Signs*

Geralt can use the following magical signs, simple but effective in combat. Each sign can be used a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest. You regain all uses after completing a long rest.

• Aard. As a bonus action, Geralt unleashes a telekinetic blast in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or be knocked prone.

• Igni. As an action, Geralt hurls a burst of flame at a creature within 30 feet. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 2d8 fire damage, or half as much on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d8 at 5th level, 4d8 at 11th, and 5d8 at 17th.

• Yrden. As an action, Geralt places a magical trap on the ground in a 10-foot radius centered on a point within 30 feet. The trap lasts for 1 minute and requires concentration (as if concentrating on a spell).

  Any creature of your choice that enters the area or starts its turn there must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or have its speed halved until the start of its next turn. On a failed save, the creature also has disadvantage on saving throws against spells while it remains in the area.

• Quen. As a bonus action, Geralt surrounds himself with a protective shield. Until the start of your next turn, you have temporary hit points equal to 1d10 + your level.

• Axii. As an action, Geralt targets one creature he can see within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you until the end of your next turn. While charmed, the creature is incapacitated.

  Dual Swords

  Geralt always carries two swords: one of steel and one of silver. You are proficient with longswords and greatswords. Additionally, your weapon attacks are treated as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks.
