Riftwardens bend the seams between places, turning a few decisive steps into impossible journeys. They intercept danger, reposition allies, and strike from unexpected angles. Their magic is not spellcraft: it is a trained instinct for finding, opening, and surviving the world's hidden passages.

Rift Dice
Hit die d10
Dexterity
ConstitutionYou gain proficiency with martial weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields. You can use a Rift Die, a d6, a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus; you regain all expended dice when you finish a Short or Long Rest. Your Rift Die becomes a d8 at level 5, a d10 at level 11, and a d12 at level 17.
As a Bonus Action, spend a Rift Die to teleport up to 20 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Add the die to the next weapon damage roll you make before the end of this turn. The teleport does not provoke Opportunity Attacks.
When a creature you can see within 30 feet takes damage, you can take a Reaction and spend a Rift Die to teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of it, then reduce the damage by the number rolled + your proficiency bonus. You must be able to see your destination.
Choose your subclass: Way of the Anchor, Way of the Bladefold, or Way of the Farstep. Your subclass grants features at levels 3, 6, 10, and 14.

When you teleport using Seamstep or Interpose, choose one willing creature within 5 feet of your starting space. It can teleport with you, appearing in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of your destination.
When you roll Initiative and have no Rift Dice remaining, you regain one. You also gain proficiency in Dexterity saving throws; if you already have it, gain proficiency in Intelligence saving throws instead.
Ability Score Improvement
When you use Seamstep, you can bring up to two willing creatures within 5 feet of you, placing each in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of your destination. You can do so once per turn.
Your subclass grants a feature. In addition, your Seamstep distance increases to 40 feet.
Your Rift Dice become d10s. Once on each of your turns when you teleport, you can make one weapon attack as part of the same action or Bonus Action that caused the teleport.
Ability Score Improvement
When you roll Initiative, you regain up to two expended Rift Dice. You can also use Interpose without expending a Rift Die, but only once per Long Rest.
Your subclass grants a feature. In addition, you can see invisible creatures and objects within 10 feet of you if they are not behind Total Cover.
When you teleport, you can leave a brief afterimage. Until the start of your next turn, the first attack roll against you has Disadvantage, and you can move through creatures' spaces as if they were Difficult Terrain.
Ability Score Improvement
Your Rift Dice become d12s. When you use Interpose, the protected creature also gains Temporary Hit Points equal to your Riftwarden level.
When you roll Initiative, you regain all expended Rift Dice. Once per turn, when you roll a Rift Die, you can reroll it and use either result.
You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat for which you qualify; this feat can be an Epic Boon feat. Also, when you roll Initiative, you can teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.
Once per Long Rest, as a Magic action, you open a stable passage for 1 minute between two unoccupied spaces you can see within 300 feet. You and your allies can move through it freely; hostile creatures must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your Rift save DC to pass through. You can close the passage early without an action.

Riftwardens bend the seams between places, turning a few decisive steps into impossible journeys.
They intercept danger, reposition allies, and strike from unexpected angles. Their magic is not spellcraft: it is a trained instinct for finding, opening, and surviving the world's hidden passages.
Play the battlefield as a shifting map: use Seamstep to reach vulnerable targets, Interpose to blunt a decisive hit, and Shared Passage to move allies where they can matter.
Your limited Rift Dice reward timing; save some for emergencies, but do not hoard them so tightly that you miss the class's defining rescues and repositioning.
A prospective Riftwarden learns to sense spatial tension through breath, balance, and repeated exposure to safe, minor distortions.
Initiation usually requires crossing a brief passage while carrying another person, then returning without losing either traveler to the seam.
Ordinary people often see Riftwardens as reassuring rescuers until one appears inside a locked room.
In unsettled regions they are celebrated as guides; in guarded cities their ability to cross barriers invites suspicion and strict regulation.
