Actions

Multiattack. The stoneguard makes three granite maul attacks.

Granite Maul. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one

target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If the attack

hits, the stoneguard may also immediately cast thunderwave as

a bonus action. This casting uses a spell slot, but no material

components.

Sentinel. When a creature within 5 feet of the stoneguard

attacks a target other than the stoneguard, it can make a single

attack roll against the attacker.

Flameform. As a bonus action, the firetamer can transform into

a fire elemental. While in this form, the firetamer cannot cast

spells, but can expend a spell slot as a bonus action to regain

1d8 hit points per level of the spell slot expended. When the

firetamer is reduced to 0 hit points, falls unconscious, or dies

in this form, it reverts to its humanoid form. It can remain in

flameform for up to 5 hours, and can enter flameform twice,

regaining expended uses after completing a short or long rest.

Spellcasting. The firetamer is a 9th-level spellcaster. Its

spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit with

spell attacks). It has the following druid spells prepared:

1st level (4 slots): cure wounds, faerie fire, longstrider, jump

2nd level (3 slots): flame blade, heat metal, lesser restoration

3rd level (3 slots): daylight, dispel magic, protection from energy

4th level (3 slots): blight, freedom of movement, wall of fire

Actions

Scimitar. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) slashing damage plus 14 (4d6) fire damage.

Flamecharm (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The

firetamer can cast dominate monster (save DC 16) on a fire

elemental or other fire elemental creature. If the elemental has

150 or more hit points, it has advantage on the saving throw.

and outlast enemies than wage offensive wars. The Terrah

stoneguard are the perfect embodiment of this ideal; their

druidic training has been augmented by ancient combat

techniques, allowing them to hold fast against a tide of

enemies. They craft arms and armor from the granite

around them, and their magical stonecraft rivals that of

the dwarves. It is said that in mythic times, when ele-

mental armies poured into Exandria, that two legendary

stoneguards protected all of Terrah against the elemental

onslaught for ten days and ten nights, guarding each other

while their partner rested.

Today, the order of stoneguards stands vigilant along

key defensive points within the Cliff keep Mountains,

warding the Terrah tribe against the dwarves of Kra-

ghammer. If the stoneguard were ever to falter in their

vigil, they believe the dwarves would doubtlessly enter

their ancestral lands and strip bare its natural beauty in

search of wealth and fuel.

ashari WaVerider

The waveriders of Vesrah know firsthand the dangers

of the open ocean, and dedicate their lives to protecting

seafarers from storms, pirates, and sea monsters. Though

they are not warriors, they are accomplished healers and

aquatic empaths, using their powers to seek out and rescue

survivors of marine disasters, sometimes returning criti-

cally wounded survivors to Vesrah itself. The isolationist

water ashari condemn this practice, fearing that the refu-

gees threaten their way of life. The waveriders take their

peers’ scorn in stride, for they would rather be righteous

than popular.

A waverider turns to violence only as a last resort, and

prefer to fight in fishform than with their fishing harpoon,

using hit-and-run tactics as a shark or their octopus form’s

natural camouflage to harry opponents. When patrolling

the open seas, waveriders skim across the water on per-

sonal waveboards with folding sails, similar in function to

the skysails of the Zephrah.
