjected to slavery. Known for their decadence as much as their cruelty, these mer thought their rule would be unquestioned and unending. Seeing themselves as the very descendants of the Divines, the Ayleids of the merethic period held themselves as superior to all other races. While wars raged all around them, the elves of central Tamriel held strong as new races of man began their journey into the borders of their kingdom. Yokudan refugees began their settlement of the deserts of Hammerfell, and the proto-Nords of Atmora settled in northern Tamriel. As humanity furthered its reach, the Ayleid’s rule began to wither. Eventually, civil war would break out among the Ayleids. This was known as the Narfinsel Schism. These centuries-long wars raged between the Aedra worshiping Barsaebics and their Daedra worshiping brethren. This constant struggle and bloodshed would undoubtedly lead to their own demise. FIRST ERA The First Era, the Era of Man, found a shift in power in Cyrodiil when the Nedic slave Alessia rose up and declared her rebellion against her Ayleid masters in the mid-second century. Building an army from the ground up, the humans of Tamriel sought to break the binds of Mer supremacy. Demigods, such as Pelinal, whose gifts for battle were so legendary that he alone slaughtered vast scores of elves, joined the uprising. Soon, the Ayleids rule of Cyrodiil began to be shaken and they lost much of their empire. Short-lived and bloodied, in under three years, the fall of elven rule brought about the first empire of man as Empress Alessia took the Ruby Throne. Building an empire from the remnants of the elves, Alessia would carve a future of human dominance for Cyrodiil that would span eras. In time, the newly established humans of Cyrodiil would be known as the Imperials. Though, this empire would also crumble. Nearly two millennia after its inception, divisions began to break among the once loyal vassals. High Rock would first secede from the Empire, which would lead to numerous wars among men. After the conclusion of the War of Righteousness, the Alessian Order would dissolve, and with it, the first empire of man. Then came the invading Tsaesci of Akavir. Cutting through much of Cyrodiil and Skyrim, this unstoppable army would bring about the reunification of Colovia and the Nibenay. Led under Reman Cyrodiil, they drove back the Akaviri at the Battle of Pale Pass. In doing so, Reman set himself up to establish his own destiny. This second empire would see a vast expansion of power, even invading into Valenwood and later into Black Marsh. This era, along with the Reman Dynasty would both end with the assassination of Emperor Reman III at the hands of the Dunmeri Morag Tong. The Akaviri Potentate Versidue-Shaie assumed the throne and declared the Second Era had begun. SECOND ERA The Second Era would be marked with nearly unending wars, assassinations, and Daedric involvement in Nirn. It begins with the fall of the Second Empire, where Potentate Versidue-Shaie’s rule would end like Emperor Reman III before him. The Morag Tong would once more leave their mark on the world by assassinating the emperor and their heirs. As the last of his bloodline died, so did the last remnant of the Second Empire; and with it, plunged the whole of Tamriel into war known as the Interregnum. With no empire to quell the land and maintain order, three factions rose to take the Ruby Throne for their own: the Aldmeri Dominion, the Daggerfall Covenant, and the Ebonheart Pact. An age of constant war would rage within Cyrodiil itself as the three factions would rise to power and struggle to maintain control. Behind the backdrop of constant battling, machinations were of Daedric betryal were in the works. Mannimarco, the King of Worms, used his silver tongue and worked his magic with the agreeable Colovian lord, Varen Aquilarios. Convinced he would be emperor, Varen led his Five Companions on numerous quests that concluded with their recovery of the Amulet of Kings, which was brought back to the Temple of the One within the Imperial City. In an attempt to bless Varen with the same dragon’s blood as Alessia before him, Varen prayed to Akatosh to grant him this boon. As he beseeched the Dragon God, Mannimarco betrayed his companions. The ritual failed to relight the Dragonfires, and instead initiated the Planemeld with Molag Bal’s realm of Coldharbour. This event would later be recorded as the Soulburst. As the fates would have it, Mannimarco’s undoing would be from the same Five Companions that he once

8 L E G IONNA IR E ’ S GU ID E TO CYROD I IL betrayed, now joined by a being known only as the Vestige: a legendary hero of the Second Era whose soul was snatched by Molag Bal. Though history has lost who this individual was, they were instrumental in gathering the combined forces of both the Mages Guild and Fighters Guild to bring the fight to Molag Bal in his own realm in Coldharbour. There, the allies were aided by numerous lost souls within the realm of Oblivion, such as the Last of the Ayleid Kings, Laloriaran Dynar. With the combined forces, and the blessing of the Daedric Prince Meridia, the mortals of Nirn stood against the God of Schemes and struck him down, and with that, ending the Planemeld. With this cataclysmic event averted, the Three Banners War continued. Peace could not be found between the factions, even after a temporary truce to quell the invading Daedric forces. The war would be waged for nearly three hundred years, until the time of the Tiber Wars would begin.The legendary hero, General Talos, began a series of conflicts that would lead to the first unification of Tamriel. Establishing himself as the ruler of the Third Empire, Tiber Septim ushered in a new era as a relatively unheard of time of peace fell upon the lands. THIRD ERA The reign of the Septim Dynasty began in the opening year of the Third Era. With Tamriel unified under a single banner, kingdoms now took their place as vassals and provinces to a foreign Emperor. Mankind had proven itself as a conqueror, not unlike their former elven masters from eras past. While unification marked this era, peace was not an absolute, and not all Imperial Emperors were the most even headed, such was the case of Pelagius the Mad. The War of the Red Diamond was among the first of many conflicts that threatened to dissolve the Third Empire of man. A war over succession after the death of Emperor Antiochus, Queen Potema of Solitude wished for her children to take the Ruby Throne over her niece, the newly crowned Empress Kintyra II. While the empress’ reign was short lived, the War of the Red Diamond was likewise short, though many casualties would come as a result, including the dissolution of the Knights of the Nine. The following century would herald in more wars, leading up to Jagar Tharn’s pact with the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon. The fifth century would mark new rising threats due to increasing Daedric involvement with mortals. Beginning with the Imperial Simulacrum, the then Imperial Battlemage, Jagar Tharn took the guise of the imprisoned Emperor Uriel Septim VII, masquerading as the Emperor for a decade. This time was wrought with war and carnage across the whole of Tamriel. The War of Betony washed over High Rock and Hammerfell. This war would eventually end with the death of Lysandus, King of Daggerfall. But a hero known as the Eternal Champion would rise to overthrow the usurper and help restore order across the Empire. As the Sixth House’s influence spread across Vvardenfell, so did a mysterious weather-like phenomenon knows as the Blight. As the plague continued, Azura’s prophecy of the return of the Nerevarine became fulfilled. Dagoth Ur, the would-be Dunmer god of the Sixth House, sought to use the Heart of Lorkhan to empower the dwemer construct Akulakhan. In the bowels of Red Mountain, the Nerevarine confronted Dagoth Ur in single combat, besting him and stopping his plot of destruction. The events leading up to this conflict stripped the Dunmer Tribunal of their divine powers. As a result, Almalexia fell into madness as she strove for a means to regain her power. In her vain attempt, she betrayed Sotha Sil, killing him to try to garnish some measure of power. But, in the throws of her frenzy, the Nerevarine struck down the now mortal Almalexia. With the deaths of two of the Tribunal, and the disappearance of Vivec, the Dunmer people were left without the influence of the false gods. Some returned to their traditions of Daedric worship, while others sought to find faith in the Imperial Divines. As the waning years of the Third Era closed, so did the Third Empire. A sect of secretive Daedric worshipers known as the Mythic Dawn, followers of Mehrunes Dagon, began a plot of assassinations against the Septim Dynasty. With his three legitimate sons slain, Emperor Uriel Septim VII, led by his personal bodyguards, the Blades, sought his escape from the Imperial City. But as fate would have it, the Emperor would cross paths with a prisoner that was destined to end the oncoming Oblivion Crisis. Just before his death, Uriel gifted the Amulet of Kings to the prisoner, and commanded them to give the artifact to the leader of the Blades, find his illegitimate son, Martin, and to close shut the jaws of Oblivion. Following through with his dying decree, the prisoner, the one that would come to be known as the Champion of Cyrodiil, found Martin the priest within the ruins of the recently destroyed city of Kvatch. Over the course of the year, the pair would make a journey northward to the hidden Blades fortress of Sky Ruler Temple, bring about the undoing of the conspiracies of the Mythic Dawn cult, and cease Mehrunes’ invasion. As Oblivion gates that led to the Deadlands began to dot the land, the champion brought relics to Martin to perform a ritual to retrieve the stolen Amulet of Kings from the leader of the Mythic Dawn, Mankar Camoran. With the cultist leader defeated, and the amulet in hand, the champion led Martin to the Temple of the One in the Imperial City to relight the Dragonfires and

9 rebuke the invading Daedra. But as they entered the city, Mehrunes Dagon brought forth the full might of his armies, even manifesting himself in a physical form on Tamriel. Entering the Temple of the One, Martin lit the Dragonfires as Mehrunes Dagon burst through the domed room. In a flash, Martin became the flaming avatar of Akatosh. Dueling against the Daedric Prince, the avatar of Akatosh banished the Prince of Destruction, sealing off Oblivion once more from Nirn. But in doing so, the avatar turned to stone, leaving a testament for all to know that Martin Septim gave his life to protect Tamriel. With his sacrifice, the Septim Dynasty came to an end, and with it, the Third Empire and the Third Era. FOURTH ERA As the Fourth Era began, Tamriel changed with the shifting eras. The Red Year brought about the eruption of the Red Mountain that devastated Vvardenfell. Black Marsh would secede from the waning empire. High Chancellor Ocato was assassinated by the returning Thalmor, causing war to erupt once more. Titus Mede, a Colovian warlord, would rise to take control of the Imperial City and establish his own empire. Following this new empire, the Aldmeri Dominion, under the control of the Thalmor, was reestablished in Alinor. In doing so, both Summerset and Valenwood departed from the empire. The empire’s grasp on Tamriel continued to weaken as more and more lands would depart from the once unified continent. The Aldmeri would capitalize on this, beginning the Great War in 4E 171. Attacking both Cyrodiil and Hammerfell, the elves sought to lay claim to the Ruby Throne and establish their own empire. Attacking from both the south and the west, the Thalmor invaded with swiftness, striking quickly to reach the Imperial City. In the ensuing years, the Imperial City would be besieged by the Aldmeri, Titus Mede II would flee north in order to gather his forces, and a new hero, whose name had been forgotten by history, took up the guise of Titus II. The Forgotten Hero led an army to what would be known as the Battle of Red Ring. Defeating Lord Naarifin, his Daedric allies, and the main Aldmeri forces. The Empire once more took the Imperial City. With the end of the Great War, the Aldmeri entered into a peace treaty that would be known as the WhiteGold Concordat. This event brought upon the outlawing of Talos worship throughout Tamriel, angering the empire’s most loyal allies, the Nords of Skyrim and the Redguards of Hammerfell. Both of which would separate themselves from the Mede Dynasty and continue to war with the Thalmor. These events incurred a prophecy of the Elder Scrolls that spoke of the civil war between the Nords of Skyrim and the Imperials of Cyrodiil. Alduin the WorldEater reemerged and began to bring back the dragons of old. Though, the prophecy also spoke of the Last Dragonborn who would rise to defeat the dragon. In the course of a year, both Alduin and the civil war would come to a conclusion. LIFE IN CYRODIIL Cyrodiil is a far-reaching region that shares a border with most of the other provinces of Tamriel. Its central location on the continent has made it the pivotal province for political power, but it also offers itself as a home to all walks of life. Separated into 10 regions, each with their own unique landscapes, Cyrodiil has the ability to remind many outsiders of their home province. Seven main roads connect the twelve counties and the nine major cities. At the heart of it all is the Imperial City, the largest and most cosmopolitan city in all of Tamriel. CURRENCY: SEPTIMS The main currency of Cyrodiil, and all of Tamriel, is named after the Septim Empire. The coin has an image on Tiber Septim engraved on one side with the words “The Empire is Law. The Law is Sacred. On the opposite side is an image of Akatosh with “Praise be Akatosh and all the divines” along the edges. The coin is often referred to as a septim, a drake (due to the image of the dragon god), or simple as a gold piece. In UESTRPG, 4 septims is equal to 1 gp from the standard 5e rules. COSMOPOLITAN COMFORTS A melting pot of peoples and cultures, Cyrodiil attracts many inside its borders. Likely because of this, and the central location, there is ample access to goods from all cultures. Beautiful breads from across Tamriel and otherwise foreign delicacies are often available, especially within the Imperial City. Within the borders, the citizens of Cyrodiil enjoy a relatively protected life, especially those living inside the safety of the walled cites. Here the greatest comforts of Tamrielic life can be enjoyed.

12 L E G IONNA IR E ’ S GU ID E TO CYROD I IL BARBARIAN Everywhere across Tamriel, from the serene coasts of Alinor to the unforgiving fjords of Skyrim, barbarians call upon the rage inside them. Some mark themselves with magical inks to draw on their raw emotional power. Others redirect their unrelenting furor into focused training, and there are those that extract strength from their natural surroundings. The barbarian class receives new subclasses in this section. PRIMAL PATHS At 3rd level, a barbarian gains the Primal Path feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: Path of the Fearless, Path of the Vanguard, and Path of the Wilds.

ENCHANTER Enchantment is as much an art as is it is a science when it comes to practitioners of the magical arts. As runestones can be found throughout all of Tamriel, knowledge of these runes seems to come from a mage’s connection to Mundus.

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one nonmagical weapon, arcane focus, armor, robe, or shield and inscribe a rune onto it. The item becomes magical and the wielder of the object becomes immediately attuned to it. While attuned, each rune grants the following bonuses: ◈ Armor, robes, and shields inscribed with this rune grant the wearer resistance to the rune’s damage type, as shown on the Essence Rune table. ◈ Attacks made with a weapon or arcane focus that are inscribed with this rune deal an additional 1d4 damage once on each of the wielder's turns. The essence rune determines the damage type. Your rune remains on an object until you finish a long rest. An object can bear only one rune at a time, and a creature can only be attuned to one item enchanted with a rune. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one rune you know with a different one.

Within blood, comes control over those who would defy the very whims of these necromancers.

A creature marked in this manner takes extra necrotic damage whenever it takes bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage. Roll a number of d4’s equal to half of your proficiency bonus (rounded down) and add this total to the damage dealt. BLOODLETTER 6th-level Sanguine Puppetry feature When a creature within 30 feet of you is harmed by bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, and the target isn't a construct, plant, or an undead, you can use your reaction to magically siphon a portion of their blood in order to empower yourself until the end of your next turn. While empowered this way, the first time you hit a target with an attack, you deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to that attack. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

This art breaches the world that most inhabitants of Tamriel are familiar with, through calling upon the dark energies to bring the destruction of the void through, or by crossing between the two to hide in the shadows. These necromancers are often worshipers of the Dread Father, Sithis, but they could also be followers of the Old Gods, as those of Reach.

Combining magic and stealth, they use concealment to get close to their enemies. Many follow sinister paths of murder, or call out to the souls of the dead to enhance their power. Nightblades are seldom seen, though their hand is certainly felt. The nightblade class receives new subclasses in this section. PATH OF DARKNESS At 1st level, a nightblade gains the Path of Darkness feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: Night Mother’s Shadow and Phantom Blade. NIGHT MOTHER'S SHADOW A lifetime of murder and death has been left in your wake. Upon the night after your first murder, you were greeted by a hooded figure, known as a speaker, who offered you a chance at a new life and a new family among the Brotherhood. Taking to the path of the Night Mother's Shadow, Nightblades of this order fully embrace the darkness that they stalk in. PATH SPELLS 1st-level Night Mother’s Shadow feature You gain path spells at the nightblade levels listed in the Night Mother’s Shadow Path Spells table.

You are granted the use of a magical short sword or dagger (your choice) known as the assassin’s blade. You are bonded to this weapon and it counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. You can summon your assassin’s blade as a bonus action, which appears in your free hand. As a bonus action, you can dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space. Your assassin’s blade disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), if you use a bonus action to summon it again, or if you fall unconscious. When you attack and hit a creature that is surprised with the assassin’s blade, the target takes an extra 2d6 damage from the attack. As your nightblade level increases, so does your assassin’s blade’s power. At certain levels your assassin’s blade gains new properties that increases its attack and damage rolls. At 6th level, you have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. This increases by +1 at 10th level (to +2), and again at 14th level (+3).

It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required). Its actions are listed on its stat block, or it can take some other action. If you don't issue any commands to the spirit, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger. If you are incapacitated, the spirit can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

CHA PT ER 1: PLAY ER O PT ION S 39 PRIEST Many pantheons exist across Tamriel, and though some deities appear across these lines, different cultures view these entities differently. Priests are frequently known for proclaiming the words of their deities and proselytizing on their behalf. Some call out warnings and cautionary prophecies of doom, while others use their voice to spread joy and and merriment. The priest class receives new subclasses in this section. DIVINE CALLING At 1st level, a priest gains the Divine Calling feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: Doomsayer and Reveler. DOOMSAYER Speakers of misfortune and of fate, Doomsayers are gifted—or cursed—with the divine blessing of foresight and foretelling of destiny. Seen as mad at first, those who do not believe their words are often felled by the grim prophecies of a Doomsayer. Their warnings should be heeded. Those of this calling are often gifted with a superior connection to mysticism. These prophets of destruction and destiny are typically considered gloom to be around. Their talents guide them toward deities of fate and prophecy (Azura), knowledge (Julianos, Xarxes), or even time and destruction (Akatosh, Auriel, Mehrunes Dagon). CALLING SPELLS 1st-level Doomsayer Feature You gain calling spells at the priest levels listed in the Doomsayer Calling Spells table. See the Divine Calling class feature for how calling spells work. Doomsayer Calling Spells Priest Level Spells 1st bane, detect evil and good 3rd augury, magic mouth 5th clairvoyance, tongues 7th arcane eye, divination 9th commune, scrying BONUS CANTRIP 1st-level Doomsayer Feature You learn the vicious mockery cantrip. It counts as a priest cantrip for you, but it doesn't count against your number of cantrips known. FOREBODING PREMONITION 1st-level Doomsayer Feature During a long rest, you gain premonitions of future events yet to occur. You glimpse into the future and gain a number of premonition dice equal to your Willpower modifier (minimum 1). These dice are d6s. As a reaction, you can grant one of these dice to a creature that you can see that is subjected to a saving throw as a result of a harmful effect from a trap, an ability, or a spell. The creature rolls your premonition die and adds the number rolled to their total. The die must be expended before the result of the roll is determined. You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest. CHANNEL DIVINITY: FRIGHTFUL OMEN 2nd-level Doomsayer Feature You can use your Channel Divinity to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies. As an action, you present your holy symbol and you utter a word that strikes fear in the hearts of those who stand against you or your allies. Choose one humanoid within 60 feet of you. The target must make a Willpower saving throw or become frightened of another humanoid of your choosing. On a failed save, for the next minute, the target is frightened of the chosen humanoid. At the start of each of their turns, the target repeats this save. On a success, this effect ends. At 10th level, you can target two creatures instead of one with this feature, and you can target three creatures when you reach 18th level. Each creature can be frightened of a different humanoid of your choice, or the same one.

When a creature rolls one of your premonition dice and fails their saving throw, any damage the creature received as part of the failed save is reduced by a number equal to the number rolled on the die + your proficiency bonus + your Willpower modifier (minimum 1). If you reduce the damage to 0, the number remaining is granted as temporary hit points to the creature. DIVINE STRIKE 8th-level Doomsayer Feature You gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8. DOOMED SOUL 17th-level Doomsayer Feature Your sight into death protrudes into reality, allowing you a brief moment to change the fate of a doomed soul. When a creature fails a death saving throw within 60 feet of you, as a reaction, you can grant the target an additional 1d6 to the death saving throw by expending one of your premonition dice, possibly changing their doomed fate and making the attempt a success instead. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. REVELER Always the life of the party, a Reveler shines in the presence of others, and uses their good sense of merriment and cheer to embolden those around them. Priests of this calling make it their life's work to always provide something to celebrate and will push themselves to their physical limits if needed to keep up. Whether followers of Dibella, goddess of love, art, and music, or Sanguine, the Daedric Prince of hedonism, a Reveler ensures that there is never a dull moment.

The target must use the result of the second roll. Alternatively, whenever an ally within 15 feet of you becomes stable, you can use your reaction to restore 1 hit point and grant 2d10 temporary hit points to the target.

The ranger class receives new subclasses in this section. RANGER ARCHETYPES At 3rd level, a ranger gains the Ranger Archetype feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: Green Pact Keeper and Sellsword. GREEN PACT KEEPER To those who follow the Green Pact, there is nothing more important than to uphold their promise to Y’ffre. Bosmer of the Treaty of Frond and Leaf allow this code to dictate their everyday lives. It binds them to the trees, the rivers, and the creatures of the great forests of Tamriel. Green Pact Keepers draw upon powers granted by Y’ffre to maintain their vow. RESTRICTION: BOSMER ONLY Only Bosmer can become Green Pact Keepers as the Green Pact only affects them. Your GM can lift this restriction to better suit the campaign or your character. BONUS PROFICIENCIES 3rd-level Keeper feature You gain proficiency with cook’s utensils and brewer’s supplies. SPELLCASTING 3rd-level Keeper feature As a reward for following the strict rules of the Green Pact, Y’ffre has granted you the ability to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells. See the Chapter 10 of the Basic Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and Chapter 11 for the warden spell list. Cantrips. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the warden spell list. You learn an additional cantrip of your choice at 10th level. Magicka. The Green Pact Spellcasting table shows how much magicka you have to cast your warden spells of 1st level and higher. The table also shows what the level spells you can cast. To cast one of your warden spells of 1st level or higher, must expend magicka, as noted in the spell's description and the Magicka Cost table found in chapter 10 of the Basic Rules. You regain all expended magicka when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell hail of thorns and have a Spell Level of 2nd, you can cast hail of thorns using magicka to cast it at either level. Spells known of 1st level and higher. You know three 1st-level warden spells of your choice from the warden spell list. The Spells Known column of the Green Pact Spellcasting table shows when you learn more warden spells of 1st level or higher.

In addition, you use your Willpower modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warden spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your Proficiency bonus + your Willpower modifier Spell attack modifier = your Proficiency bonus + your Willpower modifier EXPANDED SPELL LIST 3rd-level Keeper feature As a Green Pact Keeper, you can choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warden spell.

When a creature uses its action to drink this magically infused rotmeth, it can add your Willpower modifier to any Strength and Endurance attribute checks that it makes for the next hour. GREEN SHAPING 11th-level Keeper feature You can use an action to chant a song of nature, allowing you to shape a natural area to meet your needs. The area can be up to a 10-foot cube. Buildings and other structures are excluded from the affected area. This feature creates up to two of the following effects within this area, which lasts for the next minute. When you create the effects, you can specify creatures as friends who are immune to these effects. A dispel magic cast on the area removes only one of the effects, and the spellcaster chooses which effect to end. Only when all of the effects are ended is the area fully dispelled. ◈ The area thickens with plant growth and is considered difficult terrain. ◈ Natural difficult terrain magically transforms and no longer affects you and the creatures you choose. ◈ Bramble covered in thorns grows over the area, dealing 1d4 piercing damage to any creature that enters the area for the first time or starts their turn there. ◈ Vines grab at Large or smaller creatures that enter the area for the first time or start their turn there.

ROGUISH ARCHETYPES At 3rd level, a rogue gains the Roguish Archetype feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass.

Attempting to embody the change desired by Sithis, these rogues have motives that are often misunderstood, except by their associates. The Chosen are most often assassins with the Dark Brotherhood, but could also be members of the Dunmeri Morag Tong. Other worshipers of Sithis are the Argonians, especially the Shadowscales, of the Black Marsh, who accept and bring the greatest change: death. SEED OF SITHIS 3rd-level Chosen of Sithis feature You gain powers that are fueled by special dice called Sithis dice. At 3rd level this die is a d6. This die increases in size at 6th level (1d8), 11th level (1d10), and 17th (1d12). Your affiliation with the Dread Lord allows you to use a bonus action to imbue a target with the power of Sithis, marking them for death. This mark gives you alone power over your foe. ◈ While marked, once on each of your turns, when you miss an attack against the target, it takes necrotic damage equal to the number you roll on your sithis die. ◈ All your attacks of opportunity against that target have advantage. ◈ When you reduce the target to 0 hit points you gain hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). ◈ The marked target has disadvantage on all saving throws prompted by you. This benefit lasts until you finish a short rest. When the marked creature is reduced to 0 hp you can use a bonus action to mark a new creature hostile to you. If you do not mark another creature by the end of your next turn, the power fades. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest VOID CLOUD 9th-level Chosen of Sithis feature As an action, you can cast the darkness spell without expending magicka points. When you cast the spell in this manner, the spell functions with the following changes: ◈ It is centered on yourself and moves with you. ◈ The radius is reduced to 10 feet. ◈ You and up to 5 willing creatures of your choice can see through it. ◈ It does not require concentration to maintain, and you can end the effect early as a bonus action. Once you use this feature, you can not use it again until finishing a long rest. THE CULLING 13th-level Chosen of Sithis feature Whenever you kill a creature marked by the Seed of Sithis, you can use a reaction to draw part of its soul out and form it into an invisible barrier around you. Roll your Sithis die and add the number rolled to your AC until the start of your next turn. CALL OF SITHIS 17th-level Chosen of Sithis feature As an action, you draw dread from the souls of those you have killed in the past and discharge the energy, forcing all creatures you choose within 30 feet of you to make a Willpower saving throw (DC 8 + your Intelligence modifier + you proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 5d10 necrotic damage, or half as much on a successful one. If this damage reduces one or more Small or larger hostile creatures to 0 hit points, you can make one additional weapon attack as part of the Attack action on your next turn. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

46 L E G IONNA IR E ’ S GU ID E TO CYROD I IL INFILTRATOR Gifted in deception and disguises, rogues of this nature may find themselves bridging between a world of lies, robbery, and guile. While sneaking has its merits, an infiltrator knows there is more than one way to complete a job. Walking in the front door and robbing a mark blind can be just as profitable as breaking in through a second story window, with far less chance of breaking one's neck. Similar in many ways to con-artists or thieves, these gab-gifted rogues use their suave ways in an attempt to mislead wealthy widows, naive entrepreneurs, and trusting simpletons. TOOLS OF THE TRADE 3rd-level Infiltrator feature You've learned how to excel at the finer points of deception. You gain proficiency with the disguise kit and the Deception skill. SMILE OF FORTUNE 3rd-level Infiltrator feature You've learned how to turn failure into success. When you roll a 1 on your precision dice, you can reroll the die and you must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1. CONVINCING CON 6th-level Infiltrator feature You've learned how to get your way, whether it’s getting out of trouble with the guards or getting someone to turn a blind eye to your deeds. If caught in the act of thievery, trespassing, or generally being somewhere or doing something you shouldn't be, you have advantage on Personality checks made to attempt to bribe, seek clemency, or otherwise talk your way out of the situation. ESCAPE ARTIST 9th-level Infiltrator feature Your deft movements and training of getting yourself out of sticky situations allows you a greater ability to avoid being pinned down. You have advantage on all checks to escape a grapple. Additionally, you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on each of your turns. When you take your bonus action to Dash, opportunity attacks against you have disadvantage. SWIFTLY FORGOTTEN 13th-level Infiltrator feature You've learned how to quickly change your appearance in order to slip away from a scene. Spending 1 minute using your disguise kit, you attempt to craft a disguise that involves moderate changes to your appearance to pass yourself off as that of another person. While in this disguise, you can roll your precision dice and add the total to any Personality (Deception) checks made to convince others of your new identity. DECEPTIVE FIGHTING 17th-level Infiltrator feature Your knack for deception extends to your fighting. As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can attempt to mislead attackers with sly and deft movements. A target of your choosing within 60 feet of you must make an opposed Willpower (Insight) check against your Personality (Deception) check. On a failure, the target makes its attacks against you with disadvantage until the start of your next turn. If the target is within 5 feet of you, the creature also has disadvantage on all attacks made against any of your allies that are within 5 feet of the target.

CHA PT ER 1: PLAY ER O PT ION S 47 SORCERER Drawing from power within themselves, sorcerers are some of the mightiest spellcasters found on Tamriel. Strengthened by the magical energies of Aetherius or an unexpected ancestry permeated with vestiges of an immortal being, sorcerers can tap into a wellspring of power unavailable to others. Some sorcerers can even innately access the knowledge of their ancestors and the training they gained over the generations. The sorcerer class receives new subclasses in this section. SORCERY FOCUS At 1st level, a sorcerer gains the Sorcery Focus feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: Aetherial Herald, Daedric Ancestry, and the Dunewalker. AETHERIAL HERALD When Magnus and his followers fled from the creation of the Mundus, their departure left the sky riddled with rifts to Aetherius, the sun and stars. Those who feel an increased connection to the constellations are gifted with increased magical powers as the essence from Aetherius flows within their soul. Aetherial Herald sorcerers draw their arcane powers from the stars and are known for their magical aptitude. STAR-TOUCHED 1st-level Aetherial Herald feature You are sometimes given energy from the Aetherial magic that flows through the stars, allowing you to cast spells without effort. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose to make a spellcasting attribute check with a DC equal to 15 + the level of the spell that is cast. On a successful check, you cast the spell without expending any magicka. Once you successfully gain the benefits of this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. POWER SHIFT 6th-level Aetherial Herald feature You are able to channel the constellations to infuse your spells with magic from Aetherius. Your damaging cantrips and 1st-level spells deal additional force or radiant damage (your choice) equal to your Willpower modifier (minimum of 1). The damage bonus applies to one damage roll of a spell. ONE WITH THE CONSTELLATIONS 14th-level Aetherial Herald feature Every bit of energy you use finds its way back to the incredible fonts of magic that reside within the constellations, causing them to shine brightly upon you. Every time you absorb magicka through your Capacitor feature, you roll on the Aetherial Constellations table. Roll a d12 twice and choose either of the numbers rolled to determine which constellation shines upon you, gaining that benefit. If you roll the same number on both dice, you must take the Serpent’s boon. TWICE BORN STAR 18th-level Aetherial Herald feature Your celestial connection grants you the blessing of the stars. Choose an additional birthsign from the Constellation Table as part of character creation. You gain the benefits the of both of your birthsigns, and can't choose the same birthsign twice.

48 L E G IONNA IR E ’ S GU ID E TO CYROD I IL DAEDRIC ANCESTRY Your innate power comes from Daedric magic that was mingled with your blood or with that of your ancestors. Most often, sorcerers with this focus trace their descent back to a mighty sorcerer of ancient times who made a bargain with a Daedric Prince or who might even have claimed a Daedroth parent. Some of these bloodlines are well established in the world, but most are obscure. Any given sorcerer could be the first of a new bloodline, as a result of a pact or some other exceptional circumstance.
