Bare, clawed feet part river-rounded gravel as a tengu sweeps through motions as graceful as any dancer’s, the surging water parting to allow her and her weary companions a peaceful crossing.

With patient composure, an oniborne deflects a hail of flaming arrows, redirecting their heat into a cascade of blue flame and burning fists.

The clack of jagged obsidian, splash of glacial water, and warmth of flaming eddies gather within a rushing whirlwind. Drifting out of these massed elements is a glowing atatsu; a primordial incarnation of their mortal form.

These benders, as disparate as their affinities might be, are defined by their connection with the elements: a magic manifested through precise and practised movements. More than a martial art, their motions are a spectacular union of magical and physical virtuosity, each twist and flick a nuanced touch of the Weave. For some, this is a weapon of war, of thunderclaps and fists of rock. For others, this is a tool to preserve, to craft shields of ice and invigorate with an inner flame. Whether a bender chooses to study all the elements—earth, air, water, and fire—or to master just one, the primordial forces of nature are theirs to command.

You can make a bender quickly by following these suggestions. First, put your highest ability score in the ability you choose for your spellcasting: Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma, followed by Dexterity. Second, choose the elementalist background.

Hit Dice: 1d8 per bender level
Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per bender level after 1st

Armour: Light armour, Medium armour
Weapons: Simple weapons, chakrams, nunchaku, shortswords, shuriken, starknives, twin blades
Tools: One type of artisan’s tools or one musical instrument of your choice
Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution
Skills: Choose two from Acrobatics, Athletics, History, Insight, Religion, and Stealth

You start with the following items, in addition to anything provided by your background:

Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must have at least a 13 in the spellcasting ability from your bender Spellcasting feature to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a bender.

Proficiencies Gained. If bender isn’t your initial class, when you take your first level as a bender, you gain proficiency with simple weapons.

Spell Slots. Add half your levels (rounded up) in the bender class to the appropriate levels from other classes to determine your available spell slots .

1st-level Bender feature
As a bender of elements, you use the motions of your corporeal form to coax the Weave into manipulating the primordial forces.

You know two cantrips of your choice from your bender spell list (see Elemental Affinity) . At higher levels, you learn additional cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Bender table . Your Elemental Affinity feature also allows you to learn more cantrips at higher levels.

The Bender table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your bender spells of 1st level and higher . To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher . You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the repertoire of bender spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from your bender spell list (see Elemental Affinity) . When you do so, choose a number of these spells equal to your bender spellcasting ability modifier + half your bender level, rounded down (minimum of one spell) . The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level bender, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots . With a spellcasting ability of 14, your repertoire of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination . If you prepare the 1st-level spell thunderwave, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot . Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your repertoire of prepared spells.

You can change your repertoire of prepared spells when you finish a long rest . Preparing a new repertoire of bender spells requires time spent practicing their movements and gestures: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell in your repertoire.

When you gain your first level in this class, you choose which spellcasting ability you use for your bender spells from Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. You use this ability whenever a bender spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use this ability’s modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a bender spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your spellcasting ability modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your spellcasting ability modifier

You can cast a bender spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

You can use your free hand as a spellcasting focus for your bender spells. This free hand can be used for both the somatic and material components for a spell, provided the material component has no cost and isn’t consumed by the casting.

Benders induce magical effects through movement. These movements are a precise sequence—similar to the katas practised in karate—and a specific sequence will always result in a specific spell or magical effect. You might describe preparing a spell at the end of a long rest as practising a martial form, or convey a spell not taking effect as its bender slipping on a rock during the sequence. A ritual spell might involve the same sequence being performed repeatedly, each iteration coaxing the elements into the desired effect.

When a spell takes effect, it is always linked to the elements in some way. A shield spell cast by a bender with air affinity might appear like tumultuous gusts of wind, while that of an earth bender could condense dust into a rocky plate, or cause a pillar of earth to deflect an incoming blow. A hold person spell could be flavoured as a water bender controlling the water within a person, while a fire bender’s major image could be described as a heat-induced shimmering of the air.

1st-Level Bender Feature
You find attunement with one of the four elements. Choose one of the following: air, earth, fire, or water. The spells associated with that element (see Bender Spell List on page xx) are added to your bender spell list. Each element is associated with one or two damage types:

*At Higher Levels.* At 6th, 10th, and 14th levels, you choose one of the four elements to gain affinity with, either a new element or one you’ve chosen before. This has some immediate effects and interacts with some subclass features (see below).

1st-Level Bender Feature
You have learnt to unite magic with movement, giving you a unique and deadly combat style. When you take the Attack action, you can make melee or ranged spell attacks called elemental strikes as one or more of your attacks. The strike deals damage of a type with which you have affinity (your choice when you make the attack).

Any magic items that confer a bonus to the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes confer the same bonus to your elemental strikes.

2nd-Level Bender Feature
Your strikes manifest elemental energy, which you can unleash at the peak of your combination. On your turn, after you make a weapon attack or elemental strike, or after you cast a levelled spell from your bender spell list, you can release a jet of elemental energy as a bonus action. Make a spell attack against a creature within 60 feet of you. On a hit, it deals 1d4 damage of a type with which you have affinity. If the target of this attack is within 10 feet of you, you can add your spellcasting ability modifier to the damage.

At Higher Levels. This attack's damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 6th level (2d4), 10th level (3d4) and 14th level (4d4) in this class.

3rd-Level Bender Feature
You choose an aspect of how nature manifests which you embody in your manipulation of the elements. Your discipline choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 15th, and 20th level.

4th-Level Bender Feature
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

5th-Level Bender Feature
You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

7th-Level Bender Feature
This feature replaces the Extra Attack feature and works with features that interact with Extra Attack.

You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

When you reach 7th level in this class, your movements allow you to imbue magic in the elements you bend. When you take the Attack action, you can cast one cantrip in the bender spell list that you know in place of one of your attacks. This cantrip must have a casting time of one action, and it is cast at its lowest level.

For example, if you are an 11th-level bender and use this feature to replace an attack with a casting of fire bolt, the cantrip deals 1d10 damage (instead of 3d10).

11th-Level Bender Feature
As a bonus action, you embody aspects of a chosen element. Choose one of the elements with which you have affinity. For 1 minute, you can cast 1st-level spells associated with that element (see Elemental Affinity lists, page xx) without expending a spell slot. In addition, you gain a benefit based on that element:

After you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. Starting at 17th level, while in your primordial form, you can cast spells of 2nd level or lower without expending a spell slot.

18th-Level Bender Feature
As an action, you become a primordial incarnation of your mortal form. You gain 50 temporary hit points as well as benefits based on your Elemental Affinities, which last for 10 minutes. After you enter this state using this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

Benders control the primordial forces through manipulation of the Weave. The spell list for the bender class, including spells from the SRD (the free 5th-edition source rules) is provided below, sorted by their element. Spells with asterisks (*) are new spells that can be found on the Spells page.

If you want to use spells from other 5e sources that are not mentioned in this list, feel free! When deciding whether an element should get access to a spell, use the following guidance. If, as a player, you encounter spells that are not on the lists below that deal these damage types or use the associated elements, work with your GM to decide if they can be added to that element’s list.

The elements are every bender’s tool, the instrument with which they dazzle an audience, save souls from natural disaster, or strike down foes. As varied as the myriad ways in which nature manifests, different benders find inspiration from different facets of nature. Some feast on the catastrophic eruption of a volcano, a tumultuous torrent of fire and earth. Others are roused by stoic glaciers and the impenetrable teeth of high mountains. And the bountiful creche of gentle winds and clean water provides succour for those who nurture values of growth and wellbeing. At 3rd level, you choose the aspects of nature that inspire your command of the elements.

The elements are every bender’s tool, the instrument with which they dazzle an audience, save souls from natural disaster, or strike down foes. As varied as the myriad ways in which nature manifests, different benders find inspiration from different facets of nature. Some feast on the catastrophic eruption of a volcano, a tumultuous torrent of fire and earth. Others are roused by stoic glaciers and the impenetrable teeth of high mountains. And the bountiful crèche of gentle winds and clean water provides succour for those who nurture values of growth and wellbeing. At 3rd level, you choose the aspects of nature that inspire your command of the elements.

Disciples of Ferocity traverse battlefields as a whirlwind of blades, fists, and elemental fury. Whether it be with the deadly patience of a stalking predator or the reckless abandon of a raging barbarian, these benders rely on an unflinching offence as the solution to that which stands in their way. They are students of devastation. Armed and armoured, their movements embody the destructive forces of nature: desolating wildfires, wrenching tornadoes, surging tsunamis, and rending earthquakes.

How did you come to follow such a path? Perhaps you were a mercenary exposed to primordial influences. Maybe you were a sailor, using wind and water to shorten sea voyages and protect your crew from pirates and raiders. Conversely, you may be an acolyte of pacifism, unleashing your destructive potential when fear overrides your better judgement. The choice is yours, and the elements are your weapons.

Prerequisite: 3rd-Level Disciple of Ferocity feature
The following spells are added to your bender spell list. They always take the form of an element associated with your Elemental Affinity. For example, a guardian of faith may take the form of a giant stalagmite projecting spears of rock (earth affinity), or a storm cloud letting loose booms of thunder (air affinity). Once you gain access to a discipline spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

*The damage type is one for which you have affinity instead of what is specified (you choose when you cast the spell).
**You move to a Border-Elemental Plane associated with your Elemental Affinity (see page 159).

Prerequisite: 3rd-Level Disciple of Ferocity feature
You gain proficiency with all martial weapons and can use any weapon you are proficient with as a spellcasting focus for your bender spells.

Prerequisite: 3rd-Level Disciple of Ferocity feature
You have learnt to channel elemental energy beyond your fist to the weapons you wield. You can use your bender spellcasting ability instead of Strength or Dexterity for weapon attack and damage rolls.

Prerequisite: 7th-Level Disciple of Ferocity feature
When you hit a creature with an attack, you can expend a spell slot to deal extra damage of a type associated with your Elemental Affinity. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 6d8.

Prerequisite: 15th-Level Disciple of Ferocity feature
The damage of your Elemental Combo feature increases to 5d4.

Prerequisite: 20th-Level Disciple of Ferocity feature
You can attack three times whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

#RyokosGuideToTheYokaiRealms

The elements are pure: solid earth, liquid water, gaseous air, and fire—energy incarnate. However, the borders between these elements are where things get interesting. Water and earth can produce calamitous mudslides capable of decimating an army. When wind whips up sand, a dust storm can leave even the hardiest explorers lost and disoriented. And, in the calm of a bathhouse, the confluence of fire and water can bring about calming steam that cleanses the body and soothes the soul.
A bender of the Disciple of Fusion lives on these elemental extremities, pushing the borders, always with an eye on the primordial forces that they have not yet mastered. Your connection to every element runs so deeply that it is almost second nature to blend them together. You may smelt ore with astounding alacrity, be a sculptor whose ability to shape ice rivals that of the finest enkoh architects, or perhaps you work as a thief, creating clouds of smoke to blind guards and make good your escape. You are the unexpected solution that changes the paradigm of any problem.

3rd-Level Disciple of Fusion Feature
Your connection with all elements allows you to mould them in their most basic form. You learn two additional bender cantrips of your choice, which can be from any element’s list, and don’t count towards the number of cantrips you know.

3rd-Level Disciple of Fusion Feature
As your connection with the primordial forces deepens, you learn to manipulate even the elements with which you are less familiar. You learn one 1st-level bender spell from any element’s list; you always have that spell prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. When you reach 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level in this class, you learn one 2nd-, 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-level bender spell in this way, respectively.
If you don’t have affinity with the element from which a spell is chosen, the spell is cast as if you had 1 affinity with that element.

3rd-Level Disciple of Fusion Feature
When you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to cast a spell from your bender spell repertoire, you can augment it with another element, creating an additional effect in a sphere centred on the target of your spell or, if the spell affects an area, the centre of the affected area. You choose the size of the sphere, which can have a maximum radius in feet equal to five times the level of the spell slot expended. The effect depends on the element list from which the spell was drawn, and the element with which you choose to combine it. Any saving throws are against your bender spell save DC.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your bender spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of once), and regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Air & Earth: Dust. Dust explodes in the sphere. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of your next turn.
Air & Fire: Smoke. Cloying smoke fills the sphere until the end of your next turn. For the duration, the area is heavily obscured, creatures in the area can speak only falteringly, and any creature in the area that tries to cast a spell with a verbal component must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or fail to cast the spell, wasting the spellcasting action (but not the spell slot).
Air & Water: Ice. All surfaces in the sphere become covered with a layer of slick ice, turning the area into difficult terrain until the end of your next turn. When the ice appears, each creature standing in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. A creature that enters the area or ends its turn there must also succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
Earth & Fire: Lava. Speckles of molten rock explode in the sphere. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 fire damage per level of spell slot expended.
Earth & Water: Mud. A torrent of sticky mud erupts in the sphere. The area becomes difficult terrain until cleaned, and each creature in the sphere has its speed reduced by 15 feet. A creature can use its action to clean the mud off of itself or another affected creature, removing the speed reduction. A creature can clear a 5-foot-square area of difficult terrain as an action.
Fire & Water: Steam. Steam blooms in the sphere until the end of your next turn. For the duration, the area is heavily obscured, and a creature that ends its turn in the sphere takes 1d4 fire damage per level of the spell slot expended.

7th-Level Disciple of Fusion Feature
When you cast a spell which deals damage of a type associated with an Elemental Affinity, you can change the damage type to one associated with one of your Elemental Affinities. In addition, when a creature you can see casts a spell that deals damage of a type associated with any Elemental Affinity, you can use your reaction to make a spellcasting ability check. The DC for the check equals 10 plus the spell’s level (cantrips are DC 10). On a success, you change the damage type to one associated with one of your Elemental Affinities.

15th-Level Disciple of Fusion Feature
On your turn, when you use your action to cast a bender spell of 1st level or higher, you can cast a bender cantrip with a casting time of one action as a bonus action that turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your spell bender casting ability modifier (minimum of once) and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

20th-Level Disciple of Fusion Feature
You gain two additional Elemental Affinities of your choice, for a total of six affinities. You can have no more than four affinities for any one element. Bender > Disciple of Fortification

#RyokosGuideToTheYokaiRealms

A bubble of temperate calm amongst a raging wildfire, a wedge of unmoving rock within a landslide, a shield of ice against fist-sized hailstones; you are a bulwark against the forces of nature, bending them to protect yourself and your allies. You understand that your role is not to crush and slaughter, but to preserve those around you so you may triumph together. As a Disciple of Fortification, you may have taken a vow of pacifism yet still yearn for a life of danger and adventure. Perhaps you worked as a bodyguard, valuing the life of another more than your own. Maybe you found employment in a mine, saving colleagues from death by rock and explosives. Or it could be that your self preservation instincts are so well-honed that you cannot help but avoid catastrophe. Either way, the elements shield and fortify you from hurt and harm.

3rd-Level Disciple of Fortification Feature
The following spells are added to your bender spell list. They always take the form of an element associated with your Elemental Affinity. For example, a shield may appear as ice (water affinity) or rock (earth affinity). Once you gain access to a discipline spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

*See Chapter 13 - Spells
**Must be a damage type for which you have affinity (see Elemental Affinity, page 159).

3rd-Level Disciple of Fortification Feature
You gain proficiency with heavy armour and shields. In addition, you can use a shield as a spellcasting focus for your bender spells.

3rd-Level Disciple of Fortification Feature
You learn to create a shield of primordial energy. As a bonus action on your turn, you can create this shield, granting you or a willing creature within 30 feet of you 1d6 temporary hit points. These temporary hit points last until you use this feature again or the target finishes a long rest. The number of temporary hit points increases to 1d10 at 6th level, 2d6 at 10th level, and 2d10 at 14th level.

7th-Level Disciple of Fortification Feature
When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you (including yourself) would take damage of a type associated with your Elemental Affinity (see page 159), you can use your reaction to reduce that damage. The damage is reduced by 2d6 for each time you have chosen affinity with that element. If this reduces the damage to 0, you can make a ranged spell attack, redirecting the energy at a target within 30 feet of the original target. The attack deals damage equal to the amount by which you reduced the triggering damage. The size of these dice increase to d8s at 11th level, d10s at 15th level, and d12s at 20th level.

15th-Level Disciple of Fortification Feature
When you cast a bender spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you (including yourself) to gain a bonus to AC equal to the base level of the spell until the start of your next turn.

20th-Level Disciple of Fortification Feature
When you roll initiative and aren’t surprised, you can use your reaction to cast a spell associated with your Elemental Affinity, as shown in the table below, without expending a spell slot. Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

*See Spells

#RyokosGuideToTheYokaiRealms

A rock suddenly lowers, dropping an ally a crucial inch and turning a critical hit into a glancing blow. A precise gust of wind accelerates an arrow over a foe’s shield, striking them in the eye. A burst of flame temporarily blinds an opponent, causing their battleaxe to swing wide. Where others shield and strike, Disciples of Invigoration prefer a more subtle approach, bolstering an ally from within or manipulating a foe’s attacks with alacritous and shrewd bursts of elemental energy. Why did you choose this path? Did you always have a helpful disposition? Were you an aide de camp in a large army? A wizard’s apprentice that wandered into an elemental experiment? Whatever your choice, you are the favourable wind that stops a friend falling, the slick rock that foils a foe’s footing, and the inner flame that turns the tide of battle.

3rd-Level Disciple of Invigoration Feature
The following spells are added to your bender spell list. They always take the form of an element associated with your Elemental Affinity. For example, the bless spell may manifest as fortuitous gusts of wind (air affinity) or illuminating sparks (fire affinity). Once you gain access to a discipline spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

3rd-Level Disciple of Invigoration Feature
Your connection to the elements invigorates your body. Your hit point maximum increases by 3 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class. In addition, you can add your bender spellcasting ability modifier to checks you make to maintain your concentration.

3rd-Level Disciple of Invigoration Feature
With shrewd timing, you imbue an ally with invigorating energy. When a willing creature you can see within 30 feet of you fails a saving throw or misses an attack roll, you can use your reaction to give it a rejuvenating boost. It immediately rerolls the saving throw or attack roll, with an additional bonus equal to your bender spellcasting ability modifier, and it must use the new result, potentially turning a failed save into a success or a missed attack into a hit. If this rerolled attack hits, it deals extra damage of a type associated with one of your Elemental Affinities (your choice when you take the reaction) equal to your bender spellcasting ability modifier.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your bender spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

7th-Level Disciple of Invigoration Feature
Once on your turn, when you deal damage to a creature using a damage type associated with your Elemental Affinity, you can cause the elements to manifest in a distracting array: fire may burst into dazzling lights, water may foam into obscuring spray, and wind or earth may whip up into a cloud. The next time the target makes an attack roll or saving throw before the end of its next turn, it must roll a d8 and subtract that from the result.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your bender spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

15th-Level Disciple of Invigoration Feature
Once per turn when you cast a bender spell of 1st level or higher that targets an ally, you can enhance that spell (no action required). Choose one of the following options:

If the spell targets more than one ally, you choose which ally gains the benefit. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your bender spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of once) and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

20th-Level Disciple of Invigoration Feature
When you enter your Primordial Avatar state, you can grant up to five willing creatures within 30 feet of you one level 1 benefit listed in an appropriate Primordial Avatar Benefits table for an element with which you have affinity. You choose a single effect to grant to all the creatures, which lasts until your Primordial Avatar state ends.
