Rebellious Defense

At 1st Level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a Shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

Rebellious Fists

At 1st Level, Your unarmed strikes deal 1d8 of bludgeoning damage + your Strength modifier. Additionally, while you are not using armor and are not holding a weapon, you may make an extra unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Rebellion Charges

At level 2, you start with 2 Rebellion Charges, and gain 2 additional charges every other level, as seen on the Rebellion Charges table.

• During a short rest, you may choose to regain Rebellion Charges instead of Hit Points.
• During a long rest, you still regain all your Hit Points and Hit Dice, but must use a Hit Dice to regain Rebellion Charges.

Partisan

At level 2, you may use 1 of your Rebellion Charges to use Partisan, summoning a physical manifestation of your will to slash down on your opponent.

• Partisan has a range of 25ft, and deals 2d8 Slashing damage to whoever you attack with it.
• If Partisan successfully hits, the target will have disadvantage on their attack rolls on their next turn.

Weapon of Rebellion

At 3rd Level, if you are wielding a weapon, you may use 1 of your Rebellion Charges to transform it into the Weapon of Rebellion as a bonus action, turning your weapon into a spear with the Rebel Corps flag on it. The Weapon of Rebellion has these properties:

• The Weapon of Rebellion uses your hit die, dealing 1d8 piercing or slashing damage.
• When you hit with a ranged attack using the Weapon of Rebellion, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll.
• The Flag of Rebellion will always be returned to you after thrown.
• You may add your proficiency bonus to rolling to hit with the Flag of Rebellion, but the proficiency bonus is not added to your damage.

The Weapon of Rebellion transforms back into your original weapon when the next battle you participate in ends.

You may do this twice before you must complete a short rest to be able to use Weapon of Rebellion again.

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.

Ambush

At 5th level, you may spend 2 Rebellion Charges to use Ambush as a Bonus Action, setting up a special Reaction.

While Ambush is set up, if an enemy attempts to move or perform an Action while they are within range of your firearm or other ranged weapon, you will automatically use Ambush, using your reaction to shoot at them. If your shot is a critical hit, they will stop moving completely.

Ambush does not remove your normal Reaction, and you may still take one before your next turn.

Follow Up

Additionally, at 5th level, if an enemy is knocked off of a higher elevation, you may use your Reaction to shoot your firearm at them. This attack is a guaranteed hit, but will only deal half the damage.

You may use this feature once before you need to complete a long rest to do it again. This upgrades to 2 times before completing a long rest when you reach 10th level.

Shining Partisan

At level 6, you may use 3 of your Rebellion Charges to use Shining Partisan, a version of Partisan that can hit multiple people.

• Shining Partisan has a range of 30ft, and has Square AOE of 10ft.
• Shining Partisan deals 2d6 Slashing damage to every enemy it hits.
• All targets successfully hit by Shining Partisan will have -1 to all their attack rolls on their next turn.

One More

At 7th level, if you or any ally lands a critical hit on a hostile creature, or deals damage to a hostile creature that is vulnerable to that type of damage, they may attack or use another ability once this turn (no action required). This feature can only trigger once per round per person. If the one who activated One More does not want to use this additional action, they may pass it to an ally who is within their movement range. This transition is called a Baton Pass.

• The ally must also be level 7 or higher to use One More upon meeting the requirements.

An example of the Triple Threat feature in Persona 5 Tactica

Triple Threat

At 9th level, if you have activated One More on an enemy this turn, you and 2 willing allies may perform Triple Threat. Each of you attack all enemies you surround in a triangle formation, dealing damage equal to your current weapon plus an additional 1d4 damage of the weapon's type. This uses up the Reaction of the allies. You and the allies that participated then need to complete a short rest before using this again. This feature requires at 2 participants.

Great Partisan

At level 10, you may use 5 of your Rebellion Charges to use Great Partisan, a stronger version of Partisan.

• Great Partisan has a range of 25ft, and deals 4d8 Slashing damage to whoever it hits.
• If Great Partisan successfully hits, the target will have disadvantage on their attack rolls for their next 2 turns.

At 11th level, when hiding behind cover during a battle, you may end your turn early to gain 2 Rebellion Charges.

You may not go above your max amount of Rebellion Charges using Soul Repose.

Once you use Soul Repose, you must complete a short rest before using it again.

Flag of Freedom

At 13th level, if you have the Weapon of Rebellion summoned, you may place it down anywhere in a 15ft radius around you at the cost of 5 Rebellion Charges. Placing the Flag of Freedom has these effects:

• You and all allies within a 35ft radius of the Flag of Freedom gain a +2 to their attack rolls, and deal 2 extra damage.
