Charms and Feats: Continuously Updated
Things all Princesses know:
Circle: Spending quality time with your group can improve not only your mental state, but also your physical state. Spending time together after a hard day, your wisps are fully recovered, your transformation chances are fully recovered, your health, and charm slots are all fully recovered for, minimum of one hour.
Without circling, you recover up to 75% health back, up to half spell slots/points of any kind recovered, up to half you wisps, and up to half the transformation charges.
Mandate:
Every Court has a Sacred Oath. By seeing a chance to act on that Sacred Oath and taking it to the next level, and make a real difference. By putting yourself in the best position, and pulling through, you can recover 1d4+1 wisps back.
Royal Tongue: a unique and special language, like Thieves’ Cant or Druidic, only Royalty can know this tongue.
Signature Move:
Use Max Amount of Wisps
If you have a theme song, +5 to dmg
Signature Moves can either have some kind of effect (a mass healing effect, a counter, etc), damage with an added effect, or straight damage. Your Signature Move ALWAYS does your Court Affinity damage.
After level 3, based on your court, a special effect happens with your signature move((**Since there are no Hearts Court Royal. You can go to the Hearts Court to learn the Terra perk after you successfully used your court’s perk.):
Aria(Spades): With the Four Winds at her back, The Princess moves at blinding speeds to strike at the darkness. The princess can teleport up to twice her speed before or after the Signature move. Can use Signature move even if Princess used their action to dash or disengage.
Aqua(Diamonds): Moving like water, adaptive, constant, the Princess moves to end darkness before it ends the light. The princess can use her reaction to interrupt another target's turn.
Fuaco(Swords): With righteous fury boiling over, the Princess explodes to burn away the darkness. Instead of targeting one enemy, the signature move targets all the princess can see in a 20 foot radius, minus allies.
Legno(Clubs): Mastery over nature let's the Princess call upon it to hold back the darkness. The target is entangled/restrained = 1d6+1 rounds.
Terra(Hearts): Being tough as earth helps the Princess know where to strike the darkness to break away it's armor. After the hit, the target suffers a negative to ac equal to the Princess's main ability modifier. Shield spells and magical armor are dispelled.
Takes whole action (so if you attack twice, you can only attack once with Signature Move)
Roll to hit, when it hits, it becomes a crit.
Melee (close and ranged): range: your walking speed: Max weapons dice dmg + roll weapon dmg + stat modifier + proficiency
Example: Jacqi uses her signature move, Laughter of the Spade: Ink Splattered Wind. She uses her quill-rapier, so it would be 1d8 + 8 + Dex + proficiency. If there is anything extra giving her extra dice to the roll, add that once, and if it needs to be rolled, roll it. Court affinity & effect are applied.
Spell Effect: Range: your walking speed. It triggers a spell effect 2d6+ 12 + spell casting stat +proficiency. The damage type is Court Affinity (ie radiant, fire, ice/water, earth(bludegoning), wind(lighting/thunder), nature(force)).
Example: Jacqi uses her signature move, she rolls 2d6 + 12 + Wis mod + proficiency.
Whatever the damage type, the target loses resistance/immunity
After using it, you suffer 1d4+1 hours of level 2 exhaustion.
Royal Crit: ONLY DURING A BOSS FIGHT: After you roll a Nat20, roll again, if you roll an 18, 19, or 20 you do maximum damage. Cannot be used in conjunction with Wisp:Against All Odds.
All Out Attack: When you break or exploit a creature's weak point, the creature has to roll a Con save, 15 or half the damage which is ever higher. If failed, the creature falls prone. Then the Royals can call an all out attack and roll damage.
Death Cry: your death saves are a fight to stay alive and to push your friends to continue the fight, even if you are out of the fight. Roll a charisma check, pass and everyone gets a +1 to their attack rolls, ability checks, and saves for every success up to +2.
Pass all three death saves, you are stabilized, and conscious, just at 0 hit points and unable to do anything until you are healed to at least 1, at this point you are so focused on not losing consciousness. Fail at least one save, and you pass out completely. If you save, then fail, your party keeps the bonus. You do not benefit from this.
Noble Glide:
*Special Charm. All Royals know this Charm**

FEATS:

Flash Step
Raise you Dex or Str by one, to a max of 20
When you are hit, you gain resistance to that damage type until the start of your next turn. After calculating damage, you may use your reaction to move up to half your walking speed, faster than the eye can track. Does not provoke attack of opportunity. To use again, move 0 feet on your next turn.
Take the Hit: As a reaction, you can leap up to your walking speed, as you stand in front of your friend and you take the hit meant for them.
Controlling My Own Power: After taking this feat, you learn to control power you once had no reign over. Using the light within, as a reaction, you can dictate up to 8 creatures, including yourself, to not be affected by a spell, feat, or ability you have. Every time to transform with this feat, you name one spell, feat, or ability you have that forces a save. That chosen spell, feat, or ability does not harm you 8 allies and yourself.
Shikigami (Pact of the Chain feature):
You learn the find familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn’t count against your number of spells known. Need the materials for the spell.
When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar: choose: bat, cat(dog, fox), crab, frog (toad), hawk(eagle, or falcon), lizard, octopus, owl, snake, fish, rat(mouse), raven(or small bird variant), sea horse, spider, or weasel(ferret, sable). Or something else you would like, we can discuss
Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to make one attack with its reaction.
Find Familiar spell:
Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn.
When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again.
While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.
As an action, you can temporarily dismiss your familiar. It disappears into a pocket dimension where it awaits your summons. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.
You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature.
Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll.

What need is there of speech between you and those you love? A Princess uses this Charm to communicate
with another person; if he is not present, the Intimacy modifier applies. The conection stays as long as the Royals are on the same plane.
Intimacy Chart:
- 0 Sensory: You can see the target directly.
- -2 Love: The target is a longtime friend, a member of your family, a romantic lover or a prized possession.
- -4 Friendship: You know the target well; or the target is something you own and care about.
- -6 Compassion: You know the target slightly; or the target is a typical item you own.
- -8 Acquaintance: You have met the target briefly; or the target is an item you have held.
- -10 Few feelings: You have a verbal description of the target, but nothing more.
Dramatic Failure: For the duration, the Princess imagines the voice of her target is speaking to her; what it says is what she generally expects him to say, but it chooses the most distracting moments to speak. She takes a -2 penalty on all Wisdom-based rolls.
Failure: The Charm has no effect.
Success: The Princess can speak directly to the mind of her target, without using her voice, and the target can reply the same way. The Charm conveys only sounds that the Princess and the target could actually speak; so, for example, if one thinks in a language the other doesn’t know, he hears the words but cannot understand them. On the other hand, anything said is heard as clearly as if the two of them stood together in a quiet room. The first time someone is the target of this Charm, he must roll Wisdom
(insight) to learn how to speak through the link (and, possibly, to persuade himself that he isn’t imagining the voice in his head.)
Exceptional Success: In addition, by concentrating the Princess and the target can share a memory. The one who has the memory makes a memory roll(history roll) to recall it; whatever she recalls passes over the link, and the other makes a memory roll to retain the information. This takes an instant action from both characters
Upgrade: Party-Brings up to 6 other creatures in on the voiceless link.
Upgrade: Borrowed (Aria)- The Charm’s link between minds carries sensations. Anyone in the link can make a Perception roll at a -2 penalty to borrow the senses of another person in the link for a brief moment, seeing what the other sees and hearing what she hears in that moment.
Kensai -all royals have this charm-
Kensai and Levin Bolt can be "learned" multiple times, just need to say, while long resting, I create a new kensai/levin bolt weapon. Have up to four kensai & four levin bolt. Each of those weapons can only have up to 3 upgrades. Reforged/Heavy Round does not apply to those upgrades.
Rank 1
Permanent
The Royal creates a weapon out of a hard light. It takes the form of any weapon, and has the stats of that weapon. Can learn multiple times to create different weapons. Each kensai can have up to 2 upgrades applied to it. Can be relearned multiple times for multiple weapons. ***
Upgrade: Reforged (special story upgrade)
Stacks, up to 3 Each time the Princess takes this upgrade, she adds 1 to her weapon’s damage and attacks rolls.
Upgrade: Subduing The Princess’s weapon can cut a foe or merely bruise him, as she wishes. Each time she attacks, she chooses which type of damage the blow inflicts, lethal or subdue damage. Downgrading a lethal weapon to subdue adds +1 to its damage rolls; upgrading a subduing weapon to lethal subtracts -1 from its Damage. Cn also be applied to a Levin Bolt weapon.
Upgrade: Precise (Acqua ) The Princess places her strokes with marvelous accuracy. If she learns this Acqua upgrade, she may ignore up to her proficiency bonus to the creature’s AC.
Upgrade: Sharp (Aria) Like the wind, the Princess’ weapon slips through gaps in her target’s protections. If she learns the Aria upgrade to an attack, the weapon range doubles. She attacks so fast, the air around her slices.
Upgrade: Burning (Fuoco) The Princess’ weapon erupts into flame. The weapon gains the explosive property, upon a hit, everything within 10 ft of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier) or suffer 1d6 fire damage.
Upgrade: Clinging (Legno) The Princess’ weapon wraps around her opponent’s flesh, as tree roots burrow into the earth. With the Legno upgrade, the Royal’s weapon plants fast growing plants that wrap around the opponent. They must succeed a STR save against half the weapon damage dealt, or a save DC of 15, whichever is higher. On a fail, the target is restrained.
Upgrades: Heavy (Terra)
Rocks and soil merge with the hard light to create the weight of the Heart. Turn any weapon that has at least does 1d6 in damage into a siege weapon.
Levin Bolt -all royals have this charm-
Rank 1
Permanent
The Royal creates a ranged weapon out of a hard light. It takes the form of any ranged weapon, and has the stats of that weapon. Can learn multiple times to create different weapons. Each levin bolt can have up to 2 upgrades applied to it.
Upgrade: Heavy Round (special story upgrade)
Stacks, up to 3 Each time a character takes this upgrade, add 1 to the weapon’s to hit and damage rolls.
Upgrade: Fast Reload
With this upgrade, the action it takes to reload a weapon (even if it is to load light) brings it down to a bonus action.
Upgrade: Longshot The weapon’s range doubles.
Upgrade: Geyser (Acqua ) In addition to taking damage from the weapon’s shot, a target is pushed away. If the Princess applied the Acqua upgrade to a weapon, the target is pushed up to half the creature’s walking speed away. Does not trigger an attack of opportunity. As ice forms on them, they lose their reaction until the end of your next turn.
Upgrade: Guiding Wind (Aria) The weapon’s shot guides itself around obstacles and strikes. Once per turn, if the Royal applied this upgrade to a weapon, and the attack roll misses, the Royal makes a new attack roll at -5 to use the wind to guide the shot back to the creature.
Upgrade: Burning (Fuoco) If the Princess applies the Fuoco upgrade to a weapon, and her target takes damage from it, the person is lit on fire. Every five feet the creature moves, they take 1d6 fire damage, when the creature attacks, they take 1d6 of fire damage.
Upgrade: Soothing (Legno) If the Princess applies the Legno upgrade to a weapon, and a target takes damage from it, a dose of an opiate enters his bloodstream, and he must roll a con save. If he fails, he suffers the effects of a dose of morphine and falls asleep.
Upgrade: Quaking (Terra) If the Princess applies the Terra upgrade to a weapon, the earth bucks under the target’s feet as the weapon’s shot strikes him. In addition to taking damage, the target must succeed on a Dex save or be knocked prone.
RANK 2 CHARMS
Charge
Rank 2
1 Action
No Cost

Honorable Duel
Rank 2
2 wips
1 action - Concentrate - 4 rounds
You target a creature and invite it to duel. The target makes
a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it moves 30 ft.
towards you on each of its turns and feels obliged to attack
only you.
Seeds of Light
Rank 2
Action/Duration: Special
Cost: Special
The Light exists within the world, within the hearts of all men. However, with will and effort, the Hopeful may calcify Wisps into gem-sized, imperishable Seeds, proof against the ravages of chance. Each Wisp spent on the Charm forms a separate Seed. The Princess does not have to decide how many Seeds to calcify beforehand; after spending 2 minutes of preparing, she starts to concentrate on her pool of Wisps. Each three successes accumulated allows the Princess to transform one Wisp into a Seed. The shape of a Seed is a profound expression of its creator’s soul, and is heavily influenced by the INvocation/Court Affinity Element (if any) applied in its making. (Applying Legno, for instance, often creates Seeds in the form of living, unchanging flowers - roses, in particular.) Any character examining a Seed, if they make a Insight-Charisma roll, can recognize a Seed as coming from the same hand as one they’ve seen before. To recover the Wisp from a Seed, a character must bring it into contact with their phylactery, and spend a minute in concentration. No actions may be performed while doing this, and the character is at disadvantage Perception, so deep is their focus. The Seed glows, and becomes incohesive, melting into their soul, and adding the Wisp to their pool. If the character’s Wisp pool is full, the Seed vaporizes and releases the Wisp into the air, where it dissipates. As tiny fragments of solidified Light, Seeds are incredibly alluring to creatures of the Darkness.

In a scintillating gust, the Princess’ body dissolves, flaking away into the air with a soft chuckle. Blue and white streamers track the motion of her wind-body, weaving in and out in the breeze with a soft radiance which glows brighter the faster she moves. If she is still, she’s almost invisible, only noticeable by the chill feel of the air and the breeze that stirs the area. If all the world’s a stage, then no one should notice the theatre’s manager, right? While in this state, the following abilities and changes to the Princess’ status apply:
• She is in the Ethereal Plane, and may not be harmed by anything which cannot reach into this realm.
• Likewise, she cannot interact with the mortal world, except by using a Charm or a power that normally allows touching things in Ethereal; and cannot apply any Invocation but Aria (use no other damage type other than lighting).
• While stationary, she is almost completely invisible (Disadvantage to Perception rolls to notice her). When she moves, others may make an -5 Perception roll to notice her, and if she dashes, normal roll; but she cannot be identified.
However, these benefits are secondary to the main purpose of the Charm. The Queen of Spades’ avatar is truly a power of connections and narrative, as befits the tales she tells of the world. Before rolling, the Princess declares a story which is to happen in the scene. It may be as complicated as she likes, although no specific names may be used; descriptions must be couched in narrative conceits, rather than specific descriptors. ”Red-haired maiden” is fine; ”Sally” is not. The Charm takes effect the turn after the Princess makes her last roll. Until it ends, every ally character within sensory range of the Princess can add 1d10 equal to the number of her success (minimum of 1) to any roll (check, save, attack, & damage) on any action they take which would advance the story she chose, and an equal penalty on enemies that will use any action opposed to that story; however, the bonus and penalty never exceed her Dex modifier (minimum of 1). A character who has Legendary Resistances cut’s the number or penalty dice in half (minimum of 1), as the force of their own self-determination rejects the tale that the Princess would tell upon fate. The Princess is not herself affected by the fate-bending story power; the stage manager isn’t part of the play, after all, even if she makes it all happen.

Big Shot
Rank 4
Requires: Ranged weapon, ranged attack roll
1 action
4 Wisps
The Princess conjures a ball that explodes in a gout of consuming fire. The ball is shot from the ranged weapon; when it hits, it explodes with a blast area or 40ft, dealing 8d6 Fuaco, and 4d8 force damage. The explosive is also an incendiary, anything damaged by it ignites (1d6 fire every round until put out). All such fires are mundane, though the attack itself is not. The Princess may hold the ball up to her Dex mod in turns, after which it explodes wherever it is, resulting in a backfire. Anyone in a 20ft radius takes the damage, including the user.
Upgrade: Charged Shot: 2 wisps extra: If the Big Shot is held for, Big Shot does an extra d6 of Fuaco for every round it is held. However, if held beyond maximum amount, the Charged Shot will also add to the backfire.

Failure: The animal does not understand the Princess, and behaves as it normally would.

Give Me Love
Rank 2
1 Action
2 wisps
Duration: Concentrate until lost
Cha Save
Give me peace on Earth. With their focus on harmony and understanding the Wilds are never entirely comfortable with controlling another’s opinions. Rather than making another want peace a Princess of Clubs might use this Charm to prevent violence, allowing her to pursue peace in more traditional ways: with hearts and voices. This Charm cannot be used if the Princess has attacked anyone or used a combat Charm within sight of the target.
Dramatic Failure: The Princess somehow manages to revert the Charm on herself. She cannot attack and suffers -2 AC from slightly constricting plant life. What’s more, any enemies in the area know it.
Failure: The Charm does not activate.
Success: Ghostly flowers appear on the target, vines wrapping around their limbs. If the target attempts to hurt anyone or use a hostile power they immediately grow tight and constricting, blocking the action entirely. Should the target himself be attacked or the subject of a hostile supernatural power (other than this Charm), or should his allies be attacked, then the Charm immediately ends. The Charm also ends immediately if the Princess attacks or uses a hostile Charm on anyone.
Exceptional Success: The Princess also gets a flash of insight into why her target wishes to fight. The grants +2 on any social rolls for the rest of the scene.
Upgrade: Collective Cost: +2 Wisps- The Princess may use the Charm on a social group that can see or hear her. Each member contests the effect independently.
Jar of Bees
Rank 3
3 wisps
1 action - persistent
Range: 30 ft

Sometimes, you just need to throw a jar of bees at the darkness. As your action, you use Legno to summon light construct bees to a small honey jar, which you hurl at the enemy.

Terra/Hearts :
Wearing a Heavy Crown:
5th Rank - Only Hearts
5 wisps
Duration: 1 scene
1 action
D20+charisma+proficency (beat their own spell save dc)
To be the Queen of Hearts’ avatar is to become the leader people need, the leader the people may one
day deserve. The Princess assumes that role and leads any who will follow to greatness. This Charm is
used on members of a social group who are willing to work at the Princess’ direction, or towards a goal
that she has set. She can let others come up with plans (what leader doesn’t have advisers?) but the
final decision of what the members do must rest on her shoulders alone.
Dramatic Failure: Nat1 or ten below their spell save- The Princess proves herself unworthy of leadership and may not use Terra again for 11 - 1d6 days.
Failure: from 1 under to 9 under their spell save - The Princess cannot claim a crown. The Charm fails.
Success: Match or beat their spell save - The Princess undergoes a second transformation; a heavy crown appears upon her brow. She may move her initiative position to go either before her companions or after them. When members of the target group are working as a team to carry out the Princess’ plans, the Crown will add the Circle's proficiency bonus halved (around down)to the Princess's final roll of that turn, be it an ability check or attack roll. If a Royal goes against the Hearts Royal's plan, their bonus will be subtracted from the roll.
Exceptional Success: Nat20 or 24+ Everyone blessed by this Charm also gains one (1) free use of a spell or charm known by the Hearts Royal (their decision and it is the same to everyone).
