Spiral Power[edit]
Beginning at level 1, an unknown power rises within you, yet even unknown, it will be your key to success. Your amount of Spiral Power will increase with every level. This power will help with features you will achieve later on. You regain uses of all Spiral Power after a long rest, but regain Spiral Power up to your level after a short rest.
Courageous Conversion[edit]
Through your growing will and determination, your weapons too will adapt to your powerful soul. Starting at level 2, you may use 1 Spiral Power to turn your weapon into a variation of a drill. Whether a sword, turning into a spiraling blade, or a bow having it's arrows tipped with drills. During this transformation, your weapon is considered silvered, and gain a +1 to attack and damage. This transformation lasts for 5 of your turns. This bonus increases to a +2 to attack and damage at level 8 and a +3 at level 16.
Roundabout Burrow[edit]
Additionally, you may use your weapon to burrow under the ground, leaving a tunnel behind you. You gain a burrowing speed equal to your movement speed minus 20, and is increased by 10 at level 6. Creatures of size medium or smaller can easily follow behind in this tunnel. While under the ground, you gain total cover and burrowing in this manner can break through dirt, wood and stone.
Spiral Striking[edit]
Continuing at level 2, while your weapon is transformed, you figured you may spin it to make it deal further damage. While a weapon is under the effects of Courageous Conversion, it deals 1d8 piercing of extra damage by the cost of Spiral Power equal to your proficiency bonus, for example, 1d8 for 1 Spiral Power, 3d8 for 3 Spiral Power, but if your proficiency bonus is 3, then your bonus die maximum is 3d8.
Unarmored Defense[edit]
Beginning at 3rd level, while not wearing armor your AC equals 10 + Intelligence Modifier + Strength Modifier. This is not removed while using shields.
Spiral Destiny[edit]
At 3rd level, you chose a Spiral Destiny. Choose between the subclasses listed below, detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at level 3 and again at level 6, 8, 11, 14 and 18.
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
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. In addition, you have the option to take a Spiral Upgrade instead, which are listed at the bottom of the class.
Extra Attack[edit]
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. The number of attacks increases to three at 12th level.
Spiral Determination[edit]
At level 6, your eyes begin to glow a glistening green, or red if you are the "Destiny of the Fallen Hero" subclass, and you may access a way of determination that raises your power to the limit! As a free action, you may gain advantage for free on your turn when making an attack. You can use this feature an amount of times equal to your Intelligence modifier. This feature can be used several times per turn, depending on the amount of attacks you have. Every attack you use at advantage uses up one use of this feature. Uses of this feature refuel after a Short Rest.
Gunman[edit]
Starting at level 6, your soul calls out to the stars above and they head your call. With your drill, you are capable to harness the power of the stars and for the very first time you may summon an ancient body from long ago. It is shaped as how you want it to be. A new ally and weapon to your arsenal. A Gunman!
The Gunman requires you to take an action to summon it around your body, as it is summoned from and around the drill, as it pushes away objects and people as to make room.
Your Gunman gains these attributes:

Additionally, you can swap which of the physical stats are your primary, but the other two are secondary.
- The Gunman in general is not a living creature, however it runs on life energy, so it is not an object either. It is immune to the Frightened, Deafened, Exhaustion, Poisoned, Unconscious and Charmed conditions, however, if you are inside of it, you have advantage against all conditions listed above except Unconscious.
- It is immune to Psychic damage, so you take it instead.

Giga... Drill... BREAK![edit]
Starting at level 10, you are able to use an extremely powerful drill attack to blow your enemies away. As a melee attack, you may spend 4 Spiral Power to manifest a part of your Gunman into a drill. As a full turn action, you thrust yourself forward an amount of feet equal to your movement speed and deal 8d8 Magical Piercing damage, and hitting an enemy in this way allows you to change direction, and travel an additional 10 feet. Moving in this way does not provoke opportunity attack.

The total damage increases by 1d8 at level 13, 16 and 20 and the price increases by 1 Spiral Power, and the amount of times you can perform the attack is equal to your Intelligence Modifier at level 18. This attack takes a full turn action to use, and does not benefit from Extra Attack.
"Manly Combining!"[edit]
Continuing at level 10, your soul has begun to merge with your drill necklace, and it gives a powerful idea. You're gonna combine!... but with what? When you find a creature of the Construct typing, you can contest a Intelligence check vs Constitution saving throw or take over the creature's body using your Gunman. You gain disadvantage in this save if the creature is Huge or larger. When a creature has been taken over, you now control the creature through the Gunman. In addition, immunities from the creature's sheet are turned into resistances. The creature gains these benefits: (It is advised to create a separate sheet for this, as it is another creature, and you somewhat are just upgrading it.)
The DC for the saving throw is 15, however increases by 5 every size class the creature is.

In additional, you gain a swimming speed equal to half of your movement speed.
The Final Stretch[edit]

You can only target one creature at a time with this attack, and if I creature is at 100 Hit Points or fewer, it dies instantly. If it is above 100 Hit Points, it takes 21d8 Magical Piercing Damage.

Every creature within a 60 ft radius of you must make a DC 26 Dexterity saving throw or take all damage you have suffered in Magical Force, half on a success This attack and it's damage cannot be reduced, evaded, avoided or neglected in any way.
Destinies of the Spiral[edit]
The Destiny of the Digger[edit]
You are one who has lived your life under your village's influences, obsessed with digging holes to grow the size of your village with no question about it, no clear reason other than your ancestors did it before you, nothing more and nothing less, almost as if you were a puppet, bound to a string. One day, something popped into your head, something came clear, it was the idea that you were doing all this for no reason at all, and you felt like you were a person that could do more than just dig.
- Digger's Dirty Nose
Starting at level 3rd level, you feel like you've grown accustom to finding your way through tunnels, as well as making them. Your tunneling speed is, instead of decreasing by 20 from your Courageous Conversion's Roundabout Burrow feature, your tunneling speed decreases by 10, and by level 6 by none and by level 12 you gain an additional 10 to tunneling speed.
- "This is... My Drill!"
Beginning at level 6, when an ally of yours has 0 hit points left, you may go into a strong rage to avenge your fallen ally!

In this rage, you no longer use Spiral Power in any shape or form when doing any sort of action or reaction, these benefits carry over to your Gunman as well. When you are knocked to 0 hit points or below, you get back up, whether you like it or not, and get 2d8 + Gunman Pilot Level's worth of hit points back!
- Drill Addon
At level 8, your Gunman's burrowing speed is equal to your normal movement speed, instead of just half, you are a digger after all, you have to make sure you are always ready for the job.

You also notice that your Gunman looks more sleek,
- “If there’s no road, we’ll forge it with our own hands!”
Beginning at level 14, you begin to kick reasoning to the curb when you fight, and abandon all consequences just to attack back. By using 4 Spiral Points you may make an attack against an enemy as a reaction to them missing you with an attack.
- "Lagann Impact!"
Upon Reaching level 18, you may turn your Gunman's limbs into a big drill that replaces it's waist to create a giant attack to bring down on your enemies! By using 10 Spiral Power and an action, you may use your movement speed to fly a minimum 30 feet into the air and come down on your enemy, on impact you deal 8d8 Magical Piercing Damage. You do not take fall damage from this height. Every 10 feet further you travel up you begin to build fall damage, 1d6 Bludgeoning for every 10 feet. However, the higher you go, the more damage you may deal, as with the higher you go, the more damage you may add to your attack. Once you get to your selected height, you may come down to level as another action, resulting in both your opponent and you taking the falling damage as damage in addition to the 8d8 Magical Piercing, however only your opponent takes the Magical Piercing.
The Destiny of the Blood Brother[edit]
You were never one to take others for your leader, always a strong, independent lad or las who took no crap from anything or anyone!

- "Believe in the you that I believe in."
By using a bonus action, at level 3, you can inspire your teammates with very motivational words and they take it to heart. As a free action for one round, your selected ally gets a plus 1d4 to any one saving throw, check rolls, attack rolls and damage rolls. You can only inspire one teammate and a time, since it costs a bonus action to use.
- "Let's see ya grit those teeth!"
Beginning at level 6, your inspiration die increases from 1d4 to 2d4 and lasts for two rounds, but still limited to one target, but you sacrifice 5 hit points in exchange for these increases.
- Sword Addon

Continuing to level 11, when you use your "Manly Combining!" feature successful, you can add a feature onto your combination. Your combination receives not only a sick pair of shades on your combination, said shades may be used the exact same way as the Sword Addon feature of your subclass. You have also noticed how absolutely amazing your Gunman Combination is looking right about now, it shines with a brotherly power!
- “We, brawlers, are sustained by willpower even when mocked as reckless and crazy!”
Starting at level 14, your inspirational words are becoming sharper than how you look.

The creature is released automatically after two rounds pass.

At level 12, your Unarmed Strikes do as much damage as your Gunman's and you do not suffer the effects of exhaustion after you disengage this form.
Once you reach level 14, you may use the feature Spiral Striking with your Unarmed Strikes while in this transformation.
- Heavy Hitter Addon
At level 8, your Gunman is given a rather special type of attacking and design, thin dark tendrils and destructive fists. Your Gunman's fists become capable of crushing Adamantine, like if they were made of it, allowing you to deal 3d6 Bludgeoning damage replacing the normal unarmed damage of the Gunman and your weapon of choice, as well as have a new attack, using a tendril attack that can deal 1d4 Piercing damage, however, you may use an attack with tendrils to apply the stunned effect on a target from 10 feet away, forcing them to make a DC 12 + your Intelligence modifier Constitution saving throw or be stunnd until their next turn. However, for those who are stuck in never-ending paralysis, the DC for not being paralyzed decreases by 2 each time you fail in a row.
- Fallen Hero's Enhancement
Continuing to level 11, when you use your "Manly Combining!" feature successful, you can add a feature onto your combination. Not only does your combination take on a nice, black sleek look to it, it also gets a tail, tendrils and strong arms. Your combination is able to use the Heavy Hitter Addon feature from your subclass, allowing it to use it to it's fullest extent. Your Gunman Combination looks like it's only fit for royalty, it has taken on a menacing aura, one that can rule with over a race.
- "It is I who is the guardian of humanity."
Beginning at level 14, you have thought long and hard on how to help your allies, and yourself if you have none, and even the world! For 50 Spiral Power and 400 gold, you may create a vat that is 8 feet tall out of one of your Gunman's arms, or 100 Spiral Power and 800 gold for both. This Spiral Power can be stored in the vat like a bank until the requirement is met. In these vats you can cultivate and bring forth new life named a "Beastmen" by putting these ingredients in each vat:
- Enough water to fill 90% of the vat.
- An empty size large, medium or small humanoid husk that is made of wood, clay, mud or metal. (Optionally, a dead body no older than 3 days, when you begin the process of creating this creature, decomposition stops once the process starts.)
- DNA of a single humanoid. (Blood, hair, etc.)
- DNA of a single animal that is in the range of CR 0-2. (Blood, hair, etc.)
- 3 other factors you desire the creature to take on. (Anything relating to a damage type, anything relating to appearance and colors you want the creature to have.)
After these requirements are met, you must take a long rest inside your Gunman's cockpit to fill both vats, before the full 30 day long process will begin to create a creature. You can only have a maximum amount of 2 Beastmen created a month. The 30 day long period requires no harm to the vats or Gunman, and must be kept very safe, the vats themselves have 20 Hit Points, and if the vats are destroyed then all materials inside are destroyed and turned into green glowing Spiral liquid that has the same composition and uses as water.
Once the 30 day long wait for the creatures to be created is done, the Beastmen will leave the vats, destroying them entirely. The gold and metal used to create the vats is destroyed and your Gunman's arms return to normal. Once the Beastmen are unleashed, they will have features similar to the humanoid husk and both DNA samples you gave to it. The Beastmen obtain the following upon awakening:
- The movement speed of the creature it is based off of or a human's base speed +5.
- Stats of a Commoner or animal you took the DNA from. (Can be interchangeable if one stat score is better than the other, this applies to every stat score separately. Example: You can choose a Cat's Dexterity score, but not it's Strength score.)
- All features, other speeds, skills, senses, ac+ your Intelligence, languages +Common and one other language you wish for it to know and actions of the creature it got it's DNA from.
- It's base health is 3d10+ your Intelligence score.
- Is permanently charmed by you, but however has it's own mind, thoughts and conscious.
- Are considered NPCs under the DM's control.
- Emporer of The Spiral
At level 18, your Spiral Power is overflowing with power, as your body is becoming almost more powerful than your Gunman and your body becomes more bulky and powerful! When entering this form, you gain the following benefits in addition to all features from "I should have known I couldn't trust a Gunman to do the job!":
- Your ac increases by an additional +2 if not wearing armor.
- Your Strength and Constitution increase by an additional 2, to a max of 24.
- You are capable of using every feature and benefit your Gunman has, and your unarmed strikes deal 3d8 Magical Bludgeoning. You do not gain the Temporary Hit Points your Gunman has.
(This benefit does not include "Manly Combining", as you are not your Gunman.)
- You gain 30 Temporary Hit Points
When in this form, your Spiral Power total increases by 20, however this form takes 6 Spiral Power to maintain every round. Once you reach 0 Spiral Power, this form and it's benefits vanish. You can disengage from this transformation as an action, as you begin to quell your Spiral Power's strength.
The Destiny of the Abandoned[edit]
You have been abandoned before, and if not it surely will come, but when? Well, there is only one way to stop it from happening again and that is to help your allies you meet along the way with your endless support and charm!

Additionally, once per combat you may force any hostile creature that is not immune to being charmed to roll a DC Intelligence mod + Charisma mod + 10 Charisma saving throw or become charmed by you. This effect lasts for a minute, but the save may be repeated at the end of their turn. Some creatures may even regard you as "As handsome as a prince/princess!"
- "Our Spirit are infinite!”
At level 6, you are able to heal those around you mentally and physically! You may use 3 Spiral Power to heal your allies or yourself for 2d4 + your Intelligence using a bonus action. An added effect is that they feel much calmer.
- Heal Staff Addon
At level 8, your Gunman is being used primarily for taking lots of blows and healing allies, rather than hitting hard, that does not mean it can't. Your healing also increases what you could heal before to 2d10 + your Gunman's Dexterity mod by using 4 Spiral Power, additionally, your mech is able to fly equal to your movement speed with no extra cost.
- Abandoned's Enhancement
Continuing to level 11, when you use your "Manly Combining!" feature successful, you can add a feature onto your combination. Your combination mech can now take on the healing mechanics from your previous feature of this subclass, allowing to heal comrades, while still being able to deal damage. Your Gunman Combination looks like it can make people safe just by looking at it, looking peaceful and graceful.
- “Do you want to die? If you’re scared, it’s okay to run.”
Beginning at level 14, your healing capabilities are beginning to become stronger and grow in strength with every time you use them. By using 6 Spiral Power, you may use the spell Heal, however it is bound to a range of touch instead of 60 feet.
- Eternally Aiding Blast

Spiral Upgrades[edit]

Spiral Power Improvement[edit]

Beastmen Bring Out[edit]
Your form feels inferior to how another could be, so you will change that! However... this will come at a cost... When you take this feat, your form changes from humanoid to look similar to any animal of the Beast creature typing of your choice. When you are transformed into this hybrid, you may take all sense, features, speeds and one action from these creatures, and may change this action at the end of a short rest or with 2 Spiral Power and a bonus action. You cannot choose a creature that is a higher CR than half of your Gunman Pilot level, and the minimum you of CR you can choose from is 2. However, the penalty is that your Spiral Power maximum is decreased by 8 - Constitution modifier. Additionally, all features of this class that have the name "Spiral" in it is changed to "Solar". (Exampke: Spiral Power is Solar Power, Spiral Determination is now Solar Determination, ETC.)
Anti-Spiral Alteration[edit]
Your form was not meant to be how it seems, whether you are a messenger from a higher being from the cosmos or are born this way to your knowledge, you are different than normal Spiral beings. As an Anti-Spiral being that is still a Spiral Being, you are capable of using Anti-Spiral, a special kind of Spiral Power that, instead of Spiral Power using willpower and determination leading to infinity, Anti-Spiral Power uses fear and hopelessness to lead to the inverse of infinity. You have an amount of Anti-Spiral Power equal to your proficiency bonus and regain 2 Anti-Spiral after a long rest. When you are affected by the Frightened (SRD Term) condition, you can turn your hopelessness into power and gain a +5 to movement speed when approaching the creature you are frightened by and gain a +2 to damage and attack against the creature. Additionally, for 1 Anti-Spiral Power you can cause yourself to feel hopeless in the face of danger and gain the Frightened (SRD Term) condition. At the end of each of your turns, you must roll a DC of 16 Charisma saving throw to break out of your hopeless form. Your Spiral Power with this feat turns into a illuminating purple, however if your character develops far enough to surpass their hopelessness and give in to willpower and determination, the color of your Spiral Power changes to a bright bluish silver.
"It's a place for Manly Souls."[edit]
You have grown very fond of your home and places you can call home! When in a place you have taken a minimum of 3 long rests in with no hostile presences nearby or in range to worry about, you gain a +2 to Wisdom and a +1 to Constitution.
"I can't just stand around while you get yourself killed!"[edit]
