Achar

Mechanically Achar thrives on random chance rolls. His entire playstyle is a gamble, tapping into the iniquity and The Carousel of Discord - two areas rife with dark magic - due to his warlock pact with the dark entity Strife.

What Strife wants is not entirely known, but she has given Achar a variety of gifts.

Pact of Strife's Emissary

• You can use your bonus action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it. You are proficient with it while you wield it. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

• Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.

• You can transform one magic weapon into your pact 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.

• Darkvision

• You can then dismiss the weapon, placing it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.

• All pact weapons at level 5 onwards start infused with dark magic (see infuse weapon.)

• When you summon your pact weapon you lose one sanity.

• Whenever you summon your pact weapon, roll on the shadow sickness table. You do NOT take any damage or lose any sanity when you do this regardless as to the result. However, enemies and allies (when necessary) will take damage or be affected.

• Gain access to Consume Infused Darkness - consume an infused weapon’s dark energy to regain 1d6 + 1d4 hp per character level.

• When at low HP Strife will offer her assistance to you. So long as you have an inspiration, avoid going into the dying state. Regain 2d12 + 1d4 healing per character level. The more inspiration you have, the more health you regain.

Range: 60 Ft

A dark portal opens where you wish in a 60 ft range. Something appears from the whirling mass of dark energy. This portal has different effects, which you roll on a d4.

1 - A large, circular platform erupts from the dark portal, striking an enemy. Black fire lanterns adorn this platform, causing blackened flame to engulf whatever this platform slams against. Roll for insanity.

The enemy must make a dexterity saving throw. Enemies large size or higher roll at a disadvantage. If this hits, the platform does 3d6 black flame damage to the individual it hits. Any time the enemy takes damage over the battle, they take an additional 1d6 black flame damage rolled by the summoner.

2 - A dark portal opens where you wish in a 60 ft range. Dozens of small white pebbles fire from the portal in rapid succession, damaging everything standing in a 60ft line in front of the portal. This is a basic attack roll which does 6d4 + your spellcasting modifier. Add 1 additional d4 per level of insanity the player is at, plus add an additional 1d4 for each player level above 5. Roll for insanity.

3 - A dark portal opens where you wish in a 60 ft range. A shadowy mist seeps across the battlefield in a 120 foot radius, causing 1d20 necrotic damage on a failed Constitution save to everyone but the summoner. Everyone hit by this attack has one turn skipped. The summoner takes 2d4 self-damage.

4 - A dark portal opens where you wish in a 60 ft range. A great blade of shadowy energy shoots forth from the portal, which the user can command for the next 5 turns with their mind. This blade can float 60 ft from the user at any time and lasts one day before fading away. This sword can ONLY attack one time per turn, even if the user has the multi-attack action. The blade adds 1 additional attack roll to the summoner’s attack action as well as shooting an additional line of dark energy during the expel dark energy ability. The sword can also apply advantage similar to any other player. Summoner is healed for 2d4. Only 3 blades can be active at a time.

The blade adds 1 additional attack roll to the summoner’s attack action as well as shooting an additional line of dark energy during the expel dark energy ability. The sword can also apply an advantage similar to any other player. Summoner is healed for 2d4.

You now gain the ability to "corrupt" allies magic on reaction, adding 1d8 necrotic damage to all of their spells.

Shadow Sickness

Shadow sickness is a disease transmitted to an individual who has been exposed to extreme amounts of direct contact with dark magic. Not all dark magic causes shadow sickness, but much of it does. Most dark magicians suffer from a form of shadow sickness which leads most to an early grave.

There are a variety of effects which shadow sickness causes. Insanity, the breaking of the mind, hallucinations, coughing fits and uncontrolled bursts of energy among them. Oftentimes individuals suffering from shadow sickness will wake to black stains and dead vegetation around them. Nights can become restless and sleep is difficult because of this.

Cures

Songstresses are known to help counteract this strange sickness, although it is unsure as to how. So-called “sanity potions” can also help keep the mind calm during bouts of sickness. However, most individuals suffering from shadow sickness will, undoubtedly, die.

There are no known cures.

Those inflicted by shadow sickness will draw dark entities toward them. They will corrupt other magic inadvertently. They will speak of shadows and strangeties around them and become more sensitive to various magics. Many fall into paranoia induced fits or grow irritable, slowly losing their minds before becoming fully corrupted.

5e Rules

Whenever someone with dark magic casts a spell or cantrip consult the below table. Roll a d10 for additional effects when required.

1

Corruption - The spell is corrupted by dark energy. Healing magic now deals damage to you AND enemies. Spells gain the “dark energy” tag which gives them an additional effect (at the dms discretion). Normally 1d6 + 1d6 per character level additional damage.

In turn, this extra damage takes 1d4 + 1d4 hp per chara level health from the user. Add an insanity token.

2

Hallucination - The caster begins to hallucinate something nearby. Depending on the scenario may require a frightened saving throw. Dc14 or higher to avoid being frightened. (Dm discretion.)

Dark lure - A pulse of dark magic draws nearby dark entity’s attention. (Dm discretion.) Sometimes nothing will happen, but if a dark entity is nearby it will inevitably be drawn to the party. Add an insanity point.

4

Dark Magic Discharge - An explosion of dark magic erupts from the individual, doing 1d10 + 1d10 per extra player level - damage to them and anyone within a 15 foot radius. All creatures must make a dexterity saving throw to avoid this damage. If they fail they take full damage. Otherwise, they take half. (Spell save dc.)

Insanity

Short rest - Remove 1 point - If visited The Carousel, Remove 0 Points

Basic Information: HEAVIAN SURVIVALIST CLASS

Heaven Survivalists come from a planet of ash and death. Due to the nature of their living conditions, they tend to be relatively hearty and capable in combat. Experts in detecting biohazards and dealing with enemies at mid to long range, they’re well-versed in weaponry and in particular guns. Survivalists tend to use their own equipment and specialize in keeping it up to date and in good condition.

While they often travel alone they are not complete loners and can work in groups fairly well. Known for their black armor and gas mask-helmet hybrids, they fight as mercenaries across the known universe. Most common folk fear them and they are viewed as incredibly intimidating.

Most men and women that work as Heavion Survivalists/Warriors are of the Heavian race, however there are some exceptions.

Second Wind

You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.Gain an extra charge at level 10.

Grit

At level 2 you gain a number of grit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) + +1d4 grit points. You regain 1 expended grit point each time you roll a 20 on the d20 roll for an attack with a firearm, or deal a killing blow with a firearm to a creature of significant threat (DM’s discretion). You regain all expended grit points after a short or long rest. You use grit to accomplish various abilities, including the below trick shots. At level 4, double these points. At level 10, triple them. At level 12 add an additional grit point. At level 15, add +2 grit points.

Saving Throws: Some of your trick shots require your targets to make a saving throw to resist the trick shot’s effects.

The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Trick Shot save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier - at level 4, this changes to 10 + your prof bonus + your dex modifier. At level 5, If you have not moved this turn, enemies have disadvantage on your trick shot.

Trick Shots

These trick shots are presented below.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 3rd level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Can also be done with firearms.

The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 8th level in this class and to four when you reach 13th level in this class. 5 at level 20.

Firearm Properties

Firearms bring their own unique set of weapon properties. You can find all worldwalker related custom weapons at this link here. These properties replace the optional ones presented in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Firearms are ranged weapons.

Reload

The weapon can be fired a number of times equal to its Reload score before you must spend 1 attack or 1 action to reload. You must have one free hand to reload a firearm.

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 Tinker’s Tools or Gunner’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. Creatures who use a firearm without being proficient increase the weapon’s misfire score by 1.

Explosive

Upon a hit, everything within 5 ft of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier) or suffer 1d8 fire damage. If the weapon misses, the ammunition fails to detonate, or bounces away harmlessly before doing so.

Ammunition

All firearms require ammunition to make an attack and at times ammunition may be near impossible to find or purchase. However, if materials are gathered, you can craft ammunition yourself using your Gunner Kit/Tools at half the cost. Each firearm uses its own unique ammunition and is generally sold or crafted in batches listed below next to the price.

Love of Guns (Level 4)

Add an additional 1d6 damage to all gun damage per character level until level 10. At level 10, all of these dice become d12.

Standard 5e Warlock Rules with some slight alterations: (Speak to DM)

Warlock of the Chandelier

At 1st level, you have struck a bargain with an otherworldly being of your choice: The Chandelier of Bones

A higher attunement to ghosts and ethereal entities. Spirits and other beings will be drawn to you.

This changes your hit die to be 1d8 + constitution

HP is constitution-based.

Your Character Gains advantage on all “frightened” throws (see 5e frightened rules.)

On critical attack success, add an additional 1d6 to all damage rolls at level 1. At level 3, an additional d8. At level 8, an additional d10. At level 10, an additional d12. Also double your damage as per crit rules.

Take ½ of your invocations as chandelier invocations. Or all.

By the Grace of the Chandelier

• Any spell with this tag is always in your memorized spells without the user requiring to use a memorized spell slot, however will still consume a usage when used -

Cantrips: Follow the same rules as DND 5e for Warlocks.

Note: When cross-classing so long as you have access to an ability’s base (per your cross class level) you take bonuses based on your overall chara level.

Ex: lvl 2 survivalist lvl 3 chandelier would take the level 5 call of the chandelier bonus despite not having 5 levels in this class. At level 2 you gain access to Call of the chandelier, but you get the bonus for being 5 total levels.

Level 1

Binding Root

1st Level Spell

Concentration

Grow a large root using your magic ability. The root glows gold, as though it is filled with an inner light. This root launches towards your target and attempts to restrain it, dealing 1d6 bludgeoning damage and holding it in place. Works on all humanoid sized enemies. Anything larger will require this spell to be cast at an additional level. (See player handbook regarding enemy sizes. Each size up from humanoid will require an additional spell level.) This attack always does damage even on saving throw success, however they will take ½ damage on success and not be restrained.

The target must roll a strength saving throw to see if they can escape the root every turn. If they do not, they take an additional 1d6 bludgeoning damage. They cannot move from where they stand or move their arms. All attacks against this creature will have advantage.

When cast at a higher level, add an additional 1d6 bludgeoning per level.

When hit by fire will erupt into magical gold flame, dealing 2d12 damage for every turn an enemy sits within the flames and 1d12 whenever they pass through said flames. This fire is ethereal in nature and counts as magic damage. Fire will cause the roots to wither and die in 3 turns, releasing whatever they are holding.
