Action. Range: weapon range. Target: one creature within range, plus you may choose a second creature within 10 feet of the first if both are within the weapon's long range. Make a separate ranged weapon attack against each chosen target. On a hit, deal the weapon's normal damage.

Attack or save: Ranged weapon attack rolls. Defense: None. Scaling: +1d6 thunder becomes +2d6 at level 11 and +3d6 at level 17 when Surge is spent. Resource cost: 0 or 1 Surge.

Ranged martial weapon loaded and in hand

When you take the Attack action and hit with a melee weapon attack, you can expend 1 Surge (no extra action) to deal extra 2d6 slashing damage and force the target to make a Constitution saving throw (DC = Doctrine DC). On a failure the target takes an additional 1d6 slashing damage at the start of its next turn as residual trauma. Movement: None. Duration: Instantaneous plus residual. Scaling: Extra damage becomes 3d6 at level 5, 4d6 at level 11, 5d6 at level 17. Residual die becomes 2d6 at level 11.

Melee weapon attack hit

Action. Movement: Move up to your walking speed in a straight line toward a creature. If you end within melee reach you make one melee weapon attack with Advantage.

You do not provoke opportunity attacks from the target of this charge during the move. Resource: 1 Surge. Scaling: Bonus damage 2d8 at level 5, 3d8 at level 11, 4d8 at level 17. If you move at least 20 feet before the attack, add +1 to the save DC.

Reaction, when a creature within 5 feet of you is hit by an attack. You impose Disadvantage on the attack roll if it has not yet resolved, or if already rolled and hits, the target gains +5 AC against that attack (potentially turning hit to miss). You must be wielding a shield or wearing heavy armor. Resource: 0 Surge once per round free; additional uses in the same round cost 1 Surge each. Duration: Instantaneous. Movement: None. Defense: +5 AC or Disadvantage on attack against ally.

Shield or heavy armor

Action. Choose a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point within 60 feet that you can see. Each creature of your choice in the area must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (Doctrine DC) or become suppressed until the start of your next turn. A suppressed creature has Disadvantage on attack rolls and cannot take opportunity attacks. You must be holding a ranged weapon. Resource: 1 Surge. Movement: None. Damage: None. Scaling: At level 9 radius becomes 30 feet; at level 15 suppressed creatures also have their speed halved.

Ranged weapon in hand

On a hit deal weapon damage + 1d10 force damage and the attacker is pushed 5 feet away from you. Resource: 1 Surge. Scaling: Bonus damage 2d10 at level 10, 3d10 at level 16. Movement: Target pushed 5 feet on hit.

Hit by melee attack

Each enemy whose space you enter must succeed on a Strength saving throw (Doctrine DC) or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage and be shoved 5 feet to either side of your path (your choice). You then make one melee weapon attack at the end of the move. Resource: 1 Surge. You provoke opportunity attacks as normal except from creatures that failed the save. Scaling: Damage 3d6 L8, 4d6 L14.

Defense: Healing or condition removal. Scaling: Healing die becomes 2d10 at level 9 and 3d10 at level 15.

When you hit a creature that is below half its Hit Point maximum with a weapon attack, you can expend 1 Surge to deal extra damage equal to 2d8 + your Strength modifier (same damage type as the weapon). If this reduces the creature to 0 Hit Points, you gain temporary Hit Points equal to your Crucibleborn level. Scaling: Extra dice 3d8 at level 12, 4d8 at level 18. Action economy: free on hit. Movement: None.

Scaling: Jump distance 40 feet at level 14.

Action. Make one melee weapon attack against an object, structure, or creature. On a hit deal weapon damage + 4d12 force damage.

Resource: 2 Surge. Once per Short Rest free of the Stun rider without extra cost if you already spent the Surge for damage. Scaling: Bonus 5d12 at level 16, 6d12 at level 20.

Action. Choose a 10-foot-wide, 30-foot-long line originating from you. Until the start of your next turn, when a creature first enters the line or attacks while in the line, you can use your Reaction to make one ranged weapon attack against it with Advantage. You may make a number of such Reaction attacks equal to your Dexterity modifier (minimum 1) before the protocol ends. Resource: 1 Surge. Movement: None. Scaling: Line length 40 feet at level 15; Advantage becomes automatic critical threat range 19–20 on these shots at level 18.

On a miss you still deal half the bonus force damage. Once per Long Rest; if you have not used it, you can expend 5 Surge during a Short Rest to regain it. Scaling: Already apex; at level 20 bonus becomes 10d10 and HP threshold 200.
