Gaijin Smash! (Yaranaika)
2026-04-23T14:46:10Z
<p>Np: </p>
<hr />
<div>''Prerequisite: [[Gaijin (background) (Yaranaika)|Gaijin Background]]'' or a character that didn't learn the Japanese etiquette in their youth<br />
<br />
'''Gaijin Smash!''' is the act of a foreigner unknowingly or willfully breaking Japanese [and Korean and Chinese] rules and conventions (of which there are many) with no real consequence.<ref>[https://metropolisjapan.com/the-foreigner-flipside/ Metropolis Magazine: The Foreigner Flipside: Riding the ups and downs of the gaijin privilege paradox. January 1, 2016. Ashley Clarke]</ref><br />
<br />
This feature is often used while you are moving. For example, you can walk past a guard, pretending to not understand what he is saying; the guard is distracted by your appearance (and often, superior height) and doesn't dare to interfere. The target makes a Wisdom saving throw against [[DC]] of <code>13 + your Proficiency bonus</code>. On a failure, target is [[Stunned]] for one round. After the first round is over, target can attempt a new saving throw at the end of each of their own turns, ending the effect with a successful save. If you want to Smash more than one target, they all gain [[Advantage]] to the saving throw.<br />
<br />
You can use this feat once per your Proficiency Bonus. A [[Short Rest]] recharges one use, up to the maximum amount, and a [[Long Rest]] recharges all attempts.<br />
<br />
Be creative and come up with ways to use this feat, keeping the essence of the feat in mind. GM might disallow too far-fetched attempts.<br />
<br />
Targets that are well used to foreigners - or are foreigners themselves - cannot be Gaijin Smashed.<br />
<br />
This feat is named in honor of the blogger Azrael, who is an American formerly teaching English in Japan through the JET program and blogged about his life and the many odd experiences he had with the different culture. I followed his blog from the very beginning.<ref>[https://gaijinsmashnet.wordpress.com/category/front-page/ Gaijin Smash -blog (2004-2009)]</ref><ref>[https://gaijinchronicles.wordpress.com/ Gaijin Chronicles Blog]</ref><br />

Osumosan (Yaranaika)
2026-04-02T03:49:21Z
<p>Np: /* Level 17: Yokozuna (横綱) */</p>
<hr />
<div>==New Monk Subclass: Osumōsan (お相撲さん)==<br />
The monk becomes a ''rikishi (力士)'', a sumo wrestler, using his great mass and strength to grapple and overcome opponents.<br />
<br />
NOTE: in Mythic Japan, women are also allowed to participate in Grand Tournament (TODO probably just once per year? Maybe it's for ''all'' martial artists, regardless of their art!).<br />
<br />
===Level 3: Makushita (幕下)===<br />
'''''Chankonabe (ちゃんこ鍋).''''' You have worked hard at a sumo stable's kitchen, and learned to cook. You can cook many dishes, but ''Chankonabe'' (literally ''"father-child things in a pot"'') is the essential sumo dish. It makes easier to gain weight and contains lots of nutrients.<br />
<br />
In Mythic East, real ''chankonabe'' gives [[Playing_the_Game#Heroic_Inspiration|'''''Heroic Inspiration''''']] to (only) a sumo wrestler, and a little bonus effect to ''everyone'' eating it. You need to eat one full portion of the stew to gain the benefit. Ingredients for a chankonabe cost 2 [[SP]] per portion. You need some fresh ingredients; ''chankonabe'' made only of rations is edible but does not give any special benefits. You also need a pot&mdash;the larger the more portions you cook&mdash;and fire to cook on. Rice or noodles are often served as a side dish. Making one pot of nabe and side dishes takes about one hour.<br />
<br />
The second effect depends on the type you are cooking:<br />
* ''Gy&umacr;niku nabe'' (牛肉鍋), beef nabe. ''Bonus effect:'' the next time you make a Strength ability check, ''not'' including skill checks, saving throws or attack rolls, you gain Advantage to the roll.<br />
* ''Hinabe'' (火鍋), nabe with hot chili. ''Bonus effect:'' the next time you you need to make a saving throw against [[Gameplay Toolbox#Poison|an ingested or inhaled poison]], you gain Advantage to the saving throw.<br />
* ''Karē nabe'' (カレー鍋), curry nabe. ''Bonus effect:'' curry is very popular in Mythic East and so are you; next time you make a Charisma ([[Persuasion]]) or Charisma ([[Performance]]) check, you gain Advantage.<br />
* ''Kimchi nabe'' (キムチ鍋), nabe with fermented napa cabbage. ''Bonus effect:'' kimchi is healthy, so you gain 1d4 [[Temporary Hit Points]].<br />
* ''Misonabe'' (味噌鍋), nabe with miso. ''Bonus effect:'' miso is a cooling ingredient; you gain advantage to the next saving throw made against any kind of heat or Fire effect.<br />
* ''Motsunabe'' (もつ鍋), nabe with offal. ''Bonus effect:'' offal is a warming food; you gain advantage to the next saving throw made against any kind of freezing or Cold effect.<br />
* ''Ramu nabe'' (ラム鍋), lamb nabe. ''Bonus effect:'' you can hop around like a happy little lamb. You gain Advantage to your next [[Long Jump|long]] or [[High Jump|high jumping]] check.<br />
* ''Shifudo nabe'' (シーフード鍋), seafood nabe. ''Bonus effect:'' you feel a bit fishy and gain Advantage to your next Strength (Athletics) check related to [[swimming]].<br />
* ''T&omacr;ny&umacr; nabe'' (豆乳鍋, とうにゅうなべ), nabe with soy milk. ''Bonus effect:'' you feel bright and gain Advantage to your next Intelligence saving throw.<br />
* ''Tori-shin'' (とり信), chicken nabe. Chickens walk on two feet, and rikishi believe that it helps them stay firmly on their two feet in the sumo ring (''dohy&omacr;''). ''Bonus effect:'' the next time someone tries to Shove you or otherwise move you when you are unwilling, you gain Advantage to your saving throw.<br />
The effects are comparable to [[cantrip]]-level magic, but are non-magical. Bonus effects generally work only once, and if not spent, fade away at next dawn - unless replenished with another portion of ''chankonabe''. You can't have more than one active food-related effect at a time, e.g. ''[[Heroes' Feast]]'' would negate benefits of ''chankonabe''.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE:''' If one eats chankonabe every day, they start gaining weight at a rate of 1 lb. per week. There's an upper limit to one's weight if they stay mobile. It varies highly by each individual, maybe about 250 to 350 lb. for a human.<br />
<br />
'''''Sumo Style.''''' Choose your current style of sumo, select ''one'' from these:<br />
:'''''Oshi-zumō (押し相撲).''''' ("Pushing Sumo") When you use the Shove option with your Unarmed Strike, you can shove targets up to two sizes larger than you. You also have [[Expertise]] in shoving; your Proficiency Bonus is doubled when using shove, unless it is already doubled for some reason.<br />
:'''''Yotsu-zumō (四つ相撲).''''' ("Four Hands Sumo") You gain [[Grappler]] feat as a bonus feat, ignoring the prerequisites, but without the ability score increase. If you already have that feat, you can choose any General feat instead, or a Fighting Style feat. In this case, you need to fulfill the prerequisites.<br />
<br />
===Level 6: J&umacr;ry&omacr; (十両)===<br />
'''''Two Styles.''''' At this level, you have learned both styles of sumo; you get the Oshi-zumō or Yotsu-zumō, whichever you did not choose at 1st level.<br />
<br />
'''''Tsuppari (つっぱり).''''' You can cause damage with an Unarmed Strike ''and'' include the Shove option in every strike - if you want to.<br />
<br />
===Level 11: Maegashira (前頭)===<br />
'''''Oshidashi (押し出し).''''' You can grapple opponents of any size, even [[Gargantuan]]. You have [[Advantage]] to ''all'' rolls related to grappling and getting out of [[Grappled]] condition. Also, you can move the grappled opponent as by the rules, regardless of the opponent's size or weight. You can't move an immovable opponent (such as a Yokozuna, as described below).<br />
<br />
'''''Yorikiri (寄り切り).''''' You can use the Shove option with your Unarmed Strike against opponent of any size, even [[Gargantuan]].<br />
<br />
===Level 17: Yokozuna (横綱)===<br />
'''''Yokozuna.''''' No force can move you from your square if you are unwilling, unless the ground or floor under you is physically removed (then you fall). You can still be moved by ''teleportation'' or equivalent magic - but not by ''[[telekinesis]]''. You can have [[Prone]] condition if it is somehow inflicted on you or you go prone voluntarily.<br />
<br />
'''''Extra Reach.''''' You add 5 ft. reach to your Unarmed Strikes.<br />
<br />
'''''Two Extra Attacks.''''' You can attack three times instead of once (or twice), whenever you take the [[Attack action]] on your turn. Note: your Bonus Unarmed Strike does not include extra attacks.<br />

==Bard Class Features==<br />
As a Bard, you gain the following class features when you reach the specified Bard levels. These features are listed in the Bard Features table.<br />
===Level 1: Bardic Inspiration===<br />
You can supernaturally inspire others through words, music, or dance. This inspiration is represented by your Bardic Inspiration die, which is a d6. Using Bardic Inspiration. As a Bonus Action, you can inspire another creature within 60 feet of yourself who can see or hear you. That creature gains one of your Bardic Inspiration dice. A creature can<br />
have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.<br />
<br />
Once within the next hour when the creature fails<br />
a D20 Test, the creature can roll the Bardic Inspiration<br />
die and add the number rolled to the d20, potentially<br />
turning the failure into a success. A Bardic<br />
Inspiration die is expended when it's rolled.<br />
<br />
'''''Number of Uses.''''' You can confer a Bardic Inspiration<br />
die a number of times equal to your Charisma<br />
modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended<br />
uses when you finish a [[Long Rest]].<br />
<br />
'''''At Higher Levels.''''' Your Bardic Inspiration die<br />
changes when you reach certain Bard levels, as<br />
shown in the Bardic Die column of the Bard Features<br />
table. The die becomes a d8 at level 5, a d10 at<br />
level 10, and a d12 at level 15.<br />
<br />
===Level 1: Spellcasting===<br />
You have learned to cast spells through your bardic<br />
arts. See “Spells” for the rules on spellcasting. The<br />
information below details how you use those rules<br />
with Bard spells, which appear in the Bard spell list<br />
later in the class's description.<br />
<br />
'''''Cantrips.''''' You know two cantrips of your choice<br />
from the Bard spell list. Dancing Lights and Vicious<br />
Mockery are recommended.<br />
<br />
Whenever you gain a Bard level, you can replace<br />
one of your cantrips with another cantrip of your<br />
choice from the Bard spell list.<br />
<br />
When you reach Bard levels 4 and 10, you learn<br />
another cantrip of your choice from the Bard spell<br />
list, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Bard<br />
Features table.<br />
<br />
'''''Spell Slots.''''' The Bard Features table shows how<br />
many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+<br />
spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish<br />
a [[Long Rest]].<br />
<br />
'''''Prepared Spells of Level 1+.''''' You prepare the<br />
list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to<br />
cast with this feature. To start, choose four level 1<br />
spells from the Bard spell list. Charm Person, Color<br />
Spray, Dissonant Whispers, and Healing Word are<br />
recommended.<br />
<br />
The number of spells on your list increases as you<br />
gain Bard levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells<br />
column of the Bard Features table. Whenever that<br />
number increases, choose additional spells from the<br />
Bard spell list until the number of spells on your list<br />
matches the number on the table. The chosen spells<br />
must be of a level for which you have spell slots.<br />
For example, if you're a level 3 Bard, your list of<br />
prepared spells can include six spells of levels 1 and<br />
2 in any combination.<br />
<br />
If another Bard feature gives you spells that you<br />
always have prepared, those spells don't count<br />
against the number of spells you can prepare with<br />
this feature, but those spells otherwise count as<br />
Bard spells for you.<br />
<br />
'''''Changing Your Prepared Spells.''''' Whenever you<br />
gain a Bard level, you can replace one spell on your<br />
list with another Bard spell for which you have spell<br />
slots.<br />
<br />
'''''Spellcasting Ability.''''' Charisma is your spellcasting<br />
ability for your Bard spells.<br />
<br />
'''''Spellcasting Focus.''''' You can use a Musical Instrument<br />
as a Spellcasting Focus for your Bard spells.<br />
===Level 2: Expertise===<br />
You gain [[Expertise]] (see “Rules Glossary”) in two of<br />
your skill proficiencies of your choice. Performance<br />
and Persuasion are recommended if you have proficiency<br />
in them.<br />
<br />
At Bard level 9, you gain Expertise in two more of<br />
your skill proficiencies of your choice.<br />
<br />
===Level 2: Jack of All Trades===<br />
You can add half your Proficiency Bonus (round<br />
down) to any ability check you make that uses a<br />
skill proficiency you lack and that doesn't otherwise<br />
use your Proficiency Bonus.<br />
<br />
For example, if you make a Strength (Athletics)<br />
check and lack Athletics proficiency, you can add<br />
half your Proficiency Bonus to the check.<br />
===Level 3: Bard Subclass===<br />
You gain a Bard subclass of your choice. The College<br />
of Lore subclass is detailed after this class's description.<br />
A subclass is a specialization that grants you<br />
features at certain Bard levels. For the rest of your<br />
career, you gain each of your subclass's features<br />
that are of your Bard level or lower.<br />
===Level 4: Ability Score Improvement===<br />
You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see<br />
“Feats”) or another feat of your choice for which you<br />
qualify. You gain this feature again at Bard levels 8,<br />
12, and 16.<br />
===Level 5: Font of Inspiration===<br />
You now regain all your expended uses of Bardic Inspiration<br />
when you finish a Short or [[Long Rest]].<br />
In addition, you can expend a spell slot (no action<br />
required) to regain one expended use of Bardic<br />
Inspiration.<br />
===Level 7: Countercharm===<br />
You can use musical notes or words of power to disrupt<br />
mind-influencing effects. If you or a creature<br />
within 30 feet of you fails a saving throw against an<br />
effect that applies the Charmed or Frightened condition,<br />
you can take a Reaction to cause the save to<br />
be rerolled, and the new roll has Advantage.<br />
<br />
===Level 10: Magical Secrets===<br />
You've learned secrets from various magical traditions.<br />
Whenever you reach a Bard level (including<br />
this level) and the Prepared Spells number in the<br />
Bard Features table increases, you can choose any<br />
of your new prepared spells from the Bard, Cleric,<br />
Druid, and Wizard spell lists, and the chosen spells<br />
count as Bard spells for you (see a class's section for<br />
its spell list). In addition, whenever you replace a<br />
spell prepared for this class, you can replace it with<br />
a spell from those lists.<br />
===Level 18: Superior Inspirationv<br />
When you roll Initiative, you regain expended uses<br />
of Bardic Inspiration until you have two if you have<br />
fewer than that.<br />
===Level 19: Epic Boon===<br />
You gain an Epic Boon feat (see “Feats”) or another<br />
feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of<br />
Spell Recall is recommended.<br />
===Level 20: Words of Creation===<br />
You have mastered two of the Words of Creation:<br />
the words of life and death. You therefore always<br />
have the Power Word Heal and Power Word Kill<br />
spells prepared. When you cast either spell, you can<br />
target a second creature with it if that creature is<br />
within 10 feet of the first target.<br />
==Bard Spell List==<br />
This section presents the Bard spell list. The spells are organized by spell level and then alphabetized, and each spell's school of magic is listed. In the Special column, C means the spell requires Concentration, R means it's a Ritual, and M means it requires a specific Material component.<br />

==Bard Subclass: College of Lore==<br />
''Plumb the Depths of Magical Knowledge''<br />
<br />
Bards of the College of Lore collect spells and secrets<br />
from diverse sources, such as scholarly tomes,<br />
mystical rites, and peasant tales. The college’s members<br />
gather in libraries and universities to share<br />
their lore with one another. They also meet at festivals<br />
or affairs of state, where they can expose corruption,<br />
unravel lies, and poke fun at self-important<br />
figures of authority.<br />
<br />
===Level 3: Bonus Proficiencies===<br />
You gain proficiency with three skills of your choice.<br />
<br />
===Level 3: Cutting Words===<br />
You learn to use your wit to supernaturally distract,<br />
confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence<br />
of others. When a creature that you can see<br />
within 60 feet of yourself makes a damage roll or<br />
succeeds on an ability check or attack roll, you can<br />
take a Reaction to expend one use of your Bardic<br />
Inspiration; roll your Bardic Inspiration die, and<br />
subtract the number rolled from the creature’s roll,<br />
reducing the damage or potentially turning the success<br />
into a failure.<br />
<br />
===Level 6: Magical Discoveries===<br />
You learn two spells of your choice. These spells can<br />
come from the Cleric, Druid, or Wizard spell list or<br />
any combination thereof (see a class’s section for its<br />
spell list). A spell you choose must be a cantrip or a<br />
spell for which you have spell slots, as shown in the<br />
Bard Features table.<br />
<br />
You always have the chosen spells prepared, and<br />
whenever you gain a Bard level, you can replace one<br />
of the spells with another spell that meets these<br />
requirements.<br />
<br />
===Level 14: Peerless Skill===<br />
When you make an ability check or attack roll and<br />
fail, you can expend one use of Bardic Inspiration;<br />
roll the Bardic Inspiration die, and add the number<br />
rolled to the d20, potentially turning a failure into<br />
a success. On a failure, the Bardic Inspiration isn’t<br />
expended.</div>

<br />
You and up to 8 creatures of your choice will transform into bright beams of light and fly instantly to any place in the world where there is moonlight, leaving behind an arc of moonlight along your route. The path can be followed, but it dissipates at next dawn, and the journey might be thousands of miles long. Also, this spell can be used to travel to the Moon itself!<br />
<br />
Basically, this is ''Teleport without Error'', with some flavor.<br />

<br />
With the feat, you begin with six language slots. You can select languages from [[Character Creation#Choose Languages|Standard and Rare Languages]], as well as from [[Yaranaika#Languages|Yaranaika-specific languages]]. Note that "Common" doesn't really exist in this world. It is replaced by Latin and Chinese.<br />
<br />
Most translators are first and foremost fluent in Japanese and Latin. You are able to speak and understand Japanese, and read and write it using ''hiragana''.<ref name="simple">To keep things simple, we ignore the nuances of historical 16th-century writing systems.</ref><br />
<br />
Reading and writing ''kanji'' takes one language slot. You can also read many chinese characters, but not fully understand the text. Learning ''hanzi'' (chinese characters) would take another language slot.<ref name="simple" /><br />
<br />
Learning a language written in Latin script includes the ability to read and write it, since the alphabet is very simple.<br />
<br />
You can do Simultaneous interpretation<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_interpretation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_interpretation at wikipedia]</ref>, but it requires [[Concentration]] and is exhausting.<br />
<br />
Most common foreign languages are Chinese and Portuguese. Second most common are Spanish and Dutch.<br />
<br />
Most common Standard Languages are Common Sign Language (Japanese variant), Draconic, Giant, Dwarvish, Sylvan, and Elvish, in this order.<br />
<br />
Other languages: Ainu, Okinawan, English, French, Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Urdu, Kannada, Odia, Malayam, Punjabi and over 400 others), Mongolian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and so on. Characters don't usually know Ainu or Okinawan unless they lived in the areas where they are spoken.<br />
<br />
This background gives you three skills, to compensate for the lack of combat abilities.<br />

<div>'''[[Yaranaika]]''' {{Ja|やらないか|yaranaika|{{lit|Won't you do it?}}}} is a campaign set in the world of Mythical East at the late 1500s. All the supernatural creatures, monsters, and magic of the Orient actually exist in this world. Some martial artists and ninjas also actually have supernatural powers. ''Ki'' (called "Focus Points" in SRD) is a very real thing. The world is somewhat manga- and anime-themed. So, player characters could be even magical girls, fallen celestials, spirits, constructs resembling humans, y&omacr;kai (supernatural entities and spirits), battle maids and butlers, faeries, and so on. In the background the history of Japan unfolds in the civil wars of the Sengoku period, with famous figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.<!--Perhaps even mongols make an appearance (yes, I know, historically their time was already over, but hey - this is fantasy!).!--><br />

<br />
Commoners have only one language slot and know ''hriagana'' and a few basic ''kanji'' at most. Instead of a signature, a ''hanko'' stamp is used. Only important agreements are written and signed; for most people, verbal agreements are good enough.<br />
<br />
Common language is replaced by Chinese and Latin.<br />
<br />
[[Character_Creation#Choose_Languages|SRD languages are available]], but most of the inhabitants - including Y&omacr;kai - speak the local language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) as their native language.<br />

Bundles of 100 copper coins are the official currency. There are also silver and gold coins, and locally minted coins. For easiness, all coins normally have the same value as standard [[Coins]]. There's also ''koku'', an unit of dry volume, about 180 litres, which was considered an amount of rice to feed one person for one year. ''Koku'' measured the magnitude of a feudal domain. A lord was considered a daimy&omacr; when his domain amounted to at least 10000 ''koku''.<ref name="swp">[https://nihonto.com/samurai-income/ Sword Prices, Origami, and Samurai Income by Markus Sesko]</ref><br />
<br />
One ''koku'' is roughly equal to 12 GP. One person's daily portion of rice costs about 3 to 5 CP - rice is expensive!<ref name="swp" /><br />

=Campaign-Specific Notes=<br />
==Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting ... Somewhat==<br />
Nearly everyone has some Martial Arts training, from little girls to old shopkeepers.<br />
<br />
BUT, martial artists do not normally fly through the air or deflect thousands of arrows with their scarf. (Well, maybe at epic levels, they do.)<br />
<br />
Think more of Miyamoto Musashi, Jackie Chan, IP Man, and Bruce Lee, rather than the superhero-level kung fu flicks. Larger than life, with a bit toned down Rule of Cool<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool TVTropes: Rule of Cool]</ref>.<br />
<br />
New paths and subclasses are designed for this kind of game.<br />

These characters are all at 5th level and will be used in a playtest scenario. Note that for Japanese names surname is given first. Never mind whether the name is feminine or masculine; you can choose the character's gender and (if you wish) change the name. A quick switch from feminine ''-ko'' is to change it to ''-ro''.<br />

You are ''burakumin'' (部落民), one of a social grouping associated with "unclean" (穢れ, ''kegare'') things, mainly those with occupations related to death. These include executioners, gravediggers, slaughterhouse workers, butchers, and tanners. Burakumin are physically indistinguishable from other Japanese, but they can only live in areas designated for them and are normally not allowed to leave.<br />
<br />
If you are known a ''burakumin'', you are subject to discrimination and prejudice. Thus, adventurers generally keep their ''burakumin'' origin as a secret. Only your best friends you have known a long time might know about it.<br />

Gaijin Smash! (Yaranaika)
2025-09-10T06:22:21Z
<p>Np: </p>
<hr />
<div>''Prerequisite: [[Gaijin (background) (Yaranaika)|Gaijin Background]]'' or a character that didn't learn the Japanese etiquette in their youth<br />
<br />
'''Gaijin Smash!''' is the act of a foreigner unknowingly or willfully breaking Japanese [and Korean and Chinese] rules and conventions (of which there are many) with no real consequence.<ref>[https://metropolisjapan.com/the-foreigner-flipside/ Metropolis Magazine: The Foreigner Flipside: Riding the ups and downs of the gaijin privilege paradox. January 1, 2016. Ashley Clarke]</ref><br />
<br />
This feature is often used while you are moving. For example, you can walk past a guard, pretending to not understand what he is saying; the guard is distracted by your appearance (and often, superior height) and doesn't dare to interfere. The target makes a Wisdom saving throw against [[DC]] of <code>13 + your Proficiency bonus</code>. On a failure, target is [[Stunned]] for one round. After the first round is over, target can attempt a new saving throw at the end of each of their own turns, ending the effect with a successful save. If you want to Smash more than one target, they all gain [[Advantage]] to the saving throw.<br />
<br />
You can use this feat once per your Proficiency Bonus. A [[Short Rest]] recharges one use, up to the maximum amount, and a [[Long Rest]] recharges all attempts.<br />
<br />
Be creative and come up with ways to use this feat, keeping the essence of the feat in mind. GM might disallow too far-fetched attempts.<br />
<br />
Targets that are well used to foreigners - or are foreigners themselves - cannot be Gaijin Smashed.<br />
<br />
This feat is named in honor of the blogger Azrael, who is an American formerly teaching English in Japan through the JET program and blogged about his life and the many odd experiences he had with the different culture. I followed his blog from the very start.<ref>[https://gaijinsmashnet.wordpress.com/category/front-page/ Gaijin Smash -blog (2004-2009)]</ref><ref>[https://gaijinchronicles.wordpress.com/ Gaijin Chronicles Blog]</ref><br />

<div>'''[[Yaranaika]]''' {{Ja|やらないか|yaranaika|{{lit|Won't you do it?}}}} is a campaign set in the world of Mythical East at the late 1500s. All the supernatural creatures, monsters, and magic of the Orient actually exist in this world. Some martial artists and ninjas also actually have supernatural powers. ''Ki'' (called "Focus Points" in SRD) is a very real thing. The world is somewhat manga- and anime-themed. So, player characters could be even magical girls, fallen celestials, spirits, constructs resembling humans, y&omacr;kai (supernatural entities and spirits), battle maids and butlers, faeries, and so on. In the background the history of Japan unfolds in the civil wars of the Sengoku period, with famous figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.<!--Perhaps even mongols make an appearance (yes, I know, historically their time was already over, but hey - this is fantasy!).!--><br />

'''NOTE: Most characters (with 3 language slots) still learn only two languages, because one language slot is required to learn reading and writing with ''kanji'''''. Common people have only one language slot and know kana letters and a few basic kanji at most. Instead of a signature, a ''hanko'' stamp is used. Only important agreements are written and signed; for most people, verbal agreements are good enough.<br />
<br />
Common language is replaced by Chinese and Latin.<br />
<br />
[[Character_Creation#Choose_Languages|SRD languages are available]], but most of the inhabitants - including Y&omacr;kai - speak the local language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) as their native language.<br />
<br />
Other languages: Ainu, Okinawan, English, French, Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Urdu, Kannada, Odia, Malayam, Punjabi and over 400 others), Mongolian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and so on.<br />

Bundles of 100 copper coins are the official currency. There are also silver and gold coins, and locally minted coins. For easiness, all coins normally have the same value as standard [[Coins]]. There's also ''koku'', an unit of dry volume, about 180 litres, which was considered an amount of rice to feed one person for one year. ''Koku'' measured the magnitude of a feudal domain. A lord was considered a daimy&omacr; when his domain amounted to at least 10000 ''koku''.<ref name="swp">[https://nihonto.com/samurai-income/ Sword Prices, Origami, and Samurai Income by Markus Sesko]</ref><br />

One ''koku'' is roughly equal to 12 GP. One person's daily portion of rice costs about 3 to 5 CP - rice is expensive!<ref name="swp" /><br />

=Campaign-Specific Notes=<br />
==Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting ... Somewhat==<br />
Nearly everyone has some Martial Arts training, from little girls to old shopkeepers.<br />
<br />
BUT, martial artists do not normally fly through the air or deflect thousands of arrows with their scarf. (Well, maybe at epic levels, they do.)<br />
<br />
Think more of Miyamoto Musashi, Jackie Chan, IP Man, and Bruce Lee, rather than the superhero-level kung fu flicks. Larger than life, with a bit toned down Rule of Cool<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool TVTropes: Rule of Cool]</ref>.<br />
<br />
New paths and subclasses are designed for this kind of game.<br />

==Sample Characters==<br />
These characters are all at 5th level and will be used in a playtest scenario. Note that for Japanese names surname is given first. Never mind whether the name is feminine or masculine; you can choose the character's gender and (if you wish) change the name. A quick switch from feminine ''-ko'' is to change it to ''-ro''.<br />

<div>'''Seirei-tachi''' (精霊達), Spirit People, are humanlike beings with strong spiritual connection to a place or to a certain type of environment, usually a type of natural terrain or element. They replace genasi in Yaranaika.<br />
<br />
'''[[Creature Type]]:''' [[Humanoid]]<br><br />
'''[[Size]]:''' [[Medium]] (about 4–7 feet tall) or [[Small]] (about 3–4 feet tall), chosen when you select this species<br><br />
'''[[Speed]]:''' 30 feet (unless said otherwise)<br />
<br />
One of the spirit people, you have special traits depending on your spiritual connnection.<br />
* All of spirit people have {{darkvision|60}} unless said otherwise.<br />
* Spirit people have one or two physical traits that reflect their spirit. For example, a fire spirit might have unusually high body temperature (50 &deg;C) without suffering any ill effects, and a fiery red hair; or, a savannah spirit people might have brown skin and be unusually tall but still slender.<br />
* Spirit people with '''''[[Amphibious]]''''' trait can breathe air and water. Those with '''''[[Doesn't Breathe]]''''' trait do not need air at all. Thus, they are immune to all inhaled poisons. Certain types of poison gas might still have an effect on them.<br />
<br />
A spirit people tied to a single location is not usually suitable for a player character.<br />

<div>'''[[Yaranaika]]''' {{Ja|やらないか|yaranaika|{{lit|Won't you do it?}}}} is a campaign set in the world of Mythical East at the late 1500s. All the supernatural creatures, monsters, and magic of the Orient actually exist in this world. Some martial artists and ninjas also actually have supernatural powers. ''Ki'' (called "Focus Points" in SRD) is a very real thing. The world is somewhat manga- and anime-themed. So, player characters could be even magical girls, fallen celestials, spirits, constructs resembling humans, y&omacr;kai (supernatural entities and spirits), battle maids and butlers, faeries, and so on. In the background the history of Japan unfolds in the civil wars of the Sengoku period, with famous figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.<!--Perhaps even mongols make an appearance (yes, I know, historically their time was already over, but hey - this is fantasy!).!--><br />

==Languages==<br />
'''NOTE: Most characters (with 3 language slots) still learn only two languages, because one language slot is required to learn reading and writing with ''kanji'''''. Common people have only one language slot and know kana letters and a few basic kanji at most. Instead of a signature, a ''hanko'' stamp is used. Only important agreements are written and signed; for most people, verbal agreements are good enough.<br />
<br />
Common language is replaced by Chinese and Latin.<br />
<br />
[[Character_Creation#Choose_Languages|SRD languages are available]], but most of the inhabitants - including Y&omacr;kai - speak the local language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) as their native language.<br />
<br />
Other languages: Ainu, Okinawan, English, French, Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Urdu, Kannada, Odia, Malayam, Punjabi and over 400 others), Mongolian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and so on.<br />

Bundles of 100 copper coins are the official currency. There are also silver and gold coins, and locally minted coins. For easiness, all coins normally have the same value as standard [[Coins]]. There's also ''koku'', an unit of dry volume, about 180 litres, which was considered an amount of rice to feed one person for one year. ''Koku'' measured the magnitude of a feudal domain. A lord was considered a daimy&omacr; when his domain amounted to at least 10000 ''koku''.<ref name="swp">[https://nihonto.com/samurai-income/ Sword Prices, Origami, and Samurai Income by Markus Sesko]</ref><br />
<br />
One ''koku'' is roughly equal to 12 GP. One person's daily portion of rice costs about 3 to 5 CP - rice is expensive!<ref name="swp" /><br />

=Campaign-Specific Notes=<br />
==Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting ... Somewhat==<br />
Nearly everyone has some Martial Arts training, from little girls to old shopkeepers.<br />
<br />
BUT, martial artists do not normally fly through the air or deflect thousands of arrows with their scarf. (Well, maybe at epic levels, they do.)<br />
<br />
Think more of Miyamoto Musashi, Jackie Chan, IP Man, and Bruce Lee, rather than the superhero-level kung fu flicks. Larger than life, with a bit toned down Rule of Cool<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool TVTropes: Rule of Cool]</ref>.<br />
<br />
New paths and subclasses are designed for this kind of game.<br />
===Typical NPCs===<br />

==Sample Characters==<br />
These characters are all at 5th level and will be used in a playtest scenario. Note that for Japanese names surname is given first. Never mind whether the name is feminine or masculine; you can choose the character's gender and (if you wish) change the name. A quick switch from feminine ''-ko'' is to change it to ''-ro''.<br />

==Languages==<br />
'''NOTE: Most characters (with 3 language slots) still learn only two languages, because one language slot is required to learn reading and writing with ''kanji'''''. Common people have only one language slot and know kana letters and a few basic kanji at most. Instead of a signature, a ''hanko'' stamp is used. Only important agreements are written and signed; for most people, verbal agreements are good enough.<br />
<br />
Common language is replaced by Chinese and Latin.<br />
<br />
[[Character_Creation#Choose_Languages|SRD languages are available]], but most of the inhabitants - including Y&omacr;kai - speak the local language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) as their native language.<br />
<br />
Other languages: Ainu, Okinawan, English, French, Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Urdu, Kannada, Odia, Malayam, Punjabi and over 400 others), Mongolian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and so on.<br />

Bundles of 100 copper coins are the official currency. There are also silver and gold coins, and locally minted coins. For easiness, all coins normally have the same value as standard [[Coins]]. There's also ''koku'', an unit of dry volume, about 180 litres, which was considered an amount of rice to feed one person for one year. ''Koku'' measured the magnitude of a feudal domain. A lord was considered a daimy&omacr; when his domain amounted to at least 10000 ''koku''.<ref name="swp">[https://nihonto.com/samurai-income/ Sword Prices, Origami, and Samurai Income by Markus Sesko]</ref><br />
<br />
One ''koku'' is roughly equal to 12 GP. One person's daily portion of rice costs about 3 to 5 CP - rice is expensive!<ref name="swp" /><br />

=Campaign-Specific Notes=<br />
==Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting ... Somewhat==<br />
Nearly everyone has some Martial Arts training, from little girls to old shopkeepers.<br />
<br />
BUT, martial artists do not normally fly through the air or deflect thousands of arrows with their scarf. (Well, maybe at epic levels, they do.)<br />
<br />
Think more of Miyamoto Musashi, Jackie Chan, IP Man, and Bruce Lee, rather than the superhero-level kung fu flicks. Larger than life, with a bit toned down Rule of Cool<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool TVTropes: Rule of Cool]</ref>.<br />

<div>=Recommended Houserules=<br />
* Perkins criticals: maximize the normal damage, and roll the critical damage.<br />
** Example:<br />
** Lvl 3 Rogue crits a Sneak Attack using his short sword and he has a +3 modfier.<br />
** Normal damage would be = 1d6 weapon + 3 mod + 2d6 sneak.<br />
** Normal crit would be = 1d6 weapon + 3 mod + 2d6 sneak + 3d6 crit.<br />
** Perkins crit would be = 1d6 * weapon* + 3 mod + 2d6 sneak +18 crit, maxed dice.<br />
* Utilizing a healing potion as a full action gives maximum healing. Utilizing it with a bonus action, roll dice for healing.<br />
* A character may unequip any weapons or stow items they are holding then equip another weapon before or after taking an [[attack]] action and, a character may stow any items they are holding and draw another item before or after taking a [[Magic]] or [[Utilize]] action.<br />
* [[Hiding]] should not be [[invisible]] condition.<br />
* Clear Custom Backgrounds rules should be available to players: you can take any one [[Origin Feats]], two skill proficiencies of your choice, one tool proficiency of your choice, and assemble a package of equipment costing 50 gp.<br />

'''[[Creature Type]]:''' [[Humanoid]]<br><br />
'''[[Size]]:''' [[Medium]] (about 4–7 feet tall) or [[Small]] (about 2–4 feet tall), chosen when you select this species<br><br />
'''[[Speed]]:''' 30 feet<br />
<br />
As a Human, you have these special traits.<br />
<br />
'''''[[Persistence Hunter]].''''' You have an extra level of [[Exhaustion]]: Exhaustion 0. When you first get a level of Exhaustion, you get the zero level which doesn't have any effect on you. When you have Exhaustion 0 and get another level of Exhaustion, it becomes Exhaustion level 1 and from that point Exhaustion proceeds and is removed by the normal rules.<br />
<br />
'''''[[Skillful]].''''' You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.<br />
<br />
'''''[[Versatile]].''''' You gain an Origin feat of your choice (see "[[Feats]]"). [[Skilled]] is recommended.<br />

==Disarm==<br />
Disarm is an [[Attack (Action)|Attack action]] made using a melee weapon. You cannot disarm a target that is two or more size categories larger than you, and, obviously, a target that is not wielding a weapon nor using a shield. If target is wielding two weapons, you can only disarm one at a time.<br />
<br />
Make an Attack action aginst DC of <code>8 + target's Strength modifier + target's Proficiency Bonus</code>.<br />
<br />
If target is holding the item with two or more hands, or if you are trying to disarm a shield, or a spellcasting focus, add 5 to DC.<br />
<br />
If target is one category larger than you, add another 5 to DC.<br />
<br />
If you succeed, your target drops the weapon or shield you tried to disarm. On a failure, nothing happens.<br />
<br />
==Sleight of Hand action: Picking Pockets==<br />
Picking pockets is not explained in SRD or the actual game, so I can include it here as an optional variant rule.<br />
<br />
Roll Dexterity ([[Sleight of Hand]]) to pick pockets. <br />
<br />
If your target is unaware of you, [[DC]] is the target's [[Passive Perception]].<br />
<br />
You get [[Disadvantage]] if your target is aware of you being close, or is engaged in combat.<br />
<br />
You cannot succeed if your target is aware of you ''and'' suspects that you are trying to steal something.<br />
<br />
You cannot normally steal items held or worn by the target. To snatch that [[Component Pouch]], for example, use [[#Disarm|Disarm]].<br />

* Perkins criticals: maximize the normal damage, and roll the critical damage.<br />
** Example:<br />
** Lvl 3 Rogue crits a Sneak Attack using his short sword and he has a +3 modfier.<br />
** Normal damage would be = 1d6 weapon + 3 mod + 2d6 sneak.<br />
** Normal crit would be = 1d6 weapon + 3 mod + 2d6 sneak + 3d6 crit.<br />
** Perkins crit would be = 1d6 * weapon* + 3 mod + 2d6 sneak +18 crit, maxed dice.<br />
* Utilizing a healing potion as a full action gives maximum healing. Utilizing it with a bonus action, roll dice for healing.<br />
* A character may unequip any weapons or stow items they are holding then equip another weapon before or after taking an [[attack]] action and, a character may stow any items they are holding and draw another item before or after taking a [[Magic]] or [[Utilize]] action.<br />
* [[Hiding]] should not be [[invisible]] condition.<br />
* Clear Custom Backgrounds rules should be available to players: you can take any one [[Origin Feats]], two skill proficiencies of your choice, one tool proficiency of your choice, and assemble a package of equipment costing 50 gp.<br />

'''[[Creature Type]]:''' [[Humanoid]]<br><br />
'''[[Size]]:''' [[Medium]] (about 4–7 feet tall) or [[Small]] (about 2–4 feet tall), chosen when you select this species<br><br />
'''[[Speed]]:''' 30 feet<br />

As a Human, you have these special traits.<br />
<br />

When you have Exhaustion 0 and get another level of Exhaustion, it becomes Exhaustion level 1 and from that point Exhaustion proceeds and is removed by the normal rules.<br />
<br />
'''''[[Skillful]].''''' You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.<br />
<br />
'''''[[Versatile]].''''' You gain an Origin feat of your choice (see "[[Feats]]"). [[Skilled]] is recommended.<br />

=Proficiency=<br />
==Disarm==<br />
Disarm is an [[Attack (Action)|Attack action]] made using a melee weapon. You cannot disarm a target that is two or more size categories larger than you, and, obviously, a target that is not wielding a weapon nor using a shield. If target is wielding two weapons, you can only disarm one at a time.<br />
<br />
Make an Attack action aginst DC of <code>8 + target's Strength modifier + target's Proficiency Bonus</code>.<br />
<br />
If target is holding the item with two or more hands, or if you are trying to disarm a shield, or a spellcasting focus, add 5 to DC.<br />
<br />
If target is one category larger than you, add another 5 to DC.<br />
<br />
If you succeed, your target drops the weapon or shield you tried to disarm. On a failure, nothing happens.<br />
<br />
==Sleight of Hand action: Picking Pockets==<br />
Picking pockets is not explained in SRD or the actual game, so I can include it here as an optional variant rule.<br />
<br />
Roll Dexterity ([[Sleight of Hand]]) to pick pockets. <br />
<br />
If your target is unaware of you, [[DC]] is the target's [[Passive Perception]].<br />
<br />
You get [[Disadvantage]] if your target is aware of you being close, or is engaged in combat.<br />
<br />
You cannot succeed if your target is aware of you ''and'' suspects that you are trying to steal something.<br />
<br />
You cannot normally steal items held or worn by the target. To snatch that [[Component Pouch]], for example, use [[#Disarm|Disarm]].<br />

'''Magical Girl''' (魔法少女, ''mahō shōjo'') is a heroine that has mysterious powers, which are either bestowed by supernatural beings such as gods or spirits, or are innate powers that the heroine is born with. Most magical girls gain or find their powers between the ages of 10 and 14. The magical girls "transformation" symbolizes the maturation from childhood to womanhood. Adventuring magical girls are usually grown-ups.<br />
<br />
NOTE: magical girls can be of any gender. Most of them just happen to be girls.<br />
<br />
'''Your spell focus is your transformation.''' When you are transformed, you don't need any other spell focus. You may own a "magic wand" or another item, but you don't actually need it (although you may believe so). Your transformed form resembles you, but has a completely different outfit. A half mask appears and covers your eyes in some outfits. Your transformation outfit is always same, but it might change in some circumstances.<br />
<br />
If you become [[Incapacitated]] or drop down to 0 [[Hit Points]], you immediately transform back to your normal "mortal" form. If you were flying, you (and your possible familiar) are automatically affected by ''[[Feather Fall]]''.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: Magical Girls usually wish to keep their identity a secret.''' You attract a ''lot'' of attention while transformed. If people knew that you are a Magical Girl, your fans and enemies would flock to you all the time. Your fellow adventurers obviously know the secret, but they keep it to themselves. Hopefully.<br />

==Magical Girl Features==<br />
===Level 1: Magical Girl Powers===<br />
'''''Transformation.''''' It takes one full round for you to transform, but traditionally nobody ever interferes or attempts to prevent you from transforming. Everyone just politely waits that your transformation is over. But, a particularly evil enemy (a big boss) ''might'' attempt to stop you. In these rare cases, GM will decide what happens and maybe makes a dice roll.<br />
<br />
Your features work only when you are transformed, unless otherwise said. You can always use your armor, skill, tool, and weapon proficiencies.<br />
<br />
When you transform, your armor (except shield) and clothing meld into your new form and you can't use their features. Items you are carrying in your hands do not meld. Of course you can take off your armor and items, transform, and put them back on, but that takes several rounds. There are MGPs for these things.<br />
<br />
At 1st level, you gain one MGP, and more of them as you progress. See Magical Girl Powers in the table for the number.<br />
<br />
'''''Familiar.''''' You are able to cast ''[[Find Familiar]]'' spell as a [[Ritual]]. Your familiar and all the benefits and features bestowed by it remain even while you are not transformed.<br />
<br />
===Level 2: Magical Girl's Focus===<br />
Your focus and martial training allow you to harness a well of extraordinary energy within yourself. This energy is represented by Focus Points. Your Magical Girl level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Focus Points column of the Magical Girl Features table.<br />
<br />
Magical Girls generally use Focus Points for maneuvers and magic effects. Magical Girl Powers never use Focus Points.<br />
<br />
While transformed, you can expend these points to enhance or fuel certain Magical Girl features. You start knowing three such features: Extra Attack, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind, each of which is detailed below. When you expend a Focus Point, it is unavailable until you finish a [[Short Rest|Short]] or [[Long Rest]], at the end of which you regain all your expended points.<br />
<br />
Some features that use Focus Points require your target to make a saving throw. The save DC equals 8 plus your Charisma modifier and Proficiency Bonus.<br />
<br />
'''''Extra Attack.''''' As a [[Bonus Action]], you can expend 1 Focus Point to make a single extra Attack. You can even do it with a [[Hand Crossbow]] or a [[Pistol]], but not other weapons with Loading property.<br />
<br />
'''''Patient Defense.''''' You can take the Disengage action as a Bonus Action. Alternatively, you can expend 1 Focus Point to take both the Disengage and the Dodge actions as a Bonus Action. Your familiar, if within 5 feet of you, gains the same benefits.<br />
<br />
'''''Step of the Wind.''''' You can take the Dash action as a Bonus Action. Alternatively, you can expend 1 Focus Point to take both the Disengage and Dash actions as a Bonus Action, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn. Your familiar, if within 5 feet of you, gains the same benefits.<br />
<br />
===Level 10: Heightened Magical Girl's Focus===<br />
While transformed, your Extra Attack, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind gain the following benefits.<br />
<br />
'''''Extra Attack.''''' As a [[Bonus Action]], you can expend 1 Focus Point and make two extra attacks with it instead of one, as a [[Bonus Action]]. You can't do this with a weapon with Loading property, except a [[Hand Crossbow]] or a [[Pistol]].<br />
<br />
'''Patient Defense.''' When you expend a Focus Point to use Patient Defense, you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to two times your [[Proficiency Bonus]]. Your familiar, if within 5 feet of you, also gains same amount of Temporary Hit Points.<br />
<br />
'''Step of the Wind.''' When you expend a Focus Point to use Step of the Wind, you can choose a willing creature within 5 feet of yourself that is Large or smaller. You move the creature with you until the end of your turn. The creature's movement doesn't provoke [[Opportunity Attack]]s. Your familiar, if within 5 feet of you, also moves with you.<br />
<br />
===Level 20: Magical Princess===<br />
While transformed, you can three times per day take a Magic Action cast ''[[Wish]]'' spell without suffering any stress. Reshaping Reality still has all its other risks. Your three wishes recharge after a [[Long Rest]].<br />
<br />
==List of Magical Girl Powers==<br />
Magical Girl Powers (MGPs) are quite similar to [[Warlock|Warlock's]] Eldritch Invocations, but most MPGs are magical effects. You can only take each MGP once, unless said otherwise. MGPs never use Focus Points.<br />
<br />
MGPs can be dispelled unless said otherwise. Some can be negated by ''[[Counterspell]]''. A dispelled power comes back after a [[Short Rest|Short]] or [[Long Rest]]. ''[[Antimagic Field]]'' spell suppresses all powers that can be dispelled. See below for exceptions.<br />
<br />
===Armored Girl===<br />
Your armor becomes part of your outfit and you gain its benefits (and possible Disadvantage to Stealth) while transformed. Magic armor also keeps its power(s).<br />
<br />
This power cannot be dispelled, but ''[[Antimagic Field]]'' spell suppresses all magical features of armor.<br />
<br />
===Attack of the 50 Foot Girl===<br />
''Prerequisite: Level 15+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
While transformed, you can change into [[Gargantuan]] size version of your form, or back to your normal transformed size. Both take a [[Bonus Action]]. You need 20&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;20 feet free space to enlarge, otherwise the power fails. Increasing your size gives you 8d8 [[Temporary Hit Points]]. While Gargantuan-sized, you gain +8 bonus to all Strength-related checks and your melee attacks, thrown weapon attacks, and unarmed strikes using Strength do +8 extra damage. You [[Armor Class]] suffers a -4 penalty.<br />
<br />
This power can be dispelled, as a 7th-level spell.<br />
<br />
===Blind Fighting Girl===<br />
While [[Blinded]] or can't otherwise see, your attack rolls do not have [[Disadvantage]] and neither attacks against you have [[Advantage]].<br />
<br />
===Blindseeing Girl===<br />
''Prerequisite: Level 5+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
While transformed, you gain [[Blindsight]] to a range of 60 feet. This power can be dispelled as a 2nd-level spell.<br />
<br />
===Brachiating Girl===<br />
''"AAH-EEH-AH-EEH-AAAAAAH-EEH-AH-EEH-AAAAAH!"'' - every Tarzan movie and parody since April 2nd, 1932<br />
<br />
While transformed, in a forest or jungle with sufficient branching in trees you gain [[Brachiation Speed]]; you can swing from branch to branch at your normal ground speed. You can even take the Dash action. GM might require Dexterity ([[Acrobatics]]) roll in some situations.<br />
<br />
This power can be dispelled, as a 2nd-level spell.<br />
<br />
===Daylight Girl===<br />
''Prerequisite: Level 7+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
While transformed, you emanate a 60-feet radius sunlight, equivalent to ''[[Daylight]]'' spell. You can opt not to use this power. This power can be dispelled as a 3rd-level spell.<br />
<br />
===Deflective Girl===<br />
While transformed, you add your Charisma modifier to your Armor Class. This power can be dispelled as a 3rd-level spell.<br />
<br />
===Fast Girl===<br />
Add 10 ft. to your base movement rate. This is a permanent enhancement and cannot be dispelled or negated.<br />
<br />
You can take this MGP several times, each time adding +10 ft. to your base movement rate.<br />
<br />
===Flying Girl===<br />
''Prerequisite: Level 7+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
You gain [[Fly Speed]] of 30 feet. If you have a familiar, it also gains fly speed.<br />
<br />
MGP flight is magical and it can be dispelled. Consider this power as a 3rd-level spell. If your Fly Speed gets dispelled, you and your familiar automatically become subject to ''[[Feather Fall]]'' cast at 1st level. (This can also be dispelled!)<br />
<br />
===Elemental Body Girl===<br />
''Prerequisite: Level 7+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
While transformed, your body turns into elemental material, if you want. Choose one of the elements below. You can take this MGP several times, choosing a different element each time. You can only transform to one elemental type you have at a time. You retain your Resistances and Immunities regardless of the element you are using. Note: Resistances and Immunities do not add up: you are only affected by the most effective protection.<br />
<br />
'''''Body of Elemental Air.''''' You gain [[Resistance]] against [[Cold]], [[Lightning]] and [[Thunder]] damage. Your body is invisible but your outfit and equipment aren't. You can take off everything to become [[Invisible]], but you'd be, ahem, completely nude and without weapons. Also, you need to retrieve your gear; in these cases it will stay in the place where you took it off.<br />
<br />
'''''Body of Elemental Earth.''''' You gain [[Resistance]] against [[Bludgeoning]], [[Piercing]] and [[Slashing]] damage.<br />
<br />
'''''Body of Elemental Fire.''''' You gain [[Resistance]] against [[Fire]] and [[Radiant]] damage.<br />
<br />
'''''Body of Elemental Water.''''' You gain [[Swim Speed]] equal to your walking speed or fly speed, whichever is better. You become amphibious and can breathe both air and liquid.<br />
<br />
An elemental-like body certainly looks weird (or awesome). GM decides how it affects [[Social Interaction]], case by case.<br />
<br />
This power can be dispelled, as a 4th-level spell.<br />
<br />
===Immune Girl===<br />
''Prerequisite: Level 13+ Resistant Girl MGP of the chosen type''<br />
<br />
You gain continuous [[Immunity]] to one [[Damage Types|Damage Type]] which you can choose, except [[Force]] damage. You are required to have Resistant Girl power of the chosen element to get this power.<br />
<br />
You can take this power many times, each time for a different damage type. This power can be dispelled, as a 7th-level spell.<br />
<br />
===Improved Flying Girl===<br />
''Prerequisite: Flight Girl MGP''<br />
<br />
Your and your familiar's [[Fly Speed]] increase to 60 feet. You both are also now able to [[hover]].<br />
<br />
MGP flight is magical and it can be dispelled. Consider this power as a 4th-level spell.<br />
<br />
===Improved Outfit Girl===<br />
While transformed, you keep all the benefits of magic items you are carrying or are attuned to.<br />
<br />
This power cannot be dispelled, but ''[[Antimagic Field]]'' spell suppresses all effects of magic items.<br />
<br />
===Magical Girl Ability===<br />
''Prerequisite: 4th+ level Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
Add +1 to one of your Ability Scores. You can take this power many times, even to the same ability, up to a maximum score of 30. This power cannot be dispelled nor suppressed; the ability increase is permanent.<br />
<br />
===Lucky Girl===<br />
While transformed, if you roll a 1 on any Attack Roll, Ability Check or Saving Throw, you can reroll the die. You must use the new roll.<br />
<br />
This power cannot be dispelled, but ''[[Antimagic Field]]'' spell suppresses it.<br />
<br />
===Resistant Girl===<br />
''Prerequisite: Level 5+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
You gain continuous [[Resistance]] to one [[Damage Types|Damage Type]] which you can choose, except [[Force]] damage. You can take this power many times, each time for a different damage type. This power can be dispelled, as a 3rd-level spell.<br />
<br />
===Signature Element Weapon===<br />
''Prerequisite: Signature Weapon MGP for the weapon''<br />
<br />
While transformed, your chosen weapon causes extra 1d6 damage of [[Cold]], [[Fire]], [[Lightning]], or [[Thunder]] type. You choose the type while you take this MGP and it will not change after that. You can take this MGP several times, each time for a different weapon.<br />
<br />
Good Magical Girl can also choose [[Radiant]] damage, and an evil girl, [[Necrotic]] damage.<br />
<br />
On a magic weapon, the effects are cumulative. E.g. if you have a ''[[Flame Tongue]]'' weapon, taking Signature Element Weapon (Fire) adds 2d6 fire damage instead of just 2d6.<br />
<br />
This MGP is considered a 3rd-level effect which can't be dispelled&mdash;but it can be negated by ''[[Antimagic Field]]'' or a similar effect.<br />
<br />
===Signature Weapon===<br />
You can use the [[mastery properties]] of your chosen weapon or your [[Unarmed Strike]]. You can take this MGP several times, each for a different weapon. You need to carry your chosen weapon for it to be included in your transformation.<br />
<br />
While transformed, your signature weapon or its ammunition is considered a magic weapon.<br />
<br />
This power can't be dispelled, but ''[[Antimagic Field]]'' spell suppresses any magical features of your weapons.<br />
<br />
===Signature Weapon Extra Attack===<br />
''Prerequisite: Signature Weapon MGP for the weapon, level 5+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
While transformed, you can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn with your Signature Weapon. You can take this MGP several times, each time for a different weapon. <br />
<br />
This power can't be dispelled, but ''[[Antimagic Field]]'' spell suppresses any magical features of your weapons.<br />
<br />
===Signature Weapon Improved Critical===<br />
''Prerequisite: Signature Weapon MGP for the weapon, level 3+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
While transformed, your signature weapon scores a Critical Hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20. You can take this MGP several times, each time for a different weapon. <br />
<br />
This power can't be dispelled, but ''[[Antimagic Field]]'' spell suppresses any magical features of your weapons.<br />
<br />
===Signature Weapon Two Extra Attacks===<br />
''Prerequisite: Signature Weapon Extra Attack MGP for the weapon, level 11+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
While transformed, you can attack three times instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn with your Signature Weapon. You can take this MGP several times, each time for a different weapon. <br />
<br />
This power can't be dispelled, but ''[[Antimagic Field]]'' spell suppresses any magical features of your weapons.<br />
<br />
===Signature Weapon Tactician===<br />
''Prerequisite: Signature Weapon MGP for the weapon, level 9+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
While transformed, when you attack with a weapon whose mastery property you can use, you can replace that property with the Push, Sap, or Slow property for that attack. You can take this MGP several times, each time for a different weapon.<br />
<br />
This power can't be dispelled, but ''[[Antimagic Field]]'' spell suppresses any magical features of your weapons.<br />
<br />
===Super Flying Girl===<br />
''Prerequisite: Improved Flying Girl MGP''<br />
<br />
Your and your familiar's [[Fly Speed]] increase to 240 feet.<br />
<br />
MGP flight is magical and it can be dispelled. Consider this power a 6th-level spell.<br />
<br />
===The Incredible Shrinking Girl===<br />
''Prerequisite: Level 9+ Magical Girl''<br />
<br />
While transformed, you can change into [[Tiny]] size version of your form, or back to your normal transformed size. Both take a [[Bonus Action]]. While Tiny-sized, you have [[Disadvantage]] to all [[Strength]]-related checks but [[Advantage]] to all [[Dexterity]]-related checks. These include attacks, ability checks and saving throws. You [[Armor Class]] gains a +2 bonus.<br />
<br />
While you are [[Tiny]], you can pass through the space of [[Medium]] or larger creatures, friend or foe. This doesn't stop you for being subject to [[Opportunity Attacks]].<br />
<br />
This power can be dispelled, as a5th-level spell.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>'''[[Yaranaika]]''' {{Ja|やらないか|yaranaika|{{lit|Won't you do it?}}}} is a campaign set in the world of Mythical East at the late 1500s. All the supernatural creatures, monsters, and magic of the Orient actually exist in this world. Some martial artists and ninjas also actually have supernatural powers. ''Ki'' (called "Focus Points" in SRD) is a very real thing. The world is somewhat manga- and anime-themed. So, player characters could be even magical girls, fallen celestials, spirits, constructs resembling humans, y&omacr;kai (supernatural entities and spirits), battle maids and butlers, faeries, and so on. In the background the history of Japan unfolds in the civil wars of the Sengoku period, with famous figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.<!--Perhaps even mongols make an appearance (yes, I know, historically their time was already over, but hey - this is fantasy!).!--><br />

==Languages==<br />
'''NOTE: Most characters (with 3 language slots) still learn only two languages, because one language slot is required to learn reading and writing with ''kanji'''''. Common people have only one language slot and know kana letters and a few basic kanji at most. Instead of a signature, a ''hanko'' stamp is used. Only important agreements are written and signed; for most people, verbal agreements are good enough.<br />
<br />
Common language is replaced by Chinese and Latin.<br />
<br />
[[Character_Creation#Choose_Languages|SRD languages are available]], but most of the inhabitants - including Y&omacr;kai - speak the local language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) as their native language.<br />
<br />
Other languages: Ainu, Okinawan, English, French, Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Urdu, Kannada, Odia, Malayam, Punjabi and over 400 others), Mongolian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and so on.<br />

Bundles of 100 copper coins are the official currency. There are also silver and gold coins, and locally minted coins. For easiness, all coins normally have the same value as standard [[Coins]]. There's also ''koku'', an unit of dry volume, about 180 litres, which was considered an amount of rice to feed one person for one year. ''Koku'' measured the magnitude of a feudal domain. A lord was considered a daimy&omacr; when his domain amounted to at least 10000 ''koku''.<ref name="swp">[https://nihonto.com/samurai-income/ Sword Prices, Origami, and Samurai Income by Markus Sesko]</ref><br />
<br />
One ''koku'' is roughly equal to 12 GP. One person's daily portion of rice costs about 3 to 5 CP - rice is expensive!<ref name="swp" /><br />

Masazane also forged a sword called '''''Inoshishi-giri''''' (猪切; "boar-slayer") whose name came from a legend that Sakai Tadatsugu killed a wild boar with this sword when accompanying Ieyasu in hunting.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muramasa#Notable%20works Murasama: Notable works at Wikipedia]</ref><br />

=Campaign-Specific Notes=<br />
==Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting ... Somewhat==<br />
Nearly everyone has some Martial Arts training, from little girls to old shopkeepers.<br />
<br />
BUT, martial artists do not normally fly through the air or deflect thousands of arrows with their scarf. (Well, maybe at epic levels, they do.)<br />
<br />
Think more of Miyamoto Musashi, Jackie Chan, IP Man, and Bruce Lee, rather than the superhero-level kung fu flicks. Larger than life, with a bit toned down Rule of Cool<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool TVTropes: Rule of Cool]</ref>.<br />
<br />

'''Obasan''' (おばさん) are the terrifying old women of Mythic Japan. Feared, respected (as much as old men), and indestructible. Despite the name, you can choose any gender. Old men are called ''ojisan'' (おじさん, means "uncle") - not to be confused with ''oj&imacr;san'' (おじいさん), which means "grandpa".<br />
<br />
So, your character begins adventuring at an old age. You are often much more direct than younger people, because you just don't care anymore. ''They figure they're almost dead, why step on eggshells now? I think this is why Japanese obasan are so damned strong – essentially, they're Klingons. "Yes, today would be a good day to die. Now get the fuck outta my way."''<ref name="gc">[https://gaijinchronicles.wordpress.com/2007/02/22/dirty-dancing/ Gaijin Chronicles: Dirty Dancing. 2th Feb, 2007, Azrael]</ref><br />
<br />
Azrael of Gaijin Smash (formerly "I am a Japanese School Teacher",) comments periodically on what a terror an angry oba-san can be. In one entry he describes how a field trip up Mount Fuji was cut short by a terrible typhoon, and on the way down his group was passed by a troop of obasan who had already reached the top through the building winds, and were now marching down.<ref>[https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Oba-san#Web_Original Oba-san, Allthetropes.org]</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>'''[[Yaranaika]]''' {{Ja|やらないか|yaranaika|{{lit|Won't you do it?}}}} is a campaign set in the world of Mythical East at the late 1500s. All the supernatural creatures, monsters, and magic of the Orient actually exist in this world. Some martial artists and ninjas also actually have supernatural powers. ''Ki'' (called "Focus Points" in SRD) is a very real thing. The world is somewhat manga- and anime-themed. So, player characters could be even magical girls, fallen celestials, spirits, constructs resembling humans, y&omacr;kai (supernatural entities and spirits), battle maids and butlers, faeries, and so on. In the background the history of Japan unfolds in the civil wars of the Sengoku period, with famous figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.<!--Perhaps even mongols make an appearance (yes, I know, historically their time was already over, but hey - this is fantasy!).!--><br />

==Languages==<br />
'''NOTE: Most characters (with 3 language slots) still learn only two languages, because one language slot is required to learn reading and writing with ''kanji'''''. Common people have only one language slot and know kana letters and a few basic kanji at most. Instead of a signature, a ''hanko'' stamp is used. Only important agreements are written and signed; for most people, verbal agreements are good enough.<br />
<br />
Common language is replaced by Chinese and Latin.<br />
<br />
[[Character_Creation#Choose_Languages|SRD languages are available]], but most of the inhabitants - including Y&omacr;kai - speak the local language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) as their native language.<br />
<br />
Other languages: Ainu, Okinawan, English, French, Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Urdu, Kannada, Odia, Malayam, Punjabi and over 400 others), Mongolian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and so on.<br />

Bundles of 100 copper coins are the official currency. There are also silver and gold coins, and locally minted coins. For easiness, all coins normally have the same value as standard [[Coins]]. There's also ''koku'', an unit of dry volume, about 180 litres, which was considered an amount of rice to feed one person for one year. ''Koku'' measured the magnitude of a feudal domain. A lord was considered a daimy&omacr; when his domain amounted to at least 10000 ''koku''.<ref name="swp">[https://nihonto.com/samurai-income/ Sword Prices, Origami, and Samurai Income by Markus Sesko]</ref><br />
<br />
One ''koku'' is roughly equal to 12 GP. One person's daily portion of rice costs about 3 to 5 CP - rice is expensive!<ref name="swp" /><br />

=Campaign-Specific Notes=<br />
==Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting ... Somewhat==<br />
Nearly everyone has some Martial Arts training, from little girls to old shopkeepers.<br />
<br />
BUT, martial artists do not normally fly through the air or deflect thousands of arrows with their scarf. (Well, maybe at epic levels, they do.)<br />
<br />
Think more of Miyamoto Musashi, Jackie Chan, IP Man, and Bruce Lee, rather than the superhero-level kung fu flicks. Larger than life, with a bit toned down Rule of Cool<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool TVTropes: Rule of Cool]</ref>.<br />
<br />
New paths and subclasses are designed for this kind of game.<br />

==Paladin Class Features==<br />
As a Paladin, you gain the following class features<br />
when you reach the specified Paladin levels. These<br />
features are listed in the Paladin Features table.<br />
===Level 1: Lay On Hands===<br />
{{sidebar|30%}}<br />
===Breaking Your Oath===<br />
A Paladin tries to hold to the highest standards of conduct, but even the most dedicated are fallible. Sometimes a Paladin transgresses their oath.<br />
<br />
A Paladin who has broken a vow typically seeks absolution, spending an all-night vigil as a sign of penitence or undertaking a fast. After a rite of forgiveness, the Paladin starts fresh.<br />
<br />
If your Paladin unrepentantly violates their oath, talk to your GM. Your Paladin should probably take a more appropriate subclass or even abandon the class and adopt another one.</div><br />
Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a<br />
pool of healing power that replenishes when you<br />
finish a [[Long Rest]]. With that pool, you can restore a<br />
total number of Hit Points equal to five times your<br />
Paladin level.<br />
<br />
As a Bonus Action, you can touch a creature<br />
(which could be yourself) and draw power from the<br />
pool of healing to restore a number of Hit Points to<br />
that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining<br />
in the pool.<br />
<br />
You can also expend 5 Hit Points from the pool of<br />
healing power to remove the Poisoned condition<br />
from the creature; those points don't also restore<br />
Hit Points to the creature.<br />
<br />
===Level 1: Spellcasting===<br />
You have learned to cast spells through prayer and<br />
meditation. See "Spells" for the rules on spellcasting.<br />
The information below details how you use<br />
those rules with Paladin spells, which appear in the<br />
Paladin spell list later in the class's description.<br />
<br />
'''''Spell Slots.''''' The Paladin Features table shows<br />
how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+<br />
spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish<br />
a [[Long Rest]].<br />
<br />
'''''Prepared Spells of Level 1+.''''' You prepare the<br />
list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to<br />
cast with this feature. To start, choose two level<br />
1 Paladin spells. Heroism and Searing Smite are<br />
recommended.<br />
<br />
The number of spells on your list increases as<br />
you gain Paladin levels, as shown in the Prepared<br />
Spells column of the Paladin Features table. Whenever<br />
that number increases, choose additional<br />
Paladin spells until the number of spells on your<br />
list matches the number in the Paladin Features<br />
table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which<br />
you have spell slots. For example, if you're a level 5<br />
Paladin, your list of prepared spells can include six<br />
Paladin spells of level 1 or 2 in any combination.<br />
<br />
If another Paladin feature gives you spells that<br />
you always have prepared, those spells don't count<br />
against the number of spells you can prepare with<br />
this feature, but those spells otherwise count as<br />
Paladin spells for you.<br />
<br />
'''''Changing Your Prepared Spells.''''' Whenever you<br />
finish a Long Rest, you can replace one spell on your<br />
list with another Paladin spell for which you have<br />
spell slots.<br />
<br />
'''''Spellcasting Ability.''''' Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Paladin spells.<br />
<br />
'''''Spellcasting Focus.''''' You can use a [[Holy Symbol]] as a Spellcasting Focus for your Paladin spells.<br />
<br />
===Level 1: Weapon Mastery===<br />
Your training with weapons allows you to use the<br />
mastery properties of two kinds of weapons of your<br />
choice with which you have proficiency, such as<br />
Longswords and Javelins.<br />
<br />
Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change<br />
the kinds of weapons you chose. For example, you<br />
could switch to using the mastery properties of Halberds<br />
and Flails.<br />
<br />
===Level 2: Fighting Style===<br />
You gain a Fighting Style feat of your choice (see<br />
"Feats" for feats). Instead of choosing one of those<br />
feats, you can choose the option below.<br />
<br />
'''''Blessed Warrior.''''' You learn two Cleric cantrips of your choice (see the Cleric class's section for a list of Cleric spells). Guidance and Sacred Flame are recommended. The chosen cantrips count as Paladin spells for you, and Charisma is your spellcasting ability for them. Whenever you gain a Paladin level, you can replace one of these cantrips with another Cleric cantrip.<br />
<br />
===Level 2: Paladin's Smite===<br />
You always have the Divine Smite spell prepared. In<br />
addition, you can cast it without expending a spell<br />
slot, but you must finish a Long Rest before you can<br />
cast it in this way again.<br />
<br />
===Level 3: Channel Divinity===<br />
You can channel divine energy directly from the<br />
Outer Planes, using it to fuel magical effects. You<br />
start with one such effect: Divine Sense, which is<br />
described below. Other Paladin features give additional<br />
Channel Divinity effect options. Each time<br />
you use this class's Channel Divinity, you choose<br />
which effect from this class to create.<br />
<br />
You can use this class's Channel Divinity twice.<br />
You regain one of its expended uses when you finish<br />
a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when<br />
you finish a [[Long Rest]]. You gain an additional use<br />
when you reach Paladin level 11.<br />
<br />
If a Channel Divinity effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals the spell save DC from this class's Spellcasting feature.<br />
<br />
'''''Divine Sense.''''' As a Bonus Action, you can open<br />
your awareness to detect Celestials, Fiends, and<br />
Undead. For the next 10 minutes or until you have<br />
the Incapacitated condition, you know the location<br />
of any creature of those types within 60 feet of<br />
yourself, and you know its creature type. Within<br />
the same radius, you also detect the presence of any<br />
place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated,<br />
as with the Hallow spell.<br />
<br />
===Level 3: Paladin Subclass===<br />
You gain a Paladin subclass of your choice. The Oath<br />
of Devotion subclass is detailed after this class's description.<br />
A subclass is a specialization that grants<br />
you features at certain Paladin levels. For the rest<br />
of your career, you gain each of your subclass's features<br />
that are of your Paladin level or lower.<br />
<br />
===Level 4: Ability Score Improvement===<br />
You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat (see "Feats") or another feat of your choice for which you qualify. You gain this feature again at Paladin levels 8, 12, and 16.<br />
<br />
===Level 5: Extra Attack===<br />
You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.<br />
<br />
===Level 5: Faithful Steed===<br />
You can call on the aid of an otherworldly steed. You always have the ''[[Find Steed]]'' spell prepared.<br />
<br />
You can also cast the spell once without expending a spell slot, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a [[Long Rest]].<br />
<br />
===Level 6: Aura of Protection===<br />
You radiate a protective, unseeable aura in a 10-foot<br />
Emanation that originates from you. The aura is inactive<br />
while you have the Incapacitated condition.<br />
<br />
You and your allies in the aura gain a bonus to<br />
saving throws equal to your Charisma modifier<br />
(minimum bonus of +1).<br />
<br />
If another Paladin is present, a creature can benefit<br />
from only one Aura of Protection at a time; the<br />
creature chooses which aura while in them.<br />
<br />
===Level 9: Abjure Foes===<br />
As a Magic action, you can expend one use of this<br />
class's Channel Divinity to overwhelm foes with<br />
awe. As you present your Holy Symbol or weapon,<br />
you can target a number of creatures equal to your<br />
Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature) that<br />
you can see within 60 feet of yourself. Each target<br />
must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have the<br />
Frightened condition for 1 minute or until it takes<br />
any damage. While Frightened in this way, a target<br />
can do only one of the following on its turns: move,<br />
take an action, or take a Bonus Action.<br />
<br />
===Level 10: Aura of Courage===<br />
You and your allies have Immunity to the Frightened<br />
condition while in your Aura of Protection. If<br />
a Frightened ally enters the aura, that condition has<br />
no effect on that ally while there.<br />
<br />
===Level 11: Radiant Strikes===<br />
Your strikes now carry supernatural power. When<br />
you hit a target with an attack roll using a Melee<br />
weapon or an Unarmed Strike, the target takes an<br />
extra 1d8 Radiant damage.<br />
<br />
===Level 14: Restoring Touch===<br />
When you use Lay On Hands on a creature, you can<br />
also remove one or more of the following conditions<br />
from the creature: Blinded, Charmed, Deafened,<br />
Frightened, Paralyzed, or Stunned. You must expend<br />
5 Hit Points from the healing pool of Lay On Hands for each of these conditions you remove; those points don't also restore Hit Points to the creature.<br />
<br />
===Level 18: Aura Expansion===<br />
Your Aura of Protection is now a 30-foot Emanation.<br />
<br />
===Level 19: Epic Boon===<br />
You gain an Epic Boon feat (see "Feats") or another<br />
feat of your choice for which you qualify. Boon of<br />
Truesight is recommended.<br />
<br />
==Paladin Spell List==<br />
This section presents the Paladin spell list. The spells are organized by spell level and then alphabetized, and each spell's school of magic is listed. In the Special column, C means the spell requires Concentration, R means it's a Ritual, and M means it requires a specific Material component.<br />

<br />
==Paladin Subclass: Oath of Devotion==<br />
''Uphold the Ideals of Justice and Order''<br />
<br />
The Oath of Devotion binds Paladins to the ideals of justice and order. These Paladins meet the archetype of the knight in shining armor. They hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct, and some—for better or worse—hold the rest of the world to the same standards. <br />
<br />
Many who swear this oath are devoted to gods of law and good and use their gods' tenets as the measure of personal devotion. Others hold angels as their ideals and incorporate images of angelic wings into their helmets or coats of arms.<br />
<br />
These paladins share the following tenets:<br />
* Let your word be your promise.<br />
* Protect the weak and never fear to act.<br />
* Let your honorable deeds be an example.<br />
<br />
===Level 3: Oath of Devotion Spells===<br />
The magic of your oath ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Paladin level specified in the Oath of Devotion Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.<br />
{|class="wikitable"<br />

<br />
===Level 3: Sacred Weapon===<br />
When you take the Attack action, you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity to imbue one Melee weapon that you are holding with positive energy. For 10 minutes or until you use this feature again, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls you make with that weapon (minimum bonus of +1), and each time you hit with it, you cause it to deal its normal damage type or Radiant damage.<br />
<br />
The weapon also emits Bright Light in a 20-foot radius and Dim Light 20 feet beyond that.<br />
<br />
You can end this effect early (no action required). This effect also ends if you aren't carrying the weapon.<br />
<br />
===Level 7: Aura of Devotion===<br />
You and your allies have Immunity to the Charmed condition while in your Aura of Protection. If a Charmed ally enters the aura, that condition has no effect on that ally while there.<br />
<br />
===Level 15: Smite of Protection===<br />
Your magical smite now radiates protective energy. Whenever you cast Divine Smite, you and your allies have Half Cover while in your Aura of Protection. The aura has this benefit until the start of your next turn.<br />
<br />
===Level 20: Holy Nimbus===<br />
As a Bonus Action, you can imbue your Aura of Protection with holy power, granting the benefits below for 10 minutes or until you end them (no action required). Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a [[Long Rest]]. You can also restore your use of it by expending a level 5 spell slot (no action required).<br />
<br />
'''''Holy Ward.''''' You have Advantage on any saving throw you are forced to make by a Fiend or an Undead.<br />
<br />
'''''Radiant Damage.''''' Whenever an enemy starts its turn in the aura, that creature takes Radiant damage equal to your Charisma modifier plus your Proficiency Bonus.<br />
<br />
'''''Sunlight.''''' The aura is filled with Bright Light that is sunlight.</div>

<br />
A Figurine of Wondrous Power is a statuette small enough to fit in a pocket. If you take a Magic action to throw the figurine to a point on the ground within 60 feet of yourself, the figurine becomes a living creature specified in the figurine's description below. If the space where the creature would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn't enough space for the creature, the figurine doesn't become a creature.<br />
<br />
The creature is Friendly to you and your allies. It understands your languages, obeys your commands, and takes its turn immediately after you on your Initiative count. If you issued no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions.<br />
<br />
The creature exists for a duration specific to each figurine. At the end of the duration, the creature reverts to its figurine form. It reverts to a figurine early if its creature form drops to 0 Hit Points or if you take a Magic action while touching the creature to make it revert to figurine form. When the creature becomes a figurine again, its property can't be used again until a certain amount of time has passed, as specified in the figurine's description.<br />
<br />
'''''Bronze Griffon (Rare).''''' This bronze statuette is of a griffon rampant. It can become a [[Griffon]] for up to 6 hours. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 5 days have passed.<br />
<br />
'''''Ebony Fly (Rare).''''' This ebony statuette, carved in the likeness of a horsefly, can become a [[Giant Fly]] (see the accompanying stat block) for up to 12 hours and can be ridden as a mount. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 2 days have passed.<br />
<br />
'''''Golden Lions (Rare).''''' These gold statuettes of lions are always created in pairs. You can use one figurine or both simultaneously. Each can become a [[Lion[[ for up to 1 hour. Once a lion has been used, it can't be used again until 7 days have passed.<br />
<br />
'''''Ivory Goats (Rare).''''' These ivory statuettes of goats are always created in sets of three. Each goat looks unique and functions differently from the others. Their properties are as follows:<br />
<br />
'''''Goat of Terror.''' This figurine can become a [[Giant Goat]] for up to 3 hours. The goat can't attack, but you can (harmlessly) remove its horns and use<br />
them as weapons. One horn becomes a +1 [[Lance]], and the other becomes a +2 Longsword. Removing a horn requires a [[Magic action]], and the weapons disappear and the horns return when the goat reverts to figurine form. While you ride the goat, any Hostile creature that starts its turn within a 30-foot [[Emanation]] originating from the goat must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or have the Frightened condition for 1 minute, until you are no longer riding the goat, or until the goat reverts to figurine form. The [[Frightened]] creature repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once it succeeds on the save, a creature is immune to this effect for the next 24 hours. Once the figurine has been used, it can't be used again until 15 days have passed.<br />
<br />
'''''Goat of Traveling.''''' This figurine can become a Large goat with the same statistics as a [[Riding Horse]]. It has 24 charges, and each hour or portion thereof it spends in goat form costs 1 charge. While it has charges, you can use it as often as you wish. When it runs out of charges, it reverts to a figurine and can't be used again until 7 days have passed, when it regains all expended charges.<br />
<br />
'''''Goat of Travail.''''' This figurine can become a [[Giant Goat]] for up to 3 hours. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 30 days have passed.<br />
<br />
'''''Marble Elephant (Rare).''' This marble statuette resembles a trumpeting elephant. It can become an [[Elephant]] for up to 24 hours. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 7 days have passed.<br />
<br />
'''''Obsidian Steed (Very Rare).''''' This polished obsidian horse can become a [[Nightmare]] for up to 24 hours. The nightmare fights only to defend itself. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 5 days have passed.<br />
<br />
The figurine has a 10 percent chance each time you use it to ignore your orders, including a command to revert to figurine form. If you mount the nightmare while it is ignoring your orders, you and the nightmare are instantly transported to a random location on the plane of [[Hades]], where the nightmare reverts to figurine form.<br />
<br />
'''''Onyx Dog (Rare).''''' This onyx statuette of a dog can become a [[Mastiff]] for up to 6 hours. The mastiff has an Intelligence of 8 and can speak Common. It also has [[Blindsight]] with a range of 60 feet. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 7 days have passed.<br />
<br />
'''''Serpentine Owl (Rare).''''' This serpentine statuette of an owl can become a [[Giant Owl]] for up to 8 hours. The owl can communicate telepathically with you at any range if you and it are on the same plane of existence. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 2 days have passed.<br />
<br />
'''''Silver Raven (Uncommon).''''' This silver statuette of a raven can become a [[Raven]] for up to 12 hours. Once it has been used, it can't be used again until 2 days have passed. While in raven form, the figurine grants you the ability to cast ''[[Animal Messenger]]'' on it.</div>

<hr />
<div>'''[[Yaranaika]]''' {{Ja|やらないか|yaranaika|{{lit|Won't you do it?}}}} is a campaign set in the world of Mythical East at the late 1500s. All the supernatural creatures, monsters, and magic of the Orient actually exist in this world. Some martial artists and ninjas also actually have supernatural powers. ''Ki'' (called "Focus Points" in SRD) is a very real thing. The world is somewhat manga- and anime-themed. So, player characters could be even magical girls, fallen celestials, spirits, constructs resembling humans, y&omacr;kai (supernatural entities and spirits), battle maids and butlers, faeries, and so on. In the background the history of Japan unfolds in the civil wars of the Sengoku period, with famous figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.<!--Perhaps even mongols make an appearance (yes, I know, historically their time was already over, but hey - this is fantasy!).!--><br />

Bundles of 100 copper coins are the official currency. There are also silver and gold coins, and locally minted coins. For easiness, all coins normally have the same value as standard [[Coins]]. There's also ''koku'', an unit of dry volume, about 180 litres, which was considered an amount of rice to feed one person for one year. ''Koku'' measured the magnitude of a feudal domain. A lord was considered a daimy&omacr; when his domain amounted to at least 10000 ''koku''.<ref name="swp">[https://nihonto.com/samurai-income/ Sword Prices, Origami, and Samurai Income by Markus Sesko]</ref><br />
<br />
One ''koku'' is roughly equal to 12 GP. One person's daily portion of rice costs about 3 to 5 CP - rice is expensive!<ref name="swp" /><br />

=Campaign-Specific Notes=<br />
==Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting ... Somewhat==<br />
Nearly everyone has some Martial Arts training, from little girls to old shopkeepers.<br />
<br />
BUT, martial artists do not normally fly through the air or deflect thousands of arrows with their scarf. (Well, maybe at epic levels, they do.)<br />
<br />
Think more of Miyamoto Musashi, Jackie Chan, IP Man, and Bruce Lee, rather than the superhero-level kung fu flicks. Larger than life, with a bit toned down Rule of Cool<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool TVTropes: Rule of Cool]</ref>.<br />

These characters are all at 5th level and will be used in a playtest scenario. Note that for Japanese names surname is given first.

<hr />
<div>'''[[Yaranaika]]''' {{Ja|やらないか|yaranaika|{{lit|Won't you do it?}}}} is a campaign set in the world of Mythical East at the late 1500s. All the supernatural creatures, monsters, and magic of the Orient actually exist in this world. Some martial artists and ninjas also actually have supernatural powers. ''Ki'' (called "Focus Points" in SRD) is a very real thing. The world is somewhat manga- and anime-themed. So, player characters could be even magical girls, fallen celestials, spirits, constructs resembling humans, y&omacr;kai (supernatural entities and spirits), battle maids and butlers, faeries, and so on. In the background the history of Japan unfolds in the civil wars of the Sengoku period, with famous figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.<!--Perhaps even mongols make an appearance (yes, I know, historically their time was already over, but hey - this is fantasy!).!--><br />

Bundles of 100 copper coins are the official currency. There are also silver and gold coins, and locally minted coins. For easiness, all coins normally have the same value as standard [[Coins]]. There's also ''koku'', an unit of dry volume, about 180 litres, which was considered an amount of rice to feed one person for one year. ''Koku'' measured the magnitude of a feudal domain. A lord was considered a daimy&omacr; when his domain amounted to at least 10000 ''koku''.<ref name="swp">[https://nihonto.com/samurai-income/ Sword Prices, Origami, and Samurai Income by Markus Sesko]</ref><br />

One ''koku'' is roughly equal to 12 GP. One person's daily portion of rice costs about 3 to 5 CP - rice is expensive!<ref name="swp" /><br />

<hr />
<div>'''[[Yaranaika]]''' {{Ja|やらないか|yaranaika|{{lit|Won't you do it?}}}} is a campaign set in the world of Mythical East at the late 1500s. All the supernatural creatures, monsters, and magic of the Orient actually exist in this world. Some martial artists and ninjas also actually have supernatural powers. ''Ki'' (called "Focus Points" in SRD) is a very real thing. The world is somewhat manga- and anime-themed. So, player characters could be even magical girls, fallen celestials, spirits, constructs resembling humans, y&omacr;kai (supernatural entities and spirits), battle maids and butlers, faeries, and so on. In the background the history of Japan unfolds in the civil wars of the Sengoku period, with famous figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.<!--Perhaps even mongols make an appearance (yes, I know, historically their time was already over, but hey - this is fantasy!).!--><br />

==Languages==<br />
'''NOTE: Most characters (with 3 language slots) still learn only two languages, because one language slot is required to learn reading and writing with ''kanji'''''. Common people have only one language slot and know kana letters and a few basic kanji at most. Instead of a signature, a ''hanko'' stamp is used. Only important agreements are written and signed; for most people, verbal agreements are good enough.<br />
<br />
Common language is replaced by Latin.<br />
<br />
[[Character_Creation#Choose_Languages|SRD languages are available]], but most of the inhabitants - including Y&omacr;kai - speak the local language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) as their native language.<br />
<br />
Other languages: Ainu, Okinawan, English, French, Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Urdu, Kannada, Odia, Malayam, Punjabi and over 400 others), Mongolian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and so on.<br />

<br />
You have learned the mongolian style of archery. It is most effective when mounted.<br />
<br />
'''Mongolian Draw:''' You place the arrow outside the bow (right side) instead of the usual way. You put your thumb under and wrap other finger around. This keeps the arrow in place, no matter which direction you turn your bow. A thumb ring is often used to avoid injuring your thumb.<br />

<div>'''[[Yaranaika]]''' {{Ja|やらないか|yaranaika|{{lit|Won't you do it?}}}} is a campaign set in the world of Mythical East at the late 1500s. All the supernatural creatures, monsters, and magic of the Orient actually exist in this world. Some martial artists and ninjas also actually have supernatural powers. ''Ki'' (called "Focus Points" in SRD) is a very real thing. The world is somewhat manga- and anime-themed. So, player characters could be even magical girls, fallen celestials, spirits, constructs resembling humans, y&omacr;kai (supernatural entities and spirits), battle maids and butlers, faeries, and so on. In the background the history of Japan unfolds in the civil wars of the Sengoku period, with famous figures such as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.<!--Perhaps even mongols make an appearance (yes, I know, historically their time was already over, but hey - this is fantasy!).!--><br />

==Languages==<br />
'''NOTE: Most characters (with 3 language slots) still learn only two languages, because one language slot is required to learn reading and writing with ''kanji'''''. Common people have only one language slot and know kana letters and a few basic kanji at most. Instead of a signature, a ''hanko'' stamp is used. Only important agreements are written and signed; for most people, verbal agreements are good enough.<br />
<br />
Common language is replaced by Latin.<br />
<br />
[[Character_Creation#Choose_Languages|SRD languages are available]], but most of the inhabitants - including Y&omacr;kai - speak the local language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) as their native language.<br />
<br />
Other languages: Ainu, Okinawan, English, French, Indian languages (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Urdu, Kannada, Odia, Malayam, Punjabi and over 400 others), Mongolian, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and so on.<br />

Bundles of 100 copper coins are the official currency. There are also silver and gold coins, and locally minted coins. For easiness, all coins normally have the same value as standard [[Coins]]. There's also ''koku'', an unit of dry volume, about 180 litres, which was considered an amount of rice to feed one person for one year. ''Koku'' measured the magnitude of a feudal domain. A lord was considered a daimy&omacr; when his domain amounted to at least 10000 ''koku''.<ref name="swp">[https://nihonto.com/samurai-income/ Sword Prices, Origami, and Samurai Income by Markus Sesko]</ref><br />
<br />
One ''koku'' is roughly equal to 12 GP. One person's daily portion of rice costs about 3 to 5 CP - rice is expensive!<ref name="swp" /><br />

=Campaign-Specific Notes=<br />
==Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting ... Somewhat==<br />
Nearly everyone has some Martial Arts training, from little girls to old shopkeepers.<br />
<br />
BUT, martial artists do not normally fly through the air or deflect thousands of arrows with their scarf. (Well, maybe at epic levels, they do.)<br />
<br />
Think more of Miyamoto Musashi, Jackie Chan, IP Man, and Bruce Lee, rather than the superhero-level kung fu flicks. Larger than life, with a bit toned down Rule of Cool<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfCool TVTropes: Rule of Cool]</ref>.<br />
