Channel Divinity (1/short rest). Confucius can channel his divine energy to fuel one of two magical effects.
◆ Divine Knowledge. As an action, Confucius gains proficiency with one skill or tool he chooses. This proficiency lasts for 10 minutes.
◆ Turn Undead. As an action, Confucius presents his holy symbol and speaks a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead within 30 feet that can see or hear him must make a DC 14 Wisdom
saving throw
. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. When an undead of CR 1/2 or lower fails its saving throw the creature is instantly destroyed. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from Confucius as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of him. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
Fast Learner. After Confucius has heard a creature speak for 1 minute or longer, he can mimic its manner of speaking as long as he knows the same language as the creature (allowing him to seem like he is local to a given region).
Sneak Attack (1/turn). Confucius deals an extra 10 (3d6) damage when he hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of Confucius that isn’t incapacitated and Confucius doesn’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Tactician. Confucius is able to use the Help action to aid an ally attacking a creature as long as the target of the attack is able to see and hear Confucius and is within 30 feet of him.

SPECIAL TRAITS
Diplomatic. Confucius can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by the Wisdom (Insight) check of a creature that can understand what he says during 1 minute of talking. On a success, as long as Confucius remains within 60 feet of it (and for 1 minute afterward) the target is charmed by him.
Confucius automatically fails on the check if he or his companions are fighting the target.
ACTIONS
Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4+2) piercing damage.
BONUS ACTIONS
Cunning Action (1/turn). Confucius can use a bonus action to take the Dash, Disengage, Help, or Hide action.
REACTIONS
Uncanny Dodge. When an attacker Confucius can see hits him with an attack, Confucius can use his reaction to halve the attack’s damage against him.
Mythological Figures once again heads to the Far East, this time considering one of the best known figures in all of recorded history, a Chinese philosopher from over 2,000 years ago with teachings that still have influence today!
Born in the state of Lu, Confucious’ lost his father when he was very young. He grew up to be a politician. It might surprise you to learn that while alive Confucius didn’t really get that much recognition other than that people of influence found him to be threatening. All the same and without any military power himself, he utilized diplomacy to try (and fail) to return rulership of the state of Lu to a duke rather than the triumvirate of ruling clans—the Ji, Meng, and Shu families - which had taken power. The Viscount Ji Huan became his nemesis, and for over a decade Confucius went into self-exile, traveling around the states of central and north-east China where he shared his political beliefs but never saw them implemented.
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
In the twilight of his years Confucious returned to the province of Lu, teaching the Five Classics to more than 70 disciples before dying himself in his early 70s. Details on his legacy are fairly involved but to be short about it Confucius’ teachings were widely adopted after his death and became the backbone of education in China until less than a century ago , though they are still very much a part of contemporary Chinese social norms and many ordinary people in China still see Confucian ideals as a means of obtaining spiritual nourishment. Following his death Confucius' followers collected his teachings (emphasizing self-improvement and self-realization) in the Analects, one of the most studied and widely-read books in the past 2,000 years of China's history.
Humanoids include a number of different intelligent, language-using bipeds of Small or Medium size. Humans and elves are humanoids, and so are orcs and goblins. Humanoids may employ magic but are not fundamentally magical—a characteristic that distinguishes them from bipedal, language-using fey, fiends, and other monsters. Humanoids have no inherent alignment, meaning that no humanoid ancestry is naturally good or evil, lawful or chaotic.
