| |
|
| |
|
| ==== Wild Magic ==== | | == Intro == |
| * '''Wild Magic Surge (passive):''' Jinx can trigger a Wild Magic Surge whenever casting a spell. Any time Jinx casts a spell, '''roll a Surge Check''': Cantrip = d20, lvl spell = D6. If the result is a 1, roll on the [https://dnd5e.wikidot.com/sorcerer:wild-magic Wild Magic Surge table] (DM's discretion to skip).
| | [[File:Portrait of Jinx.png|thumb|300px|Jinx]] |
| * '''Tides of Chaos (passive):''' Jinx uses chaos to gain Advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. If used, subsequent Surge Checks use double dice until Wild Magic surges. After a surge and after a Short or Long Rest, this feature is reset/replenished and one dice is rolled as normal again.
| | Jinx was an energetic and wildly charismatic tabaxi child of nine, who believed the world was her stage. She was a natural street performer in the big city's bustling streets, always going for an extra acrobatic flips, dazzling sleights of hand, and quick, playful wit. She thrived on attention and loved to surprise people, often using her mischief to bring a smile to someone's face (or perhaps to skillfully pick a loose coin from their pocket). She yearned for grand spectacles and dazzling lights. Of course, all she really has is a handful of these visions, but she has made the most of it and expanded a whole imaginary background that she often shares, whether the listener wants to hear it or not. |
| * '''Bend Luck (Reaction, 2 Sorcery Points):''' When a creature Jinx can see makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, Jinx can spend 2 Sorcery Points to use their Reaction to grant the target a 1d4 bonus or penalty (Jinx's choice) to the roll.
| |
| * '''Fey Presence (Action):''' Each creature in a 10-foot cube originating from Jinx must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom save or be Charmed or Frightened (Jinx's choice) by Jinx until the end of Jinx's next turn. (1/Short or Long Rest)

|
| |
|
| | When Jinx awakened within the City she instinctively understood this strange purgatory as a vast, unpredictable stage. Her inherent need for attention and her mastery of misdirection became her tools for survival and expression. She views her role as infusing the troupe with vibrant, albeit sometimes chaotic, energy, using distraction and illusion to divert dangers or lighten the pervasive gloom. She often holds court in the Shifting Bazaar, turning its ever-changing stalls into impromptu stages for scores of Denizens, her second favorite type of being in the City. |

|
| ==== Darlingverse Stabilization ==== | | == With Others == |
| These abilities focus on channeling chaotic energy safely and manipulating localized luck.
| | Jinx revels in the shared chaos and humor with Pip, often collaborating on grand, whimsical schemes to liven up Darling's mind. She finds a kindred spirit in Lysander's flair for the dramatic and grand gestures, seeing him as a fellow performer on a larger stage. She also enjoys working with Skree, appreciating his ability to provide unique sound effects and mimicry for her illusions and distractions. |
|
| |
|
| '''1. Minor Stabilization: Taming the Tides''' (Bonus Action or Reaction)
| | Antagonistic Towards: Jinx finds Kael's grounded seriousness and Lyra's rigid adherence to order utterly stifling to her creative spirit, viewing them as joyless impediments. She also finds Borin's unimaginative and unyielding nature profoundly boring and resistant to her delightful antics. |
| * '''Requirement:''' Jinx must be within 30 ft. of a source of minor chaotic magic (e.g., an unnaturally fluctuating light, a small crack).
| |
| * '''Effect:''' Jinx safely channels raw chaos. As a Bonus Action, Jinx gains '''Advantage on their next Wild Magic Surge roll''' or can spend 1 Sorcery Point to grant herself or an ally within 30 ft '''Inspiration'''. Alternatively, Jinx can use Taming as a Reaction and expending two Sorcery Points when a creature within 30 ft. fails a saving throw against allowing the creature allowing them to '''re-roll the save'''.

| '''2. Major Stabilization: The Perfect Misfortune''' (Action & 1 Minute Concentration)
| | <!--Papa's Basement and the Void: Her next fragmented memory was of cold, damp stone beneath her, and the terrifying, metallic tang of fear in the air. She saw other children, small and whimpering in rough cages, their wide, frightened eyes reflecting the dim, flickering light. Jinx recalled a looming, shadowy figure—Papa—moving with chilling, unnatural silence towards a nearby cage. Then, a blinding surge of sickening, performance-stopping horror erupted, and the memory violently tore itself away, leaving a cold, empty void where the full, unspeakable truth should be.--> |
| * '''Requirement:''' Jinx must expend a '''2nd level spell slot''' or higher and remain in a state of controlled arcane flux through Concentration.
| |
| * '''Effect:''' Jinx manipulates the local probability field, suppressing large-scale mental errors. All hostile creatures within a '''30-foot radius''' must succeed on a DC 17 Charisma Saving Throw or suffer a '''-4 penalty to all all Saving Throws''', or -2 on a successful save. If Jinx maintains concentration for a full minute, the ritual permanently '''stabilizes the underlying pattern of probability''' in the area, permanently preventing any enemy from benefiting from gaining '''Advantage''' on their rolls in this location. If the ritual is interrupted, Jinx immediately suffers a loss of 3 Sorcery points (if she has none, she loses a lvl 2nd or higher spell slot and if she has none of those she takes 6d6 psychic damage) as well as activating a Wild Magic Surge.

| Jinx: The Dazzling Performer
| |
| | |
| Before Darling: Jinx was an energetic and wildly charismatic tabaxi child of nine, who believed the world was her stage. She was a natural street performer in Waterdeep's bustling streets, known for her acrobatic flips, dazzling sleight of hand, and quick, playful wit. She thrived on attention and loved to surprise people, often using her mischief to bring a smile to someone's face, or perhaps to skillfully pick a loose coin from their pocket. She yearned for grand spectacles and dazzling lights.
| |
| | |
| Captured by Papa: One vibrant afternoon, while mid-leap during a particularly captivating performance in a busy market square, Jinx felt a sudden, profound chill. A sweet, cloying scent enveloped her, and before she could even land her tumble, a heavy, suffocating cloth was thrown over her. She remembered the terrifying sensation of her performance abruptly ending, of being silenced and dragged away from the cheering crowds into an inescapable darkness.
