Mistborn
Coin after coin slams into the troll, launched from the small female human shrouded in a black cloak. Roaring, the troll collapses into a bloody heap. A smug halfling sits in the corner of the tavern, watching the emotions in the room grow ever tenser. When the tension finally leads to violence, the halfing silently laughs and quickly leaves the inn. The goblin slams slash after slash into the elf, even as more wounds form, the old wounds are healed. The elf slams a punch into the goblin's face sending him flying. All of these characters are Mistborn, masters of the metals. Channeling the power of Preservation through the metals, Mistborn are forces to be reckoned with in every situation.

Mistborn Features
Metallurgy
At level 1, you have a set of metallurgist's tools, and understand metals. You understand basic alloys and properties of most metals. Using a allomantic vial or a small allomantic vial, you can create a vial of metals (A vial holds 8 ounces, while a small vial holds 1 ounce). During a long or short rest, you can fill that vial with ounces of any combination of allomantic metals until that vial is full. You can drink one of these vials on your turn (A small vial takes a bonus action, while a vial takes a whole action) each ounce of metal that you ingest grants you 1 metal slot in that metal (To your maximum metal store). If you take a long rest while you still have metal slots remaining, for the next 24 hours you become poisoned, are unable to begin burning metals, and lose all metal stores you currently have.
Burning
At first level, you gain the ability to "Burn" or Channel the power of Preservation through any of your understood metals. You you are able to ingest and burn any metals that you understand (The number you can understand is listed in the Metals understood tab at each Level). As an bonus action on your turn, you can begin to burn 1 duration metal at any of the power levels available to you (Weak, Strong, and Burn are usable at level 1 while Flare is usable once you reach level 7). When you do this, if the chosen metal has any beginning of turn features, those trigger now. When you ingest metals to gain slots, you can only have slots equal to your Maximum Slots Per Metal, example: Billy creates a level 1 Mistborn he chooses to understand Iron, Steel, Tin, and Pewter. This means he can only have 4 iron slots, 4 steel slots, 4 tin slots, and 4 pewter slots if he were to drink a fifth iron vial he wouldn't get a fifth iron slot (so you can't drink a million vials before a battle and never run out). You can change the power level or stop burning a metal as a bonus action. There are two types of metals: action metals and duration metals, each metal type acts differently when being burned. Action Metal: On your turn you can use your action to activate the effect of that metal at any of your burn levels. Duration Metal: At the beginning of each turn that you are burning a duration metal, spend metal slots of that metal that are equivalent to the amount that the level that you are burning that metal at requires. When an ability in this class causes a creature to make a save that does not have a set DC, use your allomantic save DC which is equal to: 8 + Your proficiency bonus + Your wisdom modifier
- Metal Sickness
If you leave metals in your system when you go to sleep they will poison you.
| Impure Metal Burning | Sleeping Metal Sickness |
|---|---|
| No Negative Effects | 0 to 10 ounces of metals left in your system. |
| Minor Metal Sickness: add one level of exhaustion | 10 to 20 ounces of metals left in your system. |
| Moderate Metal Sickness: add two levels of exhaustion | 20-50 ounces of metals left in your system. |
| Major Metal Sickness: add three levels of exhaustion | 50-90 ounces of metals left in your system. |
| Deathly Metal Sickness: add four levels of exhaustion | >90 ounces of metals left in your system. |
Fighting Styles
At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options, you cannot adopt the same style twice even if you have a chance to receive another fighting style.

- Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

- Stronger Allomancer
Push and Pull attacks gain 1d4 to the damage roll.
Allomantic Specialty
At level 3, you choose an Allomantic Specialty: Temporal Allomancer, Battle Allomancer or Mental Allomancer. This choice gives you additional abilities at levels 6, 11, and 17.
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.
Extra Attack
At 5th level, Whenever you choose the attack action on your turn, you may perform 2 attacks instead of 1.
Flaring
At 7th level, When you begin to burn a metal, or change the level of your burn, you can burn at the flare level.
Allomantic Reflexes
At 9th level your understanding of metals allows you to further enhance your reflexes while burning them. If an enemy moves to a point inside of or leaves a 20-foot sphere around you, you can expend your reaction to activate the weak form of one of your action metals (this burns twice as many of your stores as normal). You need to finish a short rest before you can use this feature again. At level 18 You can use the feature twice. The action metal used must have a weak power level defined.
Improved Metallurgy
At 10th level you become more skilled in the manipulation of metal mixtures and compounds. When you create a vial of metal you can use a large vial 2.56 lbs. (Stores 16 ounces and requires an action and a bonus action to drink). Also, you may treat any of your vials as containing one additional ounce maximum when creating it and ingesting it.
Evasion
Beginning at 13th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Quick Allomancy
At level 14 you can perform an additional allomantic action on your turn. (This burn cannot be at flare level) You need to finish a short rest before you can use this feature again.
Atium
At level 15, you now can ingest and burn Atium. This metal is the physical body of the ancient god Ruin and is very expensive to find, and even more challenging to mine. Because of this, it costs 700 GP to acquire an ounce of atium. (Atium does not require a slot in metals understood)
One With Preservation
You have mastered the ability to gain power from the very air itself. At level 20 you can call on the power of Preservation. White mists start seething out and back into your body, fill 2 of your metal slots to your metal slots maximum. You can also push and pull metals that are inside of, or impaled in living creatures, push on Aluminum and affect the minds of people wearing aluminum helmets with Zinc and Brass. You need to finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.
Allomantic Specialties
Mistborn have many abilities utilized by all, but some specialize in specific abilities.
Temporal Allomancer
A temporal Allomancer utilizes Gold, Electrum, Bendalloy/Cerrobend, and Cadmium to see into the near future or manipulate how time travels near them. Through this use of manipulation they are always one step ahead on the battlefield and in peacetime.
- Masks of Gold
Beginning at 3rd level, when use you the ability of gold you may choose two important decisions or choose another choice from your important decision you already chose. An additional shadow appears that matches what you would be like in either of those cases. When you use the second ability of gold you may adapt one of your shadow's personalities and can switch between them as a bonus action.
- Chronostamina
Starting at 3rd level, you are not affected negatively by changes in time travel speed such as the lethargy caused by the end of haste or the leaving or entering cadmium or bendalloy bubbles. Additionally, you are unaffected by the slow spell and the time stop spell. The effect of a cadmium bubble still affects you.
- Splitting the Shadow
Beginning at 6th level, you deepen your understanding of electrum and use it to counter the predictions of your enemies. You may choose two courses of action when you burn electrum. Additionally, while you are burning electrum, once per round when a creature has advantage on an attack against you, you may cause that creature to lose advantage on its attack against you.
- Efficient Temporal Burning
Starting at 11th level, you learn to burn Cadmium and/or Cerrobend/Bendalloy at a more efficient level, gaining the same effects for less expended metal. When you are maintaining a sphere of Cadmium or Cerrobend/Bendalloy you only have to burn one slot a round to maintain your sphere.
- Potent Temporal Manipulation
Beginning at 17th level, you learn to make you Cadmium and Cerrobend/Bendalloy much more potent. A creature in your Cadmium bubble suffers a -4 penalty to AC and Dexterity saving throws instead of a -2 penalty, and must roll an 15 or higher to cast a spell with a casting time of one action. A creature in your Cerrobend/Bendalloy bubble gains a +4 bonus to AC instead of a +2 and can perform two additional actions on each of its turns.
Battle Allomancer
A battle Allomancer is a force to be reckoned with, a blur of metal as blade after blade slips past them, deflected by their metals. Their blades slam with supernatural power, and their enhanced body can take far more of a beating than the normal human.
- Metal Deflection

At level 3, you gain proficiency in your choice of Persuasion or Deception.
- Two Pronged Manipulation

- Quick Thinking

- Crushing Emotions
