Dungeons & Dragons 2024 (D&D) Character: Bugs Poacher

Commander Peepis
Juandice

Background

City Secrets

You know the secret patterns and flow to cities and can find passages through the urban sprawl that others would miss. When you are not in combat, you (and companions you lead) can travel between any two locations in the city twice as fast as your speed would normally allow.

Species

Darkvision

You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern colour in darkness, only shades of grey.

Deft Climber

You have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed.

Bite

You have a maw of sharp teeth that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with it, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Scavenger

You have advantage on saving throws against disease and poison, and you have resistance to poison damage.

Play Dead

When you take damage that reduces you to half your hit point maximum or lower, you can use your reaction to play dead, lowering your heart rate and relaxing your muscles as you fall prone For the next hour, or until you use your bonus action to end the effect early, a creature that spares you a casual sees only a corpse. A creature that uses its action while within 5 feet of you to make an Intelligence (Investigation) check contested by your Constitution (Deception) check sees through the trick on a success.
After you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Class

Font of Inspiration

You now regain all your expended uses of Bardic Inspiration when you finish a Short or Long Rest.
In addition, you can expend a spell slot (no action required) to regain one expended use of Bardic Inspiration.

Countercharm

You can use musical notes or words of power to disrupt mind-influencing effects. If you or a creature within 30 feet of you fails a saving throw against an effect that applies the Charmed or Frightened condition, you can take a Reaction to cause the save to be rerolled, and the new roll has Advantage.

Subclass

Poetry in Misery

You learn to harness the beauty in failure, finding inspiration in even the direst twists of fate. Whenever you or an ally within 30 feet of you rolls a 1 on the d20 for an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to soliloquize and regain one expended use of your Bardic Inspiration feature.

Sorrowful Fate

You exploit a foe’s peril to instill deep feelings of sorrow and doom. When you or an ally you can see forces a creature to make a saving throw, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to change the type of saving throw to a Charisma save instead.
If the target fails this save, roll a Bardic Inspiration die. The target takes psychic damage equal to the result, and is plagued with regret for 1 minute. If the target is reduced to 0 hit points during this time and can speak, they are magically compelled to utter darkly poetic final words before succumbing to their injuries.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Tale of Hubris

You learn to weave a magical narrative that draws out the fatal arrogance of your foes. When a creature scores a critical hit against you or an ally within 60 feet of you that you can see, you can use your reaction and expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to target the attacking creature and evoke the story of their downfall. For 1 minute or until the target suffers a critical hit, any weapon attack against the target scores a critical hit on a roll of 18–20.

Unstoppable

Your words can twist the power of fate to create triumph from the promise of future despair. When you make an attack roll or a saving throw, you can gain a +10 bonus to the roll, but the next attack roll or saving throw you make takes a −10 penalty. If not used, this penalty disappears when you finish a short or long rest.
You can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest, or until you are reduced to 0 hit points.

Auxiliary Level

Taunt

You can use your bonus action to mock a creature within 15 feet of you. If the target can hear you and it understands at least one language, it has disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes against a creature other than you before the end of its next turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

I Meant To Do That

When you roll a 10 or lower on the d20 roll for an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
