The Shaman

1
 Shaman
W
alking in the forest at night, you may meet a
man or a woman sitting and meditating by the
largest tree in the forest. Various carved
wooden figurines, a pouch full of various
herbs and spices along with a burning incense
are scattered around the person. When you
come closer, you hear the chantings of a ritual
meant to appease the natural spirits, and as you come up
next to the person, the spirits materialize and envelop you
and the sitting person. At that moment, he or she opens their
eyes and stare right at you, making you see directly into their
eyes, which looks dead and shows signs of having seen much
more than you will ever imagine in your mortal life.
Spiritual Connection
Shamans serve as the direct connection between the mortal
world and the realms of spirits, being called by the spirits to
speak and act for them among mortals. These spirits come in
a variety of forms, ranging from nature spirits to the souls of
fallen ancestors. By bargaining and negotiating with spirits,
an occulist is granted power from the spirits, both to serve
the spirits' goals, but also in part as a reward for serving
them. The powers granted stems from the very energies
permeating throughout nature and reflects it by granting
effects resembling the elements of nature.

Soul Vessel
While gaining physical and magical prowess from the spirits,
a Shaman never has true control of their powers, merely
serving as a vessel for the spirits to channel their energies
through. To keep the spirits happy and to ensure that they
keep they powers, Shamans often make ritual sacrifices and
offer prayers and services to the spirits.
The Gift of the Spirits
As an Shaman becomes more powerful, they become more
attached to the Spirit World, and gradually, they transition
into becoming more of a living spirit themselves, being
detached from mortal problems and fueling their own
spiritual powers instead of relying on the spirits they worship
and serve. At that point, an Shaman becomes neither mortal
nor immortal, neither living nor dead, just something
inbetween.
Creating an Shaman
When making your Shaman, you should consider why your
character has such a close bond with nature and the spirits
in particular. Perhaps you are a part of a tribe that worships
your ancestors which takes their form as spirits, or maybe
you have witnessed a murder in the forest, which have
traumatized you and brought you closer to the spiritual wo.
Perhaps your character had a dramatic encounter with the
spirits of nature, falling from a tree or down a waterfall and
barely surviving, maybe in part due to spirits saving you.
Have you always been an adventurer as part of your
spiritual calling, or did you first spend time as a caretaker of
a mausoleum or graveyard? Perhaps your homeland was
befouled by evil, and you took up an adventuring life in hopes
of finding a new home or purpose.
Quick Build
You can make a Shaman quickly by following these
suggestions. First, Wisdom should be your highest ability
modifier, followed by either Strength or Dexterity. Secondly,
you should take the Outlander background.

 Spirit Magic
Your study of nature and the spirits of the world have given
you the ability to cast spells using the magic of natural spirits
in the world. See Chapter 10 in the Player's Handbook for the
general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for
the shaman spell list.
Cantrips (0-Level Spells)
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the
Shaman spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional
Shaman cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips
Known column of the Shaman table.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Shaman table shows how many spell slots you have. The
table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your
spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your shaman
spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long
rest. For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 2nd-
level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell cause fear, you
must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 2nd-level
spell.
You prepare the list of Shaman spells that are available for
you to cast, choosing from the shaman spell list. When you
do so, choose a number of shaman spells equal to your
Wisdom modifier + half your shaman level, rounded down
(minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for
which you have spell slots of the level or higher. For example,
if you are a 5th-level shaman with a Wisdom of 16, your list of
prepared shaman spells can include five spells of 1st and
2nd level, in any combination. You can also change your list of
prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new
list of shaman spells requires time spent in prayer and
meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on
your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your shaman spells,
since your magic draws upon your devotion and attunement
to the spirits. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers
to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a shaman
spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus
Focused Mind
+ your Wisdom modifier.
Spell Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus
modifier to your initiative rolls.
+ your Wisdom modifier.
Ritual Casting
You can cast a shaman spell as a ritual if that spell has the
ritual tag and you have the spell prepared. The ritual version
of a spell takes 10 minutes longer to cast than normal and
also doesn't expend a spell slot. The ritual version of a spell
can only be cast at its lowest level possible.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an druidic focus (see the Adventuring Gear
section) as a spellcasting focus for your shaman spells.

Mystical Preparation
Also starting at 1st level, you have honed your ability to call
for the power of the spirits, becoming able to save some of
the spiritual energy conjured for another time.
When you prepare your spells, you can prepare an
additional spell along with your normally prepared spells.
The additional spell prepared must have the ritual tag and
can only be cast as a ritual while prepared.
You can prepare two additional spells in this way for a total
of three spells at 7th level.
Spiritual Calling
At 2nd level you have found a part of the spiritual world that
calls for you to search for guidance. You can choose one of
several callings detailed at the end of the class description.
Your calling grants you additional features when you reach
6th level and again at 10th and 14th level.
Imbued Soul
At 2nd level, you have gained the ability to infuse your attacks
with spiritual energy, gaining the ability to make a large
amount of spiritual energy surge through your body at will.
When you use your action to take the Attack action or cast
a cantrip, you can infuse spirits into your attack. You can add
an additional 2d6 damage to the damage dealt with a weapon
attack or a cantrip as a part of that action. The damage
increases to 4d6 at 11th level.
After you use this feature, you cannot use Imbued soul
again until you have cast a spell with a shaman spell slot of
1st level or higher.
Upon gaining this ability, you must choose whether the
damage dealt by this feature is radiant or necrotic.
Occult Arts
At 3rd level, you have have proficiency in fighting alongside
your spirits, making you more powerful in ways otherwise not
possible. Choose one of the following options:
Empowered Body
While you are wearing armor, you can add your Wisdom
modifier to your AC instead of your Dexterity modifier. You
can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
When you roll for initiative, you may add your Wisdom
Free Spirit
You may use your Wisdom score instead of Strength to
determine your jump distance.
In addition, whenever you make a skill check to escape
from something binding you (such as being restrained by the
entangle spell, being grappled or being binded by manacles),
you may choose to use your Wisdom in place of Strength or
Dexterity when making the check.
Natural Barrier
Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to create a barrier of
spirits around you. As an action, you can give yourself a
number of temporary hit points equal to your Shaman level.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long
rest before you can use it again.
Occult Prowess
At 5th level, you gain one of the following features of your
choice: Extra Attack or Potent Cantrips.
Extra Attack
You can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take
the Attack action on your turn.
Potent Spells
You may add your Wisdom modifier to one damage roll of any
Shaman spell you cast.
In addition, you learn an additional cantrip of your choice
from the shaman spell list. It does not count against the
number of cantrips you know.
Distilled Nature
At 7th level, you can make the spirits cleanse your body at
will. You can as an action draw power from the spirits and
make them flush through you, ending a one disease or one
condition afflicting you. The condition can be either
frightened, charmed, blinded, deafened or poisoned.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest
before you can use it again.
Shamanic Conduit
At 11th level, your connection to your spirits is more
substantial than before and is harder to break.
When you cast a spell with a casting time longer than a
single action, you have advantage on concentration checks to
maintain casting the spell until the spell is cast.
In addition, when you finish a short rest, you may switch
one of your spells prepared through the Mystical Preparation
feature with another spell with the ritual tag.

Improved Distilled Nature
At 15th level, the spirits' capabilities to protect you have been
improved. You can now use the Distilled Feature twice
between long rests.
In addition, you can as an action expend two uses of
Distilled Nature at the same time to create a protective
barrier of spirits inside of you, protecting yourself from being
crippled. Choose one of the following sets of conditions:
poison and disease
blinded and deafened
charmed and frightened
You become immune to the chosen two conditions for the
next hour.
Ethereal Sight
Also at 15th level, your affinity with spirits increase to the
point where you are able to see any nearby spirits. You gain
the ability to see up to 30 feet into the Ethereal plane.
Fleeting Soul
At 18th level, when you die, your soul becomes more bound
to the material world, even in death. You can be revived by
revivify as long as you have been dead for no longer than 1
day. You can always be revived by reincarnate regardless of
how long you have been dead.
Master of the Occult
At 20th level, you have reached such wisdom from the spirits
of nature that you become a living spirit that can grant
yourself spiritual powers. When you roll for initiative and
have no spell slots remaining, you regain 2 spell slots.

Calling of the Totem
You have a special bond with the totem poles which you use
to contact ancient spirits, granting you the ability to summon
and manipulate totemic poles.
Summon Totem
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to conjure a totemic pole out
of thin air. As a bonus action, you summon a spirit totem at an
non-occupied square within 30 feet of you. A spirit totem
disappears if you end your turn with it being more than 30
feet away from you or when you dismiss it on your turn (no
action needed). You can have up to three spirit totems active
at any time. When you summon a spirit totem while you
already have the maximum number of totems on the field, the
oldest spirit totem is automatically dismissed.
You have a +1 bonus to your AC whenever you are within
10 feet of any of your totems.
Primal Fortitude
At 2nd level, your might and power prepares yourself for any
wounds and injuries you might get inflicted with while
adventuring. Your hit point maximum increases by 2, and it
increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.
In addition, whenever you take damage, you gain a fortitude
charge, up to a maximum of three. When you deal damage
with a weapon or a cantrip, you consume all fortitude charges
to deal an additional 1d4 damage for each charge consumed.
If the target is within 10 feet of any of your totems, you
instead deal 1d6 damage for each charge consumed.
Protective Surge
At 6th level, the spirit totems can protect you in a pinch,
weakening the force of blows on you. As a reaction to taking
damage, you can destroy a totem within 10 feet of you to gain
resistance to the triggering damage type against that attack.
After using this feature, the number of totems you can
have active at any one time is then reduced by one until you
finish a short or long rest. You cannot use this feature when
the number of totems you can have active at any one time is
equal to one.
Improved Totem
At 10th level, the spirits residing in your totem becomes more
powerful. Whenever you are within 10 feet of any of your
totems, you gain a bonus of +1 to your weapon attack rolls
and saving throws.
Animal Guardians
At 14th level, the spirits residing inside the totemic pole is
able to lash out from the totem. While you are within 10 feet
of a totem, you may make the area within 10 feet of that totem
lightly obscured for creatures other than you as spirits are
released from the totem and surround the nearby area.
When the creature enters the area around a totem that has
its spirits released for the first time on a turn or starts its
turn there, the spirits lash out at the creature. The creature
must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the
creature takes 2d8 damage and having its speed halved,
taking half as much damage and not having its speed halved
on a successful save. The damage dealt is of the same type
as the one chosen for the Infused Soul feature.

You have the ability to contact ghosts of deceased creatures
and let them possess you or an object of yours, lending you
their spiritual powers in battle. By contacting the ghosts
around you, you gain the ability to temporarily become a
ghost yourself, becoming intangible and separated from the
physical realm for a short moment.
Ancestral Guidance
At 2nd level, an ancestral spirit possesses up to two weapons
of yours, engulfing it in ectoplasm and ghastly energies to
improve your abilities in battle.

weapons that you are proficient with. They become your
ancestral weapons. You can use your ancestral weapons as
spellcasting foci and while holding your ancestral weapons,
your speed increases by 10 feet, increasing to 20 feet at 10th
level. This lasts until you choose to change your ancestral
weapons during a long rest.

Ancient Possession
Also at 2nd level, the ancestor can lend you its spectral
powers by possessing you temporarily. As a bonus action,
you can become spectral temporarily. For the next minute,
you can move through other creatures and objects as if they
were difficult terrain. You take 2d6 force damage if your turn
is ended while you’re still inside an object. If you are inside
an object when you stop being spectral, your body is expelled
to the nearest unoccupied space that you can occupy and
take force damage equal to twice the number of feet you
moved.
After using this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Phantom Massacre
At 6th level, your ancestral spirits increase in power, gaining
the ability to mark creatures you hit. Once per turn, you can
deal an extra 1d6 psychic damage to one creature you hit
with a weapon or a cantrip and mark the creature for the next
minute. If the creature is already marked, you instead deal
2d6 psychic damage, increasing to 3d6 at 14th level. When
you mark a creature, any marks on other creatures
disappear.
Poltergeist
At 10th level, you become closer with your ancestral spirits,
increasing the power of the marks. When you consume a
mark to deal damage to a creature, you may choose to
become spectral and jump into the creature if you are within
30 feet of it. You disappear from the field as you enter the
creature's body as a ghost. At the start of your next turn or
when the creature dies, you reappear at an unoccupied
space within 10 feet of the creature.
After using this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.
In addition, you can cast the spell speak with dead at will
without expending a spell slot.
Secret of the Ancients
Beginning at 14th level, you are completely confident in your
ability to become spectral. While your Ancient Possession
feature is active, if you haven't moved this turn, and you end
your turn inside an object, the turn will not count against the
time left as spectral. You can extend the duration in this
matter up to a maximum of 1 hour.
In addition, you now do not take force damage from ending
your turn while you’re still inside an object if you haven't
moved this turn.
Calling of the Rhythm
You attune to the sound of nature by the beat of your trusty
spirit drum. By playing on the drum, you can send out
spiritual energy in the form of song to you and all allies that
can hear you.
Natural Rhythm
At 2nd level, you can feel the rhythm of your surroundings
from your head to your toes. You gain proficiency with
warhammers and longswords. You also gain proficiency with
a drum. For you, a drum also counts as a shield and a
spellcasting focus. Whenever you wield a shield in one hand
and a weapon in the other, the shield can also be used as a
drum.
Song of the Forest
At 2nd level, you can use your drum to beat the rhythm of
your surroundings to empower your allies. As an action while
holding a drum, you may begin to make the spirits play a song
on your drum, granting a beneficial effect to yourself and all
allies within 30 feet of you. You and your allies must be able
to hear your drum to gain its benefits. You may choose one of
the following songs to play:
Aria of the Lake: You can add an additional bonus of +1
to any saving throws you or an ally must roll.
Storm Chant: Whenever you or an ally attacks with a
wielded weapon, the weapon’s damage type is thunder
instead of the weapon’s normal damage type.
Hymn of the Wind: You and your allies’ movement speed
gain a bonus of +10 feet. The ally’s bonus is maintained to
end of their turn even if they move out of the song’s radius
during their turn.
Earthen Anthem: When you or an ally roll a 1 on a
damage die for a weapon attack, one can reroll the die and
must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1.
The song ends if you are no longer carrying or wielding the
drum. You may end your song at any time as a bonus action.
While playing a song, your drum is considered occupied, and
you cannot attack an enemy with the drum.

Spiritual Beat
At 6th level, you can invigorate your song, granting additional
bonuses to your allies. If you are currently playing a song, you
may boost the sound of your song as an action for a minute,
granting an additional beneficial effect to yourself and all
allies within 30 feet of you depending on the song currently
playing:
Aria of the Lake: When you or an ally must make a
Wisdom or Constitution saving throw, you and your allies
gain advantage on the saving throw instead of adding a
flat +1 bonus.
Storm Chant: Whenever you or an ally is hit by a melee
attack, the attacker takes 1d6 lightning damage.

not provoke opportunity attacks while in range. You and

maximum number on any of their damage dice when
making a weapon attack, you may roll an additional die and
add it to the damage dealt. You can only add a single
damage die to a damage roll in this manner.

finish a short or long rest.
Worldly Heart

You have gained the wisdom to communicate with the spirits
of nature through speaking the language of the natural
elements. By way of elaborate and complicated rituals, you
align yourself with the elements and invoke them in battle.

Earth: You grant a creature within 30 feet of you
temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom
modifier until the start of your next turn, as a barrier of

points increases by 1d8 at 6th level (2d8), 10th level (3d8)
and 14th level (4d8).

uses when you finish a long rest.

Sage of Nature
At 6th level, you gain control on the aspects of nature and can
manipulate them as you cast spells. When you finish a long
rest, choose a damage type from the following list: acid, cold,
fire, lightning, or thunder. Until the end of your next long rest,
when you cast a spell that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, or
thunder damage, you can choose to substitute that damage
type with the chosen damage type.
In addition, you can now speak, read, and write Primordial.
Aspect Burst
At 10th level, you become more controlled at bending the
elements, gaining the ability to invoke all four elements at
once. When you consume a use of the elemental bending
feature to invoke an element, you can choose to invoke all four
elements at once. Each element can be targeted at the same
target or at different targets.
After using this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Elemental Alignment
Upon gaining 14th level, choose one of the following elements
to focus on: Fire, Water, Air or Earth. During a long rest, you
can then create a sigil of that element using 1 hour of your
time, which can be part of the long rest. You can as an action
activate the sigil and cast a spell according to the aligned
element without expending a spell slot and without requiring
concentration:
Earth: You cast investiture of stone.
Water: You cast investiture of ice.
Fire: You cast investiture of flame.
Air: You cast investiture of wind.
When the spell ends, you gain a level of exhaustion.
To change your aligned element to one of the other three,
you can spend a week and 100 gp worth of materials making
rituals to realign yourself to the element of choice.

 Calling of the Stars
A gift from the stars above, you gain power from the night
sky. Spirits in the stars grants you the ability to summon a
constellation in your image that you can manipulate to your
liking.
Star Constellation
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to use the magic of the night
sky to conjure a spectral presence resembling a constellation.
As a bonus action, you can create a spectral presence
resembling a humanoid constellation, hovering in an
unoccupied space of your choice within 30 feet of you. This
presence is the same size class as you, it is intangible and
invulnerable, and it sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius.
While the spectral prescence is within 90 feet of you, you
can cause the spectral presence to hover up to 30 feet to an
unoccupied space that you can see within 90 feet of you. It
can pass through creatures but not objects.
As an action, you can intensify the brightness of the
constellation's light, making it shed bright light in a 20-foot
radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. On your
subsequent turns, you can dim the light back to normal (no
action required). You cannot both dim and intensify the light
in the same turn. The light automatically dims if the spectral
prescence is more than 90 feet away from you.
When you cast a spell on your turn, you can cast it as if
you were in the spectral mind’s space instead of your own if
the spectral prescence is within 90 feet of you.
Spatial Diary
Beginning from 2nd level, you gain additional tome spells at
the Shaman levels noted in the table below. Once you gain a
tome 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 domain spell that doesn't appear on the Shaman spell
list, the spell is nonetheless a Shaman spell for you.

Firmament
Starting at 6th level, you can manipulate light around you.
When you end your turn while in bright light, you become
enrobed in a firmament of stars that distract enemies. Until
you take damage, any attack roll made against you has
disadvantage unless the creature can sense your prescence
by tremorsense, blindsight or truesight.
In addition, you gain advantage on Wisdom (Survival)
checks when you can see the night sky above you.
Stella Nova
Beginning at 10th level, when you use your action to intensify
the light of the constellation, you can cause the constellation
to momentarily erupt with light. Creatures within 20 feet of
the constellation must make a Constitution saving throw
against your spell DC. On a failed save, a creature is knocked
prone and blinded until the end of your next turn.
After using this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Living Constellation
Beginning at 14th level, your mastery of stellar powers
become unparalleled. You can as an action change the shape
of your constellation, making it resemble and function as a
humanoid creature of your choice with a CR equal to or lower
than 4. As it is only a constellation, other creatures cannot be
fooled into thinking that the constellation is the creature it
resembles. While transformed, it takes its turn immediately
after yours, and you cannot cast a spell through the
constellation while it is transformed. Otherwise, it functions
as normal.
The transformation lasts for 1 minute or until your
concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell).
After using this feature, you can't do so again until you
finish a long rest or until you expend a shaman spell slot.

Design Notes
Class overall
The class was made to fill out the flavor space of a shaman or
a person who dabbles with spirits. Right now the Druid and
the Warlock is close, but i feel their flavor doesn't completely
fit what I want in a shaman. Mechanically, the Shaman is to a
Warlock what a Paladin is to a Cleric, even if the flavor and
primary ability of the Shaman fits closer to a Druid. It fits a
more spellcasting-heavy half-caster (like Artificer), at least
compared to Rangers and Paladins, which is more like spell-
supported martial classes, where focus is on Hunter's Mark
and Divine Smite, respectively.
The playstyle of the Shaman has two facets: The martial
half-caster with Extra Attack should remind you of the
Shaman of WoW, specifically Enhancement Shamans, in
terms of flavor, fulfilling a gish fantasy. Meanwhile, the half-
caster with Potent Cantrips should be reminiscent of a
tankier Warlock or Artificer, fulfilling more of a caster-style
fantasy.
Features
Since a shaman is normally associated with rituals, a lot of
features are related to ritual spells and ritual casting. The
Shaman spell list is filled with ritual spells, and the
Mystical Preparation and Heart Conduit features are built
specifically for use of ritual casting. Even the additional
spell lists of some subclasses contains at least one ritual
spell in the list (and often more than one).
Spirit Magic is half-caster version of Pact Magic. Also
includes prepared casting (like Paladins) along with ritual
casting and cantrips (like Artificer). Grants a lot of
flexibility compared to equivalent half-caster spellcasting.
Imbued Weapon is built to function as a mixture of
Paladin's Divine Smite and the Ranger's hunter's mark
spell. Since the amount of spell slots is limited due to the
nature of the Spirit Magic (Pact Magic analogue) feature,
the use of Imbued weapon is free, but refreshed by usage
of spell slots. In that way, you trade free damage for the
damage being less of a nova compared to Divine Smite (as
the damage is not automatic) and Hunter's mark (as the
effect isn't continuous). The playstyle with Imbued Soul
will be a lot different than the aforementioned features, as
you have to interchange between weapon attacks and
spells to optimize damage uptime. Scales at 3rd (2 spell
slots per short rest), 5th (If you take Extra Attack), and
11th level (Increase in dice).
Occult Arts reduces the gish-ness of the class slightly by
making you improve either AC, initiative or specific skill
checks by making them use Wisdom instead of or in
addition to their regular ability.
Natural Barrier grants some survivability in the form of
1/short rest temp hp. Weaker than the Fighter
counterpart in Second Wind (lower healing/temp hp, uses
action instead of bonus action), but can be used before
you are hurt, as it is temp hp instead of healing.

At 5th level, you choose between being weapon-oriented
with Extra Attack and being cantrip-oriented with Potent
Cantrips.
Distilled Nature is a selfish variant of Lesser Restoration.
It trades the ability to remove conditions from allies and
removing the paralyzed condition for gaining the ability to
remove the charmed and frightened conditions. While a
bit costly in battle, it is very useful when inflicted with
conditions and/or disease that lasts beyond a single
combat. At 15th level, can consume two uses to grant
condition immunity for an hour. This option is best used
proactively.
Occult Sight is a simple ribbon, unlikely to be useful other
than in niche situations.
Subclass features fills 4 different levels (2nd, 6th, 10th,
14th). Choice of subclass changes the playstyle and
gameplay of the Shaman a lot - the base class is made to
be more of a simple chassis for the subclasses, both in
flavor and mechanics.
Possible Builds
The shaman class is built with these possible
weapon/cantrip builds in mind:
Strength-based melee warrior
Takes Spirit Bulwark at level 3 (unless good AC can be
gotten elsewhere)
