Chair Bond

At 1st level, you form a deep bond with a specific chair that resonates with your spirit. This chair becomes your "Favored Chair." You can summon your Favored Chair as an action. When you summon it, it appears in your hands, you can only summon your chair once per Short Rest. If your Favored Chair is broken, you can make a new chair your Favored Chair by sitting on it during a short rest.

Chair Weapon

Starting at 1st level, your proficiency with chairs allows you to use them as specialised weapons. Any chair wielded by you as a weapon with the following attributes: 1D6 Bludgeoning, Versatile (1D8), 4 lb, Thrown (Range 20/60)

Variant Rule - Seated Sage at level 1

For some characters it makes more sense that they begin their journey as a seated sage (Subclass). Whether this be because they are chairbound, they lack an athletic background, or for another reason that adds flavor to the character, the option is made available here.

When using this variant rule, you make the following changes at level 1

You gain the following seated sage features at level 1, rather than at level 3

• Mobile Chair
• Chairlekinesis
• Cantrips

Skill proficiencies

When choosing skill proficiencies the options of Athletics and Acrobatics are replaced with Arcana and History.

Chairful Consideration

At 2nd level, you have uncovered a meditative state available to you when sitting on chairs that improves your problem-solving skills and creative thinking. You gain 2 forethought dice (D8). These forethought dice are locked to you, and can become available for 1 hour if you spend 1 minute pondering a situation or intended course of action while seated in a chair. After doing so, for 1 hour, any time you make an ability check or saving throw that relates to what you pondered, after you have rolled your dice, but before the DM has narrated the outcome, you can choose to roll 1 of the forethought and add the roll to the check. Once used the forethought die has been expended and cannot be used again until you have completed a short rest. At higher levels you get extra forethought dice: 3D8 at level 5, 4D8 at level 8, 5D8 at level 11, 6D8 at level 14, 7D8 at level 17, and 8D8 a level 20.

Jack of all Chairs

Starting at 3rd level, your familiarity with chairs as tools has grown significantly. Whenever you are making an ability check you can choose to use a chair to assist you. When using the chair, you can add half your proficiency bonus rounded down to the roll. This applies regardless of whether you are already proficient in the ability.

Preferred Seating Subclass

At 3rd level, you chose a Preferred Seating. Choose between Bar Breaker, Chairiot Master, or Seated Sage, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at various levels depending on the chosen subclass.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 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.

Receipt of Chairity

Starting at 9th level, your bond with chairs has grown so strong that you call them to you with a mere thought. As an action, you can summon any chair within 30 feet of you into your hand. The chair must be of a size that you could reasonably wield as a weapon or hold as a shield. This ability works on any chair that is not held, sat on, or bolted down even if the chair is in a different room or area, as long as it's within range. If there are no nearby chairs then you are aware of this. The chair does not teleport to your hands, instead it flies through the air towards you and is automatically caught by you. You can choose to spend one forethought die to summon the chair as a free action, if you make an attack with the summoned chair on the same turn it was summoned, roll the forethought die and add the amount rolled to the damage roll.

Additionally you can summon your favored chair as a bonus action as long as it is on the same plane of existence as you.

Bar-stool Breaker

Your time spent in pubs and arenas, breaking chairs over others, and having chairs broken on you, has given you an innate understanding of how to wield chairs in combat.

Chair Defense

At 3rd level, you learn to wield chairs in a way that makes optimal use of their size and shape for blocking and redirecting attacks. Whenever you are wielding a chair with two hands your AC is increased by 1.

Chair Brawler

At 3rd level, you have spent enough time pondering fights that you can call upon your forethought dice for combat at any time. Whenever you make an attack roll or saving throw against an attack, you can expend one forethought die, adding the number to your roll. The expended die cannot be used until you finish a short rest, and is excluded from the number of forethought dice you get when using the chairful consideration ability.

Heavy Hitter

Starting at 3rd level, chairs used by you now do 1D8 damage (1D10 versatile).

Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you become highly effective at swinging barstools and table chairs. When wielding a Barstool, Table Chair, or Folding Chair, you can make two attacks when you make an attack action. At higher levels you can do more attacks, with 3 attacks per action at level 11, and 4 attacks at level 20.

Conditioning

At 7th level, you have honed your body’s natural defences and reflexively use chairs to protect yourself. As a bonus action, you can expend 1 forethought die, rolling it and using the roll to either reduce all all non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage by the amount rolled (to a minimum of 1) for 1 minute, or all damage types until the start of your next turn.

Out of Nowhere

At 8th level, when you make a melee weapon attack using a chair against a creature that made an attack action against a creature other than you on their last turn, you can count a D20 roll of 19 or 20 as a critical hit. At level 18, when this ability applies, you count a D20 roll of 18, 19, or 20 as a critical hit.

Fighting Style

At 10th level you develop a unique way of wielding chairs as weapons. Pick one of the following fighting styles:

Defense

While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Energised Chairs

You can push your own energy through chairs you wield as weapons. All damage you deal using chairs becomes magic force damage.

Chairifying Swings

When you wield a chair with two hands, the damage die becomes 2D6.

Chairtapult

Allows you to to telekinetically throw chairs instead of summoning them. When using your Receipt of Chairity ability to summon a nearby chair, you can instead choose for that the chair be propelled in a 30 foot line in any direction from its starting point. If the chair would hit a creature, that creature must make a Dexterity saving throw equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma Modifier. On a failed save the creature takes 1D10 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 10 feet in the direction the chair was moving. If the creature is using cover and the chair does not have to move through the cover to reach the creature, then the creature gains no benefit from that cover when making their Dexterity saving throw. Additionally, when you throw a chair as an attack action it does does extra damage equal to half your Chairmaster level rounded down.

Chairicade

You expand the amount of cover you have using your chair. ½ cover becomes ¾ cover, and ¾ cover becomes full cover. At the DM’s discretion an object that provides no cover by itself (such as a knee high wall or coffee table) may be used to provide ½ cover using this ability.

Stilleto-Leg Defense

The legs of your chair are fitted with sharpened points and can be used to fend attacks from many directions. As an action you can take a defensive stance that lasts until the start of your next turn. While in this stance, any creature that targets you with melee attack must make a Dexterity saving throw equal to 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a fail they have disadvantage on their attack rolls, and suffer 2D4 Piercing damage for every melee attack that fails to hit.

Shattered Chairmories

At 12th level, you have learned to perfectly break chairs on your targets. When a melee attack with a chair successfully hits your target, you can choose to expend 2 forethought dice to make the chair break apart in a spectacular fashion. The target takes a bonus 2D8 damage and must make a constitution saving throw of a difficulty equal to 8 plus your charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus, on a fail the target has the stunned condition for 1 minute. The target makes another saving throw at the start of each of their turns, ending the stun on a success. When doing this you lose any remaining attacks in your attack action (Such as from extra-attack) and your chair is destroyed. If this attack puts a creature into saving throws and that creature becomes unconscious as a result, then the creature loses all memory of the combat (Up to 10 minutes), and all events from the 1-minute period that preceded the combat (Unless the combat exceeded 10 minutes).

Additionally, any time you score a critical hit on a creature with a melee chair attack, you can choose to break the chair over them without needing to expend any forethought dice. The creature must make a constitution saving throw, on a fail they are stunned for one minute, making another saving throw at the start of each turn, ending the stun on a success. When doing this you lose any remaining attacks in your attack action (Such as from extra-attack) and your chair is destroyed.

Greater Chairity

At level 12 you have learned to summon any chair as though it were you favored chair, even if there are no chairs nearby. The chair appears in your hand, and comes from any place in the world of the DM's choosing, which could be a plane of chairs, a farmers home, or a bustling tavern.

Additionally, if you have broken your favored chair using the Shattered Chairmories ability, you can summon a new chair from the plane of chairs as a free action. The new chair is identical to your previous favored chair, and immediately becomes your favored chair.

Chair Scrapper

At 15th level, you have become one with any chair you wield, and can make subtle changes to improve the damage you do. Any time you roll a natural 1 on an attack roll or saving throw, you can choose to expend one forethought die to make the roll again. When redoing the roll, roll an additional 1D8 and add the amount to the roll, if the sum of the D20 and D8 is equal to or higher than a 20 without modifiers then the hit is a critical success. If the D20 rolls a 1 then the D8 is ignored for the sake of the critical failure.

Superior Conditioning

At 20th level you have honed your natural defences when wielding chairs to the ultimate level. When a creature successfully hits you with a melee attack on their own turn, you can use your reaction to halve all damage dealt by that creature to you until the end of their turn. Additionally you can apply your conditioning damage reduction to any damage coming from an attack that requires a Dexterity saving throw.

Chairiot Master

Your tireless use of recliners, couches, and other comfort chairs as your favored chair has developed into a beautiful emotional connection that resulted in your chair coming to life. Your favored chair is now a couch, recliner, chaise, or other form of lounging chair of your choice. It has become your steed, pet, and best friend.

Bonus Proficiencies

At 3rd level, when you choose this subclass, you gain proficiency in Lances and Vehicles (Land).

Chairiot

At 3rd level, your Favoured Chair evolves into a large, sentient piece of furniture, such as a couch, recliner, or chaise lounge. This Living Couch becomes your steadfast companion and mount.

In combat, the defender shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours (Unless Mounted). It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your Carpenters’ tools to revive it during a short rest.

At the end of a long rest, you can create a new chariot if you have Carpenters’ tools with you. If you already have a chariot from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. If you die your Chariot waits by your side, reverting to inanimate furniture after 10 full days.

Mounted Combat
