Manifest Stand[edit]

Starting at 1st level, you are able to manifest your Stand. As a bonus action, you may manifest your Stand and as an action, you may command it. It acts on your command and can do anything you can do, including speak, hear, and even attack, but is unable to see on its own. Attacking with your Stand deals 1d8 + your Strength and Dexterity modifier. Your Stand's AC is 13 + Dexterity and any damage your stand takes is dealt to you as well.

It can move within a 40 foot radius of you, has a movement speed of 20 feet, and can pass through physical objects, though if you are unable to see your Stand it will become near impossible to command it. Your stand is also immune to all effects that increase or decrease a creature's abilities, such as True Seeing, Sleep, or Resistance. These effects do not apply to your Stand and only can be applied to you, though you may use some spells to aid you in using your Stand, such as True Seeing.

As a note of reference, you may only use any of your other features should your Stand be manifested, unless specified otherwise. It should also be noted for reference that ordinary people cannot see your Stand. Only you and other Stand Users can see it. The only exception is if someone uses detect magic, see invisibility, or identify or any other means similar to those, they can see your stand.

Stand Focus[edit]

Also starting at 1st level, your Stand gains two focus'. This focus will determine future options for powers and abilities, so choose wisely. You are able to choose from the following focuses:

Power
The ability to have strength and raw fighting energy. Choosing this as your focus will allow your stand to make powerful attacks with its bare hands. These attacks deal 1d10 + your Strength modifier of bludgeoning damage. You also gain proficiency in Medium and Heavy armor.
Speed
The ability to move and act quickly. Choosing this feature will boost you and your Stand's movement speed to 40 feet. and when your Stand makes an attack you can expend a bonus action to attack again.
Range
The ability to be far away from the user. Choosing this focus increase the range of your Stand to a radius of 80 feet. As well as the range for all attacks made by you increases by 10 feet.
Durability
The ability to have your stand manifest and protect you from harm. Choosing this as your Focus will give your Stand an unarmored defense making your Stand's AC equal to 10 + your Constitution Modifier + your Strength Modifier. Also when your Stand is within 5 feet of you your AC equals your Stand's. At any point as a reaction you may spend a will point to have your stand move within 5 feet of you.
Precision
you can use your Reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon Attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the Attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + Stand User level. Also when your stand makes an attack on a creature your Stand's attack crits on an 18-20.

Will Points[edit]

At 2nd level, you manifest your will into abilities that your Stand can use. You start with these three abilities:

Spells will function as your Stand's power and you may choose a class: bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard. You learn four cantrips of your choice from that class's spell list. In addition, choose four spells to learn from that same list. You may change these spells upon gaining a new level. The level of these spells must be less than or equal to half your Will Points (rounded down). You learn more spells when you gain new spell levels. To use the spell, you expend a number of Will Points equal to the spell's level.

Stand Styles[edit]

If you have two base level focuses, they are both now level 2 focuses. If you have one level 2 focus, it has become a level 3 focus.
