FORCECASTING
When you choose this approach at 3rd level, you have
derived powers from your primal connection to the

forcecasting and chapter 11 for the force powers list.
FORCE POWERS KNOWN
You learn 4 force powers of your choice, and you learn
more at higher levels, as shown in the Force Powers
Known column of the Marauder Approach Forcecasting
table. You may not learn a force power of a level higher
than your Max Power Level, and you may learn a force
power at the same time you learn its prerequisite.
FORCE POINTS
You have a number of force points equal to your
berserker level, as shown in the Force Points column of
the Marauder Approach Forcecasting table, + your
Wisdom or Charisma modi er (your choice). You use
these force points to cast force powers. You regain all

RECKLESS POWER 56
At 6th level, weapons and the force are equally an
extension of your rage. While you are raging and you
use your action to cast a force power, you can make a
single melee weapon attack as a bonus action.
POWERFUL PRESENCE
Starting at 10th level, as a bonus action, you unleash a
battle cry infused with force energy. Choose up to ten
other creatures of within 60 feet of you that can hear
you. Friendly creatures have advantage on attack rolls
and saving throws until the start of your next turn, and
hostile creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls and
saving throws until the end of your next turn.
Once you've used this feature, you can't use it again
until you nish a long rest.
FORCE STORM
At 14th level, you can expel the might of your rage all
at once to unleash a devastating storm of force energy.
As an action, you can end your rage early, forcing each
creature within 15 feet of you to make a Dexterity
saving throw against your universal force save DC. On
a failed save, a creature takes 1d12 force damage for
each round you've spent in rage, or half as much on a
successful one.
CHAPTER 3 | CLASSES | BERSERKER
PRECISION APPROACH
Some berserkers have learned to channel their rage
into a method of increasing their focus and precision
to supernatural levels. Those berserkers who choose
the Precision Approach hone their rage to a ne point,
becoming agile warriors who ruthlessly dispatch their
foes.
CAREFUL STEPS
When you choose this approach at 3rd level, you gain
skills that represent your precise movement. You gain
pro ciency your choice of Acrobatics or Stealth. While
raging, you have advantage on checks you make with
the chosen skill.
FOCUSED RAGE
Also at 3rd level, you hone your rage to a razor sharp
focus. While raging, when you make a melee weapon
attack using Dexterity, you add your rage damage to
the damage roll. Additionally, you can use your
Reckless Attack feature to give you advantage on
melee weapon attacks using Dexterity during your
turn.
BATTLE ANTICIPATION
At 6th level, while raging, your critical hit range with
melee weapon attacks using Dexterity increases by 1.
IMPROVED DANGER SENSE
Starting at 10th level, while raging, when you are
subjected to an e ect that allows you to make a
Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage
against e ects that you can see, such as traps and
powers, you are treated as pro cient in the save, and
you instead take no damage if you succeed on a saving
throw, and only half damage if you fail.
CALM WITHIN THE STORM
At 14th level, the precision with which you act during
your rage causes you to become a storm of reactive
lethality. When you use your Reckless Attack feature,
you can make a number of opportunity attacks equal
to your pro ciency bonus without using your reaction,
and when a creature within 5 feet of you misses you
with an attack, you can use your reaction to make a
melee weapon attack using Dexterity against that
creature. You can only take one reaction per turn.

to wash away their fatigue.
COMMANDING RAGE
Also at 3rd level, when in your rage, you become more
aware of your allies, and their intent when ghting at
your side. While you are raging, when an ally within 10
feet of you makes an attack roll against an enemy, you
can use your reaction to grant advantage to that attack
and add your rage damage bonus to the damage roll, if
the attack hits.
INSPIRING PRESENCE
At 6th level your mere presence on the
battle eld rallies your allies. When you rage,
choose up to 3 allies that you can see within 30 feet
of you. Each creature gains temporary hit points equal
to half your berserker level (rounded down) + your
Charisma modi er (minimum of one).
RAID PLANNING
Starting at 10th level, you learn to are up your allies'
drive for combat, urging them to follow you into the
fray. During a long rest, you tell sagas, sing battle
songs, and give inspiring speeches. At the end of the
long rest choose up to 5 creatures that can hear and
understand you (which can include yourself) to add
your Charisma modi er (minimum of one) to their next
initiative roll, and a 10 foot bonus to their speed on
their rst turn of combat.
WAR CHANT
By 14th level you have memorized the litanies, songs,
and chants of your people and their dedication to war.
When you enter a rage you can take a commanding
stance. If you do so, for the duration of your rage you
have a special reaction you can take on a number of
allies' turns equal to your Charisma modi er (minimum
of one). You can only use this special reaction to use
your Commanding Rage feature.
Additionally, during this rage, when an enemy within
10 feet of you makes an attack roll against an ally, you
can use your reaction to reduce that roll by an amount
equal to your Charisma modi er.
Once you've used this feature, you must complete a
long rest before you can use it again.

CONSULAR TRADITIONS
Di erent consulars select di erent traditions, called

FORCE BARRIER
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can
weave the Force around yourself for protection. When
you cast a universal power of 1st level or higher, you
can simultaneously manipulate the Force to create a
barrier on yourself that lasts until you nish a long rest.
The barrier has hit points equal to twice your consular
level + your Wisdom or Charisma modi er (your
choice). Your barrier can never have hit points
greater than twice your consular level +
your Wisdom or Charisma modi er
(your choice).
Whenever you take damage, the barrier
takes the damage instead. If this damage
reduces the barrier to 0 hit points, you take
any remaining damage.
While the barrier has 0 hit points, it can't
absorb damage, but its power remains.
Whenever you cast a universal power of 1st level or
higher, the barrier regains a number of hit points equal
to twice the level of the power.
Once you create the barrier, you can't create it again
until you nish a long rest.
PROJECTED BARRIER
At 6th level, when a creature that you can see within 30
feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to
cause your Force Barrier to absorb that damage. If this
damage reduces the barrier to 0 hit points, the warded
creature takes any remaining damage.
AT-WILL BARRIER
Beginning at 10th level, your at-will universal powers
grant a small boost to your Force Barrier. When you
cast an at-will universal power, the barrier regains 1 hit
point.

For a monk, becoming an adventurer means leaving
a structured, communal lifestyle to become a
wanderer. This can be a harsh transition, and monks
