Misc Class Options

While many a fighter walks on land and does battle with the monsters and beasts that dwell there, you, my friend, have a
different calling. While you may never have thought that you’re training would have brought you to the sea, it seems you and
the water are now forever connected by one who lives within it.
You are haunted by the image of a great beast from the depths. One destined to take something from you, or who already
has. Whether it was your leg, a hand, a trusted companion, or something else, the sea has taken much, but given you
something in return. A clear purpose. Whether it is seeking revenge against the creature who wronged you, preventing such a
thing from happening to others, or just a desire to free the oceans of such monsters, you set off on an expedition you’re sure
will never end.
There’s plenty of fun to be had as a fighter on the ocean, and plenty of money to be made if that’s what you’re after. But
remember, these distractions may make a fine distraction for a short time, but the purity of your purpose forces you ever
onwards, ever deeper into the ocean’s grip.

7th Captain’s Sense
11th Visions in the Dark
15th Cast a Line
18th Whale Hunter

Strength of Arms
You have spent years training and perfecting your abilities
with a harpoon. You know the weight and feel of your
weapon in your hand. With this feat you gain a harpoon
attached to a line and are proficient in its use. The harpoon
has a range of 60/120 ft. and deals 1d6 + your Strength
modifier piercing damage at 3rd level. This increases to 2d6
+ your Strength modifier at 8th level. When you use your
harpoon, it takes one action to throw and one action to
retrieve your weapon.

Bonus Proficiencies
You’re one of the best trackers and fighters out there—
after all you can do it all on the sea! That’s impressive no
matter who you are. You’ve bested pirates, smugglers, a
really angry sea lion that one time, so take the win and
boost those proficiencies. At 3rd level, you can pick 2 bonus
proficiencies to add to your character.

Captain’s Sense
You know the ways of the sea in all its forms better than your
own name. You can feel the changes in the air and the water
as they approach. You could even say what or who it is that
is trying to sneak up on you and the rest of your shipmates.
At 7th level your passive Perception rises by +2. If you are at
sea, or any body of water, you gain advantage on all Wisdom
(Perception) checks. No water dweller will get the best of
this salty sea dog!

Visions in the Dark
At 10th level, as part of your increased senses now that
you’re a salty, seafaring scoundrel (or not as the case may
be), you also gain night vision. No need for a lamp out on
the waves to alert your enemies or scare your prey now! You
gain darkvision to 60 feet in all directions.

Cast a Line
At 15th level, you ensure no one gets left behind or
condemned to an early grave in the depths—the captain will
see to that! Whenever a friendly creature is reduced to 0 hit
points, if they are within range of your harpoon, you may
immediately stabilise them as a free bonus action. You may
use this ability twice per short rest. This increases to four
uses per short rest at 18th level.

Whale Hunter
When you get that beast in your sights, you don’t want to
be caught napping, now do you! You had better keep your
hand on your weapon at all times and don’t let a single
chance get away.
At 18th level you gain the ability to throw your harpoon
as a free bonus action, alongside your additional actions
and attacks. It still requires one action to retrieve your
harpoon, however.

You have sworn yourself to the Pirate Code and the ways of the sea. You know that piracy entails more than just sword fights
and swigging rum, you might love the sight of gold, but upholding the Code and all that comes with it is just as important.
As a paladin, you are sworn to uphold the honour amongst thieves and make sure that the culture and lifestyle of pirates,
privateers, and all swashbucklers don’t get swallowed up to be nothing more than a hunger for treasure, booze, and pleasure.
As a paladin of the Oath of Piracy, you are sworn to the sea and all your fellows who sail upon it, but most of all your Oath
is sworn to the Pirate Code set down by the Council of Pirates long, long ago. Or so pirates claim. It could be from last
Tuesday as far as you actually know. Your actions will be witnessed and judged by the Council of Pirates, and you must
uphold the Code or be stripped of your place in the epic tales of pirate history. And they are really epic!
If you breach one of the piratical codes, you break your oath and must seek redemption by giving away all your gold to
another pirate crew in penance.

The Pirate Code
Keep Battle Ready. You must keep your piece, weapon,
and shield at all times clean and ready for action.
Do Not Steal from Your Comrades. Every being shall
be called fairly in turn by list on board ship for their
hard-earned prize, a proper share of the loot. Do not
defraud or steal from the company or your fellows.
Uphold Democracy. Every being on board shall have
an equal vote in the affairs of the moment. Anything
that is for the common good may be voted on.
Stand by Your Shipmates. Any that shall desert
their ship in a time of battle shall be punished by death
or marooning.

Channel Divinity
When you reach 3rd level, you gain the following Channel
Divinity options:

Honour Amongst Thieves. You gain advantage on all
social checks and saves against other pirates. All other
pirates have disadvantage when making melee attacks
against you.

Cursed Gold. You can place a curse on a small item or coin
in your possession to give to (or plant on) another. While
the item is in their possession, they have disadvantage on all
saving throws.

The Pirate’s Brand
Starting at 7th level, once per long rest, you may summon
the spirit of the pirate brethren to your aid. For the duration
of one encounter, you gain +4 Strength and three hit dice
worth of temporary hit points. At the end of the encounter,
you gain one level of exhaustion.
At 18th level, you gain +6 Strength and five dice worth of
temporary hit points.

Marooned
At 15th level you can call on the Pirate Code to maroon
an enemy on a deserted island. As a bonus action, you may
cast banishment as a 4th-level spell on one creature you can
see within 20 ft. You must long rest before you can use this
feature again.

Channel the Kraken
Upon arriving at level 20, you gain the ability to summon
the powers of the eldritch horror of the deep, the mighty
and fearsome kraken. As a bonus action, you gain the
following benefits for 1 minute:
You gain the strength of the deeps, gaining +8 to your
Strength and advantage on all Strength checks.
Once, on each of your turns when you make a weapon
attack and miss, you can cause that attack to hit instead.
After one successful attack, you may choose to
automatically grapple your enemy or knock them prone.
You can breathe underwater as though breathing air.
If you’re not underwater, you suffer no ill effects.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest unless you expend a 5th-level spell slot to
use it again.

You were born for the sea. Maybe you grew up around it, maybe you stumbled into a fascination for it, or maybe you chose
to study it. No matter the beginnings, you have a closeness to the waters, a bond with the element and its creatures that
cannot be denied.
You have turned this link into something more, though. When you return to the sea, it sings to you. You know its moods, its
habits, and its perils. It welcomes you into its folds, carries you to safe harbour, and gives you ample warning of oncoming
surprises. There is no other ranger more beloved by the waves than you!

Sea Ranger Features

Level Feature
3rd Bonus Proficiencies, Spells of the Sea,
Welcoming Waves
7th Why’d It Have To Be Sea Snakes?
11th Tuna’d In
15th Blessings of the Wave-Walkers,
Calm Waters

Bonus Proficiencies
Upon taking the Sea Ranger archetype, you gain proficiency
in two additional skills of your choice.

Spells of the Sea
At 3rd level, your mind has been opened to the possibilities
of your element. You find it easier to affect the world around
you, making the water dance or even shooing away that
pesky fog. You gain two spells, the shape water cantrip and
the 1st-level spell create or destroy water. These do not count
against a ranger’s spells known.

Welcoming Waves
You know these waves like the back of your hand. At
3rd level, you gain a swim speed of 30 ft. and can hold
your breath for 3 + your Constitution modifier minutes
(minimum 90 seconds).

Why’d It Have To Be Sea Snakes?
Your knowledge of aquatic environments has given you
special insight into some of its dangers. At 7th level, select
two sea-dwelling creatures as additional favoured enemies.

Tuna’d In
At 11th level, your knowledge of sea flora and fauna is so
acute that you can communicate with ocean denizens on a
basic level. If a creature has an innate swimming speed, you
can communicate with it through the use of gestures and
sounds. This only works to a certain extent, to communicate
basic ideas. Don’t expect long, philosophical debates
without the help of a tongues spell!

Blessings of the Wave-Walkers
At 15th level, your mind is opened to the many possibilities
of your element and everything it—and you—might
potentially accomplish. Water twists itself and dances at
your whim, and you can extend your own comfort to your
friends. If you did not already have water breathing in your
spell list, you gain it. Moreover, you also gain the wall of
water and water walk spells. None of these count against
your known spells.

Calm Waters
At 15th level, you have such a rapport with the sea and its
inhabitants that your mere presence has a chance to settle
an upset heart. As a full-round action, you concentrate on
emitting your calming energy into the air and water around
you. Any hostile water-based creature in a 20-foot radius
must make a Wisdom saving throw. The DC for this is 8 +
your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency modifier.
If a creature fails its saving throw, it loses any hostility towards
you. It essentially acts as though under the influence of a
charm spell, eager to please, so long as you do not encourage
it to self-inflict harm. This effect lasts for a number of
rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) or
until the creature takes damage. Once the effect wears off, the
creature will not know that it has been affected by the spell.
You can use this ability once per long rest.
