two parent races.

Some new or different properties come with
the new weapons in the Weapons table above.
Ammunition. The ammunition of a firearm
is destroyed upon use. To fire a shot, you need
one musket ball and one charge of powder
from a powder horn.

moonglaives, you can cause yours to bounce
after a hit. If you hit a target within normal
range, you can choose to make the
moonglaive ricochet back to your hand or
bounce to another target within 15 feet of the

hit on a roll of 20, a keen weapon will score a
critical hit on a roll of 1920.

firearm, the weapon misfires, dealing 1d10 fire
damage to you. The firearm also becomes

make a DC 15 Dexterity (Tinkering) check to fix
it. If a firearm misfires twice in a row, it breaks
outright and must be repaired using half the
firearms cost in materials before it can be used
again.
Very heavy. A tauren totem is so heavy
that you can only make one attack with it when
using an action, bonus action, or reaction,

normally make. Also, Small creatures cannot

Languages
The following languages are available in the
Warcraft universe to learn. When making a
character, you can choose to swap out Orcish
for Common or vice versa if you want to be a
member of the faction your race normally does
not affiliate with (the only exceptions to this
option are orcs and humans).
COMMON LANGUAGES
Common Spoken by humans and the
majority of intelligent creatures who
associate with them. The primary
language of the Alliance.
Darnassian Spoken by night elves,
ancients, and fey creatures.
Dwarvish Spoken by dwarves.
Giant Spoken by ogres and giants;
written in the Orcish script.
Gnomish Spoken by gnomes; written
in the Dwarvish alphabet.
Goblin Spoken by goblins.
Orcish Spoken by orcs and members
of the Horde, as well as intelligent
creatures who associate with it.
Pandarenese Spoken by pandaren.
Taur-ahe Spoken by tauren; has no
readable written form, only hieroglyphic
symbols reflecting basic ideas.
Thalassian Spoken by high elves and
blood elves.
Zandali Spoken by all types of trolls.
EXOTIC LANGUAGES
Draconic Spoken by dragons,
dragonkin, and dragon aspects.
Druidic Only spoken, learnable, and
understandable by druids.
Eredun Also known as demonic;
spoken by demons from the Twisting
Nether.
Kalimag The language of elementals;
has no written form.
16
Being as there are few gods and little
correspondence with deities in Warcraft, there
is no Celestial equivalent. Also, there is no
Sylvan counterpart. For fey creatures who
speak Sylvan in the Monster Manual, replace it
with Darnassian or Druidic, as appropriate.
Some races have their own languages that can
be learned, but are less useful and very
specialized:
Nerglish Spoken by murlocs, makrura,
and other sea creatures.
Low Common Understandable by
Common speakers, but simpler and
more primitive. Spoken by humanoids
such as gnolls, kobolds, and troggs.
Low Orcish Understandable by Orcish
speakers, but simpler and more
primitive. Spoken by humanoids such as
quillboar, centaur, and harpies.
Classes
Any class can fit into a Warcraft game with
some creativity, but if you want to stay loyal to
the Warcraft universe and conflicts and fit them
into the lore more easily, you can follow the
tips below.
ARTIFICER
Artificers can be called tinkers, and would be
great fits for gnomes, dwarves, and goblins.
Rather than creating magical items for their
class traits, their creations can instead be
replaced by technological devices if possible
(though their use is unchanged).
Tinkers/artificers can start the game with
proficiency in firearms.
BARBARIAN
Totem warrior barbarians (especially troll ones)
can worship loas in order to get their animal
spirit powers. For example, the bear spirit can
be Nalorakk, the eagle Akilzon, and so forth.
BARD
Bards do not have a place in Warcraft lore.
CLERIC
To make clerics feel more like priests, you can
eliminate their ability to wear heavy (or even
medium) armor and replace this trait with the
trait Unarmored Defense (AC equals 10 +
your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom
modifier).
DRUID
For races who normally arent druids, such as
orcs, you can twist the druid to be more
shamanlike, encouraging (or even allowing on
their spell list) more elemental or spirit spells,
or separating the ability to cast elemental and
nature spells (and transform into beasts vs.
elementals) between shamans and more
conventional druids.
FIGHTER
The eldritch knight subtype of fighters can be
changed to a death knight subclass variation by
allowing the character to choose necromancy
spells along with (or instead of) their evocation
and abjuration spells.
MONK
Normally, pandaren are the only monks on
Azeroth, but tauren or other nature-worshiping
races can be a good fit for this class as well, or
be trainers for other races.
MYSTIC
Mystics dont necessarily have a strong
presence in Warcraft lore, though you could
pass one off as a specific type of shaman more
geared to spirits and psychic power.
PALADIN
Paladins fit well into Warcrafts lore, and their
different oaths correspond to specific paladin
orders in Azeroth. There can be independent
paladins who swear to ideals, but you can
17
incorporate them into orders like the ones
below if you wish:
Oath of Devotion. The Knights of the Silver
Hand and Argent Dawn fit perfectly with this
oath. Their alignment is best for lawful good
paladins.
Oath of the Ancients. The Cenarion Circle
is mainly suited to druids, but it is also perfect
for paladins who swear the Oath of the
Ancients and serve as their warriors and
protectors of nature. Their alignment is mainly
neutral.
Oath of Vengeance. The lawful evil
organization the Scarlet Crusade is well suited
for this oath, as are the Blood Knights of
Quelthalas. They are also lawful, though they
do not necessarily have to be evil.
Oathbreaker, Oath of Treachery. These
focuses work well for Scourge death knights or
the Knights of the Black Hand. Their alignment
is generally chaotic or neutral evil.
Oath of Conquest. This oath seems better
geared toward independent paladins or
soldiers who are more dedicated to combat
than mere fighters. They could swear fealty to a
specific nation, however. Any lawful alignment
would fit well with this oath.
Oath of Redemption. The Knights of the
Silver Hand could also be a good fit for
paladins of this oath, which likely fits well with
any good alignment.
RANGER
Pretty much any ranger archetype fits fine
within Azeroth lore.
ROGUE
Few changes, if any, are needed when it comes
to rogue classes in a Warcraft setting. They
may work independently or for one of the
following factions: SI:7, Syndicate, Ravenholdt,
Bloodsail Buccaneers. Rogues can choose
proficiency with firearms in lieu of one of their
Expertise points, as per the ability.
SORCERER
Most magi in the Warcraft universe learn their
magical powers through study, but that doesnt
mean that sorcerers with innate powers from a
source of power dont exist. In fact, they could
have among the most interesting backstories
of Warcraft characters, being granted their
powers from dragon aspects (Draconic Origin),
blood mage phoenixes (Phoenix Origin), the
titans themselves (Stone Sorcery), or many
other things. Favored Souls and Wild Magic
sorcerers may be the hardest to implement.

WARLOCK
Servants of eldritch powers abound in Azeroth,
so warlocks are an easy class to fit into
Warcrafts lore; to make it even more relevant
to the conflicts common in Warcraft, you can
grant the Warlock some demon-summoning or
communing spells. You can tailor the warlocks
pact to be with the Burning Legion (The Fiend),
the Old Gods (The Great Old One), the Lich
King (Raven Queen, Hexblade), or even some
kind of corrupt ancients or satyr (The Archfey). shaman out of a wizard class, who uses some
Its important that warlocks stay away from ancestral runes or stones instead of a
good (or even neutral, if possible) alignments, spellbook.
as magic is extremely corrupting in Azeroth.

WIZARD
Most wizards are Kirin Tor mages who studied
in Dalaran, but most should not focus on
casting necromancy spells unless they have a
specific loyalty (or at least fascination) with the
Cult of the Damned, the Forsaken, or the
Scourge. Likewise, wizards who specialize in
the School of Necromancy should focus mainly
on learning necromancy spells, work toward
promoting the Lich Kings ideals (or even
becoming a lich themselves), corrupting other
races, and thwarting the efforts of paladins and
other undead-hating classes.
If none of the other classes fit for a specific
type of spellcaster you have in mind, wizards
leave quite a bit of room for creativity. For
example, its possible to make some sort of
18
Factions
Warcraft is a world of conflict, deep grudges,
and war. The races should be kept segregated
somewhat into the Horde and Alliance factions
as much as possible for an authentic Warcraft
feel. There can be rare exceptions, but
generally, if you are a Horde-aligned race in
Alliance territory, you can expect to be treated
with suspicion, prejudice, or even aggression.
The orcs and humans have a particular
hatred for one another, and rarely will they
tolerate each others presence. Consider
imposing all Charisma checks between these
two races with disadvantage.
