ROGUE CLASS ABILITIES
Expertise | Sneak Attack (3d6) | Thieves' Cant | Cunning ActionSteady AimAt 3rd level, as a bonus action, you give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this bonus action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.

Uncanny DodgeStarting at 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's damage against you. | Psionic Power (6d8)Starting at 3rd level, you harbor a wellspring of psionic energy within yourself. This energy is represented by your Psionic Energy dice, which are each a d6. You have a number of these dice equal to twice your proficiency bonus, and they fuel various psionic powers you have, which are detailed below.

Some of your powers expend the Psionic Energy die they use, as specified in a power's description, and you can't use a power if it requires you to use a die when your dice are all expended. You regain all your expended Psionic Energy dice when you finish a long rest. In addition, as a bonus action, you can regain one expended Psionic Energy die, but you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

When you reach certain levels in this class, the size of your Psionic Energy dice increases: at 5th level (d8), 11th level (d10), and 17th level (d12).

The powers below use your Psionic Energy dice.
| Psi Bolstered KnackWhen your nonpsionic training fails you, your psionic power can help: if you fail an ability check using a skill or tool with which you have proficiency, you can roll one Psionic Energy die and add the number rolled to the check, potentially turning failure into success. You expend the die only if the roll succeeds. | Psychic WhispersYou can establish telepathic communication between yourself and others — perfect for quiet infiltration. As an action, choose one or more creatures you can see, up to a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus, and then roll one Psionic Energy die. For a number of hours equal to the number rolled, the chosen creatures can speak telepathically with you, and you can speak telepathically with them. To send or receive a message (no action required), you and the other creature must be within 1 mile of each other. A creature can't use this telepathy if it can't speak any languages, and a creature can end the telepathic connection at any time (no action required). You and the creature don't need to speak a common language to understand each other.

The first time you use this power after each long rest, you don't expend the Psionic Energy die. All other times you use the power, you expend the die.

Psychic BladesAlso at 3rd level, You can manifest your psionic power as shimmering blades of psychic energy. Whenever you take the Attack action, you can manifest a psychic blade from your free hand and make the attack with that blade. This magic blade is a simple melee weapon with the finesse and thrown properties. It has a normal range of 60 feet and no long range, and on a hit, it deals psychic damage equal to 1d6 plus the ability modifier you used for the attack roll. The blade vanishes immediately after it hits or misses its target, and it leaves no mark on its target if it deals damage.

After you attack with the blade, you can make a melee or ranged weapon attack with a second psychic blade as a bonus action on the same turn, provided your other hand is free to create it. The damage die of this bonus attack is 1d4, instead of 1d6.

CANTRIPS - Guidance (C)


LEVEL 1 - Identify* (once/LR)


LEVEL 2 - AuguryCasting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (specially marked sticks, bones, or similar tokens worth at least 25 gp)
Duration: Instantaneous

By casting gem-inlaid sticks, rolling dragon bones, laying out ornate cards, or employing some other divining tool, you receive an omen from an otherworldly entity about the results of a specific course of action that you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. The DM chooses from the following possible omens:

Weal, for good results
Woe, for bad results
Weal and woe, for both good and bad results
Nothing, for results that aren’t especially good or bad
The spell doesn’t take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion. If you cast the spell two or more times before completing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The DM makes this roll in secret.
(once/LR)


Spellwrought Tattoos -

Feather FallCasting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you or a creature within 60 feet of you falls
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, M (a small feather or piece of down)
Duration: 1 minute

Choose up to five falling creatures within range. A falling creature’s rate of descent slows to 60 feet per round until the spell ends. If the creature lands before the spell ends, it takes no falling damage and can land on its feet, and the spell ends for that creature.
, Fod CloudCasting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You create a 20-foot-radius sphere of fog centered on a point within range. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for the duration or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.
, ThunderwaveCasting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot cube)
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous

A wave of thunderous force sweeps out from you. Each creature in a 15-foot cube originating from you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn’t pushed.

In addition, unsecured objects that are completely within the area of effect are automatically pushed 10 feet away from you by the spell’s effect, and the spell emits a thunderous boom audible out to 300 feet.
, EntangleCasting Time: 1 action
Range: 90 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Grasping weeds and vines sprout from the ground in a 20-foot square starting from a point within range. For the duration, these plants turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain.

A creature in the area when you cast the spell must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by the entangling plants until the spell ends. A creature restrained by the plants can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself.

When the spell ends, the conjured plants wilt away.
, Absorb ElementsCasting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you take acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage
Range: 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.

APPEARANCE


Age 68 | Height 3' 4" | Weight 40 lbs. | Hair Purple | Eyes Pale Blue (Ersatz eye) and Pale Green | Complexion Green!


Noodlot, or Noodles as he is usually known, is a VERY peculiar specimen for a gnome! In fact, the little chap is frequently mistaken for a goblin.

You see, his time in the wastes living alongside the Dust Goblin tribes, has had a lasting impact on him. His ears seem larger, his teeth a little sharper...even his skin has taken on a more goblinlike appearance (partly due to the herbs he rubs on it which give it a greenish tint). His skin is also covered with goblin runes, magical tattoos carved into his flesh.

The only real giveaways to his true nature are his bright purple hair and his mismatched eyes...one blue and one green, a clear sign that he was born a Wyrd Gnome.

But even these are deceptive. Occasionally, the blue one will flash with a malevolent glint or glow faintly in the darkness...a reminder, to those who know him, that this is not his real eye, but a replacement given after his own was sacrificed by the "Maimed Ones" and the source of his psychic abilities.

Naturally, life in the Wastes, his time with the goblins, the loss of his eye and the dark replacement he now bears have left his mind in a state of disarray...the only predictable thing about him nowadays is his love for trinkets in all shapes and sizes... which is why he roams the land, and why he has joined the group.

 

BACKGROUND


WASTELANDER
Source Kobold Press website


  • Personality Traits: I am incredibly messy and like foods that others find disgusting. By living among the Maimed Ones I have become desensitised to violence.
  • Ideals: With every great discovery there is grave danger, the two walk hand in hand. And there's nothing more exhilarating than a narrow escape from the jaws of death. Suffering refines us rather than destroys us!
  • Bonds: These wastes may not seem much to you, but they are my new home now and I must protect them and "my tribe".
  • Flaws: I sometimes talk to myself in public - does something whisper back? I also giggle inappropriately at things that others find disgusting or terrifying.

Background Feature: Wasteland Wanderer

All Int (Arcana or History) checks made by you regarding the Western Wastes (Great Old Ones, Vril technology, wasteland Ley-Lines, and such) are made at advantage.

Additionally, as an expert at skulking, scrounging, and spying among ash-dunes, petrified forests, and cyclopean, spell-scorched ruins, you do not suffer disadvantage due to dim light, sand, or dust storms, wind, or rain when making Wis (Perception) checks that rely on sight or hearing. You may attempt Hide while only lightly obscured.

While operating within the boundaries of the Wasted West (or similar arcane apocalypse), you are considered to be proficient in the Nature, Medicine, and Survival skills.


BACKSTORY

Noodlot Goblinfriend's story began far from the Mana Wastes, in the City of Lanterns - Corremel. Born into a Wyrd Gnome group, the youngster grew up within the confines of the Sheltered Market, where his family ran a stall for Mistress Twylla Yoop. It was a matter of family pride that, not only would their stall always have what you needed, it would be ready and waiting for you before you even asked for it.

By the tender age of 28, Noodlot was already a dab hand at buying and selling unusual items and was trusted to run the stall despite not yet coming of age. However, it was his immaturity that was to be his downfall. Theft from the stall was virtually unheard of, since the Gnomes were prescient, but Noodlot spotted a wiry green arm that grabbed a handful of items indiscriminately before it's owner fled.

Horrified, the young gnome gave chase, following the hooded figure across the city and into The Tumbles, where he lost the thief. Panting and gasping, Noodlot tried to catch his breath as he leant against a statue, swearing and wishing that he could catch up with the rogue...and thus his fate was sealed. For a wish made whilst leaning against a shrine to Laughing Loki is never going to end well!!

Seconds later a portal opened, throwing the unlucky gnome into the Wastelands of Midgard and into the midst of a very surprised camp of Maimed Ones. These dust goblins seized the youngster and made him their prisoner. As is their way, they did not kill him, but prepared to offer him up as a sacrifice to the Dread Walker Kb'r'ck. For his mismatched eyes hinted at his prophetic abilities, and so it was that Noodlot lost an eye to the "Growing Crystal".

But whatever revelation was shared with the Bearers by this terrible entity caused them to spare the gnomes life...for better or worse. They grafted him a new crystal eye into place, carved runes into his skin, healed his wounds and kept the youngster in chains as their "guest" for many years. Gradually, as his mind tried to deal with all that had befallen him, he began to lose his grip on reality. He grew accustomed to the ways of the tribe, the violence, the whispers in his head and the strange new powers that seemed to grow as the voices grew louder.


40 years later and most of the goblins who found him are dead. In fact, most of the tribe are dead! Noodles is free from his chains, and a respected member of the tribe (well, he thinks so!) For the last few years he has been the tribes hunter-gatherer, using his newly acquired skills and the vague memories of his trading days to track down all kinds of mystical trinkets (mostly useless). His trips have brought him into contact with other "adventurers" and now he has heard rumours of a solitary spire that once brought life to this dusty land. Perhaps this spire could save what remains of "his tribe"? Perhaps he could finally be a hero!

Muttering and giggling to himself he sets off in search of his destiny!

@bwatford thanks for the invite! 😁

Hope you don't mind a tiny tweak - I forgot to purchase augury components (weird that the racial feature Identify doesn't need them but Augury does!) Anyway, I realised that there was an opportunity for a little grossness, so I changed the trinket (still number 60, but from another source). Now he rolls the augury bones from a skull, which doubles as his drinking cup!! 😂

Editing again...from the map it makes more sense that the Maimed Ones would have sacrificed his eye to Kb'r'ck and I can tie this in to a crystalline ersatz eye quite nicely. It would also put me in the right ballpark for the start of the adventure...
