Racial features:
Bite. Your bite is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Darkvision. Being moderately nocturnal, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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 color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Ferocious. You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Scavenger. You can safely consume raw or rotten food and have advantage on saving throws against disease and ingested poisons.

Rampage. Immediately after you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack on your turn, you can use a bonus action to move up to half of your speed and make an additional attack with your bite or with a melee weapon.

Class features:
Druidic:
You know Druidic, the secret language of druids.

Wild Shape
As an action, you can magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before twice per short rest.

You can stay in beast shape for 1 hours before reverting back to your normal form (or as a bonus action earlier or if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die).

1 action.
Duration: Half Druid Level/Down
Uses: ○○ /short rest

Max CR 1/4 - No flying or swimming

Druidic Circle features: Spore

Halo of Spores:
You are surrounded by invisible, necrotic spores that are harmless until you unleash them on a creature nearby. When a creature you can see moves into a space within 10 feet of you or starts its turn there, you can use your reaction to deal 1d4 necrotic damage to that creature unless it succeeds on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. The necrotic damage increases to 1d6 at 6th level, 1d8 at 10th level, and 1d10 at 14th level.
Halo of Spores: 1 Reaction

Symbiotic Entity:
You gain the ability to channel magic into your spores. As an action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to awaken those spores, rather than transforming into a beast form, and you gain 4 temporary hit points for each level you have in this class. While this feature is active, you gain the following benefits:
- When you deal your Halo of Spores damage, roll the damage die a second time and add it to the total.
- Your melee weapon attacks deal an extra 1d6 necrotic damage to any target they hit.
These benefits last for 10 minutes, until you lose all these temporary hit points, or until you use your Wild Shape again.

Background features:
Wanderer: You have an excellent memory for maps and geography, and you can always recall the general layout of terrain, settlements, and other features around you. In addition, you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.

Casting Time:1 action
Range/Area:120ft.
Components:V, S
Duration:1 round

You create a ghostly, skeletal hand in the space of a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the creature to assail it with the chill of the grave. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage, and it can't regain hit points until the start of your next turn. Until then, the hand clings to the target.

Casting Time:1 action
Range/Area:30ft.
Components:V, S
Duration:Instantaneous

Whispering to the spirits of nature, you create one of the following effects within range:

You create a tiny, harmless sensory effect that predicts what the weather will be at your location for the next 24 hours. The effect might manifest as a golden orb for clear skies, a cloud for rain, falling snowflakes for snow, and so on. This effect persists for 1 round.

You instantly make a flower blossom, a seed pod open, or a leaf bud bloom.

You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as falling leaves, a puff of wind, the sound of a small animal, or the faint odor of skunk. The effect must fit in a 5-foot cube.

You instantly light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
Casting Time:1 action
Range/Area:Self
Components:S
Duration:Instantaneous

You channel primal magic to cause your teeth or fingernails to sharpen, ready to deliver a corrosive attack. Make a melee spell attack against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 acid damage. After you make the attack, your teeth or fingernails return to normal.

The spell’s damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).

Prepared Spells

1st Level

Casting Time:1 reaction, which you take when you take acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage
Range/Area:Self
Components:S
Duration:1 round

The spell captures some of the incoming energy, lessening its effect on you and storing it for your next melee attack. You have resistance to the triggering damage type until the start of your next turn. Also, the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next turn, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type, and the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.

Casting Time:1 action
Range/Area:Touch
Components:V, S
Duration:Instantaneous

A creature you touch regains a number of hit points equal to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the healing increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.

Casting Time:1 action
Range/Area:60ft./5ft.
Components:S, M(a drop of water or a piece of ice)
Duration:Instantaneous
Attack/SaveEX 13

You create a shard of ice and fling it at one creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 piercing damage. Hit or miss, the shard then explodes. The target and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 cold damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the cold damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.

2nd Level

Casting Time:1 action
Range/Area:30ft.
Components:V
Duration:1 minute
Attack/Save:CON 13

You can blind or deafen a foe. Choose one creature that you can see within range to make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, the target is either blinded or deafened (your choice) for the duration. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 2nd

Casting Time:1 action
Range/Area:Touch
Components:V, S, M(a pinch of salt and one copper piece placed on each of the corpse's eyes, which must remain there for the duration)
Duration:10 days

You touch a corpse or other remains. For the duration, the target is protected from decay and can't become undead.
The spell also effectively extends the time limit on raising the target from the dead, since days spent under the influence of this spell don't count against the time limit of spells such as raise dead.

Casting Time:1 bonus action
Range/Area:60ft./5ft.
Components:V, S
Duration:Concentration, up to 1 minute

You call forth a nature spirit to soothe the wounded. The intangible spirit appears in a space that is a 5-foot cube you can see within range. The spirit looks like a transparent beast or fey (your choice).
Until the spell ends, whenever you or a creature you can see moves into the spirit’s space for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, you can cause the spirit to restore 1d6 hit points to that creature (no action required). The spirit can’t heal constructs or undead. The spirit can heal a number of times equal to 1 + your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of twice). After healing that number of times, the spirit disappears.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the spirit up to 30 feet to a space you can see.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the healing increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.

Casting Time:1 action
Range/Area:Touch
Components:V, S
Duration:Instantaneous

You touch a creature and can end either one disease or one condition afflicting it. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned

Casting Time:1 action
Range/Area:150ft./20ft.
Components:V, S, M(seven sharp thorns or seven small twigs, each sharpened to a point)
Duration:Concentration, up to 10 minutes

The ground in a 20-foot radius centered on a point within range twists and sprouts hard spikes and thorns. The area becomes difficult terrain for the duration. When a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 2d4 piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels.
The transformation of the ground is camouflaged to look natural. Any creature that can't see the area at the time the spell is cast must make a Wisdom (Perception) check against your spell save DC to recognize the terrain as hazardous before entering it.
Age: Young Adult | Height: 6'1" | Weight: 180lbs
Eyes: Brown | Fur: Brown

Appearance:

Pitch: Snappy and Forceful Witch Doctor

Personality traits:
I detest being unclean.

I am always hungry. I take every opportunity to enjoy a meal.

I think ruthless violence is a great
suggestion in any discussion.

I'm only irritable because I care.

I refuse to let myself by judged by my age and inexperience.

Ideals:
Glory. For the wellbeing of my tribe, I must prove my worth. And bring back the trophies to prove it.

Nature does not need protecting. Exploit it if you believe you have the strength to do so. Destroy it, if you think you can. But always respect it, for it will win in the end.

Bonds:
It is my duty to provide children to sustain my tribe.

As a Witch Doctor, it is my duty to aid the sick whether I (or they) like it or not.

Flaws:
Coming from the wilds, the ways of the civilized world are exotic and alien to me.

Integrities:
I pity my friends who lack fur and strong teeth. I worry they can't stay warm or chew their food. Not to mention their weak stomachs...

I am the daughter of the greatest Chieftan, my mother the greatest Shaman, and I shall make them proud.

Backstory:
Even as a pup I was stubborn. Even as my body destroyed itself. I was sick, you see, deathly so. From birth I had this malady, and from birth I fought it with every duber of my being. Fighting tooth and nail to will myself to live another year.

I was the first born daughter of the Packlord, my father. I was the first born daughter of the my clans Shaman, my mother. Both were great and powerful, and neither of whom I would shame by complaining about my affliction. And neither would I blame. Especially as both did everything they could to find a solution.

It wasn't until I became three, however, that a light of hope actually surfaced. There was a meeting of Archdruids, they agreed to see me as a favor to my mother. And see me they did. It would have taken great magic to fix me, more than what they were capable of, but they had a way. I had to become like them. Like my mother. A path that was not to be taken lightly. For it was neither easy or guaranteed. There was a chance... so I wasn't about to be swayed from my decision to accept.

The ritual began under the full moon. Of which I was then cast into the Everbloom. A special Grove within the Feywild where many different spirits of nature lived and dominated. I would be stuck there for a year... to live or die. Should the spirits be favorable, should my will to live be strong, and should the stars align, then I would be accepted into this path. I could survive one more year.

And I did.

The Everbloom was a scary place. But it was here I became one with nature and its spirits. It was here that I changed.

I was too weak to find the sun. To weak to hunt for animals or fruits. I was tugged into my calling, amongst the damp undergrowth. Into the caves and into hollow fallen trees. Where the constant presence of death reminded me of my eventual fate. What should have frightened me, I instead found soothing. For even in the decay of the rotten foliage, life thrived. Death gave way to more life. And even what I thought was dead often managed to find the tenacity to live on. So it was among this world I made my home for the year. And I became apart of it as much as it became a part of me. The spirits, they had shown their mercy on me.

Something took root in my body. And as the year drew to a close, I could feel power. I could feel life. Nature adopted me as one of its own, and gave me new life.

But the year in the Everbloom was only the first step. As I was drawn from it, I was a new gnoll, and my training would now begin. Even though I had this second life, if I did not master it, it would most certainly consume me... as if there was any question that I would not tame it. This symbiotic relationship I now shared with the fungus, I would make it work for me as much as I worked for it.

I was given tutelage under a fey named Tresmoira. I was her apprentice for several years. She taught me druidic ways and how to focus my powers. She taught me wisdom, and how to heal. I may have been a bit of an obstinate and unruly student, but I refused to be anything but promising.

These years went by too fast, and the time was coming that I would need to go out on my own. To find a path of my own and temper myself outside of our lands. A test. A learning experience. To spread my wings and see what I can do. To see what I would do.

Gnolls were never meant to be alone. A year in the Everbloom was maddening enough, but I did not know how long I would be gone this time. To say goodbye to my clan was hard, but I did. The world understands were not a fan of gnolls.

I let the spirits guide me from here. And they lead me to mountains. Cold snowy mountains... and farms. This was a good a place as any to begin.

Class features:

Unarmored Defense: Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Martial Arts: Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons, which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don't have the two-handed or heavy property. You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield:
- You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
- You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels (5th level: d6, 11th level: d8, 17th level: d10).
- When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.
Ki: 3/3 Ki Points
When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points. Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. Ki Save DC = 13 (8 + proficiency bonus + WIS mod)
- Flurry of Blows: Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action.
- Patient Defense: You can spend 1 ki point to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.
- Step of the Wind: You can spend 1 ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.
Unarmored Movement: Your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain monk levels (6th level: +15ft., 10th level: +20ft., 15th level: +25ft., 18th level: +30ft.).

Deflect Missiles: You can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack (range 20/60 feet) with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack.

Monastic Tradition features:

Disciple of the Elements:
- Elemental Attunement: You can use your action to briefly control elemental forces within 30 feet of you, causing one of the following effects of your choice:
  -- Create a harmless, instantaneous sensory effect related to air, earth, fire, or water, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, a spray of light mist, or a gentle rumbling of stone.
  -- Instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
  -- Chill or warm up to 1 pound of nonliving material for up to 1 hour.
  -- Cause earth, fire, water, or mist that can fit within a 1-foot cube to shape itself into a crude form you designate for 1 minute.
- Water Whip: You can spend 2 ki points as an action to create a whip of water that shoves and pulls a creature to unbalance it. A creature that you can see that is within 30 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d10 bludgeoning damage, plus an extra 1d10 bludgeoning damage for each additional ki point you spend, and you can either knock it prone or pull it up to 25 feet closer to you. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage, and you don't pull it or knock it prone.
Casting Elemental Spells: Some elemental disciplines allow you to cast spells. To cast one of these spells, you use its casting time and other rules, but you don't need to provide material components for it. Once you reach 5th level in this class, you can spend additional ki points to increase the level of an elemental discipline spell that you cast, provided that the spell has an enhanced effect at a higher level. The spell's level increases by 1 for each additional ki point you spend. The maximum number of ki points you can spend to cast a spell in this way (including its base ki point cost and any additional ki points you spend to increase its level) is determined by your monk level (5th level: 3, 9th level: 4, 13th level: 5, 17th level: 6).

Background features:

By Popular Demand: You can always find a place to perform in any place that features combat for entertainment—perhaps a gladiatorial arena or secret pit fighting club. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you.

Feats:

Magic Initiate: You learn two cantrips of your choice from the Druid spell list. In addition, you learn one 1st-level spell from that same list and can cast it at its lowest level. Once you cast it, you must finish a long rest before you can cast it again using this feat. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is Wisdom.

Backstory:

Short version: Finne comes from a family of basket weavers. Due to financial straits, she tried to make money in a pit fighting club. The pit owner ended up training her, until her elemental abilities caused a scandal and she left the place.

Finne comes from a family of traveling basket weavers who settled down in a small town after her mother, Yinthe Sumber, lost part of her eyesight and much of her constitution to an illness. Her father, Bent Sumber, continued to travel to sell the goods Finne's mother and the older children crafted while he was away. This made the larger part of the family's income dependent on the situation of the roads, and thus unstable.

The autumn Finne had turned 16, her father took so long to return the family began to worry he might never return - at least not before winter made many of the roads impassable. As her older sister Imma had married and moved out, Finne decided to take the matter into her own hands, as the oldest child remaining. She'd take the baskets they'd made so far and sell them in the next large city before the first snows.

A run-in with an ill-tempered noble or rich merchant (Finne wouldn't know which) resulted in part of her baskets "bought" below value and the rest destroyed under the wheels of said noble's carriage. The little coin Finne got out of it was by far not enough to see her family through if her father didn't return in time, so she was desperate to find a way to make money before she was herself cut off from home by the weather.

Finne soon found lucrative and morally upstanding jobs were hard to come by, and when she stumbled across an inn running a half-secret (and half-legal) pit fighting club in the basement of a cheap inn, she grasped the nettle and entered as a contestant, betting her money against herself. The fight went mostly as could be expected, though Finne's survival instincts kicked in in the ring, and to her own surprise, she managed to land a blow or two herself before she was knocked out.

The owner of the pit, however, a half-orc named Keth who was also running the inn and the bets, was impressed by Finne's ploy and apparent fierceness, and sensing a chance to attract business through a promising newcomer, he offered to take her under his wing and train her. She'd work at the inn to cover her expenses, but any money she'd win in fights would be hers. With her father's whereabouts still unknown, Finne decided that this was the most promising way to support her family she had and accepted.

In the following years, Keth trained her in martial arts, and surprisingly enough, meditation. He alluded to having had an accomplished master himself, but not the patience to follow the codes imposed on him. Finne learned to attune her mind to her inner strength and flow of life around her, and with that edge, quickly gained some renown in the underground fighting scene and the stage name of "Tempestweaver". She kept her occupation secret, however, writing to her parents (her father did return safe and sound eventually) that the money she sent them was from employment as a musician.

However, when she tapped into her powers during one fight, she unleashed an ability she hadn't known she had thus far and sent her opponent flying with a string of water. As the pit had a strict "no magic" policy, this caused quite the scandal, and Finne had to leave, at least until Keth would be able to put oil on troubled waters and animosities had cooled down. Since she still felt she had to support her family and also didn't want to reveal her history to them by going home, Finne decided to travel instead and see if she could make money elsewhere - either through her old or her new skills.

Age: 27
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 192lbs

Appearance
Carl has a messy crop of black hair and a scruffy beard. Scars adorn his face and other parts of his muscled body.

Personality Traits
He's ready to fire off a quip in almost any situation, including those that are inappropriate.

Loves a good insult, even those directed at him--most of the time; even he may have cracks in the armor.

In his mind, those who seem the fairest often have the most to hide.

He can stare down a hellhound without flinching.

Ideals
Life isn't worth living if one isn't getting dirty from time to time.

Bonds
The last exchange with his mentor has stuck with him. When the memory grates, or someone calls him out on his irresponsibility or less-than-stellar character, it often compels him to do something upstanding, to offset the feeling that he really is trash.

He has a kid who doesn't know him, and he would rather keep it that way.

Flaws
Alas, he doesn't speak Orc.

Domesticated animals tend to dislike him. He doesn't really know why. (Penalty to animal handling, maybe?)

Has a weakness for the vices of the city.

A scandal prevents him from returning home. That kind of trouble seems to follow him around.

Might make the wrong decision even when he knows it's a bad idea...

Integrities
Life should never be taken too seriously. He never wants it to get under his skin.

Risks can have great payoffs...and can sometimes be the cure for boredom.

Background
Soldier

Backstory
When the villagers found the baby, apparently abandoned, crying on the outskirts, well, some of them didn't quite no what to do. Adopting a half-orc seemed like trouble, but a blacksmith couple decided to take him in as their own alongside the other son they had.

There might have been reason to worry about trouble. Rowdiness and mischief were as much a part of his childhood as the crops and the chores: throwing cow piles at Mr. Odendirk's house, sneaking out at night, nicking from Ms. Windpetal's clothesline to dress a scarecrow, getting into scraps with other boys because they wanted to challenge the half-orc. These were just a few of the things he got tangled in.

At 17, monsters attacked. He pitched in to defend the village. It sparked an interest and it almost seemed as though he was shaping up, but then he might have gotten the reeve's son drunk, locked him in the stockade, and bare-assed him. In his defense, not many liked the son and Carl might have had a little help from one of the guards, but it was solely him who took the fall, not only with the village, but with that humble blacksmith couple, too. Enough was enough. They told him to leave.

So he left and never went back. He found his way into a mercenary company. He got close to its leader--real close, for a couple of years, until it petered out on its own. But the man was also a mentor to the half-orc and taught him how to fight tactically. Somehow, those years saw his best behavior, too, not that he was a saint by any stretch of the imagination, nor was he free from making questionable life choices. One involved having a fling with a lady in a city they were visiting. He accidentally got her pregnant. He decided to flee than to assume the responsibility that the lady expected of him, losing the respect of his then-leader in the process.

That was about four years ago. He's tried to recreate the same magic with other groups or work partners, and it has been mostly unsuccessful. Maybe the next attempt will be a winner.
