Keeper (5e Class)
A Living Well
What is a Keeper? A Keeper is someone whose intense bond to life allows them to manifest a companion from a Demiplane of their slain foes and treasured allies. Keepers draw their power from wells of everlasting living energy left behind as residue from long-dead casualties of the 1000 year war. They channel this might to destroy their foes and manipulate the world around them. Some try and escape the burden of carrying this living energy with them and turn to necromantic powers, some embrace the attachment to life much like a druid or a cleric and use the power of life to aid the world, and others try to master the most unworldly kind of life dwelling within the cosmos.
A Keeper's Cause

Have you been haunted all your life by whispers in the back of your mind? Perhaps you were training to be a druid, but the way your powers manifested was far more bizarre. Maybe you are part of an ancient organization of Keepers to maintain the natural order of life or even destroy it? Could you have been a victim of some necromantic experiment? Regardless you must face the world alongside your captured companions and seek out the truth.

- Shovel
- A hammer dealing 1d8 bludgeoning damage with the heavy and the versatile (1d10) properties
- Arming Cane

- Gauntlets
- A pair of fist weapons dealing 1d4 bludgeoning damage. While wearing a gauntlet in each hand, you may make an additional attack with this weapon as a bonus action.
Fighting Style
At 1st level, choose one of the following options fighting styles:
- Archery
- You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.
- 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.
- Defense
- While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
- Great Weapon Fighting
- When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the Two-Handed or Versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
Well of Life
At 2nd level, you have access to a special demiplane of life where your slain foes and befriended companions lie. You cannot forcefully banish a creature into the demiplane unless you or a creature summoned via your Life Pact feature reduce it to 0 Hit Points. Conjured creatures are immune to this feature.
Creatures who are willing to join the Well of Life may do so without violence after a 1-minute long bonding ritual.
You may also touch any creature that has died within the past hour as an action and banish it to your Well of Life. However, you may only banish a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier in this way before completing a long rest.
Any creature that is banished to the Well of Life can be summoned via your Life Pact feature, but you may only have one creature summoned from your Well of Life at any given time.
Creatures banished into the Well of Life have undying loyalty to you. You may not enter the Well of Life, and neither can any creature who is not bound there.
As more creatures are banished to your Well of Life, it grows in size to accommodate living space for each of them. While in the Well of Life, all creatures that dwell there recover their Hit Points after the Keeper completes a long rest.
If you fall unconscious or dies, any creature summoned via the Life Pact feature is immediately withdrawn into the Well of Life. If no creatures are in the Well of Life, you lose access to your Life Pact feature until you banish more creatures.
Life Pact
At 2nd level, you can summon forth an ally from your Well of Life as an action in an unoccupied space next to you. You can also send a creature under your control back to your Well of Life as a bonus action.
You have a telepathic link with creatures summoned via this ability, and the creature acts on your initiative. The creature has the same resistances, senses, immunities, movement, and size as it originally had before capture, but can only make a single slam attack, dealing 1d6 bludgeoning damage + the creature's strength or dexterity modifier.
The creature also loses specific actions, legendary actions, legendary traits, the ability to cast spells, and any lair action that the creature may have had, but maintains reactions and traits such as the Warhorse's Trampling Charge trait.
The creature maintains its original ability scores and Armor Class. They also have the same proficiency bonus as you and have hit points equal to (3 + their Constitution Modifier) x your Keeper level or 6 x your Keeper level (whichever is higher).
Summoned creatures have their own bonus actions independent of you and may use them if they have traits or class features that require them. If a creature you summon has a trait that requires a saving throw, the DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
You are immune to any area of effect abilities these creatures generate from traits such as the Ghast's Stench trait. You may use your action to order a creature summoned from your Well of Life to do any task, and it will try, to the best of its ability, to follow your order until the start of your next turn. While not under the strain of a combat situation, you may freely order a creature to do a long term task such as delivering a message.
Summoned creatures must remain on the same plane as you or be forced back into the Well of Life. When a creature created via this feature drops to 0 hit points, its body is turned to mud, and it cannot be brought back to life or return to your Well of Life by anything short of a Wish or True Resurrection spell.
Living Order
At 3rd level, your choices leading up to this point have given you a new view on life that manifests in one of five orders: the Natural Order, Undead Order, Eldritch Order, Draconic Order, or the Giantkin Order. You gain an additional feature from your choice at 7th, 13th, and 18th level.
Ability Score Increase
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.
Animated Body
At 5th level, you may now order a creature summoned by your Life Pact feature with your reaction on your turn. In addition, its slam damage dice increases to a d8, and from this point onward, you may spend an action to see through the eyes of any creature under your control and feel all of their senses as they feel them. You may end this effect at any time, but as long as you remain in this state, you are blind and deaf regarding your own senses.
Living Weapons
At 6th level, your weapon attacks are now considered magical for the purpose of bypassing resistance and immunity to nonmagical weapons. Creatures summoned via your Life Pact feature also gain this benefit.
Massive Slam
At 9th level, slam attacks made by creatures summoned via your Life Pact feature now deal 1d10 bludgeoning damage. In addition, you may choose one of five combat maneuver's that your Life Pact creatures may use.
At 15th level, this damage increases to 1d12 bludgeoning damage, and you may select an additional combat maneuver.

- The creature has advantage on all attack rolls if at least one of its allies is within 5 feet of the creature, and the ally isn't incapacitated.
- Heavy blow
- When the creature lands a slam attack, they may attempt to perform the shove action with their bonus action.

- While mounted by a Keeper, the creature gains a +2 to its Armor Class & damage rolls, and the Keeper has advantage on initiative checks.

- Innate Magic
- The creature gains the innate ability to cast the spell Life Transference once per day, but the target for the healing of this spell must always be the Keeper. Once this ability is used, it cannot be used again by other creatures summoned from the Well of Life until after a long rest. At 15th level, they may use this ability twice. You regain all uses of this ability on a long rest.
Awaken
At 10th level, you may touch any nonmagical object of huge or smaller, and it will animate into an awake, conscious, and mobile being after commencing a 1-minute long ritual. You may turn the creature back into an inanimate object with an action, but only if it is willing. Creatures summoned via this feature cannot join your Well of Life.
Creatures given sentience are generally grateful and tend to like Keepers if they have no reason not to, but aren't compelled to help you if they choose not to. It remembers creatures that have walked by and everything that the object has ever experienced before sentience. The Dungeon Master determines the statistics for creatures summoned via this feature.
You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once), and you regain all uses of this ability after a long rest.
Animated Mind
At 11th level, your mastery over living energy has allowed you to grant complex thought to otherwise simple beings. If a creature summoned via your Life Pact feature is not sentient, it gains sentience and learns every language the Keeper knows. Although it can make its own decisions, it is still bound to the Keeper and will not seek motives that harm the Keeper.
In addition, creatures summoned via your Life Pact feature gain a bonus to all Saving Throws equal to your Wisdom Modifier.
Morph
At 14th level, your powers over living energy allow you to shape the living as you see fit. You may cast the spell polymorph three times, without requiring any material components.
Aside from beasts, you may also transform targets into creatures of a different creature type. The creature type you may select is based on your Living Order, as shown by the chart below. However, the maximum Challenge Rating of creatures you may turn into or turn others into is 8. If the creature you transform into has the ability to cast spells or speak, you may do so.

Grand Keeper
At 20th level, your immense power over life gives you more access to your Well of Life. You may spend an action to enter or leave your Well of Life and may stay there as long as you wish, causing the land itself to bow to serve you, supplying you with endless food, comfort, and shelter.
If you leave the Well of Life, you reappear in the nearest safe and unoccupied space closest to where you entered it. You may store items in your Well of Life as you see fit.
You may now allow other entities into your Well of Life if they cast the Gate or Plane Shift spell. The creatures in your Well of Life will remain passive towards your guests unless you deem them no longer welcome, in which case they will turn hostile to the guests. The Well itself will also turn against these visitors, making everything difficult terrain for them.
In addition, you may now have two creatures summoned via your Life Pact feature at any given time. However, you may still only order one of your summoned creatures during your turn.
The Natural Order

You have embraced the life flowing through you and become a pure manifestation of light and nature. You dedicate yourself to the purity of life and its preservation.

However, they may only use this special type of breath once before completing a long rest.

You regain the use of this ability on a short or long rest.
The Giantkin Order
- Giant's City
Giantkin Keepers are Keepers who draw their might from Titans and Giants who died long ago. As Giantkin Keepers grow stronger, they grow in size and find themselves thinking more like their ancient patrons. Your Well of Life becomes an expansive viking city suited to fit giants. Any creature banished to the Demiplane becomes taller, wider, and more humanoid. Some examples of this are beards, opposable thumbs, or a muscular, human-like torso. As giant blood flows through you, your body may grow more as well. The creature type of creatures summoned via your Life Pact feature becomes Giant.

You may use this feature once, and regain the use of this feature after completing a short or long rest. In addition, once a turn, while enlarged, if you or a creature summoned via your Life Pact feature kills an enemy, you may move up to half your movement and make a single unarmed strike against a creature within your reach.
- Rock Throw
At 7th level, you may spend an action to pick up a large boulder, chunk of rubble, or rip large pieces of material out of walls directly and make a ranged attack against a target within 60 feet of you. If you cannot conceivably gain anything to throw, you may not use this feature. You are proficient with this weapon and add your strength modifier to the attack roll. If the rock hits an enemy, it deals 2d8 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage. If your size is Large, Huge, or Gargantuan, this deals 2d10 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage instead. At 18th level, whenever a creature is damaged via your Rock Throw ability, they must succeed a Strength saving throw with a Difficulty Class equal to 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Strength modifier or be knocked prone.
- Eye of the Colossus
At 13th level, you are constantly under the effects of the Enlarge section of the Enlarge/Reduce spell. This effect cannot be dispelled and does not require concentration. If you are confronted by a door or passageway that you are unable to fit through, you may temporarily shrink your form to fit through at will. In addition, you may use your action to mark an enemy within sight as your prey. The target must succeed a Charisma saving throw with a Difficulty Class equal to 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Wisdom modifier. On a failed save, the target is frightened of you for 1 minute. If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn’t have line of sight to you, the creature can make a Wisdom saving throw. If they succeed, they are no longer frightened. Even if the target succeeds, they are still marked. The mark lasts 1 hour or until you mark another creature, and you have advantage on survival checks to track marked targets. Whenever you or a creature summoned via your Life Pact feature lands a successful weapon attack on a marked creature, they take an additional 1d6 force damage. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once) and regain all uses of this feature after a long rest.
- Giant Lord
At 18th level, your creature type becomes Giant, and your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 2. Your maximum for those scores is now 22 as well. As an avatar of titanic might, titans turn in their graves as you walk, and giants hail you as a leader. From this point on, you may now pick up and throw most creatures as ammunition for your Rock Throw feature. You may not throw creatures who are more than one size larger than you. You may decide whether the thrown target takes damage or not. If you choose for the thrown target to take damage, they take damage as if they were hit by your Rock Throw feature. A creature unwilling to be thrown must make a Strength saving throw with a Difficulty Class equal to 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Strength modifier. On a failed save, you throw them.
