You get charm features at 3rd, 6th, 10th and 14th levels, according to the list below. In the end of a long rest, you may perform a 10 minutes long ritual to dissipate your previous charm (wherever it is) and forge a new one. You may choose either the Nail charm or the Shaman charm, and once you choose one, you may not forge the other ever. Having the charm equipped allows you to gain its features. Only you may attune to it, and it requires one of your attunement slots. The charm is rather small, weighing about 0.05 lb, and contains divine energy. You may also use your bonus action to perform 2 additional dashes with your Mothwing Cloak.Īt 3rd level, you choose a charm, which you forge from god and void. If you use this technique to get away from an enemy, they have disadvantage on their attack of opportunity. You can also use this ability as a reaction to an incoming attack against you if you haven't used it on your turn, imposing disadvantage on the attack. At any point during your turn, you may choose to use this to rush 5' in any horizontal direction in a burst of speed. To use this ability you use 15 Soul and forgo an attack to heal yourself a number of hit points equal to 8 + your Hollow Knight level.Īt 2nd level you gain access to the technique of the Mothwing Cloak. Whenever you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you regain soul equal to the damage dealt. You have a total maximum of 45 Soul, at 7th, 13th and 19th level the pool's maximum is increased by 15. With this you may cast special techniques which only a knight knows. If you are using starting wealth, you have 4d4 x 10 gp in funds.Īt 1st level you have access to a pool of magical energy known as Soul.( a) Explorer's Pack or ( b) Burglar's Pack.( a) Shortsword or Rapier or ( b) any two simple weapons.You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: Skills: Pick three from Acrobatics, Investigation, Perception, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, and Survival Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + Constitution modifier per Hollow Knight level after 1st Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + Constitution modifier A Vessel that has mastered the way of the nail and soul is known as The Hollow Knight.Īs a Hollow Knight you gain the following class features. Looking at the wall of text I've written here makes me rethink suggesting this as an addition to the guide since it's quite verbose but since I've written it down I figure I might as well post it.The Vessels (Hollow Knight version) īorn of God and Void, Vessels are meant to be the last resort that a powerful king can muster, becoming a pure vessel requires having No mind to think, No will to break, and no voice to cry suffering. But If you are a wizard you have to think about both. If you belong to prepared casters you only have to worry about spells prepared. I find this division clears up questions like 'I'm a cleric and there's nothing written in the phb about what spells I know' and 'I'm a ranger and there's nothing in the phb about how I prepare spells', since if you belong to spontaneous casters you only have to worry about spells known.

There are prepared casters, who know all of the spells on their list but can only have a few of them prepared at a time (lvl or halflvl +casting ability) and then there are wizards, who don't know all of their spell list by default (though they eventually can) and also have to prepare a subset of the spells they know each day. You also divide casters into two groups where I usually think about three, there are spontaneous casters, who know a few spells and can cast all of them all the time. One important principle I don't see you mention in there (but you still seem to follow in your example classes) is that at every level a class should gain something new, whether it be a class feature or a new level of spells.
