A princess in a sumptuous gown lightly descends a grand

staircase. A hush falls over the crowd and all eyes turn to
take in her beauty. Struck breathless, no-one in the room
can look away, not even to notice her companions filtering
silently through the crowd.
In the blink of an eye one halfling becomes four. Dancing
and tumbling between an ogre’s legs, they twist and turn
the brute into a dazed heap of confoundment.
On a high clifftop, four cold and shivering travelers wait in
front of a misty purple circle glowing out from the rocks.
Finally, the light of the portal snaps to a gentle soft white

onwards to higher peaks.
A Mesmer is a master of manipulation, twisting the
senses and the mind. To unravel a Mesmer’s delusions is to
shatter the mind, and embracing their reality is a trap that
might never be escaped. A Cleric might say that belief is a
powerful force, strong enough to topple empires and raise
gods. The Mesmer’s motto answers: “Seeing is believing.”

 
Mesmers are focused first and foremost on thoughts,
feelings, the activity of the mind. From the conscious and
coherent ideas of the sentient races to the wild untamed
impulses of flora and fauna, everything must think to be.
Using this type of magic effectively is a difficult task. A
Mesmer must be able to deduce any given thought or
feeling, predict the stimuli to twist that thought in just the
right way, and recall the arcane magic needed to apply that
twist precisely and powerfully.
The pursuit of these studies can take a lifetime, but the
results reach far beyond mundane conceptions of thought
or sentience. A true master might be able to read the iron
mind of a clockwork watch and fool time itself, or peer at
the deep cosmic dreams of the world and heavens.   

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the

• (a) a rapier or (b) a whip, or (c) any simple weapon of
your choice
• (a) a Diplomat’s pack or (b) an Entertainer’s pack
• (a) a component pouch or (b) an arcane focus
• leather armor, a net, and 5 throwing darts
 
At 1st level, your magic can generate confounding images of
yourself. When you cast a spell using a spell slot, you may
create an illusion of yourself in any space you can see
within 15 feet of you or a target of that spell. It is an
insubstantial image of yourself along with anything you are
wearing or holding. It rotates to face the same direction you
do, and always mimics all of your motions. It’s an intangible
image, so if its position or motion would cause it to collide
with terrain or objects, it intersects through them instead.
As a bonus action you can command one of your clones to
move up to 60 feet in the manner of your choice to another
location you can see. For example, you can have a clone
cartwheel over the ground or swim through the air.
You may have no more than 3 clones at a time. You can
freely dismiss any of your clones at any time. A clone fades
away on its own after one minute.

3
 When you create a clone you may choose to concentrate
on maintaining it for up to one hour, and if you do it doesn’t
fade away until you end your concentration.
Your clones are precise visual duplicates of yourself, but
that does not mean they are always perfectly convincing. If
a creature witnesses a clone being created or observes a
clone doing something obviously illusory, it automatically
recognizes the clone as an illusion. Creatures may lose
track of which clones are false under sufficiently confusing
circumstances, such as heavy obscuration, invisibility, or
after being knocked unconscious. Your clones mimic your
visual appearance, meaning they are invisible when you are.
Tip: How Deceptive are Clones?
Any “obviously illusory” action will cause creatures to recognize
a clone as an illusion. What constitutes “obviously” is highly
dependent on the observer’s intelligence and wisdom and
should be adjudicated on a contextual basis.
Giveaways might include a clone appearing to talk without
making a sound, swinging a sword at nothing at all, intersecting
with a solid object, or standing in midair. If a clone is attacked
or subjected to a spell, the attack or spell simply passes through
it with no effect and any creatures witnessing that occurrence
recognize the clone as an illusion. A creature that suspects a
clone of being an illusion can make an Investigation check
against the caster’s spell save DC to successfully recognize the
target as a clone, or it may do something else that will otherwise
test the clone. A cyclops would likely try to toss a rock at the
clone, whereas a well-traveled diplomat might merely wave a
hand through it to confirm her suspicions.
Unless Mesmers are a rarity in your world, you should assume
that intelligent creatures will be somewhat aware of a Mesmer’s
tricks from past experiences, stories, or legends. Clones are a
Mesmer’s basic tools, and do not constitute effective illusions
without some further support or application of creativity.

A Mesmer is capable of wielding magic at 1st level to
confuse the mind and twist the senses. See chapter 10 in
the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and page 6 of
this resource for the Mesmer spell list.

At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from
the Mesmer spell list. You learn additional Mesmer cantrips
of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips

 
The Mesmer table shows how many spell slots you have to
cast your Mesmer spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one
of these Mesmer spells, you must expend a slot of the
spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots
when you finish a long rest.

You know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the
Mesmer spell list. The Spells Known column of the
Mesmer table shows when you learn more Mesmer spells
of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for
which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach
3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or
2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class,
you can choose one of the Mesmer spells you know and
replace it with another spell from the Mesmer spell list,
which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
 
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Mesmer
spells, since the power of your magic depends on your
study of the mind and your knowledge of emotions and
thoughts. 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 Mesmer 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

When something once thought true is revealed to be an
illusion, reality breaks and reforms in a moment of power.
Beginning at 2nd level you may take an action to disrupt
reality, dispelling all your clones simultaneously. Each one
fractures into glimmering shards, suspended for an instant
throughout a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on that clone’s
last location. Creatures you choose within those areas must
make an Intelligence saving throw against your spell save
DC, as the shards splinter and fade. Each time you wish to
Shatter Illusions, first choose one of the following effects:
Shatter Mind: You tear minds to shreds. Deal 1d8 psychic
damage to creatures that fail the saving throw, or half as
much damage to creatures that succeed. Creatures may be
dealt multiple instances of this damage by the same saving
throw if they are within overlapping areas of multiple
clones you shattered. This effect’s damage per clone
increases by 1d8 at certain Mesmer levels: 5th level (2d8),
11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
Shatter Will: You convince creatures that their efforts are
futile. Creatures that fail the saving throw have disadvantage
on ability checks until the end of your next turn. You may
also choose to Shatter Illusions using this effect as a
reaction, only when a creature that would be in the area
misses an attack. If you shatter this way and the attacking
creature is affected, that creature also has disadvantage on
attacks and saving throws for the same duration.
Shatter Clarity: You reveal something awful and incredible
beneath the illusion. Creatures that fail the saving throw
are charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for up to a
minute. While charmed or frightened by this effect a
creature believes all your clones to be real, dismissing and
instantly forgetting any evidence to the contrary. A creature
charmed or frightened by this effect can make a Wisdom
saving throw against your spell save DC at the end of each
of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
 
Also at 2nd level, you begin to learn about a particularly
elaborate and pervasive element of the illusory world
around you. Your choices are described in the following
section of this document.
Your knowledge of this grand deception grants you
features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
 
At 3rd level you learn to rearrange your own mind as easily
as another’s. As an action, you may begin concentrating on
this feature for up to 1 minute. This is a simple task for you,
and not outwardly apparent. If you complete the duration
uninterrupted you may then forget one Mesmer spell you
know and replace it with a different Mesmer spell of the
same level. You can attempt to use this feature a number of
times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of
once) and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.
  
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.
 
Upon reaching 18th level, the line
between reality and illusion
becomes blurred around your
body. You count as an additional
clone for the purpose of Shatter
Illusions and you may use Shatter
Illusions when you have no clones.
  
At 20th level your study of Mesmer magic has led you to a
complete understanding of all that is real and unreal.
Magic suffuses your illusions, and nothing is as it
seems. When you cast a spell using a spell slot,
you can expend your bonus action and a spell
slot of the same level to have one of your clones
cast the same spell simultaneously. The clone
ignores the spell’s usual casting time and
components, and you may have it choose a
different target if able. If the spell requires
concentration, your own concentration
applies to both copies.
 
Mesmers learn that all reality is illusory,
but some elements of this beautiful lie
bend more freely than others. A Mesmer
may learn how to work especially
powerful and unique magic by
manipulating these particularly frangible
elements of the world. Often the grand
deception that calls to a Mesmer reflects their own patterns
of thought, the unique flavor of their mind and personality.
  
A Mesmer that learns to distort the sense of self is uniquely
skilled in wielding their clones and generating illusory
appearances. Scholars of this deception risk losing their
personal identity entirely, but many great Mesmers claim
that is an outcome to be desired, representing a step
towards true enlightenment and great power.
 
When you begin to study the grand deception of Self at 2nd
level, your clones take on a little more of your essence.
They mimic your speech and other noises you make.
 
Also at 2nd level, your choice of deception grants you a
fourth option for Shatter Illusions:
Shatter Self: You remove yourself from sight. Creatures
that fail the saving throw can’t see you or your clones until
the end of your next turn, as if you were invisible.

Starting at 6th level your sense of self is shared between
you and your clones. As an action, you can choose one of
your clones to see through its eyes and hear through its
ears until the end of your next turn. During this time, you
are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.
   
By 10th level, it becomes meaningless to ask which of your
clones is the true self. You may take an action and expend a

There is no detectable sign of this at the instant it occurs.

they and theirs live in the best possible timeline.

When you choose the grand deception of Time at 2nd level,
you gain proficiency with Shields, and you may use a shield
as a spellcasting focus for your Mesmer spells. When you
wield a shield, its face shows a magical clock of any nature
you choose. You determine which perspective of time it
tells, whether that’s the city clocktower’s, your own, or
something entirely different.

 
Also at 2nd level, your choice of deception grants you a
fourth option for Shatter Illusions:
Shatter Time: You reveal that time isn’t when everyone
thought it was. You don’t force creatures to make saving
throws when you shatter using this effect. You may shatter
using this effect only as a reaction, which you take when a
creature that would be within the area fails a saving throw.
Wind back time and allow that creature to make a new roll,
replacing the old result with the new result. The new roll
gains a bonus equal to the number of clones you shattered.

At 6th level your knowledge of time enables you to shift
yourself out of it, displacing your body in time and avoiding
attacks aimed at you in the present. Immediately after you
use Shatter Illusions you gain a bonus to AC and future
Initiative checks equal to the number of clones that you
shattered. This bonus is removed each time you use
Shatter Illusions, right before the new bonus is applied.
This bonus lasts until removed, you choose to freely
relinquish it, or until you finish a long rest.

Beginning at 10th level, you can bring creatures back to
healthier, happier times. Whenever you use Shatter

may benefit from multiple instances of this healing if it is
within overlapping areas of multiple clones you shattered.

4th level Illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: S M (a scrap of silk gauze)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You create a veil of illusion on a solid surface in range. The
veil is an invisible, intangible sheet extending perpendicular
from the surface. You can make the veil up to 60 feet long
and 30 feet high, and its base can be curved into any
continuous configuration you choose including a closed
circle. As you create the veil choose one side to be the front
side. When creatures look through the veil from the front,
they can’t see creatures on the other side of it, as if those
creatures were invisible. Looking through the veil from the
back has no effect. Creatures with blindsight are unaffected
by this spell. Creatures that can see invisibility are
unaffected and see the veil itself as a translucent grey film.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 5th level or higher, the maximum length, height, and
range of the wall all increase by 30 feet for each slot level
above 4th.

6th level Abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 150 feet (30-foot radius)
Components: V S M (a hollow glass sphere)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You establish a protective globe of inversive magic. Target a
point within range and wrap your magic around a 30-foot
radius sphere centered on it. While you concentrate a
continuous sheet of wavering light covers the outside
surface of that sphere. The magic of this spell is clearly
visible, but sufficiently transparent to avoid impairing
vision. Magical and physical projectiles which intersect the
surface of this spell are reflected back to their origins.
Attacks and projectile-based spells have their targets
altered but are otherwise unchanged. For example, an
archer firing into the area would roll to hit against its own
AC and roll damage against itself, and a Fireball cast
outward through the sphere would streak back and explode
at the tip of its caster’s finger. The magic of this spell is
otherwise intangible and does not interfere with movement.

carefully, in consultation with your DM, to best suit the
nature of your table and game.

In a game using the multiclassing rules (PHB pg. 163),
these additional rules apply to the Mesmer:
Multiclassing Prerequisites: To qualify for a level in this
class, you must have an Intelligence score of 13 or higher.
Multiclassing Proficiencies: When you gain your first level
in this class, if it wasn’t your initial class, you don’t gain any
of its starting proficiencies.
  
This option is best used by tables playing large combat
encounters at high levels. High power level. Use with care:
The maximum number of illusory clones you can have at a
time is equal to the value of your proficiency bonus.
 
On the other hand, if your table wants to keep things
simple, you may wish to use this option:
You can only have one illusory clone active at any given
time. For any effect which depends on the number of clones
you shattered, this clone counts as two clones.
 
If your game involves large amounts of combat against
creatures with extremely low intelligence or wisdom, this
option may be useful. It limits the combat effectiveness of
clones against creatures unable to differentiate them:
Illusory clones have 0 AC and 1 HP. An illusory clone is
dispelled and fades away when reduced to 0 HP.
 
This option emphasizes the social utility role of a Mesmer:
When choosing the skill proficiencies granted by this class,
you may only choose 1 instead of 2. When you successfully
use False Memories, you may choose not to replace a spell
you know and instead replace one of your skill or tool
proficiencies with a different proficiency of the same type.
