Warrior of the Rifts

Students of the Way of the Rift walker study the invisible pathways that connect all places. Through meditation and planar theory, they learn that distance is merely a suggestion. These monks do not move faster—they convince reality that they were already there.

Many practitioners are researchers, explorers, messengers, or members of magical universities who study teleportation magic without relying on spells.

 

Planar Attunement

You gain proficiency in Arcana . Whenever you make an Intelligence (Arcana) ability check, you add your Wisdom modifier to the roll.

Additionally, you gain one Planar Technique. You can change your chosen technique whenever you finish a Short or Long Rest.

• Astral Technique: When you or a creature you teleport with one of your Riftwalker features arrives at a destination, they gain resistance to the next instance of damage they take before the start of your next turn.

• Fey Technique: Whenever you or a creature is teleported by one of your Riftwalker features, you can force creatures of your choice within 5 feet of the destination to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is either charmed or frightened (your choice) until the start of your next turn.

• Shadow Technique: After teleporting, you have advantage on the next attack roll you make before the end of your turn.

• Elemental Technique: When you teleport using one of your Riftwalker features, your next Unarmed Strike before the end of your turn deals an additional Martial Arts die of fire, cold, lightning, or thunder damage (your choice).
