Divine Guidance
To be a Seeker is to be on a mission given out by a higher
being. Maybe an angel appears in visions or the seeker is able
to hear the whispers of a Prince of Hell, seekers follow a
divine path. Although a seeker’s mission varies, most
commonly they are looking for someone, a person of
importance to their deity such as a prophet, muse, or even an Mind Over Matter
avatar of another god. Unlike a paladin or cleric who may
follow the tenets of a god and lead others in that religion, a The skills a seeker possesses are minor compared to what

Creating a Seeker Proficiencies

When creating a seeker, consider what kind of deity you
follow and quest for. What kind of training did you go through
to become a seeker? How does your patron or god
communicate with you and how do you read their omens?
Will you aid your allies in combat with supportive magics or
empower your own abilities to take down your foes? Be sure
to work with the DM about your background.
Quick Build
You can make a Seeker quickly by following these
suggestions. First, make either Dexterity or Intelligence your
highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second,
choose the Outlander background.
Hit Points
Hit Dice: 1d8 per seeker level
Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your
Constitution modifier per seeker level after 1st
Armor: Light armor, shields
Weapons: Simple weapons, hand crossbows, longbows,
longswords, rapiers, shortswords
Tools: Thieves' tools, one type of artisan's tools of your
choice
Saving Throws: Constitution, Intelligence
Skills: Choose two from Acrobatics, Arcana, Deception,
History, Investigation, Medicine, Religion, Perception,
Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Survival
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the
equipment granted by your background:
a rapier, shortsword, or longsword
shortbow, shortsword, a dagger, or a shield
leather armor
Thieves’ or tinkerers’ tools and a dungeoneer’s pack
One fortune telling device such as tarot cards, a crystal
ball, various teas, etc.

Spellcasting
Through your studies and connection with the divine, you are
able to use magic spells. As a seeker, your magic is generally
slower than others, but creativity is your true power. See
Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the
seeker spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional seeker
cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known
column of the Seeker table.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The seeker table shows how many spell slots you have per
spell level to cast your seeker spells. To cast one of your
seeker spells of 1st level or higher at the regular casting time,
you must expend a spell slot of the spell’s level or higher. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare a list of spells at the end of each long rest from
the seeker spell list. When you do so, choose a number of
spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your seeker
level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must
be of a level for which you are able to cast. These spells count
as Seeker spells for purposes of spellcasting and rites.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish
a long rest. Preparing a new list of seeker spells requires
time spent in studying omens from the divine and
interpreting the meaning of these signs: at least 1 minute per
spell level for each spell on your list.

Marigold Tarot by Amrit Brar

Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your seeker spells,
since you learn your spells through dedicated Maven 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
seeker spell you cast and when making an attack roll with
one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Ritual spells
You can cast any seeker spell you prepare as a ritual if that
spell has the ritual tag.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a divine focus as a spellcasting focus for your
seeker spells. This divine focus can be your fortune telling
device.
Rites
For any seeker spell prepared of 5th level and below, you are
able to cast those spells as a Rite instead of using a spell slot.
The cast time for these spells follows the format of rituals
and equals the standard casting time plus 10 minutes. You
regain all expended Rites when you finish a long rest.
Spells cast using a Rite have an associated cost depending
on what spell is being cast, as seen in the table below.
Spell Level Rites Used
1st, 2nd, & 3rd 1
4th & 5th 2
Spells of 6th level and above are too powerful to be cast
using Rites.
Mavenhood
Choose one Mavenhood related to how you best will serve
your patron: Cunning Eye, Brightened Spirit, Cutting Tongue,
Lurking Hand, Roaming Steps, and Rotting Voice. Each
Maven is detailed at the end of the class description. Your
choice grants you Maven spells and features when you
choose it at 1st level and additional benefits at 3rd, 10th, and
14th level.
Maven Spells
Each Mavenhood has a list of spells, its Maven spells, that
you gain at the Seeker levels noted in the Maven description.
Once you gain a Maven spell, you always have it prepared, and
it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare
each day. If you have a Maven spell that doesn't appear on the
Seeker spell list, the spell is nonetheless a Seeker spell for
you.
Manifesting Your Powers

page for optional ideas of how your Seeker reads
fortunes, casts your spells, and traverses the world!

 Tea Leaves
At 1st level, you have studied the greater arcanum enough to
know which omens should receive attention and what can be
cast aside so you may be a better guide. You have advantage
on ability checks to read signs of good and ill omens.
The correct path is before, The Weave knows the way and
acts through you to lead others. You learn the guidance
cantrip, which doesn’t count against the number of seeker
cantrips you know. When you cast guidance, you can choose
a second target that you can see within 60 feet to also be
affected. This cantrip lasts up to a minute with concentration
or until both targets have utilized the effect of this cantrip.
Divine Inspiration
Starting at 2nd Level, your connection with the divine gives
you a brief glimpse of how to overcome the obstacles before
you. As a free action, you can add a d4 to all ability checks
and saving throws until the end of your next turn. You can use
this feature a number of times equal to half your level in this
class (rounded down) per long rest.
Additionally, you can use your bonus action to take the
Disengage, Hide, Search, or Steady Aim action.
Magical Adaptation
Starting at 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can
replace one seeker cantrip you know with another cantrip
from the seeker spell list.
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.
Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this
feature to take a feat of your choice instead.
Enhanced Attack
At 6th level, when you use a cantrip with a casting time of one
action, you can make one weapon attack as part of that
action.
Endure
Starting at 7th Level, when an attacker that you can see hits
you with an attack, you can use your reaction to expend one
Rite to halve the attack's damage against you.
Hold Fast
Beginning at 10th level, you've trained your body to go
withstand certain area effects, such as a white dragon's
freezing breath or a cloudkill spell's poison gases. When you
are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a
Constitution saving throw to take only half damage, you
instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw,
and only half damage if you fail.

Unstoppable
At 18th level, magic suffuses your every step. Your speed
cannot be decreased by difficult terrain, spells, being
underwater, or other effects and you cannot be restrained. By
spending 5 feet of movement, you can automatically escape
from being grappled.
Additionally, once per long rest, your deity is able to
unburden you, making your path easier. The first time you are
affected by a negative status effect, such as paralyze or blind,
your deity automatically dismisses that negative effect.
Divine Blessing
When you reach 20th level, you are able to forsee how best to
serve your deity by choosing a blessing. At the end of a long
rest, choose from one of the blessings below, you carry this
blessing until you finish your next long rest.
Dragon's Strength: You have advantage on three
Strength ability checks or saves of your choice, cannot be
knocked prone or disarmed, and add 2 damage to each
melee or ranged attack.
Fey's Grace: You have advantage on three Dexterity
ability checks or saves of your choice, gain 10 feet of
movement speed, and do not take fall damage when falling
from 100 feet or less as long as you aren't incapcitated.
Old One's Endurance: You have advantage on three
Constitution ability checks or saves of your choice, and
gain 30 temporary hit points.
Lich's Cunning: You have advantage on three Intelligence
ability checks or saves of your choice, and gain resistance
to psychic damage.
Angel's Wisdom: You have advantage on three Wisdom
ability checks or saves of your choice, and you have
Truesight out to 10 feet.
Devil's Charm: You have advantage on three Charisma
ability checks or saves of your choice, and can ignore the
verbal and somatic components of a spell once when
casting a spell.

Maven of the Roaming Steps
Getting there is half the battle, but a seeker who is a part of
this Maven can make the journey easier and quicker. Reading
the movement of stars, weather patterns, and swirling waters
all lend themselves as divining tools for this Mavenhood.
Roaming Steps Spells
When choosing this Mavenhood, you gain access to spells
that help you travel your path and get there safely. At 1st, 3rd,
5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the following spells.
Seeker Level Maven Spell

3rd find steed, misty step, spider climb
5th fly, thunder step, tiny hut
7th dimension door, polymorph
9th far step, teleportation circle

When you choose this Mavenhood at 1st level, you gain
proficiency in Perception and Survival. Choose one of these
two skills, you add double your proficiency bonus to checks
you make with it. 6th level, you can choose a second skill that
you are proficient with to add double your proficiency bonus
to checks you make with it.
Transporter
At 3rd level, you are able to move yourself and your allies
quickly through danger. You have advantage on ability checks
related to navigating and traveling to a distant destination.
Additionally, movement across shorter distances becomes
your forte. As a bonus action, you can teleport 10 times your
proficiency bonus feet away or teleport a creature 5 times
your proficiency bonus feet to a location you can see; if the
creature you are teleporting is unwilling, they must make a
Charisma save against your spell DC to avoid being
teleported. You can use this feature a number of times per
long rest equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Safe Haven
When you reach 10th level, you are able to find a safe haven
no matter where you go. By using a Rite and your reaction on
your turn, you can instantly return to where you started your
turn as long as you are still on the same plane of existence.
After you have returned to that starting position, your
movement drops to 0 and you have resistance to damage
until the start of your next turn.
Also at 10th level, your uses of Transporter resets after a
short or long rest.
Going The Distance
At 14th level, by expending a Rite and meditating for 10
minutes, you are able to cast either find the path, teleport, or
phase shift once. For the purposes of spellcasting, you do not
need the material components for using this feature.

 Maven of the Rotting Voice
Dark words come from dark hearts, the Mavens of the
Rotting Voice are magically enhanced orators. Whether
sweet or acidic, their spellbinding words carry so much
weight that they can even talk the dead into walking with the
living. Listening to ambient spirits, burning bones, and using
a ouija board are regular practices within this Mavenhood.
Hypnotic Whispers
At 14th level, your voice vibrates with magic. Pick one
creature that is rolling to save against a spell you cast, you
may spend a use of Divine Inspiration to roll a d4 and add
that to your spell save DC against that creature. You can
choose to use this feature only before the DM determines
whether the spell succeeds or fails.

Rotting Voice Spells

When choosing this Mavenhood, you gain access to spells
that help you control your foes and enlist new friends. At 1st,
3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the following
spells.
Seeker Level Maven Spell
1st charm person, dissonant whispers
3rd gentle repose, phantasmal force, suggestion
5th bestow curse, summon undead
7th charm monster, death ward
9th geas, raise dead

Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this Mavenhood at 1st level, you gain
proficiency in two of the following skills: Deception,
Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion. Choose one of
these two skills, you add double your proficiency bonus to
checks you make with it. 6th level, you can choose a second
skill that you are proficient with to add double your
proficiency bonus to checks you make with it.
The Right Words
At 3rd level, you are blessed with just enough foreknowledge
to understand the right thing to say and how to act in any
social setting. Once per turn you may use one of these Right
Words. When you use this feature a number of times equal to
your proficiency bonus, you may not use this feature again
until you either finish a long rest or by spending a Rite.
Thoughtful Words Instead of using your Charisma
modifier, you may use your Intelligence modifier for a
Charisma ability check or save.
Whispered Words When casting an Enchantment,
Illusion, or Necromancy spell that has a verbal component, if
you do so, the spell doesn’t require verbal, somatic, or
material components that lack a gold cost.
Piercing Words When forcing a creature to make an
Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, if they
would normally roll with advantage, instead that creature
rolls that save without advantage.
Turn of Phrase
By 10th level, you've learned to undo your gaffes and
blunders. When you cast a spell with a spell slot that fails due
to the target being immune to the effect, you may use your
reaction and a Rite to not expend that spell slot.
Additionally, once per short rest, you may use your reaction
to skillfully reshape the memories of listeners in your
immediate area, so that each creature of your choice within 5
feet of you forgets everything you said within the last 6
seconds.

Optional Rule: Multiclassing
If your group uses the optional rule on multiclassing in the
Player’s Handbook (p. 163), here’s what you need to know if
you choose seeker as one of your classes.
Ability Score Minimum: As a multiclass character, you
must have at least an Intelligence score of 13 to take a level
in this class.
Proficiencies Gained: If seeker isn’t your initial class, here
are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level
as a seeker: light armor, shields, thieves’ tools, and one
fortune telling device/set.
Extra/Enhanced Attack: The Enhanced Attack feature at
level 6 is a separate action from Extra Attack, thus cannot be
used interchangeably.
Spell Slots: Add your levels in the seeker class to the
appropriate levels from other classes to determine your
available spell slots.
Rites: Only spells that appear on the seeker spell list and
that are prepared may use Rites as a method of casting them.
Reading The Weave
Each Seeker manifests their magic in a different
way, usually specific to their specialty. > Players are
encouraged to create a manifestation that feels
right for their character.
It is common for Mavens of the Cunning Eye to
show their third eye when using Divination
magic.
A warming glow that does not cast shadows
can be seen when a Maven of the Brightened
Spirit heals those they care for.
Mavens of the Cutting Tongue might have a
glowing mouth when using a spell with just
verbal components.
Lurking Hand Seekers might have fingers that
seem to twist with extra joints when
empowering their weapons with smiting magic.
Shifting constellation tattoos have been seen
on the skin of Roaming Step Seekers when they
are journeying from one destination to another.
If you look close, the words of a Seeker of the
Rotting Voice can be seen faintly floating in the
air when they are casting Enchantment magic.
