Devil Fruit Advancements

• Improved Basic Ability

Devil Fruit Advancement, Uncommon

Prerequisite: Paramecia or Logia Type

You have learned how to better use your Devil Fruit powers on a basic level.

With the help and approval of your DM, you may choose one Cantrip and one 1st-Level Spell from any class spell list that fits the nature of your Devil Fruit power.

Through your Devil Fruit power, you notice large improvements in your attributes, skills, or abilities.

You can select and use a player Feat that fits the nature of your Devil Fruit, with the approval of your DM.

• Faster Form

Devil Fruit Advancement, Uncommon

Prerequisite: Zoan or Logia Type

Through practicing transforming with your Devil Fruit, you now take up less time chainging into your form.

• Resistance Shatter

Devil Fruit Advancement, Uncommon

Prerequisite: Paramecia or Logia Type

You have learned to focus your Devil Fruit powers into higher concentrations of magic energy, overcoming any resistances a creature might naturally have.

Choose a damage type other than force you deal with your Devil Fruit spells or abilities. You now ignore resistances to that damage type when using Spells or Abilities from your Devil Fruit, unless the resistance is granted by Haki.

• Greater Hybrid

Your knowledge of your Zoan Hybrid form grows to allow you to gain multiple new mutations.

When you enter your hybrid form, you can select one additional Hybrid Form Option you can use for the duration of your hybrid form.

By increasing the effectiveness of your Devil Fruit powers on others, you gain a +1 bonus to your Devil Fruit save DC and Devil Fruit Attack modifier.

Rare. The bonus increases to +2 instead.

Very Rare. The bonus increases to +3 instead.

Legendary. The bonus increases to +4 instead.

• Devil Recharge

Devil Fruit Advancement, Rare

You now recover Devil Fruit charges at a faster rate when resting.

When you complete a short rest, you can expend Hit Dice to regain a number of Devil Fruit charges equal to Hit Dice spent.

• Greater Beast Shape

Devil Fruit Advancement, Rare

Prerequisite: Zoan Type

Your mastery over your Zoan Creature form is greatly improved.

You now only need to spend a bonus action to enter your zoan Beast Shape, instead of an action. Additionally, while you are transformed by your Beast Shape, you can spend a bonus action to regain hit points equal to your zoan creature's Hit Dice. You can regain hit points this way a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you complete a long rest.

• Devil's Determination

Devil Fruit Advancement, Rare

You are now far more resistant to having your Devil Fruit weakness exploited.

You now have advantage on Constitution saving throws made to avoid breaking Concentration on Devil Fruit spells or being incapacitated by seastone

• Greater Resistance

Devil Fruit Advancement, Very Rare

Prerequisite: Paramecia or Logia Type

By improving the strength of your Devil Fruit properties or elemental nature, you can defend against a greater range of attack types.

With the help and approval of your DM, choose a type of damage that isn't force, you have now adapted to resist that damage type using your Devil Fruit powers. Alternatively, you may choose one of the following conditions: blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned. You are now immune to that condition instead.

• Beast's Resilience

Devil Fruit Advancement, Very Rare

Prerequisite: Zoan Type

If you are subjected to an effect that would end your Beast Shape, such as Seastone or Haki, you can use a reaction to remain in your form instead of reverting. If the effect would apply to you for an extended duration, you resist reverting until the end of your next turn. You cannot use this reaction again until you complete a Long Rest.

Additionally, when any type of damage other than force dealt to your Beast Shape would carry over into your base form when you revert, the amount that carries over to your base form becomes 0.

• Greater Beast Evolution

Devil Fruit Advancement, Very Rare

Prerequisite: Zoan Type

Your knowledge of your Zoan Hybrid form further expands, allowing you to incorporate even more features of your Beast Shape into your Hybrid Form.

Now, when you enter your Hybrid Form, you can choose two additional Hybrid Form Options you can use for the duration of your Hybrid Form.

• Devil's Combo

Devil Fruit Advancement, Very Rare

Prerequisite: Paramecia or Logia Type

When you use your action to cast a spell with your devil fruit, you may make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

• Greater Force

Devil Fruit Advancement, Very Rare

Prerequisite: Zoan Type

Your strength and speed in your beast form have reached their pinnacle.

While in your beast form, you gain a +2 bonus to Strength and Dexterity. This bonus also applies to your hybrid form, if you have one.

• Demonic Burst

Devil Fruit Advancement, Very Rare

Prerequisite: Paramecia or Logia Type

Harnessing your Devil Fruit powers, you can amplify the force of your attacks. Once per turn, when you hit with an attack using a Devil Fruit spell or ability, you can deal an extra 2d6 damage of the same type dealt by the attack to the target.

• Devil Fruit Evolution

Devil Fruit Advancement, Very Rare

Prerequisite: Uncommon or Rare devil fruit

By harnessing your Devil Fruit's capabilities to their full extent, you elevate your power to heights previously uncharted.

Upon taking this advancement, the rarity of your Devil Fruit power is increased by one category for you. Thus, an uncommon fruit becomes rare and a rare fruit becomes very rare. This advancement cannot be applied to a fruit that is already of Very Rare or Legendary rarity.

The elevation in your Devil Fruit's rarity subsequently boosts the range of its powers. Ask your DM to enhance your existing Devil Fruit sheet or craft a new one to accurately represent the increased rarity. The DM must refer to the "Designing a Devil Fruit Sheet with Steps" section for guidance.

When augmenting a Devil Fruit's power according to its new rarity, a few key adjustments should be made. First, the DC for all spells and effects should be increased by one. In addition, the daily maximum of expendable Devil Fruit charges should also be raised. The highest level of spell the fruit can cast should be adjusted. For Zoan type fruits, both the beast shape's Challenge Rating (CR) range and the number of hybrid form features should be increased. However, the awakening ability might not necessarily change. Further modifications to more accurately represent the elevated rarity of the Devil Fruit power should be made at the discretion of the DM.

If the Spirit Surge Event has a rarity higher than Very Rare, use these bonuses: Legendary. You can evolve a Very Rare devil fruit to legendary. 

• Greater Devil Fruit Spells

Devil Fruit Advancement, Legendary

Prerequisite: Paramecia or Logia Type

You have learned how to better use your Devil Fruit powers on an advanced level.

With the help and approval of your DM, you may choose one Spell of any level less than or equal to the spell level maximum of your Devil Fruit's rarity from any class spell list that fits the nature of your Devil Fruit power.

You use the chosen spell as part of your Devil Fruit spells by spending a number of Devil Fruit charges equal to the spell level to use it, no material components required.

• Form Mastery

Devil Fruit Advancement, Legendary

Prerequisite: Zoan or Logia Type

You have now mastered your devil fruit form to such a degree that you can transform as many times as you'd like.

You can now enter your Zoan Hybrid form or Logia Elemental form without a max duration, or until you end it as a bonus action. These forms still end if you fall unconscious or come into contact with seastone.

• Devil Fruit Awakening

Devil Fruit Advancement, Legendary

You've now unlocked the ultimate stage of your Devil Fruit power, granting you the ability to surpass the boundaries of your usual capabilities.

Your "Awakening" ability, as listed on your Devil Fruit sheet, is now accessible to you. If you're a Logia or Paramecia user, refer to the details on your Devil Fruit sheet; if you're a Zoan type, consult the "Designing a Zoan Devil Fruit Sheet" section for more details on your awakening.

Furthermore, if activating your Awakening ability requires you to expend an action, you may enter an Awakened state, which lasts for 1 minute. If your specific Awakening doesn't require spending an action for activation, you must still spend an action to enter your Awakened state.

Should the duration of your Awakened State expire, you hold the option to extend its span for an additional minute, at the cost of incurring a level of exhaustion. If needed, you can further extend this state by enduring an extra level of exhaustion for each additional minute. These levels of exhaustion can only be removed by completing a long rest. Once your Awakened state ends, you cannot use it again for another 24 hours.
