Feats

Everything listed is subject to change, if you have a good idea, bring it up and it might happen.

## **Homebrew feats:**

### **Steel-blood mutation**

Be it from a curse, a 'fortunate' accident, meddling too much in the dark arts, or passed down through your bloodline, your blood has the property of changing into hard scales that settle on your body as you bleed, building up a flexible, protective layer that dries and sheds with time.

* Your constitution score increases by 1 to a maximum of 18
* For every 20 hit points lost (by any effect that makes you bleed), your AC increases by 1, to a maximum of your Constitution modifier. This effect lasts for 30 minutes, or until washed away by a liquid.

### **Teleportation Master**

* The distance traveled by your teleportation abilities and spells is doubled.
* Whenever you teleport to a location you can see, you can choose to devide the teleportation into multiple jumps during your turn (no action required). For example, when casting the Misty Step spell, you can choose to teleport a number of feet, move, then teleport another few feet, take an action and then teleport the remaining number of feet.

### **Iron Forge Champion (NEEDS REFINING)**

You have mastered the perilous sport of Iron Forge, granting you the following benefits:

* Focus on the ball: You can use a ball or orb as your spellcasting focus.
* Ballin'; You can wield an orb or ball as if it were a simple ranged weapon with which you are proficient. It has the thrown property, normal range of 20ft, and long range of 60 ft. On a hit it deals an additional 1d4 force damage.
* When a creature deals damage to you with a ranged spell attack or with a ball, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 1d10+your level.

### **Stubborn caster**

When a spell you are casting becomes disrupted (counterspell'ed or otherwise), you can salvage the remnants of the scattered weave into a another spell on the same turn at no additional casting-time. The spell must be of one level or lower to the originally cast spell, and cannot be the same spell.

### **Sign Speaker**

* You become fluent in Sign Language
* You can read lips
* You can use an action or bonus action on your turn to ignore the Verbal component of a spell you cast on the same turn, provided that you have at least one hand free.

### **Catch this!**

*Prerequisite: Strength 14*

When using a longbow, you can choose to make the attack with your Strength modifier instead of your Dexterity. In doing so, you reduce the bow's range to (30/90). Ranged attacks made with a longbow in this way are considered as melee attacks for the purposes of spells and character abilities.

### **Thermal Fanatic**

Your unusual zeal and enthusiasm for flames manifest in a variety of ways. You gain the following benefits:

* Pyrophile: After you choose to fail a saving throw against an effect that deals fire damage, you gain temporary hit points equal to half the fire damage that you take. Additionally, if the damage is equal to or greater than twice your level, you gain the benefits of a bless spell for the next minute.
* Catered Explosives: If you have a set of tinker's tools, you can spend 10 minutes modifying, improvising and tingering with a nonmagical item that deals fire damage, such as alchemist's fire or a bomb. Items modified in this way deal extra fire damage equal to your level, and the DC of any saving throw is raised by half your proficiency bonus.

### **Blood focus**

*Prerequisite: the ability to cast at least one spell*

You are able to use your own depleting life essence to funnel your magic. Whenever your current hit points dips below your maximum, you can use your own blood as an arcane focus.

In adition, when casting a spell that requires priced material components, you can forgo the components by taking 1d10 necrotic damage per 50 gp of the cost of the components(s), at a minimum of 1d10. This damage cannot be reduced in any way and damage taken this way reduces your max hit points by the same amount until you've completed a long rest. If this damage reduces you to 0 hit points, the spell fails.

### **Man out of time**

Somehow you've been cursed or gifted with the ability to never age - be it a maddened lover cursing you with her last breath, a dark ritual, or a handsomely paid master painter who crafted a painting of your likeness to such an exceptional detail, that the painting was blessed to forevermore age instead of you.

* When you roll for initiative, you can reroll the dice once but must keep the new result even if is worse
* You do not age and are immune to effects that would cause you to age
* With endless time comes maddening obsession, pick a (~narrow) topic related to Arcana, History or Nature that you gain expertise in

*Talk with your GM, maybe, just maybe, you've discovered one of the countless dark secrets of the world through your many years of existance. Or maybe you want to write up your own take on history for a specific region that you've have particular fondness with. Whatever the case, talk to your GM.*

*For roleplay purposes, this feat is recommended to be taken at first level. Talk with your DM to determine the details (social status, family details, game impact, rumours, history, why are you even getting your hands dirty, etc).*

### **Prosvoli** **Magefire** (Greek noun; *deliberately intended to be rude)*

The most heinous of mages has discovered the laden power that can be released by straining the close-knitted bond that stretches between one self and your companions

* When you cast a damaging spell and include a friendly character in the spell's area of effect, the spell counts as one level higher than it was originally cast at. This only applies if the friendly character takes damage; if they use an ability/spell/etc. to circumvent this damage, then the spell doesn't receive any benefits of this feat.
	+ *Specification: 'Character' refers to a player character or an ~~non-reoccur-able~~ NPC of roughly similar power in order to prevent the 'bag of rats'-issue, where a rat can be tossed into any AOE to boost the spell.*

### **Restrained Magic**

* You increase your Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 18.
* When you cast a spell, you may state to cast it as non-lethal and render the target (or targets) unconscious instead of killing them if it would leave them with 0 HP (instant death rule still apply (dropping target to 0 HP and then still exceeding their max HP with the remaining damage))
	+ If this spell would hit a friendly target, they have advantage on the saving throw and only suffer half damage (rounded down)

"don't worry guys, it's a *non-lethal* meteor shower!"

### **"Dodge this"**

* Being within 5ft of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls.

### **"I didn't hear no bell"**

*Prerequisite: Constitution of 13 or higher*

If damage reduces would reduce you to 0 hit points but not kill you outright, you may make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 8+ the damage taken. On a success you regain 1 HP, bringing you to 1 HP instead (a success still count towards potentially being exhausted from recovering from 0 HP).

### **Troll lineage**

You have been infused with the blood of a troll through bloodline, physical or supernatural means. Because of this, you can use an action to enter a 'troll state' for 1 minute, where you turn a rough green-ish grey hue, with foul smelling boils sprouting on your skin and any small scabs heal over in a matter of seconds. After the state wears off, the visual aspects of the transformation can still be seen lingering for a day or so afterwards as they slowly fade away.

	+ The subject has to be willing to participate in, and sign the contract.
	+ The subject cannot be under the influence of any magical effects.
	+ The subject cannot be an ally or friend of yours.
	+ Either part of the contract has to be possible to fulfill based on the capacity of both you and the opposing subject (e.g. agreeing that someone will be at X location, but capturing/ drugging them against their will to get them to miss it will render the contract null).
	+ The subject has to sign with their own blood.
* If either side breaks the contract, the one to break it receives a number of d6 necrotic damage equal to your character level
* To create the contract, you must have the tools to do so and spend an hour, which can be done as part of a short rest.
	+ ~~By signing a contract with a more powerful being than yourself, you can sacrifice 1d4 HP permanently to add additional 'benefits'~~

	+ You lose consciousness if you end your next turn with 0 HP or is incapacitated.
	+ *Note: For all intents and purposes, you're still at 0 HP - death saves are still rolled and any attack hit will still cause you to fail a death save, but since you're not unconscious, melee attacks don't auto crit.*
* ~~Each time you use this feature, you gain a level of exhaustion after the next long rest.~~

### **Dedicated Quaffer**

* Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 18.
* Potions have an increased effect on you. If a potion's effect required you to roll a die, the die's size is increased by one (up to a d20). If a potion's effect has a duration, the duration is doubled.
* You can use an object interaction instead of a bonus action to chug a potion.
* You can use an action to attempt to drink a liquid creature within 5 feet of you, such as a gelatinous cube or a water elemental.

### **Cassandra’s Tears, aka. "The Sight"**

The Sight is a blessing and a curse. It lets you see things, things beings can't normally see. With the Sight, you can see even the most ethereal of spirits roaming the graveyards. you can see the energies of life stirring and moving, running like blood through the world, between the earth and the sky, between water and fire. Enchantments stand out like cords braided from glowing spider webs or liquid sunlight depending on the level of power. You can sometimes see the demons that walk among mankind in human form, this way. You see things the way they really are, in-spirit and in soul, as well as in body.

A severe drug addict may seem perfectly fine to normal eyes, but may show a partially dismembered corpse, clawing its own eyes out and writhing in pain when using the sight. Similarly, a truly righteous or holy person, who always heeds out for the betterment of the people may be seen as a holy savior, wreathed in a golden aura with ethereal wings. More often than not though, people appear as they normally would.

The problem is that anything you see with the sight open stays with you. No matter how horrible, no matter how revolting, no matter how madness-inducing or terrifying—it stays with you. Forever. Always right there in your mind in full technicolor, never fading or becoming easier to bear. Sometimes you see things that are so beautiful you want to keep them with you always, but more often, you see things so deeply unsettling that it permanently tears a part of your sanity away.

* You are able to open the 'third eye' and gaze upon all that you desire to see their true nature.
* You can lock into a soul gaze with a humanoid being to see their very soul, how they are as a person and what stains on their soul they carry around with them.

*With great power comes great responsibility - by picking this feat, you gain a sanity counter beknown only to the GM. When the Sight is used, this counter goes up proportional to the damage it inflicts on your mind. If gazing upon a simply enchanted lock in an isolated tavern no significant harm will come to you (but it accumulates). However, gaze upon a God, fey queen, or archangel, your mind will be shattered to incomprehension and leave you a drooling empty shell of your former self.*

### **Chosen of the Faith(s)**

Prerequisite: Cleric - Trickery Domain and proficiency in Deception

You have been touched by the essence of the faith but has strayed no particular path, always balancing on the knife's edge between several, moving like quicksilver in the religious circles.

	+ You have advantage on all checks related to Gods of the chosen domain
	+ You may replace one of your prepared spells with a spell from the chosen domain's list of the same level

### **Multitasker**

You have developed an uncanny level of multitasking even in the most hectic situations.

* Increase your Dexterity, Intelligence or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 18
* On your turn, you can gain an extra bonus action. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

### **Stolen Secret**

Prerequisite: Warlock class level

Choose one spell from another class's spell list of a level no higher than your Warlock Spell Slot level. You now know this spell and it becomes a Warlock spell for you. This spell does not count against your total number of spells known. To cast this spell you must expend one of your warlock spell slots and you may not cast it again until you finish a long rest.

If you replace this spell when you gain a level you may only replace it if abiding by the above class and spell level restrictions.

### **Bloodline Attunement**

You can attune to a weapon using a short preparation time and a few drops of your blood. While you are attuned to this weapon it cannot deal damage to you. Any wounds that would be afflicted to you with this weapon heals instantly and causes no pain. If the weapon stabs through your body, it still may have negative effects, such as a sword stabbed through your throat would restrict breathing temporarily.

You can only attune to one weapon at a time and if the weapon consisting of separate pieces you must pick one. In the case of a bow, it is the fired arrow in question that should be attuned to.

*Traditionally used in jousts, friendly duels or contests among the nobility, where the participants attune to the weapon of the opponent.*
