  When making an ability check for a journey activity, the check is made at the start of the region. An adventurer may achieve a success or a failure, or a critical success or a critical failure, each with a different outcome which applies while the party remains in that region.

  Three times each day you can use a bonus action and expend a charge to summon a skeleton (page 334 or zombie (page 335). Your summoned creature follows you and is hostile to creatures that are hostile to you. You may decide the action the undead takes and where it moves during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as guarding an area. If not given a command, the undead only defends itself. The undead continues to follow a command until its task is complete. Undead created by the pendant turn into dust at dawn.

For example, if you have gained two expertise dice, a 1d6 and 1d6, you now have a 1d8 expertise die. If you have a 1d8 expertise die on a check, further expertise dice have no effect.

  Components: V, S, M (blade or needle you draw your own blood with, or a venomous animal or poisonous plant you crush)

Additionally, whenever you hit that creature with an attack it takes an additional 1d6 necrotic damage.

  When the target is reduced to 0 hit points, you can spend a bonus action on your next turn to move the curse to another creature you can see within range. Remove curse can end this spell.

  Cast at Higher Levels. The spell’s duration is extended: 3rd- or 4th-level—Concentration (8 hours), 5th-level—Concentration (24 hours).

Page 33, Feat, Docker’s Jank

• In a band every musician has to know their bandmates’ parts in case they need to switch places or pick up the slack. Choose up to four allies; you may change your chosen allies after spending a few hours training with them. You and those allies can each use Help as a bonus action, but only to aid you or one of your chosen allies. After you or an ally uses this feature, that person cannot use it again until they finish a short or long rest.

  Additionally, as a bonus action you can shout a line from an inspiring song to grant an ally a Bardic Inspiration die, a d6. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level. This functions as the bard feature except that after you use this feature once, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

  You are proficient with one type of musical instrument and with water vehicles.

Page 35, Feat, Martial Studies

• Research is important for science and for combat. If you don’t know just the right fighting technique, you’re pretty sure someone else has published a thesis about it.

  You gain proficiency in one martial melee and one martial ranged weapon.

   Additionally, you can make limited use of tricks from the savant class (page 45). You learn two savant tricks—typically Committed Defense Aegis and Experimental Flourish—and can acquire other techniques in your travels.

  You can use a bonus action to prepare a trick you know (like a savant). Once you have done so a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

  If you are a savant with this feat, simply add the two tricks you picked to the list of tricks you know. You can prepare them as you would any other tricks.

  You can also learn additional tricks by finding a copy of the thesis they wrote. If you have a copy of a thesis, when you complete a long rest you can replace one of the tricks you know with the trick detailed in the thesis. See Martial Scientist Theses (page 210) for a list of prominent theses and their associated tricks.
  

Page 38-39, Feat, Expression of Belief

• Your philosophy can affect reality. You are proficient in Culture and Dwarvish.

  Additionally, choose one of the following philosophies and gain its associated feature.

  You can also use a bonus action to grant that same feature to a creature you touch, which it must use in the next hour. After you grant the feature in this way, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest. Granting the feature doesn’t prevent you from using it yourself.

  Eschatology. You are prepared to avoid bad endings. Once per hour when your hit points fall to 0, you may immediately stabilize. For the next round thereafter you cannot die, and damage you take doesn’t cause you to start dying.

  If you touch a creature to share your feature and that creature died in the past round, it is returned to life at 0 hit points, stable, and is treated as if it had failed no death saving throws. For the next round thereafter it cannot die, and damage it takes doesn’t cause it to start dying.

  Muktism. You can achieve brief transcendent freedom. Once per hour on your turn you may gain the benefits of the freedom of movement spell until the end of your next turn. During this time you have the Incorporeal Movement trait (you can move through creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. If you end your turn inside an object, you take 1d10 force damage and are shunted to the nearest empty space.)

  Solipsistic Nihilism. You have clarity and control over your mind. Once per hour you can gain the benefits of the mind blank spell until the end of your next turn. During this time you can also ignore any effects that compel your actions or control your emotions.

Page 42, Feat, Display of Heroism

• You unfortunately have great experience rescuing allies on the battlefield. As a bonus action, you can choose one or two bloodied creatures within 10 feet of you, potentially including yourself. If they are at 0 hit points, your heroic example rouses them to 1 hit point. If they are prone, you move to the nearest open space and lift them to a stand. The creatures can each move their speed without provoking opportunity attacks, and until the end of your next turn, attack rolls against them have disadvantage and they have advantage on saving throws. 

  Once you use this feat, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest. 

  In addition, you are proficient with water vehicles.
