A beloved, a nation, a cause—anything may be the object of your Devotion, but very few are worthy of it.

The world lore continues to evolve at a very rapid pace… New lore added for Silyōna (Heavens), Nülda (The Pit), The Dreaming (the Fey Mirror), and The Bleak Gate (the Wraith Mirror).

The distant ruler who banished you until you redeem yourself; the Archfey that deemed Alyria too weak and exiled her. Memento. A piece of jewelry given to Alyria by someone she will never see again; a simple ring made of wood that a friend crafted to him, before he disappeared into the Dreaming. Destiny: SOURCE OF INSPIRATION Unburdening. In order to be accepted back into the Dreaming, Alyria needs to transform into an archfey and surpass the one currently ruling. She gains inspiration whenever she makes sacrifices to attain new lore, contacts, or items that can aid her transformation. INSPIRATION FEATURE Unearthly Diplomacy. Alyria's unearthly aspirations grants her insights into the minds of even utterly alien beings. As an action, she may spend her inspiration to form a connection with a non-humanoid creature she can see that has a CR equal to or less than her level. She communicate freely, even if they do not share a language or the creature would be normally unable to speak. She has no control over a creature she connects with in this way but she gains an expertise die on checks made to influence it. The knowledge and awareness of a creature is limited by its intellect or perceptions, but most give her information about nearby locations, monsters in the area, and knowledge of whatever it perceived within the past day. This connection lasts for up to 1 hour or until she uses an action to end it. FULLFILLMENT FEATURE Forever Changed. When you gain this feature, consult with the Narrator about the exact nature of your metamorphosis and if your adventurer would still choose to remain adventuring after transformation. If your character would remain an adventurer, you may choose and become an appropriate creature with a CR equal to or lower than your class level –2 (as per the spell true polymorph, except that this transformation is permanent and cannot be dispelled.) If your character would not remain an adventurer, you may use a portion of your new power however you see fit (as the wish spell) before ascending.

COMBAT Action Bonus Action Reaction ATTACKS Rapier +4 to hit; reach 5 ft; one target; 6 (1d8+2) piercing damage. Parrying. This weapon is designed to be used with a light shield. When Cenya makes an attack with this weapon and is using a light shield she can use a bonus action to either make an attack with her shield or increase her Armor Class by 1 until the start of her next turn. Finesse. Cenya may choose to use your Dexterity modifier for attack and damage rolls made with this weapon (included). SPELLCASTING Caster Level 1 | Spell Casting Ability Wisdom | Spell Save DC 13 | Spell Attack +5 (V, S, M). The target may gain an expertise die to one ability check of its choice, ending the spell. The expertise die can be rolled before or after the ability check is made. (30 ft, V, S). You call upon your mastery of nature to produce one of the following effects within range: You create a minor, harmless sensory effect that lasts for 1 round and predicts the next 24 hours of weather in your current location. For example, the effect might create a miniature thunderhead if storms are predicted. You instantly make a plant feature develop, but never to produce Supply. For example, you can cause a flower to bloom or a seed pod to open. You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect such as the sound of running water, birdsong, or the smell of mulch. The effect must fit in a 5-foot cube. You instantly ignite or extinguish a candle, torch, smoking pipe, or small campfire. (60 ft, V, S). A stinking bubble of acid is conjured out of thin air to fly at the targets, dealing 1d6 acid damage. Dexterity negates. This spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6). (Self, V, S, 10 minutes). You create a flame in your hand which lasts until the spell ends and does no harm to you or your equipment. The flame sheds in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. The spell ends when you dismiss it, cast it again, or attack with the flame. As part of casting the spell or as an action on a following turn, you can fling the flame at a creature within 30 feet, making a ranged spell attack that deals 1d8 fire damage. This spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8). (2 Slots) 4 spells prepared (V, S). Constraining plants erupt from the ground in the spell’s area, wrapping vines and tendrils around creatures. Until the spell ends, the area is . A creature in the area when you cast the spell makes a Strength or it becomes as the plants wrap around it. A creature restrained in this way can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC, freeing itself on a success. When the spell ends, the plants wither away. (V). Healing energy washes over the target and it regains hit points equal to 1d4 + your spellcasting modifier. (S, M). The creature is immediately and beautifully groomed, as if it had been lovingly attended to by a group of no less than 4 highly-skilled servants. Its clothing (if it has any) will be spotlessly clean with any minor damage mended and, at the creature’s option, it may also be festooned with ribbons, be perfumed, and have makeup, face paint, or body paint applied. If the creature desires, its hair, beard, fur, and/or feathers can be styled or cut by this spell. This spell can only provide the most basic of accessories, such as ribbons, simple hair pins, and the like, which disappear in 8 hours. The creature gains an expertise die on all non-combat related Charisma (Persuasion) and Charisma (Performance) checks for the next 8 hours. The Narrator may declare this effect ends early if the creature is in a grueling fight, caught in severe weather, or endures any other that may compromise the grooming. A truly unwilling creature can resist the spell, but few do; the experience is very pleasant and tailored to the target’s wishes and aesthetics, not the caster’s. (V, S, ritual). You call upon the secret lore of beasts and gain the ability to speak with them. Beasts have a different perspective of the world, and their knowledge and awareness is filtered through that perspective. At a minimum, beasts can tell you about nearby locations and monsters, including things they have recently perceived. At the Narrator’s discretion, you might be able to persuade a beast to perform a small favor for you. BARDIC INSPIRATION FEATS & FEATURES Fey Logic. Alyria appears tiny, but interacts with the world as if she is was small. The Power of Words. If Alyria promises something to a creature, that creature intuitively senses that it can use a reaction to compel her to fulfill a promise she made to them as though they had cast . The DC to resist this is 10. Succeeding the save represents her devising a way to wiggle out of the promise. A given creature can only levy one such obligation per day. Once she is 3rd level, she can cast once per , but only on a creature that has agreed to the stated course of action in word or text. Your ability for this spell is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (whichever is highest). Aversion. Alyria cannot willingly touch cats, come within 5 feet of them, or even use tools to manipulate them. She can attempt a DC 20 Wisdom to ignore her aversion towards a particular cat — and anything similar within 30 feet of it — for one hour. If she fails, her turn ends and she cannot try to ignore that particular aversion for a day. However, if she or an ally is attacked in any way by a cat, she can freely ignore the repellant effect as though she had succeeded on her saving throw. Flight. Alyria has a fly speed of 30 feet as long as she is no more than 10 feet off the ground. To use this speed, she can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor. Additionally, if she attempts to go higher, or if she has spent 3 full consecutive rounds flying, on her next turn she instead falls safely for 30 feet or until she touches the ground. All falling damage beyond 30 feet (if she exceeded her height restriction by flying over a cliff, for instance) is still calculated. Nature Skin. Most of her from are plant material that attacks simply whiff through. Her AC is 13 + her Dexterity modifier when she isn't wearing armor. She can use a shield and gain this benefit. EXPLORATION Knack for the Unexpected. Once per short rest you can add an expertise die (+1d4) to a skill check you’re not proficient in. Home on the Range. Alyria can move normally through non-magical in Feywood. Additionally, she gains an on Nature checks in Feywood. Nature Provides. In nearly any natural landscape, Alyria does not require Supply each day of a journey. She can always find just enough food and drink to sustain her, so her only real concern is dying of boredom. This benefit can never provide Supply for others. Likewise, once per day she can turn a rock, plant, or animal part into a mundane piece of survival gear or a tool kit worth up to 10 gold pieces, though this does not grant proficiency with the tool kit. It reverts to its original form after 24 hours or 10 minutes after the item leaves her possession, whichever comes first. She cannot produce Supply using this trait and must still provide the raw materials to craft an item. Feature: Fellow Traveler. You gain an on Persuasion checks against others who are away from their land of birth. Adventures and Advancement. You may occasionally meet others from your native land. Some may be friends, and some dire enemies; few will be indifferent to you. After a few such encounters, you may become the leader of a faction of exiles. Your followers include up to three NPCs of Challenge Rating ½ or less, such as . AQUATIC DELVER You are at home in the depths, able to control your breathing and attune to the subtle movements of the water. You gain a swimming speed equal to your Speed and you add your Wisdom modifier to the number of minutes you can hold your breath before suffocating. In addition, while fully submerged in water you gain blindsight out to a range of 10 feet. MOUNTAIN CLIMBER You gain a climbing speed equal to your Speed. You gain an expertise die on any Athletics checks made while climbing and you are also acclimated to high altitudes, including elevations above 20,000 feet. In addition, you ignore the effects of roughing it imposed by resting in rocky or uneven terrain. SOCIAL APPEARANCE BACKSTORY ALLIES & ORGANIZATIONS FOLLOWERS & STRONGHOLDS

New lore added on The Sundering and the fall of the elven kingdom.

Fixed! Level 1 is both one of my favourite and least favourite levels. I like low levels because they feel a little more grounded and real, but also there are fewer options both for things like background and for mechanics, but its still a lot of fun.

Information on the Ostinad horse lords has been updated on the "Lands of Elissar" page.

Common, Gnomish, and Undercommon CLASS & ARCHETYPE Familiar Terrain. At 1st level, Kulfer is particularly adept at traveling and surviving in natural environments. When making an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to any natural terrain, Kulfer gains an expertise die if using a skill you're proficient in. While traveling in any natural terrain, Kulfer gains the following benefits: Difficult terrain doesn’t slow your group’s travel. Your group can’t become lost except by magical means. Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling you remain alert to danger. Your passive Perception increases by 2. If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace. When you Hunt and Gather, you find twice as much Supply as you normally would. While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area. Studied Adversary. Kulfer has significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even communicating with your enemies. Choose a type of adversary: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively, Kulfer can select two humanoid heritages (such as gnolls and orcs) as studied adversaries. Kulfer has advantage on Survival checks to track his studied adversaries, as well as on ability checks to recall information about them. Kulfer also learns to communicate with basic words in a language of his choice that is spoken by his studied adversaries, if they speak one at all. During a long rest, Kulfer can replace a current studied adversary with a new one. Exploration Knacks. For a ranger exploration isn't just something that happens between destinations—it’s a way of life. Kulfer starts with two ranger exploration knacks of your choice. His exploration knacks are detailed at the end of the class description. The Knacks Known column of the Ranger table shows when you learn more exploration knacks. Beast Friend. If Kulfer spends 10 minutes befriending and feeding a Medium or smaller beast of CR 1/8 or less, Kulfer becomes its guardian ranger. It follows Kulfer and is loyal to him, but it acts independently. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. The beast won’t attack except as a reaction to being attacked, but it can take other actions as normal and makes death saving throws. Kulfer can only be a guardian ranger to one beast at a time. Calls of the Wild. Using verbal and nonverbal cues to communicate with beasts, Kulfer can gain basic information from them or make a simple request (like delivering a short message or small object). www.levelup5e.com EQUIPMENT CARRYING CAPACITY Str x15 = 150 lbs.

(Since Kulfer's arrival from the Darkland over a decade ago, he has lived among the villagers of Holdenshire.) Kulfer understand their customs, traditions, religion, political ties, and to some extent how they think. He is regarded as an expert in this culture and can usually recall some useful detail when he and his companions face a challenge involving this culture. DESTINY: UNDERDOG Lost: Kulfer's safe home is far gone and Kulfer is making the best of the here and now. Kulfer fulfills his destiny when he finally overcomes the odds at a nearly unattainable and grand task, complete a supposedly impossible quest, defeat an insurmountable foe, succeed at a dire endeavor where failure was all but guaranteed. SOURCE OF INSPIRATION Source of Inspiration: Defiance. Kulfer draws inspiration from striking out against oppression, defying long odds, and placing hope in the impossible. Kulfer gains inspiration whenever he scores a critical hit against a creature larger than he is, roll a natural 20 on a death saving throw, openly defy a powerful being, or succeed after taking a risk with long odds. FULLFILLMENT FEATURE Fulfillment Feature: Expendable and Invulnerable. While being kicked around and batted from adventure to adventure, somehow Kulfer always seems to scramble out of the rubble. Whenever Kulfer would make a saving throw he may spend your inspiration to automatically succeed instead. INSPIRATION FEATURE Inspiration Feature: A Nose for Trouble. Get kicked around long enough and Kulfer starts to know when trouble’s brewing. Whenever Kulfer or an ally you can see fails an Insight check, he can use his reaction to spend his inspiration and learn any information that would have been gained by a successful Insight check.

SPELLCASTING Caster Level 1 | Spell Casting Ability Wisdom | Spell Save DC 11 | Spell Attack +3 CANTRIPS Minor Illusion (S, M tinderbox & small mirror). For one minute, this spell creates a sound or image of an object. The illusion disappears if dismissed or Kulfer casts the spell again. Kulfer may create any sound his choose, ranging in volume from a whisper to a scream. He may choose one sound for the duration or change them at varying points before the spell ends. Sounds are audible outside the spell’s area. Visual illusions may replicate any image and remain within the spell’s area, but cannot create sound, light, smell, or other sensory effects. The image is revealed as an illusion with any physical interaction as physical objects and creatures pass through it. An Investigation check against his spell save DC also reveals the image is an illusion. When a creature realizes the image is an illusion, the effects become fainter for that creature. 1ST-LEVEL (once per long rest) Disguise Self (V, S).

He cannot disguise himself as a creature of a different size category, and his limb structure remains the same; for example he can’t use this spell to appear as a quadruped.

APPEARANCE Kulfer Undernight is a grim gray-skinned gnome who talks to his dog way too much, his constant companion and mount, a charcoal-colored mastiff who answers to Thorn. As an assistant ranger for Holdenshire, he travels throughout the shire keeping tabs on known predators and looking for new threats. He makes coins along the way selling game and valuable roots and herbs to the villagers. The coins, he spends on maintaining his gear and entertainment, like smoking his favorite pipe. While having had several impossible situations which have made him look like a monster in Holdenshire, Kulfer has overcome each one proving over and over again that he means well in the shire. The true villains, who took advantage of Kulfer's otherness, have been revealed and punished over the years. While he currently enjoys being in the relatively good graces of Holdenshire with the title of assistant ranger, he is constantly looking for the next time that he will be thrown into the fire. And, he is certain that there will be a next time. BACKSTORY Kulfer has never had it easy. Born in a deep gnome city in the Darkland into an orphanage and poverty. He struggled through his childhood and eventually joined the scouting teams which patrolled his home's frontier in the capacity affectionately known as bait. He survived by bringing food which was much more appetizing to the monsters than Kulfer was and bought him enough time for the veteran scouts to arrive and kill or capture the trespassing creature. Surviving long enough, he graduated to become a junior scout, which he served for about a year until he was framed. His veteran scout partner had been acting weird for awhile, so Kulfer eventually started following him. He discovered that his partner was in leagues with drow slavers but was not careful enough to avoid alerting his partner. So, Kulfer was maneuvered into being caught with a bloody sword standing above the corpse of a fellow scout. His partner who had orchestrated the murder had an airtight alibi, so Kulfer ran. Without any obvious direction, apart from away from his home city, he followed his nose and tattooed his trip in a winding design on his legs. Impossibly, he discovered a way through the Badlands to the surface over a decade ago. Fortunately, Kulfer was found by Brand Torek, an assistant ranger of Holdenshire, who introduced into the community. Over that decade, Kulfer has become an assistant ranger to Brand who has since become the ranger of Holdenshire while earning coins hunting and foraging for rare herbs. ALLIES & ORGANIZATIONS Brand Torek, ranger of Holdenshire FOLLOWERS & STRONGHOLDS Thorn Type Mastiff Abilities Speed 40 ft, AC 12, HP 9.

At least you have a few more choices in A5e than o5e. lol Thanks for the application. Good luck in final selection. Oh and her name isn't in the application, still says NAME.

Thanks for the application. I adjusted the token size and position for you in the posting template (double click on a picture to bring up the editor to size and float it). It also looks like you might benefit from using the clone function to copy another post which keeps all the formatting. Application looks good, all the pieces are there. I have marked him as completed. Good luck in final selection.

Will the dice gods bless this character?

And i think we're done. Always dread level 1 characters lol

And my character's done, so far. Let me know if I need to change and/or fix anything.

Ok, I finished writing up the info on the handful of powerful Valya that are worshipped in the area. You can find them in the Worshipped Valya section of the Cosmos of Elissar tab.

You are totally right. 🤦‍♂️ I added the missing archetype feature.

Thanks for the application. I don't see the "Possible Talent" ability listed for him? Other than that, everything looks good. I have marked them as completed. Good luck in final selection.

I think the character is complete.

I have extended the application deadline until May 14th, as I will be out of town on vacation from May 5th - 13th, so that will give everyone an extra week to get their applications in.

Thanks for the application. I have marked him as completed. Good luck in final selection.

Alright, basic set up done, mechanics done. Aside from maybe fleshing out backstory, should be good to go.
