Raw Blame History

Havoc. Mayhem. Chaos. Youve learned to embrace them as you once learned to embrace your rage. To some, havoc is the weapon that breaks, but to you, its the weapon that breaks your enemies. To some, mayhem is the wound that bleeds them dry, but to you, its fuel for the fire within. To some, chaos is a tribulation to overcome, but to you, its the only way to live.

Chaos Conduit

3rd-Level Chaos Feature 

The chaos in your blood empowers you. You gain a number of d10 dice equal to your PB + 1 (minimum of 3), and these dice are your Chaos Dice. You can spend Chaos Dice to empower your Chaos Banes, which are described later in this feature. You regain all expended Chaos Dice when you finish a short or long rest.

Saves. Some of your Chaos Banes require your target to make a save or suffer additional effects. The save DC for these bane effects is calculated as follows:

Bane save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus (PB) + your STR or CON modifier (your choice)

Chaos Banes 

When you successfully hit a creature with a melee attack while your Rage feature (see Players Guide) is active, you can choose to expend one chaos die. When you do so, roll the expended die. The creature then takes additional force damage equal to the number rolled and is afflicted with one of the following Chaos Banes of your choice.

  • Enervate. The target must succeed on a WIS save or have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn. 
  • Impede. Your target must succeed on an INT save, or it cant take reactions until the start of its next turn. 
  • Martyr. Roll your expended Chaos Die a second time. The target takes additional force damage equal to the result, and you take the same amount of damage. Damage you take from this feature cant be reduced by your resistances, immunities, or any other abilities. 
  • Shunt. Your target must succeed on a CON save or be teleported to an unoccupied space of your choice you can see within 30 feet of you.

Random Polymath 

3rd-Level Chaos Feature 

When you finish a long rest, you gain proficiency in a random skill determined by rolling a d20 and consulting the Random Skill table. If you are already proficient in the skill rolled, double your PB instead for checks with that skill for the duration. The benefits of this feature last until you finish a long rest.

Invoke Entropy

7th-Level Chaos Feature 

As a reaction when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you succeeds or fails a check, you can force that creature to reroll the check—potentially turning a failure into success or a success into failure. The target must use the result of the new roll. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your PB and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Mayhem Shield 

11th-Level Chaos Feature 

You gain an additional way to use your Chaos Dice (see Chaos Conduit feature). When a creature you can see hits you with an attack, you can choose to expend one or more Chaos Dice. Roll the expended dice and reduce the damage you take from the triggering attack by the total amount rolled on the expended dice. If you roll either a 1 or 10 on any of the expended die, it triggers the following additional effects.

  • Result of 1. For each result of 1 rolled, you regain a number of expended Chaos Dice equal to your PB. This feature cant give you more Chaos Dice than the maximum possible amount.
  • Result of 10. For each result of 10 rolled, the attacking creature takes an amount of force damage equal to the combined total of your expended Chaos Dice results.

Cry Havoc 

15th-Level Chaos Feature 

If you start your turn and have no Chaos Dice remaining (see Chaos Conduit feature), you automatically regain one expended die and have advantage on the first attack roll you make before the end of your turn.
