Beautiful forms and well placed colors, is the way these magic users learned to harness their prowess

Creating a Painter Hit Points

Painters thrive on creation, whether those are

the eyes of those who appreciate the beauty of your
creation. Some painters acquire their magical ink
through extraordinary means. Have you got
inspiration from fey creatures, blessed by gods or
other supernatural creatures? Have you served an
apprenticeship, studying under a master, following
the more experienced painters until you were ready
to strike out your own?

Spellcasting
You augment your arcane prowess with the ability
to cast spells.
Cantrips. At 1st, you learn two cantrips of your
choice from the Sketcher spell list. You learn an
additional cantrip of your choice at 10th level.
Magic Ink. The Spellcasting table shows how many
Ink slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and
higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend
a magic ink slot of the spell’s level or higher. For
example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield and
have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available,
you can cast shield using either slot. You don’t need
any components for those spells other than your ink.
You start with 2 Magic Ink bottles and can use your
initial gold to acquire more. The Magic Ink can be
created by the Painter, doing a magic enchantment
on one ink bottle. You perform a ritual of 1 hour to
each bottle and have no limit to carry but their
weight. Each Enchanted Ink bottle contains 4 Ink
Slots, but you can’t spend for spells more than what
the table says you can spend till you perform a long
rest. This limit is not applied to other effects. Ink
points and needs to be fueled with more ink, but
doesn’t require being enchanted again.
Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know
two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Painters
spell list. The Spells Known column of the Painter
table shows when you learn more painters spells of
your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level
for which you have spell slots. For example, when
you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one
new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, whenever you gain a level in this class,
you can replace one of the spells you know with
another spell of your choice from the spell list. The
new spell must be of a level for which you have spell
slots. You can replace one of the spells you know
with another in long rests if you are with a spell
book or if someone with you has the spell to teach
you the spell you choose.
Spellcasting Ability. Intelligence is your
spellcasting ability for your spells, since you learn
your spells through study and memorization. You
use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your
spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your
Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw
DC for a spell you cast and when making an attack
roll with one.

deciding to use the Painter Inspiration die, but must
decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds
or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it
is lost. A creature can have only one Painter
Inspiration die at a time.
