Chapter 1: Classes Primal Path Rage burns in every barbarian’s heart, a furnace that drives him or her toward greatness. Different barbarians attribute their rage to different sources, however. For some, it is an internal reservoir where pain, grief, and anger are forged into a fury hard as steel. Others see it as a spiritual blessing, a gift of a totem animal.

Path of the Haka The tribal island nations of the world share a legend in their folklore, often presented as a parable or an inspirational tale. The tales tell of a bold tribal chief and warrior, Aata the Fierce, a giant of a man who led his tribe through decades of famine, drought, disaster, and war. For nearly a hundred years, Aata was known as the greatest chief in all the island nations, and his tribe was more powerful and prosperous than any other. Some versions say Aata disgraced himself on the battlefield, running from combat as a coward, though others say that he brokered a deal with a demon, in a bid to achieve immortality. In either case, near the end of his reign, the warrior-markings of his tribe (his Ta Moko) suddenly and without cause faded from his face. He was cast out of his tribe as a cursed creature and banished from his island home. For years after, he wandered the world without purpose, fighting not for glory, but for survival. In the depths of his despair and self-loathing, he threw himself into danger, suffering mortal wounds time and again, but always survived, and even grew stronger. From this dark, sullen place, Aata found new meaning: if he could not die, then he would spend eternity bringing glory to his people and reclaiming his warrior spirit. He cast off the name Aata, and took up the name Haka, in honor of his tribe's most sacred rituals. His Ta Moko flared to life, deeper and more vibrant than before. It is in honor of the great, immortal leader of the island tribes that their greatest warriors take up this Path, learning to channel their warrior spirit just as their ancestor of old.

Pauldric Parsons, the man history knows as the First Legacy, was a man of simple means and humble origins. Despite being a poor wheat farmer, Pauldric was the mortal son of a forgotten but not yet powerless god of the Sun and Harvest. During a raid on his lands by orcish invaders which threatened his land, his home, and family, his godly blood took hold of his mortal form, and he smashed through the oncoming horde with ease. Parsons took up the name Legacy to honor his godly parentage, and devoted the remainder of his amazingly long life to destroying the forces of evil. Since then, the children and descendants of the Parsons line have upheld Pauldric's Legacy: once or twice a generation, a child would display a feat amazing strength or impossible prowess, and once identified they would be trained to fight and use their strength for good. Though the bloodline has split thousands of ways over the ages, those with a deep connection to the Legacy still exist, and with the right training can bring their powers to fruition and forge their own Legacy.

Starting at 7th level, your unarmed strikes also count as magical for the purposes of bypassing damage resistance.

Suggested Characteristics

3

As a Scion of Legacy, you've been raised with the sole purpose of taking over as the newest in a long line of heroes. This may perfectly suit you, or it may go completely against your nature; in either case, it is what is expected of you. d8 Personality Trait 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

I am headstrong to a fault and always assume my natural powers will get me out of any scrape. I am reserved, always being careful not to overuse my strength. I love reading the tales of the previous Legacies. I am, at my heart, a pacifist; I will not kill unless the situation is unbelievably dire. I do not tolerate foul language from my companions. I am constantly blessing my allies with idioms and bits of good advice I have learned from my training. My compatriots are closer to me than even my family, and I will always fight to protect them. I have a special place I go when the stress of the world is too great, so that I can meditate in solitude.

d6 Ideal 1 2 3 4 5 6

Greater Good. The meek should be protected by the strong, and no one is stronger than I am. (Good) Justice. Criminals cannot be allowed to run amok; I am the arm of the law, and I am strong. (Lawful) Tradition. The Legacy must be kept, and I am next in line. (Neutral) Independence. I am not my father/mother; I will forge my own Legacy. (Chaotic) Supremacy. The previous Legacies were fools; with my power, I could rule the world. (Evil) Abandonment. I was born to this life, but I did not choose it, and I will not be a part of it. (Chaotic)

d6 Bond 1 2 3 4 5 6

My spouse/child is the most important thing in the world to me; they are why I fight evil. I seek to topple a great foe who has hounded my family for generations. Legacy’s Ring is my birthright, but I have not yet earned it. I seek to prove I am worthy to wear it. The approval of the previous Legacy (my mentor) is worth more to me than gold. My family was driven from our home by evil; I will take it back, by any means necessary. My city is my ward: I will defend her from all evils, both within and without.

Though I was trained to be even-tempered, I often resort to violence as my first course of action. I honor the Legacy, but I resent it for stripping me of the choice to have a normal life. I will sacrifice everything to protect my friends and family, even against my better judgement. My power is often hard to control, and I find it hard to hold back even when it would be important to do so. I never lie, even when it would benefit me to do so. The Legacy means nothing to me; I am using my mentor as a means to an end, and that end is power.

Monastic Traditions Three traditions of monastic pursuit are common in the monasteries scattered across the multiverse. Most monasteries practice one tradition exclusively, but a few honor the many traditions and instruct each monk according to his or her aptitude and interest. All traditions rely on the same basic techniques, diverging as the student grows more adept. Thus, a monk need choose a tradition only upon reaching 3rd level.

Way of Repair In a forgotten corner of a dark and wicked city, there stands a rundown repair shop, ignored by most. On most days, a blind old man wearing simple garments and a belt of tools, waits in the shop for customers and tinkers with his projects, items seemingly broken beyond repair. Despite his calm demeanor and soft-spoken voice, many who encounter the old man can sense that, despite his age and blindness, there is more to him than meets the eye. Some even think the old man is dangerous; they are right. In truth, the old man, who responds only to "Slim", was a martial arts master of unparalleled ability. He dedicated his life and skill to the protection of his city, which is plagued by criminals and corrupt lords. His repair shop was once a great school, and he trained a number of capable, powerful warriors. Sadly, his greatest pupil betrayed him, putting out his eyes and joining the ranks of his foes. His spirit broken, the old man shuttered his school for decades, and vowed never to take another student. Yet, as the old man began to approach his final years, he found himself ill-content to take his knowledge with him to the grave. He began training new students, hoping that one may surpass his former pupil, and exact the justice upon her that she deserves.

Bonus Proficiencies When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the spiked chain and improvised weapons, and can treat them as monk weapons. Additionally, you gain proficiency with tinker's tools and smith's tools. This spiked chain is a double, finesse, reach, twohanded weapon that deals 1d4 damage on a hit. A double weapon has two damage-dealing ends. While wielding this weapon, you are treated as if you are wielding two weapons, and, while engaging in two-weapon fighting, you can use either end of the weapon to make bonus attacks.

Stance At 3rd level, when you select this subclass, you learn to adopt a specialized fighting stance. You can adopt one of the following stances as a bonus action on your turn, and it lasts until you are incapacitated, take a rest, or use a bonus action to switch into a different stance. You can only be in one stance at a time. Alternating Tiger Claw Stance. Damage dealt by your monk weapons or unarmed strikes ignores damage resistance. Driving Mantis Stance. When you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to add your proficiency bonus to your AC, potentially causing the attack to miss. Grease Monkey Fist Stance. When you take this stance, select a damage type: your unarmed strikes and monk weapons deal that type of damage instead of their normal type. When you make an unarmed strike or an attack with a monk weapon, you can spend a ki point to change the damage type.

Riveting Crane Stance. When you hit a creature with a monk weapon or an unarmed strike, you can spend a point of ki to throw that creature off balance. The next creature other than you who makes an attack against that creature gains advantage on the attack roll.

Tool Fighting Style At 6th level, you have gained significant skill in fighting with specific monk weapons. Select one of the Tool Fighting Styles listed below. You can use an action to switch to a new tool fighting style. Dual Crowbar Style. While using this fighting style, 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 with monk weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls. Additionally, you can use Flurry of Blows using a monk weapon you are holding. Hoist Chain Style. When you hit a creature with a spiked chain, it has disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes. Jack Handle Style. While wielding a versatile monk weapon, you can use your action to make a melee attack against any number of creatures within 5 feet of you, with a separate attack roll for each target. Pipe Wrench Style. You gain a +1 bonus to AC and damage rolls while you are wielding a monk weapon in one hand and nothing in the other. Tire Iron Style. Whenever you throw a monk weapon, it immediately returns to your hand, and you can use Flurry of Blows with a throwing monk weapon.

Harmony At 11th level, you learn to disorient and confuse your foes with your shifting styles and stances. When you change either your Stance or your Tool Fighting Style, you deal an additional +1 damage on all unarmed strikes until the end of your next turn. If you change both your Stance and your Style in the same turn, your unarmed strikes deal an additional 1d6 damage until the end of your next turn instead.

Overdrive At 17th level, you learn to push yourself beyond what is normally possible. When you use the attack action on your turn, you can spend 7 ki points to take an additional action.

Otherworldly Patrons

The Dead Mists Expanded Spells

The beings that serve as patrons for warlocks are mighty inhabitants of other planes of existence—not gods, but almost godlike in their power. Various patrons give their warlocks access to different powers and invocations, and expect significant favors in return. Some patrons collect warlocks, doling out mystic knowledge relatively freely or boasting of their ability to bind mortals to their will. Other patrons bestow their power only grudgingly, and might make a pact with only one warlock. Warlocks who serve the same patron might view each other as allies, siblings, or rivals.

The Dead Mists The Dead Mists of R'lyeh have for eons been a deadly trap for astral travelers. Foolhardy wizards and mystics would push themselves further and further into the astral sea, and would eventually find themselves wrapped in the eldritch mists. Lost and without guide, they would inevitably succumb to the mist's soul-draining effects, and would become little more than food for the astral beings who slept in the mists. Such was the fate of one such explorer: Faye Diamond, a scholar of the otherworldly from another time and another place. Lost in the mists, she assumed that her fate would be the same as those who had come before, and indeed it would have had she not made contact with The Master of the Mists. Though their astral connection, the Master taught her all that he could about how to navigate and control the mists, and though this intervention Faye was saved. Decades later, a much different woman returned to the mists which once threatened to consume her. Faye had become so attuned with the Dead Mists that they were now a part of her, and she a part of them. Fearing that she would finally be destroyed by the mists, she searched for her old master. Upon discovering his resting place and seeing his lifeless form on an eldritch golden throne, she immediately understood her final purpose: she would become the Maiden of the Mists, and would guide others the way her master had guided her years before.

If this ability reduces you to 0 hit points, you are knocked unconscious, even if you have temporary hit points. You must be able to perform the somatic components of a spell in order to use this ability.
