Incarnate

Under the light of the setting sun, an armored tiefling stands

in the center of a roiling battlefield. A ring of light appears
over their head, seemingly capturing the sun's brilliance. At
the same time, beautiful golden wings spring from their
back. They raise their sword into the air and utter a single
word; a truly pure divine utterance. Each warrior on that
field feels their weapons dulling, and their fighting spirits
drain, and each falls to their knees, exhausted. The conflict is
over.
A tall, burly dragonborn stands his ground before a
rampaging minotaur. The dragonborn's horns are curved like
a bull's, and their claws are long and caked in ichor. Their
hungry eyes are black as the Abyss itself, and are firmly
locked upon at the beast before them. The minotaur charges,
and the dragonborn matches it. The dragonborn's mouth
opens to reveal rows upon rows of teeth and rips a large
chunk out of the minotaur's neck. They have claimed
another soul; they are satisfied. For now.
A gnome places her hand on body of an owlbear, killed
but left to rot. She utters some words to the plants, and the
path of the poachers fills her mind. After a day of tracking,
she

finds their camp and walks to its center. The form of a

great, incorporeal dryad appears behind her. Before

the hunters could even draw their weapons, they

were wrapped in vines and skewered with spear-

like thorns—save for one, spared so they would

spread word of the new forest's guardian.

All of these mighty figures are incarnates:

beings who have tapped into the depth of

power within their souls. Incarnates are

mortals who become incarnations of

cosmic archetypes like angels or demons.

Their souls are exposed to the constant

flux of power that suffuses the multi-

verse; a power that they learn to wield

as it fundamentally alters what they are.

Of Two Parts
Mortal beings are comprised of their soul,

which houses their ego and intellect, and

body, which anchors their soul to the prime

material world. Through death or powerful

magic, the link between these two can be

severed. For a select few, when this happens,

they find the strength of will, of presence, to hold on to

their spirit, and to bind it through sheer determination.

This binding is almost always incomplete, leaving the

soul in the body, but permanently exposed to magic

and energy that radiates from the planes.

The moment of binding is thrilling, like a source

of unspeakable power flowing from within you.

Immediately, the incarnate is forced to confront

the most refined, archetypal version of who they

are—their very essence. Some say they see the visions of

past lives, and others report dark portents. As an incarnate
begins to explore this crystallized facet of their identity,
their exposed soul begins reacting to the magic around it.
The cosmic forces react to the creature's beliefs, alignment,
and self perceptions and begins to mold the incarnate into a
cosmic being.

1
Of Unified Intent
As an incarnate confronts their inner self and cultivates
their soulborn magic, they inevitably find themselves
drifting towards unity. They come to terms with their new
reality, and their body and soul begin to rejoin anew. Like
the beings of the outer planes, the incarnate's soul becomes
its body, and its body becomes its soul.
Bearing the soul of such defining cosmic entities
undoubtedly alters the psyche and perspective of its bearer.
Its common that an incarnate seeks out entities they take
after in order to learn more of what they are becoming. The
developing kinship often create incarnates that aspire to the
same heights as these creatures.
Creating an Incarnate
The most important thing to think about when you are
making an incarnate is the moment where their soul was
severed from their body. How did it happen? Were they in
the midst of a raid and got cut down, only to force
themselves back to life before bleeding out? Were they
sickly and on their death bed, but with a heart that refused
to die? Or maybe the work of a mad wizard or ardent
celestial intentionally severed your body and soul?
Whatever the reason, the impetus for the shift is likely to
color your perceptions of this power you have come across.
While an incarnate does not immediately obtain an
incarnation, the cosmic forces that respond to your incarnate
aren't likely to change massively from the time of
transformation. Think about your character's alignment and
temperament, and where they would fit into the cosmos. A
character's self perception can drastically alter the kind of
power that seeks out their exposed spirit, however. A
character that thinks themselves a monster may find
themselves filled with demonic power, and a character that
thinks themselves a messiah may find themselves filled
with the power of upper planes.
Quick Build
You can make an incarnate quickly by following these
suggestions. What score you should make your highest
depends on your Soul Shape: Strength or Dexterity for
Shape of the Warrior, Strength for Shape of the Beast, and
Charisma for Shape of the Guardian and Shape of the
Conduit. If Strength or Dexterity is your highest score, make
Charisma your second highest score. If Charisma is your
highest score, make Constitution your second highest score.

Mixing and Matching Chapter 5 of the Player's Handbook.
Incarnate is different from other classes in that it has
two subclasses in its Cosmic Incarnations and Souls
Shapes. Much of the fun of incarnate comes from
taking these two specializations and mixing and
matching them in interesting ways to inspire and
inform your characters. Are you an angelic warrior, or
a monstrous celestial beast? Each of these
combinations have unique ramifications for who
your character is. Read ahead to see which of these
combinations fit your character idea the best.
New Spells
Incarnate introduces many new spell options. Any
spells marked with a ◈ can be found at the end of
the document under the New Spells section.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the incarnate spells you know and replace it
with another spell from the incarnate spell list, which also
must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your incarnate
spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability
to project your soul into the world. 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 an incarnate 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
Soul Focus
When you cast spells that require a material component, you
can ignore that component unless it has an indicated cost, in
which case you must have that specific component before
you can cast the spell as normal.
Soulburn
Also at 2nd level, your soul can burn through its vast
reserves of latent magic in moments of great peril. As a
bonus action, you can enter a soulburn, which lasts for 1
minute, until you are incapacitated, or until you choose to
end it (no action required). When entering this state, choose
an emotion to channel: determination, elation, fear, or fury.
While in this state, you can't use your soul barrier, but you
gain the following benefits:
You radiate bright light of a color of your choice in a 10-
foot radius. This light ignores magical darkness.
As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can choose
to lose a number of hit points equal to half your incarnate
level. If you do, your soul barrier recovers an equal
amount of any missing shielding power, and you gain an
additional benefit based on your chosen emotion.
You can use this feature once, and regain any expended
uses when you finish a long rest. You can use this feature
twice between long rests starting at 6th level and three
times between long rests starting at 18th level.
Determination
You can use your soul barrier during your soul burn. If you
have less than half your maximum hit points remaining,
your barrier gains half again as many hit points every time
you sacrifice hit points this way (rounded up).
Elation
When you sacrifice hit points this way, you have advantage
on the next attack you make before the start of your next
turn.
Urgency
When you sacrifice hit points this way, your speed increases
by 10 plus 5 times the number of hit points sacrificed until
the start of your next turn.
Fury
When you sacrifice hit points this way, you deal bonus
damage to the next creature you deal damage to before the
end of your next turn. This damage is equal to 1d4 plus the
amount of hit points spent.
4
 Cosmic Incarnation
Starting at 3rd level, you choose the archetypal cosmic force
your soul has begun to mimic. Generally, an incarnate's soul
seeks to mimic cosmic forces that embody the individual's
views. Choose one of the following: Celestial Soul, Abyssal
Soul, or Verdant Soul.
Your choice of incarnation grants you features at 3rd level,
7th level, 14th level, and 18th level.
Incarnation Selective Spell Lists
Each incarnation has a list of spells associated with it,
detailed in the its description. When you reach certain
levels in this class, you learn one spell of your choice from
the spells presented. A spell learned this way counts as an
incarnate spell for you, but it doesn't count against the
number of incarnate spells you know. If either spell is not in
the incarnate spell list, it is added to the list for you.
Manifest Auras
Also at 3rd level, you learn how to make the essence of a
creature's soul visible to you. As an action, you can activate
this sight for the next minute. For the duration, every
creature within 30 feet of you appears to radiate a colorful
aura in your vision. Each creature's aura appears differently
based on their cosmic significance and power. You can see
this aura through cover, and even if the creature is invisible,
allowing you to ignore the condition. You know the
emotional state of every creature you see this way, and have
advantage on Wisdom (Insight) and Charisma checks against
them.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice
by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Free Spirit
At 6th level, you can release yourself from pains of the body
and mind in dire moments. When you enter a soulburn you
can choose to end one of the following conditions that may
be affecting yourself: charmed, frightened, poisoned,
deafened, or blinded.
Elevated Being
At 10th level, your body and soul begin to merge into a
singular entity sustained by the cosmos. You gain the
following benefits:
You no longer need to eat, drink, or breathe.
You can choose to be immune to any spell or effect that
would alter your form.
You no longer need to sleep and can’t be forced to sleep
by any means. To gain the benefits of a long rest, you can
spend 4 hours doing light activity.
Additionally, being incapacitated no longer ends your
soulburn.
5
Ascension
Starting at 15th level, your body has become attuned to the
planes. You no longer age and can not die due to the passage
of time, and you can ignore any effects caused by your
environment or current plane of existence.
Additionally, you can cast plane shift without expending a
spell slot. You can ignore the material components of
planeshift if you use it to teleport to a plane you've been on
before. Once you cast a spell using this feature, you can't do
so again until you finish a long rest.
Immortal
At 20th level, you have become an outsider, a being at one
energy of the multiverse. You can't be unwillingly possessed,
teleported, or raised as an undead, nor can your soul be
unwillingly stolen, eaten, or trapped.
You can spend a week designating an unoccupied 10 foot-
cube as your anchor. A monument of your own design
appears in that area. Only a deity or the wish spell can move
or destroy this monument. If you die, a new dormant copy of
your body appears on the monument. In 1d4 weeks, you
awaken from this new body, retaining the same personality,
memories, and abilities, as well any equipment you were
attuned to, which are teleported to the monument when you
awaken. Before you awaken, this body has 5 AC and 1HP. If it
dies, a new one begins growing with the same roll of the d4.
If a spell that has the sole effect of restoring you to life (but
not undeath) is cast on this body, you instantly awaken.
Soul Shapes
The shape of one's soul determines much of an individual's
outlook, and this is truer still for an incarnate, for whom this
configuration is laid bare. Some say that these shapes align
to cosmic archetypes written into the foundation of reality,
whereas others say they are an emergent property of the
soul being torn from the body. Many hold to the notion that
these shapes are endemic and immutable, but more recently
many have begun to suspect otherwise.
Regardless, for an incarnate the shape of their soul at the
time of awakening becomes an immutable part of the entity
they have become. Within this configuration an incarnate
finds power and abilities otherwise unbeknownst to them.
An incarnate can find themselves flooded with the
memories of ancestors, latent potential, or even the presence
of other beings within their spirit.
Shape of the Warrior
This soul shape opens the incarnate's eyes to the glory of
battle, and bestows uncanny martial prowess, even if they
had never once picked up a blade prior. These incarnates
are found on the battlefield, compelled to achieve glory
through victory on an essential level. They are the prisoners
with fire in their eyes, held in chains at the end of a battle,
those born under the crimson tide of war, the children of
chosen of Ysgard or the cursed of Acheron. No matter their
origin, this soul shape is defined by overcoming hardship.
 Martial Spirit
Also at 1st level, you can call upon your warrior spirit to
perform extraordinary martial feats. You learn how to use
three of the maneuvers of your choice listed below. Once you
use a maneuver, you can't use any of these maneuvers again
until the start of your next turn.
Behemoth's Bane When making an attack against a Large
or larger creature with advantage, you can forgo advantage
to deal an additional weapon die of damage on a hit.
Crippling Blow. When you hit a creature with a weapon
attack, you can decrease their speeds by 10 feet until the
start of your next turn.
Groundbreaker. When you hit a prone creature with a
weapon attack, you can deal additional force damage equal
to the ability modifier used for the attack.
Titan's Grip. When you successfully grapple a creature,
you can deal force damage to that creature equal to 1d4 +
half your incarnate level.
Piercing Echo. When you hit a creature with a weapon
attack, you can deal force damage equal to your Charisma
modifier to a different creature that is within 5 feet of the
original target and within range of your weapon.
Unstoppable Advance. When you hit a creature with a
weapon attack, you can push the target 10 feet directly left,
right, or backwards. You can immediately move 10 feet
towards them without provoking opportunity attacks.
Twin Strikes. When you take the Attack action while
wielding a melee weapon in each hand and make an attack
with one of those weapons, you can immediately make an
additional attack with the other weapon. You don’t add your
ability modifier to the damage of these additional attacks,
unless it is negative. You can't make a weapon attack using
your bonus action and use this maneuver on the same turn.
Starting at 5th level, you can use this maneuver on the
second attack you make as part of the Attack action as well.

Warrior Selective Spells Extra Attack

At 2nd, 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th level, you learn your choice of
one of the two spells presented at that level in the Warrior
Selective Spells table. A spell learned this way counts as an
incarnate spell for you, but it doesn't count against the
number of incarnate spells you know. If either spell is not in
the incarnate spell list, it is added to the list for you.

Warrior Embodied
At 1st level, you have an innate understanding of martial
warfare. You are proficient with martial weapons, all armor,
and shields.
Additionally, you have advantage on any Intelligence
checks made to discern information related to wars, battles,
or other forms of military action.
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Inexorable Spirit
At 11th level, the soul of the warrior grants you an incredible
resilience in the face of hardship. When you reduce an
attack's damage to zero using your Soul Barrier, you can
reaction.
Warborn
At 15th level, your soul burns brightest in the largest of
battles. When you enter the state of soulburning, every
hostile creature within 30 feet of you takes 1d10 necrotic
damage. You gain temporary hit points equal to the sum of
the damage dealt (maximum of three times your incarnate
level). These temporary hit points last until your soulburn
ends.
Shape of the Conduit
Incarnates of this soul shape are funnels for cosmic energy;
it responds to their call more strongly than for other
incarnates. These incarnates are born of a desire for control
or raw power. They say that conduits have the soul of a mage
due to the ease with which magic can come to them.
Regardless, the presence of a shape of the conduit incarnate
is hard to ignore.

6
 Embodied Magic
At 1st level, you are more connected to the magic of your
soul. You learn both spells of your Cosmic Incarnation's
selective spell list at 3rd, 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels,
instead of only one at each, and you can cast any incarnate
spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag. You
know the mage armor spell, and it is an incarnate spell for
you. You can cast it as if it had the ritual tag.
Additionally, choose one of the following classes: bard,
cleric, druid, warlock, wizard. You learn two cantrips of your
choice from that class's spell list and they count as incarnate
spells for you.
Soul Tether
At 1st level, you can seize a portion of a creature's soul to
your own. As an action, you can manifest this tether on a
creature you can see within 60 feet of you, which appears as
a translucent ethereal cloud which reaches from you to the
target. The target remains tethered until you use this feature
on another creature, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, or
until they are farther than 60 feet away from you.
As part of the action used to create the tether, and as an
action on subsequent turns, you can impose one of the
following effects on the creature:
Disrupt Energy. Make a melee spell attack against the
creature. This attack ignores cover. On a hit, they take force
damage equal to 2d10 force damage.
This damage increases to 3d10 at 5th level, 4d10 at 11th
level, and 5d10 at 17th level.
Supplant Energy. The creature must make a Charisma
saving throw, which they can choose to fail. On a failure, the
first attack they make before the end of their next turn is
made with advantage or disadvantage (your choice).
Starting at 5th level, if the attack hits, its damage is
increased or reduced by 1d10 (your choice). This increases to
2d10 at 11th level, and 3d10 at 17th level.
Manipulate Energy. The creature must make a Wisdom
saving throw, which they can choose to fail. On a failure, you
forcibly move creature up to 15 feet in a direction using one
of its speeds, ignoring opportunity attacks.
This movement increases to 20 feet at 5th level, 25 feet at
11th level, and 30 feet at 17th level.
7
Spiritual Recovery
At 5th level, you can regain some of your magical energy by
slowly absorbing ambient life energy from the world around
you. During a short rest, you choose expended spell slots to
recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is
equal to or less than half your incarnate level (rounded up),
and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You can't use
this feature again until you finish a long rest
For example, when you are a 5th-level incarnate, you can
recover up to three levels worth of spell slots, You can
recover either a 2nd-level slot and a 1st-level slot, or three
1st-level slots.
Soul Furnace
Also at 5th level, you can consume some of your own soul
power to enhance your spells further. Whenever you spend
a spell slot to cast an incarnate spell, you can choose to lose
a number of hit points from your Soul Barrier equal to three
times the spell slot's level to cast that spell as if you used a
spell slot one level higher. If there aren't enough hit points
in the barrier, this ability fails.
Exalted Magic
Starting at 11th level, you can tap into the very foundation of
your soul in order to cast a higher tier of magic. Choose one
6th-level spell from the the spell list the class you chose in
your Embodied Magic feature. You learn that spell and it is
an incarnate spell for you.
You gain a special 6th-level spell slot you can use to cast
this spell or any other incarnate spell you know. Once you
use this spell slot you can't use it again until you finish a
long rest.
At 15th level, you learn more spells of your choice from
that class's spell list: a 7th-level and an 8th-level spell.
Additionally, you gain a special 7th and 8th-level spell slot
that function in the same way.

Shape of the Guardian
The shape of the guardian grants the incarnate a guardian
spirit, which watches over and protects them and their allies
from harm. It may be that the guardian is sentient, born of a
fragment of suppressed personality or it was a separate
entity that bonded with your soul without your knowledge.
Or perhaps, your guardian may also be a manifestation of
your will to protect, born of a moment in your past where
you wished you had the power to save a loved one.
Guardian Selective Spells
At 2nd, 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th level, you learn your choice of
one of the two spells presented at that level in the Guardian
Selective Spells table. A spell learned this way counts as an
incarnate spell for you, but it doesn't count against the
number of incarnate spells you know. If either spell is not in
the incarnate spell list, it is added to the list for you.
Incarnate Level Spells
2nd spectral flurry ◈, sanctuary
5th guardian's launch ◈, warding bond
9th soul harness ◈, spirit guardians
13th death ward, resilient sphere
17th titan's soul ◈, wall of force
Embodied Guardian
At 1st level, a guardian figure has emerged from your soul,
taking a shape based on your incarnation. You can summon
or dismiss your guardian at any time (no action required),
but it automatically summons itself whenever it senses you
are in danger. Your guardian hovers in your space, can't be
targeted by any effect, and grants you the following benefits:
Guardian's Protection. Your guardian shields you from
blows. Your AC equals 10 + half your Charisma score. You
can use this feature to determine your AC if the armor and
shield you wear would leave you with a lower AC.
Guardian's Strike. As an action, you can direct your
guardian to make a melee spell attack against target within 5
feet of you. It uses your proficiency bonus, and you add your
Charisma modifier to its attack and damage rolls. On a hit, it
deals 1d8 force damage. You can use this attack when a
creature provokes an opportunity attack from you, and it
deals twice as much damage to objects and structures.
This strike's damage increases by 2d8 at 5th level (3d8),
and again at 11th (5d8) and 17th levels (7d8).
Guardian's Form. Your guardian can interact with the
world. It is considered a Large creature with a Strength
score equal to your Charisma score, even though it only
occupies your space. Whenever you would make an ability
check or saving throw that uses Strength, or attempt to
perform an action that depends on strength such as grapple
or jump, you can use your Charisma modifier instead.
Guardian's Will
At 5th level, your guardian can move on its own to better
protect you and your allies. Your Soul Barrier's pool of
shielding power increases by 5, and increases by 1 again
every time you gain a level in this class.
While you are not soulburning and an ally within 30 feet of
you takes damage, your guardian can choose to expend any
amount of shielding power from its pool to reduce the
damage by that amount. Until the end of their next turn, any
damage they take that is equal to or less than the amount of
power you spent is reduced to 0.
Once your guardian protects someone this way, it can't do
so again until the start of your next turn.
Stalwart Sentry
At 11th level, your guardian gains the ability to draw on
your power and act on its own in the space around you. On
your turn, your guardian can move to a space within 30 feet
of you that is not occupied by a hostile creature (no action
required). It immediately returns to your space at the start of
your next turn, when you take damage, or when you make an
opportunity attack using Guardian's Strike.
Your guardian does not occupy the space, and you can use
your senses as if you were in your guardian's space. You can
direct it to make Guardian's Strikes from that position, and
you can cast your spells as if you were standing there. If a
creature moves out of your guardian's reach, you can use
your reaction to direct the guardian to make an opportunity
attack against the creature with its Guardian's Strike.
Guardian's Service
At 15th level, you guardian can bring you back from the
brink. When you would be reduced to 0 hit points, you can

your Soulburn feature to use this feature.
Shape of the Beast
The soul of a beast is a primal, feral force that mutates the
incarnate into something more monstrous. The soul of the
beast pushes it's wielder towards survival at all costs, and
savagery in the face of complacency. As you grow into this
power, you gain abilities that allow you to shift and change
yourself to best suit your environment. These incarnates
tend to be born in harsh and wild environments, be the
result of abandonment or abuse, or be the product of
environments that otherwise cause them to put their own
survival first.

At 2nd, 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th level, you learn your choice of
one of the two spells presented at that level in the Warrior

number of incarnate spells you know. If either spell is not in
the incarnate spell list, it is added to the list for you.

 Embodied Ferocity
At 1st level, your form changes to become more monstrous
and beastly.
Unarmored Defense. Your body takes on a more
monstrous or wild appearance. You grow scales, fur, bony
plating, or similar protections. While you are wearing no
armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 13 + your
Charisma modifier.
Natural Weapons. You develop up to three natural
weapons, which you are proficient with and can use to make
melee weapon attacks. These can take the shape of horns,
claws, sharpened teeth, club-like arms, a barbed tail or
similar features. On a hit, they deal magical bludgeoning,
piercing, or slashing damage, as appropriate for the weapon,
equal to 1d10 + your Strength modifier.
Choose one of these weapons to gain one of the following
benefits: the reach or ranged 20/60 weapon property,
advantage on attacks against targets grappled by you, or its
damage die is increased to 2d6.

Rampage
Also at 1st level, your beastly soul demands you to rend
down those who stand in your way. Once each turn, when
you score a critical hit or reduce a creature to 0 hit points,
you can move up to half your speed and make a single
weapon attack with a natural weapon against a different
creature.

Healing Touch
Also at 3rd level, the divine aspect of your aura lets you
direct your energy to heal the wounds of others. As a bonus
action, you touch a creature and they regain hit points equal
to 1d10 + your Charisma modifier + your incarnate level.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.
Starting at 7th level, when you heal someone using this
feature, you can free a creature from any curse, as well as
end any disease, poison, blindness, or deafness afflicting it.
Divine Proclamation
At 7th level, you have learned an element of the language of
divine creation. As an action, you utter one of the divine
words listed below. Every creature within 30 feet of you is
affected by the proclamation.
Peace. For the next minute, any time a creature under
this effect is attacked, the attack is made at disadvantage.
If the creature is forced to make a saving throw, the
saving throw is made at advantage. If a creature attacks
or forces another creature to make a saving throw, they
lose this benefit.
Humility. You can inflict 8d6 radiant damage to each
creature. A creature can choose to kneel and become
prone to avoid the damage.
Salvation. Each conscious creature with no more than
half of their maximum hit points regains health equal to
equal to 2d6 + your incarnate level.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Seraphic Form
Starting at 14th level, you can use a bonus action to manifest
pairs of spectral wings from your back. While the wings are
present, you have a flying speed of 30 feet. The wings last
until you're incapacitated, you die, or you dismiss them as a
bonus action. Additionally, you gain resistance to radiant
damage.
Aura of Paradise
At 18th level, you can extend the influence of your heavenly
soul into the very earth on which you stand. As an action,
you can exude a powerful aura of positive energy that affect
all creatures of your choice within 120 feet. An affected
creature either regains 10d6 hit points or takes 10d6 radiant
damage (your choice). As the aura extends from you, it turns
the area within 120 feet of you into a heavenly version of
itself for 1 hour, gaining the following properties:
Any magical darkness, curse, or disease within the area is
suppressed.
Creatures within the area feel perfectly sated, as they do
not need to eat, drink, or breathe.
Whenever a creature makes an attack against a creature
with 0 hit points, it must succeed on a Charisma saving
throw or the attack misses. On a success, it rolls the attack
as normal.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest
before you can use it again.
Additionally, if you stay in this area for the entire hour, its
duration extends to 24 hours. If you use this feature in the
same place every day for 30 days it becomes permanent.
This transformation can only be ended with the wish spell.
Abyssal Soul
Some incarnates feel a wellspring of dark ambition within
them, guiding their souls towards the ceaseless hunger of the
abyss. It may be that a demon has cursed your soul, or that
this black flame was lit of your own volition, or that you are
the product of a dark lineage. Whatever the reason, your
soul has grown closer to the abyss, and within that fact you
have found an insatiable yearning for power, and a means to
obtain it.
Abyssal Selective Spell List
Incarnate Level Spells
3rd cause fear, chromatic orb
5th crown of madness, darkness
9th fireball, summon lesser demon
13th dimension door, summon greater demon
17th cloudkill, dominate person
Abyssal Sight
At 3rd level, your eyes have taken on an unnatural hue, and
seem to eat the light around them. You can see in dim light
and darkness within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.
You can speak, read, and write Abyssal while in dim light
or darkness.
Eternal Hunger
Also at 3rd level, the vile energy of the lower planes has
gripped your spirit, and pervaded your mind, instilling
within you an insatiable lust for power.
Whenever you reduce a creature of at least CR 1/8 to 0 hit
points, you gain one corrupted essence, as you consume a
portion of their soul. You can store a maximum number of
corrupted essences equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of one). Whenever you finish a long rest, your
number of corrupted essences resets to one.
Once per turn, when you roll an attack, ability check, or
saving throw, you can consume a single corrupted essence to
add 1d4 to the result. You can do so after seeing the initial
roll but before any of the roll's effects occur.
Virulent Corruption
At 7th level, your presence begins to corrupt the souls of
creatures around you. As an action, you can force a creature
within 60 feet of you that you can see to make a Charisma
saving throw. On a failure, that creature has an abyssal mark
seared into their flesh. For the next minute, they are
overtaken by an abyssal hunger. For the duration, the target
becomes hostile to all other creatures, and attacks whatever
creature is nearest to it to the best of its ability. The target
can make a Charisma saving throw at the end of each of its
turns. On a success, this effect ends.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
10
 Subjugate
At 14th level, you can emulate a fraction of a demon lord's
crushing presence. You gain resistance to acid, fire,
lightning, or poison damage (your choice). You are immune to
being frightened, and when another creature attempts to
frighten you, you can use your reaction to attempt to turn
the fear back on that creature. The creature must succeed on
a Charisma saving throw or be frightened by you for 1
minute, or until it breaks line of sight with you.
Pecking Order
At 14th level, your soul has become corrupt and powerful
enough to rend demonic spirits and bend them to your will.
You have advantage on all skill checks and saving throws
made against demons whose CR is less than or equal to half
of your level, and such demons have disadvantage on all
attack rolls, skill checks, and saving throws made against
you.
Overlord
At 18th level, the abyss has granted you your own domain
squeezed between its boundless layers. As an action, you
tear a hole through space, creating a portal in an unoccupied
space within 5 feet of you that opens up into your own
personal dimension. The portal is large enough to allow
Large creatures to pass unhindered, and lasts 1 minute.
Your domain starts as an empty cubic room 500 feet long
on side, made of metal, stone, bone, flesh or similar materials.
By spending 10 minutes concentrating while inside, you can
create, alter, or destroy a nonmagical structure or object, or
change the audible, visual, tactile, and olfactory properties
inside your domain. For example, you can create a fortress,
or make the ceiling look like a sky, and create clouds that
constantly pour down rain. Anything that is created within
your domain disappears immediately if it is taken out, and
can't be used as a material component.
No matter where you are, you always know if a creature is
inside of your domain, what it looks like, and where exactly
it is. While inside your domain, you can use an action to
reopen the portal in the closest unoccupied space to the last
location you opened it. Only one portal to your domain made
using this feature can exist at a time.
Verdant Soul
Those incarnates who feel most at home in the forests and
wilderness are sometimes taken in mother nature's
nurturing grasp. Granted an inherent kinship with the earth,
these incarnates are normally protectors of nature, or
protected by nature. Whenever a child is given to the wilds
or blessed by the spirits of the trees, there is a chance that
their soul will bloom into a resplendent flower.

Verdant Tongue
At 3rd level, thin vines sprout from our body and your skin
becomes smooth as a plants' stem. You can speak, read, and
write Sylvan, and beasts and plants can understand the
meaning of your words, though you can't understand their
responses. You have advantage on all skill checks you make
to influence them.
Additionally, you know the druidcraft cantrip, and its an
incarnate spell for you.
Cradle of Nature
Also at 3rd level, your soul radiates an aura which causes
the land to rise up to your cause. As a bonus action, you can
encase a willing creature in a shell of natural elements, like
plants and rocks, until the start of your next turn, or until
they are hit by an attack. While they have this shell, that
creature gains a bonus to their AC equal to your Charisma
modifier and melee attacks against them cause the attacker
to take piercing damage equal to your Charisma modifier.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.
Body of the Forest
Starting at 7th level, as an action, you can assume a form
wherein bark and live branches grow from your body, and
your limbs turn to thick vines. This form lasts until you end
it as a bonus action, or until you are incapacitated. While in
this form, you are under the following effects:
Your speed is halved, and your size increases to Large, as
your dimensions double and weight is octupled. Your
equipment also increases in size for as long as they are on
your person.
Once each turn, when you make an attack, you can make
another attack against a creature within 5 feet of it, using
the same attack roll as the original attack.
The area within 10 feet of you is difficult terrain for
hostile creatures.
You add your Charisma modifier to any ability check
made to disguise yourself as part of a natural landscape
or to hide in natural overland terrain.
Call of the Wild
At 14th level, your soul radiates a pureness that resonates
within hearts of the wilderness. You can communicate with
plants, plant creatures and beasts as if you shared a
language, and you can understand them perfectly regardless
of their intelligence. Plants without an intelligence score
respond as if they had an intelligence score of 1, and if you
ask a plant about something which does not directly pertain
to it and its wellbeing, it can only communicate information
about events that occurred within the past day.
Conjure Primeval Guardian
Also at 14th level, you can use your action to cause a seed to
emerge from your palm and toss it to an unoccupied space
within 30 feet. The seed immediately grows into a great tree
creature with the statistics of a treant (Monster Manual, page
289), except that it has a Charisma and Intelligence score of
1, and lacks the Animate Trees action. It turns into a
nonmagical tree and roots itself into the earth or rock after 1
hour, when it drops to 0 hit points, or when you dismiss it as
a bonus action.
In combat, it acts on its own initiative. When you summon it
and on each of your turns, you can issue a verbal command
for its next turn (no action required). If you issue no
command, it defends itself and any plants or beasts near it.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you
finish a long rest.
Bonded Tree
At 18th level, you can create a massive tree which is
magically bound to you. As an action, you can create this
tree in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. The tree
has a 15-foot radius and is 250 feet tall at its tallest peak. If
the tree can't fit in the area, this ability fails. The tree lasts
for 24 hours. The tree becomes permanent if you use this
feature every day in the same place for one month. You
automatically know if this tree is ever harmed, and you
know the identity of the creature that harmed it.
The area within 30 feet of the tree is magically protected.
You can choose to affect the area with the effects of three of
the following spells, centered on points of your choice:
entangle, fog cloud, gust of wind, spike growth, wind wall , or
a similar effect the DM deems fit. These effects last as long
as the tree, and creatures of your choice can completely
ignore their effects.
Additionally, while you have any existing sacred trees,
you can use your action to open a portal in an unoccupied
space within 5 feet of you that connects to one of your sacred
trees of your choice, which lasts 1 minute or until you
dismiss it (no action required). The portal must fit within a
20-foot square, and must be created on a natural surface,
such as unworked stone, a field of glass, or the bark of a tree.
Alternatively, you can create a portal from one of your
sacred trees to the last place you created a portal.
Once you use create a sacred tree or a portal using this
feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
Draconic Soul
The ferocious and prideful of the incarnates can soon find
themselves gripped by the soul of dragon. Draconic Soul
incarnates find within themselves confidence and a sense of
superiority. Draconic power is intoxicating, and many find
themselves desperate to emulate the hoards of dragons or to
find draconic artifacts to increase their power.

Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Your muscles become wound and dense and horns sprout
from your skull (if you don't already have them), and you
rush forward. Choose a target within range that you can see.
You move in a straight line directly towards that target. The
spell fails if there is not a direct path between you and the
target that you can traverse using one of your speeds.
During this movement, you have resistance to all damage
and you can run through spaces occupied by other
creatures. Any creature whose space your run through takes
1d10 piercing damage is pushed to the nearest unoccupied
space of their choice that out of your path.
When you reach your target, you gore it, causing it to
make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, the creature
takes 3d10 piercing damage, and is knocked prone as you
slam it into the ground. If you choose an object or structure,
it instead takes 30 piercing damage.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage done to the target
increases by 1d10, and the damage done to obstacles
increases by 10, for each spell level above 2nd.

Primal Wrath
3rd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action

For the duration, your body swells in size as you grow
monstrous features. For example, any natural weapons you
have become larger and more brutish, you grow scales, fur,
or other forms of covering. For the duration, you double in
all dimensions, and their weight is multiplied by eight. This
growth increases your size by one category—from Medium
to Large, for example. If there isn't enough room for you to
double in size, you attain the maximum possible size in the
space available. Any equipment on your person merges into
your form for the duration, though you still benefit from the
effects of items you have attuned to.
For the duration, your unarmed strikes or natural weapons
deal an additional 1d8 damage, and your jump distance
equals your speed. Additionally, you add your spellcasting
modifier to Strength checks and saving throws, and your
speed isn't halved while moving a grappled target. Lastly,

forcing every creature within 10 feet of you succeed on a
Dexterity saving throw or take 2d12 bludgeoning damage

your enemies. When you cast this spell, and as a bonus
action on subsequent turns for the duration, you can conjure
an aspect of your guardian to hold down your enemies. A
portion of your guardian's reaches up from below and grasps
the creature. For example, if your guardian takes the form of
a dryad, the creature can appear to be wrapped in vines, or
they can be trapped in a dragon's claw or maw if your
guardian takes the form of a dragon.

points are equal to yours. It has the same senses as you, and
uses your proficiency modifier. It is proficient in all saving
throws, as well as any skills you are proficient in.
When you are in the same combat, the guardian takes its
turn on your initiative rather than rolling its own. The
guardian has an innate connection with you, and therefore
acts exactly as you would want it to. It has a 60 foot fly
speed, and on its turns it can take the Dodge, Dash,
Disengage, and Search actions, or one of the following
actions:
Titan's Wrath. Your guardian exudes an aura of killing

Charisma saving throw or become frightened of the guardian
until start of its next turn. While frightened this way,
creatures have their speed reduced to 0.
Titan's Guard. Your guardian connects it's life force to
that of another creature. Choose a creature within 5 feet of
the guardian that it can see. Any damage that creature takes
before the start of its next turn is reduced to 0. The guardian
takes any damage that was reduced this way.
Titan's Assault. Your guardian brutally strikes down a
creature within 10 feet of it. The guardian makes an melee
spell attack against it using your spell attack modifier. On a
hit, the target takes 3d10 force damage and is pushed back
10 feet.
