River Warrior Cat[edit]
"Nothing can stand against the force of water, just as nothing can defeat RiverClan warriors when we rise up together. But when trouble comes, RiverClan knows how to weave through the dangers, adapting to the changed world, just as the river flows around rocks and over waterfalls. We are grace. We are power. We are RiverClan."
— Leopardstar on RiverClan in Secrets of the Clans, page 40

You can use a bonus action to call your ex-mentor in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This spirit is invisable to everyone except you and anyone with true or eather sight. Your ex-mentor lasts until they are slain, until you dismiss them as a bonus action, or until you're incapacitated.
Your spiritual ex-mentor has AC 14 + your proficiency bonus, 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. If they have to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. The spirit is the same size as you, and they occupies its space. On your turn, your mentor can move up to 30 feet on their own. If your spirit is ever more than 60 feet from you at the end of your turn, they return to the dark forest.
- As a bonus action, you can teleport, magically swapping places with your mentor at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you.
- When you take the Attack action or cast a spell on your turn, any attack or spell you make with that action can originate from your space or the mentor's space. You make this choice for each attack or spell.
- When a creature that you can see within 5 feet of your mentor moves at least 5 feet away from it, you can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack against that creature as if you were in the mentor's space.
- Boon of the Tome's Knowledge
Your mentor taught you some off the books spells. When you gain this feature, choose one 1st-level spell from any class's spell list (the three needn't be from the same list). You that 1st level spell at will. If you want to cast it at a higher level, you must spend the usual amount of mana points for that level. This spell don't count against your number of spell known. If they don't appear on the warlock spell list, they are nonetheless warlock spells for you.
- Pact of the Talisman Tattoo
Your mentor carves a tattoo of a talisman, a talisman that can aid you when the need is great. When you fails an ability check, you can add a your training dice to the roll, potentially turning the roll into a success. This benefit can be used once per short or long rest.

You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
Field Medic [edit]
Battles are getting more and more dangerous. With only one or two medicine cats per clan, it is harder to keep cats alive and safe during battle. A new type of warrior raises up to the growing problem. Field medics are like normal warriors. They go through the normal warrior training and receive their warrior name (complete warrior training). What sets them apart from normal warriors is that they return back for more training. They train with the medicine cat to treat critical battle wounds and help with normal medicine duties.
- Snag'em
At the 3rd level, Snag'em is a special mixture of healing herbs wrapped in a snag weed (a weed that hooks onto fur). Snag'em is a great universal bandage for all wounds. It naturally stops bleeding and speeds up healing. If a large amount of Snag'em dries up, it makes a weak sling to keep the broken bones from moving. Snag'em is a key to a successful field medic.
A field medic can stick up to two times your proficiency bonus of Snag'ems to their fur. As a bonus action, you can remove Snag'em from your fur and apply it to a creature. They heal 2d6 plus your field medic level worth of hit points. That creature can't regain hit points in this way again until they finish a short or long rest.
Additionally, you can use Snag'em to heal d4 hit points when the creature is at 0 hit points. This feature can be used for an unlimited amount as long as you have Snag'em.
You can replenish your supply of Snag'em at any medicine cat's den or any location that store enough herbs to create Snag'em. Do note that most locations require a minimum of one hour to replenish the supply of Snag'em.
- Basic Herbal Knowledge
At the 3rd level, you learn the most common herbs for healing and important herbs to treat wounds. You gain proficiency in medicine skills.
- Healer's Assisance
At the 3rd level, you spend a lot of time training to use the medicine. While you are not as good as a proper medicine cat, you can help them with their work. Whenever you help someone do any checks involving herbs (like healing with herbs or finding herbs), in addition to the advantage to the roll, they add your proficiency bonus to the roll.
- Reverse Treatment
At the 6th level, plants can be not just for healing, but also for killing. You have a proficiency bonus of Vipper's Gift. You can stick them to your fur and replenish your supply just like Snag'em.
As a bonus action, you can apply Vipper's Gift to a weapon or piece of ammunition. The poison retains its potency for 1 minute or until you hit with that weapon or ammunition. When a creature takes damage from the coated weapon or ammunition, that creature makes a Constitution saving throw vs DC of 8 your proficiency modifier + your Charisma modifier. On a fail, they take 2d8 poison damage and become poisoned until the end of your next turn. On a success, it deals half damage.
- You can't Hurt my Friend
At the 14th level, you prevent anyone from hurting your friend. When a creature within 10 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to magically take that damage, instead of that creature taking it. This feature doesn't transfer any other effects that might accompany the damage, and this damage can't be reduced in any way.
Additionally, you gain temporary hit points whenever you finish a short or long rest. These temporary hit points equal your River Warrior cat level + your Charisma modifier.
- Improved Snag'em
At the 18th level, you combine years of experience with your knowledge of herbs to create a better Snag'em. You add your proficiency bonus to all healing done with Snag'em.
