D&D Options For Aamvikka

D&D Options for Aamvikka

(designed and submitted by @makadragontamer)

Feel free to ignore this but, because I am an absolute nerd, my brain kinda latched onto the idea of putting Amavikka culture into D&D. Like, Liea The Elder Sister is a white dragon and we get that sweet sweet subversion of the monster trope. And any and all symbols carved for her look almost but not quite like the symbol for Bahamut the Platinum Dragon, so all Amavikka know who you really worship and nobody else bothers you about your obscure deity. Then I had an idea that maybe Ekkreth was some kind of fey and then dismissed it and then went “wait, no, the Masters all say that Ekkreth is just a fey to try and get away with potentially angering a deity”.

Also, have and Oath of the Unfettered (in no way play tested and probably definitely way more flavor than balance) Paladin. Because I wanted to. Look, I know that paladins can have heavy armor and that puts stealth at a disadvantage and so I shouldn’t make this all stealth based but I also don’t care.

Oath of the Unfettered The Oath of the Unfettered is deeply personal and shared only with the vast desert and Ar-Amu herself. Usually the Oath will follow along the same three ideas. (If you feel the need to shift these, go for it)

Secrecy: Always under Depur’s watchful eye, there is nothing more sacred than what Depur cannot touch.

Dukkra ba Dukkra: I shall help make free as many as I can.

Choice: I am what I make myself.

Oath Spells: Level   Spells 3rd      Create or Destroy Water, Protection from Evil and Good 5th      Find Traps, Pass Without Trace 9th      Create Food and Water, Clairvoyance 13th    Divination, Wall of Fire 17th    Control Winds, Flame Strike

Channel Divinity When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Light of Tena.

As an action, you can imbue one weapon that you are holding with positive energy, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). The weapon also emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond that. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration. You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Blessing of Ar-Amu.

You can use your action to touch a willing creature other than yourself to give it advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. This blessing lasts for 1 hour or until you use this feature again.

Aura of the Protector

Starting at 7th level, when a creature within 10 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to magically take that damage, instead of that creature taking it. This feature doesn’t transfer any other effects that might accompany the damage, and this damage can’t be reduced in any way. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Spirit of Freedom

Beginning at 15th level, you always have advantage on stealth and deception checks.

Ar-Amu’s Flames

At 20th level, as an action, you can emanate an aura of fire. For 1 minute, bright light shines from you in a 30-foot radius, and dim light shines 30 feet beyond that. Whenever an enemy creature starts its turn in the bright light, the creature takes 10 fire damage. In addition, for the duration, all ranged attacks have disadvantage against you. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Oh, and also a sorcerous origin

Bones of the Desert (it’s a draconic ancestry variant, also not balanced cause I ain’t got the patience for that) ((again, feel free to wiggle with it))

Draconic Resilience The Elder Sister has blessed you. This causes physical traits of the krayt dragon to emerge. At 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class. Additionally, parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When you aren’t wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

Almighty Roar Starting at level six, you can channel the wrath of the Elder Sister. Once a day you use your action to let out a bone shattering roar. One target within 10 feet of you must make a wisdom saving throw against your spell DC or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Dragon Wings At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.You can’t manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

Draconic Presence (look, I really had no idea what to make the sixth level perk because it was originally elemental damage but that didn’t feel right with this build. sooo… upgrade. you can put it back if you like. I won’t blame you.)

Beginning at 18th level, you can channel the dread presence of your dragon ancestor, causing those around you to become awestruck or frightened. As an action, you can spend 5 sorcery points to draw on this power and exude an aura of awe or fear (your choice) to a distance of 60 feet. For 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were casting a concentration spell), each hostile creature that starts its turn in this aura must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed (if you chose awe) or frightened (if you chose fear) until the aura ends. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to your aura for 24 hours.

And an Amavikka Character Background! (minus personality traits, bonds, flaws and ideals because I am totally blanking on those. Make your own! It’ll be fun!) Proficiencies: Deception, Survival Languages: Amatakka Freedom Trail: You have friends and allies in the underground freedom trails all over. Should you find yourself in need of assistance, they will to their best to at least point you in the right direction.

Anyway, that’s all I got. If anybody does actually use these, hit me up and let me know! Especially if you manage to balance them
