The Chanceomancer

T
he indigo dodecahedron, his aetheric third eye,
flares upon his brow. Twitching, searching, it
scans the probability fields and finds an
opening. The chanceomancer pricks a pinhole
in the spacetimemindsoul that is the astral
ocean within, and dives, beyond even deepest
self. Hovering at the edge of Ain Soph at the
core of reality, he watches the probability vortices churn.
Holding Plato's Fist high, he draws delta quanta --
imagination and manifestation, both and neither -- across the
Moebius Bridge into the Pentegrammaton.
Even the most fearsome magic-user gives wide berth to a
mortal in astral form who has mastered the five shapes of all
things. For the dice, in combination with the unique signature
of mortal soulfire can unravel and re-weave the very fabric of
space, time, mind, and soul.
Probability Manipulation
Throughout the multiverse, chanceomancers, or dicewilders,
come about on worlds where cultural factors have aligned to
create a very specific set of conditions.
Through meditation, a potential chanceomancer becomes
aware of the ultimate oneness of all things and transcends
the delusion of self and multiplicity. In so doing, they acquire
the capacity to turn inward, defy the trappings of the
artificially delineated ego, and tread the realms within.
Eventually, after encountering the Five Forms they delve so
deep they reach the probability vortices at the heart of reality.
The would-be dicewielder has an active and vivid
imagination combined with a disdain for conformity and the
mundane toil of work-a-day life. They have developed a
prodigious capacity for visualization and perceiving the
realities of the inner (esoteric) planes with the third eye.
Finally, in some way or another, all dicewielders have been
exposed to the concept of the five fundamental forms of
existence. Be it through mathematics, philosophy, gambling,
or other games of chance, the fledgling dicewielder succumbs
to the intrigue of the Pentagrammaton, and so beguiled, takes
up the path to power over probability.

typically imperceptible dodecahedron shaped toroid field of You burn aether to alter the vibrational waveform of delta

Points you can +/- any dice roll in the game.
Sacred Geometry - Prima Forma
Each of the only perfect polyedra in nature -- the five forms of
the Pentagrammaton -- corresponds with one of the cosmic
constituents of spacetimemindsoul. As a dicewielder grows in
power, they develop an inclination toward one of the five. This
affinity for one of the forms results in your mastery over a
Prima Forma and its associated element: tetrahedron (fire),
hexahedron (earth), octohedron (air), dodecahedron (void), or
icosahedron (water). You roll on the following table to
randomly determine your Prima Forma.

2 CHANCEOMANCER CLASS
Brainmail
At first level, upon discovering your Prima Forma, you can
gather your aetheric field tight against your body and will it
into a armour comprised of the element over which you have
mastery: fire, earth, air, void, or water. Because this Brainmail
as it has come to be known, emanates from your mortal
physiology, wearing any form of physical armor prevents it
from working. It provides a bonus to base Armor Class equal
to your three hifghest asbility bonuses combined.
If your Aether Point total is reduced to half of maximum,
you must make a concentration check at the beginning of
every turn or your Brainmail collapses completely. It takes an
action next round to will it to function again.
Prima Forma Weapon
At second level, you can generate a weapon from your
Brainmail. You are proficient in that weapon and you can
wield it telekinetically up to 15’ away as though using it
directly. Aetheric melee, range and thrown weapons are
completely under your telekinetic control and can be wielded
and operated up to 15’ away as though you are holding,
shooting or throwing them remotely. While they do normal
damage for the weapon type, they are, they are weightless,
negate any size restrictions, are considered magical weapons
for attack purposes, and do piercing, slicing, bludgeoning
damage simultaneously. The weapons are considered
elemental weapons. They magically appear and disappear
instantly as needed.
Elemental Affinity
At 3rd Level, your constant proximity to the maximum point
of tension between Consciousness and Void threatens to
obliterate the splinter of identity that distinguishes you as a
functioning sentient being. To avoid loosing themselves,
Dicewielders traditionally undertake to anchor to reality by
affiliating with other chanceomancers who have mastered
the same Prima Forma.
The collective symbiosis your Prima Forma affiliates have
achieved with their fundamental form empowers you to
harness and direct its elemental forces.
You can cast elemental spells from any spell list so long as
the spell level is one level below your dicewielder level. You
expend one Aether Point per spell level of the spell being
cast. Rather than elemental spells, Chanceomancers affiated
with aether can perform all summoning and detection spells
that are not elemental in nature.
Fire: Tetrahedites have fire resistance and can cast any fire
spell from any class.
Earth Cubites cannot incur fall damage and can cast any
magnetism or metal-related spells.
Air: Octahedites can breathe in any environment and can
cast any air or wind spell.
Aether Voidites are telepathic and can cast any detection
or summoning spells.
Water Icosahedites can breathe underwater and withstand
the pressures of the depths. They can cast any water-related
spells.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 5th level, and again at 7th, 13th, and 16th,
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 cannot increase any ability scores above 20 using this
feature.
Realmfaring
The Proximal Planes, namely the Astral Plane and the
Dream Realm, were your training grounds as a fledgling
dicewielder. On these inner planes, where a traveller cannot
come to harm, you experimented with using intricate
aether/delta quanta formulations to open inter-planar rifts.
At 5th level, by expending 5 Aether Points and making a
DC 5 Constitution check you can move between planes of
existence. A fail means you must roll on a madness table.
After you have been to a plane one time you can travel there
again for 2 aether points, no check required.
Good Company
At 7th level, you can manipulate probability for others just as
you do for yourself. By adding one Aether Point to the total
aether spent (2 AP per +1/-1), you can manipulate probability
for any character within your sensory range.
Deja Vu-Do
Your familiarity with the sub-quantum probability fields
allows you to induce a stutter in the arrow of
spacetimemindsoul. At 10th level, by expending 10 aether
points, you can undo any roll and force a re-roll for any PC or
NPC character within your sensory range. When the moment
repeats itself, you can assign +5/-5 to the reroll. If the re-roll is
a 1, you must make a DC 8 Wisdom save or roll on madness
tables.
Entropic Mirror
By 15th level, you have garnered significant experience
avoiding and controlling entropy and can unleash it on a foe.
For 2 Aether Points you can issue a volatile quagmire of
anarchy that causes every opponent’s magical bonuses
(magic items included) to become equivalant maluses. Foes
are permitted a Wisdom save DC 12. On a successful save
the reversal of fortunes lasts 3 days. If they fail, it is
permanent.
Random Encounter
Your forays to the edge of the probability vortices have
widened what was once a mere pinhole between your reality
and an imaginal realm that is a product of dicewielders
playing a game in another dimension. At 17th level, using the
power of your polyhedra, and a scroll, which is page 178 of a
grimoire from said dimension, you can summon a total
amount of creature Hit Dice equal to your dicewielder level
(rounded up). No spell slots or AP required.
CHANCEOMANCER CLASS 3
 Oblivion Critical
The Chanceomancer At 20th level you can connect with the mind of a
Proficiency Aether Point
chanceomancer in a parallel reality. When you call upon this
Level Bonus Features Recovery entity, the alien dicewielder’s voice is heard in the heads of
your opponents and it decrees, "If I roll an Oblivion Critical,
