Supporter
Not every adventure desires to be a hero. Some find their fulfillment and glory from helping others to succeed on their tasks, leading them to victory. Supporters are wise masters, dedicated squires, cheerful companions, that selflessly throw themselves into danger, with no desire for the spotlight. They want the conquests and rewards like any other dungeoneer, but unlike most, they don't look for personal fame, and rather stay in the shadows, fighting from the sidelines.

Helpful
Starting at 1st level, you can take the Help action as a bonus action. You can be within 30 feet of your ally, instead of 5 feet, to help it, but you and the target must be able to both see and communicate with each other.Encouraging Words
On the direst moments, you can give an ally moral aid. As a reaction when the target of your aid makes an attack roll, ability check or saving throw and is a viable target for the Helpful feature, you can allow that creature to make the roll at advantage. You can use this feature a number of times equal to a third of levels you have in this class (rounded down, minimum once). Once you spend all your uses of this feature, you can't do it again until you finish a long rest.Support
Starting at 2nd level, you can better support your allies. You develop special help techniques called support techniques. Support Dice Your willingness to help whenever possible is represented by the amount of support dice you have. You have four dice when you first learn this feature, gaining an additional one at 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th levels. Support Die Size Your support die is a d8. It grows to a d10 at 9th level and to a d12 at 13th level.Supportive Techniques
Everyone helps in their own way. You know three support techniques when you gain this feature. You learn an additional one at 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th levels.Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th,14th, 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.Coordinated Effort
At 5th level, you gain a special additional reaction once in each of your rounds. Whenever an ally within 30 feet hits a creature with a weapon attack, you can use that reaction to make an attack of your own against the same target.Resting Camp
Also at 5th level, you know how to prepare a comfortable and safe rest to your allies. Whenever you take a short or a long rest, you can prepare a camp. The camp cover an area of 30-foot radius, and takes 10 minutes to set up. While inside the camp, you and your allies gain a +5 bonus to Wisdom (Perception) checks. In addition, a short rest inside a camp can take 30 minutes to complete. After a creature benefit from this feature, it can't do it again for the next 8 hours, nor can that creature benefit from a short rest for the two hours.Continued Help
At 7th level, whenever you take the Help action to aid a creature on an attack or check, and the creature fail the check, the next time the creature attempt an attack against the same target or the same check, until the end of its next turn, the creature retains the Advantage.Supportive Aura
At 9th level, you exude an aura of support. All creatures of your choice in a 10-foot radius gain advantage on saving throws against the charmed or frightened condition. In addition whenever a creature in that area fails a saving throw, you can spend a support die as a reaction to add the result of the die to the roll of that creature.Improved Resting Camp
When you reach the 10th level, your resting camp makes your allies braver and willing to protect their safe place. The area within 1 mile of the resting camp have the following properties for any creature you choose to take part of these benefits: When you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to your Resting Camp area, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you’re proficient in. Hostile creatures have disadvantage on Wisdom (Survival) and (Perception) checks to find the camp, and on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to approach the camp unnoticed. Members of the camp foraging in the area find twice as much food as they normally would. Members of the camp add your Support die to their initiative rolls and damage rolls. This doesn't expend the die. Any creature that completes a short rest in the camp gain temporary hit points equal to a roll of your support die. This doesn't expend the die. Collective Accomplishment When you reach the 13th level, you rejoice in helping others to achieve their goals. Whenever a creature rolls a 20 on the d20 and succeed on an Attack or Ability Check, you regain all your Support Dice. Once you benefit from this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.Collective Encouragement
At 14th level, when you support an ally, other allies become inspired by their success. Whenever you spend a support die to aid a creature, you can use your reaction to aid another creature using the same technique, without spending an additional die. Both creatures must be within the technique's distance. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.Superior Resting Camp
At 15th level, your resting camp can fully restore the energy of your allies when they spend a night there. Up to four creatures that completes a long rest inside your camp gain the benefits of heroe's feast.Source of Assistance
Finally at 20th level, your supportiveness seems to be endless, increasing the more your allies need you. If you have no support die left, whenever you use your Helpful action on an ally and that ally succeed on the attack roll or ability check, you regain a die.Supportive Techniques
Escape Plan
When you take the Help action on an ally, you can spend one supportive die to allow that ally to escape an enemy. On its next turn, the target can take the Disengage action using its bonus action and have its movement speed increased by 10 feet. In addition, roll the die. Your target gains the number rolled in temporary hit points.Distract
You can distract an enemy, affording just enough time for an ally to step back. When an ally is hit by a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction and spend a support dice to reduce the damage taken by the number rolled on the die. Your target can then move up to 10 feet using its reaction, without provoking opportunity attacks.Point Weakness
If both you and an ally are within 5 feet of a hostile creature, you can detect a weak spot and advice an that ally how to attack it, using your bonus action and spending a support die. On its turn, if the ally hit that hostile creature with a melee weapon attack, the creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (reduced by the number rolled on the die). On a failure, that creature is stunned until the end of your next turn.Cutting Word
When a friendly creature within 30 feet would be hit by an attack, you can use you reaction to distract the attacker, and add your support die to the creature's AC against that attack, potentially causing the attack to miss.Mend
You can make a Medicine (Wisdom) check as a bonus action on a creature within 5 feet, spending a support dice, if you have a healer's kit on hand. This spends an use of the healer's kit. The target regains a number of hit points equal to the number rolled + your Wisdom modifier. If the creature is poisoned, you can choose to end that condition instead of restoring hit points.Correcting the Strike
When a creature you helped to attack fail the attack roll, you can spend a support dice to allow that creature to reroll the attack. On a hit, you add the number rolled on the support die to the result of the attack.Lend a Hand
Whenever a friendly creature falls prone within 5 feet of you can use your reaction and spend a support dice to cause that creature to get up, without spending movement. You can also use this on your turn if you are within 5 feet of a prone allied creature, using a bonus action. Your ally is encouraged by the kindness of this act, gaining temporary hit points equal to the number rolled in the support die.Untangle
When you are within 5 feet of an ally that is grappled or restrained, you can spend a support die to reroll the saving throw or ability check against the effect restraining or grappling them, adding the superiority die to the result.subclass options:
