Magical Girl

A
demon rages through the hallways of the
Arcane College, tearing students in half as they
flee. One apprentice stands defiant, placing her
fingertips on a jeweled bracelet. With a sudden
flash, the girl transforms into a statuesque
figure in magnificent white robes.
A young squire presents his signet ring to the blackguard. A
swirling mist fills the area- and when it clears, a knight in
shimmering golden armor stands where the squire was
standing. He draws his oversized greatsword, and smirks
beneath his armor.
Despite the name, Magical Girls are not necessarily
female, but the most iconic characters of this class are.
Magical Girls are mundane people with the extraordinary
ability to transform into a powerful alternate form.
Keeping a Promise
There are two sources of a Magical Girl's power: a magical
promise, and a heirloom given to the character. The Magical
Girl makes a promise, and is given the heirloom. The
heirloom allows the magical girl to transform.
Transformation gives the Magical Girl the power to complete
her promise. It is a cyclical relationship that constantly
reminds the Magical Girl what she is fighting for.
Naturally, the new form provided by the transformation
tends to embody the ideals of the promise. The new form may
look and act more like the heirloom’s original owner than the
Magical Girl using it.
The Power of Friendship
A Magical Girl feels empowered by the presence of her
friends. These are the ones whom she truly cares about, and
may be the reason for her promise.
When a Magical Girl is not giving their all in combat to
protect their ideals, they are often found engaging in a
multitude of light hobbies. From making friendship bracelets,
to brewing tea, and napping to their heart's content.
Among most groups of friends, disputes are sure to take
place over a conflict of priorities. Most Magical Girls strive to
serve as an adequate seer to propose a middleground or
compromise to make everyone happy. Magical Girls most
often don't have a strong opinion on the sides of these types
of disputes and would be most accepting of whichever
method their friends would be happiest with. They would
rather have everyone get along as a tight-knit family, as
opposed to a group of rascals who would be better off
separating.
An act of true seperation from a very close friend, would be
heartrendingly painful to a Magical Girl, even to the point
where they may lose their own way.

Equipment
You start with the following equipment in addition to the
equipment gained by your background.
Your heirloom, which could be (a) a signet ring, (b) an
amulet, (c) a set of fine clothes, or (d) a martial weapon of
your choice.
(a) A quarterstaff or (b) a dagger.
(a) a diplomat's pack or (b) a scholar's pack.
And a bag with Two tomes of lore on subjects of your
choice.
Magical Promise
At 1st level, you declare a magical promise that you must
never break, and this will determine the abilities and the
manifestations of your transformation with either a Promise
of Friendship, a Promise of Safety, a Promise of
Understanding, or a Promise of Retribution, each of which is
detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice
grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, and
14th level.
Transformation
At 1st level, as a bonus action you may undergo a magical
transformation into your alternate form. The transformation
generally has a cosmetic change. This could be something
minor, such as a difference in hair color, or it could be a major
change, such as a new outfit suddenly appearing over your
clothing. Transforming requires the magical girl's heirloom.
In order to transform, you must be able to take actions, and
your heirloom must be on your person. You have two uses of
your Transformation at first level, which return after a short
or long rest. While you are transformed, you gain the
following traits:
Armor Class. While you are transformed and not wearing
armor, your armor class is equal to 10 + your Dexterity
Modifier + your Charisma modifier. You can use a shield and
still gain this benefit.
Duration. You can maintain your Transformation for up to
one hour. If you are knocked unconscious, your
transformation ends early.
Size. You become a medium humanoid creature,
regardless of what your original form was.
Radiant Weapons. When you transform, you may choose
to summon one or more weapons from the list below:
Up to two thrown weapons which, if thrown, dissipate and
reappear in your hands at the end of your turn.
Any nonmagical weapon with the ammunition property,
which has unlimited ammunition.
Two light weapons.
Up to two one-handed weapons, or one-handed weapon
and a shield.
A two-handed weapon.
These weapons are made of radiant energy, and shed
bright light in a 5-foot radius. Since these weapons are made
of light, they deal radiant damage, instead of their normal
damage type. These radiant weapons cannot be wielded by
anyone other than you, and dissipate as soon as they leave
your hand.
While you are wielding your radiant weapons, you may
transform your current weapon (or weapons) into a different
option on the list above, or dispel your radiant weapons
completely, as a bonus action. If you do not have your radiant
weapons in hand, you may use your action to conjure them.
Charm Casting
At 2nd level, Magical Girls gain access to a unique form of
Spellcasting called Charm Casting, which can only be
accessed by their transformed selves.
Spells Slots
Each time you Transform, you gain one spell slot; if you revert
back to your normal form, the spell slot is wasted. The level of
the spell slot is shown on the Magical Girl table. At 11th level,
you gain a second spell slot whenever you Transform.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st level spells of your choice from the magical
girl spell list.
The Spells Known column of the magical girl table shows
when you learn more magical girl spells of your choice of 1st
level or higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher
than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your
level.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your magical girl
spells, so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to
your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a magical girl
spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Spellcasting Focus
When you cast a spell that requires a material component,
you must use your heirloom as a spellcasting focus.
Fighting Style
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty.
Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting
Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose
again.
Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to ranged attack rolls you make with
ranged weapons.
Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

modifier. You regain expended uses when you complete a
long rest.
Promise Fulfilled

no uses of Transformation left, you regain one use.

Magical Promise
Every magical girl makes a promise that is personal to
themselves. The magical promise you choose reflects the
reason you take up arms.

ambitions, and their goals. Your transformation is an idol of
sorts, a beautiful and inspiring leader.

inspiration to your allies. While you are transformed, you may
use your reaction to add 1d4 to one ability check, attack roll,
or saving throw made by a friendly creature within 30 feet of
you who can see you.

more than fighting alone. When you take the attack action,
you may forfeit your second attack in order to give an ally
within 5 feet of your target advantage on their next attack roll
against that creature.

of 1d4.

confidence. While you are transformed, friendly creatures
within 30 feet of you may roll 1d4 and add the result to one
ability check, attack roll, or saving throw they make before the

the weak. Your transformation is an avatar of battle, capable

could hope to defeat alone.

roll.

against that creature. Once the effect ends, you can't use this

per turn, you may add your Charisma modifier to the damage
roll of an attack you make.

increase an ability score above 20, to a maximum of 22.
