Adventurer's Talents

Barbarian.
You’ve learned to fight with primal
ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rampage as a
bonus action. While rampaging and not wearing heavy
armor, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing,
and slashing damage. You can’t concentrate on spells
while rampaging. Your rampage lasts for 1 minute but
ends early if you are knocked unconscious. Once you
have rampaged, you can’t do so again until you finish a
long rest.

Cleric.
You’ve gained the ability to channel divine
energy directly from the gods, emboldening your allies
and sanctifying their attacks. As a bonus action, you
choose a creature within 30 feet. The chosen creature
gains temporary hit points equal to your Charisma
modifier + half your level in this class for 10 minutes.
While a creature has temporary hit points granted by
this spell, they can choose to lose these temporary hit
points when they hit a creature with an attack, dealing
additional radiant damage equal to the temporary hit
points they lost. Once you use this talent, you must finish
a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Druid.
You can cast the polymorph spell without
expending a spell slot. If you cast the polymorph spell
with this trait, you can only transform yourself into a
beast with a CR less than half your level in this class.
Once you cast the spell with this trait, you must finish a
long rest before you can do so again.

Fighter.
You gain proficiency with martial weapons
and shields. You also choose and learn one of the
Fighting Styles available to the Fighter class.

Monk.
While you are wearing no armor and not
wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity
modifier + your Charisma modifier. In addition, you
can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and
damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and you can roll
a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed
strike. When you use the Attack action and only make
attacks with unarmed strikes on your turn, you can make
one unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Paladin.
When you hit a creature with a melee weapon
attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant
damage to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage.
The extra damage is 1d6 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d6
for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d6.
The damage increases by 1d6 if the target is an undead or
a fiend, to a maximum of 6d6. You can do this a number of
times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all
uses of this feature at the end of a long rest.

Ranger.
You’ve learned the hunter’s mark spell,
which counts as a bard spell for you but does not
count against your bard spells known. You can cast
this spell without expending a spell slot as if you had
expended your highest spell slot. Once you cast the
spell using this talent, you can’t do so again until you
finish a long rest.

Rogue.
You’ve adopted the quick thinking of clever
heroes that outsmart their foes. You can take a bonus
action on each of your turns in combat to take the Dash,
Disengage, or Hide action.

Sorcerer.
You have 2 sorcery points and learn one
of the following Metamagic options available to the
sorcerer class: Careful Spell, Distant Spell, Empowered
Spell, Extended Spell, Quickened Spell, or Subtle Spell.
In addition, you can use an action and expend a spell
slot to gain sorcery points equal to the level of the spell
slot expended. When you finish a long rest, you reset
to 2 sorcery points. When you gain a level in this class,
you can replace the Metamagic option you know and
replace it with another Metamagic option from the list.

Warlock.
You learn one eldritch invocation of
your choice. If an eldritch invocation has a level
requirement, you use half your level in this class to
determine your eligibility. When you gain a level in
this class, you can choose one of the invocations you
know and replace it with another invocation that you
could learn at that level.

Wizard.
You learn any two spells from the wizard
spell list that are of a level you can cast. These count
as bard spells for you but do not count against your
number of bard spells known. When you gain a level in
this class, you can choose one of the wizard spells you
know and replace it with another spell from the wizard
spell list of a level you can cast.
