Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the
rune scribe spell list. You learn more rune scribe cantrips at
higher levels, as shown in the Rune Scribe table.
Preparing And Casting Spells
The Rune Scribe table shows how many spell slots you have
of 1st level and higher. Casting spells expends a slot of the
spell’s level or higher. You regain all spell slots when you take
a long rest.
At 1st level, you know one 1st-level spell of your choice
from the rune scribe spell list. You prepare the list of rune
scribe spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from
the rune scribe spell list. When you do so, choose a number
of rune scribe spells equal to your spellcasting modifier +
your proficiency modifier (minimum of one spell). The spells
must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish
a long rest. Preparing a new list of rune scribe spells requires
time spent in prayer and revision: at least 1 minute per spell
level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
At 1st level, choose your spellcasting ability for your rune
scribe spells (Intelligence or Wisdom). You cannot change
this choice later. The spellcasting ability you choose must
have an ability score of at least 13.
Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
spellcasting modifier Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency
bonus + your spellcasting modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast rune scribe spells as a ritual if that spell has the
ritual tag and you have it prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a Master Rune or arcane focus as a spellcasting
focus for casting your rune scribe spells.
Rune Lore
At 1st level, you learn the basics of scribing runes, and are
able to use a master rune’s Runic Resistance and Runic
Ability (Basic). The Rune Magic section contains information
on master runes and descriptions of runes and their
properties.
You learn 2 basic ways to channel a rune's power: Runic
Bolt and Runic Aura. These effects count as spells.
Runic Bolt:
As an action, you choose a rune, and expend a spell slot to
use a Runic Bolt. The Runic Bolt section of a rune's
description has the details of the rune's Runic Bolt.
Runic Bolt Save DC = your Spell Save DC
Runic Bolt Damage = 2d8 + 1d8 per level of slot expended
Runic Aura:
As a bonus action, you choose a rune, and expend a spell slot
to put up a Runic Aura. A Runic Aura has a radius of 20
feet and while it exists, the aura moves with you, centered
on you.
A Runic Aura stays active for a number of turns equal to 1 +
level of slot expended before disappearing. You and any
friendly creatures you can see that are within the area of
the Runic Aura gain the Aura Effect and Runic Resistance
of the selected rune, specified in a rune's description.
You can only have one Runic Aura up at a time. Putting up a
second aura causes the existing aura to immediately
disappear.
Also at 1st level, you start with three simple Master Runes
of your choice from the Rune Magic section.
Scribe Archetype
At 2nd level, you choose an archetype that you specialise in
the exercise of your rune scribe abilities:
Runic Boltcaster
Runic Auracaster
Runic Analyst
Your choice grants you a way to manifest a rune's power
when you choose it at 2nd level. It also grants you additional
benefits at 7th, 13th, and 18th levels.

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.
Advanced Runes
At 6th level, your exposure to and usage of runes has allowed
you to access more advanced runic abilities. You are able to
use a rune's Runic Ability (Advanced) if you are attuned to it.
Runic Spells
At 11th level, you gain access to Runic Spells. When you are
attuned to a rune, you add its Runic Spells to your Runic
Spell List. You always have the spells prepared until you lose
attunement with the rune. Runic Spells don't count against
the number of spells you have prepared.
You can cast a spell from your Runic Spell List at its lowest
possible level without expending a spell slot once. When you
do so, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
If you want to cast the spell at a higher level, you must
expend a spell slot as normal.
If the spell requires material components that have a
cost/are consumed, you still need to provide the material
component.
At 17th level, you regain your ability to cast from your
Runic Spell List without expending a spell slot when you
finish a short or long rest.

Runic Manipulations
Runic Boltcaster
Quick Bolt
Starting at 2nd level, you are able to quickly fire off multiple
Runic Bolts.
When you use a Runic Bolt as an action, you can choose to
use an additional Runic Bolt as a bonus action on the same
turn.
You calculate the damage and saving throw DC for each
bolt seperately, dependent on the expended slot for each bolt.
You can use different runes for each Bolt.
In addition, your Bolt Save DC increases by half your
proficiency bonus, rounded up.
Empowered Bolt
Starting at 7th level, you are able to better harness the energy
of your Runic Bolts.
Your Runic Bolt Damage die increases to a d10.
Lingering Bolt
Starting at 13th level, you are able to utilise the fading energy
of a Runic Bolt to hinder your foes' attacks.
As a reaction when a creature you can see suffers damage
from your Runic Bolt, you can force the creature to make a
Constitution saving throw against your Bolt Save DC.
On a failure, the creature suffers damage equal to half the
damage it suffered from the triggering Runic Bolt, and has
disadvantage on it's next attack roll.
Potent Bolt
Starting at 18th level, your mastery of Runic Bolts allows you
to manipulate the energy you use to power a Runic Bolt.
When you expend a spell slot to use a rune's Runic Bolt, it
counts as one slot level higher than the actual expended slot
for the purposes of calculating damage. (e.g expending a 3rd
level spell slot counts as a 4th level spell slot for calculating
damage.) In addition, your Runic Bolts ignore Damage
Resistance.
Runic Auracaster
Burst Aura
Starting at 2nd level, you are able to utilise your Runic Aura
to deal damage.
As a reaction when a creature affected by your Runic Aura
hits with a weapon attack, or is hit by a melee attack, you may
use your reaction to expend a spell slot and deal (level of slot
expended) d6 damage. The damage type is specified in the
rune's Aura Effect.
Protective Aura
Starting from 7th level, you are able to reduce the damage a
creature recieves using your Runic Aura.
When a creature affected by your Runic Aura takes
damage, the damage it takes is reduced by the level of the slot
expended to put up the aura.
Dual Aura
Starting from 13th level, you can have up to two Runic Auras
active at the same time.
A creature under the effects of multiple Runic Auras can
choose which Damage Change effect to benefit from. You can
also choose which Burst Aura Damage Type to use when you
use the Burst Aura feature.
The Protective Aura feature stacks with the Dual Aura
feature.
If you try to put up a third Runic Aura while two already
exist, you choose which existing aura will disappear.
Expanded Aura
Starting at 18th level, you are able to expand the boundaries
of your Runic Aura.
Your Runic Aura's radius increases to 60 feet.
Runic Analyst
Bonus Proficiency
When you choose this archetype at 2nd level, you gain
proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice:
Arcana or Insight.
Rapid Analysis
Starting at 2nd level, you are able to quickly compare the
energies between your runes and a creature.
As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60
feet of you. Make a Wisdom (Insight) or Intelligence (Arcana)
check against a creature you can see that isn’t incapacitated,
contested by the target’s Charisma (Deception) check/passive
Deception.
On a success, you immediately learn whether the creature
has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities
and what they are. If the creature is hidden from divination
magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities,
resistances, or vulnerabilities.
Focused Analysis
Starting from 7th level, you are able to focus on the target of
your Rapid Analysis to get more accurate results.
As a bonus action, you may concentrate on this feature for
up to one minute (as if concentrating on a spell). The next
time you use your Rapid Analysis while still concentrating on
this property, you have advantage on the Wisdom (Insight) or
Intelligence (Arcana) check.
Reactive Aura
Starting from 13th level, you are able to anticipate the type of
damage an ally within your Runic Aura will suffer, and
counter it.
As a reaction when a creature within your Runic Aura
suffers damage, you can change the rune chosen for your
Runic Aura without expending a spell slot. The Aura Effect
and Runic Resistance that your Runic Aura provides changes
accordingly. The amount of time your Runic Aura stays active
for does not change.
Weak-point Bolt
Starting from 18th level, you know how to take advantage of a
creature's weaknesses.
If a creature affected by your Runic Bolt is vulnerable to
the damage type of your Runic Bolt, your Runic Bolt deals
double damage on top of the damage vulnerability.

your person in order to use its properties.
Finding Runes
A rune found as treasure is a master rune, carefully scribed
into a rare object and available for use as a training tool to
allow would-be rune scribes to unlock its power. Each rune
discussed below is detailed as part of a master rune.
Master runes and the runes they contain are treated much
like magic items. They are categorized in rarity from
uncommon to legendary, and can be placed in a campaign
whenever the DM opts to place treasure. There are no
common runes.
Buying and Selling Runes
Treat a master rune as a magic item of its equivalent rarity for
the purpose of buying and selling in the campaign. Simple
runes count as uncommon items, while complex runes count
as rare runes. Just as with other magic items, the DM will
determine whether such items are available to purchase in
the campaign and under what conditions.
Identifying Runes
Runes are identified in a manner similar to magic items.
Simply handling a master rune causes a strong sense of its
rune’s identity to echo in a character’s mind. For example,
touching a master rune item containing the kalt rune (the
rune of cold) might cause you to experience a sudden chill as
visions of snow and ice flash through your mind.
The Identify spell immediately reveals a master rune’s
Runic Resistance. You can also learn its simple properties
over the course of a short rest while maintaining physical
contact with the rune.
